Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If cigarette liquid is transferred through communication part of liquid transfer part, then liquid can be supplied to atomization component, but liquid infiltration amount cannot be precisely controlled causing uneven distribution and leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the liquid transfer part movable rather than fixed. The liquid transfer part can move relative to the atomization component to precisely control the communication opening between them. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows precise control over liquid infiltration amount and uniform distribution, solving the problem of uncontrolled liquid supply and leakage while maintaining adequate liquid supply to the atomization component.
2Productivity
If fixed heating power is used, then device structure is simple, but vapor production is insufficient and heating speed cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing variable heating power control. The heating element's power consumption is adjusted dynamically based on atomization needs. This allows the heating speed to be increased to match liquid supply rate, thereby improving vapor production speed while maintaining a relatively simple device structure through intelligent power management rather than complex hardware additions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the power consumption parameter of the heating element. By changing the electrical power parameter dynamically, the heating speed can be adjusted to match the liquid supply rate, thereby improving vapor production efficiency without requiring fundamental changes to the heating system structure.
3Reliability
If liquid transfer part is fixed, then assembly is simple, but liquid leakage occurs when liquid receiving part becomes saturated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the fixed liquid transfer part into a movable one. The liquid transfer part can dynamically adjust its position and the size of the communication opening with the atomization component. This dynamic capability allows the system to prevent liquid leakage by controlling liquid flow when the liquid receiving part becomes saturated, while avoiding excessive structural complexity through straightforward mechanical design.

Implementation Method 1
the cigarette liquid in the liquid container 52 can be absorbed to or infiltrate to the liquid receiving part 42
Implementation Method 2
when the mouthpiece 9 stays in the upright position vertical to the ground, the cigarette liquid continuously moves from the liquid container 52 to the liquid receiving part 42 under the force of gravity
Implementation Method 3
the driving module 2 provides electric power to the electrode ring 8 to activate the electric heater 41 to perform the heating operation
Implementation Method 4
the electric heater 41 is activated and then performs a heating operation. Consequently, the cigarette liquid absorbed to or infiltrate to the liquid receiving part 42 is heated and atomized by the electric heater 41
Implementation Method 5
the electric circuit of the electronic cigarette is selectively enabled or disabled according to the result of sensing the airflow by the sensing unit 3
