Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional atomizers have integrated nozzle plates and bases, making it difficult to replace or replenish liquid without risking internal circuit damage, and are prone to electrical issues due to string-type wires used for connections.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing plug assembly that can be easily detached from the base, using a pin element for electrical connection instead of string-type wires, allowing for convenient liquid replacement and reducing the risk of electrical failures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the atomizing assembly is integrated with the base, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because liquid replenishment and component replacement become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is divided into two separable parts: a reusable base and a detachable atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly includes the nozzle plate, vibrating member, and liquid storage chamber, while the base contains the power source and control circuits. This segmentation allows users to easily detach and reattach the atomizing assembly for liquid replenishment without disassembling the entire device, thus maintaining structural stability while significantly improving ease of operation.
2Reliability
If the atomizing assembly is integrated with the base, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates because malfunctioned components cannot be easily replaced
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the atomizer into a base and a detachable atomizing assembly, the patent enables easy replacement of malfunctioned components. If the nozzle plate, vibrating member, or liquid storage chamber fails, users can simply detach the entire atomizing assembly and replace it with a new one, avoiding the need to disassemble and repair the integrated base containing the power source and circuits. This maintains system reliability while dramatically improving ease of repair.
3Device complexity
If string type wires are used for electrical connection, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability deteriorates because the wires are prone to breaking and melting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional string-type wire electrical connection with a contactless electromagnetic induction system. The base contains a coil that generates a magnetic field, which induces current in a conductor within the atomizing assembly, powering the vibrating member without physical wire connections. This eliminates the mechanical wear and fragility of string wires, significantly improving reliability while maintaining acceptable device complexity through the use of standard electromagnetic components.
