Innovation Solution
A portable, compact, and automatic ozonized liquid generator device with a control system for precise ozone dilution, capable of using various liquids, featuring a recirculating pump for accurate ozone measurement, a drier between the oxygen source and ozone generator, and a photometric ozone sensor for hygiene and precision, allowing autonomous operation and easy connection to other devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a portable and compact ozonized liquid generator is designed, then portability and ease of operation are improved, but precise control of ozone concentration and stability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates a photometric ozone sensor that continuously monitors the ozone concentration in the liquid and provides feedback to the control system. This feedback mechanism allows the microprocessor to adjust the ozone generation and liquid pumping rates in real-time, maintaining precise and stable ozone concentration levels despite the portable design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically regulates its own operation through the microprocessor-controlled feedback loop. The device self-adjusts the ozone generation rate and liquid circulation based on real-time concentration measurements, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining precision in the portable format.
2Measurement precision
If a photometric ozone sensor and recirculating pump are used, then measurement precision and hygiene are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional contact-based ozone measurement methods with a photometric sensor that uses light absorption principles. This non-contact optical measurement system improves hygiene by avoiding contamination while maintaining high measurement precision, and the integrated control system manages the added complexity automatically.
3Reliability
If autonomous operation with continuous monitoring is implemented, then reliability and stability of ozone levels are improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic monitoring and adjustment cycles rather than continuous high-power operation. The microprocessor controls the recirculating pump and ozone generation in regulated intervals, maintaining stable ozone levels while reducing overall energy consumption compared to continuous full-power operation.
