Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a conventional atomization core with one heating element is used, then the structure is simple, but the longitudinal heating area is limited and heating is uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating areaVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating element is divided into multiple ceramic heating elements (first, second, and third heating elements) arranged in sequence along the axial direction. Each heating element has its own heating wires, creating segmented heating zones that collectively provide a larger longitudinal heating area while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extends the heating structure from a single-plane configuration to a three-dimensional arrangement by stacking multiple ceramic heating elements along the axial direction. This dimensional extension transforms a two-dimensional heating surface into a longitudinal heating zone, significantly increasing the effective heating area without merely expanding the lateral dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If a conventional atomization core is used, then the structure is simple, but liquid absorption is limited and vaporization efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaporization efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The atomization core is segmented into multiple functional heating zones with different liquid absorption characteristics. The first heating element near the liquid reservoir provides intensive liquid absorption, while subsequent heating elements provide progressive vaporization, creating a segmented functional architecture that enhances overall vaporization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a longitudinal dimension to the vaporization process by arranging heating elements in sequence along the axial direction. This creates a multi-stage vaporization pathway where liquid is progressively heated and vaporized across different zones, transforming a single-step vaporization into a multi-dimensional vaporization process that improves efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If heating power is increased to vaporize more smoke materials, then vapor production increases, but the risk of explosion and material damage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevapor productionVSAvoidexplosion risk and material damage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The heating function is segmented across multiple heating elements with progressively increasing temperatures. This segmentation distributes the thermal load and prevents any single zone from reaching dangerous temperatures that could cause explosions or material damage, while collectively achieving high vapor production through cumulative heating效果.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a gradient temperature distribution by arranging heating elements with different resistance values and power outputs along the axial direction. This parameter variation creates a controlled temperature progression from lower to higher temperatures, enabling efficient vaporization while preventing localized overheating that could lead to explosions or material degradation.
