Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizers face issues with unstable e-liquid guide rate, prone to immersion or dry burning, and poor user experience due to inconvenient control mechanisms, along with risks of e-liquid flow during tilting and complex, costly child lock mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing sheet assembly with a flaky e-liquid guide member passing through an elastic atomizing seat's through hole, allowing adjustable e-liquid flow and preventing immersion, combined with a support system to manage e-liquid during tilting and a simplified child lock mechanism using a rotating assembly and locking mechanism for secure e-liquid filling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional e-liquid guide member structure is used, then the atomizer can be assembled, but the e-liquid guide rate is unstable and the atomizing sheet is prone to immersion or dry burning
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing seat is designed with elastic material that can dynamically adjust the compression degree of the e-liquid guide member by changing the through hole size. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the system to adapt to different operating conditions, stabilizing the e-liquid guide rate and preventing immersion or dry burning of the atomizing sheet.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical parameter of the through hole size in the atomizing seat to control the e-liquid guide rate. By adjusting the compression degree of the e-liquid guide member through the elastic deformation of the atomizing seat, the system achieves stable e-liquid flow without requiring complex external control mechanisms.
2Device complexity
If the atomizing sheet is directly communicated with air outlet through air outlet channel, then the structure is simple, but e-liquid flows out during tilting and scalds user's mouth
Solution Approach 1:
A support structure is introduced as an intermediary component between the atomizing sheet and the air outlet channel. This support structure includes a cavity that receives excess e-liquid during tilting, preventing it from flowing directly to the air outlet channel and scalding the user's mouth.
Solution Approach 2:
The air outlet path is segmented into two parts: the original air outlet channel and a new cavity in the support structure. The cavity acts as an intermediate storage space that intercepts e-liquid during tilting, separating the e-liquid flow path from the air outlet to prevent scalding.
3Reliability
If a spring-based child lock mechanism is used, then the atomizer can be locked, but the spring has limited service life and the structure is complicated and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the expensive spring-based child lock mechanism with a simpler, more durable mechanical locking structure using a lock ring and limiting ring. This new structure eliminates the need for springs, reducing component failure rates and lowering manufacturing costs while maintaining reliable child lock functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring component is extracted and removed from the child lock mechanism. Instead of using a spring-based system, the invention employs a direct mechanical interlocking mechanism between the lock ring and limiting ring, simplifying the structure and improving reliability by eliminating the spring's limited service life issue.
4Quantity of substance
If the e-liquid filling hole is opened for filling, then e-liquid can be filled into the compartment, but the operation is cumbersome and user experience is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The e-liquid filling hole is designed with a rotating cover that can dynamically open and close. This rotating mechanism allows users to easily access the filling hole when needed and automatically seal it afterward, making the filling operation simple and improving overall user experience.
