Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sperm extraction devices are inflexible and unable to perform both rotary and telescopic motions, leading to inefficient sperm extraction and discomfort for patients, which exacerbates the growing issue of male infertility due to increased life pressure.
Innovation Solution
A novel rotary and telescopic sperm extractor is designed with a telescopic mechanism incorporating a rotary mechanism, driven by motors and eccentric wheels, allowing for reciprocating and rotary motion, along with an inner container equipped with identification chips and magnetic positioning for precise alignment and secure liquid containment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a fixed sperm extractor is used, then the device structure is simple, but the sperm extraction efficiency is poor and patient comfort is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the fixed extractor structure into a dynamic one with telescopic and rotary capabilities. The telescopic mechanism allows the inner container to extend and retract, while the rotary mechanism enables rotational movement, creating a dynamic extraction process that improves sperm collection efficiency without excessive structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The device achieves multi-functionality by integrating both telescopic and rotary mechanisms into a single extractor. This allows the device to perform multiple functions: extending for deeper insertion, rotating for optimal positioning, and combining both motions for enhanced sperm extraction, thereby improving productivity without requiring multiple separate devices
2Ease of operation
If a fixed sperm extractor is used, then the device is simple to manufacture, but it causes discomfort to patients
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic telescopic and rotary mechanisms allow the extractor to adapt to different patient anatomies and comfort levels. The telescopic feature enables adjustment of insertion depth, while the rotary mechanism allows positioning at optimal angles, significantly improving patient comfort during the extraction procedure
Solution Approach 2:
The extractor is segmented into multiple functional components: the outer housing, the telescopic mechanism, the rotary mechanism, and the inner container. This segmentation allows for modular manufacturing where each component can be produced separately and assembled, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite the enhanced functionality
3Reliability
If an inner container is added for liquid containment, then liquid security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The inner container is nested within the outer housing, with the telescopic mechanism allowing it to extend and retract within the housing. This nesting arrangement provides secure liquid containment while maintaining a compact overall structure, avoiding the need for separate containment devices and thus limiting the increase in device complexity
