Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple heating elements are used to increase smoke output, then the smoke quantity is improved, but the atomizing liquid supply becomes insufficient due to unreasonable layout
Solution Approach 1:
The atomization cavity is divided into a first atomization cavity and a second atomization cavity, with each cavity containing its own heating element. This segmentation allows independent liquid supply paths and heating zones, ensuring that each heating element has sufficient atomizing liquid while collectively producing adequate smoke output.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid storage component is positioned to preferentially supply atomizing liquid to the first atomization cavity, creating different liquid supply conditions in different regions. The first heating element is specifically designed to receive sufficient liquid supply from the liquid storage component, while the second heating element operates with appropriate liquid levels, ensuring reliable operation throughout.
2Volume of moving object
If heating elements are densely arranged to reduce device size, then the device compactness is improved, but liquid supply to each heating element becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes three-dimensional spatial arrangement within the atomization cavity, positioning heating elements at different locations and orientations. The liquid storage component is strategically placed to supply liquid through multiple paths, effectively utilizing vertical and horizontal dimensions to ensure adequate liquid distribution without increasing overall device volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The heating elements are nested within the atomization cavity, which itself is contained within the housing. The liquid storage component is positioned to nest efficiently alongside the heating elements, creating a compact layered structure where each component occupies optimal space while maintaining functional independence and adequate liquid supply pathways.
