Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vaporization components in electronic cigarettes suffer from non-uniform temperature distribution, low vaporization efficiency, and poor inhaling experience due to the use of spiral heating wires with poor rigidity and small diameter, leading to local high temperatures and burnt flavor.
Innovation Solution
A vaporization component featuring a cylindrical mesh heating body embedded in a porous body with a central through hole, where the heating body is closely connected to the porous body, enhancing overall heating uniformity and preventing local high temperatures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a spiral heating wire is used, then the device structure is simple, but the heating uniformity is poor and local high temperature occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The heating body is segmented into multiple heating wires arranged in parallel, each contributing to the overall heating. This segmentation distributes the heating load across multiple elements, preventing local overheating while maintaining structural simplicity. The heating wires are positioned at different locations to ensure uniform heat distribution across the vaporization surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The heating structure transitions from a one-dimensional spiral wire to a two-dimensional array of parallel wires. This dimensional change increases the heating surface area and improves heat distribution uniformity, as the heating elements are spread across the vaporization surface rather than concentrated in a single spiral path.
2Volume of moving object
If a small diameter heating wire is used, then the device structure is compact, but the heating area is small causing local high temperature
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a single thick heating wire, the heating function is segmented into multiple thinner wires working in parallel. This segmentation increases the total heating surface area while maintaining a compact overall structure, as the multiple thin wires can be arranged closely together without requiring a large volume.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple heating wires are merged into a single integrated heating assembly that functions as one unit. The combined effect of multiple wires provides sufficient total heating area and power, achieving both compactness and adequate heating surface area simultaneously.
3Ease of manufacture
If the heating wire rigidity is poor, then the device is easy to manufacture, but the turn gap changes during preparation process
Solution Approach 1:
The heating structure is segmented into multiple independent straight or slightly curved wire segments rather than a continuous spiral. This segmentation allows each wire to be manufactured separately with consistent specifications, eliminating the turn gap variability issue inherent in spiral winding while maintaining ease of manufacture through simple wire cutting and arrangement.
