Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic cigarettes experience e-liquid leakage during use, transportation, and storage, which can affect their functionality and usability.
Innovation Solution
An electronic cigarette design featuring a power device with a liquid accumulating member that includes a cavity to store e-liquid leakage, preventing it from entering the power device and ensuring continuous operation by integrating an air pressure sensor to control the atomization process only when the user inhales, thus maintaining functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the electronic cigarette is designed with a compact structure for portability, then the device size is reduced, but e-liquid leakage more easily affects the battery and internal components
Solution Approach 1:
A liquid accumulating member is introduced as an intermediary component between the atomizing device and the power device. This member includes a liquid storage cavity that intercepts and stores e-liquid before it can reach the battery and internal components, thereby protecting the device from leakage damage while maintaining a compact structure
Solution Approach 2:
The device is divided into functionally independent segments: the atomizing device, the liquid accumulating member, and the power device. The liquid accumulating member is positioned as a separate protective layer, allowing e-liquid to be collected in a dedicated cavity without compromising the integrity of the battery or other sensitive components
2Reliability
If the liquid accumulating member is added to prevent e-liquid leakage, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid accumulating member is designed to perform multiple functions: it stores leaked e-liquid, prevents the liquid from reaching the battery, and can be integrated into the existing device structure without requiring complete redesign. This multi-functional approach improves reliability while minimizing the increase in device complexity
