Solution Overview

Problem

Existing atomizers have integrated structures that prevent users from replacing the atomization substrate and power supply unit, leading to a poor user experience when the power supply unit's power is depleted, requiring the entire atomizer to be discarded.

Innovation Solution

A housing structure with a detachable design, allowing the first housing to be disengaged from the second housing, and enabling the first and second operating modules to be detachably connected, facilitating the replacement of modules and improving user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If an integrated structure is used for the atomizer, then the structural simplicity and manufacturing ease are improved, but the adaptability and user experience deteriorate because modules cannot be replaced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidmodule replaceability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizer is divided into multiple detachable modules including a first housing containing a control unit, a second housing containing a power supply unit, and a chamber containing an atomization unit. These modules can be separately manufactured and then assembled through detachable connections, allowing both ease of manufacture for each module and replaceability of individual components when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If an integrated structure is used for the atomizer, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates when power is depleted requiring entire device disposal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrationVSAvoidmodule replacement convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the atomizer into replaceable modules (control unit housing, power supply housing, atomization chamber), the design maintains operational simplicity while enabling easy replacement of depleted power supplies or worn atomization components without discarding the entire device, thus improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modular design allows users to retain valuable components such as the control unit and atomization chamber while only replacing the depleted power supply unit or worn atomization unit, effectively recovering and reusing functional parts rather than discarding the entire device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Adaptability or versatility

If a detachable housing structure is implemented, then the adaptability and module replacement capability are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodule replaceabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable housing structure divides the atomizer into standardized modules with defined connection interfaces. While this segmentation enables adaptability and replaceability, it introduces additional structural elements such as connection electrodes, sealing components, and alignment features that increase overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control unit housing is designed with universal connection interfaces that can accommodate different types of power supply units and atomization units through standardized connection protocols, allowing one housing structure to support multiple module configurations and reducing the need for multiple specialized components.

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