Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If a conventional atomization core with one heating element is used, then the structure is simple, but the thermal utilization rate is low and heating power is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The atomization core is divided into multiple independent heating elements (first heating element and second heating element) positioned at different locations within the ceramic body. Each heating element has its own heating wire extending through vertical through holes, creating segmented heating zones that collectively increase total heating power while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular arrangement
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple heating elements are combined within a single ceramic body structure, with heating wires merged into the ceramic matrix through vertical through holes. This merging approach consolidates multiple heating functions into one integrated component, increasing heating power without proportionally increasing overall device complexity
2Productivity
If heating power is increased to vaporize more smoke materials, then vapor production increases, but resistance value increases and service life decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The heating function is segmented into multiple independent heating elements distributed within the ceramic body. This segmentation allows the total heating power needed for high vapor production to be distributed across multiple lower-power elements, reducing the current and resistance burden on any single element, thereby extending service life while maintaining high productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The ceramic body acts as an intermediary material that provides thermal mass and heat distribution. It absorbs and distributes heat from multiple heating elements evenly, preventing localized overheating and resistance buildup, thus enabling high vapor production without compromising reliability
3Speed
If heating power is increased to achieve quick temperature rise, then heating efficiency improves, but risk of explosion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The heating function is divided into multiple segmented heating elements distributed throughout the ceramic body. This segmentation enables rapid temperature rise through cumulative heating power while distributing thermal stress and preventing localized overheating that could lead to explosions
Solution Approach 2:
The ceramic body utilizes porous material properties to provide uniform heat distribution and prevent hot spots. The porous structure allows for even heat penetration and reduces thermal gradients, enabling quick temperature rise without creating the localized overheating conditions that cause explosions
