Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional electronic cigarette atomizers have high use costs due to non-replaceable unibody designs, labor-intensive manufacturing, and low liquid flow rates leading to dry combustion issues.
Innovation Solution
A replaceable universal atomizing head with a support base, heating device, and liquid guiding member, featuring a liquid guiding wick and nozzle that improves liquid flow and eliminates the need for manual welding, reducing production time and cost while preventing dry combustion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a unibody atomizer design is used, then structural simplicity is achieved, but replaceability and使用寿命 are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is divided into separable modules: a replaceable atomizing head and a reusable battery rod. The atomizing head can be detached and replaced after depletion, while the battery rod is retained. This segmentation enables both structural simplicity in design and replaceability in usage, resolving the contradiction between unibody simplicity and lifespan.
2Reliability
If manual welding of contacting conductors is performed, then electrical connection is achieved, but labor intensity and manufacturing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The manual welding process is replaced with a mechanical pressing connection system. Contacting conductors are pressed against contact pieces through a pressing rod mechanism, eliminating the need for welding operations. This substitution maintains reliable electrical connection while significantly reducing labor intensity and manufacturing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing rod mechanism automatically establishes electrical connections when the atomizing head is assembled onto the battery rod. The spring-loaded contact pieces self-engage with the contacting conductors during assembly, providing automatic electrical connection without requiring external welding operations.
3Ease of operation
If liquid guiding wick occupies space in suction nozzle, then liquid guidance is achieved, but flow rate is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid guiding wick is repositioned from a vertical arrangement (occupying nozzle space) to a horizontal arrangement (along the nozzle length). This dimensional change allows the wick to maintain its liquid guidance function while minimizing obstruction to liquid flow through the nozzle, thereby improving flow rate.

AI summary
An atomizing head for an electronic cigarette, the atomizing head being universal and replaceable, includes a support base defining an atomizing chamber, a heating device, and a liquid guiding member. The liquid guiding member includes a liquid guiding wick, a liquid guiding nozzle, and a liquid guiding nozzle seat. One end of the liquid guiding wick extends from the liquid guiding nozzle seat to the heating device. The nozzle and nozzle seat cooperatively define a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity is blocked by the liquid guiding wick, and an inner surface of the receiving cavity defines at least one liquid guiding slot for providing a channel for a liquid to the heating device. An atomizer and an electronic cigarette including the replaceable universal atomizing head are also described.
