Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic atomization devices experience high energy consumption due to heat loss during the atomization heating process, leading to a shortened standby time.

Innovation Solution

A heating structure with a heating tube and base that includes heat insulation holes to interrupt heat transfer paths, reducing heat loss and energy consumption by blocking or slowing down heat transfer to the outside, thereby prolonging the device's standby time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If heat insulation holes are added to the heating tube or base, then heat loss is reduced and energy consumption is decreased, but the device complexity increases due to additional structural modifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat lossVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating structure is divided into multiple components (heating tube, base, guiding member) with heat insulation holes strategically positioned in one or more of these segments. This segmentation allows heat insulation to be implemented in a distributed manner, reducing heat loss at critical interfaces while maintaining manufacturing feasibility for each individual component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Heat insulation holes are positioned at specific locations where heat loss is most problematic, such as at the interface between the heating tube and base, or at the open ends of the heating tube. This local application of heat insulation focuses thermal management resources where they are most needed, reducing overall heat loss without requiring complete insulation of the entire device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Duration of action of moving object

If heat insulation holes are provided in the heating structure, then standby time is prolonged by reducing energy consumption, but the manufacturing complexity increases due to additional processing steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestandby timeVSAvoidease of manufacture
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The heat insulation holes are integrated into the existing manufacturing processes of the heating tube, base, or guiding member. The holes are formed as part of the standard component fabrication, combining the heat insulation function with the structural components rather than adding separate insulation elements, thereby reducing overall manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the base covers the opening of the heating tube to form an accommodating cavity, then the heating structure is improved, but heat transfer to the outside increases through the base

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The base is functionally segmented into different regions: a first portion that covers the heating tube opening to form the accommodating cavity, and a second portion that extends radially outward and contains heat insulation holes. This segmentation allows the base to simultaneously provide structural support, form the cavity, and implement heat insulation to prevent energy loss through the base.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
