Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional low-temperature baked smoking devices have an integrated power supply and heating assembly that cannot be easily replaced or cleaned, limiting the convenience of replacing cigarettes and maintaining the heating assembly.

Innovation Solution

A baked smoking device design featuring a sliding button that allows the heating assembly to be pushed out of its cavity for replacement and cleaning, with a push tube and reposition member facilitating two continuous strokes for easy access and disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the power supply and heating assembly are integrally arranged, then the device structure is compact, but the heating assembly cannot be replaced or cleaned separately

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereplacement and cleaning convenienceVSAvoidstructural integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating assembly is separated from the power supply through the push tube mechanism. The heating element is mounted on the push tube, forming an independent removable unit that can be separated from the power supply and battery assembly, enabling separate replacement and cleaning of the heating component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The heating assembly is extracted as a removable component mounted on the push tube. This extracted heating unit can be pushed out of the accommodating cavity through the sliding button mechanism, allowing users to remove and clean the heating assembly separately without disassembling the entire device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If the heating assembly is fixed in the accommodating cavity, then the device structure is simple, but it is not easy to clean the inside of the heating assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning accessibilityVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating assembly is transformed from a fixed structure to a dynamic removable structure. The sliding button mechanism enables the heating assembly to move between a stored position (inside the accommodating cavity) and a removed position (pushed out for cleaning), providing cleaning accessibility while maintaining a simple stored configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The push tube serves as an intermediary carrier between the heating element and the accommodating cavity. The heating assembly is mounted on the push tube, which acts as a mediator to facilitate the removal and reinstallation of the heating element through the sliding button mechanism, enabling easy cleaning access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the sliding button performs two continuous strokes, then the cigarette and heating assembly can be pushed out separately, but the operation mechanism becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation flexibilityVSAvoidsliding mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sliding button mechanism performs multiple functions through two continuous strokes: the first stroke pushes the push tube to eject the cigarette, and the second stroke pushes the heating assembly out of the accommodating cavity. This multi-functional mechanism enables both cigarette replacement and heating assembly removal using a single operational component.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The two strokes of the sliding button are continuous actions that sequentially perform different functions. The first stroke continuously pushes the push tube to eject the cigarette, and immediately follows with a second continuous stroke to push the heating assembly out, maintaining continuous useful action without requiring separate mechanisms for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

The present invention relates to a baked smoking device, which comprises a body, a heating assembly, and a sliding button. The body is provided with an accommodating cavity, and the heating assembly is disposed in the accommodating cavity. The heating assembly is provided with an insertion hole for inserting a cigarette. The sliding button is disposed on the body and cooperated with the heating assembly, configured to slide along a second stroke to push the heating assembly out of the accommodating cavity. The sliding button is slided to different positions, to push out the cigarette and the heating assembly respectively. Therefore, the cigarette can be conveniently replaced, and the disassembly of the heating assembly and a power supply assembly such as a power source of the body can be conveniently implemented, which facilitates the replacement of the heating assembly and clean of the interior of the heating assembly.
