Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If single-sided electrical contacts are used for electrode connections, then the device structure is simple, but the electrical connection stability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical connection is divided into two separate contacts (first electrode contact and second electrode contact) instead of a single contact point. Each contact is independently clamped to ensure stable electrical connection, resolving the contradiction between connection stability and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple conductive members (first conductive member, second conductive member, third conductive member) are combined into an integrated connecting structure that provides dual-sided clamping. This merging approach maintains structural compactness while achieving stable electrical connection through multiple contact points.
2Reliability
If dual-sided clamping is implemented for electrode contacts, then electrical connection stability improves, but the connection structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting structure serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connection, mechanical clamping, and structural support. The conductive members are designed to perform both electrical conduction and mechanical fastening functions, reducing the need for separate components and minimizing overall structural complexity despite the dual-sided clamping requirement.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive members are arranged in a nested configuration where the second conductive member is positioned within the first, and the third conductive member is positioned within the second. This nesting approach allows multiple clamping interfaces to be compactly arranged, reducing the overall footprint and visual complexity of the connection structure.

AI summary
An atomizer includes a housing structure, a connecting structure installed at one end of the housing structure, and a heating structure installed in the housing structure. The connecting structure includes a first conductive member provided below the housing structure, a second conductive member provided in the first conductive member, an insulating member provided between the first conductive member and the second conductive member, and a third conductive member provided in the second conductive member. The heating structure includes a heating member. The heating member includes a main body, and a first electrode contact and a second electrode contact configured for electrically connecting with the main body. The first electrode contact is clamped between the first conductive member and the housing structure. The second electrode contact is clamped between the second conductive member and the third conductive member.
