Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If a heating coil is used as the heating element, then the device structure is simple, but the power is low and vapor production is small
Solution Approach 1:
The heating element is segmented into multiple independent heating wires arranged in a mesh pattern on the disc surface. Each wire acts as an independent heating unit, and collectively they provide distributed heating across the entire disc surface, significantly increasing total heating power and vapor production capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The heating structure transitions from a one-dimensional coil to a two-dimensional meshed disc configuration. This dimensional expansion increases the heating surface area and allows multiple heating wires to work simultaneously in parallel, dramatically enhancing power output and vapor generation efficiency
2Quantity of substance
If a heating coil is used, then the structure is simple, but the vapor production amount is small leading to poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The heating disc is divided into multiple heating zones with independent wiring, allowing simultaneous heating of multiple areas. This segmentation enables greater e-liquid atomization capacity and higher vapor production volume to satisfy user demand
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple heating wires are merged into a unified meshed disc structure that functions as a single high-power heating element. The combined effect of all wires working together produces sufficient vapor quantity for improved user experience
3Productivity
If a meshed heating disc with composite circuit is used, then vapor production increases, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The heating disc is segmented into multiple independent heating circuits arranged in a mesh pattern, enabling parallel atomization processes that significantly increase productivity and vapor generation rate
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical circuit configuration changes from simple series or parallel connections to a composite series-parallel meshed structure. This parameter change optimizes both power distribution and atomization efficiency, achieving high productivity while managing structural complexity
