Solution Overview

Problem

The detection of an atomizer connection to a power supply assembly in electronic atomization devices results in excessively high resonance voltages, which can damage resonant components.

Innovation Solution

Adjust the resonance frequency and/or pulse voltage of the inverter to maintain the resonance voltage below the voltage resistance value of the resonant components by controlling the battery cell to provide a pulse voltage and adjusting the resonance frequency when detecting the atomizer connection.

1Measurement precision

If a pulse voltage is applied to detect atomizer connection, then the connection status can be detected, but the resonance voltage becomes excessively large and may damage resonant components

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the resonance frequency adjustable rather than fixed. The controller dynamically changes the resonance frequency based on whether the atomizer is connected, allowing the system to operate at different frequencies for different functions (detection vs. normal operation). This resolves the contradiction by enabling safe detection frequencies that prevent damage while maintaining detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the resonance frequency parameter to resolve the technical contradiction. By adjusting the resonance frequency to a first frequency during detection (when atomizer is disconnected) and to a second frequency during normal operation, the system can detect connections without generating damaging voltage levels, thus protecting resonant components while maintaining detection accuracy.

2Power

If the inverter operates at high resonance frequency for efficient heating, then heating efficiency is improved, but the resonance voltage may exceed the voltage resistance of resonant components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating powerVSAvoidcomponent reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the resonance frequency based on operational state. During normal heating operation, it uses a second resonance frequency optimized for power efficiency. During connection detection (when atomizer is disconnected), it switches to a first resonance frequency that ensures safe voltage levels. This dynamic adjustment maintains both heating efficiency and component reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The controller uses feedback from the connection detection state to determine the appropriate resonance frequency. When the atomizer is detected as disconnected, the controller switches to the safer first frequency. When connected, it switches to the more efficient second frequency. This feedback mechanism ensures that high power operation only occurs when safe, maintaining both efficiency and reliability.
