Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional aromatherapy machines with integrated structures face difficulties in maintaining and replacing the atomizing sheet due to potential damage from environmental dust or solidified essential oil, leading to atomization failure and high maintenance costs.

Innovation Solution

A split-type microporous direct-injection aromatherapy machine design featuring a base, shell, and atomizing module connected via a mechanism that allows easy disassembly and assembly, with threaded connections, magnetic attractions, and buckle blocks for secure attachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If an integrated structure is used for the aromatherapy machine shell, then the overall appearance is unified and simple, but the atomizing sheet cannot be easily replaced when damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of replacementVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The aromatherapy machine is divided into separate modules: the shell, the atomizing module (containing the atomizing sheet), and the base. The atomizing module can be independently removed from the shell through a connecting mechanism, allowing the atomizing sheet to be replaced without affecting the overall structure or requiring professional maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the atomizing sheet is sealed in the electronic control assembly for waterproofing, then waterproof performance is improved, but maintenance becomes difficult when the atomizing sheet is damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaterproof performanceVSAvoidmaintenance difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizing module is separated from the sealed electronic control assembly while maintaining waterproof connections. The atomizing module includes its own sealing structure that allows it to be waterproof yet independently removable, resolving the conflict between sealed protection and easy maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The atomizing sheet and its supporting structure are extracted as a separate removable module from the main sealed assembly. This extraction allows the atomizing sheet to be replaced independently while the electronic control assembly remains sealed and protected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If the whole machine is sent to professional maintenance centers for atomization failure, then proper maintenance is ensured, but maintenance cost and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance qualityVSAvoidmaintenance time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The design enables users to perform maintenance themselves by simply removing the atomizing module from the shell and replacing the atomizing sheet. This self-service capability eliminates the need to send the entire machine to professional maintenance centers, reducing both time and cost while ensuring proper maintenance through clear design guidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
