Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual sprayers are used for sterilization, then sterilization can be performed, but labor and time consumption increase and resource waste occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesterilization efficiencyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizer is designed to automatically detect and atomize liquid without manual operation. The infrared sensor detects objects within range and automatically triggers the atomization process, eliminating the need for manual spraying operations and reducing labor and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical spraying with an automated atomization system driven by an induction motor. The mechanical system is substituted with an automated control system that includes infrared sensors, a control circuit, and an atomization mechanism, significantly improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If open fire is used for mosquito repellent, then mosquitoes can be repelled, but safety and environmental friendliness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemosquito control effectivenessVSAvoidsafety hazards and environmental pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces open fire combustion with an ultrasonic atomization system. The ultrasonic vibration generates fine mist that is dispersed into the air, achieving mosquito repellent effects without combustion, thereby eliminating safety hazards and environmental pollution associated with open fire.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes ultrasonic vibration to induce phase transition of liquid repellent from liquid state to aerosol mist state. This phase transition occurs without combustion, creating a safe and environmentally friendly mosquito repellent method that still effectively repels mosquitoes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions

3Object-affected harmful factors

If electric mosquito repellent devices are kept power-on continuously, then mosquito control is maintained, but energy consumption increases and portability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemosquito control effectivenessVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic atomization instead of continuous operation. The infrared sensor detects objects within range and triggers atomization only when needed, creating a periodic on-demand operation mode that reduces energy consumption while maintaining effective mosquito control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The device automatically detects the need for operation through infrared sensing and activates only when objects are detected within the effective range. This self-service capability eliminates continuous power consumption and enables portable use without concerns about constant energy supply.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Area of stationary object

If manual sterilization is performed, then sterilization coverage can be achieved, but labor intensity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesterilization coverage areaVSAvoidlabor intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizer automatically detects objects within its effective range using infrared sensors and initiates atomization without manual intervention. This self-service operation eliminates labor intensity while maintaining broad sterilization coverage through automatic mist dispersion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The device is designed with multi-functionality, capable of performing both sterilization and mosquito repellent functions. The atomization system can handle different liquid solutions, providing universal application that reduces the need for multiple separate devices and operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
