Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If multiple rotating connectors and blades are used to connect the head, then the cutting function is achieved, but the structure becomes complex and parts become fragile

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidpart durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple rotating connectors and blades into a single integrated movable blade assembly that is directly driven by one eccentric shaft. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple separate connectors and blades, simplifying the overall structure while improving reliability by reducing the number of potential failure points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The movable blade assembly serves multiple functions: it acts as both the cutting element and the connecting mechanism between the eccentric shaft and the blade screen. This multi-functional design replaces the conventional separate components (connectors + blades), achieving structural simplification without compromising the cutting function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple rotating connectors and blades are used, then the cutting function is achieved, but the parts are prone to damage and service life is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoidnumber of parts
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By combining multiple parts into a single movable blade assembly, the patent reduces the total number of components that could potentially fail. This merger directly addresses the reliability issue by minimizing the number of parts that need to withstand operational stresses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and eliminates the unnecessary rotating connectors from the conventional design, retaining only the essential cutting function through the movable blade assembly. This removal of redundant components reduces complexity and potential failure points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If conventional blade connecting structures are used, then the head can operate, but flexibility of the head is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehead flexibilityVSAvoidconnecting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a movable blade assembly that can dynamically adjust its position and movement in response to the rotation of the single eccentric shaft. This dynamic design replaces the rigid conventional connecting structures, enabling the head to adapt to different shaving conditions and improving flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The design achieves a better beard shaving effect with improved durability and user experience by ensuring even stress on the blades, extending the service life of the shaver head and enhancing cutting efficiency.

Implementation Method 1

the blade holder spring and the body spring in the spring assembly fit with parts of the head, so that during operation of the shaver head, when moving downward under impact of an external force, the movable blade assembly acts on the movable blade holder by using elastic recovery forces of the springs

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElastic recovery: Elastic Recovery

Implementation Method 2

the movable blade holder is directly driven by using an eccentric shaft, the movable blade holder drives the movable blade assembly to reciprocate

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectEccentric mechanism: Eccentric
