Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing disposable electronic cigarette atomization devices face issues such as nonuniform smoke production, tar leaking, and breathlessness due to misalignment and small hollow tubular brackets, which complicate manufacturing and affect user experience.
Innovation Solution
The atomization device features a heating element forming an angle of 10-90° with the hollow tubular bracket axis, with connection wires connecting to the battery, and a larger integral hollow tubular bracket to ensure uniform smoke production and improved heat dissipation, reducing manufacturing complexity and preventing tar leaking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the heating resistance wire is vertically arranged inside the smoke capsule to save space for twining cotton thread, then more tar-storage fiber may be twined, but the hollow tubular is easily plugged due to misalignment in assembling, leading to tar leaking and breathlessness during smoking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the heating wire arrangement from vertical (asymmetric with respect to the horizontal hollow tubular) to horizontal arrangement, creating a symmetric configuration that aligns with the hollow tubular bracket. This symmetric arrangement eliminates misalignment issues during assembly, preventing plugging while maintaining adequate space for tar-storage fiber through optimized structural design.
2Volume of moving object
If the hollow tubular bracket is separated into two vertically, then the atomization device can be compact, but the misalignment produced in assembling easily plugs the hollow tubular, causing tar leaking and breathlessness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the previously separated hollow tubular bracket into a single integrated component. This unified structure eliminates the misalignment issues that arose from assembling multiple separate parts, thereby preventing plugging while maintaining compact dimensions through optimized single-piece design.
3Quantity of substance
If the heating resistance wire is vertically set, then space is saved for twining cotton thread, but the produced heat can make the smoke capsule shell very hot at once due to poor heat dissipation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the heating wire arrangement from vertical to horizontal, creating a symmetric configuration relative to the hollow tubular bracket. This reconfiguration improves heat dissipation by distributing thermal energy more evenly across the larger surface area of the horizontal arrangement, preventing localized overheating of the smoke capsule shell while maintaining adequate space for tar-storage fiber.
4Volume of moving object
If the atomization component is vertically arranged in the hollow tubular bracket, then space is optimized, but the up-down asymmetry causes nonuniform tar guidance and nonuniform smoke production
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the vertical (asymmetric) arrangement of the atomization component into a horizontal (symmetric) arrangement within the hollow tubular bracket. This symmetric configuration ensures uniform tar guidance from all directions and consistent smoke production, while the optimized structural design maintains compact dimensions.
