Atomizer Trigger Assembly with Multi-Position Unlocking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizers are prone to misoperation, leading to instability and potential damage, especially when multiple operation steps are required.
Innovation Solution
A trigger assembly with multiple unlocking modes is introduced, featuring a trigger ring and a delivery tube holder that can switch between locked and unlocked positions via an actuation member, preventing misoperation and enhancing user-friendliness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple operation steps are required to actuate the atomizer, then the atomizer can be controlled to spray, but the user is prone to misoperation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple operation steps into a single integrated trigger assembly. The trigger ring integrates both rotation and pressing functions, allowing the user to complete multiple operations (rotation to unlock + pressing to activate) through one continuous action rather than separate steps, thereby reducing misoperation while maintaining controlled spraying
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger assembly employs dynamic unlocking modes where the trigger ring can rotate to different positions (first unlocking mode and second unlocking mode) before pressing. This dynamic multi-position design provides flexibility in operation while ensuring proper sequence, preventing misoperation through mechanical guidance rather than requiring the user to remember fixed steps
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single unlocking mode is provided, then the structure is simple, but the atomizer is prone to misoperation
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger ring is segmented into multiple functional positions: a locked position, a first unlocking position, and a second unlocking position. Each position corresponds to a specific function (locking, first unlocking mode, second unlocking mode), allowing the same component to provide multiple unlocking modes through spatial segmentation rather than requiring separate components for each mode
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger ring serves multiple functions: it acts as both the locking mechanism and the actuation trigger, and it provides multiple unlocking modes (first and second unlocking modes) depending on its rotational position. This multi-functionality allows a single component to replace what would traditionally require multiple separate mechanisms, maintaining structural simplicity while providing versatility

AI summary
Provided is a trigger assembly for an atomizer and an atomizer that includes the trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a trigger ring and a delivery tube holder. The trigger assembly has a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the trigger ring stops axial movement of the delivery tube holder, and in the unlocked position, the delivery tube holder can move in an axial direction relative to the trigger ring. The trigger assembly further includes an actuation member. The actuation member is actuated to drive the delivery tube holder to pivot and drive the trigger ring to move, so that the trigger assembly is switched between the locked position and the unlocked position.
