Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic heating suction devices with pre-filling e-liquid atomizers face issues of e-liquid leakage during transportation due to turbulence or temperature changes, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

An atomizer design with an isolated e-liquid chamber and a movable e-liquid baffle or atomization core that can be blocked or staggered from the e-liquid guiding hole, allowing for transportation without leakage and easy switching to usage state by connecting with the e-liquid chamber.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the atomization core is directly connected with the e-liquid chamber so that the atomization core is immersed in e-liquid, then the atomizer can function properly during use, but e-liquid will leakage out of the atomization core during transportation under change conditions such as turbulence or external temperature or air pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomizer functionVSAvoide-liquid leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the atomizer into two separate functional parts: an atomization core and an e-liquid chamber, which can be isolated from each other during transportation and connected during use. This segmentation allows the atomization core to be disconnected from the e-liquid chamber, preventing e-liquid leakage while maintaining proper atomization function when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs a movable isolation structure that can dynamically change its state between blocking and non-blocking positions. The isolation structure is positioned to block the e-liquid guiding hole during transportation, and can be moved to allow e-liquid flow during use, providing dynamic adaptation to different operational conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the atomization core is isolated from the e-liquid chamber during transportation, then e-liquid leakage is prevented, but the atomizer requires additional operation to connect the components for usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvee-liquid leakageVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The movable isolation structure is designed to be automatically positioned or easily moved by the user through simple operation. The structure may include features such as spring mechanisms, magnetic positioning, or simple sliding movements that allow the transition between blocked and non-blocked states with minimal user effort, making the system self-servicing while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Object-affected harmful factors

If a movable isolation structure is introduced to block the e-liquid guiding hole, then e-liquid leakage during transportation is prevented, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvee-liquid leakageVSAvoidatomizer structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The movable isolation structure is integrated with existing components of the atomizer, such as the atomization core or housing, rather than being a separate additional component. The isolation structure may be formed as part of the atomization core assembly or combined with the housing structure, merging multiple functions into a single integrated component to minimize overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The isolation structure may utilize flexible materials or thin film structures that can easily deform or move to block or unblock the e-liquid guiding hole. These flexible structures require minimal mechanical complexity while effectively preventing e-liquid leakage, reducing the overall structural complexity of the device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

AI summary

An atomizer with an e-liquid chamber isolated thereof and a suction device using same includes a mouthpiece, a housing and an atomization core with an e-liquid hole thereof. The e-liquid chamber is formed inside the housing and surrounded around the atomization core, and an e-liquid baffle formed between the e-liquid chamber and the atomization core inside the housing. The atomization core or the e-liquid baffle with its installation position within the housing can move in the housing so that the e-liquid baffle can be blocked or staggered from the e-liquid guiding hole. When the e-liquid guiding hole is shielded by the e-liquid baffle, the e-liquid guiding hole disconnects to the e-liquid chamber so that the atomizer is in its initial state. When the e-liquid guiding hole is staggered from the e-liquid baffle, the e-liquid guiding hole is connected with the e-liquid chamber so that the atomizer is in its usage state.
