Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not provide a convenient method to convert a conventional spray bottle into an ozonating sprayer bottle or to make a water reservoir into an ozonating source of water, and there is a need for ionizing the water as well to produce a combination of ozonated and ionized water mist or vapor.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus comprising an ozonator element and an ionizer lead, coupled to electrical connectors within a conventional spray bottle, which, when submerged in water, generate ozonated and ionized water. This apparatus includes a power system to activate the ozonator and ionizer, ensuring a continuous supply of ozonated and ionized water.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional spray bottle is used without modification, then it provides simple water spraying function, but it cannot generate ozonated or ionized water for sanitization and cleaning purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (ozonating, ionizing, and spraying) into a single integrated device by installing an ozonating element and an ionizing element within the spray bottle structure, allowing the conventional spray bottle to generate ozonated and ionized water for multiple purposes including sanitization, cleaning, and humidification
Solution Approach 2:
The modified spray bottle serves multiple functions: it acts as a conventional spray bottle for water dispensing, an ozonator for generating ozonated water, an ionizer for producing ionized water, and a humidifier when combined with a humidification element, thereby providing universal applicability for cleaning, sanitization, and humidification needs
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional ozonizing devices are used, then they can generate ozonated water, but they do not provide convenient conversion of conventional spray bottles into ozonating sprayer bottles
Solution Approach 1:
The ozonating and ionizing components are designed as separate elements that can be independently installed within the spray bottle structure, allowing for easy conversion of conventional spray bottles without requiring complete device replacement or complex integration processes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a power supply unit as an intermediary component that connects to the ozonating and ionizing elements, enabling conventional spray bottles to be converted into multifunctional devices through a simple power connection without modifying the basic spray bottle structure
3Adaptability or versatility
If only ozonating function is added to spray bottle, then it can produce ozonated water, but it cannot ionize the water to produce combined ozonated and ionized water mist
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the ozonating function and ionizing function into a single integrated system within the spray bottle, where both the ozonating element and ionizing element operate simultaneously to produce water that is both ozonated and ionized, enhancing the water's sanitization and cleaning capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The dual-function device provides universal water treatment capability by simultaneously delivering ozonated and ionized water, which can be used for various purposes including surface sanitization, wound cleaning, and humidification, making the device adaptable to multiple application scenarios
4Adaptability or versatility
If the spray bottle is modified with ozonator and ionizer elements, then it can generate ozonated and ionized water, but it requires additional electrical connectors and power supply components
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply unit serves as an intermediary that consolidates the electrical connections for both the ozonating element and ionizing element, simplifying the overall electrical architecture by providing a single power source and control interface rather than requiring separate power connections for each component

AI summary
An apparatus that can be connected to a sprayer bottle that permits the sprayer bottle to generate ozonated and ionized water for a cleaning fluid. The apparatus includes an ozonator element submerged in the bottle water via a first electrical conductor and an ionizer lead submerged in the water via a second electrical conductor, connected to an ionizer that is not submerged. Respective apertures are formed in the bottle sidewall, each having respective electrical connectors to permit the respective electrical connections to different power sources. The dip tube of the spray head is then passed through the top opening and into the water in the bottle and the spray head is secured onto the bottle. Electrical energy is provided through the respective conductors to ozonate and ionize the water in the bottle for use a cleaning agent. Humidifier or vaporizer versions provide an ozonated and ionized water mist or vapor.
