Atomizer Airflow Guiding Surface for Noise Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic atomization devices suffer from poor airflow circulation and noise generation due to airflow passing through multiple corners within the atomizer's air inlet and outlet channels.
Innovation Solution
The atomizer design includes an airflow channel with at least one branch air channel and a main air channel, featuring an airflow guiding surface at their joint, where the angle between the guiding surface and the main air channel axis is an acute angle, reducing airflow deflection and noise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If airflow passes through multiple corners in the air inlet and outlet channels, then the atomizer can be compact in size, but the airflow circulation becomes poor and loud noise is generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies curvature by designing rounded airflow guiding surfaces at the joints between branch air channels and main air channels, replacing sharp corners with curved transitions. This allows airflow to follow smooth curved paths rather than abrupt angular deflections, reducing turbulence and noise while maintaining the compact multi-branch channel structure for efficient air intake and output
2Volume of moving object
If airflow passes through multiple corners in the air inlet and outlet channels, then the atomizer can be compact in size, but the airflow circulation becomes poor
Solution Approach 1:
The curved airflow guiding surfaces enable smooth transitions at channel joints, allowing airflow to circulate efficiently through the compact multi-branch structure without abrupt deflections that would cause stagnation or poor circulation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes the angle parameters of the airflow guiding surfaces, specifically designing the acute angle between the guiding surface and the main air channel axis to be within a specific range (30-60 degrees), which balances compact size with effective airflow circulation speed
