Electronic Cigarette Atomizing Component with Height-Differentiated Filling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing electronic cigarette designs lack effective isolation between the smoke emitting outlet and the e-liquid filling hole, leading to inconvenient e-liquid refilling and potential damage due to e-liquid splashing or leakage, which affects the atomizing effect and can cause battery damage or short circuits.
Innovation Solution
The atomizing component features a light-permeable e-liquid storage sleeve with a detachable atomizing core, a ventilation tube, and a connecting mechanism that positions the smoke emitting outlet higher than the e-liquid filling hole, along with a fastening element to prevent radial expansion and enhance connection strength, ensuring e-liquid is not splashed into the ventilation tube during refilling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the smoke emitting outlet is located in the e-liquid storage chamber without isolation, then the structure is simple, but e-liquid can splash into the air passage affecting atomizing effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the internal space by introducing a ventilation tube that extends from the bottom to the top of the e-liquid storage chamber, segmenting the chamber into an inner region (inside the tube) and an outer region (between tube and chamber wall). This segmentation creates physical isolation between the smoke emission path and e-liquid filling area, preventing e-liquid from entering the air passage while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If the e-liquid filling hole is positioned at the atomizing core insertion opening, then refilling is convenient, but e-liquid can be mistakenly added to the air passage causing battery damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the e-liquid filling hole at the bottom surface of the e-liquid storage chamber, which is a different spatial location from the top opening where the atomizing core is inserted. This dimensional repositioning separates the e-liquid addition path from the atomizing core insertion path, allowing users to refill e-liquid conveniently at the bottom without risking contamination of the air passage or battery, while still maintaining ease of operation.
3Ease of repair
If the atomizing core is detachably connected for easy replacement, then maintenance is easier, but connection strength may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite connection mechanism at the insertion opening that integrates multiple connection features (such as threaded structures, snap-fit elements, or magnetic components combined with mechanical interlocking). This composite approach provides both detachability for easy replacement and sufficient connection strength to prevent accidental separation, resolving the contradiction between ease of repair and connection strength.

Function Achieved in This Case
This design prevents e-liquid from splashing into the ventilation tube during refilling, allows for easy replacement of the atomizing core, and reduces the risk of battery damage, facilitating convenient e-liquid addition and maintaining the atomizing effect while ensuring the atomizing core remains securely connected.
Implementation Method 1
the heat generating element in the atomizing core is heated to atomize e-liquid
Implementation Method 2
the smoke atomized by the heating wire assembly flows to the air outlet through the ventilation tube
Implementation Method 3
condensed e-liquid can be stored in the condensation chamber when the smoke atomized by the heating wire assembly flows to the air outlet through the ventilation tube

AI summary
The present application is disclosed an atomizing component and an electronic cigarette. The atomizing component comprises a light-permeable e-liquid storage sleeve. An atomizing core is detachably connected to an end of the e-liquid storage sleeve. A fastening element for restricting radial expansion of the e-liquid storage sleeve is sleeved at where the e-liquid storage sleeve is insertedly connected to the atomizing core. An end of a ventilation pipe opposite to the atomizing core is a smoke emitting outlet in communication with a suction nozzle. An e-liquid filler hole is extended from the end of the ventilation pipe provided with the smoke emitting outlet. The smoke emitting outlet and the e-liquid filler hole are located on planes of different heights; while e-liquid is being added, the outer circumferential wall of the ventilation pipe blocks the e-liquid splashed accidentally, thus preventing the e-liquid from being splashed into the ventilation pipe.
