Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The atomization module of electronic cigarettes experiences uneven heating due to a small contact area between the heating coil and e-liquid conducting cotton, resulting in poor atomization of e-liquid.
Innovation Solution
An atomization module with a meshed heating disc made of iron-chromium metal, disposed on linen cotton, which increases the contact area for even heating and includes a seal ring for improved sealing, forming an integrated structure for easy replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a heating coil is used with e-liquid conducting cotton, then the atomization module can heat e-liquid, but the contact area between the heating coil and e-liquid conducting cotton is relatively small, leading to uneven heating
Solution Approach 1:
The heating coil is transformed into a meshed heating disc with multiple heating elements distributed across its surface. This segmentation allows the heating function to be distributed over a larger area, increasing the contact area with the e-liquid conducting cotton and achieving more uniform heating across the entire surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The meshed heating disc provides different heating zones across its surface, with each mesh element contributing to localized heating. This creates a gradient of heating intensity that matches the e-liquid distribution pattern in the cotton, ensuring optimal heating uniformity where it is most needed.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If common cotton is used as e-liquid conducting material, then the atomization module can conduct e-liquid, but the service life is limited due to poor high temperature resistance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses linen cotton instead of common cotton as the e-liquid conducting material. Linen cotton has superior high temperature resistance and structural stability compared to common cotton, allowing it to maintain its integrity and e-liquid conduction properties under the thermal stress of repeated heating cycles, thereby extending the service life of the atomization module.
3Ease of manufacture
If the atomization module components are separate, then each component can be optimized independently, but the module requires frequent disassembly and replacement when one component fails
Solution Approach 1:
The meshed heating disc, e-liquid conducting cotton, and support structure are integrated into a single assembled unit. This merging allows the components to be manufactured and optimized independently while ensuring they work together as a coordinated system. When failure occurs, the entire integrated unit can be quickly replaced as one module, simplifying the repair process and reducing downtime.
