Solution Overview

Problem

Existing massage products, particularly tapping-type massagers, suffer from insufficient tapping intensity and lack of localized stimulation, especially when used on the skin or inside the body, due to high frequency and low amplitude vibrations, and undifferentiated vibration patterns.

Innovation Solution

A contact-type massage tapping device with a movable tapping body and a driving assembly that allows for reciprocating motion within an accommodating cavity, featuring elastic energy storage members to enhance tapping intensity and localized stimulation, and multiple degrees of freedom for adjustable tapping effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Force

If an eccentric vibrating motor drives an inertial eccentric wheel to rotate and drive the casing to vibrate, then the massager can produce tapping sensation, but the tapping frequency is high and amplitude is low, resulting in insufficient tapping intensity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetapping intensityVSAvoidtapping frequency
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The massager is divided into a stationary casing and a movable tapping body. The tapping body is separated from the main body and can move independently within the accommodating cavity, allowing it to generate tapping motion distinct from the casing vibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The tapping body is designed with movable connection members that allow it to swing and reciprocate within the accommodating cavity. This dynamic structure enables the tapping body to achieve greater amplitude motion while maintaining controlled frequency, resolving the contradiction between tapping intensity and frequency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Force

If the massager is used with certain force onto the skin or inside the body, then the massage effect can be enhanced, but the vibration/tapping feeling obviously reduces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemassage pressureVSAvoidreduced vibration feeling
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The tapping body is separated from the main body and can move independently within the accommodating cavity. This segmentation allows the tapping body to maintain its vibration and tapping motion even when the main body applies pressure against the skin or body, preventing the harmful effect of reduced vibration feeling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The accommodating cavity acts as an intermediary space that allows the tapping body to move freely while the main body can apply external force. The movable connection members serve as intermediaries that transmit motion while isolating the tapping body from the external pressure applied to the main body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If the main body (casing) vibrates on the whole to simulate tapping effects, then the massager can produce tapping sensation, but the vibration forms undifferentiated tapping without localized stimulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveundifferentiated tappingVSAvoidlocalized stimulation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The tapping body is separated from the main body and can move independently within the accommodating cavity. This segmentation allows the tapping body to provide localized stimulation at specific positions while the main body can remain stationary or vibrate independently, enabling differentiated and targeted massage effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The tapping body is designed with specific tapping surfaces that can be positioned at different locations within the accommodating cavity. This allows the massager to provide localized stimulation at different body parts while maintaining the ability to differentiate between various tapping locations, eliminating undifferentiated tapping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
