Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the heating wire is winding around the heating wire support body to form a heating element with through holes in cartridge for electrical connection, then the heating function is achieved, but the structure becomes complicated and unstable in energization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of energizationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the heating wire from the traditional winding configuration around a support body and repositions it to be directly wound around the ceramic base. This eliminates the need for separate heating wire support bodies and through holes in the cartridge, simplifying the structure while improving electrical connection stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the heating wire support function into the ceramic base itself by winding the heating wire directly around the ceramic base. This integration eliminates separate support components and simplifies the electrical connection path, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and energization stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If the heating wire is wound around heating wire support body with through holes in cartridge for electrical connection, then heating operation is implemented, but mounting becomes troublesome and automatic production is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of mountingVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the complex mounting requirements by eliminating through holes in the cartridge and separate heating wire support bodies. The heating wire is directly wound around the ceramic base, which naturally provides mechanical support and electrical connection, greatly simplifying the mounting process for automatic production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The ceramic base serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, electrical insulation, and a mounting surface for the heating wire. This self-service approach eliminates the need for separate support components and simplifies the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
