Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarette products face safety issues due to the internal battery and main board remaining in a conductive state after assembly, which can lead to erroneous triggering of the aerosol generating apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A detachable electric heating smoking system is designed with an aerosol generating apparatus and a power source apparatus that can adjust the power supply state after assembly, featuring a sliding connection mechanism with guide structures to ensure safe and non-conductive disconnection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the aerosol generating apparatus is detachably assembled with the power source apparatus, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to the internal battery and main board remaining in a conductive state after assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by enabling the aerosol generating apparatus to slide between two connection positions (first and second connection positions) relative to the power source apparatus. This dynamic positioning allows the system to switch between conductive and non-conductive states while maintaining assembly, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability by making the electrical connection state changeable rather than fixed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the electrical connection function into two distinct connection positions: the first connection position for non-conductive state and the second connection position for conductive state. This segmentation allows the system to separate the mechanical assembly function from the electrical connection function, enabling the aerosol generating apparatus to be assembled with the power source apparatus while still achieving electrical disconnection when needed
2Ease of operation
If the aerosol generating apparatus remains assembled with the power source apparatus, then the ease of operation is improved, but the harmful factors increase due to the possibility of erroneous triggering
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses dynamic positioning between two connection positions to control the electrical connection state. The aerosol generating apparatus can slide to the first connection position to achieve non-conductive state and prevent erroneous triggering, while remaining mechanically assembled with the power source apparatus, thus eliminating the need to disassemble to prevent harmful factors
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the sliding connection structure with guide connection structures) that allows the aerosol generating apparatus to achieve electrical disconnection without mechanical disassembly. This intermediary mechanism enables the system to transition between conductive and non-conductive states while maintaining physical assembly, preventing erroneous triggering without compromising ease of operation
