Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The accumulation of condensate and aerosol during the atomization process in atomization devices interferes with the optical identification (OID) light path, leading to reduced identification rates and accuracy due to contamination and burring.
Innovation Solution
An atomization device design that incorporates a light-transmitting member positioned between the receiving chamber and the collector, reducing aerosol interference by minimizing the gap between the light-transmitting member and the aerosol generation substance, and utilizing a sealed compartment to prevent aerosol entry, along with a light emitter for enhanced identification in low-light environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If optical identification is performed in the atomization device, then identification rate and accuracy are improved, but condensate and aerosol accumulate on the light path causing reduced performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful aerosol and condensate from the optical identification path by introducing a light-transmitting member that acts as a physical barrier. This member is positioned to block aerosol particles from reaching the OID sensor while allowing light to pass through, effectively separating the harmful factors from the detection function.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-transmitting member serves as an intermediary element between the aerosol generation chamber and the optical identification sensor. It mediates the interaction by allowing optical signals to pass while blocking particulate matter, thus protecting the sensor from direct contact with harmful condensate and aerosol.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the light-transmitting member is positioned closer to the aerosol generation substance, then aerosol interference is reduced, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the light-transmitting member with the existing structural components of the atomization device. The member is integrated into the housing or chamber structure, combining the function of aerosol blocking with the existing structural framework, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining effective aerosol interference reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-transmitting member performs multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as an optical window for identification, a barrier against aerosol particles, and potentially a structural support element. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, simplifying the overall device structure.
3Measurement precision
If a sealed compartment is introduced to prevent aerosol entry, then identification accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealed compartment is nested within the existing device housing, utilizing the available internal space. The compartment is integrated into the overall device architecture rather than being added as a separate external structure, thereby minimizing the increase in device complexity while achieving effective aerosol containment.
