Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional aroma diffusers face increased assembly time and costs due to difficult and low-efficiency assembly and positioning of the amplitude adjusting device and atomizing sheet within the housing.

Innovation Solution

The aroma diffuser features a housing with an atomizing device comprising an atomizing shell, sheet, and elastic member, assembled outside the housing, which is then snap-fitted into the housing, along with an object mounting site for the aroma bottle, allowing for easy assembly and fixation, and includes a control circuit for high-frequency vibration to create nano-scale mist dispersion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the amplitude adjusting device and atomizing sheet are positioned inside the housing, then the atomization function is achieved, but assembly time and costs increase due to difficult and low-efficiency assembly and positioning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidpositioning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizing device is segmented into a separate assembly (atomizing sheet, amplitude adjusting device, and housing) that can be manufactured and assembled independently before being integrated into the main housing. This segmentation allows for specialized tooling and assembly fixtures to be used for the atomizing portion, improving assembly efficiency while reducing the complexity of positioning within the final housing assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the housing structure is made small, then the device portability is improved, but assembly becomes more difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehousing sizeVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizing components are pre-assembled into a compact unit before being integrated into the housing. This preliminary assembly allows for optimized component layout and reduced overall housing size, while the pre-prepared nature of the atomizing assembly reduces on-site assembly time despite the compact dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed is an aroma diffuser, including a housing and an atomizing device. The housing is provided with an object mounting site, an air outlet, and an atomizing mounting site. The atomizing device includes an atomizing shell, an atomizing sheet, and an atomizing elastic member. At least one atomizing hole is formed in the atomizing sheet, and the atomizing shell is provided with an atomizing snap-fit site. During assembly, the atomizing sheet, the atomizing elastic member, and the atomizing shell are assembled outside the housing to form the atomizing device. Then the entire atomizing device is inserted into the housing, and the atomizing snap-fit site is snap-fitted on the atomizing mounting site to achieve mounting and fixation of the atomizing device to the housing. A simple structure and the assembly outside the housing avoid positioning of the atomizing sheet and the atomizing elastic member with the housing.
