Perfuming Hygiene Device Framework with Removable Plastic Element
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing perfuming hygiene devices for sanitary fixtures have complex structures leading to high production costs and limited user discretion in perfume selection, with insufficient odor coverage that requires additional deodorants.
Innovation Solution
A perfuming hygiene device featuring a framework made of plastic with a removably attached element made of perfumed plastic, allowing easy assembly and replacement, which can be applied to any sanitary fixture, enabling flexible perfume selection and distribution of active chemical compounds through discharge water and volatile release into the air.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a complex structure with multiple components is used for perfuming hygiene device, then the odor coverage and deodorant effect are improved, but the production cost and device complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the perfuming function and deodorant function into a single integrated element made of perfumed plastic, rather than using separate components. This merging approach maintains effective odor coverage while significantly reducing device complexity and production costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The element made of perfumed plastic serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both a perfuming agent and a deodorant, while also serving as a structural component of the hygiene device. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for additional separate deodorant components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the perfume type is fixed at the moment of purchase, then the device structure is simplified, but the user discretion and adaptability are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the perfuming hygiene device into separable components: a framework and a removably applicable element made of perfumed plastic. This segmentation allows users to replace the perfumed element with different scented versions, providing perfume selection flexibility without complicating the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The removably applicable design allows the perfumed element to be dynamically exchanged or replaced by the user, transforming the fixed perfume selection into a flexible, user-adaptable system while maintaining simple device architecture.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If additional deodorants are installed in the room to cover odors, then the odor coverage is improved, but the device complexity and production cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates both perfuming and deodorant functions within the same element made of perfumed plastic, eliminating the need for separate additional deodorant installations in the room. This combined approach maintains effective odor coverage while reducing production costs and simplifying the overall system.
