Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smoking products fail to effectively reduce tobacco smell on fingers, bad breath, and sidestream smoke while maintaining the taste and integrity of tobacco smoke.
Innovation Solution
The design includes specific lengths and positional relationships of filter wrappers and perforations, along with a transfer jet nozzle system filter and capsule flavoring liquid, to deliver flavoring components efficiently, reducing sidestream smoke and tobacco smell while preventing taste deterioration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a filter is added to reduce tobacco smell on fingers and bad breath, then the harmful factors are reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The filter is divided into multiple functional sections: a first filter section for reducing sidestream smoke, a second filter section for reducing tobacco smell on fingers, and a third filter section for reducing bad breath. Each section contains specific materials (such as activated carbon, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate) targeted at different harmful effects, allowing the system to address multiple problems simultaneously through modular functional segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different materials and structures are applied to different sections of the filter based on local requirements. The first filter section uses materials optimized for sidestream smoke reduction, while the second and third sections use materials specifically selected for reducing tobacco smell on fingers and bad breath respectively. This local optimization allows each part of the filter to perform its specific function most effectively.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If filter materials are added to reduce sidestream smoke, then harmful factors are reduced, but the taste of tobacco smoke deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The filter is designed with different sections having different material compositions and functional properties. The first filter section is specifically designed for sidestream smoke reduction using materials like activated carbon and magnesium oxide, while subsequent sections are designed to maintain tobacco flavor. This local differentiation allows aggressive filtration where needed while preserving taste in other areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter employs composite material structures combining multiple substances with complementary properties. For example, activated carbon is combined with magnesium oxide and calcium carbonate in specific ratios and configurations. These composite materials provide both effective sidestream smoke reduction and preservation of tobacco flavor characteristics that would be lost with single-material filters.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple filter sections are added to reduce various harmful factors, then the harmful factors are reduced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The filter is segmented into distinct sections with clear functional boundaries, each wrapped in specifically designed filter wrappers with predetermined lengths. The first filter section has a first filter wrapper, the second section has a second filter wrapper, and so on. This segmentation allows each section to be manufactured and assembled independently with standardized dimensions, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite the multi-functional nature of the filter.
Solution Approach 2:
Filter wrappers are pre-formed with specific lengths and perforation patterns before assembly. The wrappers include pre-positioned perforations at predetermined locations to ensure proper alignment and function. This preliminary preparation of components with precise features before final assembly reduces the precision requirements during the actual manufacturing and assembly process.
