Dual E-Liquid Collector Atomizer Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional atomizers experience e-liquid leakage due to condensation and accumulation in air channels, leading to poor user experience and reduced service life.
Innovation Solution
The atomizer incorporates a dual e-liquid collector system, comprising a first collector under the heating assembly and a second collector to store overflow, with concave portions and e-liquid guide parts to direct condensed e-liquid flow, preventing leakage through the air inlet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional atomizers are used, then the structure is simple, but e-liquid leaks through the air inlet or air channel
Solution Approach 1:
The e-liquid collection function is segmented into two separate collectors: a first e-liquid collector positioned near the heating assembly to catch condensed e-liquid, and a second e-liquid collector positioned below the first to catch overflow. This segmentation allows each collector to handle specific portions of e-liquid flow, preventing leakage while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Productivity
If e-liquid is condensed and accumulated in the air channel, then the atomization process continues, but e-liquid flows through the air inlet and leaks outside
Solution Approach 1:
The dual e-liquid collector system acts as an intermediary between the air channel and the external environment. The first collector intercepts condensed e-liquid before it can flow through the air inlet, and the second collector captures any overflow, thereby preventing e-liquid loss while allowing the atomization process to continue uninterrupted.
3Ease of manufacture
If the first e-liquid collector is positioned far from the heating assembly, then it is easier to manufacture, but condensed e-liquid cannot be collected effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The first e-liquid collector is positioned locally near the heating assembly where condensed e-liquid first accumulates, maximizing collection effectiveness. The second e-liquid collector is positioned below to handle overflow. This localized positioning ensures effective e-liquid capture while maintaining ease of manufacture through straightforward structural integration.

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 dual collector system effectively prevents e-liquid leakage, enhancing e-liquid utilization and extending the atomizer's service life by ensuring condensed e-liquid is contained within the atomizer.
Implementation Method 1
a heating assembly, a first e-liquid collector, and a second e-liquid collector. The first e-liquid collector and the second e-liquid collector are disposed under the heating assembly
Implementation Method 2
The condensed e-liquid easily flows through the air inlet or the air channel, and leaks outside the atomizer
