Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hair styling combs exert high pressure on the scalp during massage, leading to discomfort and a poor massage effect.

Innovation Solution

A massage comb head with a soft support made of silica gel, which deforms and rebounds to buffer pressure, featuring an air guide part with air baffles and air outlet holes to distribute airflow and reduce pressure on the scalp.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the comb teeth are made rigid to maintain structural strength, then the comb can withstand mechanical stress, but the pressure on the scalp becomes too high causing discomfort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strength of comb teethVSAvoidpressure on scalp
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The comb teeth are made from a flexible material that can deform elastically under pressure. When force is applied to the comb teeth during scalp massage, the material deforms to reduce the pressure concentration on the scalp surface, and then rebounds to its original shape, providing a comfortable massage effect while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameter of the comb teeth from rigid to flexible by selecting appropriate material properties. The flexible material allows the comb teeth to dynamically adjust their stiffness based on applied force, transforming the pressure distribution to eliminate discomfort while preserving the mechanical strength needed for structural support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the comb teeth are made soft to reduce scalp pressure, then comfort is improved, but the comb cannot withstand mechanical stress

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepressure on scalpVSAvoidmechanical stress resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent selects a flexible material with optimized mechanical properties that balances softness and strength. The material's elastic modulus and tensile strength are chosen to provide sufficient compliance for comfort during massage while maintaining adequate mechanical strength to withstand the stresses of normal comb usage and cleaning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution ensures appropriate massage intensity and enhances the massage effect by reducing excessive stimulation and discomfort, providing a more comfortable and effective scalp massage experience.

Implementation Method 1

the soft support is configured to deform towards the air outlet end and stop at the air outlet end or recover its deformation in a direction far away from the air outlet end

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectDeformation: Deformation

Implementation Method 2

the soft support will be deformed and pressed to the air outlet end of the air guide part, and the air outlet end will support the soft support. The pressure exerted to the comb teeth part is released, and the soft support will rebound to recover its deformation

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

Implementation Method 3

the air guide part includes a plurality of air baffles arranged at intervals, the end surface of the air baffle towards the air outlet is the air outlet end, and a plurality of the air outlet ends collectively stop the soft support

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectFluid flow:

AI summary

The present application discloses a massage comb head and an electrical massage comb. The massage comb head includes a comb housing, an air guide part and a comb teeth part. The comb housing is provided with an air outlet. The air guide part is installed in the comb housing, and the air guide part is provided with an air outlet end provided towards the air outlet. The comb teeth part includes a soft support, and the soft support is arranged at the air outlet. The soft support is configured to deform towards the air outlet end and stop at the air outlet end or recover its deformation in a direction far away from the air outlet end. The pressure of the comb teeth on the head will be buffered, and the scalp will not be excessively stimulated, so as to ensure the appropriate massage intensity.
