Integrated Battery Airbrush with Single-Trigger Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing airbrushes face challenges with portability, operability, and ease of use, particularly when handling high viscosity cosmetic products or those with solid powders, as they often clog nozzles and have separate modules for air supply and liquid delivery, leading to poor application states and increased complexity.
Innovation Solution
An airbrush design that integrates an air-supply module powered by a battery, allowing for portable operation, and a spray head with a single button control for both air and liquid supply, minimizing leakage and enabling easy replacement and selection of spray liquids, enhancing usability and portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a separate air-supply module is used to spray high viscosity liquids or liquids with solid powders, then the liquid can be sprayed with a mist type, but the portability of the spraying device is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the air supply unit, battery, and control switch into a single integrated handle assembly that combines with the spray gun. This merging of previously separate components (air compressor, power source, control) into one portable unit resolves the contradiction by maintaining spray functionality while significantly improving portability and ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated handle assembly serves multiple functions simultaneously: it houses the air supply unit for mist generation, contains the battery for portable power, and includes the control switch for operation. This multi-functionality allows a single portable device to perform what previously required separate equipment, resolving the portability versus spray capability contradiction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate controls are used for air supply and liquid supply, then each function can be controlled independently, but the operability of the spraying device is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the air supply control and liquid supply control into a single trigger mechanism. When the user pulls the trigger, both the air supply unit and liquid flow are activated simultaneously through integrated valve control. This merging of controls simplifies operation while maintaining the ability to independently regulate both functions through the single trigger action.
3Reliability
If multiple separate modules are used for air supply and liquid delivery, then each module can be optimized for its function, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the air supply unit, battery compartment, control switch, and connecting mechanisms into a single integrated handle assembly. This consolidation reduces the number of separate modules from multiple independent components to one unified unit, thereby reducing structural complexity while maintaining functional optimization through dedicated internal components.
Solution Approach 2:
While integrating components, the patent maintains functional segmentation through internal separation: the air supply unit remains distinct within the handle, the battery is separately housed, and the control switch operates independently. This internal segmentation allows each function to be optimized while the external structure presents a simplified single-unit design, resolving the complexity contradiction.

AI summary
Disclosed is an airbrush for spraying a spray liquid with a mist type. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a supply of a compressed air and a supply of the spray liquid can be controlled at the same time only using a spray button included in a spray head. Accordingly, a loss of the spray liquid can be minimized, the airbrush can be maintained clean, and usability of the airbrush can be enhanced.
