Operating Device With Relatively Movable Vibrating Grips
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing operating devices require large vibrating bodies to transmit sufficient vibration to the user's hand, leading to inefficiencies and potential interference with device operation.
Innovation Solution
The operating device features relatively movable grips coupled to a housing body via coupling portions and dampers, allowing individual grips to vibrate effectively without transmitting excessive vibration to the housing body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If the vibrating body vibrates the entire operating device including the operating unit and the grip, then the vibration can be transmitted to the user's hand, but a large vibrating body is required which increases device size and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The operating device is segmented into a housing body and a grip that are coupled in a relatively movable manner. The vibrating body is disposed within the grip rather than the housing body, separating the vibration generation function from the main device structure. This segmentation allows the vibration to be localized to the grip portion, enabling effective vibration transmission to the user's hand without requiring a large vibrating body that would increase overall device complexity.
2Force
If the vibrating body vibrates the entire operating device, then vibration transmission to the hand is achieved, but the vibration escapes to the housing body causing interference with device operation
Solution Approach 1:
The operating device is divided into a housing body and a grip that are relatively movable with respect to each other. The vibrating body is disposed within the grip, creating a segmented structure where vibration is localized to the grip portion. This segmentation prevents vibration from escaping to the housing body, eliminating interference with device operation while maintaining effective vibration transmission to the user's hand.
Solution Approach 2:
The vibrating body is extracted from the housing body and placed within the grip portion. This extraction isolates the vibration source from the main device structure, preventing harmful vibration transmission to the housing body while maintaining the desired vibration effect on the user's hand through the grip.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables efficient vibration transmission to the user's hand without interfering with device operation, using smaller vibrating bodies and reducing vibration escape to the housing body.
Implementation Method 1
one or more vibrating bodies capable of generating vibration
Implementation Method 2
the vibration of the individual grips is less likely to escape to the housing body when the individual vibrating bodies vibrate
