Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizers in electronic cigarettes often cannot be refilled, leading to waste and increased consumption costs due to oil leakage when filling holes are provided, resulting in frequent scrapping and resource wastage.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer design featuring a reservoir with a flexible block piece that allows for the injection of specific liquid, preventing leakage and enabling repeated use, comprising an atomization pipe with an opening for the block piece, a fixing piece to secure the block, and a base for detachable connection, facilitating the injection of liquid through an injection needle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If oil filling holes are provided in the atomizer, then the atomizer can be refilled with cigarette oil, but it causes oil leakage leading to scrapping and discarding
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible block piece made of elastomeric material that forms a seal around the injection needle. This flexible membrane allows the needle to penetrate and inject oil while maintaining sealing integrity, preventing leakage without requiring permanent holes in the atomizer body.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible block piece serves as an intermediary element between the injection needle and the reservoir. It enables the injection function while protecting the atomizer structure from direct needle penetration, thus preventing oil leakage and maintaining reliability.
2Reliability
If the atomizer cannot be refilled, then sealing is maintained, but consumption cost increases due to frequent replacement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables recovery and reuse of the atomizer by allowing refilling of the reservoir. The flexible block piece facilitates this by providing a reliable sealing mechanism that prevents leakage during the refilling process, making the atomizer economically viable for repeated use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of the sealing mechanism from a static hole to a dynamic flexible membrane that can deform during injection. This parameter change allows the system to maintain sealing integrity while enabling refilling functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible block piece is used to allow injection needle passage, then refilling is enabled without leakage, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible block piece is a simple elastomeric component that provides both sealing and needle penetration functionality. Its flexibility allows it to deform during injection and return to its original shape, maintaining simplicity while enabling refilling.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible block piece performs multiple functions: it seals the opening, allows needle penetration, prevents oil leakage, and maintains structural integrity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
Disclosed are an atomizer, an atomization system and an operation method of the atomization system. The atomizer includes an atomization pipe, a reservoir and a flexible block piece. The atomization pipe includes an opening. The opening penetrates through an outer surface of the atomization pipe. The reservoir is disposed in the atomization pipe. The opening is communicated with the reservoir. The flexible block piece is disposed in the opening. The flexible block piece allows an injection needle to pass through the flexible block piece and enter the reservoir. The atomization system includes a base and the atomizer, and the atomizer is detachably connected to the base. The flexible block piece is filled in the opening to play a sealing role, and when specific liquid is consumed, the specific liquid can be injected into the reservoir by penetrating the injector into the flexible block piece, thus achieving reuse of the atomizer.
