Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single heating zone is used to generate cloud vapor at high temperature, then vapor generation efficiency is improved, but aromatic flavor components are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The heating zone is divided into multiple independent heating sections (first heating section and second heating section), each capable of operating at different temperatures. The first heating section operates at higher temperature for efficient vapor generation, while the second heating section operates at lower temperature to preserve aromatic flavor components, thus resolving the contradiction between vapor generation efficiency and flavor preservation.
2Productivity
If high voltage is applied to the heater, then vaporization occurs rapidly and actively, but aromatic properties are suppressed
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the heating zone are assigned different electrical parameters (voltage, power) according to their specific functional requirements. The first heating section receives higher voltage for rapid vaporization, while the second heating section receives lower voltage to maintain aromatic properties, implementing local quality differentiation to resolve the contradiction.
3Reliability
If multiple heating sections with different functions are added, then vapor generation and flavor preservation are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The multiple heating sections share common structural elements including a single wick for liquid supply, common housing structure, and integrated control circuitry. This multi-functional design allows different heating sections to perform specialized functions while sharing universal components, thereby improving vapor generation quality without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Implementation Method 1
The solid, liquid or suspension material sought to be vaporized is placed in the atomizer, or alternatively placed in a separate housing connected to the atomizer by a wick. The purpose of the atomizer is to evaporate part of the liquid that flows through the wick from the container with the liquid to the heating zone through the capillary effect.
Implementation Method 2
an aerosol generating atomizer comprising a power supply, a wick, liquid supply container and a heating zone which comprises two or more resistive heating sections
Implementation Method 3
The purpose of the atomizer is to evaporate part of the liquid that flows through the wick from the container with the liquid to the heating zone through the capillary effect.
