Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a conventional heating assembly is used without a through hole structure, then the structure is simpler, but gas-liquid separation is insufficient leading to poor atomization quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization qualityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating assembly is segmented into distinct functional zones: a liquid supply channel for liquid delivery, a heating zone with heating wires for atomization, and a through hole for gas-liquid separation. This segmentation allows each zone to perform its specific function optimally, achieving high atomization quality through structured functional division.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The through hole acts as an intermediary structure between the liquid supply channel and the heating zone. It facilitates gas-liquid separation by providing a dedicated pathway for gas to escape, preventing gas from mixing with the liquid supply and ensuring clean atomization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If heating is applied without a connecting part structure, then the structure is simpler, but heating uniformity is insufficient leading to poor atomization efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting part performs preliminary action by pre-heating the liquid as it enters the heating zone. This ensures the liquid reaches optimal temperature before atomization occurs, improving atomization efficiency and preventing uneven heating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting part features a curved or arc-shaped heating wire configuration that follows the contour of the liquid flow path. This curved arrangement ensures uniform heat distribution across the liquid stream, eliminating cold spots and achieving consistent atomization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the heating member is not embedded in the oil guiding member, then the structure is simpler, but heating uniformity and atomization consistency are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization consistencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating member is embedded within the oil guiding member, merging the liquid guidance function and heating function into a single integrated component. This integration ensures that the liquid follows a controlled path through the heating zone, maintaining consistent atomization quality and preventing structural complexity from increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The embedding structure creates local quality variations within the heating assembly, with the heating wires positioned at specific locations within the oil guiding member to optimize heat transfer. This localized heating arrangement ensures uniform atomization consistency while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
