Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a conventional shower head is used, then water is sprayed for basic cleaning, but it does not purify water or address skin inflammation caused by metal oxides and impurities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin inflammation from metal oxides and impuritiesVSAvoidwater purification and skin care functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional components into a single shower head system: a ceramic member with precious serpentine for infrared radiation and antibacterial effects, permanent magnets for ionization, and a microbubble generator for water purification. This merging of functions addresses skin inflammation and purifies water simultaneously, transforming a basic shower head into a multi-functional skin care device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The shower head is designed to perform multiple functions: spraying water for cleaning, generating infrared radiation for skin penetration and healing, producing negative ions for antibacterial effects, and creating microbubbles for water purification. This multi-functionality allows a single device to address various skin concerns and water quality issues that would otherwise require separate devices or treatments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If precious serpentine is added to water purification systems, then antibacterial and deodorizing effects are achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacteria and odors in waterVSAvoidstructure with ceramic member, magnets, and microbubble generator
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the precious serpentine-containing ceramic member with permanent magnets and a microbubble generator into a unified shower head assembly. By combining these components that work synergistically (infrared radiation for antibacterial effects, magnetic ionization, and microbubble purification), the design achieves comprehensive water purification and deodorizing functions without requiring separate standalone devices, thereby managing complexity through functional integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the ceramic member with precious serpentine is used to emit infrared radiation, then skin health is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin health benefits from infrared radiationVSAvoidceramic member composition and positioning
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates precious serpentine specifically within the ceramic member that is positioned to emit infrared radiation directly toward the user's skin. This localized placement of the infrared-generating material ensures that the beneficial radiation is directed where needed (on the skin during showering) while allowing other parts of the shower head to have different functional properties, thereby optimizing manufacturing precision requirements for specific critical components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed herein is a multifunction shower head including a ceramic member containing precious serpentine. The ceramic member containing precious serpentine and quartz porphyry is disposed inside the shower head to generate far infrared (FIR) radiation beneficial to the skin. Precious serpentine has antibacterial and deodorizing effects to providing an effect of purifying supply water. Permanent magnets of the multi-ionizer generate ionized water, and a channel of the multi-ionizer has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, such that flowing water is exposed to a magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets for a longer period of time. The multi-ionizer radiates negative ions beneficial to the human body.
