Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic cigarette atomizers face issues with tobacco tar residue accumulation, leading to odor contamination and difficulty in dismantling and replacing atomizing components.
Innovation Solution
An ultrasonic atomizer design featuring a shell, sealing cover, base, through pipe, connecting rings, loudspeaker covers, and an atomization mechanism with a tobacco tar storage bin, air inlets, and ultrasonic atomizing part, allowing for easy dismantling and replacement of atomizing cotton, ensuring full contact with the ultrasonic part and preventing odor taint.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the atomizer uses a traditional integrated structure, then the device is simpler, but the atomizing cotton cannot be easily replaced and tobacco tar residue accumulates causing odor contamination
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is divided into separate modular components: a replaceable atomizing assembly containing the atomizing cotton, an outer loudspeaker cover assembly, and an inner loudspeaker cover assembly. This segmentation allows the atomizing cotton to be independently replaced without disassembling the entire device, solving the contradiction between ease of replacement and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The atomizing cotton is extracted as a separate, removable component from the integrated atomizer structure. It can be easily removed and replaced by detaching the atomizing assembly from the housing, enabling users to replace the cotton without dealing with complex disassembly procedures of the entire device.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the atomizing cotton is repeatedly used, then the device structure remains simple, but tobacco tar residue accumulates and causes odor taint
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing cotton is designed as a disposable or frequently replaceable component rather than a permanent part. After absorbing tobacco tar residue and causing odor contamination, the cotton can be quickly replaced with a fresh piece, eliminating the need for time-consuming cleaning procedures of the entire atomizer structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The atomizing cotton is extracted as a separate removable component that can be easily taken out for replacement. This extraction allows users to remove the contaminated cotton and replace it without disassembling the entire atomizer, significantly reducing the time required to eliminate odor contamination.
3Productivity
If the atomizing cotton is tightly pressed to ensure good contact with ultrasonic part, then atomization efficiency improves, but the cotton cannot be easily replaced
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizing assembly is segmented as a separate modular unit that can be independently removed and replaced. This segmentation allows the cotton to be tightly pressed against the ultrasonic part for efficient atomization during use, while still enabling easy replacement by simply detaching the entire atomizing assembly from the housing.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the atomizing assembly and the housing is designed to be dynamically adjustable - allowing the assembly to be securely attached during operation to maintain good contact between cotton and ultrasonic part, while enabling easy detachment for replacement when needed.
