Concealed Wire in Liquid Spray Pivot
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid spray devices have exposed wires that increase the risk of accidental contact or breakage and possess a complex configuration, particularly when the liquid storage unit needs to be replaced.
Innovation Solution
A concealed electric conductive structure is implemented, where a conductive pivoting mechanism between the control means and the bracket allows the wire to be hidden while maintaining electrical connectivity, using a wire recess, metal terminal, and elastic elements to ensure secure and easy assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a wire is used to connect the vibrator to the control means, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but the wire becomes exposed and increases the risk of accidental contact or breakage
Solution Approach 1:
The wire is nested within the hollow pivot structure. The pivot has a hollow interior space that accommodates the wire running through it, effectively hiding the wire inside the pivot's cavity. This nesting approach protects the wire from exposure while maintaining the electrical connection between the vibrator and control means.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivot serves as an intermediary structure that simultaneously provides mechanical rotation functionality and wire protection. By designing the pivot as a hollow structure, it acts as a mediator that conceals the wire while still allowing the bracket to rotate freely, thus solving both the safety and complexity issues.
2Ease of repair
If the liquid storage unit is made replaceable, then ease of maintenance is improved, but the wire becomes completely exposed when the housing is opened
Solution Approach 1:
The wire is nested within the hollow pivot structure, which remains part of the permanent housing. When the liquid storage unit is replaced, the wire stays concealed inside the pivot, preventing exposure even when the housing is opened for maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is segmented into replaceable (liquid storage unit) and permanent (housing with pivot) parts. The wire is associated with the permanent housing structure through the pivot, so it remains fixed and concealed during replacement of the liquid storage unit.
3Device complexity
If a conventional wire connection is used, then electrical connectivity is simple, but the configuration becomes unnecessarily complex and the wire is vulnerable to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The wire is nested within the hollow pivot, which protects it from external damage. This nested configuration maintains simple electrical connectivity while significantly improving wire durability by preventing accidental contact and breakage.
Solution Approach 2:
The hollow pivot acts as an intermediary protective structure that shields the wire. It provides a physical barrier between the wire and the external environment, enhancing wire durability without complicating the electrical connection.

AI summary
A liquid spray device with concealed electric conductive structure is used for atomizing the liquid stored therein and then spraying the atomized liquid. The device comprises a base, a controller on a front side of the base, a liquid storage container that can be separately arranged above or below the controller, a sprayer including a bracket movably pivoted on the controller, a vibrator arranged on the bracket, a liquid sucking outlet that allows the vibrator to abut against the liquid storage container, and a housing covering the base. A conductive pivoting structure is provided between the controller and the bracket, the bracket is provided with a wire recess, and a wire is provided within the wire recess, which allows one end of the wire to be electrically connected to the conductive pivoting structure, while the other end thereof is electrically connected to the vibrator. In this way, the wire is concealed within the bracket, and the electric conductive structure has dual functions of pivoting and conducting.
