Solution Overview

Problem

Existing skin cleansing devices rely on single vibration massage methods, failing to simulate manual hand washing and effectively integrate with cleansing cosmetics to produce rich cleaning foam, thus limiting cleaning effectiveness and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A skin cleaning device featuring a cleaning assembly with a silicone sleeve, foaming and rotating silicone brushes, driven by dual motors, which produces cleaning foam through friction and simulates manual rubbing, combining vibration and rotation for enhanced cleaning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single vibration massage method is used, then the device structure is simple, but the cleaning effectiveness is limited and cannot simulate manual hand washing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning effectivenessVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple cleaning mechanisms (vibration massage, rotation, and foaming) into a single cleaning device. The cleaning assembly integrates a vibration component, a rotation component with rotating silicone brush, and a foaming component with foaming protrusions, allowing the device to simulate manual hand washing while maintaining structural integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning device is designed to perform multiple cleaning functions simultaneously: vibration massage for gentle cleaning, rotation for deeper cleaning simulation, and foaming for enhanced cleansing. The control assembly allows users to select different working modes (vibration only, rotation only, or combined vibration and rotation), providing versatile cleaning options.

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

2Ease of operation

If vibration massage only is used, then the device is simple to operate, but it cannot effectively cooperate with cleansing cosmetics to produce rich cleaning foam

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefoaming capabilityVSAvoidcleaning assembly structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The foaming protrusions are designed to contact the cleansing cosmetics before the main cleaning action occurs. As the rotation component rotates the silicone brush, the foaming protrusions预先 interact with the cleanser to generate foam, ensuring that the cleaning surface is already covered with rich cleaning foam when it contacts the skin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The foaming protrusions act as an intermediary between the rotation mechanism and the cleansing cosmetics. They transfer the mechanical motion into foam generation, mediating the interaction between the device and the cleanser to produce rich cleaning foam that enhances the overall cleaning effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If multiple cleaning mechanisms are integrated, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning effectivenessVSAvoidmotor and component integration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cleaning device is segmented into distinct functional modules: a vibration component, a rotation component with its own motor and silicone brush, and a foaming component with foaming protrusions. Each module is independently designed and can be controlled separately through the control assembly, allowing for improved cleaning effectiveness while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of operation

If a rotating silicone brush is added to simulate manual rubbing, then the cleaning process is enhanced, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual rubbing simulationVSAvoidrotation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cleaning device incorporates a dynamic rotation mechanism that allows the silicone brush to rotate and simulate manual rubbing motions. The rotation component can be controlled to rotate at different speeds and directions, dynamically adapting to different cleaning needs and enhancing the manual rubbing simulation while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
