Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a single cylindrical hole structure is used in the ceramic atomizer, then the device complexity is low and manufacturing is simple, but the heating area is small and vapor production is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The single cylindrical hole is segmented into multiple through holes (first through hole and second through hole) within the ceramic body. This segmentation increases the total heating area by allowing multiple heating wires to be positioned in different locations, thereby enabling greater vapor production while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The heating structure transitions from a single-dimensional cylindrical hole to a multi-dimensional arrangement of multiple through holes with heating wires positioned at different heights and locations. This dimensional expansion increases the heating surface area without significantly complicating the manufacturing process
2Quantity of substance
If the heating area is increased to produce more vapor, then the vapor output increases, but the temperature rise becomes slower and heat efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Different heating wires are positioned in different through holes at different locations and heights within the ceramic body. This local differentiation allows each heating wire to independently heat e-liquid in its specific zone, ensuring efficient heat transfer and rapid temperature rise while collectively producing sufficient vapor quantity
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple heating wires operate simultaneously in parallel or series configurations, providing continuous and distributed heating across multiple zones. This continuous heating action ensures both rapid temperature rise and sustained vapor production without interruption or heat loss
