Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing low-temperature baked devices face issues with users manually removing cigarettes, leading to broken cigarettes or residues left on the heating element due to varying pulling strengths and directions, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A low-temperature baked device with a heating assembly that moves linearly between an inserted and separated position using a driving assembly, facilitated by an electric motor, allowing easy removal of the cigarette without residues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually pull the cigarette to remove it from the device, then the cigarette can be removed, but the cigarette may break apart or leave residues on the heating element due to varying pulling strengths and directions
Solution Approach 1:
The heating assembly is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position. The driving assembly enables the heating assembly to move along the axial direction of the cigarette, transitioning from an inserted position during heating to a retracted position for cigarette removal, thereby facilitating easy and reliable cigarette removal without breaking or leaving residues
Solution Approach 2:
The driving assembly acts as an intermediary mechanism between the user's removal action and the heating assembly. It mediates the interaction by automatically retracting the heating assembly when the cigarette is pulled, ensuring smooth separation without direct contact between the user's pulling force and the heating element, thus preventing cigarette breakage and residue formation
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Ensures cigarettes are removed without breaking and without leaving residues, maintaining device performance and user convenience.
Implementation Method 1
The second one is a low-temperature baked device that heats a tobacco at a low temperature (for example 200-400 degrees Celsius) without combustion to generate inhalable aerosol
Implementation Method 2
heats a tobacco at a low temperature (for example 200-400 degrees Celsius) without combustion to generate inhalable aerosol
Implementation Method 3
the driving assembly includes an electric motor disposed in the outer shell, and the electric motor is coupled with the heating assembly so as to drive the heating assembly to move linearly between the first position and the second position

AI summary
A low-temperature baked device including a main body, a heating assembly, and a driving assembly. The main body defines a receiving space for receiving a cigarette; the heating assembly includes an insertion portion for inserting into the cigarette, and the driving assembly is coupled to the heating assembly. The heating assembly can move linearly under a drive of the driving assembly along an axial direction of the cigarette between a first position for inserting into the cigarette, and a second position for separating from the cigarette. When the heating assembly is located at the first position, the insertion portion is extended completely into the receiving space. When the heating assembly is located at the second position, the heating assembly is at least partially displaced out of the receiving space and is separated from the cigarette, thus the cigarette can be readily removed without leaving any residues therein.
