Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If metal or pump components are used to enable fluid output during massage, then fluid output function is achieved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the fluid storage function from a separate reservoir and integrates it directly into the tooth structure itself. Each tooth becomes a self-contained fluid delivery system with internal chambers, eliminating the need for complex external pumps, valves, and fluid channels that would connect a separate reservoir to the massage surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The teeth are designed to automatically deliver fluid through their own deformation during massage. The mechanical compression of soft tissue during massage naturally compresses the tooth's internal fluid chamber, causing fluid to be expelled through the tooth tip without requiring any active pumping mechanism or external power source.
2Adaptability or versatility
If metal components are used for fluid output, then fluid delivery is enabled, but user comfort deteriorates due to hardness and hair pinching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent fundamentally changes the material parameter of the teeth from hard metal to soft, flexible material. This material parameter change allows the teeth to deform under compression, gently expelling fluid through their tips without the harsh contact that would cause skin irritation or hair pinching. The soft material conforms to the skin surface while maintaining fluid delivery capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The tooth structure combines multiple material properties: the outer surface is soft and flexible for comfort, while the internal structure maintains sufficient rigidity to contain and control fluid pressure. This composite approach allows the tooth to function as both a comfortable massage element and an effective fluid delivery mechanism.
3Adaptability or versatility
If precise processing is applied to metal teeth for fluid output, then fluid delivery precision is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the manufacturing approach by using soft materials that can be formed through molding rather than precision machining. The fluid delivery precision is achieved not through tight tolerances from metal machining, but through the inherent flexibility of the soft material that allows it to conform to pressure changes and maintain consistent fluid flow during dynamic massage movements.
Solution Approach 2:
The soft tooth structure can be manufactured using cost-effective molding processes rather than expensive precision metalworking. The simplicity of the molded structure reduces manufacturing complexity and cost, making the fluid delivery function accessible without requiring high-precision, high-cost metal components.

AI summary
A fluid outputting massager includes a fluid storage assembly and a tooth plate connected to the liquid storage assembly to define at least one liquid storage cavity. The tooth plate is arranged with a plurality of fluid outputting teeth, which are soft. A tip portion of each fluid outputting tooth has at least one fluid outputting hole communicating with the fluid storage cavity. The fluid outputting tooth can output fluid from the fluid outputting hole when being pressed.
