Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional electric hair trimmers are prone to being stuck with secretions or dirt, leading to sanitation issues and potential blockages, especially in cold or dry weather, and can fail to start due to blade sticking, affecting cutting functionality.

Innovation Solution

A pair of vibrissa and eyebrow scissors with a blade separation device that allows the fixed and moveable blades to be rinsed separately, featuring a driving device and a blade separation mechanism using elastic elements to ensure the blades can be effectively separated, enhancing rinsing and preventing sticking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the fixed blade and moveable blade are kept in a laminating state for cutting, then the cutting function is maintained, but the blades become stuck with secretions and dirt leading to sanitation issues and blockages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting functionVSAvoidblade sticking and blockage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic blade separation mechanism that allows the blades to transition between a laminating state (for cutting) and a separated state (for rinsing and preventing blockage). The elastic element enables the fixed blade to be pried outward from the moveable blade, creating dynamic adaptability between cutting performance and cleanliness maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the blades are rinsed frequently to maintain sanitation, then cleanliness is improved, but the blades may become loose or misaligned affecting cutting precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesanitation and cleanlinessVSAvoidblade alignment and positioning
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic element is pre-loaded to maintain the blades in a precise laminating position during cutting operations. After rinsing, the elastic element automatically returns the fixed blade to its correct position, ensuring blade alignment is restored without requiring manual adjustment or complex positioning mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the blade separation device applies strong elastic force to separate the blades, then the separation effect is improved, but the structure becomes more complex and the elastic element may deform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblade separation effectivenessVSAvoidelastic element and supporting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The blade separation function is segmented into a dedicated elastic element mechanism that operates independently from the cutting drive mechanism. This segmentation allows the separation function to be implemented with a simple elastic element rather than a complex multi-component system, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining separation effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

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 solution enhances rinsing efficiency, prevents secretion and dirt accumulation, and ensures the blades can move freely, preventing machine failure and maintaining cutting functionality without altering the traditional usage method.

Implementation Method 1

the blade separation device has such as an elasticity that the amplitude of the fixed blade pried up by the blade separation device not only can offset the height of the moveable blade bounced up by the blade pressing sheet

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

AI summary

The disclosure provides a pair of vibrissa and eyebrow scissors having a fixed blade and a moveable blade capable of being rinsed separately. The pair of vibrissa and eyebrow scissors comprises a scissors head and a scissors body, wherein a driving device is arranged in the scissors body. The scissors head further comprises a blade separation device; the blade separation device is connected with the fixed blade or the moveable blade; and by operating the blade separation device, the fixed blade and the moveable blade that are in a laminating state are separated from each other. On the basis of the traditional vibrissa and eyebrow scissors, the disclosure is provided with a blade separation device which may separate the moveable blade from the fixed blade, so that the rinsing effect can be enhanced.
