Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomization equipment struggles with incomplete atomization of liquids at the bottom of the bottle when inverted, leading to excessive liquid flow and uncontrollable atomization amounts.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing module with a liquid guide piece and atomizing sheet design that slows down liquid drop speed and controls liquid flow, featuring a buffering cavity, air inlet channel, and mist outlet, along with a sealing mechanism to prevent leakage and a blocking member to handle large droplets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the bottle is turned upside down to enable liquid flow, then liquid can reach the atomizing core, but the liquid flow speed becomes uncontrollable and atomization amount cannot be regulated
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid guide piece changes the physical parameters of liquid flow by introducing a curved path and buffering cavity, transforming the uncontrolled direct flow into a regulated flow with controlled speed and direction, enabling both liquid delivery and flow control simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid guide piece acts as an intermediary component between the liquid bottle and atomizing core, mediating the liquid flow by slowing it down and directing it properly, thus resolving the contradiction between enabling flow and controlling flow speed
2Ease of operation
If the bottle is placed upright to control liquid flow, then liquid flow is regulated, but the liquid at the bottom of the bottle cannot be fully atomized
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle is inverted (turned upside down) to enable complete liquid drainage and atomization, while the liquid guide piece provides the necessary flow control that would normally be achieved by upright positioning, thus combining the benefits of both orientations
3Device complexity
If liquid flows directly to the atomizing core, then atomization process is simple, but large droplets cause poor atomization quality
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid guide piece serves as an intermediary that breaks up large droplets into smaller ones before they reach the atomizing core, improving atomization quality without requiring complex additional structures
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid guide piece segments the liquid flow path into multiple sections (curved path, buffering cavity, guide holes), which naturally breaks up large droplets and distributes liquid more evenly, enhancing atomization quality through structural segmentation
