E-Cigarette Light Diffusion Structure to Eliminate Glare
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarettes emit light directly towards the user's eyes, causing a glaring bright spot and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
The electronic cigarette incorporates a light diffusion member inside the light-transmitting bottom cover to guide light emitted by the light source, preventing direct emission and reducing glare.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the light source directly emits light through the light-transmitting bottom cover, then the lighting effect is strong and visible, but the user sees a glaring bright spot which deteriorates user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a light diffusing member as an intermediary between the light source and the light-transmitting bottom cover. This diffusing member scatters the concentrated light into multiple directions, maintaining illumination intensity while eliminating the glaring bright spot effect that directly harms user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the optical parameters of light transmission by introducing a diffusing member that alters light distribution characteristics. The diffusing member transforms concentrated direct light into scattered diffuse light, changing the illumination pattern from a focused bright spot to a distributed light field that maintains visibility without glare.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a light diffusion member is added to guide light emission, then user experience is improved by preventing glaring bright spots, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a light diffusing member that can be implemented as a thin film or flexible component within the bottom cover structure. This approach adds minimal structural complexity while effectively achieving light diffusion. The diffusing member integrates seamlessly into the existing bottom cover design, requiring only simple assembly without complex mechanical structures.
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
Prevents users from seeing a glaring bright spot, enhancing user experience by ensuring light is diffused before exiting the device.
Implementation Method 1
the light diffusion member is located inside the light-transmitting bottom cover and is configured to guide light of the light source to be emitted out of the light-transmitting bottom cover
