Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If massage modules are integrated into a fixed structure, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different user needs and body parts is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The massage device is divided into a stick body and multiple detachable massage subassemblies. Each subassembly can be independently selected and attached to the stick body, allowing users to customize their massage experience while maintaining a simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The stick body serves as a universal carrier that can accommodate different types of massage subassemblies. The standardized interface and conducting sliding rail system allow a single stick body to support multiple massage functions through interchangeable subassemblies.
2Adaptability or versatility
If massage modules are fixed in position, then the device structure is stable, but the relative position between modules cannot be adjusted for different users
Solution Approach 1:
The massage subassemblies are designed to be dynamically positionable on the stick body through the conducting sliding rail system. Users can slide and lock subassemblies at different positions along the stick body to accommodate different body parts and user preferences, while the silica gel layers provide friction-based positioning stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple massage functions are integrated into one device, then the functionality is comprehensive, but the device becomes complex and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
Different massage functions are separated into distinct subassemblies (e.g., vibration module, rolling module, heating module). Users can select and attach only the subassemblies they need for a particular massage session, simplifying operation while maintaining comprehensive functionality across different configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The device allows users to self-configure their massage experience by selecting and attaching appropriate subassemblies to the stick body. The intuitive sliding and locking mechanism enables easy assembly and disassembly without requiring technical knowledge or complex procedures.
4Adaptability or versatility
If massage subassemblies are made detachable and adjustable, then the adaptability to different users is improved, but the electrical connection stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Conducting sliding rails and corresponding conducting sheets serve as intermediary components between the stick body and detachable subassemblies. These intermediaries maintain continuous electrical connection during the sliding and detaching processes, ensuring signal and power transmission stability while allowing mechanical adjustability.
Solution Approach 2:
Silica gel layers are used as flexible contact surfaces between the stick body and subassemblies. These elastic layers maintain constant pressure contact with the conducting sliding rails, ensuring stable electrical connection even when subassemblies are adjusted to different positions or detached and reattached.
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
Enables users to customize massage modes by replacing subassemblies and adjust their length on the stick body, maintaining stable electrical connections and ensuring working stability through silica gel layers and conducting sliding rails.
Implementation Method 1
a conducting sliding rail disposed in a lengthwise direction of the stick body, and the PCB is electrically connected to the conducting sliding rail. Each massage subassembly is provided with a conducting sheet adapting to the conducting sliding rail, and the conducting sheet is electrically connected to the second massage module
Implementation Method 2
An inner side surface of the connecting through hole has a first silica gel layer. An outer side surface of the stick body is provided with a second silica gel layer. When the massage subassembly is arranged on the stick body, the first silica gel layer and the second silica gel layer are in contact with each other

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a massage device with replaceable massage subassemblies, including a stick body and at least one massage subassembly. A printed circuit board (PCB), a first massage module, and a power supply are arranged in the stick body. The PCB is electrically connected to the first massage module and the power supply. A second massage module is arranged in each massage subassembly. The stick body is provided with a conducting sliding rail, and the PCB is electrically connected to the conducting sliding rail. Each massage subassembly is provided with a conducting sheet adapting to the conducting sliding rail. The conducting sheet is capable of sliding in a reciprocating manner on the conducting sliding rail. Therefore, by means of configuring several massage subassemblies, each massage subassembly has a different massage function, so that a user can replace massage subassemblies to achieve different massage modes.
