Innovation Solution

A pet shaver design incorporating a shaving strip and a detachable roller with an adhesive layer that allows for simultaneous shaving and hair collection, integrating both functions into a single device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single shaver is used for shaving pets, then the shaving function is achieved, but additional cleaning tools are required to manage scattered hair

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidnumber of tools
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the shaving function (shaving strip) and hair collection function (roller with adhesive layer) into a single integrated device. The roller is detachably connected to the main body frame, allowing both shaving and cleaning functions to be performed with one tool, eliminating the need for separate cleaning tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The shaver is designed to perform multiple functions: the shaving strip shaves pet hair while the roller with adhesive layer collects scattered hair. This multi-functional design allows a single device to replace multiple tools, addressing the need for both shaving and hair management capabilities.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If additional cleaning tools are used to collect scattered hair, then hair cleaning is achieved, but purchase cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning capabilityVSAvoidpurchase cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the shaving and hair collection functions into one device, the patent eliminates the need to purchase separate cleaning tools. The roller with adhesive layer provides effective hair collection capability, reducing overall purchase cost while maintaining cleaning functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple tools (shaver and cleaning tool) are used, then both shaving and cleaning functions are achieved, but storage becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional capabilityVSAvoidstorage convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the shaving strip and roller into a single compact device with detachable components. This unified design significantly reduces storage requirements compared to storing multiple separate tools, while maintaining both shaving and hair collection functional capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Adaptability or versatility

If a roller with adhesive layer is added to the shaver, then hair collection function is achieved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning functionVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The roller is designed as a detachable component that can be separately connected to the main body frame. This segmentation allows the adhesive layer to be applied only to the roller surface, simplifying the overall structure while adding the cleaning function. The modular design reduces structural complexity compared to integrating the adhesive layer into the main body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The pet shaver includes a main body frame, a shaving strip and a roller. The main body frame has a working end. A part of the working end extends in a first direction, and the part of the working end has a first side portion and a second side portion which are opposite to each other. The shaving strip is arranged on the first side portion and extends in the first direction. The roller is detachably connected to the second side portion. An axis of the roller extends in the first direction. The roller is capable of rotating around the axis relative to the second side portion, and a circumferential surface of the roller is provided with an adhesive layer.
