Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a small adjusting ring is used to control air inflow volume, then the device structure is compact, but the ease of operation deteriorates over time
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring the user to rotate the adjusting ring to control air inflow, the invention inverts the control mechanism: the atomizing component rotates relative to the adjusting ring, and the overlap between air inlets on these two components automatically adjusts the air inflow volume. This eliminates the need for users to manipulate the small adjusting ring directly.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves automatic air inflow adjustment through the relative rotation of the atomizing component. As the atomizing component rotates, the overlap area between its air inlet and the adjusting ring's air inlet changes automatically, controlling the air inflow volume without requiring user intervention on the adjusting ring.
2Ease of operation
If the adjusting ring is made larger to improve operation ease, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing component serves multiple functions: it performs atomization of the liquid and simultaneously controls the air inflow volume through its rotation. The rotating atomizing component acts as both the atomization element and the air flow control mechanism, eliminating the need for a separate large adjusting ring.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the air flow control function into the atomizing component itself. The adjusting ring and atomizing component work together as an integrated system where the relative rotation between them controls both atomization and air inflow, simplifying the overall device structure.
3Measurement precision
If manual rotation of the adjusting ring is required to control air inflow, then the control precision is achievable, but the productivity deteriorates due to repeated manual manipulation
Solution Approach 1:
The air inlet overlap configuration is pre-designed to provide precise control ranges. As the atomizing component rotates, the predetermined overlap areas between air inlets automatically provide precise air inflow control without requiring the user to manually adjust the adjusting ring repeatedly.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically adjusts air inflow through the relative rotation of components. The overlap between air inlets on the adjusting ring and atomizing component self-regulates the air flow volume based on the rotation position, eliminating the need for continuous manual manipulation while maintaining precision.

Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy adjustment of aerosol volume produced by the electronic cigarette, enhancing user experience by allowing control of air inflow without manual manipulation of the adjusting ring, thus improving operational efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
The atomizer is electrified by a power supply and capable of vaporizing the tobacco liquid into an aerosol mist
Implementation Method 2
when an external force drives the atomizing component excluding the part thereof received in the adjusting ring to rotate relatively to the base, an overlap ratio of the first air inlet and the second air inlet is capable to be adjusted

AI summary
An atomizer and an electronic cigarette having the same are provided, the atomizer includes a base; an adjusting ring fixed on the base and configured to adjust a volume of air inflow, the adjusting ring bored with a first air inlet; and an atomizing component partly received in the adjusting ring and being in rotatable connection with the base. Part of the atomizing component received in the adjusting ring is bored with a second air inlet corresponding to the first air inlet. When an external force drives the atomizing component excluding the part thereof received in the adjusting ring to rotate relatively to the base, an overlap ratio of the first air inlet and the second air inlet is capable to be adjusted.
