Atomizer Trigger Assembly Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizers suffer from unstable triggering mechanisms, leading to uneven atomization and potential accidental triggering due to vibration or shaking, resulting in inefficiency, leakage, and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A trigger assembly comprising a trigger ring and a delivery tube holder, which can switch between a locked and an unlocked position, preventing accidental triggering by ensuring the trigger ring and delivery tube holder stop each other in the locked position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a trigger mechanism is provided for atomizing and spraying liquid, then the atomizer can perform its function of atomization and spraying, but the triggering is unstable and accidental triggering occurs due to vibration or shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger ring is designed with a locking portion that proactively engages with the delivery tube holder before atomization occurs. This preliminary locking action prevents any unintended relative movement between components during vibration or shaking, eliminating accidental triggering before it can happen. The locking mechanism is pre-positioned to maintain component alignment throughout the atomization process.
2Ease of operation
If internal assemblies are not locked, then the atomizer can operate freely during atomization, but accidental slipping or vibration causes automatic triggering without human intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger assembly incorporates a dynamic locking mechanism where the locking portion on the trigger ring selectively engages with the delivery tube holder only when needed. During normal atomization, the components can move freely relative to each other, but during non-use or when subjected to vibration, the locking mechanism activates to prevent unintended triggering. This dynamic behavior allows the system to adapt between free operation and locked protection states.

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.
