Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless tattoo machines require both hands to operate due to the placement of control buttons at the top, making it inconvenient for one-handed use during tattooing.

Innovation Solution

A wireless tattoo machine design with a control circuit board and buttons integrated into the shell, allowing for one-handed operation, featuring a shell, electric motor, batteries, and a steel rod with an eccentric wheel, where the control circuit board is connected to the batteries and electric motor in series, and buttons are accessible on the side wall for finger control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If control buttons are positioned at the top of the wireless tattoo machine, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the buttons cannot be controlled with one hand during tattooing operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveone-handed control capabilityVSAvoidcontrol button arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control buttons are relocated from the top surface to the side wall of the shell, changing the spatial dimension of button placement. This allows the operator to access buttons with fingers while holding the machine in one hand, resolving the contradiction between one-handed operation capability and structural simplicity.

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

2Ease of operation

If control buttons are positioned at the top of the shell, then the device structure is compact, but fingers cannot press the buttons during operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebutton accessibilityVSAvoidshell structure configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

Buttons are moved from the top surface to the side wall, utilizing the vertical dimension of the shell. This repositioning makes buttons accessible to fingers while maintaining a compact overall device shape, solving the contradiction between button accessibility and shell structure configuration.

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

3Volume of moving object

If batteries and control circuit board are arranged in a triangular shape at the edge of the hollow pipe, then space utilization is improved and compactness is enhanced, but the structural design becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilization efficiencyVSAvoidcomponent arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The batteries and control circuit board are nested within the shell structure at the edge of the hollow pipe, arranged in a triangular configuration. This nesting approach maximizes space utilization within the available volume while integrating the components into the existing shell structure, balancing space efficiency with structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
