Elastic Atomizing Base with Through Holes for E-Cigarette Cartridge
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarettes suffer from e-liquid leakage due to vibrations, temperature, or pressure changes, which causes e-liquid to excessively enter the airflow passage, leading to leakage and poor isolation between e-liquid and vapor.
Innovation Solution
The cartridge features an atomizing base made of an elastic material with through holes, where a liquid absorbing member, potentially made of a hard material like a porous ceramic rod, is tightly fitted within these holes, eliminating gaps and preventing e-liquid leakage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the liquid storage chamber and airflow passage are in communication through a liquid guiding rope or gap, then e-liquid can flow to the atomizing area, but vibrations, temperature or pressure changes cause excessive e-liquid to enter the airflow passage causing leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing base is made of elastic material that can deform under vibration, temperature, or pressure changes to maintain sealing against the liquid absorbing member, preventing e-liquid leakage while allowing controlled flow
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic material's deformation characteristics change with environmental conditions (vibration, temperature, pressure), allowing the sealing interface to adapt dynamically and maintain reliable e-liquid containment under varying operating conditions
2Ease of operation
If traditional atomizing bases are used with liquid guiding ropes, then e-liquid can reach the atomizing chamber, but gaps between components cause leakage and poor isolation between e-liquid and vapor
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid absorbing member is integrated directly into the atomizing base through tight fitting in through holes, eliminating separate liquid guiding ropes and gaps, thereby achieving both effective e-liquid delivery and precise isolation between e-liquid and vapor phases
3Quantity of substance
If conventional atomizing bases are used, then e-liquid can flow to the electrode, but assembly complexity increases and leakage occurs at the liquid inlet hole or installation gap
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing base is segmented with through holes that receive the liquid absorbing member, creating modular components that are easier to assemble while maintaining reliable e-liquid distribution and preventing leakage at connection interfaces

Function Achieved in This Case
This design effectively avoids e-liquid leakage, achieves good isolation between e-liquid and vapor, and simplifies the assembly process, enhancing the overall performance and user experience of electronic cigarettes.
Implementation Method 1
the atomizing base is made of an elastic material, the atomizing base is provided with through holes, the liquid absorbing member extends through the through holes, and the liquid absorbing member can be tightly fitted within the through holes of the atomizing base. That is, the inner peripheral wall of the through holes can closely abut against the outer peripheral surface of the two ends of the liquid absorbing member
Implementation Method 2
a liquid absorbing member, potentially made of a hard material like a porous ceramic rod, is tightly fitted within these holes

AI summary
A cartridge includes a liquid storage chamber and an atomizing device. The atomizing device includes an atomizing base and a liquid absorbing member installed in the atomizing base. The atomizing base is provided with an atomizing chamber therein. The atomizing base is made of an elastic material. The atomizing base is provided with a through hole. The liquid absorbing member extends through the through hole, and the inner wall of the through hole closely abuts against the outer wall of the liquid absorbing member to isolate the liquid storage chamber from the atomizing chamber. No gap causing e-liquid leakage is present between the liquid absorbing member and the through hole, thereby effectively preventing e-liquid leakage, achieving good isolation between e-liquid and vapor, and simplifying the assembly process. An electronic cigarette having the cartridge is also provided. The electronic cigarette has the advantages of e-liquid leakage prevention, good isolation between e-liquid and vapor, and simple assembly.
