Section-Type Vibration Plates for Uniform Magnetic Shoe Vibration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vibration modules in shoes fail to provide uniform and prolonged vibration, which can lead to fatigue and boredom during walking, as they do not effectively amplify vibration through multiple points of movement.
Innovation Solution
A vibration module with section-type vibration plates using magnetic force, where the plates are branched into multiple points and connected to a vibration frame, allowing for up and down amplitude movement via magnetic force, increasing the vibration period and uniformity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If a single vibration plate is used in existing vibration modules, then the structure is simple, but the vibration is not uniform and the vibration period is short
Solution Approach 1:
The vibration plate is divided into multiple sections (first vibration plate, second vibration plate, third vibration plate) that are branched from a common vibration frame. Each section can move independently, creating multiple vibration points that work simultaneously to extend the overall vibration period and provide more uniform vibration distribution.
2Reliability
If a single vibration plate is used, then the device is simple to manufacture, but the vibration uniformity is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The vibration system is segmented into multiple independent vibration plates (first, second, and third vibration plates) connected to a common vibration frame. This segmentation allows each plate to contribute to uniform vibration distribution, improving reliability while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple vibration plates are merged with a common vibration frame structure, where each plate is connected at different points. This combining approach allows the system to achieve uniform vibration through multiple sources while maintaining a unified structural framework that simplifies manufacturing and assembly.
3Reliability
If multiple vibration plates are introduced, then vibration uniformity and period improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple vibration plates are merged with a common vibration frame that serves as a shared support structure. This merging approach allows multiple vibration sources to work together for improved uniformity while sharing common components (frame, mounting points), thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.
