Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for generating far infrared rays to promote blood circulation and cellular processes often rely on inefficient conversion from sunshine or electricity, lacking effective alternatives.
Innovation Solution
A skin patch with a heat reflective foil and non-woven rayon surface infused with natural ingredients like vinegar, chitosan, loquat leaf, houttuynia cordata, vitamin C, tourmaline, and dextrin, which emits far infrared rays to enhance blood circulation and absorb toxins without requiring electricity or sunshine.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If sunshine or electricity is used to generate far infrared rays, then far infrared rays can be produced, but the conversion efficiency is low and the method is complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses natural ingredients (vinegar, chitosan, loquat leaf, houttuynia cordata, vitamin C, tourmaline, vegetable fiber, and dextrin) that naturally emit far infrared rays without requiring external energy conversion systems. The ingredients themselves serve as the far infrared source, eliminating the need for complex sunshine-to-infrared or electricity-to-infrared conversion devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical/electrical conversion systems (sunshine conversion devices, electric infrared generators) with a chemical/natural material-based solution. The natural ingredients directly emit far infrared rays through their molecular structure properties, substituting complex mechanical conversion systems with simple material placement.
2Ease of operation
If conventional far infrared generation methods are used, then blood circulation can be promoted, but the method requires electricity or sunshine which reduces portability and ease of use
Solution Approach 1:
The skin patch contains natural ingredients that autonomously generate far infrared rays without requiring external energy input. The tourmaline and other natural materials emit far infrared radiation as an inherent property, making the device completely portable and independent of electricity or sunshine sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a disposable skin patch format containing natural ingredients that emit far infrared rays during their useful life. After use, the patch is discarded, eliminating the need for recharging, resetting, or maintaining complex energy systems, thereby maximizing portability and ease of operation.
3Reliability
If a non-woven rayon surface is used for toxin absorption, then toxins can be absorbed, but the surface needs openings which may reduce structural integrity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a non-woven rayon surface with deliberately designed openings (porous structure) that enhances far infrared ray emission into the skin. The porous structure allows better contact between the natural ingredients and skin, improving toxin absorption effectiveness while the non-woven construction provides sufficient structural integrity for skin patch application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple materials (rayon, natural ingredients including tourmaline, vegetable fiber, dextrin) into a composite skin patch structure. The composite construction allows the porous rayon surface to provide both toxin absorption capability and adequate structural strength for practical use.

Function Achieved in This Case
The patch effectively promotes blood circulation and absorbs toxins, including heavy metals, through far infrared emission, demonstrated by reduced heavy metal detection in used patches compared to new ones, indicating efficient toxin absorption and improved circulation without electrical devices.
Implementation Method 1
A mixture of natural ingredients including vinegar, chitosan, loquat leaf, houttuynia cordata, vitamin C, tourmaline, vegetable fiber, and dextrin. The mixture is formulated to emit the far infrared emission, whereby blood circulation is promoted
Implementation Method 2
The skin patch includes a first side having a heat reflective foil
Implementation Method 3
A second side includes a non-woven rayon surface for absorbing the toxins

AI summary
A skin patch for absorbing toxins from a body includes a first side having a heat reflective foil. A second side includes a non-woven rayon surface for absorbing the toxins. The rayon surface includes a plurality of openings for enhancing far infrared ray emission into a skin when the second side is placed in contact with the skin. A mixture of natural ingredients includes vinegar, chitosan, loquat leaf, houttuynia cordata, vitamin C, tourmaline, vegetable fiber, and dextrin. The mixture is formulated to emit the far infrared emission, whereby blood circulation is promoted and perspiration and any toxins contained therein are absorbed by the rayon surface.
