Multifunctional Cold Spray Machine for Automated Environmental Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air treatment machines for deinsecting, disinfection, and deodorizing are manual, non-automatic, and limited in range and duration, requiring toxic chemical compounds that pose health risks and contribute to pollution, with large tanks consuming chemicals quickly and restricting use to short periods.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional spray machine capable of automatic and independent operation using 'coldspraying' and 'coldfogging' techniques, with a programmable electronic device and a twin-function spray nozzle, allowing for macro- and micro-spray settings to treat up to 1,000 square meters for 60 days with a single 800ml reload, using a polypropylene tank and a two-setting switching valve.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If manual machines with large tanks are used for deinsecting and disinfection, then the chemical compounds can be dosed in focused form, but the machines require toxic chemicals that are harmful to humans and cause atmospheric pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling a single machine to perform multiple functions: deinsecting, disinfection, deodorising, and odorising. The spray machine can switch between different modes (macro-spray and micro-spray) and treat different areas (up to 1,000 square meters) using the same basic device, eliminating the need for multiple specialized machines and reducing reliance on toxic chemicals.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by altering the operational parameters of the spray machine to achieve different treatment modes. The machine can change between macro-spray and micro-spray settings, adjust spray patterns, and modify dosing parameters to treat different areas and applications, thereby reducing chemical consumption and expanding functional versatility.
2Duration of action of moving object
If manual machines with large tanks are used, then chemical compounds can be stored in bulk, but the consumption of chemical compounds is high and limits the range of use to short periods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuity of useful action through automatic operation. The machine can operate autonomously for extended periods (up to 60 days with a single 800ml reload) without requiring manual intervention, maintaining continuous treatment effectiveness while reducing overall chemical consumption through precise automated dosing control.
Solution Approach 2:
The machine performs self-service through automatic operation and self-regulating dosing. The programmable electronic device automatically controls the spray cycles, timing, and chemical dispensing, eliminating the need for manual monitoring and adjustment. This self-service capability allows the machine to operate continuously for extended periods while optimizing chemical usage efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If manual machines are used for shock treatments, then focused dosing can be achieved, but the area to be treated must be evacuated completely and qualified technical personnel must be present
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the machine to operate autonomously without requiring qualified technical personnel presence. The programmable electronic device automatically controls all operations including chemical dosing, spray timing, and cycle management. The machine can be left to operate independently in the treated area, eliminating the need for continuous human supervision and safety evacuations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operation with automated electronic control. The programmable electronic device substitutes for human decision-making and manual control, automatically managing the spray cycles, chemical dispensing, and timing parameters. This electronic automation eliminates the need for qualified personnel to be present during operation while maintaining precise dosing control.
4Adaptability or versatility
If machines designed for one function only are used, then specific chemical compounds can be dosed effectively, but the range of use is limited to a few hours
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by designing a single machine that can perform multiple functions: deinsecting, disinfection, deodorising, and odorising. The machine can switch between different treatment modes and treat various areas (up to 1,000 square meters) using the same device, expanding functional versatility while maintaining extended operational range of up to 60 days with a single reload.
