Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If ultrasonic spraying method is used, then therapeutic medicine can be sprayed, but excessive amount of medicine is consumed and direct liquid spray causes shock and stimulus to the nose
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical spraying system (ultrasonic or compressed air) with an electromagnetic field-based treatment system. The microcurrent generator produces electromagnetic waves that directly interact with the nasal cavity tissues and biofilms, eliminating the need for liquid medicine spray and its associated mechanical impact on the nasal passages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces electromagnetic waves as an intermediary medium between the treatment device and the nasal cavity. Instead of directly spraying liquid medicine that causes shock and stimulus, the electromagnetic waves serve as a gentle mediator that can penetrate and treat the affected areas without causing mechanical trauma.
2Reliability
If laser rhinitis curing device is used, then bio-stimulation effect can be achieved, but therapeutic range is narrow due to straightness of laser
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from the one-dimensional straight laser beam to three-dimensional electromagnetic wave propagation. The microcurrent generator emits electromagnetic waves that can spread in multiple directions and penetrate tissues, thereby expanding the therapeutic range from a narrow linear path to a broader volumetric area covering the entire nasal cavity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameter of the electromagnetic radiation from laser light (optical frequency, straight propagation) to microcurrent electromagnetic waves (lower frequency, omnidirectional propagation). This parameter change enables the treatment to cover a wider area while maintaining the bio-stimulation effect through electromagnetic interaction with nasal tissues.
3Reliability
If compressed air spraying method is used, then treatment effect is excellent, but excessive amount of medicine is consumed and direct liquid spray causes stimulus to the nose
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the compressed air mechanical spraying system with an electromagnetic field-based treatment system. The microcurrent generator uses electromagnetic waves to deliver therapeutic effects directly to the nasal cavity, eliminating the need for compressed air propulsion and liquid medicine delivery, thereby reducing medicine consumption while maintaining treatment effectiveness.
