Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing odor presentation technologies face challenges in efficiently discharging odor-containing airflow over a wide area without causing odor leakage or fragrance deposition, particularly due to the need for a sealed system which restricts airflow and requires pinpoint targeting.
Innovation Solution
The odor presentation module includes a retention nozzle with a retention space that integrates and controls first and second airflows, allowing for wider discharge and reduced bias, featuring a design with adjustable discharge holes and a shutter mechanism to manage airflow direction and concentration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a sealed system is used to prevent odor leakage and fragrance deposition, then odor presentation reliability is improved, but airflow discharge area is restricted and must be pinpoint targeted
Solution Approach 1:
The discharge hole is divided into multiple individual holes arranged in an array rather than a single large hole. This segmentation allows the sealed system to maintain odor containment while distributing airflow across multiple discharge points, effectively increasing the overall discharge area without compromising the sealed structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a single-point discharge approach to a multi-dimensional array of discharge holes. By arranging multiple holes in spatial patterns (rows and columns), the system expands the discharge area from one dimension to two dimensions, enabling wider odor distribution while maintaining the sealed system integrity.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the discharge hole is made small to maintain sealed system, then odor leakage is prevented, but the airflow becomes thin and requires precise targeting to the user's nose
Solution Approach 1:
The single small discharge hole is segmented into multiple smaller holes arranged in an array. Each individual hole remains small enough to maintain sealed system characteristics and prevent odor leakage, while the collective array of holes provides sufficient total discharge area to cover a wider region, eliminating the need for precise targeting.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple individual discharge holes are merged into a unified array structure that functions as a single integrated discharge system. The combined effect of multiple holes creates a broader airflow distribution pattern while each hole individually maintains the sealed system benefits, achieving both odor leakage prevention and wider discharge coverage.
3Quantity of substance
If the nozzle diameter is made smaller than the fan to narrow airflow, then fragrance concentration is improved, but the airflow becomes thin and must be pinpointed to the nose
Solution Approach 1:
The single narrow airflow stream is segmented into multiple parallel airflow streams by dividing the discharge hole into multiple smaller holes. Each hole produces a narrower, more concentrated fragrance stream, while the array of holes collectively covers a wider area, maintaining both fragrance concentration and discharge coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a single narrow airflow in one dimension to a multi-dimensional array of airflow streams. By arranging multiple narrow streams in spatial patterns, the system achieves both high fragrance concentration (through narrow individual streams) and wide coverage area (through the extended array configuration).
