Pin Element Electrical Connection for Atomizing Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional atomizers have integrated atomizing assemblies and bases, making it difficult to replace or replenish liquids without risking internal circuit malfunctions or increased costs, and use string-type wires that are prone to breakage and heat-related issues.
Innovation Solution
An atomizing assembly that can be easily detached from the base, using a pin element for electrical connection instead of string-type wires, allowing for convenient liquid replacement and reducing the risk of damage or breakage, with a rotatable portion for adjustable installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the atomizing assembly and base are integrated into a single piece, then the structural strength is improved, but the ease of operation for liquid replacement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is divided into two separable parts: a base and an atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly can be detached from the base, allowing users to easily replace or replenish liquid without disassembling the entire device. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling easy operation while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.
2Strength
If the atomizing assembly and base are integrated into a single piece, then the structural strength is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the atomizing assembly from the base, the patent enables independent replacement of malfunctioning components. Users can detach and replace only the atomizing assembly without discarding or repairing the entire integrated device, significantly improving ease of repair while maintaining structural strength when assembled.
3Ease of manufacture
If string type wires are used for electrical connection, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces flexible wire connections with a rigid pin element for electrical connection between the atomizing assembly and base. This pin element provides both mechanical support and electrical conduction, eliminating the reliability issues of string type wires while remaining manufacturable through standard injection molding processes.
4Ease of operation
If the atomizing assembly is detachable, then the ease of operation for liquid replenishment is improved, but the risk of liquid intrusion into internal circuits worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the liquid storage function into a separate containing part that can be removed from the base. The opening for liquid replenishment is located on the containing part, allowing users to refill liquid without accessing or exposing the base's internal circuits, thus eliminating liquid intrusion risk while maintaining ease of operation.
