Neck Massager Elastic Arm Segmentation for Neck Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing neck massaging devices have a rigid structure that fails to adapt to the individual size of the wearer's neck, potentially causing discomfort and inefficiency in massage delivery.
Innovation Solution
A neck massaging device featuring an elastic arm, handle, connecting member, and electric pulse generating device, where the handle's outer and inner shells are designed to deform and assemble/disassemble easily, allowing the device to conform to the wearer's neck dimensions, with a metal connecting member for enhanced durability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rigid anti-deformation structure is used for the main body, then the electric pulse generating device is protected from damage, but the device cannot adapt to different neck sizes of wearers
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into a rigid main body containing the electric pulse generating device and flexible handles that can deform independently. This segmentation allows the main body to remain protected while the handles adapt to different neck sizes through elastic deformation.
Solution Approach 2:
The handles are designed with elastic properties allowing them to dynamically deform and adapt to different neck dimensions. The elastic arm and handle structure can flexibly change shape while the main body remains stable, resolving the contradiction between rigidity and adaptability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid structure is used, then structural stability is maintained, but comfort and customization for different users is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The device separates the stable main body from the flexible handles, allowing each part to fulfill its specific function - the main body provides structural stability while the handles provide comfort and customization through deformation.
Solution Approach 2:
The handles are constructed with elastic materials that can flex and deform to conform to different neck shapes and sizes, providing comfort and customization while the rigid main body maintains structural stability.
3Strength
If the inner shell is tightly buckled with the outer shell, then structural integrity is improved, but assembly and disassembly become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting member acts as an intermediary component between the inner and outer shells, providing a mechanical interface that maintains structural integrity through the buckled connection while enabling easy assembly and disassembly through the connecting member's design.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between inner and outer shells is segmented into discrete connection points through the connecting member, allowing the structure to remain intact during use while enabling separation when needed for assembly or disassembly.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device effectively adapts to the wearer's neck size, providing a comfortable and customizable massage experience while prolonging the product's lifespan through easy assembly and disassembly.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic arm, a handle, a connecting member, an electrode assembly, and an electric pulse generating device. The handle includes a first outer shell and a first inner shell buckled with each other
Implementation Method 2
The free end of the handle may swing with the connecting member as a pivot under an action of external force to drive the first inner shell to be separated from the connecting member

AI summary
A neck massaging device includes an elastic arm, a handle, a connecting member, an electrode assembly, and an electric pulse generating device. The handle includes a first outer shell and a first inner shell. The first outer shell includes a connecting end and a free end opposite to the connecting end, and the first inner shell is buckled with the first outer shell. The connecting member is for connecting the handle to the elastic arm. The connecting member is connected to the connecting end of the handle and buckled with the first inner shell. The electric pulse generating device is electrically connected with the electrode assembly. The free end of the handle may swing with the connecting member as a pivot under an action of external force to drive the first inner shell to be separated from the connecting member.
