Atomizer Regulating Assembly for Liquid Leakage Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarettes suffer from liquid leakage due to the ease with which liquid escapes from the liquid storage chamber through the atomizing assembly, affecting user experience and device functionality.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer design featuring an upper cover assembly, an atomizing device, and a regulating assembly with a rotating regulating ring that adjusts the fluid communication area between the atomizing device and the regulating assembly, combined with a collecting device to prevent liquid leakage, allows for air intake from the top and regulation at the bottom, reducing low pressure and preventing liquid leakage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a leak-proof mechanism is added to prevent liquid leakage, then liquid leakage is reduced, but the structure becomes more complex and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful liquid from the system by providing a dedicated collection chamber that separates leaked liquid from the battery and control panel areas. The liquid collection chamber is integrated into the housing structure, allowing liquid to be diverted and contained without requiring complex external leak-proof mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary liquid collection chamber that acts as a mediator between the atomizing assembly and the battery/control panel. This intermediate structure receives and contains liquid, preventing direct contact with sensitive components without requiring complex sealing mechanisms.
2Ease of operation
If the fluid communication area between the atomizing device and regulating assembly is increased, then airflow regulation is improved, but liquid leakage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the fluid communication path into controlled portions using the regulating assembly with adjustable openings. The regulating assembly divides the airflow path and allows selective opening/closing of specific channels, enabling precise airflow control while maintaining liquid containment through the integrated collection chamber.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic regulating assembly that can adjust the fluid communication area between the atomizing device and regulating assembly. The adjustable openings allow the system to dynamically change airflow characteristics while the integrated liquid collection chamber continuously prevents liquid leakage regardless of the opening configuration.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
