Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple keys are used to control different functions, then each function can be controlled independently, but the device complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction controlVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multifunctional control key that can perform multiple operations including power on/off, mode switching, timing control, and light adjustment. This single key replaces what would traditionally require multiple separate keys, thereby maintaining full functional control while significantly improving ease of operation and reducing device complexity

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple keys are used to control different functions, then each function can be controlled independently, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction controlVSAvoidcontrol structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system uses a single multifunctional key integrated with an MCU main control module that can识别 and execute multiple different operations. This approach maintains the ability to control various functions (atomization, lighting, timing) while simplifying the control structure by eliminating the need for multiple separate keys and their associated control circuits

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If lighting function is added to aromatherapy machine, then aesthetic effect and mood mediation are improved, but impact on human sleep occurs due to inability to adjust brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting functionVSAvoidsleep impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic light control by integrating brightness adjustment capability into the multifunctional key system. Users can dynamically adjust the lighting brightness to different levels and select various lighting modes, allowing the lighting intensity to adapt to different usage scenarios including nighttime use, thereby eliminating the harmful effect of fixed brightness on sleep while maintaining the aesthetic and mood benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
