Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional ceramic atomizers suffer from e-liquid deposition on the heating wire, leading to stains and potentially affecting performance.

Innovation Solution

The ceramic atomizer design features a ceramic core with a concave bottom end and a heating wire secured to it, where the wire is configured as a disk or multiple alloy wires in parallel or series, ensuring e-liquid does not directly contact the heating wire, thereby preventing stain formation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If the heating wire is directly exposed in the ceramic core, then the heating efficiency is improved, but e-liquid deposits on the heating wire forming stains

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating efficiencyVSAvoidstain formation
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a ceramic plate as an intermediary layer between the heating wire and the e-liquid. The heating wire is secured to the ceramic plate, which is positioned at the bottom end of the ceramic core. This mediator allows heat transfer to occur while preventing direct contact between the e-liquid and heating wire, thus eliminating stain formation while maintaining heating efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the heating wire is secured to the ceramic core, then the structural stability is improved, but the e-liquid can still contact the heating wire

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoide-liquid contact
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The ceramic plate serves as a mediator that provides both structural support and physical separation. The heating wire is secured to the ceramic plate, maintaining structural stability, while the plate itself prevents e-liquid from reaching the heating wire.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the spatial arrangement by introducing a bottom-end positioning structure. The ceramic plate is located at the bottom end of the ceramic core, creating a dimensional separation that prevents e-liquid contact while maintaining heating functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If a ceramic plate is introduced to separate the heating wire from e-liquid, then stain formation is prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestain formationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The ceramic plate performs multiple functions simultaneously: it serves as a support structure for the heating wire, acts as a thermal conductor to transfer heat, and functions as a barrier to prevent e-liquid contact. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby minimizing the increase in device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The invention merges the support function and the barrier function into a single ceramic plate component. Instead of having separate support structures and barrier layers, the ceramic plate combines both functions, simplifying the overall structure while achieving the desired separation effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
