Electronic Cigarette Heating Wire with Copper Ring for Heat Dissipation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cigarette substitutes fail to replicate the sensory experience of smoking, such as 'pumping', 'exhaling', and 'puffing', and do not provide an effective peak concentration of nicotine, leading to dissatisfaction among smokers.
Innovation Solution
An electronic cigarette design featuring a silica gel mouthpiece, a nickel-chrome and copper heating wire, a threaded copper ring, a silicate ring, an insulating ring, filter cotton, and a fluid stop ring, which allows for enjoyable smoking-like actions and enhanced heat dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional cigarette substitutes (patches, mouthwash, gum, drink) are used to avoid tar harm, then health safety is improved, but nicotine absorption efficiency deteriorates and smoking satisfaction is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional chemical absorption methods (patches, gum, mouthwash) with a thermal vaporization system. The heating wire heats the atomization liquid to generate inhalable vapor, substituting passive chemical absorption with active thermal-mechanical vapor generation that replicates traditional smoking behavior while avoiding tar formation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes phase transition of the atomization liquid from liquid to vapor through heating. The heating wire raises the temperature of the atomization liquid to its vaporization point, generating inhalable vapor that delivers nicotine efficiently to the user, solving the problem of ineffective nicotine delivery in conventional substitutes.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If conventional cigarette substitutes are used to eliminate tar, then environmental pollution is reduced, but the smoking experience (pumping, exhaling, puffing actions) is deprived
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces passive chemical delivery systems with an active thermal vaporization system that requires user inhalation actions. The heating wire generates vapor that users inhale through the mouthpiece, naturally restoring the pumping, exhaling, and puffing actions characteristic of traditional smoking, while producing no tar or pollution.
3Power
If a heating wire made of nickel-chrome is used, then electrical resistance and heat generation are improved, but heat dissipation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite heating wire structure combining nickel-chrome (for high electrical resistance and heat generation) with copper (for excellent thermal and electrical conductivity). This composite configuration balances heat generation and heat dissipation, allowing the heating element to reach necessary temperatures for vaporization while efficiently managing thermal energy to prevent overheating and energy waste.

AI summary
An electronic cigarette including a mouthpiece, a bracket for the mouthpiece, an atomization pole including a threaded copper ring, a silicate ring, a heating wire, a joint, an insulating ring, a filter cotton, and a fluid stop ring. The mouthpiece is made of silica gel and is connected with the atomization pole via the bracket. The heating wire is electrically welded using nickel-chrome as a material. The heating wire is spiral. One end of the threaded copper ring is connected with the joint. The insulating ring is disposed between the thread ring and the joint. The silicate ring is disposed between the filter cotton and the threaded copper ring. The fluid stop ring is disposed between the bracket and the heating wire for preventing the leakage of fluid.
