Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the atomizer atomizes aerosol-generating substrate, then aerosol is generated, but negative pressure is generated causing obstructed liquid flow and burnt flavor
Solution Approach 1:
A balance hole is introduced as an intermediary structure between the atomizer and the liquid cavity. This balance hole allows air to enter the liquid cavity, acting as a mediator that equalizes pressure and prevents negative pressure buildup during atomization, thereby maintaining stable liquid flow while preserving atomization efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes pneumatic principles by introducing air flow through the balance hole into the liquid cavity. This air flow compensates for the negative pressure generated during atomization, maintaining pressure balance and ensuring continuous, stable liquid flow to the heating element without obstruction or burning
2Reliability
If sealing component is added between tube wall and heating assembly, then sealing is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing component is merged with the balance hole structure, combining the sealing function and the pressure balancing function into a single integrated component. This integration maintains reliable sealing between the tube wall and heating assembly while avoiding the need for separate, complex sealing mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing component serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides sealing to prevent liquid leakage and creates the balance hole to regulate air flow and pressure. This multi-functionality reduces the overall number of components needed, simplifying the device structure while maintaining sealing performance

AI summary
The present disclosure may provide an atomizer and an electronic atomization device. The atomizer may include a shell, a heating assembly, a lid, a base, and a first sealing component. The shell defines a liquid cavity and a smoke outlet. The heating assembly may heat and atomize the liquid into a smoke. The lid and the base may be provided to fix the heating assembly therebetween. The lid defines a liquid inlet communicating with the liquid cavity, and the liquid may flow through to reach the heating assembly. The atomizer may define an air entering hole, such that external air may enter the device through the hole to drive smoke to flow. The first sealing component may be engaged between the lid and the heating assembly, contacting both at the same time and defining air guiding channels to guide the air to flow into the liquid cavity.
