The atomizing core is designed with a modular structure comprising an atomizing core housing, atomizing seat, and heating sheet, allowing for standardized and automated assembly, with features like airflow inlets and outlets, atomizing channels, and integrated components to enhance integration and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional cotton or ceramic heating cores are used, then the atomizing function is achieved, but the assembly difficulty increases and production efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizing core is divided into multiple modular components including the atomizing seat, heating sheet, electrode assembly, and airflow control elements. Each component can be manufactured independently and assembled through standardized procedures, transforming a complex monolithic structure into manageable modules that improve production efficiency while maintaining atomizing functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The atomizing seat serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, defines airflow channels, positions the heating sheet, and integrates electrode mounting features. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate components needed, simplifying assembly processes while achieving the required atomizing performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If conventional atomizing core designs are used, then the heating function is achieved, but the product stability and consistency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct stabilityVSAvoidassembly precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The heating sheet is pre-positioned and fixed to the atomizing seat before final assembly, with pre-defined alignment features and positioning structures. This preliminary arrangement ensures consistent spatial relationships between components, reducing variability in aerosol production while simplifying the final assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The modular components are designed with self-aligning features such as integrated mounting protrusions, snap-fit connections, and predefined positioning channels. These features enable components to automatically locate and secure themselves during assembly, improving consistency without requiring high-precision manual positioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
