Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the liquid conducting member is vertically placed with side injection, then the structure is simple and easy to assemble, but the aerosol flow path becomes long causing taste alteration and condensation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional side injection design by implementing top injection through the airflow hole. The liquid conducting member receives liquid from the top surface rather than from the side, fundamentally changing the flow direction and path. This inversion resolves the contradiction by maintaining structural simplicity while dramatically shortening the aerosol flow path from the atomization surface to the outlet, preventing taste alteration and condensation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a vertical dimension to liquid injection by creating an airflow hole that extends from the top surface through the liquid conducting member. This dimensional change allows liquid to be injected from the top rather than from the side, transforming the two-dimensional side injection into a three-dimensional top-down flow path that directly reduces aerosol travel distance.
2Device complexity
If the liquid conducting member is vertically placed, then the structure is simple, but oil leakage occurs easily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the injection direction from horizontal side injection to vertical top injection. By reversing the liquid entry point and flow direction, the design maintains structural simplicity while fundamentally preventing the oil leakage issues associated with vertical side injection configurations.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the airflow hole is located at the center, then the aerosol flow path is shortened and taste is preserved, but the liquid storage structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the liquid storage function into multiple components: the airflow hole itself acts as a central liquid conduit, while liquid storage grooves are distributed around its periphery. This segmentation allows the central airflow hole to be positioned optimally for short aerosol path length while the peripheral grooves provide the necessary liquid storage capacity, resolving the contradiction between taste preservation and storage structure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The central airflow hole serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the liquid injection channel from the top, serves as the atomization surface when the heating element is applied, and functions as the aerosol outlet. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate complex liquid storage structures while maintaining optimal aerosol flow path length for taste preservation.

AI summary
The invention discloses an atomization device and atomization core thereof, the atomization core comprises a liquid conducting member and a heating element. The liquid conducting member is provided with an airflow hole running through itself longitudinally, and at least one liquid storage groove. The liquid storage groove is located on the outer periphery of the airflow hole, and the liquid storage groove includes at least one first sub-liquid storage groove and at least one second sub-liquid storage groove in communication with the first sub-liquid storage groove. The airflow hole is located at the center of the liquid conducting member, which can be close to the outlet of the atomization device, the aerosol generated by the atomization core has a shorter flow path and is less prone to affect the taste due to cooling, and it can effectively prevent the aerosol from condensing due to cooling during the flow process.
