Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic cigarette atomizers with single heating wires have inconsistent tobacco liquid absorption and aerosol production, and are not suitable for multiple atomization cores, leading to inefficient tobacco liquid infiltration and potential burnt flavors.
Innovation Solution
An atomization assembly with a housing tube, multiple atomization cores, and a supporter with gaps for liquid inlets, where a first liquid conducting layer is wrapped around the heating element and a second layer is wrapped around the supporter to enhance tobacco liquid infiltration, ensuring consistent absorption and aerosol production.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single heating wire is used in the atomizer, then the device complexity is reduced, but the aerosol volume is insufficient and the tobacco liquid absorption consistency is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single heating wire into multiple heating wires (first heating wire and second heating wire), each wrapped with its own liquid conducting layer. This segmentation allows multiple atomization units to work in parallel, increasing the total aerosol volume while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple heating wires and liquid conducting layers into a single integrated atomizer structure, where the first and second liquid conducting layers are both wrapped around the same liquid storage chamber. This merging allows the multiple atomization units to share common resources while producing increased aerosol volume.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the fiber cotton is wrapped overly tight around the heating element, then the structural stability is improved, but the tobacco liquid infiltration efficiency becomes too low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different wrapping characteristics to different regions of the liquid conducting layer. The layer is wrapped around the heating element with controlled tightness that allows adequate tobacco liquid infiltration, while maintaining structural stability. The local quality of the wrapping (tightness, coverage) is optimized for both stability and liquid flow.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid conducting layer is designed with porous structure that allows tobacco liquid to infiltrate efficiently. The porosity and permeability of the material are optimized to balance structural integrity with liquid flow, preventing the wrapping from being overly tight while maintaining consistency.
3Ease of manufacture
If the prior art atomization core structure is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the structure cannot be applied to electronic cigarettes with multiple atomization cores
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal atomization core structure where the liquid conducting layer can be configured for single or multiple heating wires. The same basic wrapping approach and material can be applied whether using one heating wire or multiple heating wires, making the design adaptable to different configurations without changing the fundamental manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The atomization core is segmented into modular units (heating wire + liquid conducting layer) that can be replicated. This segmentation allows the same simple wrapping process to be applied multiple times to create multiple atomization cores, maintaining ease of manufacture while enabling versatility for different configurations.
4Device complexity
If a single liquid conducting layer is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the tobacco liquid absorption ratio is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple liquid conducting layers (first liquid conducting layer and second liquid conducting layer) in a nested configuration, where both layers wrap around the same liquid storage chamber and heating elements. This merging of multiple layers increases the total surface area for liquid absorption and conduction, improving the tobacco liquid absorption ratio while maintaining a relatively simple integrated structure.
