Atomizing Core Assembly for Leak-Safe Disassembly and Refilling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarette atomizing assemblies are difficult to disassemble, clean, and refill, often resulting in leakage and requiring the entire atomizing core to be replaced when damaged.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing assembly structure featuring a threaded connection between the atomizing core head and tail ends, a tobacco liquid valve with a rotating mechanism, and a top cap for easy refilling, along with sealing rings and an air passage pipe for leakage prevention, allowing for separate replacement and cleaning of components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the atomizing core is designed as an integrated structure, then the manufacturing precision and structural stability are improved, but the ease of repair and maintenance cost worsen because the entire atomizing core must be replaced once any part is damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing core is divided into multiple separable components including the atomizing head, heating assembly, and connection interface. This segmentation allows individual components to be replaced independently rather than replacing the entire integrated structure, reducing maintenance costs while maintaining structural integrity during assembly
Solution Approach 2:
The design enables selective replacement of worn or damaged components (such as the heating wire or atomizing head) while retaining functional parts. This extends the overall lifespan of the atomizing core assembly and reduces waste by recovering reusable components
2Reliability
If the atomizing core is tightly sealed to prevent leakage, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation worsens because users cannot easily disassemble it for cleaning and refilling
Solution Approach 1:
The tobacco liquid valve is designed with a rotating mechanism that transitions between locked and unlocked states. During normal operation, the valve maintains a sealed state to prevent leakage. When users need to refill or clean, they rotate the valve to unlock it, enabling easy disassembly of the top cap and access to the atomizing core
Solution Approach 2:
The tobacco liquid valve acts as an intermediary component between the sealed liquid storage chamber and the atomizing core. It provides a controlled interface that maintains sealing during operation but allows controlled access when needed, bridging the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation
3Ease of operation
If the atomizing core is designed for easy disassembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability worsens due to potential misalignment and leakage at connection interfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The threaded connection features visual alignment indicators (such as colored marks or positioning ribs) that guide users to correctly align components during assembly. This visual feedback system ensures proper positioning of the atomizing core components, preventing misalignment and ensuring reliable sealing at connection interfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The connection interface replaces complex mechanical alignment mechanisms with a simplified threaded screw connection. This mechanical substitution provides both ease of disassembly (users can simply unscrew) and reliable reconnection (threads naturally guide alignment and provide secure engagement with sealing surfaces

AI summary
An atomizing assembly structure is disclosed that is easy to disassemble. The atomizing assembly structure includes an atomizing sleeve (1), a threaded sleeve (2) and an atomizing core (6). The atomizing sleeve has a lower end fixed to the threaded sleeve. The atomizing assembly structure further includes a tobacco liquid valve (5) and a top cap (3). The atomizing core is arranged inside the tobacco liquid valve. The atomizing core and the tobacco liquid valve are in pluggable connection. The tobacco liquid valve has an upper end connected to the top cap through thread. The top cap covers and seals the atomizing sleeve. The atomizing assembly structure is simple in structure, easy to disassemble and regulate, convenient to clean and is leakage-proof, and thus greatly improves user experience.
