Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the electronic cigarette is kept stationary on conventional smoking machines, then the device structure is simple, but the tobacco tar distribution becomes uneven and atomization stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the electronic cigarette rotate dynamically during the atomization process. The rotating mechanism ensures that the oil guiding cotton continuously contacts fresh tobacco tar, preventing uneven distribution and maintaining stable atomization. This transforms the static electronic cigarette into a dynamic one, solving the contradiction between stability and complexity.
2Measurement precision
If manual operation is used for catcher loading and weighing, then the device structure is simple, but labor costs increase and measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements the self-service principle through the automatic loading and weighing system. The catcher is automatically positioned, loaded with smoke, and weighed by the integrated system without manual intervention. This self-service mechanism ensures precise measurement of smoke output while reducing labor costs, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity.
3Reliability
If the tobacco tar storage cavity is designed with simple structure, then the manufacturing cost is low, but the tobacco tar replenishment timeliness is insufficient and atomization amount stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the preliminary action principle by designing the tobacco tar storage cavity with pre-positioned oil guiding cotton that is ready to replenish tobacco tar before the atomization process begins. The rotating mechanism ensures that the oil guiding cotton is continuously supplied with tobacco tar in advance, maintaining stable atomization throughout the process. This preliminary preparation resolves the contradiction between reliability and structural complexity.
4Measurement precision
If conventional smoking machines are used without rotation, then the device complexity is low, but the detection result accuracy deteriorates due to uneven tobacco tar consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the dynamics principle by implementing a rotating electronic cigarette on the rotary disc. This rotation ensures uniform consumption of tobacco tar during detection, eliminating the uneven distribution problem of stationary designs. The dynamic rotation mechanism improves detection accuracy while accepting increased device complexity, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution stabilizes smoke output, reduces errors in detection results, and increases efficiency by ensuring consistent tobacco tar supply and automatic handling of catcher changes, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of electronic cigarette testing.
Implementation Method 1
a rotary disc 200 installed on the housing 100, the rotary disc 200 rotates relative to the housing 100 with a central axis of the rotary disc 200 as a center... the rotary disc is able to rotate to a position to make the axial through hole in communication with the sealing ventilation hole
Implementation Method 2
A control circuit is triggered by a switch manually or through pneumatic pressure and supplies power to a heating wire. A current enables the heating wire to generate a high temperature.
Implementation Method 3
A fiberglass oil guiding rope twisting inside the heating wire is affected by the high temperature and generates a wick effect. Tobacco tar is continuously transmitted to a high temperature end along the fiberglass oil guiding rope.
Implementation Method 4
Through an automatic loading and weighing system of a catcher disposed on the smoking machine for an electronic cigarette. In a smoking gap of the electronic cigarette, a catcher is automatically weighed, and whether smoke is still released is judged based on a variation between two weighing values
