Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing scent releasing devices face issues with corrosive liquids damaging electrical components, poor atomization efficiency, and safety concerns due to residue and irritation from bleach or alcohol use, making them unsuitable for effective three-dimensional space cleaning and posing health risks.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing diffuser design with a small volume tank cover combined with a large volume water tank, featuring an acid and alkali-resistant oscillation device and a fan system that allows liquid addition without opening the housing, producing a non-toxic, non-irritating mist of alkaline ionized water for cleaning and sterilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large water tank is used to contain liquid, then the liquid storage capacity is improved, but the oscillation efficiency deteriorates because the oscillation device has limited power
Solution Approach 1:
The water tank is divided into two functional zones: an upper oscillation space for active atomization and a lower storage space for liquid reservoir. This segmentation allows the oscillation device to work efficiently on a smaller volume while the larger tank provides adequate storage capacity.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the spray device is filled with corrosive liquid, then the cleaning effectiveness is improved, but the reliability deteriorates because the liquid damages electrical components
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful corrosive liquid is extracted from the system by using alkaline ionized water instead. The patent specifically avoids using bleach, alcohol, or other corrosive substances, replacing them with a safe alternative that provides cleaning effectiveness without damaging electrical components.
Solution Approach 2:
Alkaline ionized water serves as an intermediary substance that provides the necessary cleaning and disinfection properties without the harmful effects of traditional corrosive liquids. It acts as a safe mediator between the need for effective cleaning and the protection of electrical components.
3Ease of operation
If the water tank outer cover is opened to replenish liquid, then the liquid can be added, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The removable water tank is nested within the housing structure, allowing it to be easily extracted and reinserted. This nested design enables convenient liquid replenishment by simply removing the tank rather than opening the entire housing, maintaining structural integrity while improving ease of operation.
4Productivity
If corrosive liquid overflows the spray device, then the liquid can be dispensed, but the safety deteriorates due to environmental pollution and harm to human body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the potential harm of liquid overflow into a benefit by using alkaline ionized water instead of corrosive liquids. Any overflow of this safe liquid provides hydration or cleaning benefits rather than environmental pollution or health hazards, thus converting a negative scenario into a positive one.

AI summary
An atomizing diffuser for gaseous environment cleaning: includes a tank cover covered in a water tank to define an oscillation space in the tank cover so as to enhance the effect of oscillating atomized liquid, a housing shield shielding the tank cover and provided with a water filling hole for allowing direct filling of liquid in the water tank and the oscillation space, and an oscillation device with the oscillator thereof coated with a layer of acid and alkali resistant coating for oscillating the alkaline ionized water and other acid-alkaline cleaning liquids in the oscillation space into gaseous cleaning mist that is outputted to the external environmental space for sterilization, cleaning, deodorization, virus elimination, or air purification, and an umbrella-shaped panel with radial ribs provided in the housing is illuminated by light to show the beauty of a paper umbrella, matching the spray effect.
