Solution Overview

Problem

Existing atomization devices can only use one type of e-liquid at a time, limiting flavor options and requiring users to carry multiple cartridges for replacement, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

An atomization assembly with multiple receiving chambers for liquid storage components, each connected to a corresponding electrode assembly, and a circuit switching component that selectively connects the power supply to the desired liquid storage component, allowing simultaneous use of multiple flavors without manual switching of electrode assemblies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single cartridge is used in the atomization device, then the device structure is simple, but the user must carry multiple cartridges for different flavors and large capacity, which is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The atomization device is divided into multiple independent receiving chambers (first receiving chamber, second receiving chamber, etc.), each capable of holding a separate liquid storage component. This segmentation allows the device to store multiple e-liquid flavors simultaneously, eliminating the need for users to carry multiple cartridges while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The atomization device is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating multiple electrode assemblies (first electrode assembly, second electrode assembly, etc.) that can independently atomize different e-liquid flavors. The device can switch between different flavors and operate in different modes (single flavor, mixed flavor, etc.), providing universal functionality that replaces the need for multiple separate cartridges.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple liquid storage components are stored simultaneously, then multiple flavors can be used without carrying extra cartridges, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflavor optionsVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device employs segmented receiving chambers and corresponding electrode assemblies, where each chamber-electrode pair can independently handle a specific e-liquid flavor. This modular segmentation enables the device to accommodate multiple flavors simultaneously while keeping the structural complexity manageable through standardized design patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes spatial arrangement in multiple dimensions by positioning receiving chambers and electrode assemblies in different spatial locations (first receiving chamber with first electrode assembly, second receiving chamber with second electrode assembly, etc.). This dimensional organization allows multiple flavors to be stored and accessed simultaneously without excessive structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If manual switching between cartridges is required, then the device structure is simple, but the wear on electrode assemblies increases due to frequent replacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrode assembly durabilityVSAvoidswitching mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device incorporates a dynamic switching mechanism that can automatically or manually switch between different electrode assemblies and receiving chambers based on user input or detection signals. This dynamic capability allows the system to adapt to different usage scenarios (single flavor, mixed flavor, sequential flavor) while reducing wear on individual electrode assemblies through automated management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the control circuit can detect the state of different receiving chambers and electrode assemblies, and automatically adjust the atomization process. This feedback system optimizes the usage of each electrode assembly, distributing wear more evenly and extending overall system reliability without requiring complex manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
