Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional atomization apparatuses produce vapor with a single taste due to poor mixing of vapor streams from multiple atomization cores, leading to a poor user experience with impact on inner mouth walls and insufficient aroma.

Innovation Solution

An atomization apparatus with a vapor guiding structure featuring two vapor discharging channels and a gathering structure that gradually narrows towards a common discharge port, ensuring vapor streams mix and converge before discharge, enhancing user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If two atomization cores are used to produce vapor with different tastes, then the variety of vapor tastes is improved, but the mixing of vapor streams deteriorates and vapor impacts inner walls of the mouth

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevariety of vapor tastesVSAvoidmixing of vapor streams

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The vapor discharge system is segmented into multiple independent vapor discharging channels (first vapor discharging channel, second vapor discharging channel), each corresponding to a separate atomization core. This allows different substances to be atomized independently in each channel, providing variety in vapor tastes while maintaining separate flow paths that converge at the vapor gathering structure for improved mixing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple separate vapor streams from different atomization cores into a single unified discharge path through the vapor gathering structure. The first and second vapor discharging channels converge at the vapor gathering structure, which combines the separate vapor flows into a mixed stream that exits through a common vapor discharging port, ensuring proper mixing before delivery to the user.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If two streams of vapor are discharged separately, then the production of different tastes is achieved, but the aroma richness deteriorates due to poor mixing

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveproduction of different tastesVSAvoidaroma richness

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The vapor gathering structure is designed to perform preliminary mixing of vapor streams before they reach the user's mouth. The structure includes a vapor gathering space where the first and second vapor streams are combined and mixed prior to discharge, ensuring that the aromas are thoroughly blended before delivery, thereby enriching the overall aroma experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If vapor streams are discharged from separate positions, then the atomization efficiency is maintained, but the user experience deteriorates due to vapor dispersion on mouth walls

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveatomization efficiencyVSAvoidvapor dispersion on mouth walls

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The vapor discharging channels are designed with asymmetric cross-sectional area variations. The cross-sectional areas of the first and second vapor discharging channels gradually decrease in directions away from the vapor discharging port, creating a converging flow pattern that directs both vapor streams toward a common discharge point, reducing dispersion and preventing wall impact.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #4Asymmetry
