Solution Overview

Problem

Current hair and scalp care products face issues with uneven delivery of active ingredients due to hair blocking, require multiple tools, and traditional devices like hair dryers and straighteners cause damage and are inconvenient or inefficient.

Innovation Solution

An atomizing comb with a main body, comb teeth, and a box containing a bottle and atomizing device that disperses liquid into tiny droplets through the comb teeth, ensuring even distribution of active ingredients from scalp to hair tips.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If spray-type products are used for hair and scalp care, then active ingredients can be delivered, but the delivery is uneven and ineffective due to hair blocking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniformity of active ingredient deliveryVSAvoideffectiveness of care solution delivery
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device segments the delivery system into three distinct components: a misting device that generates fine droplets, a comb with spaced teeth that separates hair strands, and a reservoir for the care solution. This segmentation allows the mist to penetrate through the comb teeth and reach the scalp and hair uniformly without being blocked by hair, solving the uneven delivery problem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The comb acts as an intermediary element between the misting device and the hair/scalp. By positioning the comb between these components, it serves as a mediator that distributes the mist through its teeth while simultaneously separating hair strands, ensuring uniform penetration and delivery of active ingredients to the target areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple tools are used together for hair and scalp care, then comprehensive care can be provided, but the device becomes complex and inconvenient to use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of hair and scalp careVSAvoidnumber of tools required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges three separate functions into a single integrated device: the misting device for delivering care solution, the comb for hair separation and stimulation, and the reservoir for solution storage. By combining these previously separate tools into one unit, the device provides comprehensive hair and scalp care while eliminating the need for multiple separate tools, thus reducing complexity and improving convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated device performs multiple functions simultaneously: it mists the care solution, combs and separates the hair, and delivers the active ingredients uniformly to the scalp and hair. This multi-functionality allows a single device to replace multiple specialized tools, making the system more versatile and easier to use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If traditional hair drying and straightening devices are used, then hair styling can be achieved, but they cause damage, consume high power, and are not portable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveportability and convenienceVSAvoidheat damage to hair
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention replaces the high-heat mechanical systems of traditional hair dryers and straighteners with a low-power misting mechanism. Instead of using intense heat and strong airflow, the device uses ultrasonic vibration to generate fine mist droplets that are gently deposited on the hair and scalp, eliminating heat damage while maintaining portability and ease of use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present invention discloses an atomizing comb, which belongs to the technical field of personal care, beauty and health. The atomizing comb comprises: a main body, wherein the main body is internally provided with a channel for passing mist; comb teeth, wherein the comb teeth are connected to the main body; and a box, wherein the box is removably connected to an outside of the main body, and the box comprises a bottle and an atomizing device. In the present invention, the active ingredients in the care solution effectively penetrates into the scalp, hair roots and hair tips, with particles of 5 to 10 micron in size. Finer particles will form more uniform adhesion and deeper penetration, leading to faster effectiveness. Through the process of combing the hair with the comb teeth, the hair is fully dispersed to create spaces, so that the tiny droplets can penetrate into the hair through the comb teeth, and the active ingredients in the care solution can be fully and evenly transferred from the patient's scalp and hair roots to the hair tips, solving many problems on the patient's scalp, hair follicles, hair roots and hair.
