Detachable Electric Cigarette Modular Atomizer and Magnetic Shell
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic cigarettes face difficulties in replacing the atomizer core, disassembling the battery cell without damaging insulation layers, refilling tobacco, and replacing the shell.
Innovation Solution
The electronic cigarette design includes a modular atomizing assembly with grooved connectors for easy atomizer replacement, a disassembly mechanism for the battery cell that prevents damage to insulation layers, and a refillable tobacco system with adjustable airflow, featuring sealing rings and a magnetic shell for secure assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the atomizer core is integrated into the main body, then the device structure is simplified, but the atomizer core becomes difficult to replace
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing assembly is divided into separable components: the atomizer core can be detached from the main body through the upper connector and lower connector interface. The upper connector with grooves and the lower connector with corresponding features enable easy separation and reassembly, allowing the atomizer core to be replaced without damaging the overall device structure.
2Ease of operation
If the battery cell is disassembled for replacement, then battery replacement is enabled, but the protection and insulation layers on the outer layer of the battery cell are damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cell is extracted as a complete, intact unit from the device. The battery replacement mechanism allows the entire battery cell to be removed and replaced without disassembling the battery cell itself, thereby preserving the protection and insulation layers on the battery cell outer layer while still enabling battery replacement functionality.
3Device complexity
If the shell is made as a single integrated piece, then the device structure is simplified, but the shell becomes difficult to replace
Solution Approach 1:
The shell is segmented into replaceable components that can be separated from the main body. The magnetic connection between the shell and the main body allows the shell to be easily attached and detached, enabling shell replacement while maintaining a simplified integrated appearance when assembled.
4Reliability
If sealing rings are added to prevent tobacco tar from entering the mouthpiece, then sealing performance is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Sealing rings are introduced as intermediary elements between the tobacco storage chamber and the mouthpiece. These sealing rings act as mediators that prevent tobacco tar from entering the mouthpiece while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure. The sealing rings are integrated into existing components rather than adding complex separate systems.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy replacement of the atomizer core, convenient disassembly of the battery cell, and real-time refilling of tobacco, while ensuring tobacco tar is sealed and airflow is adjustable, enhancing user convenience and maintaining the integrity of the device.
Implementation Method 1
Four first magnets each are disposed on the shell. A second magnet is disposed on a plastic carrier. The first magnets are adapted to facilitate shell mounting.

AI summary
An electronic cigarette, including an atomizing assembly and a battery. A first sealing ring is sleeved on an upper connector of atomizing rod. The upper connector is provided with grooves, facilitating a replacement of an atomizer. An atomizing rod is compressed on the upper connector. A threaded copper, a copper circular ring, and a heating wire presser are sleeved on the atomizing rod in that order, and are compressed on a lower connector of atomizing rod. The lower connector is adapted to fix an atomizer core, and the heating wire presser is adapted to support and tighten the atomizer core. The copper circular ring is adapted to ensure uniform forces on the members when the members are closely coordinating.
