The atomizer features a novel air passage system with an air hole, gap, air channel, and groove configuration between glass tubes, facilitated by silicone fixing parts and a ceramic core, allowing direct e-liquid injection and improved airflow for efficient vapor production and inhalation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional atomizers use independent e-liquid injector, air inlet and air outlet, then the structure is simple, but the air and vapor flow efficiency is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevapor production efficiencyVSAvoidair passage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the air inlet, air outlet, and e-liquid injector into a unified base structure with interconnected air passages. The base contains integrated air channels that connect the air inlet to the heating element and the air outlet to the vapor discharge path, merging previously independent components into a coordinated flow system that improves vapor production efficiency while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The base structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it houses the air inlet, contains the air passage system, supports the heating element, and provides the e-liquid injector interface. This multi-functional design consolidates several components into a single structural element, improving overall system efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

2Productivity

If conventional atomizers use simple structure, then the manufacturing is easy, but the vapor discharge efficiency is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevapor discharge efficiencyVSAvoidair passage fabrication difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The air passage system is segmented into distinct functional zones within the base: an air inlet channel, a heating element support section, and a vapor discharge channel. Each segment is designed to perform its specific function optimally, with clear transitions between zones. This segmentation allows for standardized manufacturing processes for each segment while achieving complex overall functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The air passages are nested within the base structure, with channels routed through the base material itself. The heating element is positioned within the base, and the air passages are configured to flow around and through designated areas, creating a nested arrangement that maximizes space utilization and vapor discharge efficiency within the compact base structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
