Solution Overview

Problem

The existing heating members in atomizers, when curled and integrated with porous ceramics, are prone to separation and overburning, limiting their widespread use in atomized core structures due to structural weakness and poor adhesion.

Innovation Solution

An atomizing assembly featuring an adsorption substrate with a heating member and lead, where the heating body is embedded on the substrate's sidewall, and the electrode is partially or completely embedded within the substrate, enhancing adhesion and structural stability to prevent core overburning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the heating member is curled and integrally sintered with porous ceramic slurry, then the heating member can be formed with uniform spacing and easy batch production, but the heating member is easily separated from the porous ceramic causing core overburning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebatch productionVSAvoidadhesion between heating member and porous ceramic
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The heating member is divided into two functional parts: a heating body for heat generation and an electrode for electrical connection and structural support. The electrode is separately formed and then integrally sintered with the porous ceramic substrate, creating a segmented structure where each part performs its specific function while maintaining strong adhesion to the substrate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite structure combining the heating body (metallic material), electrode (conductive material), and porous ceramic substrate. The electrode serves as both an electrical conductor and a mechanical anchor, forming a composite assembly that integrates multiple materials with complementary properties to achieve both manufacturability and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If the heating member is curled and formed, then temperature adjustment and heat control become easy, but the heating member is easily separated from the porous ceramic during assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature adjustmentVSAvoidstructural strength of heating member
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The heating member is segmented into a heating body and an electrode. The electrode is designed with sufficient structural strength to serve as a rigid support framework, while the heating body maintains its curled configuration for effective heat generation. This segmentation allows the electrode to provide mechanical strength without compromising the heating function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electrode acts as an intermediary element between the heating body and the porous ceramic substrate. It provides both electrical connection and mechanical support, serving as a mediator that transfers electrical energy to the heating body while anchoring the entire heating member assembly to the substrate through integral sintering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If the heating member is separated from the porous ceramic, then assembly is simpler, but core overburning occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoidcore overburning
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The electrode and porous ceramic substrate are merged through integral sintering, creating a unified structure where the electrode becomes an inherent part of the substrate. This merging ensures that the heating member remains firmly attached during operation, preventing separation and the associated harmful effect of core overburning, while still allowing for relatively simple assembly processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention discloses an atomizer and an atomizing assembly, including an adsorption substrate, a heating member and a lead. The adsorption substrate is configured to adsorb a liquid atomizable medium, the heating member includes a heating body and an electrode connected with the heating body, and the heating body is disposed on a sidewall of the adsorption substrate. The electrode is partially or completely embedded in the adsorption substrate, and the lead is electrically connected with a portion of the electrode that is located in the adsorption substrate, such that the adsorption substrate wraps the electrode and part of the lead, thereby the heating body of the heating member is not prone to being deformed due to the pulling of the lead during the assembly process, thereby avoiding the problem of core overburning because of the separation of the heating member and the adsorption substrate.
