Light Strip Protection in Electronic Atomization Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic atomization devices with light effects suffer from limited colorfulness and are prone to damage from liquid leakage or condensation due to the placement of lights on PCB boards.
Innovation Solution
The device incorporates a light-transmitting outer shell and battery compartment, housing a battery and light strip within a separate compartment to prevent liquid exposure, and features a light-scattering layer and silicone case for enhanced visual effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the light is arranged on the PCB board at the bottom of the lower case, then the light effect can be displayed, but the light is easily damaged by liquid leakage or condensation
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate compartments: a battery compartment containing the light strip and battery, and a liquid storage cup. This segmentation isolates the light from potential liquid leakage sources, preventing direct exposure and damage while maintaining the light effect functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
A light-transmitting material is introduced as an intermediary between the light strip and the outer shell. This material allows light to pass through and display the light effect while physically separating the light from liquid leakage and condensation, protecting it from harmful factors.
2Illumination intensity
If the light is arranged on the PCB board, then the light effect can be implemented, but the light effect is not colorful enough
Solution Approach 1:
The light strip is configured to emit light of different colors, changing the parameter of illumination color. This enables colorful light effects to enhance user engagement while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process by using a standard light strip component.
3Reliability
If the battery compartment is separate from the liquid storage cup, then liquid leakage can be prevented, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate compartments: a battery compartment containing the light strip and battery, and a liquid storage cup. This segmentation isolates the light from potential liquid leakage sources, preventing direct exposure and damage while maintaining the light effect functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The outer shell and battery compartment are made of light-transmitting material, creating a composite structure that provides both structural integrity and light transmission functionality. This integrated approach maintains protection while enabling the light effect without requiring additional complex components.
