Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic atomization apparatuses have a complex structure due to separate assembly windows for consumable and power supply assemblies, leading to poor integrity and complicated assembly, with the need for multiple shielding members and potential poor contact between consumable and power supply components.

Innovation Solution

An assembly window serves as both the assembly and replacement window for consumable materials, simplifying the structure and improving integrity by using a movable cover body to expose the connection between consumable and power supply assemblies, ensuring proper assembly and preventing poor contact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate assembly windows are provided for consumable and power supply assemblies, then assembly functionality is complete, but device structure becomes complex and integrity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly functionalityVSAvoidhousing structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the consumable assembly window and power supply assembly window into a single integrated assembly window (112) in the housing (11). This single window allows both the consumable assembly (3) and power supply assembly (4) to be assembled and replaced, eliminating the need for separate windows and reducing structural complexity while maintaining complete assembly functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single assembly window (112) serves multiple functions: it acts as both the consumable assembly window and the power supply assembly window. The movable cover body (13) provides universal access for assembling and replacing different components, making the housing structure more versatile and reducing the need for multiple specialized openings.

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

2Reliability

If multiple shielding members are designed to cover different assembly windows, then component protection is achieved, but assembly complexity increases and integrity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent protectionVSAvoidshielding members
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a single movable cover body (13) instead of multiple separate shielding members to cover the assembly window. This unified cover body provides protection for both the consumable assembly and power supply assembly while simplifying the overall structure and reducing the number of parts that need to be assembled and managed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If consumable material is constantly consumed, then atomization function is maintained, but storage tank needs frequent replacement increasing loss of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization functionVSAvoidtank replacement time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions both the consumable assembly (3) and power supply assembly (4) within easy access through the single assembly window (112) with movable cover body (13). This preliminary arrangement allows users to quickly replace consumable assemblies without complex disassembly procedures, reducing the time lost during replacements while maintaining continuous atomization functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electronic atomization apparatus includes: an outer housing (1), an aerosol base material storage tank (2), an aerosol generating apparatus (3), and a power supply assembly (4). An assembly window (112) is arranged on a housing (11). The assembly window (112) is used as an assembly window of the electronic atomization apparatus for assembling the aerosol base material storage tank (2), the aerosol generating apparatus (3), and the power supply assembly (4) into the housing (11). The assembly window (112) is further used as a replacement window of a consumable material for replacing the consumable material. The consumable material is the aerosol base material storage tank (2) or a whole formed by the aerosol base material storage tank (2) and the aerosol generating apparatus (3). The assembly window (112) is set as both the assembly window of the electronic atomization apparatus and the replacement window of the consumable material, so that a structure of the electronic atomization apparatus is simplified to have better integrity. A movable cover body (13) may expose the assembly window (112), so that a connection relationship between the consumable material and the power supply assembly (4) is visualized, and the consumable material is prevented from not being assembled in place, causing poor contact between the consumable material and the power supply assembly (4) and affecting normal use by a user.
