Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fragrance devices struggle to meet the diverse needs of users for atomization amount and particle size at a lower cost, as they often require adjustments to the internal structure to achieve desired atomization parameters.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing head baffle with a first and second baffle plate, featuring through-holes and air holes, is introduced to adjust atomization amount and particle size by varying the number and size of these holes without altering the device's internal structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the atomization particle size is reduced to increase diffusion range and air improvement effect, then the diffusion range and air improvement effect are improved, but the device complexity increases due to requirements for precise internal structure adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The baffle is divided into multiple plates (first baffle plate, second baffle plate, third baffle plate) with each plate containing multiple through-holes of different sizes and distributions. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each plate's hole configuration to control atomization particle size without requiring complex internal structure adjustments in the atomizer core.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a new dimensional approach by using multiple baffle plates stacked in sequence, creating a multi-layer hole distribution system. This adds a spatial dimension (depth/layering) to the hole arrangement, enabling precise control of atomization characteristics through the combined effect of multiple plates rather than relying solely on single-plane structural adjustments.
2Productivity
If the atomization amount is increased to improve air improvement effect, then the air improvement effect is improved, but the device complexity increases due to structural modifications required
Solution Approach 1:
The atomization process is segmented across multiple baffle plates, each contributing to the overall atomization amount. The first baffle plate with larger through-holes provides primary atomization volume, while subsequent plates with smaller holes refine the distribution. This segmentation allows high atomization amount to be achieved through cumulative effect of multiple simple plates rather than complex internal structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention controls atomization amount by changing geometric parameters of the through-holes (diameter, distribution density, plate spacing) rather than modifying the fundamental internal structure. By adjusting hole diameters from larger in the first plate to smaller in subsequent plates, and controlling the number of holes per plate, the atomization amount is precisely controlled through parameter optimization.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the atomization particle size is reduced to prevent essential oil deposition on the device surface, then the deposition problem is reduced, but the manufacturing cost increases due to precise structural requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The baffle system segments the atomization process into multiple stages across different plates, with each plate handling a portion of the fragrance vapor. This prevents concentrated essential oil deposition on any single surface by distributing the condensation load across multiple plates and their through-holes, reducing deposition issues without requiring expensive materials or complex anti-fouling structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The baffle plates function as porous structures with controlled through-holes that allow fragrance vapor to pass through while preventing liquid essential oil from contacting the device surface. The porous nature of the stacked baffle system with varying hole sizes creates a gradient that facilitates vapor transmission while blocking liquid deposition, solving the deposition problem through simple geometric design rather than expensive coatings or materials.

AI summary
An atomizing head baffle includes a first baffle plate and a second baffle plate. A cover plate is disposed on a top of the first baffle plate. The first baffle plate defines first through-holes spaced along a circumferential direction of the first baffle plate. The second baffle plate defines second through-holes spaced along a circumferential direction of the second baffle plate. The second baffle plate is sleeved around an outer periphery of the first baffle plate, thereby reducing areas of the second through-holes to form air holes, and the air holes and the first through-holes are configured to pass through atomized particles. By changing numbers and/or sizes of the first through-holes and the air holes, an atomization amount and an atomization particle size can be changed to meet needs of users without changing other structural parameters or affecting other internal components. This is relatively simple and low cost.
