Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic cigarettes have limited battery capacity, leading to low heating power, short service life, and e-liquid leakage issues, resulting in short circuits and inconvenience due to bulky designs that require the entire device to be replaced when the atomizer fails or e-liquid runs out.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer design featuring a detachable high-frequency heater that uses an induction coil and control circuit to generate an alternating magnetic field, heating the atomizing core and preventing battery usage, allowing for increased heating power, longer service life, and flexible device use without risk of short circuits from e-liquid leakage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If a battery is used to power the heating element, then the device is portable and self-contained, but the battery capacity is limited resulting in low heating power and short service life
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the battery from the atomizer assembly and places it in a separate external power supply device. This allows the atomizer to be powered by a high-capacity battery outside the handheld device, enabling high heating power while extending service life without increasing the size of the portable atomizer unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into two separate components: an atomizer assembly (containing the heating element and atomizing core) and an external power supply device (containing the battery). This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the atomizer remains portable and replaceable, while the power supply can be large and high-capacity.
2Device complexity
If the atomizer is integrated with the battery in a single device, then the structure is compact, but the entire device must be replaced when the atomizer breaks down or e-liquid runs out
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is designed as a separate, detachable assembly that can be independently replaced from the power supply device. The atomizer includes the heating element, atomizing core, and e-liquid reservoir as an integrated unit that connects to the external battery, allowing users to replace only the atomizer when needed without discarding the expensive battery component.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional heating elements are used with limited battery power, then the device is simple to manufacture, but the heating power is insufficient resulting in low smoke production
Solution Approach 1:
By extracting the battery from the atomizer assembly, the invention enables the use of high-power heating elements that would be impossible to power with conventional small batteries. The external high-capacity battery provides sufficient power for high-performance heating elements, dramatically improving smoke production while keeping the atomizer itself simple and manufacturable.
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
The solution provides enhanced heating power, increased smoke production, and extended service life by eliminating battery-related issues, enabling convenient and flexible use of e-cigarettes with replaceable components.
Implementation Method 1
The high-frequency heater comprises an induction coil and a control circuit. When the control circuit is powered on, an alternating magnetic field is generated to induce an alternating current, so that the induction coil is heated by eddy currents
Implementation Method 2
an alternating magnetic field is generated to induce an alternating current, so that the induction coil is heated by eddy currents
Implementation Method 3
The atomizer includes a heating element and an atomizing core for heat conduction. The heating element is directly powered by the battery and generates heat. The atomizing core transfers the heat to the e-liquid, so that the e-liquid is atomized

AI summary
The atomizer includes a housing, and an atomization assembly disposed in the housing. When in use, the atomizer is detachably connected to a high-frequency heater. The atomization assembly includes an atomizing core, a heating element, and a sleeve. The sleeve is connected to and enclosed by the housing, and a cavity is formed between the sleeve and the housing. The atomizing core and the heating element are fixedly disposed in the sleeve. The atomizing core includes a first surface and a second surface which are disposed back to back. The sleeve includes a main body through which e-liquid flows from the cavity into the sleeve and accumulates around the first surface of the atomizing core. The heating element is surrounded by the second surface of the atomizing core.
