Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aerosol generating devices lack precise air intake regulation mechanisms, making it difficult for users to achieve optimal experience effects in different use modes.
Innovation Solution
An aerosol generating device with a movable air regulating assembly featuring multiple vent holes of varying sizes, allowing for accurate adjustment of air intake by aligning one vent hole with the air inlet, thereby enabling precise regulation of airflow for different use modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If stepless air regulation mechanism is used, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The air regulating assembly is segmented into multiple discrete vent holes of different sizes instead of a continuous adjustment mechanism. Each vent hole corresponds to a specific air intake amount, dividing the continuous regulation range into discrete segments that are easy to select while ensuring precise air intake control.
Solution Approach 2:
Different vent holes are designed with different local qualities (sizes) to match different use modes. The first vent hole has a larger area for mouth suction mode, while the second vent hole has a smaller area for pulmonary suction mode, optimizing air intake for each specific function.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple vent holes of different sizes are provided, then manufacturing precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple vent holes of different sizes are merged into a single air regulating assembly that can be selectively positioned. Instead of having separate mechanisms for each vent hole, all vent holes are integrated into one assembly that rotates to select different holes, simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining precise air intake control.
Solution Approach 2:
The air regulating assembly serves multiple functions by incorporating vent holes of different sizes within a single component. This multi-functional design allows one assembly to handle both mouth suction and pulmonary suction modes, reducing the number of separate components needed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If air regulating assembly is made movable, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air regulating assembly is designed to be rotatable relative to the body, transforming from a static to a dynamic structure. This rotational movement allows the assembly to adapt between different use modes by aligning different vent holes with the air inlet, providing versatility while maintaining a simple mounting structure.

AI summary
An aerosol generating device is provided by the application, and includes a body and an air regulating assembly. An airflow channel is provided in the body and includes an air inlet. The air regulating assembly is movably mounted at the air inlet, and provided with vent holes. The vent holes are different in size. The air regulating assembly is capable of moving relative to the body such that one vent hole communicates with the air inlet. The airflow channel is configured to communicate with an exterior of the body through the vent hole and the air inlet when the vent hole communicates with the air inlet.
