Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for preparing atomization liquids in electronic atomization devices, particularly those with tobacco flavor, suffer from issues such as burnt coil and gunk buildup, leading to poor atomization performance and inadequate inhalation experience, while also causing excessive fragrance loss due to the removal of fragrance components along with large molecules.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the removal of cations and anions from the atomization liquid using electrodialysis, along with optional steps of dilution and moisture removal, to enhance atomization performance and reduce fouling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-generated harmful factors

If large molecules are removed from tobacco extracts by conventional methods, then burnt coil and gunk buildup problems are reduced, but fragrance components are removed along with large molecules causing excessive fragrance loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveburnt coil and gunk buildupVSAvoidfragrance loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the removal process into two distinct stages: first removing large molecules through conventional methods, then separately removing cations through ion exchange resin treatment. This segmentation allows selective removal of harmful substances while preserving fragrance components that would otherwise be lost in a single-step process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces ion exchange resin as an intermediary substance that specifically targets cations in the atomization liquid. This intermediary enables selective removal of cations without affecting fragrance molecules, resolving the contradiction between reducing harmful deposits and preserving aromatic components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If ion exchange method is used to remove ions, then burnt coil and gunk buildup are reduced, but atomization amount decreases and vapor attenuation rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveburnt coil and gunk buildupVSAvoidatomization performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent carefully controls the ion exchange process parameters, including the type of resin used, contact time, and temperature, to optimize the balance between ion removal and atomization performance. By adjusting these parameters, the patent achieves effective cation removal while minimizing negative impacts on vapor generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial ion exchange by using a controlled amount of resin and limited contact time, removing only the excessive cations that cause deposits while leaving sufficient ions to maintain proper atomization performance and vapor output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If electrodialysis method is used to remove ions, then atomization amount increases and vapor attenuation rate decreases, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization performanceVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical electrodialysis equipment with a simpler chemical ion exchange system using resin columns. This substitution maintains the beneficial effects of ion removal on atomization performance while significantly reducing equipment complexity and operational difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
