Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the atomizing core remains in communication with the liquid chamber during filling, then the filling process is simple, but the tobacco liquid leaks from the atomizing core

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilling process simplicityVSAvoidliquid leakage prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid blocking assembly is activated before the filling operation to pre-establish the isolation state. The blocking cover moves to the blocking position in advance to prevent liquid leakage during filling, and only after filling is complete does it move to the non-blocking position to allow liquid access during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The liquid blocking assembly transitions from a static configuration to a dynamic one where the blocking cover can move between blocking and non-blocking positions. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt its state based on operational requirements, preventing leakage during filling while enabling liquid access during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the atomizing core is isolated from tobacco liquid during filling, then liquid leakage is prevented, but the filling process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid leakage preventionVSAvoidassembly structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid blocking assembly serves multiple functions: it blocks liquid during filling, allows liquid access during operation, and can be integrated with the existing atomizer structure. The blocking cover works cooperatively with the atomizing core and housing to achieve both isolation and access functions within a unified structure.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The blocking cover is designed to nest within or around the atomizing core structure, with the liquid blocking assembly integrated into the existing housing and atomizing core components. This nested arrangement adds the blocking function without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If a liquid blocking assembly is added to prevent leakage, then liquid leakage is prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid leakage preventionVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid blocking assembly is merged with existing components of the atomizer. The blocking cover integrates with the atomizing core or housing structure, and the driving mechanism combines with the filling operation controls. This merging approach prevents leakage while minimizing the increase in component count.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Existing components are designed to serve multiple functions: the blocking cover not only prevents leakage but also facilitates the filling process, and the driving mechanism serves both blocking and non-blocking operations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated components.

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