Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current disinfection systems for spaces and surfaces lack assurance of correct and complete sanitization, as they rely on single diffuser devices that cannot guarantee the accuracy or traceability of disinfection processes, potentially leading to incomplete or incorrect disinfection treatments.
Innovation Solution
A diffuser device and system equipped with a plate containing room identification data, a control unit, nebulizing means, and sensors that ensure accurate and automatic disinfection by controlling the quantity and duration of disinfectant solution dispensing, preventing misuse of incorrect substances, and providing traceability of disinfection treatments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single diffuser device is used for disinfection, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of disinfection cannot be guaranteed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback control by equipping the diffuser device with sensors that continuously monitor disinfectant concentration, temperature, and humidity levels. The control unit receives this feedback data and automatically adjusts diffusion parameters to maintain optimal disinfection conditions, thereby ensuring reliable disinfection outcomes without requiring complex manual intervention or multiple devices.
2Ease of operation
If manual operation is used for disinfection, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision of disinfection parameters deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The diffuser device is designed to automatically monitor and adjust its own operation parameters through integrated sensors and control systems. The device self-regulates disinfectant concentration, diffusion rate, and operational timing based on real-time environmental conditions, eliminating the need for manual parameter adjustment while maintaining high precision disinfection standards.
3Reliability
If the quantity of disinfectant solution is increased, then the effectiveness of disinfection is improved, but the loss of substance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit continuously monitors the quantity of disinfectant solution consumed and the actual disinfection effectiveness through sensor feedback. Based on this real-time data, the system dynamically adjusts the diffusion rate and timing to achieve optimal disinfection with minimal solution usage, preventing both under-disinfection and wasteful over-disinfection.
4Reliability
If the duration of disinfection is extended, then the reliability of disinfection is improved, but the loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses sensors to monitor disinfection progress in real-time and provides feedback to the control unit. When the target disinfection level is achieved, the system automatically terminates the diffusion process, ensuring reliable disinfection outcomes while minimizing unnecessary extension of treatment duration and associated time losses.
