Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ultrasonic high-frequency atomizing electronic cigarettes suffer from reduced atomization efficiency, tobacco tar accumulation, and heat transfer issues, leading to poor smoke generation and mouthfeel due to disordered air flow, tobacco tar accumulation, and heat transfer to the shell.

Innovation Solution

An atomizer design featuring a suction nozzle assembly, air inlet, atomization sheet, tobacco tar chamber, and a tobacco tar guide device with a thermal insulation pipe and tobacco tar storage cotton to guide air and tobacco tar efficiently, prevent heat transfer, and control tar accumulation, including a conical thermal insulation pipe for improved smoke pressure and a filter screen for particle prevention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the air outflow passage is positioned far from the atomization surface, then the structure is simpler, but the atomization efficiency is reduced and smoke generation is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidatomization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an air guiding plate as an intermediary component between the air inlet and the atomization surface. This plate directs the air flow along the atomization sheet, ensuring that air properly contacts the atomized smoke. The guiding plate acts as a mediator that transforms disordered air flow into directed flow that enhances atomization efficiency without requiring the air outflow passage to be positioned close to the atomization surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If cold air flows directly through the air outflow passage, then the structure is simpler, but the smoke temperature is reduced and mouthfeel is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidsmoke temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The air guiding plate performs a preliminary action by directing and pre-heating the air before it reaches the atomization surface. The plate ensures that air flows along the atomization sheet, allowing it to be warmed by the heated surface before mixing with the atomized smoke. This preliminary heating action prevents cold air from directly contacting the smoke, maintaining smoke temperature and improving mouthfeel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the air outflow passage is close to the atomization surface, then the atomization efficiency is improved, but the shell temperature increases due to heat transfer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization efficiencyVSAvoidshell temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The air guiding plate serves as a thermal intermediary that separates the air flow path from direct contact with the shell. By positioning the plate between the air outflow passage and the atomization surface, it allows efficient atomization while preventing heat from transferring to the shell. The plate acts as a thermal barrier that maintains atomization efficiency without overheating the shell.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Device complexity

If tobacco tar guide cotton is used to transfer tobacco tar, then the structure is simpler, but tobacco tar accumulation occurs on the atomization sheet

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidatomization performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a tobacco tar separation chamber as an intermediary structure between the tobacco tar storage area and the atomization sheet. This chamber includes a filter screen that mediates the transfer of tobacco tar, allowing controlled passage while preventing accumulation on the atomization sheet. The separation chamber acts as a buffer zone that maintains reliable atomization performance over extended use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
