Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional atomizers made of plastic or metal materials emit unpleasant smells and are not environmentally friendly when air flow and smoke pass through them, posing health risks to users.

Innovation Solution

A ceramic atomizer design featuring a mouthpiece, atomizing rod, and ceramic core made of ceramic and zirconia composite materials, with a copper base for fixation, providing a healthy and eco-friendly alternative by using ceramic and zirconia materials for the mouthpiece and atomizing rod, and incorporating a ceramic core with heating wires and a glass tube for e-liquid storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If plastic or metal materials are used for the mouthpiece and atomizing rod, then the device structure is simple and manufacturing is easy, but unpleasant smells are generated and health risks arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidunpleasant smell and health risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining ceramic materials (for the atomizing rod and mouthpiece) with a metal base and ceramic core. This composite structure eliminates the harmful effects of plastic while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through standardized ceramic components and assembly processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If ceramic materials are used for the mouthpiece and atomizing rod, then health risks and unpleasant smells are eliminated, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunpleasant smell and health riskVSAvoidease of manufacture
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizer is segmented into distinct functional components: a ceramic atomizing rod, a ceramic core, a metal base, and a mouthpiece. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured using optimized processes for its material type and then assembled, reducing overall manufacturing complexity while maintaining the health benefits of ceramic materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If a ceramic core is fixed on a ceramic base in the atomizing rod, then structural stability and durability are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The ceramic core is merged with the ceramic base through fixed connection, creating a unified stable structure within the atomizing rod. This merging eliminates relative movement between components, enhancing structural stability and reliability while the integrated design minimizes the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
