Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single heat dissipation channel is used for multiple heat-generating elements, then the device structure is simple, but the heat dissipation efficiency is insufficient and temperature reduction is incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation structureVSAvoidtemperature reduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the heat dissipation system into multiple independent channels, with each channel dedicated to cooling a specific heat-generating element. The shell is provided with multiple inlets and outlets that form separate cooling paths, allowing independent heat dissipation for the light-emitting body, circuit board, and battery, thereby resolving the insufficient temperature reduction when using a single channel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the portable depilation instrument is designed small for portability, then it is easier to hold and use, but heat accumulation is more easily formed

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multiple heat dissipation channels within the compact instrument body, allowing efficient heat dissipation without increasing the overall device size. Each channel is optimized for its specific heat-generating component, enabling effective temperature control in a small-form-factor device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the internal three-dimensional space of the instrument shell to arrange multiple heat dissipation channels in different spatial dimensions. By strategically positioning inlets, outlets, and cooling paths throughout the instrument's volume, the design achieves enhanced heat dissipation capacity without increasing the instrument's external dimensions

Inventive Principle:

3Device complexity

If multiple heat-generating elements share the same power supply, then the device structure is simplified, but it is difficult to dissipate heat from all elements simultaneously and efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply structureVSAvoidheat dissipation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the heat dissipation system into multiple independent channels, with each channel corresponding to a specific heat-generating element powered by the same power supply. This segmentation allows simultaneous and efficient heat dissipation for all elements without requiring separate power supplies, maintaining structural simplicity while achieving complete temperature reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A portable depilation instrument includes a shell, and a depilation mechanism and a heat dissipation mechanism inside the shell. The shell is provided with at least two outlets and one inlet, the shell introduces an external cooling medium from the inlet, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a heat conductive component, the depilation mechanism includes a refrigeration element and an emitter, the heat conductive component isolates the refrigeration element from the emitter in two mutually sealed channels, namely, a first channel and a second channel, the first channel and the second channel are respectively in communication with two outlets, and one of the outlets allows the first channel or the second channel to pass through inside of the entire shell from one end to the other end. Due to complete isolation and a push force, air can be discharged only from a respective corresponding outlet after a heat exchange.
