Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional cigarettes are used, then smoking experience is provided, but harmful substances are inhaled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveharmful substances inhaledVSAvoidsmoking experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes harmful substances from the smoking system by replacing traditional tobacco combustion with an electronic atomization system that uses a solution containing nicotine and flavoring agents, eliminating tar, carbon monoxide, and other harmful combustion products while preserving the smoking experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary electronic atomization system that delivers nicotine and flavor without the harmful effects of traditional combustion, using a heating element to vaporize a controlled solution rather than burning tobacco

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If existing alternative products are used, then harm reduction is achieved, but flavor and taste are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveharm reductionVSAvoidflavor and taste quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by incorporating specific flavoring agents and aromatic compounds into the atomization solution, creating localized flavor enhancement in different regions of the vapor cloud to provide authentic smoking-like taste and aroma while maintaining harm reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining nicotine, flavoring agents, and carrier substances in a specially formulated solution that delivers both harm reduction benefits and authentic flavor experience through controlled atomization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Duration of action of moving object

If smoke solution is stored for long term, then availability is improved, but quality and freshness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage durationVSAvoidquality and freshness
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by formulating the smoke solution with stabilizing agents and preserving compounds before storage, and by designing a sealed atomization system that prevents contamination and degradation during long-term storage, ensuring quality and freshness are maintained

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates an inert environment by sealing the smoke solution in a protected atmosphere within the cartridge system, preventing oxidation and chemical degradation that would otherwise occur during long-term storage, thereby maintaining quality and freshness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #39Inert atmosphere (Inert environment)

4Duration of action of stationary object

If atomization device is made durable, then service life is improved, but construction cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoidconstruction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the system into a reusable durable atomization device and replaceable consumable cartridges, allowing the expensive durable component to be manufactured once and used repeatedly, while the cheaper cartridges are replaced, thus managing construction cost effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves universality by designing the durable atomization device with a standardized interface that can accommodate multiple cartridge types, allowing a single durable unit to serve multiple functions and flavors over time, justifying the higher construction cost through extended service life and versatility

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