Electronic Atomizer Smoke Elimination Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use of electronic atomizers (e-cigarettes) is restricted in many public areas due to concerns about the impact of exhaled vapor on bystanders, despite containing fewer harmful substances than cigarette smoke.
Innovation Solution
An electronic atomizer with a smoke elimination function, featuring a smoke elimination mechanism with a smoke filtration structure that filters smoke particles and discharges the resulting gas, allowing the device to be used in a wider range of environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an electronic atomizer generates smoke for inhalation, then the user can consume the vapor, but the exhaled vapor impacts bystanders and restricts usage in public areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful smoke particles from the exhaled vapor stream by introducing a separate air flow path that carries fresh air through the mouthpiece, separating the harmful component (smoke particles) from the breathable component (vapor)
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces fresh air as an intermediary substance that mixes with the exhaled vapor in the mouthpiece, creating a diluted mixture that reduces the concentration of harmful smoke particles while maintaining the vaporization function
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a smoke filtration structure is added to eliminate smoke particles, then the impact on bystanders is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mouthpiece structure serves multiple functions: it is the inhalation path for the user, the exhalation path for bystanders, and the mixing chamber where fresh air combines with exhaled vapor. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate filtration components
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the user's own exhaled air flow to drive the smoke elimination process. When the user exhales, the air flow automatically carries smoke particles through the mouthpiece and out to be diluted by fresh air, requiring no additional power source or active control mechanism
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
The smoke elimination mechanism effectively filters out smoke particles from exhaled vapor, enabling the electronic atomizer to be used in more environments while minimizing its impact on bystanders.
Implementation Method 1
a smoke filtration structure disposed within the smoke elimination housing... such that the smoke entering through the smoke blowing hole is filtered by the smoke filtration structure and then discharged from the air outlet hole

AI summary
The disclosure provides an electronic atomizer with smoke elimination function, comprising: an atomization mechanism, wherein the atomization mechanism is equipped with a mouthpiece, allowing the smoke generated by the atomization mechanism to be drawn through the mouthpiece; and a smoke elimination mechanism, including a smoke elimination housing and a smoke filtration structure disposed within the smoke elimination housing. The smoke elimination housing is connected to the atomization mechanism, and is equipped with a smoke blowing hole and an air outlet hole respectively. The smoke blowing hole is arranged corresponding to one end of the smoke filtration structure, while the air outlet hole is arranged corresponding to the other end of the smoke filtration structure, such that the smoke entering through the smoke blowing hole is filtered by the smoke filtration structure and then discharged from the air outlet hole.
