Massage Reinforcement Block for Dynamic Compression in Massagers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing negative pressure massagers have a flat side wall in the massage chamber, resulting in inadequate massage effects and user experience, as they fail to effectively compress and vibrate the massaged area of the human body.
Innovation Solution
An improved massager design featuring a massage reinforcement block on the side wall that moves towards the centerline of the massage chamber, combined with a vibration motor and a vibration adjustment mechanism, which enhances the massage effect by compressing and vibrating the massaged area, and adjusts vibration intensity based on deformation changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the side wall of the massage chamber is kept flat, then the device structure is simple, but the massage effect is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The side wall of the massage chamber is transformed from a static flat structure to a dynamic structure with movable massage reinforcement blocks. These blocks can move towards the centerline of the massage chamber according to the shape changes of the massage device, dynamically adjusting the massage pressure and contact area to enhance the massage effect while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The side wall is segmented into multiple massage reinforcement blocks that can move independently towards the centerline. This segmentation allows different parts of the side wall to provide differentiated massage effects, improving overall massage effectiveness without significantly complicating the device structure.
2Reliability
If a massage reinforcement block is added to move towards the centerline, then the massage effect is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The massage reinforcement blocks are integrated with the deformation support frame and the elastic deformation characteristics of the massage device. The blocks utilize the existing elastic deformation of the massage device to move towards the centerline, merging the massage function with the structural deformation mechanism, thereby enhancing the massage effect without proportionally increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The massage reinforcement blocks automatically move towards the centerline in response to the elastic deformation of the massage device during operation. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for additional complex drive systems, as the blocks utilize the natural deformation cycles of the massage device to provide enhanced massage effect.
3Reliability
If vibration function is added, then the massage effect is further enhanced, but the device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
A vibration motor is installed in the massage device to generate mechanical vibrations that enhance the massage effect. The vibration function is integrated with the existing deformation mechanism, allowing the vibration motor to work in conjunction with the elastic deformation and massage reinforcement blocks to provide multi-dimensional massage stimulation without requiring a completely separate vibration system.
Solution Approach 2:
The vibration motor serves multiple functions: it provides vibration enhancement during massage operations and can potentially serve as part of the drive mechanism for the deformation support frame. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity despite adding the vibration function.
