Solution Overview

Problem

Current sensual and fertility aids are limited by their reliance on battery power, lack of portability, and inefficiency in delivering heat to the reproductive organs, which affects their effectiveness in enhancing fertility and rehabilitation from vaginal trauma.

Innovation Solution

A cylindrical, rechargeable device with a vibrating, infrared, or ultrasound core and a liquid-filled pocket containing food-grade sodium acetate trihydrate, which hardens and releases exothermic heat, combined with a pliable textured sheath for customizable sensation, and induction charging for power, allowing for use without external power sources and reduced environmental impact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If battery-powered vibrators are used, then vibration function is provided, but portability and reliability deteriorate when batteries run low or are unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidoperational reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device uses a rechargeable battery with an integrated induction charging base, allowing the device to recharge itself automatically when placed on the base. This self-service charging mechanism eliminates the need for manual battery replacement and ensures continuous operation without external power sources, resolving the contradiction between portability and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Temperature

If conventional heating pads are used, then heat is provided, but effectiveness in delivering heat to reproductive organs deteriorates due to distance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat deliveryVSAvoidfertility treatment effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention transitions from external surface heating to internal three-dimensional heating by inserting the device into the vagina. The heating element is positioned internally close to the reproductive organs, and the viscous liquid medium distributes heat uniformly throughout the internal space, enabling effective heat delivery to the target organs and resolving the contradiction between temperature delivery and treatment effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Temperature

If sodium acetate trihydrate is used for heating, then exothermic heat is released, but the heating duration is limited by the chemical reaction time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat generationVSAvoidheating duration
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The device utilizes the phase transition of sodium acetate trihydrate from liquid to solid crystalline state, which releases exothermic heat. The reaction is initiated by bending a paperclip to touch the bottom of the container, causing the liquid to rapidly crystallize and generate heat. This phase transition mechanism provides sustained heat generation that extends the heating duration beyond conventional methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions

4Reliability

If a sealed liquid-filled pocket is used, then safety and hygiene are improved, but the ability to recharge the heating element deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety and hygieneVSAvoidrechargeability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separable components: a sealed outer container holding the viscous liquid and heating element, and a removable inner container that can be taken out for recharging. This segmentation allows the heating element to be recharged by removing it from the sealed container, maintaining both safety/hygiene during use and rechargeability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

5Stability of the object's composition

If vibration is added to the hardening salt crystals, then malleability similar to organic substance is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemalleabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A vibration motor is integrated into the device to generate mechanical vibrations that prevent the sodium acetate trihydrate crystals from becoming completely rigid. The vibration keeps the crystallized material malleable and pliable, similar to organic tissue, while maintaining the exothermic heating function. This addition of mechanical vibration resolves the contradiction between achieving organic-like malleability and maintaining simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration
