Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Residual materials attached to an aerosol generating device can cause damage, failure, and flavor changes in the generated aerosol, necessitating an efficient cleaning solution.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning kit for aerosol generating devices that includes a power supplier, a cleaner capable of moving while contacting the accommodation unit and heater, and a driver with a gear unit to adjust operating torque, allowing for effective removal of residual materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a general cleaning tool is used to clean the aerosol generating device, then the cleaning process is simple, but the residue cannot be completely removed
Solution Approach 1:
The aerosol generating device is designed to clean itself automatically through integrated cleaning components (brushes,刮板) that are built into the device structure, eliminating the need for external cleaning tools and ensuring complete residue removal through self-contained cleaning mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning components are merged with the aerosol generating device structure, combining the cleaning function with the main device to create an integrated system that achieves both ease of operation and reliable cleaning effectiveness
2Reliability
If high torque is applied to remove residual materials from the heater, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases due to gear unit requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The manual cleaning mechanism is replaced with an automated motor-driven system that uses electrical power to generate the necessary torque, eliminating the need for complex manual gear mechanisms while achieving effective residue removal through powered brushing and scraping actions
