Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a vacuum is induced through a decompressor during use of the corpus cavernosum expansion device, then blood vessel dilation is achieved, but skin damage such as blisters or bleeding occurs due to excessive expansion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblood vessel dilation effectivenessVSAvoidskin damage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating different functional zones within the main body: micro cut holes in specific regions for controlled expansion, support protrusions in contact areas for structural support, and stimulation protrusions for targeted tissue stimulation. This localized functional differentiation allows effective vessel dilation while preventing excessive skin expansion and damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The main body is segmented into multiple functional components: support protrusions that prevent excessive expansion, stimulation protrusions that promote blood circulation, and micro cut holes that allow controlled deformation. This segmentation enables each component to perform its specific function, achieving vessel dilation while protecting the skin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the main body is formed of a flexible material to tightly encompass the distal body part, then close contact and effective dilation are achieved, but control over expansion degree becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedilation effectivenessVSAvoidexpansion control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamics by making the main body flexible while incorporating rigid support protrusions that limit expansion. The flexible material allows the device to conform to the body part and transmit vacuum force effectively, while the support protrusions dynamically adjust to prevent excessive expansion, providing both effectiveness and control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes physical parameters by using a flexible material with specific elasticity properties and incorporating protrusions with predetermined geometries. These parameter changes enable the device to achieve controlled expansion at specific locations while maintaining overall flexibility for effective contact and dilation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If micro cut holes are formed in the main body to allow controlled expansion, then skin damage is prevented, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin damage preventionVSAvoidmicro cut hole precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies porous materials by incorporating micro cut holes in the main body, creating a controlled porous structure. These micro holes allow the material to expand in a controlled manner, preventing skin damage while maintaining structural integrity. The porous design enables precise control over expansion characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter changes by carefully controlling the size, distribution, and pattern of micro cut holes. By adjusting these parameters, the device achieves optimal balance between preventing skin damage and maintaining manufacturing feasibility, reducing excessive precision requirements while still providing effective protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
