Solution Overview

Problem

In electronic atomization devices, condensate formation due to temperature differences and high humidity in the atomization channel leads to aerosol taste deterioration, as it can flow out or to the atomization core, affecting the atomization process.

Innovation Solution

An atomization core with a first and second heating member, controlled by an electrode portion and controller, is placed within the atomization channel to heat the substrate and condensate, with the first heating member near the outlet for temperature equalization and secondary atomization, and the second near the substrate outlet for efficient aerosol generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single heating member is used in the atomization channel, then the device structure is simple, but condensate is easily generated due to temperature difference and high humidity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating member structureVSAvoidcondensate generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The single heating member is divided into two separate heating members: a first heating member near the outlet and a second heating member near the substrate outlet. This segmentation allows independent control of heating zones, with the first heating member preventing condensate formation at the outlet and the second heating member ensuring efficient atomization at the substrate outlet, thereby reducing overall condensate generation while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different heating members are positioned at different locations within the atomization channel to address local temperature issues. The first heating member is placed near the outlet where temperature is typically lower to prevent condensate formation, while the second heating member is placed near the substrate outlet to maintain optimal atomization temperature. This local quality approach ensures appropriate temperature control in each specific zone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-generated harmful factors

If heating is continuously applied to prevent condensate, then aerosol taste is improved, but overheating and energy waste occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecondensate reductionVSAvoidheating energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The controller enables periodic or intermittent operation of the heating members rather than continuous heating. The first heating member can be activated periodically to prevent condensate formation at the outlet, while the second heating member operates periodically to maintain atomization temperature. This periodic action reduces energy consumption compared to continuous heating while still effectively preventing condensate and maintaining aerosol quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The controller monitors the atomization channel conditions and adjusts the heating members' operation accordingly. When condensate is detected or temperature drops, the first heating member is activated. When atomization temperature is insufficient, the second heating member is activated. This feedback mechanism ensures heating is applied only when needed, preventing energy waste while maintaining aerosol taste and preventing condensate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Temperature

If the first heating member is positioned far from the outlet, then it can heat the entire channel, but temperature equalization at the outlet is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel temperature uniformityVSAvoidcondensate at outlet
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The heating function is segmented into two distinct heating members positioned at different locations. The first heating member is specifically positioned near the outlet to address temperature equalization at that critical zone, while the second heating member handles the substrate outlet area. This segmentation ensures that each heating member focuses on its specific zone, with the first heating member specifically targeting outlet temperature equalization to prevent condensate formation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first heating member is strategically positioned near the outlet to provide localized heating exactly where condensate formation is most likely to occur. This local quality approach ensures that temperature equalization is effectively applied at the outlet region, preventing condensate formation without requiring the heating member to be positioned far away to heat the entire channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
