Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If aerosol is generated and channeled through cavities and channels, then vaporization function is achieved, but aerosol condenses and leaks contaminating user items

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaerosol delivery reliabilityVSAvoidaerosol leakage and contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A filter screen is introduced as an intermediary component between the heating assembly and the external environment. The filter screen includes a filter body with multiple through-holes that allow aerosol passage while preventing liquid leakage. This intermediary structure resolves the contradiction by enabling reliable aerosol delivery while blocking harmful liquid contamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The filter screen utilizes a porous structure with multiple through-holes of specific dimensions. The porous design allows selective passage: aerosol particles can pass through the holes while larger liquid droplets are blocked. This porous material approach enables the system to maintain aerosol flow reliability while preventing liquid leakage contamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If filter screen with micropores is used to prevent leakage, then contamination is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveleakage and contaminationVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter screen serves as a simple intermediary component that adds minimal structural complexity while effectively preventing leakage. Rather than redesigning the entire vaporization system, a single filter screen element with through-holes is inserted into the existing aerosol pathway, providing contamination protection with minimal added complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The filter screen employs a porous structure with multiple through-holes that can be manufactured using standard processes. The porous design achieves leakage prevention through geometric filtering rather than complex sealing mechanisms, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining effective contamination protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials
