Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizer head assemblies for electronic cigarettes suffer from inconsistent liquid flow rates, leading to dry combustion and limited heat generation, which affects the quality of the smoking experience and the volume of atomized liquid.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer head assembly with a horizontal liquid flow system, featuring an outer tube, inner tube, and liquid storage chamber, where the cigarette liquid flows horizontally and is absorbed by a liquid guide element, and multiple heating elements connected in parallel to increase heat generation and atomization volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cigarette liquid flows vertically downward into the liquid guiding rope, then the liquid can reach the heating device, but the flow speed is difficult to control and may be too slow causing dry combustion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional vertical downward flow direction by implementing horizontal liquid flow from the liquid inlet opening through the liquid storage chamber to the atomizing member. This inversion allows gravity-assisted flow to be replaced with pressure-driven flow, enabling precise control of liquid flow rates and preventing dry combustion caused by insufficient liquid supply.
2Power
If only one heating device is provided with limited voltage range, then the device complexity is low, but the heat generated per unit time is limited and atomization volume is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the heating system into multiple heating elements connected in parallel within the atomizing member, replacing a single heating device. This segmentation allows each element to operate at optimal voltage while collectively generating sufficient heat for adequate atomization volume, resolving the contradiction between power output and device complexity.
3Productivity
If cigarette liquid is stored in a liquid storage cartridge disposed over the atomizer head, then the structure is simple, but the vertical flow speed cannot be controlled consistently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the flow direction parameter from vertical to horizontal and introduces pressure control as a new parameter to regulate liquid flow. The liquid storage chamber receives liquid at controlled pressure, ensuring consistent flow rates to the atomizing member regardless of storage position, thereby improving atomization efficiency while maintaining manufacturing precision.
