Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional atomizers face issues with inconsistent product quality due to labor-intensive assembly, e-liquid leakage, and the risk of e-liquid exposure from manual sealing ring arrangements, which complicates production and user experience.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer design featuring an integrated inner and outer tube structure with a sealing element, eliminating the need for a metal tube and sealing ring, forming a closed e-liquid accommodation space that prevents leakage and simplifies assembly, using transparent materials like glass for visibility and improved user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a sealing ring is used in the joint of the metal tube and mouthpiece, then sealing is achieved, but the assembly operation becomes complex and labor-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the sealing function directly into the mouthpiece structure by designing a sealing groove and sealing凸起 (protrusion) that mate with the atomization chamber. This eliminates the need for separate sealing rings and reduces assembly complexity while maintaining reliable sealing performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent removes the metal tube component entirely and replaces it with a transparent atomization chamber made of glass or other transparent materials. This extraction of the metal tube eliminates the need for sealing rings at the metal tube-mouthpiece joint, simplifying the overall structure and assembly process.
2Reliability
If a sealing ring is arranged in the joint, then sealing is provided, but e-liquid leakage risk increases due to manual assembly variations
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing function is merged into the integral structure of the mouthpiece and atomization chamber, creating a fixed geometric sealing interface. This eliminates variability from manual sealing ring installation, ensuring consistent sealing performance and preventing e-liquid leakage regardless of assembly variations.
3Strength
If a metal tube is used for atomization, then structural strength is provided, but e-liquid deterioration occurs due to metal soaking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the metal tube from the atomization system and replaces it with a transparent atomization chamber made of glass or other chemically inert transparent materials. This extraction eliminates the chemical interaction between metal and e-liquid that causes deterioration, while the structural strength is maintained through the rigid transparent chamber design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material construction where the transparent atomization chamber is made of chemically inert materials like glass that provide both structural strength and chemical resistance. This composite approach replaces the metal tube's structural function while eliminating its harmful chemical interactions with e-liquid.
4Reliability
If manual assembly with sealing rings is used, then sealing is achieved, but product quality consistency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing function is merged into the integral molded structure of the mouthpiece and atomization chamber, creating fixed geometric sealing surfaces. This eliminates the need for separate sealing ring components and their associated manual assembly steps, ensuring consistent sealing performance and product quality across all units through precision molding rather than manual assembly.

Function Achieved in This Case
The new design enhances production efficiency, reduces costs, prevents e-liquid deterioration, and improves user experience by ensuring e-liquid is not exposed to the atomization channel without a metal tube, thus maintaining consistent quality and safety.
Implementation Method 1
the e-liquid enters the metal tube via the e-liquid inlet and is absorbed and heated by the heating core to produce aerosols
Implementation Method 2
the e-liquid enters the metal tube via the e-liquid inlet and is absorbed and heated by the heating core to produce aerosols
