Solution Overview
Problem
Existing discharge devices for pharmaceutical or cosmetic substances fail to effectively atomize flowable substances during administration, leading to inadequate delivery methods.
Innovation Solution
The discharge device incorporates an atomizing device with a nozzle and a deflecting element that transports the substance eccentrically to the nozzle, enhancing atomization, and includes a reduction rod to minimize residue, allowing for improved atomization and efficient delivery of drugs or vaccines, particularly suitable for nasal administration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a simple discharge opening is used, then the device structure is simple, but the substance cannot be discharged in atomized form
Solution Approach 1:
The discharge device is segmented into distinct functional zones: a reservoir for storing the flowable substance, a pump mechanism for controlled dispensing, and an atomizing device with multiple nozzles for fine dispersion. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, achieving high atomization quality without excessive overall complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from simple linear flow to three-dimensional atomization by introducing an atomizing device with multiple nozzles arranged in specific spatial configurations. This dimensional transformation converts a single-stream discharge into a multi-directional atomized spray, significantly improving dispersion quality
2Manufacturing precision
If a deflecting element transports substance eccentrically to the nozzle, then atomization is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A deflecting element is introduced that intentionally creates asymmetric, eccentric flow paths within the atomizing device. The substance is guided to enter the nozzle at offset positions rather than centrally, creating turbulent mixing and enhanced atomization. This asymmetric design improves atomization quality while maintaining manageable structural complexity through geometric optimization
3Productivity
If a reduction rod is added to minimize residue, then delivery efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A reduction rod is extracted as a separate, removable component within the atomizing device. This rod can be independently adjusted or removed to optimize residue reduction without affecting the main structural integrity. The extraction principle allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, improving delivery efficiency while keeping the overall device design modular and not excessively complex
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device achieves improved atomization properties, ensuring effective and residue-free delivery of substances, facilitating precise dosing and administration, especially for single- or multi-component systems.
Implementation Method 1
the deflecting element acts as a guiding device in such a manner that the flowable substance is transported to the nozzle in a radially outward offset manner with regard to the axis of the nozzle
Implementation Method 2
the atomizing device comprises a nozzle, which is arranged downstream of an atomizing chamber, in which a deflecting element is arranged so that a flowable substance is discharged in atomized form via the nozzle

AI summary
A discharge device for a flowable substance includes at least one storage element having at least one reception chamber for a flowable substance. A carrier body including a discharge opening is provided with a pin having an axial channel and a transverse channel branching off from the axial channel. The storage element is guided on an outer side of the carrier body via at least one annular sealing lip. Discharge of the flowable substance is effected by sliding the storage element onto the pin so that the sealing lip skims over the transverse channel of the cylindrical pin and the cylindrical pin urges the flowable substance out of the reception chamber via the transverse and axial channels. In the area of the discharge opening, the carrier body includes an atomizing device that discharges the flowable substance in atomized form by a sliding of the storage element.
