Atomizing Assembly with Sliding Suction Nozzle for Oil Injection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizing devices have cumbersome oil injection processes, requiring users to fully open or close the suction nozzle or oil plug, which adversely affects user experience.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing assembly with an integrated oil injection system, featuring an oil cup, atomizer, opening-closing member, and suction nozzle, where the suction nozzle extends through the opening-closing member to communicate with the atomizing rod for atomization and with the oil cup for oil injection, simplifying the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the suction nozzle or oil plug is fully opened for oil injection, then liquid can be injected into the oil cup, but the operation becomes cumbersome and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The suction nozzle is segmented into a fixed portion and a movable portion that can slide relative to each other. The movable portion acts as an oil plug that can be automatically inserted into or removed from the oil cup opening, separating the injection function from the suction function and enabling automatic operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable portion of the suction nozzle automatically performs the oil plug function by sliding into the oil cup opening when the suction nozzle is removed from the atomizing assembly. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual opening and closing operations by the user.
2Ease of operation
If the suction nozzle is removed from the atomizing assembly for oil injection, then oil can be injected into the oil cup, but the suction nozzle and oil cup become separated components requiring reassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The suction nozzle and oil plug functions are merged into a single integrated component. The suction nozzle includes both a fixed portion that remains with the atomizing assembly and a movable portion that serves as the oil plug, eliminating the need for separate oil plug components and simplifying the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The suction nozzle is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as the suction component for atomization and as the oil plug for sealing the oil cup opening. This universal design reduces the total number of components needed in the atomizing assembly.
3Extent of automation
If the opening-closing member is made elastic at the seam, then it can automatically open when the suction nozzle extends through it, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The opening-closing member incorporates an elastic seam that can flexibly open and close based on the position of the suction nozzle. This flexible design allows automatic opening when the movable portion extends through and automatic closing when retracted, achieving automation with minimal structural complexity.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables straightforward and convenient oil injection, improving user experience by integrating oil injection and atomization channels, reducing production costs through simplified assembly, and minimizing component loss.
Implementation Method 1
the opening-closing member has a seam and is elastic at the seam, the opening-closing member is in the open state when the suction nozzle extends through the seam, and the seam is closed under an elastic restoring force

AI summary
An atomizing assembly and an atomizing device are provided in the disclosure. The atomizing assembly is configured to atomize liquid to-be-atomized and includes an oil cup, an atomizer, an opening-closing member, and a suction nozzle. The oil cup is configured to store the liquid to-be-atomized. The atomizer is disposed in the oil cup and configured to atomize the liquid to-be-atomized. The atomizer includes an atomizing rod and an atomizing core disposed in the atomizing rod. The opening-closing member covers one end of the atomizing rod away from a bottom of the oil cup and has a closed state and an open state. The suction nozzle slidably covers the oil cup. The suction nozzle extends through the opening-closing member when the suction nozzle moves toward the oil cup, such that the opening-closing member is in the open state, and the suction nozzle communicates with the atomizing rod.
