Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If single surface heating is used, then device structure is simple, but heating area is small and heat utilization is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating structureVSAvoidheating area
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The heating member extends into the porous liquid guiding material along the airflow direction, transforming single-surface heating into multi-surface heating. This dimensional extension increases the heating area from one surface to multiple surfaces including front, rear, and side surfaces, thereby improving heat utilization without significantly increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The heating member is embedded within the porous liquid guiding material, with the heating trajectory nested inside the material structure. This nesting approach allows the heating element to be integrated into the material's internal structure, increasing heating area while maintaining a compact device form factor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Device complexity

If single surface heating is used, then heating structure is simple, but heat distribution is uneven causing local high temperature

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating structureVSAvoidheat distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By extending heating to multiple surfaces including front, rear, and side surfaces through dimensional extension, the heating is distributed more uniformly throughout the porous liquid guiding material. This prevents concentration of heat on a single surface, eliminating local high temperature zones that could cause harmful substance volatilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The heating member is positioned at different locations within the porous liquid guiding material to provide localized heating where needed. The heating trajectory is designed to distribute heat evenly across different regions of the material, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and preventing localized overheating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Area of stationary object

If 360-degree heating is used, then heating area is large, but aerosol discharge is delayed causing local high temperature

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The heating is segmented into different zones along the airflow direction, with the heating member positioned to heat the porous liquid guiding material at specific locations. This segmentation allows coordinated heating with aerosol discharge, preventing accumulation and high temperature buildup by distributing heat application along the airflow path

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Area of stationary object

If 360-degree heating is used, then heating area is large, but harmful substance volatilization occurs

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

By extending heating to multiple surfaces including front, rear, and side surfaces, the heat is distributed more evenly throughout the porous liquid guiding material. This prevents localized high temperature zones that could cause harmful substance volatilization, ensuring safer operation while maintaining effective heating area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The heating member is strategically positioned and the heating trajectory is designed to distribute heat uniformly across different regions of the porous liquid guiding material. This controlled local heating approach prevents excessive temperature at any single location, eliminating the condition that would cause harmful substance volatilization

Inventive Principle:
