Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ultrasonic massage devices with fixed specifications cannot accommodate the varying body shapes of multiple family members, leading to unnecessary expenditure as each member requires a separate device.
Innovation Solution
A modular ultrasonic massage ring device composed of arc frame components and assembly locking structures, allowing for flexible assembly to create different sizes and specifications, with ultrasonic massage mechanisms extending radially from the components, enabling adjustment of massage pressure and incorporating a wireless controller for centralized control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed specification ultrasonic massage device is designed, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot accommodate different body shapes of multiple family members
Solution Approach 1:
The massage device is divided into multiple arc frame components that can be independently assembled. Each arc frame component contains an ultrasonic massage mechanism, and they can be combined in different quantities (one, two, three, or four) to create massage devices of different sizes and specifications, accommodating various body shapes and massage needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The arc frame components are designed with universal assembly locking structures that allow the same basic component to serve multiple functions. The same arc frame component can be used in different configurations (single, dual, triple, or quadruple arrangement) to create different massage device specifications, making the system universally adaptable to different users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate massage devices are purchased for each family member, then each member gets a device suited to their body shape, but the family incurs unnecessary expenditure as massage devices are not daily necessities
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of manufacturing complete separate devices for each user, the system segments the device into modular arc frame components that can be shared and reconfigured. One set of components can be assembled into different configurations to serve multiple family members, reducing the total number of devices needed while maintaining customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The device configuration is made dynamic and adjustable rather than fixed. The arc frame components can be easily assembled and disassembled to change the number and arrangement of ultrasonic massage mechanisms, allowing the same physical components to adapt to different user needs over time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a modular design with multiple arc frame components is used, then different specifications can be assembled for different family members, but the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into standardized arc frame components with identical assembly locking structures. This segmentation with standardization means that while the overall configuration can vary, each connection point follows the same simple assembly process, reducing the complexity increase that would normally accompany modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows parameter changes (number of arc frames, arrangement configuration) without changing the fundamental assembly methodology. The assembly locking structure remains constant regardless of how many arc frame components are used, so the complexity of joining individual components does not increase even as the overall device complexity increases.

AI summary
A modular ultrasonic massage ring device, including arc frame components, assembly locking structures, and ultrasonic massage mechanisms extending radially from the arc frame components respectively; each of the assembly locking structures is arranged between opposing ends of two adjacent arc frame components to assemble and fix the arc frame components to form a ring-shaped ultrasonic massage device; the ultrasonic massage mechanisms extend radially from the arc frame components. A number of the arc frame components to be assembled can be increased or reduced to assemble different massage ring device of different specifications so that a single product can meet the demands of all family members who may have different body shape.
