Solution Overview
Problem
Existing massagers can only perform one massage action through a single motor, leading to low comfort and poor combination of massage actions for different parts of the human body.
Innovation Solution
A massager with a power mechanism and linear reciprocating mechanism that drives a flexible massage mechanism to reciprocate and rotate, incorporating multiple gears and swing assemblies to enable simultaneous reciprocating and rotating massage actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single motor is used to drive massage functions, then the device complexity is reduced, but the massage comfort and combination of massage actions deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the massage mechanism into multiple independent components: a rotating massage head for rotational massage, a reciprocating massage rod for linear massage, and a vibrating massage element for vibration massage. Each component is driven by a separate motor, allowing independent control of different massage actions. This segmentation enables multiple massage functions to be performed simultaneously or independently, resolving the contradiction between device complexity and massage comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional massage device where a single system can perform multiple massage actions (rotation, reciprocation, vibration) on different parts of the body. The universal drive system with multiple motors allows the device to adapt to various massage needs and body parts, improving versatility and comfort without excessive complexity increase through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple massage functions are integrated into a single device, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the massage functions into distinct mechanical components (rotating head, reciprocating rod, vibrating element), each with its own drive mechanism. This modular segmentation allows for easier manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance while providing multiple massage functions, thus improving versatility without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple massage functions within a single integrated device housing, merging the rotating, reciprocating, and vibrating mechanisms into one unit. This consolidation provides space efficiency and allows simultaneous multi-point massage, achieving versatility while controlling complexity through integrated design rather than separate devices.
3Device complexity
If a single motor performs all massage actions, then the power mechanism is simplified, but the massage action combination capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The power mechanism is segmented into multiple independent motors, each dedicated to a specific massage action (rotation, reciprocation, vibration). This segmentation simplifies the control logic for each motor while enabling complex combined massage actions through coordinated operation of multiple simple motor units, resolving the contradiction between power mechanism simplicity and action combination capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces transmission mechanisms (gears, belts, or direct drives) as intermediaries between the motors and massage components. These intermediaries allow each motor to operate independently at optimal speeds while transmitting motion to the appropriate massage element, enabling action combination without requiring a single complex motor system.
