Liftable Aroma Diffuser With Sliding Fragrance Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aroma diffusers have a single diffusion mode with limited fragrance release speed from a single opening, which cannot be increased.
Innovation Solution
A liftable aroma diffuser with a sliding mechanism and drive assembly that allows the fragrance storage element to change between a received state and extended states, enabling controlled release of fragrance through multiple air outlets, enhancing release speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the fragrance is released from a single opening, then the device structure is simple, but the fragrance release speed is limited and cannot be increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single opening into multiple openings (first opening and second opening) on the shell assembly. The lifting mechanism can selectively extend through either opening or both, creating multiple fragrance release paths simultaneously, thereby increasing the overall fragrance release speed while maintaining relatively simple structural design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a liftable mechanism that can dynamically change the state of the fragrance storage element between extended and retracted positions. This dynamic structure allows the device to switch between different release modes (single opening or dual openings) based on user needs, enabling flexible control of fragrance release speed without permanently complicating the structure
2Productivity
If the lifting mechanism is extended to increase fragrance release speed, then the release efficiency improves, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the lifting mechanism with the existing shell assembly and drive assembly in an integrated manner. The lifting main body is slidably connected to the shell assembly, and the drive assembly is arranged on the shell assembly to drive the lifting mechanism. This merging approach allows the additional functionality to be achieved while sharing common structural elements, thereby reducing overall complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The lifting mechanism serves multiple functions: it controls the extension of the fragrance storage element, manages the opening/closing of fragrance release paths, and works cooperatively with the drive assembly for automated operation. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby improving release efficiency without proportionally increasing structural complexity
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
The liftable aroma diffuser allows users to control the fragrance release speed by switching between states, increasing the fragrance release efficiency through multiple air outlets when extended.
Implementation Method 1
a motor main body and a gear wheel; the motor main body is received in the drive housing, the gear wheel is sleeved on an output shaft of the motor main body
Implementation Method 2
the transmission structure includes a rack arranged along a lifting direction, the drive assembly further includes a drive housing, a motor main body and a gear wheel; the gear wheel is sleeved on an output shaft of the motor main body and is engaged with the rack
Implementation Method 3
a first fan arranged in the storage space and located at a bottom of the inner shell main body, the inner shell main body and the outer shell enclose a first air passage, and one end of the first air passage corresponds to the first fan while the other end of the first air passage is configured to communicate with a part of the air holes

AI summary
A liftable aroma diffuser includes a shell assembly having a storage space and a first opening communicated with the storage space; a lifting mechanism slidably connected to the shell assembly and including a lifting main body and a fragrance storage element arranged on the lifting main body and configured to bear a fragrance element; and a drive assembly arranged on the shell assembly and connected to the lifting main body and configured to drive the lifting mechanism to slide relative to the shell assembly. The lifting mechanism is able to change between a first received state of being received in the storage space and a first extended state of at least partially extending out of the storage space from the first opening.
