Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conventional electrostatic atomization structure is used, then the device structure is simple, but the atomization effect is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The discharge electrode is divided into multiple first tip portions (e.g., five protruding tips) while the counter electrode is divided into multiple second tip portions (e.g., five corresponding tips). This segmentation increases the number of atomization sites, improving the atomization effect by creating multiple discrete spray zones rather than a single continuous spray pattern.
Solution Approach 2:
The first tip portions and second tip portions are positioned to face each other with specific spacing, creating localized high-electric-field regions at each tip pair. This local quality enhancement concentrates the electrostatic field at the tip portions rather than distributing it uniformly, thereby improving atomization efficiency at each localized site.
2Productivity
If the number of tip portions is increased, then the amount of liquid atomization is increased, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple tip portions are integrated into single electrode bodies (the first tip portions are integrated with the discharge electrode body, and the second tip portions are integrated with the counter electrode body). This merging approach allows multiple atomization sites to be achieved without proportionally increasing the number of separate components, thereby improving productivity while controlling device complexity.
3Quantity of substance
If the first diameter of the counter electrode hole is greater than the second diameter of the annular body, then more water droplets can be collected, but the manufacturing precision requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The counter electrode is designed with a hole whose first diameter is greater than the second diameter of the annular discharge electrode body. This parameter relationship (D1 > D2) ensures that the hole is sufficiently large to collect water droplets effectively while maintaining structural integrity. The specific dimensional relationship optimizes the balance between droplet collection capacity and manufacturing feasibility.
