Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional manufacturing methods are used, then the production process is simple, but the product structure is simple and comfort level is average

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidproduct structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The manufacturing process is divided into multiple independent steps: forming the soft outer body, creating the bushing, forming suction cups, and assembling components. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured separately with optimized processes, achieving complex product structure through systematic division of manufacturing steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If traditional materials and manufacturing methods are used, then the production process is cumbersome, but the comfort level is average

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct structure complexityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces lubricating oil as a new parameter/material in the enclosed space between the bushing and soft outer body. This parameter change transforms the traditional solid-structure design into a hybrid system incorporating fluid, significantly improving massage comfort and effectiveness while maintaining manufacturability through standard injection and assembly processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If vibration motor and control device are assembled with additional shells, then the components are protected, but the foreign body feeling increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent protectionVSAvoiduser comfort experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration motor, control device, and power supply unit are integrated directly into the enclosed space formed by the bushing and soft outer body, eliminating the need for separate protective shells. The soft filler material provides natural protection while maintaining close contact with the user's skin, reducing foreign body feeling and improving comfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

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 method results in a massage device with improved comfort and reduced foreign body feeling, providing users with a better experience through the injection of lubricating oil into the enclosed space and the integration of vibration components without additional shells.

Implementation Method 1

injecting the lubricating oil into the enclosed space formed between the bushing and the first cavity
