Atomizing generator and clothes treatment apparatus comprising the atomizing generator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The low integration of conventional atomizing generators in clothes treatment apparatuses leads to reduced production efficiency and yield, as the atomizing generator and circuit board need to be mounted separately and coupled through signal wires, complicating the assembly process.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing generator with a housing that includes a partition plate dividing it into an atomizing cavity and a mounting cavity, where the controller is placed in the mounting cavity and connected to the atomizing element via a control wire, improving integration and simplifying assembly by allowing pre-assembly of the controller and atomizing element before delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the atomizing generator and circuit board are mounted separately and coupled through signal wires, then the structure is simplified, but the production efficiency and yield are greatly reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the atomizing generator and circuit board into a single integrated unit. The housing contains both the atomizing element and the circuit board, with signal wires internally connected between them. This integration eliminates the need for separate mounting and external coupling, thereby simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Ease of manufacture
If the controller is integrated into the atomizing generator, then the assembly process is simplified, but the controller cooling may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is divided into distinct regions: the atomizing cavity for the atomizing element and the mounting cavity for the controller. This segmentation allows the controller to be positioned in a separate space within the housing, facilitating both integration for simplified assembly and proper thermal management through dedicated cooling pathways and airflow design.
