The atomizer design incorporates conductive strips that increase the contact area with the external power supply, enhancing the stability of the power supply current by providing a larger contact area through conductive strips connected to the conductive terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If point contact is used between conductive terminals and power supply electrodes, then the structure is simple, but the supply current becomes unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from point contact (0D/1D) to surface contact (2D) by introducing conductive strips that wrap around the power supply electrodes. This dimensional change increases the contact area from a single point to an extended surface, thereby stabilizing the supply current while maintaining structural simplicity through the wrapping configuration
2Area of stationary object
If point contact is used between conductive terminals and power supply electrodes, then the device structure remains simple, but the contact area is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive strips extend in multiple dimensions by wrapping around the power supply electrodes, transforming the contact interface from a zero-dimensional point to a two-dimensional surface. This increases the effective contact area without requiring complex multi-component assemblies
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the conductive connection by increasing the contact surface area through the wrapping strips. This parameter change directly addresses the insufficient contact area problem while the strips' integration into the atomizer structure prevents excessive complexity
