Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarettes face issues with incomplete e-liquid combustion, overburning, small smoke volume, and slow smoke flow due to the vertical orientation of the heating wire and bottom loading of e-liquid, affecting the taste of the smoke.
Innovation Solution
An electronic cigarette design featuring a detachable atomization core assembly with a vertically disposed heating wire, a cigarette holder converter assembly, and an e-liquid storage assembly that allows e-liquid loading from the top and gas flow regulation at both the top and bottom parts, utilizing stainless steel heating wire and organic cotton for efficient e-liquid guidance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the heating wire is disposed vertically and e-liquid is loaded from the bottom, then the device structure is simple, but the e-liquid cannot fully contact the heating wire resulting in incomplete combustion and small smoke volume
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional e-liquid loading direction from bottom to top. The e-liquid storage assembly is positioned at the top of the device, allowing e-liquid to flow downward through the atomization core assembly where the heating wire is horizontally disposed. This inversion enables better contact between e-liquid and heating wire surface, improving combustion efficiency and smoke volume without significantly increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The heating wire is changed from vertical orientation to horizontal orientation, perpendicular to the gas flow direction. This dimensional change allows e-liquid to flow over and fully contact the heating wire surface from multiple directions, enhancing the atomization efficiency and smoke production while maintaining a compact device structure
2Device complexity
If the heating wire is disposed vertically, then the device structure is simple, but the e-liquid is over burned producing scorched smell
Solution Approach 1:
By inverting the e-liquid loading direction to top-down flow and changing the heating wire orientation to horizontal, the patent ensures more uniform heat distribution across the e-liquid. This prevents localized overheating and overburning that causes scorched smell, while maintaining structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements gas flow regulation rings at both the top and bottom parts of the device, allowing different gas flow rates to be applied at different locations. This local quality control ensures optimal oxygen supply for complete combustion without excessive heat that would cause overburning and scorched smell
3Device complexity
If the heating wire is disposed vertically, then the device structure is simple, but the smoke flow is slow affecting the taste
Solution Approach 1:
Changing the heating wire from vertical to horizontal orientation, perpendicular to the gas flow direction, creates a more efficient atomization pathway. This dimensional change allows smoke to be generated and propelled more effectively through the device, increasing smoke flow speed and improving taste delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates gas flow regulation rings at the top and bottom of the device that can be independently adjusted. By optimizing the gas flow rate at each location, the system achieves faster smoke flow speed and better vaporization efficiency without complicating the overall device structure
