Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing box-style electronic cigarettes with automatic activation sensors are not detachable, leading to waste when the sensors fail due to their short lifespan.
Innovation Solution
An automatic trigger module comprising a sensor, circuit board, and sealing seat, allowing for detachable connection to the control board, enabling easy replacement and maintaining seal integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sensor is integrated into the electronic cigarette housing, then the automatic activation function is achieved, but the sensor cannot be replaced when it fails
Solution Approach 1:
The automatic trigger module is divided into separate components: the sensor, circuit board, and sealing seat. The sensor is mounted on the circuit board which is detachably connected to the sealing seat, allowing the sensor to be replaced independently when it fails, while maintaining the automatic activation function.
2Ease of repair
If the sensor is made detachable for easy replacement, then the repairability is improved, but the sealing performance may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board serves as an intermediary component between the sensor and the sealing seat. It provides a detachable connection interface that allows the sensor to be replaced while maintaining the sealing integrity of the overall structure through the sealing seat's design.
3Device complexity
If the automatic trigger module is designed as an integral structure, then the assembly is simplified, but the sensor cannot be replaced when it fails
Solution Approach 1:
The automatic trigger module is segmented into the sensor, circuit board, and sealing seat as separate but connected components. This segmentation allows the module to maintain a relatively simple overall structure while enabling the sensor to be replaced by detaching the circuit board from the sealing seat.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The detachable automatic trigger module allows for the electronic cigarette to remain functional by enabling sensor replacement, overcoming the issue of sensor failure and ensuring convenient assembly and seal performance.
Implementation Method 1
When the first end and the second end in different air pressure states, the sensor can generate a high potential signal
