Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic cigarettes face difficulties in replacing the atomization core and experience unwanted e-liquid leakage due to the fixed communication between the atomizing assembly and battery assembly, which complicates volume flow rate regulation.

Innovation Solution

The electronic cigarette design includes a detachable atomizing assembly with a regulating ring and stop pins, allowing for simplified dismantling and replacement, and an e-liquid feeder with improved sealing mechanisms to prevent e-liquid leakage during vapor flow rate adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the atomizing assembly is fixedly connected to the battery assembly, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of replacing the atomization core deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of replacing atomization core
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic cigarette is divided into separable modules: the atomizing assembly and the battery assembly. The atomizing assembly can be detached from the battery assembly, allowing users to replace only the atomization core without replacing the entire device. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling easy replacement while maintaining structural integrity during use through proper connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of repair

If the atomizing assembly is detachable from the battery assembly, then the ease of replacing the atomization core is improved, but the structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of replacing atomization coreVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The device is segmented into replaceable atomizing assembly and permanent battery assembly, connected through standardized interfaces that ensure both ease of replacement and structural stability during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection interface between the atomizing assembly and battery assembly is designed with universal compatibility, allowing the same interface to serve both as a structural connector and as a electrical connection point, ensuring stability while enabling replacement.

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

3Ease of operation

If the atomization core is movable for volume flow rate regulation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to potential e-liquid leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of regulating vapor volume flow rateVSAvoidprevention of e-liquid leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A sealing structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the movable atomization core and the e-liquid reservoir. This sealing mechanism ensures that when the atomization core is moved to regulate vapor flow, the e-liquid remains contained and cannot leak, thus maintaining reliability while preserving operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
