Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional atomization assemblies in electronic cigarettes have suboptimal thermal utilization rates due to the direct placement of smoke material on a single heating element, limiting efficient vaporization.
Innovation Solution
An atomization assembly featuring a stainless-steel tank with a recess for smoke material and a ceramic core with multiple parallel heating elements for enhanced heat transfer, allowing efficient vaporization through heat transmission from the ceramic core to the stainless-steel tank.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If smoke material is directly placed on a single heating element, then the structure is simple, but the thermal utilization rate is low
Solution Approach 1:
The heating element is divided into multiple segments (first heating element and second heating element) arranged in parallel within the ceramic core. This segmentation increases the total heating surface area and improves thermal utilization rate while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through modular arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The heating elements are arranged in a parallel configuration within the ceramic core structure, utilizing three-dimensional space more effectively. This dimensional arrangement increases the heat transfer surface area without significantly increasing the overall device footprint, thereby improving thermal efficiency.
2Productivity
If smoke material is directly placed on the heating element, then the vaporization process is direct, but the vapor production efficiency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
A stainless steel tank is introduced as an intermediary component between the heating elements and the smoke material. The smoke material is placed in a recess of the tank rather than directly on the heating element, allowing for better heat distribution and vaporization efficiency while maintaining a manageable device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system combines multiple materials with complementary properties: ceramic core for heat retention and distribution, stainless steel tank for structural integrity and heat conduction, and heating elements for heat generation. This composite structure enhances overall vaporization efficiency while keeping the device complexity controlled through functional integration.

AI summary
An atomization assembly, including a stainless-steel tank and a ceramic core. The stainless-steel tank includes a side wall provided with a recess for accommodating the smoke material. The ceramic core is disposed in the stainless-steel tank and opposite to the smoke material. The ceramic core produces a heat and transmits the heat to the stainless-steel tank through heat transfer to atomize the smoke material in the stainless-steel tank to produce vapor. The stainless-steel tank includes an opening, and the vapor flows out of the opening for users to inhale.
