Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the LED board and circuit controlling board are integrated together, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability may be compromised due to potential interference between components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the LED board and circuit controlling board into a single unified structure. The LED light, airflow switch, and controller are all mounted on the same circuit board, eliminating the need for separate boards and reducing overall device complexity while maintaining functional reliability through proper circuit design and isolation
2Ease of manufacture
If separate wire connections are used to connect power supply device to atomizing device, then the connection is simple to implement, but the device complexity increases and user safety is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the external wire connections from the system by integrating the electrode connectors directly into the power supply device housing. The positive and negative electrode connectors are built-in components that directly interface with the atomizing device, removing the need for separate external wiring while maintaining ease of assembly
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply device housing serves multiple functions: it contains the battery, provides structural support, and integrates the electrode connectors as built-in components. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate wire connection components, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining ease of manufacturing

Function Achieved in This Case
This solution results in a compact, reliable, and cost-effective power supply with enhanced airflow sensitivity, providing a realistic smoking experience without the complexity of separate wire connections and improved user safety.
Implementation Method 1
a silica gel sleeve is provided between the controlling board and the internal wall of the battery sleeve. The utility model is advantageous in that the power supply device is electrically connected with the atomizing device through the electrode connectors, so that the wire for connecting the power supply device to the atomizing device is no longer necessary... Otherwise, the power supply device of the utility model improves the sensitivity of the airflow switch due to the sealing effect of the silica gel sleeve
Implementation Method 2
When the atomizing device is supplied by the power supply device, a LED light of the power supply device will be illumined to simulate the scene of cigarette combustion
Implementation Method 3
a power supply device of an electronic cigarette comprising a battery and a control board installed inside a battery sleeve
