Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If strip-type substrates are continuously supplied and heated in the atomization assembly, then aerosol generation efficiency is improved, but substrate pollution and flavor degradation occur due to aerosol diffusion and tobacco residue contamination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaerosol generation efficiencyVSAvoidsubstrate pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The housing assembly is divided into distinct functional spaces: a storage space for unatomized substrates, an atomization cavity for heating and aerosol generation, and an accommodation space for atomized substrates. At least one partition separates these spaces, creating physical barriers that prevent aerosol diffusion from the atomization cavity to the storage space, and prevent tobacco residue from contaminating unatomized substrates. This segmentation maintains continuous substrate supply while protecting substrate quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If partitions are added to separate storage space from atomization cavity, then substrate pollution is prevented, but device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The partition structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it separates the storage space from the atomization cavity to prevent aerosol diffusion, provides structural support for the housing assembly, and guides substrate movement from storage through the atomization cavity. By integrating these functions into a single partition component, the design prevents substrate pollution while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Provided is an atomization substrate assembly. The atomization substrate assembly includes a housing assembly. The housing assembly is provided with a storage space for storing an unatomized strip-shaped substrate, an atomization cavity for heating and atomizing the strip-shaped substrate to form an aerosol, and an accommodation space for accommodating the atomized strip-shaped substrate. At least one partition is formed between the storage space and the accommodation space, and/or at least one partition is formed between the storage space and the atomization cavity. By arranging at least one partition between the storage space and the accommodation space, and at least one partition between the storage space and the atomization cavity, the storage space is separated from the accommodation space and the atomization cavity. Thus, an aerosol in the atomization cavity can be prevented from permeating the storage space and polluting the strip-shaped substrate stored in the storage space, and a tobacco residue scrap or an odor generated in the accommodation space can be prevented from entering the storage space and causing pollution.
