Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic atomizers face issues with frequent assembly disassembly leading to oil leakage and contamination of atomized liquid due to separate suction nozzle and central rod components, which complicates the filling process and affects the device's functionality.

Innovation Solution

An atomizer design where the suction nozzle and central rod are integrally formed, with a first seal to block the oil filling port and a second seal to enhance liquid flow, reducing assembly times and preventing contamination by integrating the atomizer base with the central rod for a stable connection and using a heat-insulating second sleeve to improve user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the suction nozzle and central rod are separate parts, then the atomizer can be disassembled for oil filling, but dust and sundries can easily enter the atomizer and pollute the atomizing liquid

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoil filling operationVSAvoidpollution of atomizing liquid
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The suction nozzle and central rod are merged into a single integrally formed component. This eliminates the separate parts that previously allowed dust and sundries to enter during disassembly, while the integrated structure incorporates an oil filling port that can be sealed to prevent contamination during the oil filling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If the suction nozzle and central rod are disassembled and assembled many times during oil filling, then oil can be refilled, but multiple assemblies will cause risks to the oil seal and lead to oil leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoil refilling capabilityVSAvoidoil seal integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating the suction nozzle and central rod into one piece, the invention eliminates repeated disassembly and assembly operations. The integrated structure includes a sealed oil filling port that allows oil to be added without breaking the seal, thus preventing oil leakage while maintaining refilling capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The oil filling port is pre-designed with sealing features in the integrated structure, allowing oil to be filled through a sealed pathway before the atomizer is put into service. This preliminary sealing action prevents the need for repeated disassembly that would compromise the oil seal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the suction nozzle is disassembled for oil filling, then oil can be added, but the assembly process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoil filling processVSAvoidassembly structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The integration of the suction nozzle and central rod simplifies the overall assembly structure by eliminating the need for separate components. The oil filling port is incorporated directly into the integrated structure, allowing oil to be added without disassembling any parts, thus reducing both complexity and time required for the oil filling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If multiple assembly operations are performed, then oil can be refilled, but the assembly time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoil refilling functionVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated structure is designed with a pre-formed oil filling port that maintains sealing integrity. This preliminary design allows oil to be refilled through the sealed port without any disassembly operations, eliminating the time previously spent on repeated assembly and disassembly while maintaining the oil refilling function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
