Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the sonic vibration module is moved within a preset rotation angle range, then the massage coverage and versatility are improved, but the risk of head non-contact with body increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemassage coverageVSAvoidcontinuous contact
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The head is designed with dynamic exposure adjustment capability, allowing the exposed portion to be adjusted based on the rotation angle of the sonic vibration module. This ensures that the head maintains continuous contact with the body throughout the rotation range, resolving the contradiction between movement versatility and contact reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The exposure degree of the head is changed as a parameter to adapt to different rotation angles. By adjusting the exposed portion of the head according to the rotation angle, the system maintains optimal contact conditions while providing versatile massage coverage across different body areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the head is fully exposed for maximum contact, then the vibration transmission efficiency is improved, but the device complexity and protection requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration transmissionVSAvoidhousing design
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The housing is designed to partially surround the head, exposing only the necessary portion for vibration transmission while protecting the internal components. This local exposure approach maintains effective vibration transmission to the body while avoiding the complexity of fully exposing the head or designing complex protection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Power

If the sonic vibration generator is positioned for optimal vibration generation, then the vibration strength is improved, but the noise level increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration strengthVSAvoidnoise
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The head acts as an intermediary between the sonic vibration generator and the body. It transmits the vibration generated by the sonic vibration generator to the body while the housing partially surrounding the head helps contain and direct the vibration, reducing noise propagation to the surrounding environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A human body stimulation unit and a human body stimulation device including the human body stimulation unit. A human body stimulation unit provides a sonic vibration massage to a body of a user. The sonic vibration module includes a housing, a sonic vibration generator that generates sonic vibration inside the housing, and a head connected to the sonic vibration generator and configured to transmit the generated sonic vibration to the body of the user in order for the sonic vibration massage. The housing partially surrounds the head to expose a portion of an upper portion of the head from the housing, and the exposed portion of the head is formed such that the head comes into contact with the body of the user even when the sonic vibration module is positioned at a maximum rotation angle in the preset rotation angle range.
