Dual-Purpose Mosquito Repeller with Level Switch
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mosquito repellers either heat a mosquito-repellent incense tablet or evaporate a mosquito-repellent liquid, resulting in a single and insufficient effect, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A dual-purpose mosquito repeller that includes both a mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit and a mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit, with a level switch to switch between different working states, allowing for the simultaneous or individual heating of either unit to produce mosquito-repellent smoke.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mosquito repeller uses only a mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit or only a mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit, then the device structure is simple, but the mosquito repellency effect is single and insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines both the mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit and the mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit into a single mosquito repeller body, allowing both units to coexist and function simultaneously within one device. This merging approach enables the device to provide both heating methods for mosquito repellency, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and effective performance by integrating multiple functional components into a unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The mosquito repeller body is designed with multi-functionality to accommodate both tablet heating and liquid evaporation modes. The device can selectively activate either the tablet heating unit or the liquid heating unit based on user needs, providing versatile mosquito repellency solutions. This universal design allows a single device to perform multiple functions that were previously required separate devices, thereby improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Reliability
If a mosquito repeller uses both mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit and mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit, then the mosquito repellency effect is enhanced, but the device structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mosquito repeller into distinct functional segments: the tablet heating unit and the liquid heating unit are separated as independent components within the repeller body. Each unit has its own heating element and operational mechanism, allowing them to function independently or simultaneously. This segmentation enables the device to achieve enhanced reliability through multiple functional pathways while managing structural complexity by organizing components into modular, distinct units with clear functional boundaries.
3Ease of operation
If a level switch is added to switch between different working states, then the operational flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a level switch that enables dynamic switching between different operational states: single tablet heating mode, single liquid heating mode, and simultaneous dual-mode operation. This dynamic control mechanism allows the device to adapt its working state based on user requirements, improving ease of operation by providing flexible mode selection. The level switch serves as a simple yet effective control element that manages the complexity of multiple operational modes without requiring complicated control circuits or interfaces.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a dual-purpose mosquito repeller for a mosquito-repellent incense tablet and a mosquito-repellent incense liquid, including: a mosquito repeller body. The mosquito repeller body includes: a mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit, configured to heat the mosquito-repellent incense tablet to produce a mosquito-repellent smoke; a mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit, configured to heat the mosquito-repellent incense liquid to produce a mosquito-repellent smoke. A level switch for switching the mosquito repeller to a different working state is disposed between the mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit and the mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit. Each level of the level switch corresponds to one working state. Each working state corresponds to an individually-powered-on working state of the mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit/the mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit, or corresponds to a simultaneously-powered-on working state of the mosquito-repellent incense tablet heating unit/the mosquito-repellent incense liquid heating unit.
