Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a ceramic core structure with heating wire is used, then the atomizing core can heat e-liquid, but the heating efficiency is low and the speed of generating inhalable aerosol is slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional resistive heating wire mechanism with an electromagnetic induction system consisting of an inverter and susceptor. The inverter generates a high-frequency alternating current that creates a changing magnetic field, which induces eddy currents in the susceptor, generating heat through electromagnetic induction rather than direct resistive heating. This substitution enables faster heating response and higher efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic voltage control of the inverter, switching between a first operating voltage and a second operating voltage based on the atomization process stage. During the first duration, a higher first operating voltage is applied to rapidly heat the susceptor and generate aerosol. During the second duration, a lower second operating voltage is applied to maintain aerosol generation while reducing energy consumption. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between heating speed and energy efficiency.
2Productivity
If high power is used to quickly generate aerosol, then the speed of generating inhalable aerosol improves, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic voltage switching control, alternating between a first operating voltage during a first duration and a second operating voltage during a second duration within each puff period. This periodic action allows the system to achieve rapid aerosol generation when needed while reducing power consumption during maintenance phases, thereby resolving the contradiction between productivity and energy loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic voltage adjustment based on real-time atomization requirements. The controller dynamically switches between different operating voltages depending on the stage of the atomization process (initial heating phase vs. sustained atomization phase), optimizing the balance between aerosol generation speed and energy consumption rather than using a fixed high-power setting.

AI summary
An electronic atomization apparatus and a control method therefor. The electronic atomization apparatus comprises: a cell, an inverter, a susceptor, and a controller, which is configured to control the cell to supply power to the inverter within at least one vaping period, wherein the vaping period is continuous and comprises a first duration and a second duration; within the first duration, a power supply voltage of the inverter is controlled to be a first operating voltage, the first operating voltage being greater than an output voltage of the cell; and within the second duration, the power supply voltage of the inverter is controlled to be a second operating voltage, the second operating voltage being lower than the first operating voltage. In this way, an inhalable aerosol can be quickly generated within the first duration, and energy consumption can be effectively saved on on the whole.
