Solution Overview

Problem

Existing perfume mixing technologies are limited by the inability to accurately control spray proportions, leading to unwanted mixtures due to contamination and inefficiencies in delivering precise fragrance combinations.

Innovation Solution

A perfume bottle with an upwardly inclined atomizing nozzle and a regulating mechanism allowing partial percentage sprays, combined with an electromechanical system for precise control of spray ratios, enabling accurate and customizable fragrance blends.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complete sprays are used to mix perfumes, then the mixture can be achieved, but the spray proportion control is imprecise and leads to unwanted mixtures

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvespray proportion controlVSAvoidperfume mixing operation

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The spray mechanism is divided into multiple controllable spray outlets, each capable of independent operation. This segmentation allows precise control over the proportion of each perfume in the mixture by selectively activating specific spray outlets, thereby achieving accurate spray proportion control while simplifying the mixing operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The spray system incorporates a regulating mechanism that dynamically adjusts the spray percentage. The head can be rotated to different positions corresponding to desired spray percentages (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%), enabling flexible and precise control over the amount of perfume dispensed from each outlet during the mixing process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple perfumes are combined to create custom blends, then fragrance customization is achieved, but contamination between perfumes occurs

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefragrance customizationVSAvoidperfume contamination

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Each perfume is assigned to a dedicated spray outlet, physically separating the perfume delivery paths. This segmentation prevents cross-contamination between different perfumes while still allowing all perfumes to be combined in the desired proportions through coordinated activation of the appropriate spray outlets.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a controlling mechanism (microcontroller, sensor system) that acts as an intermediary between the user input and the spray outlets. This intermediary coordinates the activation of different spray outlets based on the desired fragrance blend, ensuring that perfumes are dispensed in the correct proportions and sequences while preventing contamination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If spray percentage is increased to achieve desired mixture strength, then the fragrance intensity is improved, but the perfume is applied in stream form rather than spray

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefragrance intensityVSAvoidapplication form

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the physical parameters of the spray delivery by controlling the spray percentage through the regulating mechanism. By adjusting the spray percentage parameter through head rotation or electronic control, the system can deliver perfume in the appropriate spray form even at higher intensities, preventing transition to stream form while maintaining the desired fragrance intensity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A perfume bottle including a head with an atomising nozzle oriented upwards at a specific angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle and a regulating mechanism by means of which it can deliver sprays at partial percentages. It can have a manual application or form a system with the bottle located at a base to have an electromechanical application from the base, both of the individual bottle and of a set of bottles located at the same base in a circular configuration, so as to obtain a specific mixture of perfumes applied to a user or in a refill bottle.
