Solution Overview
Problem
Electrostatic atomizing devices face issues with scaling due to high viscosity functional water solutions blocking ejection pins and poor mist ejection performance when switching between different solutions, leading to reduced deodorizing, sterilization, and freshness maintenance effects.
Innovation Solution
A disposable capsule with an ejection pin impregnated in a porous medium, sealed with a sealing member and a pressing mechanism to project the ejection pin externally, combined with a driver that applies voltage to the ejection pin for efficient mist formation, preventing scaling and solution mixing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the functional water solution has a high viscosity, then the electrostatic atomizing device can maintain solution stability and functional properties, but the ejection pin which is a porous medium becomes blocked due to scaling phenomenon
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the ejection pin from the main device body and places it inside a replaceable capsule. This allows the ejection pin to be removed and replaced along with the capsule, preventing permanent blockage of the device's fixed porous medium. The ejection pin is taken out of the stationary structure and made mobile through the capsule replacement mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a disposable capsule system where the ejection pin and functional water solution are contained together in a replaceable unit. When the ejection pin becomes blocked or the solution is depleted, the entire capsule is discarded and replaced with a fresh one, recovering the main device body for continued use without requiring cleaning or maintenance of the fixed structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the functional water solution in the container is replaced with other kind of functional water solution, then the device can provide different functional effects, but mixing with previously remained solution causes poorer mist ejection performance and reduced effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the functional water solution storage into separate, isolated capsules. Each capsule contains a specific functional water solution without contact with other solutions. This physical segmentation prevents mixing when different functional water solutions are used, allowing the device to switch between different functions (deodorizing, sterilization, freshness maintenance) while maintaining optimal mist ejection performance for each solution type.
