Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional nebulization devices require separate steps for operation, leading to inconvenience and potential liquid overflow or contamination, as they lack a seamless integration of liquid supply and power operation, and often require pre-packaging of liquids.
Innovation Solution
A rotary nebulization device with an electric connection ring, nebulization ring, and rotary ring that uses a rotation method for operation, featuring a safety ring to prevent overflow and a film breaking structure for liquid flow, along with a water sealing plate to prevent leakage, enhancing user convenience and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a slide bracket is used to cover the nebulization module, then liquid overflow is prevented, but operation convenience deteriorates due to separate switching steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the liquid supply control and power operation into a single integrated rotary ring structure. The rotary ring simultaneously controls the liquid flow path alignment and electrical connection activation, eliminating the need for separate slide bracket operations and reducing the number of steps required for device operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotary ring serves multiple functions: it acts as a liquid flow control valve, an electrical switch, and a positioning mechanism. By making the rotary ring multi-functional, the patent eliminates the need for separate components for each function, thereby simplifying operation while maintaining liquid overflow prevention.
2Quantity of substance
If the liquid container is pre-packaged, then liquid storage is improved, but operation convenience deteriorates due to contrary operation habits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic rotary ring structure that allows the liquid container to be rotated into the correct position during operation. This dynamic adjustment mechanism accommodates different user operation habits and container orientations, making the device more versatile and easier to operate while maintaining effective liquid storage.
3Ease of operation
If the liquid storage slot is always aligned with the nebulization module, then operation simplicity is improved, but liquid overflow increases due to gravity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a dynamic alignment system where the liquid storage slot is staggered with the nebulization module in the default position, preventing overflow. Upon rotation, the slot aligns with the module to enable liquid flow during operation. This dynamic reconfiguration allows the system to prevent overflow at rest while enabling simple operation during use.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device simplifies operation by aligning liquid supply with nebulization through a single rotation, preventing overflow and contamination, while ensuring easy assembly and user-friendly operation with clear indicators for precise alignment.
Implementation Method 1
The operation principle of the nebulization devices is to generate vibration energy by a piezoelectric device, and then transmit the vibration energy to a spray orifice plate through a conduction plate to nebulize a liquid passing through the spray orifice plate
