Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If nanometer-size mist is generated using a conventional electrostatic atomizing device, then the mist can be discharged, but the device requires frequent water replenishment and a storage tank
Solution Approach 1:
The electrostatic atomizing device automatically extracts water from the hair using electrostatic attraction and generates nanometer-size mist through electrostatic atomization, eliminating the need for manual water replenishment and storage tanks. The device serves itself by utilizing the hair's own moisture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an electrostatic field as an intermediary to transfer moisture from the hair to the atomizing electrode, then converts it to nanometer-size mist. This intermediary mechanism enables continuous operation without direct water supply
2Quantity of substance
If conventional negative ion generator is used to generate nanometer-size mist, then moisture can be given to hair temporarily, but the mist evaporates easily due to heater heat
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the mist by generating nanometer-size droplets through electrostatic atomization instead of conventional atomization. These ultra-fine droplets have different evaporation characteristics and can be delivered to hair more effectively, extending moisture retention time despite heater heat
3Quantity of substance
If conventional mist is used for hair treatment, then temporary moisture can be given, but the mist cannot retain sufficient water to increase fiber bonding inside hair
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the size parameter of water droplets to nanometer scale, creating ultra-fine mist that can penetrate hair structure more effectively. This parameter change enables the mist to reach and bond with hair fibers internally, providing sufficient water for fiber bonding enhancement
4Quantity of substance
If conventional electrostatic atomizing device is used, then nanometer-size mist can be generated, but the device size increases due to water storage tank requirement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the water storage tank from the conventional electrostatic atomizing device by implementing automatic water extraction from hair. This removal reduces device volume while maintaining nanometer-size mist generation capability
Solution Approach 2:
The device obtains water automatically from the hair itself through electrostatic attraction, eliminating the need for external water storage. This self-service approach reduces device volume while ensuring continuous operation
