Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vaporization devices face pollution issues due to the accumulation of vaporization medium residues on the shunt mesh, which complicates cleaning and maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A heating assembly with a replaceable filter mesh that can be easily removed and replaced after use, reducing pollution on the shunt mesh and allowing for easy cleaning or reuse.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the shunt mesh is used to place the vaporization medium, then the heating function is achieved, but the shunt mesh becomes polluted with residues after multiple heating cycles
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the mesh structure into two separate components: a fixed shunt mesh and a replaceable filter mesh. The shunt mesh remains stationary and clean, while the filter mesh is removable and can be easily cleaned or replaced. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by isolating the pollution-prone function from the heating function.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter mesh is extracted as a separate, removable component from the heating assembly. It can be taken out after use, allowing the shunt mesh to remain clean and functional. This extraction principle directly addresses the pollution problem by separating the contaminant-capturing function from the permanent structure.
2Ease of repair
If the shunt mesh is reused after multiple heating cycles, then device complexity is reduced, but cleaning difficulty increases due to residue accumulation
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the mesh system into a permanent shunt mesh and a removable filter mesh, the design simplifies the cleaning process while maintaining reasonable overall structure. The filter mesh can be easily removed and cleaned separately, making maintenance simpler despite adding one more component.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter mesh is designed as a disposable or easily replaceable component that can be discarded after use rather than cleaned and reused. This approach simplifies maintenance by eliminating complex cleaning requirements, accepting the trade-off of using a consumable part.
3Productivity
If the shunt mesh is directly exposed to the vaporization medium, then heating efficiency is improved, but pollution accumulation occurs on the shunt mesh
Solution Approach 1:
The filter mesh acts as an intermediary component between the vaporization medium and the shunt mesh. It allows the vaporization medium to contact a heated surface (maintaining heating efficiency) while preventing residues from accumulating on the shunt mesh (reducing pollution). The filter mesh captures contaminants while permitting heat transfer.
Solution Approach 2:
The heating function is segmented between two components: the filter mesh that contacts the vaporization medium and captures residues, and the shunt mesh that provides structural support and remains clean. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally without suffering from the drawbacks of the other.

AI summary
A heating assembly includes: a heating body; a shunt mesh disposed on the heating body; an upper cap covered on the heating body and the shunt mesh; and a replaceable filter mesh disposed above the shunt mesh for placing a vaporization medium. A vaporization cavity in air communication with a heating element is formed on the upper cap. The replaceable filter mesh is replaceably disposed in the vaporization cavity.
