Solution Overview

Problem

Existing massage devices that use physical squeezing methods can cause user discomfort or pain during prolonged use, negatively affecting the massage experience.

Innovation Solution

A health massage device that utilizes varying air pressure to massage the human body without direct physical contact, employing a massage chamber plug and sleeve mechanism driven by a rotating drive shaft to create changing air pressure for massage effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If physical squeezing massage method is used, then massage effect is achieved, but user discomfort or pain occurs during prolonged use

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemassage effectVSAvoiduser discomfort or pain

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical squeezing massage system with a pneumatic system. Instead of using physical contact and mechanical force from massage heads, the invention uses compressed air delivered through nozzles to create airflow that acts on the body surface, achieving massage effects without direct mechanical pressure that causes discomfort.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs pneumatic principles by using a compressor to generate compressed air, which is then delivered through conduits and nozzles to create targeted airflow on the body. The airflow generates dynamic pressure and suction effects that provide massage without the harmful mechanical contact, resolving the contradiction between effective massage and user comfort.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

2Area of stationary object

If direct physical contact massage is used, then massage coverage is achieved, but prolonged contact causes negative user experience

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemassage coverageVSAvoiduser experience

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces continuous mechanical contact with intermittent pneumatic action. Compressed air is delivered in controlled bursts through multiple nozzles arranged to cover different body areas, providing comprehensive massage coverage while eliminating the discomfort of prolonged physical contact through the non-contact airflow mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

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 device provides a comfortable and effective massage experience by applying varying air pressure to muscle tissue, simulating actions like grasping, kneading, and suction without causing discomfort or pain.

Implementation Method 1

The movement of the massage chamber plug causes a change in air pressure within the sealed space, resulting in a force being applied to the muscle tissue of the human body

Methodology Applied

Scientific EffectAir pressure variation: Pressure Increase

AI summary

A massage device having an end opening includes a housing, a massage chamber sleeve disposed in the housing, a massage chamber plug slidably fitted within the massage chamber sleeve, and a driving component including a drive shaft at least partially disposed in the massage chamber sleeve and functionally coupled with the massage chamber plug. The massage chamber sleeve defines a longitudinal axis and having an open end in air communication with the end opening of the massage device. The drive shaft is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and the rotation of the drive shaft causes the massage chamber plug to move axially relative to the massage chamber sleeve.
