Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarette atomizers are complex to assemble and prone to detachment due to their discrete functional parts, which require external forces or additional physical structures for integration.
Innovation Solution
A composite ceramic atomizer is formed integrally through a glazing and sealing process, where a first main body with a heating carrier and conductive path is joined to a second main body for liquid transmission via a glazed surface, with the conductive path printed and fired in a reducing atmosphere to create a resistance heating layer, enhancing heat utilization and atomizing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If discrete functional parts are used for atomizer construction, then manufacturing flexibility is improved, but assembly complexity increases and reliability deteriorates due to detachment risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple discrete functional parts (heating element, liquid distribution structure, support components) into a single integrated ceramic atomizer body. The ceramic substrate integrates the liquid distribution channel, heating element mounting structure, and structural support functions into one unified component, eliminating the need for separate parts and their associated assembly steps. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining manufacturing flexibility through integrated ceramic forming while dramatically improving reliability by eliminating assembly detachment risks.
Solution Approach 2:
The ceramic atomizer body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the structural support framework, the liquid distribution system, the heating element substrate, and the thermal insulation barrier. This multi-functional integration eliminates the need for separate components for each function, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining the flexibility of ceramic manufacturing processes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple discrete parts are assembled together, then functional specialization is improved, but device complexity increases and manufacturing precision requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple specialized functions into a single ceramic atomizer body that integrates the liquid distribution network, heating element mounting structure, and structural support functions. This merging approach maintains functional specialization through dedicated ceramic-forming techniques for each functional zone while eliminating the complexity of assembling multiple separate parts.
3Use of energy by moving object
If heating element is positioned closer to liquid supply, then heat utilization efficiency is improved, but risk of carbonization and frying increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating distinct thermal zones within the ceramic atomizer body. The ceramic material provides localized thermal management: closer to the liquid supply, the ceramic maintains lower temperatures to prevent carbonization, while closer to the heating element, the ceramic withstands higher temperatures for efficient vaporization. This spatial variation in thermal properties optimizes both heat utilization efficiency and prevents harmful carbonization effects.
