Solution Overview

Problem

Existing aromatherapy apparatuses have complex structures and cumbersome usage operations, making them inconvenient for use.

Innovation Solution

An aromatherapy apparatus with a simplified structure featuring an outer housing, a driving inner housing, an aromatherapy bracket, and a top cover, where the driving inner housing is rotated to move the aromatherapy bracket upwards, allowing for easy diffusion of perfume into the air through a spiral clamping groove and clamping column mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the aromatherapy apparatus uses a complex pipe structure to achieve multiple functions, then the functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases and usage operations become cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The apparatus is divided into distinct functional modules: an outer housing containing a motor, an inner housing with the aromatherapy bracket, and a top cover with diffusion components. Each module performs a specific function, allowing the complex functionality to be achieved through coordinated simple parts rather than integrated complex piping

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The inner housing is nested within the outer housing, and the aromatherapy bracket is nested within the inner housing. This nested structure eliminates the need for complex external piping and connections, as components are integrated through containment rather than mechanical linkages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If the aromatherapy apparatus uses multiple usage steps to achieve proper operation, then the reliability of function execution is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction execution reliabilityVSAvoidusage convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The motor-driven rotation of the inner housing dynamically controls the exposure of the aromatherapy bracket to the external environment. This dynamic mechanism automatically manages the diffusion process through rotational motion, eliminating the need for manual multi-step operations while ensuring reliable function execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The motor automatically controls the rotation and exposure of the aromatherapy components, making the system self-regulating. The apparatus manages its own operation cycle without requiring user intervention for multiple steps, improving both ease of operation and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
