Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate air vents and charging ports are used, then ventilation and charging functions are independent, but device complexity increases and production cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the air vent and charging port into a single integrated structure. The charging port is positioned within the air vent opening, allowing both ventilation and charging functions to share the same structural space. This merging eliminates the need for separate openings while maintaining functional independence through spatial arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The air vent structure is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides ventilation for the battery compartment and simultaneously houses the charging port for electrical connection. This multi-functional design allows a single structure to fulfill both airflow and charging requirements, reducing overall device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If separate air vents and charging ports are used, then each function has dedicated access, but production efficiency decreases and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the charging port within the air vent structure, the patent reduces the number of separate components that need to be manufactured and assembled. This consolidation simplifies the production process, reduces assembly steps, and improves manufacturing efficiency while maintaining dedicated access points for both functions.
3Volume of moving object
If the input terminal is closely positioned to the air inlet wall, then structural space is optimized, but charging functionality may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the input terminal at a specific distance from the air inlet wall, creating an optimized local configuration. This spacing ensures adequate space for electrical connection while maintaining compact overall structure. The local quality of the terminal positioning balances space utilization with reliable charging functionality.

AI summary
The embodiments of the present disclosure provides an electronic cigarette and an electronic cigarette stem comprising a battery box, a bottom cover and a charging connection module. The battery box forms a first accommodating cavity, and both ends of it are respectively provided with an air outlet and a first through hole. The bottom cover and the battery box form a second accommodating cavity. The charging connection module is in the second accommodating cavity; an output terminal is arranged in the first accommodating cavity through the first through hole; an input terminal is connected to an external power supply through an air inlet. The air inlet, the second accommodating cavity, the first through hole, the first accommodating cavity and the air outlet form an airflow channel connecting an atomizer. Using the air inlet for both air admission and charging can simplify structure, improve production efficiency and reduce production cost.
