Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flavor suction articles either fail to provide sufficient flavor release due to low volatilization of components at normal temperatures or generate smoke and combustion products when heated, posing health risks.
Innovation Solution
A non-combustion type flavor suction article featuring a flavor-impermeable mouthpiece, a heat-melted capsule shell enclosing liquid flavor, and leak-protection members made of paper or acetate filters, wrapped with a tobacco sheet and heat-conducting materials, allowing controlled flavor release without smoke or combustion products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a conventional cigarette is smoked with ignition at high temperature, then flavor release is enhanced, but smoke and combustion products are generated causing health problems
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the temperature parameter from high-temperature combustion (>800°C) to low-temperature heating (80-140°C). This parameter change allows flavor release while avoiding combustion and smoke generation, directly resolving the contradiction between flavor enhancement and harmful byproduct formation
Solution Approach 2:
The invention converts the harmful combustion process into a beneficial heating process. By using electric heating instead of combustion, the system achieves flavor release without producing harmful smoke and combustion products, effectively transforming a harmful mechanism into a beneficial one
2Temperature
If flavor-containing beads are used in electric heating cigarettes, then heating temperature is reduced, but smoke is still generated
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the harmful smoke-generating component from the system by using a liquid flavor composition enclosed in a capsule instead of traditional tobacco or flavor beads that produce smoke. This extraction eliminates smoke generation while maintaining reduced heating temperature
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical state parameter from solid flavor beads to liquid flavor composition, and changes the heating temperature parameter to a specific range (80-140°C) that enables flavor release without smoke generation, resolving the contradiction between temperature reduction and smoke elimination
3Object-affected harmful factors
If normal temperature suction is used with fiber bundle impregnated with flavor, then no combustion occurs, but volatilized components are insufficient for user satisfaction
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces periodic heating action through an electric heater that heats the capsule during use. This periodic thermal energy input causes controlled volatilization of the liquid flavor, providing sufficient vapor for user satisfaction while maintaining combustion-free operation
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the temperature parameter from normal temperature to elevated temperature (80-140°C) during use, enabling sufficient volatilization of flavor components while still avoiding combustion. This parameter change resolves the contradiction between combustion avoidance and adequate flavor vapor generation
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
Enables stable flavor retention and controlled release without smoke or combustion products, providing a healthier alternative for flavor enjoyment by heating the capsule to 80-140°C, ensuring the flavor is retained in leak-protection members and absorbed by the user.
Implementation Method 1
heating the capsule to 80-140°C
Implementation Method 2
the shell is broken to release the flavor
Implementation Method 3
the released flavor soaks into the leak-protection members disposed at the both sides of the capsule, and is retained therein
