The electronic vaporization device incorporates a liquid storage part with a protrusion for easy filling and observation, a vaporization element with a porous body and heating element, and a ventilation system to guide air bubbles away from the vaporization surface, ensuring efficient vaporization and aerosol production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the liquid storage chamber is isolated from the airflow channel, then liquid substrate distribution is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid substrate distributionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into functionally independent modules: a liquid storage chamber for holding liquid substrate and an airflow channel for guiding air flow. These chambers are isolated from each other to prevent direct mixing, ensuring reliable liquid distribution to the vaporization element while maintaining separate airflow paths. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by organizing complexity into manageable, independent functional units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A liquid guide structure acts as an intermediary component between the liquid storage chamber and the vaporization element. This mediator controls and directs liquid substrate flow from the isolated storage chamber to the vaporization surface, ensuring reliable liquid distribution without requiring direct connection between storage and airflow channels, thus maintaining both isolation and functional connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If a protrusion part is added to the liquid storage part, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A protrusion part is added locally to the liquid storage part to provide filling and observation functions. This localized structural modification allows users to easily fill liquid substrate and observe liquid levels without complicating the entire device structure. The protrusion serves as a dedicated interface for user interaction, resolving the contradiction by concentrating operational functionality in a specific location rather than redistributing it throughout the device.

Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If air bubbles are guided away from the vaporization surface, then vaporization efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaporization efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Air bubbles are extracted and guided away from the vaporization surface through dedicated airflow paths and guide structures. By separating the air bubble removal function from the vaporization process, the system maintains efficient vaporization without allowing bubbles to interfere with liquid substrate contact. This extraction approach resolves the contradiction by isolating the bubble management function into specific structural elements rather than requiring complex integrated control.

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An electronic vaporization device includes a liquid storage part internally having a liquid storage chamber for storing a liquid substrate and an airflow channel isolated from the liquid storage chamber; a vaporization element for vaporizing the liquid substrate to generate aerosol; a first shell that defines an air outlet hole for the aerosol to escape from the electronic vaporization device; and a second shell connected to the liquid storage part and covering a second part of the outer surface of the liquid storage part; the liquid storage part includes a protrusion part protruding from the first or the second part of the outer surface, at least part of an outer surface of the protrusion part is not covered by the first shell nor by the second shell. During assembly, only the first shell and the second shell need to be fixedly connected to the liquid storage part respectively.
