Portable Cold Plate Chiller With Venting for Targeted Fat Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods are inadequate for effectively cooling the human body to dissolve fat, particularly for targeted fat reduction on specific areas such as the stomach or thighs.
Innovation Solution
A chiller device with a housing containing a cold plate and a chiller, equipped with vents and handles, which can be used to cool the body by displacing heated air and incorporating additional features like straps, buttons for temperature control, and optional light emitters to enhance fat reduction through various thermal and electromagnetic treatments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a chiller device is designed to cool the body for fat dissolution, then fat reduction effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple components (chiller, cold plate, vents, handles, straps, light emitters)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple therapeutic functions into a single integrated device: the chiller mechanism for cooling, light emitters for electromagnetic therapy, and the cold plate for direct body contact. This merging of functions into one device structure addresses the contradiction by providing comprehensive fat reduction treatment while maintaining a unified device architecture rather than separate devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed with multi-functionality to address different aspects of fat reduction: the chiller and cold plate provide cryolysis treatment, while the light emitters provide electromagnetic therapy. This universal design allows the single device to perform multiple therapeutic functions, improving overall effectiveness without requiring multiple separate devices.
2Weight of moving object
If the chiller is disposed inside the housing with vents positioned on the housing, then portability is improved, but cooling efficiency may worsen due to space constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The chiller is nested inside the housing structure, with the cold plate positioned to extend from the housing for body contact. This nested arrangement allows the cooling mechanism to be portable while maintaining functional effectiveness through strategic positioning of the cold plate exterior to the housing for direct thermal contact with the treatment area.
Solution Approach 2:
The vents are positioned on the housing exterior to facilitate air circulation, while the cold plate extends from the housing to provide external cooling contact. This spatial arrangement in different dimensions allows the device to maintain portability while ensuring adequate cooling efficiency through proper thermal contact geometry.
