Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If a single ceramic core with one heating element is used, then the device structure is simple, but the thermal utilization rate is low and vapor production is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevapor production capabilityVSAvoidheating element configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating element is divided into multiple independent heating coils (first heating coil, second heating coil, third heating coil) that can be independently controlled. Each heating coil corresponds to a specific heating area on the ceramic core, allowing segmented heating zones that improve thermal utilization efficiency while enabling higher overall vapor production capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a vertical dimension to heat transfer by adding a heat conduction plate beneath the ceramic core that conducts heat to a heating chamber below. This creates a multi-layer heating structure where heat is transferred from the ceramic core through the heat conduction plate to the heating chamber, adding a new dimension to the heating process that improves thermal utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of energy

If smoke material is directly placed on the heating element, then the structure is simple, but the thermal utilization rate is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal utilization rateVSAvoidheating structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A heat conduction plate is introduced as an intermediary component between the ceramic core and the heating chamber. This plate conducts heat from the ceramic core to the heating chamber below, creating an intermediate heat transfer path that improves thermal utilization by capturing and redirecting heat that would otherwise be lost, thereby reducing energy loss without significantly complicating the structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The ceramic core is designed with porous characteristics that allow for efficient heat distribution and material vaporization. The porous structure increases the surface area for heat transfer and improves the interaction between the heating element and smoke material, enhancing thermal utilization efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials
