Solution Overview

Problem

Existing aroma diffusers suffer from structural flaws that lead to essential oil leakage, poor shockproof and airtightness, noise, and uneven mist particle size, with complex designs that are difficult to manufacture and assemble, and protruding components that hinder a flat appearance.

Innovation Solution

A novel aroma diffuser structure featuring a main frame with a motor pump, spray component, and a cylindrical shell, incorporating a detachable spray component with a push locking switch and spring mechanism, along with a silicone plug-in connector and shock-absorbing pads, allowing easy assembly and replacement of essential oil bottles while ensuring anti-dumping and low noise operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the diffuser bottle has an open outlet at the top, then the atomized aroma can be discharged directly, but essential oil leakage occurs during accidental collision and overturning, and the shockproof and airtight sound insulation effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearoma dischargeVSAvoidleak-proof performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a flexible valve structure with a valve body and valve seat that can flexibly respond to pressure changes. The valve member can deform under pressure to seal the outlet, preventing leakage while maintaining aroma discharge functionality during normal operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The valve mechanism acts as an intermediary between the atomized aroma and the external environment. It controls the flow of aroma by opening and closing the outlet based on pressure conditions, thereby preventing leakage during collision or overturning while allowing controlled discharge during normal use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Speed

If the diffuser uses a motor pump to supply air, then the essential oil can be atomized and dispersed quickly, but the device generates vibration and noise that disturbs peace

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearoma dispersion speedVSAvoidnoise and vibration
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates vibration isolation pads positioned between the motor pump and the diffuser body to cushion vibrations before they propagate. These pads absorb and dampen vibrations generated by the motor pump, reducing noise and vibration transmission to the surrounding structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration isolation pad serves as an intermediary element between the motor pump and the diffuser body. It mediates the transmission of vibrations and noise by absorbing and dampening them, thereby reducing the harmful effects while allowing the motor pump to continue operating at high speed for effective aroma dispersion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the diffuser structure has multiple components, then the functionality is enhanced, but the manufacturing and assembly process becomes complex and difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing and assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the diffuser into distinct functional modules: a diffuser body, a removable bottle, a valve assembly, and a vibration isolation system. Each module can be manufactured separately and then assembled, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining enhanced functionality through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The valve mechanism serves multiple functions: it prevents leakage during collision, controls aroma discharge during normal operation, and provides a seal for the outlet. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby simplifying the overall structure and assembly process

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

4Ease of operation

If the diffuser releases fragrance mist particles of different sizes, then the aroma disperses, but the ground near the main frame becomes wet and easily attracts dirt, causing trouble in cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearoma diffusionVSAvoidground wetness and dirt attraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the atomization parameters of the spray nozzle to produce uniform mist particle size. By controlling the atomization process, it ensures that the fragrance mist is dispersed as fine, uniform particles that do not pool on the ground, thereby preventing wetness and dirt attraction while maintaining effective aroma diffusion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
