Atomization Device with Lateral Component Layout for Thinner Profile
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomization devices for electronic cigarettes have a poor user experience due to an unreasonable structure and positioning of components, which hinders comfort and ease of use, particularly in terms of thickness and flattening design.
Innovation Solution
The atomization device features a shell with an optimized arrangement of the oil storage chamber, gas passage, and atomization chamber, where any two of these components are positioned along directions other than the thickness direction, allowing for a thinner, more comfortable design that facilitates easier biting and inhalation, with specific configurations such as the gas inlet and outlet sections and the atomization core's placement to enhance airflow and medium atomization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the oil storage chamber, gas passage, atomization chamber and atomization core are arranged in a conventional configuration, then the device can maintain basic functionality, but the thickness cannot be effectively reduced and flattening design is not conducive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensional change by rearranging the spatial arrangement of components from a conventional vertical stacking configuration to a horizontal distribution configuration. Specifically, the oil storage chamber, gas passage, atomization chamber and atomization core are arranged along the width direction and length direction of the shell rather than primarily in the thickness direction, enabling the device to achieve a thinner profile while maintaining all necessary functional components.
2Shape
If the device thickness is reduced to improve flattening design, then comfort and ease of biting are improved, but the internal space for component arrangement becomes constrained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the space constraint by utilizing the width and length directions of the shell to accommodate components. The oil storage chamber is positioned in the width direction, the gas passage extends along the length direction, and the atomization chamber and core are arranged in the remaining space, effectively using three-dimensional space to overcome the limited thickness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the internal space of the shell into distinct functional zones: the oil storage chamber occupies one region, the gas passage creates a separate flow path, the atomization chamber is positioned for vapor generation, and the atomization core is placed for medium delivery. This segmentation allows each component to be optimally positioned without interfering with others, even within the constrained thickness dimension.
