Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the induction electrode is not properly fixed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the uniformity of the electric field deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder kit integrates multiple functions into a single component: it holds both the discharge electrode and induction electrode, provides fixation through integrated grooves and ribs, and ensures proper spacing. This merging eliminates the need for separate fixation structures for each electrode, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining electric field uniformity through the integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder kit acts as an intermediary component between the circuit board and the electrodes. It provides a standardized interface with insertion grooves that guide electrode placement and fixation ribs that secure the electrodes without requiring complex direct mounting structures. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall assembly while ensuring stable electrode positioning for uniform electric field generation.
2Ease of manufacture
If the induction electrode is not properly fixed, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability of ion generation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder kit is pre-formed with insertion grooves and fixation ribs during manufacturing. These features are built into the holder structure before assembly, eliminating the need for complex post-assembly fixation operations. The electrodes are designed to fit into these pre-prepared structures, making the assembly process simple and reliable while ensuring consistent electrode positioning for stable ion generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder kit combines multiple fixation functions into a single integrated component that secures both electrodes simultaneously. This merging of fixation functions into one piece reduces the number of assembly steps and potential error sources, improving both manufacturing ease and the reliability of electrode positioning for consistent ion generation performance.
3Productivity
If the electrode arrangement is changed to improve ion emission efficiency, then the ion generation efficiency is improved, but the uniformity of the electric field deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder kit provides different local structures for different electrodes: the discharge electrode holder portion has an insertion groove for positioning the discharge electrode, while the induction electrode holder portion has a separate insertion groove for the induction electrode. These localized structural variations allow each electrode to be optimally positioned for its specific function while maintaining overall electric field uniformity through the integrated holder design.

AI summary
An ion generator includes a circuit board through which a high voltage flows; a high-voltage electrode to which a high voltage is applied through contact with the circuit; a ground electrode grounded through contact with the circuit and spaced apart from the high-voltage electrode; and a holder kit in which a first insertion groove, into which the high-voltage electrode is inserted, and a second insertion groove, which is spaced apart from the first insertion groove and into which the ground electrode is inserted, are formed in the vertical direction, and thus a stable uniform electric field can be continuously formed through the integration of the high-voltage electrode and the ground electrode by using the holder kit, so that the lifespan of an electrode can be improved and the occurrence of discharge noise can be suppressed.
