Solution Overview

Problem

Existing siphon-type airbrushes have a complex structure that increases manufacturing costs and difficulties in processing, leading to instability and low coaxiality between the nozzle and sprayer, affecting their performance.

Innovation Solution

A siphon-type airbrush design with a front handle connected to a tail handle, featuring a siphon channel, air inlet valve, and a nozzle base with threaded connections, along with sealing rings and an adjustable mechanism to ensure stability and coaxiality, simplifying the structure and processing while reducing manufacturing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the nozzle is installed at the front end of the front handle by means of a sprayer, then the airbrush can be assembled, but the structure becomes complicated and processing difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing easeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention introduces a separate nozzle base component that connects the sprayer to the front handle. This segmentation allows the complex connection to be divided into manageable parts: the nozzle base with threaded hole receives the sprayer, while its outer threaded end connects to the front handle. This modular approach simplifies the overall structure and ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the nozzle is connected with the front handle merely through the sprayer, then the structure is simpler, but the positional stability of the nozzle becomes difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositional stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The nozzle base serves as an intermediary component between the sprayer and the front handle. It provides a stable mounting platform with a threaded hole that securely receives the sprayer, ensuring the nozzle maintains its positional stability and coaxiality during operation, while the threaded connection to the front handle provides firm fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If the nozzle is connected merely through the sprayer, then fewer components are used, but the coaxiality between the nozzle and sprayer decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecoaxialityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By introducing the nozzle base as a separate component with a threaded hole for the sprayer and a threaded outer end for the front handle, the invention creates a dedicated mounting interface that ensures proper alignment and coaxiality between the nozzle and sprayer, while maintaining a reasonable structure complexity.

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 design simplifies the structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and enhances the stability and coaxiality of the nozzle and sprayer, improving the airbrush's performance and ease of use.
