Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If spray-type perfume is used, then fragrance diffusion is achieved, but excessive application and misdirection occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance diffusionVSAvoidapplication control
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The applicator is designed with localized porous structures that concentrate fragrance delivery at specific points of contact with the skin, enabling precise application while maintaining diffusion. The porous applicator replaces the omnidirectional spray nozzle, allowing users to control exactly where fragrance is applied.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The porous applicator acts as an intermediary between the perfume reservoir and the skin. It absorbs and releases fragrance through its porous structure, providing controlled local application rather than direct spray contact, thus preventing excessive application and misdirection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If spray-type perfume is used, then fragrance is delivered, but skin irritation occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance deliveryVSAvoidskin irritation
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The porous applicator serves as a protective intermediary that prevents direct contact between alcohol-based perfume and skin. It absorbs the fragrance and releases it through controlled diffusion via pores, reducing skin irritation while maintaining fragrance delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The applicator is made of porous material that allows fragrance molecules to pass through while filtering out harsh alcohol content. The porous structure enables controlled release of fragrance without the direct skin contact that causes irritation in spray types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

3Ease of operation

If roll-on perfume is used, then portability is improved, but diffusion is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidfragrance diffusion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The porous applicator combines the portability of roll-on designs with enhanced diffusion capabilities. The porous structure allows fragrance to be absorbed and released through multiple pathways, creating stronger diffusion while maintaining the portable, controlled application mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the physical state of fragrance delivery from liquid roll-on to vaporized bubbles through the porous applicator. This parameter change enables stronger diffusion while maintaining portability, as the bubbles rise and disperse fragrance more effectively than liquid roll-on.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Duration of action of stationary object

If liquid perfume is used, then fragrance longevity is achieved, but consumption control is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance longevityVSAvoidconsumption control
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback control where the porous applicator automatically regulates fragrance release based on skin contact and environmental conditions. This feedback mechanism prevents excessive consumption while maintaining fragrance longevity, as the applicator releases fragrance only when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The porous applicator provides controlled consumption through its porous structure, which regulates the rate of fragrance release. The pore size and distribution control how much fragrance is released at once, preventing waste while ensuring longevity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

5Quantity of substance

If alcohol-based perfume is used, then fragrance projection is achieved, but skin irritation and inhalation risks occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefragrance projectionVSAvoidskin irritation and inhalation
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The porous applicator acts as a protective intermediary that prevents direct skin contact with alcohol-based perfume while still enabling fragrance projection. It absorbs the alcohol-containing perfume and releases fragrance through vaporization, reducing skin irritation and inhalation risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The porous applicator filters and controls the release of alcohol-based fragrance through its porous structure. It allows fragrance molecules to pass through for projection while preventing direct skin contact with concentrated alcohol, reducing irritation and inhalation hazards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials
