Solution Overview

Problem

Aerosol generating devices lack a detection function to monitor the working and usage status of the atomizing core, making it difficult for users to determine if the atomizing core has exceeded its service life, which can lead to unsafe usage.

Innovation Solution

An atomizing core with a built-in detecting chip that records and monitors the working information, including usage time and temperature, to alert users when the core is nearing the end of its service life, ensuring safe operation and facilitating timely replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a detecting chip is added to the atomizing core, then the ability to monitor working status and ensure safety is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety monitoring capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detecting chip is nested within the atomizing base, utilizing the existing accommodating groove structure. This integration allows the detection function to be embedded within the existing device architecture without requiring a separate external monitoring unit, thereby improving safety while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The electrode assembly serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connection for power supply to the heating member, establishes electrical connection for the detecting chip, and enables signal transmission between the chip and control board. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, balancing the added detection capability with controlled device complexity.

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

2Reliability

If the atomizing core structure is modified to accommodate the detecting chip, then the monitoring function is improved, but the ease of manufacture deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworking status detectionVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The accommodating groove for the detecting chip is pre-formed during the molding of the atomizing base. This preliminary action integrates the detection component housing into the base manufacturing process itself, avoiding the need for separate post-assembly steps to create the chip mounting structure, thereby reducing overall assembly complexity despite the added functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The electrical connections for both the heating member and the detecting chip are integrated into a single electrode assembly unit. This merging of connection functions into one assembly reduces the number of separate wiring operations required during manufacturing, making the assembly process more efficient despite the added detection functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
