Rotating Pelvic Floor Massager for Gentle In-Body Kneading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pelvic floor massagers, particularly in-body massagers, face challenges in smoothly entering the body and providing gentle yet effective muscle massage without causing injury, especially for women who are weak post-childbirth.
Innovation Solution
An in-body massager designed with a shell that accommodates a battery, circuit board, and driving mechanism, featuring a massage member that rotates reciprocally within a moving space to knead pelvic floor muscles, and includes a flexible cover and hard material structure to ensure smooth entry and gentle massage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the massage mechanism is made small enough to enter the body, then it can be used as an in-body massager, but the patting strength is reduced and cannot be too strong
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a rotating massage mechanism that dynamically adjusts the contact area and pressure distribution during rotation. The massage member rotates within a moving space, allowing the force to be applied continuously but gently, converting the limitation of small size into an advantage for continuous, gentle massage rather than strong intermittent patting
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of force application from strong intermittent patting to continuous gentle pressure through rotation. By controlling the rotation speed and contact area during the massage cycle, the system maintains adequate massage effectiveness while preventing secondary injury to the pelvic floor muscles
2Volume of moving object
If the massage mechanism is made small enough to enter the body, then it can be used as an in-body massager, but the contact area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating massage mechanism dynamically increases the effective contact area during rotation. As the massage member rotates within the moving space, different portions of the massage surface contact the pelvic floor muscles at different times, effectively increasing the total contact area compared to a static small massage mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a static one-dimensional contact point to a rotating two-dimensional contact surface. The massage member rotates within the moving space, creating a circular motion that expands the contact area in the radial direction while maintaining a compact axial length, thus increasing contact area without increasing overall size
3Productivity
If strong patting is applied to massage pelvic floor muscles, then massage effectiveness is improved, but secondary injury to muscles occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating massage mechanism distributes the massage force dynamically over time and space. Instead of applying strong force at one location, the rotation spreads the force application across different areas and moments, reducing peak pressure at any single point while maintaining overall massage effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the force application parameters from high intensity to controlled gentle pressure. By regulating the rotation speed and contact characteristics, the system achieves adequate massage effectiveness through continuous gentle pressure rather than strong intermittent patting, thereby preventing secondary injury
Applied Scientific Principles
