Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional cleaning solutions require multiple storage reservoirs for different cleaning tasks, which can be space-consuming and inconvenient for users.

Innovation Solution

Concentrated cleaning capsules and an atomizer system that allows for multiple cleaning solutions to be stored in a single capsule, which can be diluted and dispensed through a single atomizer, eliminating the need for multiple storage reservoirs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple separate reservoirs are used to store different cleaning solutions, then each cleaning solution can be stored separately, but storage space requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevarious cleaning solutionsVSAvoidstorage space

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate cleaning solution reservoirs into a single integrated atomizer device. The atomizer contains multiple chambers or compartments that can hold different concentrated cleaning solutions, eliminating the need for multiple separate storage reservoirs while maintaining the ability to store various cleaning solutions simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The atomizer is designed as a multi-functional device that can store and dispense multiple different types of cleaning solutions through a single unit. The device incorporates multiple nozzles or dispensing mechanisms that correspond to different cleaning solution types, allowing one device to perform the function of multiple separate reservoirs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Volume of stationary object

If concentrated cleaning solution is stored in a capsule, then storage space is reduced, but the mechanism to open and dispense the capsule becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestorage spaceVSAvoidcapsule opening and dispensing mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Volume of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capsule is nested within the atomizer housing, with the capsule opening mechanism integrated into the atomizer structure. The puncture pins and dispensing components are contained within the atomizer body, creating a compact nested arrangement that reduces overall device complexity while maintaining functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The capsule opening mechanism is designed to be automatically activated when the atomizer is assembled or operated. Puncture pins automatically pierce the capsule seal upon insertion, and the dispensing system automatically transfers the concentrated solution to the atomizer chamber, reducing the need for complex manual operation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service
