Adjustable Air Intake for Stable Sensor Triggering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aerosol generation apparatuses have an air intake hole size that cannot be adjusted, leading to unstable air intake volumes and difficulties in triggering the air flow sensor.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable aerosol generation apparatus is designed with a sealing base that includes an air guide hole connected to the atomization core and air intake hole, and an adjusting member that can be moved to adjust the air intake volume without requiring manual contact with the apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the air intake hole is set to be small, then the user can easily feel breathless, but if the air intake hole is large, then it is difficult to trigger the air flow sensor to enable the aerosol generation apparatus to be started
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the air intake hole adjustable rather than fixed. The adjusting member allows the air intake hole to change its opening degree dynamically, enabling it to be large when needed for breathability and small when needed for sensor triggering, thus resolving the contradiction between these two requirements
2Adaptability or versatility
If an air adjusting structure is set on a side surface of the housing, then the air intake volume can be adjusted, but a hand needs to hold a housing and easily touches the air adjusting structure, resulting in an unstable air intake volume
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dimensionality change principle by moving the air adjusting structure from the side surface to the bottom surface of the housing. This spatial relocation places the adjusting member in a position that is not easily accessible during normal use, preventing accidental touches while maintaining the ability to adjust air intake volume when deliberately needed

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 adjustable aerosol generation apparatus provides a stable air intake volume, improving user experience by allowing for precise air adjustment without compromising the apparatus's stability or ease of use.
Implementation Method 1
The atomization core is located in the liquid storage member and is configured to atomize the to-be-atomized liquid
Implementation Method 2
a liquid adsorbing cotton tube for adsorbing to-be-atomized liquid is inserted into the liquid reservoir

AI summary
The present invention relates to an adjustable aerosol generation apparatus, including a suction nozzle, a housing, a liquid storage member, an atomization core, a sealing base, an adjusting member, and a controller. The suction nozzle is connected to the housing, and the housing is provided with a receiving cavity and an air intake hole. The liquid storage member is located in the receiving cavity. The atomization core is located in the liquid storage member. The sealing base covers an end face, opposite to the suction nozzle, of an end of the liquid storage member. The adjusting member is movably disposed on a side, opposite to the liquid storage member, of the sealing base. The controller is electrically connected to the atomization core. When the adjustable aerosol generation apparatus of the present invention is used, the adjusting member is not easily touched, the air intake volume is stable.
