Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional atomizers are used with different liquids, then the atomizer can be used with various compositions, but the atomizer becomes clogged with residue and cannot be properly sized for different viscosities
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate modular components: a reusable vaporization chamber and detachable cartridges containing the atomizer and liquid reservoir. This segmentation allows the atomizer to be dedicated to a specific liquid type, preventing cross-contamination and clogging while maintaining versatility through cartridge interchangeability.
Solution Approach 2:
The atomizer is integrated into a disposable cartridge that is discarded after use with a specific liquid composition. This eliminates the need to clean and maintain the atomizer between different liquid types, preventing residue contamination and ensuring reliable performance with each liquid formulation.
2Productivity
If traditional vaping devices are used, then they can dispense compositions, but they do not provide a means for quickly and cleanly interchanging different types of compositions
Solution Approach 1:
The separation of the liquid reservoir and atomizer into a single disposable cartridge unit allows for quick interchange without disassembling multiple components. The cartridge is designed as a self-contained module that can be rapidly attached and detached from the vaporization chamber.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid reservoir and atomizer are extracted as a single removable cartridge unit, eliminating the need to manually transfer liquid between containers or clean the atomizer. This extraction enables clean, rapid switching between different composition types without residue contamination.
3Quantity of substance
If oil-based reservoirs are used, then they can contain the liquid composition, but they diffuse oil which contaminates lung tissue
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables users to change the chemical composition parameter of the liquid from oil-based to water-based formulations. The atomizer and cartridge are designed to accommodate water-based liquids, eliminating the harmful diffusion of oil while maintaining effective liquid storage and vaporization capabilities.
