Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multi-flavor atomizing devices have a complex process for replacing atomizing cartridges due to the need for sealing and other operational factors, making it difficult for users to efficiently change flavors or liquids.

Innovation Solution

The atomizing device includes a power supply assembly with an accommodating cavity and a nozzle assembly that can block the outlet, allowing for easy replacement of atomizing cartridges by removing the nozzle assembly and either pinching or tilting the cartridge out.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the liquid storage cavity is sealed to ensure proper function, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complicated replacement process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing reliabilityVSAvoidcartridge replacement ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizing assembly is divided into separable components: the liquid storage cup with cartridge mounting cavity and the nozzle assembly. The cartridge can be independently mounted in the liquid storage cup without requiring disassembly of the entire device, allowing easy replacement while maintaining sealing integrity through the modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The cartridge replacement operation is extracted from the complex sealing process. By designing the cartridge to be mounted directly in the liquid storage cup's mounting cavity, the invention separates the cartridge installation step from the overall device assembly, enabling users to replace cartridges without dealing with complex sealing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the multi-flavor atomizing device is designed with multiple liquid storage cavities, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflavor varietyVSAvoidreplacement process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid storage cup is designed as a universal component that can accommodate multiple atomizing cartridges with different flavors. The mounting cavity structure allows any cartridge to be installed in the same location, providing multi-flavor capability without requiring complex structural variations for each flavor compartment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The device is segmented into the liquid storage cup (containing multiple cartridges) and the nozzle assembly. This segmentation allows the multi-flavor capability to be achieved through the liquid storage cup's mounting cavity design rather than through complex integrated structures, simplifying the overall device while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
