Movable Atomizing Assembly Sealing for E-Cigarette Liquid Leakage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic cigarette atomizers experience tobacco liquid leakage during transportation and carrying due to the lack of effective sealing mechanisms, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer design featuring a movable atomizing assembly with a liquid stopper and filling opening that can be opened or closed to control the flow of tobacco liquid, utilizing a liquid obstruction cover and elastic elements to prevent leakage, and a cottonless configuration with a glass fiber core and heating wire for vaporization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the atomizing assembly is kept open to allow tobacco liquid flow, then the atomizer can function properly for vaporization, but tobacco liquid leaks during transportation and carrying
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing assembly is designed to be movable along the axial direction, transitioning between a first position (open state for vaporization) and a second position (closed state for sealing). This dynamic structure allows the atomizer to adapt between operational and transport modes, enabling proper function during use while preventing leakage during transportation.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If a sealing mechanism is added to prevent leakage, then tobacco liquid leakage is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing assembly serves dual functions: it acts as both the vaporization component (heating wire and glass fiber core) and the sealing mechanism (liquid stopper). By making the atomizing assembly movable, it can simultaneously achieve vaporization when open and seal the liquid filling opening when closed, eliminating the need for separate sealing components and reducing overall device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively prevents tobacco liquid leakage and ensures reliable operation by sealing the filling opening when not in use, maintaining the liquid within the atomizer and enhancing user experience by reducing the risk of leakage during transport and use.
Implementation Method 1
tobacco liquid is stored in a liquid chamber, conveyed to a glass fiber core, and then vaporized by a heating wire

AI summary
An exemplary atomizer includes an atomizing sleeve, a liquid chamber, a liquid stopper, a liquid filling opening, and an atomizing assembly. The liquid chamber is defined in the atomizing sleeve, and configured for storing tobacco liquid. The atomizing assembly is received in the liquid stopper, and capable of moving along an axial direction of the liquid stopper between a first position and a second position relative to the liquid stopper. When the atomizing assembly is in the first position, the liquid filling opening communicates with the liquid chamber, so that the tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber can flow to the atomizing assembly via the liquid filling opening. When the atomizing assembly is in the second position, the liquid filling opening is closed, so that no tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber can flow to the atomizing assembly via the liquid filling opening.
