Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing laser ionization therapy systems require manual operation or time-consuming positioning, making them inefficient for delivering laser light to specific areas of the body during treatments like chiropractic, osteopathic, and acupuncture therapy.
Innovation Solution
A laser ionization therapy system with a laser module attached to a reservoir via a support mechanism, allowing the laser module to be positioned at an angle relative to the reservoir's peripheral wall, directing laser light to predetermined areas, such as meridian points on the feet, with adjustable diode power and a disposable liner for hygiene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a handheld laser probe is used to direct laser light to a particular area of the user's body, then the laser light can be directed to specific areas, but an operator other than the user being treated is required to hold the laser probe
Solution Approach 1:
The laser module is merged with the reservoir structure by attaching it to the peripheral wall of the reservoir. This integration eliminates the need for a separate handheld probe and operator, achieving hands-free operation while the reservoir structure itself serves as the mounting support.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to position and direct laser light automatically without requiring external manual operation. The laser module is pre-positioned on the reservoir to direct light to predetermined locations, enabling the system to serve itself during treatment.
2Measurement precision
If the cold laser unit is physically positioned to direct laser light to a particular area of the user's body, then laser light can be directed to specific areas, but this procedure is time consuming and inexact
Solution Approach 1:
The laser module is pre-positioned and pre-aligned on the reservoir structure during manufacturing or setup. This preliminary positioning ensures that during actual treatment, the laser light is automatically directed to the correct predetermined locations without requiring time-consuming manual adjustment or trial and error.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical positioning process is replaced by a fixed structural mounting system. The laser module is attached to the reservoir at predetermined locations with fixed orientation, eliminating the need for manual mechanical adjustment and ensuring precise, repeatable positioning.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the laser module is attached to the reservoir at a predetermined location, then laser light can be directed to predetermined areas of the user's body, but the laser module must be positioned at specific angles relative to the reservoir wall
Solution Approach 1:
The support mechanism incorporates asymmetric mounting configurations that allow the laser module to be positioned at specific non-standard angles relative to the reservoir wall. This asymmetric design enables the laser beam to be directed at predetermined angles to target specific body areas while maintaining a compact integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system utilizes three-dimensional positioning capabilities by attaching the laser module to the peripheral wall at various heights and angles. This adds spatial dimensions to the positioning, allowing flexible laser direction while maintaining structural integration with the reservoir.
