Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric heating mosquito repelling devices can only utilize a single heating zone, limiting their ability to effectively combine different mosquito repelling and killing drugs at their optimal working temperatures, thereby reducing the overall efficacy of mosquito control.
Innovation Solution
A composite multi-effect mosquito prevention and control apparatus with two heating zones, each optimized for specific mosquito repelling and killing drugs, allowing simultaneous diffusion of pyrethroid and repellent agents like picaridin, ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate, and DEET at their respective optimal temperatures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single heating zone is used in electric heating mosquito repelling devices, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot maintain optimal working temperatures for multiple drugs with different temperature requirements simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The heating device is divided into multiple independent heating zones (first heating zone and second heating zone), each capable of independently controlling temperature. This segmentation allows different drugs with different optimal temperature requirements to be heated simultaneously at their respective optimal temperatures, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and drug compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
Each heating zone is designed with different temperature control characteristics tailored to specific drug requirements. The first heating zone is optimized for pyrethroid drugs while the second heating zone is optimized for repellent agents, allowing each local region to have the quality (temperature) most suitable for its specific drug.
2Ease of operation
If a single heating zone is used, then the device is easy to operate, but it can only rely on one drug to play a separate role, reducing the combined effect of multiple drugs
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the heating device into multiple zones, the system can process multiple drugs simultaneously at their optimal temperatures, thereby enhancing the overall mosquito control efficacy through combined drug effects while maintaining relatively simple operation through independent zone control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple heating zones and multiple drugs with different functions (pyrethroid for killing, repellent agents for repelling) into a single integrated device, allowing them to work simultaneously and synergistically to achieve both mosquito killing and repelling effects, thus improving overall productivity.
3Device complexity
If drugs are heated at non-optimal temperatures, then the device structure remains simple, but the drugs cannot achieve their full effectiveness in repelling and killing mosquitoes
Solution Approach 1:
The temperature control system is segmented into multiple independent zones, each capable of maintaining its own optimal temperature range. This ensures that each drug receives the precise temperature it requires for maximum effectiveness, thereby enhancing reliability without requiring a complex centralized control system.
Solution Approach 2:
Each heating zone is designed with local temperature optimization tailored to specific drug requirements, ensuring that pyrethroid and repellent agents each receive their ideal heating conditions, which maximizes their biological activity and effectiveness.
