Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing disposable electronic cigarettes face challenges in configuring a liquid tank due to the small volume of the atomizing core, leading to a limited capacity and service life.
Innovation Solution
The electronic cigarette design includes installation cavities for liquid storage chambers, a liquid passing cavity communicating with the atomizing core, and a joint structure with sealing rings to facilitate assembly and prevent leakage, allowing increased tobacco liquid capacity and extended usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a liquid tank is directly configured to communicate with the atomizing core, then the liquid capacity can be increased, but the small volume of the atomizing core makes direct communication difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a liquid transmission cavity as an intermediary component between the liquid storage chamber and the atomizing core. This cavity acts as a mediator that bridges the gap created by the small atomizing core volume, allowing the liquid storage chamber to communicate with the atomizing core without direct contact. The liquid transmission cavity receives liquid from the storage chamber and transfers it to the atomizing core, solving the configuration difficulty while maintaining increased liquid capacity.
2Volume of moving object
If the atomizing core volume is kept small for compact design, then the device size is reduced, but the liquid tank configuration becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the liquid delivery system into distinct functional components: a liquid storage chamber, a liquid transmission cavity, and an atomizing core. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the atomizing core remains small for compact device size, while the storage chamber can be larger for increased capacity. The segmented design simplifies assembly by allowing each component to be manufactured and tested separately before final integration, improving ease of manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a nested structure where the atomizing core is positioned within or adjacent to the liquid transmission cavity, which in turn is connected to the liquid storage chamber. This nesting arrangement allows the small atomizing core to be accommodated within the larger liquid storage system without increasing overall device volume, while the hierarchical structure simplifies the assembly process by providing clear spatial relationships and mounting interfaces between components.
3Productivity
If a joint structure is added to connect liquid storage chambers with liquid passing chamber, then liquid transfer efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The joint structure connecting the liquid storage chamber and liquid transmission cavity is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical connection, ensures liquid-tight sealing, and maintains proper liquid flow direction. By integrating these multiple functions into a single joint structure, the patent improves liquid transfer efficiency without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the joint serves several purposes at once rather than requiring separate components for each function.
