Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional spray devices require removal of the spray head cover for operation, leading to potential loss and poor user experience, and lack of a cover results in spray head pollution.

Innovation Solution

A spray device with a rotatable spray head cover that communicates with the spray head assembly, allowing for easy operation and prevention of pollution by locking when not in use, featuring a rotation mechanism and locking mechanism to ensure secure closure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a spray head cover is used in conventional spray devices, then the spray head is protected from pollution, but the cover needs to be removed for operation which leads to potential loss and poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespray head protectionVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The spray head cover is merged with the spray button function, integrating the protective cover and the actuating button into a single component. This allows the cover to remain on the device during operation, eliminating the risk of loss while enabling spray function through button pressing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The spray head cover is designed to be rotatable between a closed position (protecting the spray head) and an open position (allowing spray). This dynamic positioning allows the cover to adapt between protection mode and operation mode without being removed from the device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the spray head cover is made detachable for easy operation, then operation becomes simpler, but the cover is easy to lose

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidcover retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The spray head cover is merged with the spray button function, integrating the protective cover and the actuating button into a single component. This allows the cover to remain on the device during operation, eliminating the risk of loss while enabling spray function through button pressing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If no spray head cover is used to simplify operation, then the device is easier to use, but the spray head is easy to cause pollution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation easeVSAvoidspray head cleanliness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The spray head cover is merged with the spray button function, integrating the protective cover and the actuating button into a single component. This allows the cover to remain on the device during operation, eliminating the risk of loss while enabling spray function through button pressing.

AI summary

A spray device includes: a housing; a spray head assembly; and a spray head cover. A liquid storage cavity is provided inside the housing. The spray head assembly partially protrudes from the housing and is in communication with the liquid storage cavity, the spray head assembly including a spray nozzle. The spray head cover is rotatably arranged on the housing and covers the spray head assembly, a spray hole being provided on the spray head cover. When the spray head cover is rotated to a first position, the spray hole is correspondingly in communication with the spray head assembly, and when the spray head assembly is pressed, a liquid vaporization medium in the liquid storage cavity is configured to be sprayed from the spray hole. When the spray head cover is rotated to a second position, the spray head cover covers the spray nozzle and is locked with the housing.
