Rotating Mounting Seat for Adjustable E-Cigarette Holder Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic cigarette power supply devices restrict user adjustment of the atomizer holder's angle, and small-sized atomizers often result in incomplete exposure of the holder, making it inconvenient for users.
Innovation Solution
A power supply device with a receiving chamber and connection assembly that allows the atomizer holder to extend outward, featuring a rotatable mounting seat with a position-limit mechanism, enabling adjustable holder orientation and complete exposure for user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the atomizer is installed in the receiving chamber, then the atomizer can be accommodated in the power supply device, but the holder cannot be fully exposed or adjusted for user convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting seat is designed to be rotatable relative to the receiving chamber, allowing the holder to dynamically adjust its exposure and orientation. This dynamic mechanism enables the holder to move from a retracted position (when atomizer is installed) to an exposed position (for user operation), resolving the contradiction between space utilization and operational convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting seat is nested within the receiving chamber structure, with the atomizer nested on the mounting seat. This nested arrangement allows compact storage when not in use while enabling sequential deployment - first the mounting seat rotates to expose the holder, then the atomizer can be accessed by the user
2Volume of moving object
If small-sized atomizers are installed in the receiving chamber, then the receiving chamber can accommodate compact atomizers, but the holder cannot be exposed out of the receiving chamber
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of extending the holder in a straight line from the atomizer, the mounting seat introduces a rotational dimension. The holder can be positioned at various angles relative to the receiving chamber opening, allowing it to extend outward effectively even when the atomizer itself remains compact within the chamber volume
3Ease of operation
If the holder is fully exposed for user convenience, then user operation is improved, but the receiving chamber cannot accommodate the atomizer properly
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct functional zones: the receiving chamber for stable atomizer accommodation, the mounting seat for transitional positioning, and the exposed holder region for user operation. This segmentation allows each component to fulfill its specific function without compromising the others - the atomizer remains securely housed while the holder can be accessed

AI summary
An electronic cigarette and a power supply device, having a power supply body provided with a receiving portion thereon; the receiving portion has a receiving chamber for accommodating an atomization device and an extending opening for a holder of the atomization device to extend outwards. The receiving chamber is internally provided with a connection assembly comprising a mounting seat for a connection joint to be detachably connected on the atomization device; the mounting seat is rotatably disposed with the atomization device, and the receiving chamber is internally provided with a position-limit mechanism defining a rotation range of the mounting seat. The atomization device and the mounting seat can be rotated to adjust a direction of rotation of the flat cigarette holder on the atomization device after the atomization device is connected to the mounting seat so as to meet different smoking needs of users.
