Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If integrated nerve regulation equipment is used for home treatment, then treatment convenience is improved, but the device volume and weight increase making it difficult to wear on the penis for prolonged periods
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two separate components: a lightweight stimulating component that can be worn on the penis and a separate power source unit. This segmentation allows the wearable portion to be lightweight and comfortable for prolonged use, while the power source provides necessary electrical stimulation capabilities without adding bulk to the body-worn portion.
2Device complexity
If a single-point electrode is used for nerve stimulation, then device simplicity is maintained, but nerve coverage is limited reducing therapeutic effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode system is segmented into multiple electrodes arranged in a specific pattern on the stimulating component. This allows comprehensive coverage of the dorsal nerves of the penis while maintaining a relatively simple device structure. The multi-electrode configuration ensures reliable nerve stimulation across different regions.
Solution Approach 2:
Different electrodes are positioned to target specific nerve regions with differentiated stimulation characteristics. The electrode arrangement provides localized stimulation to different areas of the dorsal nerves, optimizing therapeutic effectiveness while maintaining overall device simplicity.
3Reliability
If ultra-low frequency electrical stimulation is applied for 30 minutes per session, then nerve sensitivity reduction is achieved, but treatment time and frequency requirements increase lowering patient adherence
Solution Approach 1:
The device utilizes electrical stimulation parameters (frequency, amplitude, pulse width) that can be adjusted to achieve nerve sensitivity reduction more efficiently. By optimizing these parameters, the treatment duration can be reduced from 30 minutes to shorter sessions while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness, thereby improving patient adherence.
4Reliability
If excessive dorsal nerves are removed surgically, then premature ejaculation is treated, but the risk of loss of sexual functions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/surgical approach (nerve removal) with an electrical stimulation-based non-invasive treatment. The electrical stimulation modulates nerve excitability and sensitivity without physically removing or damaging the nerves, thereby treating premature ejaculation while preserving sexual functions such as erection and sensation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device effectively treats premature ejaculation with reduced treatment time and minimal adverse effects, maintaining normal sexual functions by inhibiting dorsal nerve excitation without nerve conduction blockade.
Implementation Method 1
The multi-frequency stimulation circuit is capable of generating electrical stimulation currents in various frequencies
Implementation Method 2
the mixed-frequency circuit controls the electrical stimulation circuit to output a mixed-frequency stimulation current

AI summary
An ejaculation control nerve regulating device comprises a main unit and a stimulating component. The main unit includes an electrical stimulation circuit and an outputting electrode electrically connected to the electrical stimulation circuit. The electrical stimulation circuit has a multi-frequency stimulation circuit and a mixed-frequency circuit electrically connected to each other. The stimulating component has a contacting electrode and a stimulating electrode electrically connected to each other. The electrical stimulation circuit outputs the mixed-frequency stimulation current to the outputting electrode via the multi-frequency stimulation circuit and the mixed-frequency circuit, and the outputting electrode contacts the contacting electrode of the stimulating component and conducts the mixed-frequency stimulation current to the stimulating component. The electrical stimulation circuit outputs the mixed-frequency stimulation current via a weighted frequency mixing control method or a time-based frequency mixing control method.
