Aromatherapy Device Movable Limiting Piece Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Aromatherapy devices used in vehicles experience instability and noise due to shaking during movement, which affects the user experience.
Innovation Solution
An aromatherapy device with a supporting device that includes a movable limiting piece, a rotating piece, and a transmission piece forming a linkage structure, allowing the limiting piece to protrude and abut against the placement seat to stabilize the device and retract for easy removal and replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the aromatherapy device is placed in the aromatherapy placement seat during vehicle movement, then the device can be used for aromatherapy, but the device shakes and produces noise due to vehicle movement
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting piece is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position. It can protrude to limit shaking during vehicle movement and retract when the device needs to be removed, adapting to different operational states of the aromatherapy device
Solution Approach 2:
The position parameter of the limiting piece is changed between two states: protruding from the shell to abut against the placement seat (when aromatherapy is needed), and retracted to a position that does not protrude from the shell (when removal is needed). This parameter change enables the system to transition between limiting and non-limiting states
2Stability of the object's composition
If the limiting piece protrudes to limit shaking, then stability is improved, but the device becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting device is segmented into functional components: the shell, the movable limiting piece, and the transmission mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while maintaining overall system simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission piece acts as an intermediary mechanism between the limiting piece and the shell. It translates the protrusion and retraction motions, enabling the limiting piece to change position without requiring a complex direct mounting structure
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 device remains stable in the placement seat during vehicle movement, eliminating noise from shaking and allowing for easy access for volatile piece supplementation or replacement.
Implementation Method 1
the rotating part is provided with a threaded rod, one end of the threaded rod is arranged on the rotating part, the other end of the threaded rod is arranged in the shell and installed on the bottom wall of the shell
Implementation Method 2
the transmission piece is connected with the limiting piece, and the linear motion of the transmission piece can be converted into the linear motion of the limiting piece along a radial direction of the rotating piece
