E-Cigarette Atomizer Base Diversion Trenches Prevent Liquid Leakage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic cigarettes suffer from liquid smoke leakage through the air inlet hole, causing pollution and reducing their effectiveness as a smoking alternative.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a base with crisscrossed diversion trenches on its bottom surface, which lengthens the air flow passage and increases viscosity, making it difficult for liquid smoke to leak, and includes an atomizing assembly within a liquid accumulator with a smoke tube and heating unit to efficiently atomize the liquid smoke.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If air inlet hole is provided in the base for air flow, then air can enter the smoke tube to carry away smoke, but liquid smoke can leak through the air inlet hole to the outside causing pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The base body is segmented into multiple functional zones by dividing the air inlet hole into multiple smaller holes and creating diversion trenches that split the air flow path. This segmentation prevents liquid smoke from directly leaking through any single point while maintaining adequate air flow for smoke carry-away
Solution Approach 2:
The diversion trench acts as an intermediary structure between the air inlet hole and the liquid storage cavity. It mediates the air flow to prevent direct contact with liquid smoke while still allowing sufficient oxygen supply for the atomizing assembly to function effectively
2Object-generated harmful factors
If diversion trench is added to prevent liquid smoke leakage, then liquid smoke leakage is reduced, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The diversion trench is merged with the base body structure itself rather than being a separate component. The trench is formed directly in the base material, combining the structural support function with the liquid diversion function in a single integrated element, thus preventing leakage without significantly increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The diversion trench creates a thin film or barrier structure within the base body that redirects liquid smoke flow. This thin structural feature effectively prevents leakage while minimizing the addition of material and structural complexity
