Innovation Solution
A portable negative potential inducing device with a box body, AC/DC converter, booster, and insulating rod, generating negative potential through an insulating rod that induces negative charges on its surface, while shielding electromagnetic waves and preventing pollutant release.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If corona discharging negative ion generator is used to generate negative ions, then negative ions are produced in the air, but excessive pollutants such as ozone and nitric oxide are generated which harm the human body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the harmful byproducts (ozone and nitric oxide) from the negative ion generation process by using a special electrode structure and controlling the discharging mode, allowing only negative ions to be released into the air while confining pollutants within the device structure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful corona discharging process into a beneficial one by carefully controlling the electric field distribution and electrode geometry, transforming what would normally produce excessive ozone into a process that primarily generates negative ions with minimal harmful byproducts
2Object-affected harmful factors
If negative ions are sealed in a wooden box to prevent pollutant inhalation, then human body can touch the box, but negative ions cannot penetrate the box according to scientific theories, and the device becomes large and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the negative ion generation function from a enclosed box structure, using a portable handheld device that directly releases negative ions into the air around the user, eliminating the need for sealing and allowing precise targeting of specific body areas
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the negative ion generation function into a compact, modular handheld device that can be easily carried and positioned, replacing the large enclosed box structure with segmented functional components that maintain effectiveness while improving portability
3Quantity of substance
If wooden box is used to seal negative ions and pollutants, then negative ions are contained, but the box body is large and cumbersome to use, unable to concentratedly and precisely contact targeted location or acupuncture points
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the negative ion generation into a focused, directional stream from the handheld device, allowing precise concentration on specific acupuncture points or targeted locations, replacing the diffuse containment approach of the wooden box
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a controlled air current as an intermediary medium to transport negative ions from the device to the target area, enabling precise delivery without requiring direct contact or enclosed structures
