Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional electric shavers have a fixed shaving head angle relative to the main body, requiring users to manually adjust the shaver's angle to fit different facial contours, reducing shaving ability and user experience.

Innovation Solution

The electric shaver features a sliding seat connected to a tool carrier, driven by an output shaft for transverse movement, allowing the shaving head to adjust its angle independently relative to the main body, adapting to facial curves.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the shaving head is fixed at a fixed angle with the main body, then the structural design is simple, but the shaving ability and user experience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshaving abilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shaving head is designed with a hinged connection to the main body, allowing it to dynamically adjust its angle relative to the main body. This dynamic structure enables the shaving head to adapt to different facial contours while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, thus resolving the contradiction between shaving ability and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the shaving head angle is fixed, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different facial contours is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to facial contoursVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hinged connection between the shaving head and main body creates a dynamic angle adjustment capability, allowing the shaving head to adapt to various facial contours without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the shaving head angle cannot be adjusted, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By implementing a hinged connection that allows the shaving head to adjust its angle dynamically, the device provides a better user experience for shaving different facial areas while keeping the structural complexity relatively low.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An electric shaver includes: a head part, a main body, and a connecting seat. The head part is provided with a first sliding seat capable of transversely sliding back and forth and a first tool carrier configured to install a moving blade. The main body is provided with a drive device with an output shaft therein, a top of the first sliding seat is connected with the first tool carrier, and a bottom of the first sliding seat is connected with the output shaft. After the output shaft rotates, the first sliding seat can be driven to slide back and forth transversely. An end of the connecting seat is connected with the main body, and the other end of the connecting seat is hinged with the head part along a transverse hinge shaft. The shaving ability of the electric shaver is stronger and the user experience is better.
