Existing electronic atomizers have complex structures, high manufacturing costs, and difficulties in assembly, with insufficient liquid volume and inefficient liquid transmission, leading to issues with liquid storage and atomization.
Innovation Solution
A simplified electronic atomizing inhaler design featuring a tubular casing with a liquid-container and a heater, where the liquid-container is filled with liquid and the heater is positioned to atomize the liquid, allowing for easy assembly and increased liquid volume without a storage medium, using a gas-guiding device and airflow-passage for efficient atomization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a liquid storage medium (e.g., medicinal cotton fibre) is used in the storage chamber, then the liquid can be stored and transmitted, but the liquid volume capacity is insufficient and the structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the liquid storage medium (medicinal cotton fibre) from the storage chamber, extracting the problematic component that limited liquid volume and added structural complexity. The storage chamber is redesigned to directly hold liquid without requiring an absorbent medium, thereby increasing capacity and simplifying the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is divided into functionally independent components: a storage chamber for liquid storage, a heating assembly for atomization, and a gas passage for airflow. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, with the storage chamber designed specifically for maximum liquid capacity without the need for integrated storage media.
2Reliability
If a heating apparatus is provided in the liquid-draining mechanism, then atomization can be achieved, but the material selection is limited and assembly becomes difficult due to collapse tendency
Solution Approach 1:
The heating apparatus is separated from the liquid-draining mechanism into an independent heating assembly. This segmentation allows the heating component to be manufactured and assembled separately, avoiding the material limitations and collapse issues that would occur if heating elements were integrated into the draining mechanism. The heating assembly can be positioned to directly heat the liquid at the atomization point.
Solution Approach 2:
A gas passage acts as an intermediary between the liquid storage and the heating assembly, directing airflow to the heating region to facilitate atomization. This intermediary structure enables reliable atomization function while maintaining structural integrity and ease of assembly, as the gas passage can be independently formed and connected.
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple components are integrated into a single piece, then assembly is simplified, but the liquid transmission efficiency decreases and manufacturing flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The device employs a segmented modular design where the storage chamber, heating assembly, and gas passage are separate components that can be efficiently assembled. This segmentation maintains liquid transmission efficiency by allowing optimized fluid pathways in each component while simplifying manufacturing and assembly through modular construction. The components connect through standardized interfaces that preserve flow efficiency.
