Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic cigarettes have non-refillable cartomizers and integrated atomizers, which are difficult to replace when they break down, and often use seals that are cumbersome to install and maintain.
Innovation Solution
An electronic cigarette design featuring a rotatable ring to adjust air and vapor volume, a refillable cartomizer, and a detachable atomizer, with seals and a silicone base for easy installation and replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the air passage is fixed, then the structure is simple, but the user cannot adjust the volume of air and vapor
Solution Approach 1:
The air passage is designed as a rotatable ring structure that can rotate around the atomizer, dynamically changing the cross-sectional area of the air passage. This allows the user to adjust the volume of air and vapor by rotating the ring to different positions, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to user needs.
2Ease of repair
If the atomizer is fixed to the cartomizer, then the structure is stable, but the atomizer cannot be replaced or cleaned
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is designed as a separate, replaceable component that can be independently removed from the cartomizer. The air passage ring can be detached from the atomizer body, allowing users to replace or clean the atomizer without disassembling the entire device, thus maintaining connection stability while enabling easy maintenance.
3Productivity
If the air passage cross-sectional area is large, then the air and vapor flow is smooth, but the device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable ring structure allows the air passage cross-sectional area to be dynamically adjusted. When high flow efficiency is needed, the ring can be positioned to maximize the opening area. When device compactness is prioritized, the ring can be rotated to reduce the effective area, thus optimizing the balance between flow efficiency and device size based on usage conditions.
