Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional massagers require manual on/off switching, which can be inconvenient for users, and do not adapt to the user's physiological curve for improved comfort.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent start and stop massager design featuring a first shell connected to a second shell via a spring, with a vibration motor, touch sensor chip, and main control board, allowing automatic activation when held and deactivation when released, and a deformable massage head for better physiological alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a manual button switch is used to control the massager, then the device structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to inconvenient manual switching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The massager automatically detects when it is held by the user through the touch sensor chip and activates the vibration motor without requiring manual button pressing. The system serves itself by sensing user presence and autonomously starting/stopping the massage function, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical button switch system with an intelligent touch sensor chip-based automatic control system. This substitution eliminates the need for manual mechanical switching while adding automated detection and control functions, resolving the contradiction between operational convenience and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the first shell is fixed to the second shell, then the device structure is stable, but the adaptability deteriorates because the massage head cannot deform to match human physiological curves

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidstability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a connecting spring between the first shell and second shell, transforming the fixed rigid connection into a dynamic flexible connection. This allows the massage head (first shell) to deform and adapt to human physiological curves while maintaining stable overall structure through the spring mechanism, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
