Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If plasma generating devices are formed as a single set with a separately provided power supply source, then stable power supply is achieved, but the user needs to invest in multiple devices and power supplies increasing financial burden
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power supply source and plasma generating device into a single integrated unit. The main body houses both the power supply circuitry and plasma generation components, eliminating the need for separate external power supplies and reducing the number of devices users need to purchase and manage.
Solution Approach 2:
The main body is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple types of plasma generating devices through standardized interfaces. This allows a single power supply unit to support various plasma devices, reducing the need for multiple specialized power supplies and lowering overall system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate devices and power supplies are required, then appropriate procedures can be performed on human body, but financial investment and cost to customer increases
Solution Approach 1:
The main body serves as a universal platform that can operate multiple different plasma generating devices through standardized connection interfaces. This multi-functionality allows the system to perform various skin care procedures while requiring only one power supply unit, thereby reducing the quantity of equipment needed and the associated financial investment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows dynamic configuration where different plasma generating devices can be connected and disconnected from the main body as needed. This flexibility enables the system to adapt to different treatment requirements without requiring permanent installation of multiple devices, reducing upfront costs while maintaining versatility.
3Reliability
If plasma is generated based on discharge of high voltage, then plasma treatment effect is achieved, but ozone is generated as harmful factor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates an ozone removal unit that actively removes ozone generated during plasma discharge. The system converts the harmful ozone byproduct into a manageable issue through dedicated removal mechanisms, allowing the beneficial plasma treatment effects to proceed while mitigating the harmful ozone generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The ozone removal unit operates concurrently with plasma generation to prevent ozone accumulation. By implementing preliminary anti-action through continuous ozone removal, the system maintains effective plasma treatment while proactively counteracting the harmful effects of ozone before it can cause damage.
