Replaceable Atomizer Heating Core With Protected Push-Out Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing atomizers for electronic cigarettes require replacement of the entire device when the internal heating device is damaged, leading to increased waste and cost, as the heating device cannot be disassembled for replacement.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer design featuring a base housing body with a mounting cavity and a heating device that can be easily pushed out and replaced, along with a detachable cover member to prevent accidental disengagement, allowing for simple and cost-effective replacement of the heating device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the heating device is integrated into the atomizer body, then the structural integrity is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The heating device is segmented from the atomizer body through a detachable connection mechanism. The heating device can be independently removed by pressing the manipulation piece, allowing the heating element to be separated into a distinct replaceable component while maintaining the overall structural integrity of the atomizer body during normal use.
2Ease of repair
If the heating device is made replaceable, then the ease of repair is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The manipulation piece is nested within the atomizer body structure, with its pressing surface extending through the housing. This nested design allows the simple replacement operation to be achieved without adding external complexity - the manipulation piece is integrated into the existing atomizer architecture rather than being a separate complex mechanism.
3Ease of operation
If the manipulation piece extends outside the base housing body, then the ease of operation is improved, but the object-generated harmful factors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cover member is provided as a protective element that covers the manipulation piece during normal use. This preliminary protective action prevents accidental pressing or disengagement by creating a physical barrier, while still allowing intentional access when needed. The cover member may include engagement features like grooves or protrusions to secure it in place.

AI summary
An atomizer for an electronic cigarette and an electronic cigarette are presented. The atomizer comprises a substrate, a heating device and a cover member. The substrate is provided with a mounting space. One end of the heating device is inserted into the mounting space and partially extends to the outside through the substrate to form a controlling member, and the other end is exposed to the outer surface of the substrate. When the controlling member is pressed into the substrate by an external pressing force, the heating device is pushed to move toward the outside of the substrate along the mounting space and partially extends out of the substrate. The cover member is detachably mounted to the substrate and covers the controlling member. The technical solution of the present invention is convenient for the user to disassemble and replace the heating device inside the atomizer, effectively saving the use cost.
