Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple magnets, spring pins, and thimbles are used to connect the power supply assembly and atomizer, then the electrical connection and mechanical support are achieved, but the manufacturing cost and device complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate components (magnets for magnetic connection, spring pins for electrical connection, and thimbles for heating element support) into a single integrated connecting structure. This structure simultaneously provides magnetic attraction for mechanical connection, electrical contact through integrated contact pieces, and support for the heating element, thereby reducing component count and simplifying the overall device while maintaining functional reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting structure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides magnetic attraction for mechanical connection between the power supply assembly and atomizer, establishes electrical connection through integrated contact pieces, and supports the heating element through integrated thimble structures. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate components for each function, reducing complexity while ensuring reliable operation
2Ease of operation
If multiple magnets, spring pins, and thimbles are used in the atomizer assembly, then the functional requirements are met, but the manufacturing cost increases and one-time use design becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple components into a single connecting structure that can be manufactured as one piece, eliminating the need for separate magnets, spring pins, and thimbles. This integration simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces assembly steps, and lowers production costs while maintaining the ease of assembly through the magnetic connection mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated connecting structure is designed to be inexpensive and suitable for disposable atomizers. By combining multiple functions into a single low-cost component and eliminating the need for multiple precision parts, the design enables economical one-time use atomizers that are discarded after a single use, aligning with the trend toward disposable vaping products
