Solution Overview

Problem

In existing atomizers, a significant portion of the atomizable medium in the liquid storage cavity cannot reach the atomization component for effective usage, resulting in low utilization of the medium.

Innovation Solution

The atomizer incorporates a liquid guide member with at least two liquid guide surfaces that communicate the liquid storage cavity with the liquid outlet hole, ensuring that residual atomizable medium is guided into the atomization component for use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a simple liquid storage cavity structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the atomizable medium cannot reach the atomization component effectively, resulting in low utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveutilization of atomizable mediumVSAvoidstructure of liquid storage cavity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A liquid guide member is introduced as an intermediary component between the liquid storage cavity and the atomization component. This guide member includes guide surfaces that channel and direct the atomizable medium from the storage cavity toward the atomization component, ensuring effective delivery without requiring complex cavity structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The liquid delivery path is segmented into distinct functional zones: the liquid storage cavity, the liquid guide member with guide surfaces, and the atomization component. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, with the guide member specifically responsible for directing liquid flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of substance

If the liquid storage cavity is designed without guide structures, then the manufacturing precision requirements are reduced, but residual atomizable medium remains in the cavity, reducing utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresidual atomizable mediumVSAvoidprecision of liquid guide surfaces
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid guide member serves as a mediator that addresses the residual liquid problem without requiring high-precision machining of the storage cavity itself. The guide member's specially designed guide surfaces provide the necessary flow directionality, while the main cavity can be manufactured with standard precision tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

High precision is applied locally only to the liquid guide surfaces of the guide member, rather than requiring the entire storage cavity to meet high precision standards. This localized approach ensures effective liquid guidance while maintaining cost-effective manufacturing for the majority of the component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
