Porous Heating Film Atomizer for Even E-Cigarette Vaporization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic cigarettes suffer from uneven atomization due to the heating wire only heating liquid close to it, leading to poor atomization of liquid further away, resulting in uneven temperature distribution and particle size, which affects taste and quality.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing element with a porous body and porous heating film enhances atomization by increasing contact area and ensuring uniform heating through micropores, preventing liquid leakage, and allowing uniform temperature distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a spiral resistance wire is used as the heating element, then the heating element can be simple in structure, but the atomization effect becomes uneven and poor for liquid located away from the heating wire
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies porous materials by forming a heating layer on the heating element that contains numerous micropores. These micropores allow liquid to penetrate and be heated uniformly throughout the heating layer, ensuring consistent atomization across the entire surface including areas away from the heating wire. The porous structure increases the effective heating surface area and improves liquid distribution.
2Area of stationary object
If the heating wire distance increases, then the heating coverage area increases, but the temperature drops greatly resulting in uneven atomizing particles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the heating element by adding a heating layer with controlled porosity (30-80%) and specific micropore dimensions (5-50 micrometers). This layer acts as a thermal distribution medium that maintains temperature uniformity across the heating coverage area, preventing temperature drop at greater distances from the heating wire while expanding the effective heating area.
3Device complexity
If only liquid close to the heating wire is heated, then the heating element structure remains simple, but the atomization efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The heating layer with micropores enables liquid to be drawn into and distributed throughout the entire heating surface area. This porous structure dramatically increases atomization efficiency by providing numerous micropores (increasing contact area) for liquid evaporation, while maintaining a relatively simple overall heating element structure consisting of the heating wire plus the heating layer coating.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution improves atomization efficiency by ensuring uniform particle size and taste, enhancing the overall smoking experience.
Implementation Method 1
a porous heating film formed on the atomizing surface... the porous heating film can be heated uniformly, therefore the temperature of the porous body evenly increases at all part
Implementation Method 2
The porous body of the aforementioned atomizing element can block the liquid while ensure the liquid guiding effect
Implementation Method 3
When activated, the resistance wire quickly heats up thus turning the liquid absorbed by the wicking material into a vapor, which is then inhaled by the user
