Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a fixed duty cycle PWM method is used to control heating, then the control method is simple, but the power output cannot be maintained constant during the initial heating stage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed duty cycle to a dynamic duty cycle that changes in real-time based on the heating stage. The control module adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal according to the current heating state, enabling the system to maintain constant power output during the initial stage while keeping the control logic manageable through structured segmentation of heating periods.
2Power
If power monitoring is performed periodically to adjust heating, then power output can be regulated, but the response time is slow and precision is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the control module continuously monitor the actual power output and compare it with the target power. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts the duty cycle in real-time, ensuring rapid response and high precision in maintaining constant power output, thereby eliminating the delays associated with periodic monitoring methods.
3Ease of manufacture
If the heating element is controlled to heat continuously, then the heating process is simple, but energy consumption increases and precision of energy release is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by dividing the heating process into multiple time segments with alternating heating and non-heating periods. The control module adjusts the duty cycle within each segment to achieve precise energy release, thereby reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining heating effectiveness. This segmented approach balances simplicity with energy efficiency.

AI summary
An electronic atomization device includes: a heating element; and a control module for: controlling the heating element to heat in a heating period of a first time segment of a current time window, and detecting a resistance value of the heating element in a non-heating period of the first time segment of the current time window; controlling the heating element to heat in a heating period of an intermediate time segment of the current time window, and controlling the heating element to stop heating or detect the resistance value of the heating element in a non-heating period of the intermediate time segment of the current time window; and controlling the heating element to heat in a heating period of a final time segment of the current time window. The intermediate time segment is a different time segment than the first and final time segments in the current time window.
