Solution Overview

Problem

In electronic atomization devices, the integrated structure of the liquid storage cavity and atomization assembly often results in constant contact between e-liquid and the atomization core, leading to damage and leakage, which shortens the device's service life and degrades user experience.

Innovation Solution

An atomization device with a detachable liquid storage device and atomization assembly, featuring a first seal that can be pressed to release by a pressing member, allowing e-liquid to flow from the storage device to the atomization core while a second seal seals the joint between the outlets and inlets, preventing leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the liquid storage cavity and atomization assembly are integrated with constant contact between e-liquid and atomization core, then the device structure is simple, but the atomization core is damaged and service life is shortened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidatomization core service life
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separate liquid storage cavity and atomization assembly components. The atomization core is isolated from direct contact with e-liquid by using a liquid storage cavity with sealing structures, allowing the core to be replaced or protected independently while maintaining overall device functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the liquid storage cavity and atomization assembly are integrated with constant contact between e-liquid and atomization core, then the device structure is simple, but e-liquid leakage occurs and user experience is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoide-liquid leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A sealing structure acts as an intermediary between the liquid storage cavity and atomization assembly. This seal prevents direct contact and potential leakage paths while allowing controlled e-liquid transfer when needed, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and leakage prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If a piercing structure is used to allow e-liquid to enter the atomization assembly, then the sealing can be broken to enable flow, but part of the e-liquid leaks out during piercing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing breaking mechanismVSAvoide-liquid loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The mechanical piercing action is replaced with a controlled opening mechanism. Instead of forcibly piercing the seal which causes uncontrolled e-liquid leakage, the seal is designed to open in a controlled manner that directs e-liquid flow through designated paths, preventing loss during the transition from sealed to open state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
