Atomizer Air and Liquid Adjusting Assembly Merging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarettes have complex structures with air and liquid adjusting assemblies located at opposite ends, making operation inconvenient and assembly difficult for users.
Innovation Solution
The atomizer design integrates air and liquid adjusting assemblies at the same end, featuring a rotating air adjusting ring and liquid adjusting seat with interconnected holes and slots, allowing for simultaneous adjustment of air intake and liquid flow into the atomizing head.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the air adjusting assembly and the liquid adjusting assembly are disposed at two opposite ends of the atomizer, then the structure is complete with separate control functions, but the user operation becomes inconvenient and the assembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the air adjusting assembly and liquid adjusting assembly at the same end of the atomizer body, specifically integrating both adjustment mechanisms into one location. The air adjusting ring and liquid adjusting ring are positioned adjacent to each other at the top end of the atomizer, allowing users to control both air intake and liquid flow from a single operational point, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining functional completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment assembly location serves multiple functions simultaneously - it houses both the air adjusting mechanism and liquid adjusting mechanism, making it a multi-functional region. This universal design allows the same spatial region to control both airflow and liquid flow parameters, reducing the need for separate distributed control points and simplifying the overall device structure
2Ease of manufacture
If the air adjusting assembly and the liquid adjusting assembly are disposed at two opposite ends of the atomizer, then each assembly has dedicated control, but the assembling process becomes relatively difficult
Solution Approach 1:
By merging both adjusting assemblies at one end of the atomizer body, the patent reduces the number of separate assembly operations required. Instead of assembling components at two opposite ends, the manufacturer can focus both adjustment mechanisms in one location, simplifying the assembly process and reducing the complexity of aligning multiple distributed components
3Ease of operation
If the air adjusting ring is rotated to adjust the air intake area, then the air intake control is achieved, but the structure requires multiple interconnected components
Solution Approach 1:
The air adjusting ring is nested within the atomizer body structure, with the air intake holes formed in the ring itself. When the ring rotates, the holes align with corresponding slots in the atomizer body to control airflow. This nested design allows the adjustment mechanism to be integrated within the existing structure rather than adding separate external components
4Ease of operation
If the liquid barrier ring is rotated to control liquid flow communication, then the liquid flow adjustment is achieved, but the mechanism requires multiple connected components including inner sleeve pipe
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid barrier ring is nested within the inner sleeve pipe, which itself is nested within the atomizer body. The liquid barrier ring rotates within the inner sleeve pipe to align or misalign the first liquid intake holes with the second liquid intake holes. This nested arrangement allows the liquid flow control mechanism to be compactly integrated within the existing structural hierarchy

AI summary
An atomizer includes a liquid storage assembly, an air adjusting assembly and a liquid adjusting assembly. The air adjusting assembly includes an air adjusting ring and an air adjusting seat. The liquid adjusting assembly includes a liquid adjusting seat, an inner sleeve pipe and a liquid barrier ring. When the air adjusting ring is rotated, an area of the air intaking hole communicated with the air intaking slot is adjusted. When the liquid adjusting seat is rotated, the liquid barrier ring is brought to rotate by the inner sleeve pipe, to cause the first liquid intaking hole and the second liquid intaking hole to be communicated with each other or staggered from each other. An electronic cigarette having the atomizer is also provided.
