Solution Overview

Problem

The production difficulty of aerosol generating devices is increased due to the need to form an airway structure on the bottom seat, which complicates the processing of other parts and reduces the available internal space.

Innovation Solution

An atomizer with an air guiding groove on the liquid storage member and an air inlet channel on the air guiding member, allowing external air to enter the atomizing chamber without directly forming an air channel structure on the bottom seat.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If an airway structure is formed on the bottom seat to communicate with the atomizing chamber, then the airflow function is achieved, but the processing of other parts on the bottom seat is affected and production difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction difficultyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The air channel structure is separated from the bottom seat and integrated into the air guiding member instead. This segmentation allows the bottom seat to be processed independently without the complex airway structures, while the air guiding member handles the airflow function, thereby reducing production difficulty and simplifying the bottom seat processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The air guiding member acts as an intermediary component that takes over the air channel formation function from the bottom seat. By introducing this intermediate structure, the bottom seat is freed from complex airway processing requirements, making manufacturing easier while still achieving the necessary airflow communication with the atomizing chamber.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Volume of moving object

If the device is made smaller and thinner, then the appearance is improved, but the available internal space is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice volumeVSAvoidprocessing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The air channels are designed to extend in multiple dimensions within the compact structure. The air inlet channels and air guiding grooves utilize vertical and radial dimensions efficiently, allowing adequate airflow pathways to be formed within the reduced overall device volume without compromising manufacturability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
