Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If liquid conduction through ceramic is used, then liquid transfer rate is improved, but liquid supply insufficiency occurs leading to core burning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid transfer rateVSAvoidliquid supply sufficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid passage channel is divided into multiple segments: external liquid entry, ceramic body passage, ceramic liquid-absorption core, and atomization surface. This segmentation allows liquid to be delivered more efficiently through each stage while ensuring sufficient supply to prevent core burning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The ceramic liquid-absorption core acts as an intermediary between the liquid passage channel and the atomization surface. It absorbs and stores liquid temporarily, ensuring continuous supply to the atomization surface even when external liquid flow fluctuates, thus preventing core burning while maintaining high transfer rate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If direct liquid passage channel is implemented, then liquid conduction efficiency is improved, but structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid conduction efficiencyVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid passage channel is merged directly into the ceramic body structure, eliminating the need for separate external liquid delivery components. This integration achieves high liquid conduction efficiency while avoiding additional structural complexity from separate assemblies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The ceramic body serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, contains the liquid passage channel, houses the liquid-absorption core, and supports the atomization surface. This multi-functionality reduces overall device complexity while maintaining efficient liquid conduction.

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