Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic atomization devices have complex internal structures due to the need for rotating mechanisms to switch between multiple atomizers, which hinders cost reduction and user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic atomization device with a simple structure, featuring a housing with translatable cartridges between two positions, where each cartridge can be electrically connected to a power supply assembly for aerosol generation, allowing for easy switching and reduced complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple atomizers are used with a rotating mechanism to switch between them, then the device can provide multiple aerosol generation options, but the internal structure becomes complex and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into independent modular components: a power supply assembly with multiple connectors and multiple cartridges, each cartridge being a separate functional unit that can be independently selected and replaced
Solution Approach 2:
The cartridge selection mechanism transitions from a static fixed configuration to a dynamic selectable configuration where cartridges can be moved between different positions (first position for non-operating, second position for operating) to switch between atomizers without rotating mechanisms
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rotating mechanism is used to switch between atomizers, then atomizer switching is achieved, but manufacturing cost increases due to complex structure
Solution Approach 1:
The complex rotating mechanism is completely removed from the system. Instead, the invention extracts only the essential switching function and implements it through a simple translational mechanism where cartridges move between fixed positions, dramatically simplifying the manufacturing process
Solution Approach 2:
The cartridges are designed as disposable or replaceable components that can be easily swapped between positions, eliminating the need for expensive, complex rotating mechanisms. The simple translational mechanism allows for cheaper manufacturing and easier production
3Adaptability or versatility
If a rotating mechanism is used to switch atomizers, then multiple atomizers can be selected, but the structure becomes bulky and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer system is segmented into multiple independent cartridges that can be arranged in a compact linear fashion within the housing, eliminating the need for a bulky rotating mechanism and reducing overall device volume
Solution Approach 2:
The switching mechanism transitions from rotational motion (two-dimensional rotation) to translational motion along a linear path (one-dimensional translation), allowing for a more compact and simpler structure that reduces device volume while maintaining switching capability
