Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional atomizing devices face instability due to liquid condensation on conveyer pipe walls, which affects the atomization process and contaminates the atomized liquid application apparatus.

Innovation Solution

An atomizing system with a two-tank configuration where the liquid and gas mix to produce atomized liquid, with a delivery device guiding the atomized liquid to the application apparatus while redirecting condensed liquid back to the first treatment tank, and an overflow system to manage excess liquid, preventing reflow into the atomization process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If high-pressure gas is directly guided into the space where liquid is stored, then atomized liquid can be produced, but liquid condenses on the conveyer pipe wall and reflows into the atomizer device, affecting stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomized liquid productionVSAvoidatomization process stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the treatment process into two separate tanks: first treatment tank for liquid pre-treatment and second treatment tank for atomization. This segmentation prevents condensed liquid from the atomization process from directly reflowing into the atomizer device, thereby maintaining process stability while ensuring continuous atomized liquid production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The conveyer pipe acts as an intermediary component with a specific structure that prevents condensed liquid from reflowing into the atomizer device. The pipe design includes features that allow atomized liquid to pass through while blocking condensed liquid from returning to the atomization chamber, thus resolving the stability issue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If condensed liquid on pipe wall is allowed to flow, then it can be managed, but it may be guided by high-pressure gas into the atomized liquid application apparatus, affecting contents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecondensed liquid contaminationVSAvoidapplication apparatus content integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts condensed liquid from the atomized liquid stream using the conveyer pipe design. The pipe structure separates condensed liquid (which flows back to the first treatment tank) from atomized liquid (which continues to the application apparatus), preventing contamination while managing condensed liquid effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system converts the harmful effect of condensed liquid into a beneficial process by directing it back to the first treatment tank for reuse. This transforms waste condensed liquid into a resource that can be re-atomized, preventing contamination while improving overall system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

AI summary

An atomizing system is provided to connect a liquid supply zone and a gas supply zone. In the atomizing system, a first pipeline is connected between the liquid supply zone and a first treatment tank, a second pipeline is connected between the first treatment tank and a second treatment tank, a third pipeline is connected between the gas supply zone and the second treatment tank. The end of each of the nozzles is connected to the other end of the third pipeline. The liquid supplied from the liquid supply zone is flowed into the second treatment tank through the second pipeline, the gas supplied from the gas supply zone is flowed into the second treatment tank through the nozzles, so that the liquid contacts the gas in the second treatment tank to produce the atomized liquid.
