Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic atomization apparatuses require replacement of the atomizer for each type of substance to be atomized, leading to high costs and limited multiple uses due to the complex structure and difficult disassembly of the atomizer.

Innovation Solution

The electronic atomization apparatus features an atomizer with multiple independent atomization compartments, allowing different substances to be atomized without replacing the atomizer. The apparatus includes a main unit with a housing, control assembly, and battery assembly, and an atomizer with a heating circuit and detachable compartments, enabling selective heating and mist generation from each compartment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the atomizer is replaced for each type of substance to be atomized, then the substance compatibility is improved, but the device cost increases and the atomizer cannot be reused

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstance compatibilityVSAvoidatomizer replacement requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizer is divided into multiple independent atomization compartments (first atomization compartment, second atomization compartment, etc.), each capable of accommodating different substances. This segmentation allows the atomizer to handle multiple substance types without replacement while maintaining structural integrity and functionality for each compartment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The atomizer is designed with multi-functionality to accommodate various substances (e.g., e-liquid, herb, tobacco) across different compartments. The unified atomizer structure serves multiple purposes by integrating multiple independent compartments, eliminating the need for separate atomizers for different substance types.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the atomizer structure is made complex to accommodate multiple substances, then the substance compatibility is improved, but the disassembly difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstance compatibilityVSAvoiddisassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizer is segmented into independently accessible compartments that can be selectively accessed or filled. This segmentation allows users to fill different compartments with different substances without needing to disassemble the entire atomizer structure, simplifying the operation while maintaining multi-substance capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple atomizers are used for different substances, then the substance compatibility is improved, but the cost of the electronic atomization apparatus increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstance compatibilityVSAvoidnumber of atomizers required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple atomization compartments are merged into a single atomizer unit, allowing different substances to be accommodated within one integrated structure. This merging eliminates the need to purchase and manage multiple separate atomizers, reducing overall device cost while maintaining the ability to atomize different substances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The atomizer is designed as a universal multi-functional device that can handle various substance types through its multiple compartments. This universality allows a single atomizer to replace multiple specialized atomizers, reducing the total number of components needed and lowering the overall apparatus cost.

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