Electronic Cigarette Nozzle with Beveled Hermetic Ring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic cigarettes suffer from smoke oil residue accumulation in the nozzle, leading to a compromised taste experience for users due to partial liquefaction of vapor when it passes through a cooler airflow passage.
Innovation Solution
An electronic cigarette nozzle design featuring a hermetic ring with a concave chamber and through holes, along with a nozzle cover and ribbed structure, ensures that smoke oil residue is eliminated by allowing it to flow out via the through holes, preventing users from inhaling oil and enhancing taste experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the airflow passage in the nozzle is kept simple and cool, then the device structure is simple, but smoke oil partially liquefies and accumulates as residue affecting taste
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle is divided into multiple functional sections: a cooling section with cooling holes to lower vapor temperature, a separation chamber with ribs to facilitate smoke oil-liquid separation, and an airflow passage. This segmentation allows each section to perform its specific function effectively, preventing residue accumulation while maintaining structural organization.
Solution Approach 2:
A three-dimensional separation chamber is introduced with ribs extending in multiple directions, creating a multi-dimensional structure that enhances the separation of smoke oil from vapor. The ribs form multiple separation planes that increase the effective separation area without significantly increasing the overall nozzle footprint.
2Temperature
If the nozzle cools the vapor effectively, then atomization is improved, but smoke oil liquefies and remains in the passage
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful component (smoke oil residue) is extracted from the vapor flow through the separation chamber with ribs. The ribs create separation surfaces that allow liquefied smoke oil to be separated and collected in a reservoir, preventing it from being inhaled and thus removing the harmful substance from the delivery path.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the nozzle are given different thermal characteristics: the cooling section has cooling holes to reduce temperature, while the separation chamber is designed with ribs that promote liquid separation. This local differentiation of functional properties allows effective cooling without causing excessive smoke oil condensation in the airflow path.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If a separation chamber with ribs is added to the nozzle, then smoke oil residue is eliminated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The separation chamber with ribs is merged with the existing nozzle structure, integrating multiple functions (cooling, separation, and residue collection) into a single integrated component. This reduces the need for separate auxiliary devices and minimizes the overall increase in device complexity while achieving effective smoke oil residue elimination.
