Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic atomization devices suffer from unstable contact between the electrical connector and the atomization core due to a complex structure with numerous components and a complicated mounting process, affecting performance and user experience.

Innovation Solution

The device features a simplified electrical connector structure that is parallel to the atomization surface, with increased contact area and stable abutment, and a fixing assembly that clamps the atomization core in a mounting hole, ensuring stable electrical connection without damaging the core.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the electrical connector uses a complex structure with numerous components, then the contact area is increased, but the device complexity and mounting process complexity increase, leading to unstable contact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact stabilityVSAvoidelectrical connector structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electrical connector is divided into a fixed contact portion and a movable contact portion, allowing independent optimization of each part. The movable contact portion can elastically deform to adapt to position deviations, while the fixed contact portion provides stable structural support, resolving the contradiction between contact stability and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable contact portion is designed with elastic deformation capability, transforming from a static rigid structure to a dynamic adaptive structure. This allows the connector to automatically adjust to position deviations during assembly and operation, improving contact reliability without increasing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the electrical connector uses a complex structure with numerous components, then the contact area is increased, but the mounting process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact stabilityVSAvoidmounting process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the connector into fixed and movable portions with distinct functions, the assembly process is simplified. The fixed portion can be pre-installed as a stable base, while the movable portion is designed to be snap-fitted or elastically engaged, reducing mounting complexity compared to a fully complex integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable contact portion automatically adjusts itself through elastic deformation to compensate for assembly variations, eliminating the need for complex adjustment mechanisms or precise manual alignment during mounting, thus simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining contact stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the electrical connector has complex components, then the contact area is increased, but the atomization core is prone to damage during assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact stabilityVSAvoiddamage to atomization core
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The movable contact portion's elastic deformation capability allows it to adapt to position deviations without requiring forceful assembly, preventing mechanical damage to the fragile atomization core while still achieving stable electrical contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic movable contact portion acts as a cushioning element that absorbs assembly variations and prevents direct mechanical impact on the atomization core, protecting it from damage before problematic forces can be applied.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
