Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If strip-type substrates are continuously supplied to an atomization assembly, then productivity is improved, but aerosol diffusion pollutes fresh substrates affecting flavor quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous substrate supplyVSAvoidaerosol pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The housing assembly is divided into multiple independent spaces (storage space, atomization cavity, accommodation space) separated by partitions. This segmentation prevents aerosol generated in the atomization cavity from diffusing to pollute substrates in the storage space, while still allowing continuous substrate supply to maintain productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If substrates are stored in close proximity to atomization cavity, then device complexity is reduced, but tobacco residue contamination occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegrated housing structureVSAvoidtobacco residue contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The housing assembly is segmented into distinct functional spaces (storage space for fresh substrates, atomization cavity for heating, accommodation space for used substrates) separated by partitions. This prevents tobacco residue and odors generated in the atomization cavity from contaminating fresh substrates in the storage space, while maintaining an integrated device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The harmful elements (aerosol, tobacco residue, odors) are effectively extracted or isolated from the substrate storage environment through the partition walls. The partitions create a barrier that removes the contamination risk from the vicinity of fresh substrates while keeping the overall device compact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If partitions are added to separate spaces, then substrate pollution is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate pollution preventionVSAvoidpartition structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The housing assembly is segmented into functionally independent spaces using partitions, which prevents aerosol and residue contamination while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. The partitions are strategically placed only where needed to separate the storage space from the atomization cavity and accommodation space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
