Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic atomization apparatuses suffer from unbalanced liquid supply to the atomization core, leading to dry heating and waste, especially when dealing with high viscosity liquids.

Innovation Solution

The apparatus incorporates a liquid storage housing with a liquid guiding surface on the cavity bottom surface, featuring a high middle and low ends, to ensure even liquid distribution to both ends of the atomization core.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If liquid medium is supplied to the atomization core from both ends, then liquid supply coverage is improved, but for high viscosity liquids the liquid flow becomes unbalanced causing dry heating on one side

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid supply coverageVSAvoidliquid supply balance
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid guiding surface is designed with asymmetric geometry featuring a high middle and two low ends, creating different flow paths and resistance characteristics for liquid moving toward each end of the atomization core. This asymmetric structure compensates for the naturally faster flow rate to one end, balancing the liquid distribution to both ends of the atomization core even for high viscosity liquids

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Quantity of substance

If liquid storage cavity is used to store liquid medium, then liquid storage capacity is improved, but liquid at the bottom becomes difficult to flow to both ends causing waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid storage capacityVSAvoidliquid waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid guiding surface incorporates curved geometric features with a high middle and two low ends that actively direct liquid flow from the bottom of the liquid storage cavity toward both ends of the atomization core. This curved surface design prevents liquid pooling at the bottom and ensures complete liquid utilization by guiding all liquid to the atomization core

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
