Solution Overview

Problem

Existing essential oil spray devices require frequent replacement of oil bottles, leading to high usage costs and complex structures with large installation spaces due to their split design.

Innovation Solution

An essential oil spray device with an integral design that allows for refilling essential oil without replacing the bottle, featuring a box assembly with a liquid storage part, a cover assembly with a spray port, and a switch assembly for controlling the atomizing member, which is magnetically connected to a hair dryer for compact installation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the essential oil bottle and housing are detachably connected (split design), then the device can be assembled and disassembled, but the structure becomes complex and the installation space increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly and disassemblyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the essential oil bottle and housing into a single integral structure, eliminating the need for detachable connections. The atomizing member is directly integrated into the bottle structure, reducing the number of separate components and simplifying the overall device architecture while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The housing structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the container housing and the essential oil storage bottle. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby simplifying the structure without compromising operational ease.

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

2Ease of operation

If the essential oil bottle and housing are detachably connected (split design), then the device can be easily assembled, but the installation space becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidinstallation space
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the bottle and housing into one integral structure, the patent eliminates the space required for connection interfaces and mounting mechanisms. This integration significantly reduces the overall installation space while maintaining ease of assembly through simplified single-piece construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Duration of action of stationary object

If the essential oil bottle is replaced when oil is used up, then continuous supply is ensured, but the usage cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous supplyVSAvoidusage cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables recovery and reuse of the essential oil bottle structure itself. Instead of discarding the entire bottle when oil is depleted, the design allows for refilling the same bottle multiple times, thereby recovering the value of the bottle structure and significantly reducing usage costs while ensuring continuous supply.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

4Device complexity

If an integral design is adopted, then the structure is simplified and installation space is reduced, but the device cannot be easily disassembled for maintenance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoiddisassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

While maintaining an integral design for simplicity, the patent incorporates segmentation at functional interfaces. The atomizing member is designed as a separable component that can be removed and replaced independently, allowing for easy maintenance and repair of critical parts without disassembling the entire integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case
