Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing vibrating devices are used for clitoral stimulation, then stimulation is provided, but the vaginal opening is obstructed and manual adjustment is required
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional components: a body portion containing the vibrator mechanism, and separate first and second side portions that engage with the labia. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, enabling hands-free operation while maintaining a manageable overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The vibrator mechanism is nested within the body portion, which itself is positioned between the side portions that engage with the labia. This nested arrangement allows the device to be compact while maintaining all necessary functional elements, achieving hands-free operation without excessive complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing devices are designed for fixed anatomy, then manufacturing is simplified, but adaptability to various anatomies is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The side portions are designed with specific geometric characteristics that allow them to conform to different labial anatomies. By optimizing the local geometry of these contact surfaces, the device achieves adaptability to various anatomies while maintaining a relatively simple overall manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The side portions are designed to be movable and adjustable, allowing them to adapt dynamically to different anatomical configurations. This dynamic design enables the device to accommodate various labial sizes and shapes without requiring multiple fixed-size models, balancing adaptability with manufacturing simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If the device is held in place through interference fit with labia, then hands-free operation is enabled, but the fit must accommodate anatomical variations
Solution Approach 1:
The interference fit mechanism utilizes material properties and geometric parameters that can be adjusted to accommodate anatomical variations. By carefully selecting materials with appropriate elasticity and designing side portions with optimized dimensions, the device achieves reliable hands-free operation while maintaining manufacturing precision across different user anatomies.
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
Enables hands-free, interference fit-based clitoral stimulation during sexual intercourse without obstructing the vaginal opening, accommodating various anatomies and allowing for adjustable and customizable vibration patterns, enhancing user experience and convenience.
Implementation Method 1
The first side member and second side member are configured to, in use, compress towards the center of the device due to a force exerted on the first side member and second side member by labia of the user and to exert a reactionary force on the labia and engage in an interference fit with labia of the user
Implementation Method 2
the device includes at least one vibration motor. In some implementations, the vibration motor is a pancake motor
