Aerosol Priming Bulb for Controlled Dosage Sessions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of aerosol generating devices face difficulty in controlling their consumption, as these devices can be used continuously without clear start and end points for vaping sessions, leading to prolonged use and potential failure in quitting traditional smoking.
Innovation Solution
An aerosol delivering system with a priming bulb that allows for precise dosage control by expelling a predetermined quantity of vaporizable material for each vaping session, using a secondary reservoir to manage consumption over extended periods and incorporating a double valve system for efficient operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If aerosol generating devices are designed for easy use, then user convenience is improved, but consumption control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the consumption period into discrete sessions using a priming bulb that delivers a predetermined quantity of vaporizable material. Each actuation of the priming bulb provides a controlled dose for one vaping session, creating clear boundaries between sessions and enabling users to track and limit their overall consumption while maintaining ease of use.
2Ease of operation
If continuous vaping is allowed, then user satisfaction is improved, but dosage precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device implements periodic action by requiring users to actuate the priming bulb at the start of each vaping session. This creates discrete, measurable dosing intervals rather than continuous uncontrolled delivery. The priming bulb delivers a precise predetermined quantity each time it is actuated, ensuring dosage precision while still allowing multiple sessions per day based on user needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If no consumption limits are set, then flexibility is improved, but health risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device applies preliminary action by pre-determining and pre-measuring the quantity of vaporizable material delivered with each priming bulb actuation. This preliminary dosing action establishes safe consumption limits before the user begins vaping, preventing excessive intake while maintaining flexibility in when and how many times users choose to vape within those predetermined limits.
