Solution Overview

Problem

Current deodorizing compositions, despite using various substances like phenolic substances, essential oils, and aldehydes, often fail to provide effective and lasting odor elimination, necessitating a more potent solution that physically destroys malodorous molecules rather than just masking them.

Innovation Solution

The use of deodorizing compositions containing acetylenic ketones, specifically compounds with the general formula R-(CO)-C≡C-(A)-C≡C-(CO)-R', which physically break down malodorous molecules, offering a more effective and pleasant odor elimination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional deodorizing substances (phenolic substances, essential oils, aldehydes) are used, then the composition can mask odors, but the effectiveness is insufficient and odors are not physically destroyed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeodorizing effectivenessVSAvoidmalodorous molecules
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameter of the deodorizing agent from traditional phenolic substances, essential oils, and aldehydes to acetylenic ketones. This parameter change enables physical destruction of malodorous molecules through chemical reaction rather than mere masking, thereby improving deodorizing effectiveness and eliminating harmful factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful property of acetylenic ketones (reactivity that causes instability) into a beneficial effect (physical destruction of malodorous molecules). The chemical reactivity that would normally be considered a disadvantage is utilized to break down odor-causing substances, transforming harm into benefit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Reliability

If acetylenic ketones are used to physically destroy malodorous molecules, then deodorizing effectiveness is improved, but the composition complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeodorizing effectivenessVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs acetylenic ketones as a universal deodorizing agent that can destroy multiple types of malodorous molecules through a single chemical mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple different deodorizing substances, thereby simplifying the overall composition despite the advanced chemical nature of the active ingredient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If various deodorizing substances are mixed together, then odor masking is achieved, but the duration of action is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveodor maskingVSAvoiddeodorizing duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the chemical reactivity of acetylenic ketones to permanently destroy malodorous molecules rather than temporarily masking them. This conversion of masking to destruction provides lasting deodorizing effects, as the harmful molecules are eliminated rather than merely concealed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the mechanism parameter from physical masking to chemical destruction. This fundamental parameter change extends the duration of action because the deodorizing effect persists as long as the acetylenic ketone remains active, continuously destroying any malodorous molecules that come into contact with it, rather than providing only temporary masking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
