Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If a traditional nerve stimulator is used, then the treatment function is provided, but the device has large volume and is inconvenient to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two main segments: a fixed main unit containing the circuit assembly and a detachable band with electrode pieces. This segmentation allows the main unit to be compact while the band can be adjusted or removed for portability and comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The band is designed to wrap around the wrist and nestle the electrode pieces against the skin surface. The inner band with electrodes is nested within the outer band structure, creating a compact wearable form factor that maintains treatment functionality while minimizing volume.
2Ease of operation
If a traditional nerve stimulator is used, then the treatment function is provided, but the wearing process is complex and troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The band incorporates self-adjusting features including elastic materials and automatic fastening mechanisms that allow users to put on and adjust the device without specialized guidance. The electrode pieces automatically position themselves when the band is worn.
Solution Approach 2:
The band uses elastic and flexible materials that dynamically adapt to the user's wrist size and shape. The adjustable design allows the wearing configuration to be dynamically modified by the user for optimal comfort and fit.
3Reliability
If traditional electrode pieces are used, then the stimulation function is provided, but the electrode pieces are easy to abrade due to long-term friction with the skin
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode pieces are designed as replaceable consumable components. When they become worn or abraded, they can be easily replaced by detaching the band or replacing individual electrode modules, ensuring continuous reliable treatment without compromising the main device.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows for the discarding of worn electrode pieces and recovery/reuse of the main device body. The electrode pieces are separated from the permanent main unit, enabling selective replacement of only the consumable electrode components.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional nerve stimulator is used, then the treatment function is provided, but personalized configuration cannot be achieved according to personal actual conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates adjustable parameters that can be dynamically modified by users based on their personal needs. The band size, electrode positioning, and stimulation parameters can be adapted to different users and conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed with universal applicability for different users and treatment conditions. The adjustable band fits various wrist sizes, and the stimulation parameters can be configured for different nerve stimulation requirements, making it suitable for personalized treatment without requiring multiple specialized devices.
