Solution Overview

Problem

Atomization devices produce a burnt smell due to limited service life and fail to meet both low-power and high-power user demands while ensuring flavor.

Innovation Solution

The atomization device features a housing with a heating chamber and a plurality of heating members that can selectively heat alternately or simultaneously, reducing contact with the inner wall and allowing independent operation to adjust power levels, thereby reducing dry burning and operating temperature.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single heating member is used to heat the atomization core, then the device structure is simple, but the service life is limited and burnt smell occurs due to dry burning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoidheating member configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single heating member is divided into multiple heating members (first heating member and second heating member). Each heating member can be independently controlled to heat the atomization core, which extends the service life by allowing rotational switching between multiple members and reduces burnt smell through more uniform heating distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the heating member operates at high power, then heating efficiency is improved, but burnt smell is produced and the risk of dry burning increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating efficiencyVSAvoidburnt smell
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The heating members operate in alternating periodic cycles rather than continuous high-power operation. The control unit switches between first and second heating members in a rotational manner, providing periodic heating that maintains heating efficiency while allowing cooling intervals that prevent dry burning and burnt smell.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The heating power parameters are dynamically adjusted by switching between multiple heating members. Instead of maintaining constant high power, the system varies the heating parameters through rotational switching, which distributes the thermal load and prevents excessive temperature buildup that causes burnt smell.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the heating member operates at low power, then the risk of dry burning is reduced, but the device cannot meet high-power user demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedry burning riskVSAvoidpower output
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple heating members are combined in parallel, where the first heating member and second heating member can work together or alternately. This merging allows the system to deliver high total power when needed while individually each member operates at safer power levels that reduce dry burning risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Temperature

If the atomization core contacts the inner wall of the heating chamber, then heat transfer to the housing is improved, but the housing deforms due to heating up

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat transfer efficiencyVSAvoidhousing deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

A heat insulating structure is introduced as an intermediary between the atomization core and the housing inner wall. This intermediary layer blocks direct heat transfer to the housing, preventing thermal deformation of the housing while still allowing the atomization core to receive sufficient heat from the heating members for effective atomization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An atomization device and an atomizer are provided. The atomization device includes a housing, an atomization core, and a plurality of heating members. A heating chamber is formed in the housing. The atomization core is arranged in the heating chamber and spaced apart from at least part of an inner wall of the heating chamber. The plurality of heating members is configured to selectively heat alternately or simultaneously. According to the atomization device of the present disclosure, the heating member can selectively heat alternately or simultaneously, and therefore the atomization core operates at different power to generate heat, reducing a risk of dry burning of the heating member, and lowering an operating temperature of the atomization core. In this way, a burnt smell of the atomization device is alleviated.
