Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizing cores face issues with slow atomization startup, uncontrollable tobacco tar guide speed, tobacco tar submersion, and excessive heat transfer leading to burning hot atomizer outer pipes, along with difficulties in replacing the atomizing core.

Innovation Solution

The ultrasonic electronic cigarette atomizing core features a cup-shaped tobacco tar guide cotton with a central through hole, an atomizing core sleeve with inner and outer layers to control tightness, and a downward protruding circular arc surface for efficient atomization, along with a vent groove system to reduce friction and heat transfer, and an elastic bracket to maintain contact with the atomizing piece, while the atomizer outer pipe is designed for reduced heat transfer and easy replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If tobacco tar guide cotton is placed flatwise with large contact area on the atomizing piece, then the contact area is increased, but the atomization startup time becomes slow (tens of seconds)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact areaVSAvoidatomization startup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The tobacco tar guide cotton is segmented into multiple strips rather than a single large piece. This segmentation reduces the total contact area while maintaining effective tobacco tar guidance, enabling faster atomization startup without sacrificing functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the silica gel seat axially extrudes the tobacco tar guide cotton to control tightness, then the tobacco tar guide speed is controlled, but the atomizing piece is excessively extruded affecting oscillation effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetobacco tar guide speed controlVSAvoidoscillation effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The tobacco tar guide cotton is divided into multiple independent strips that can be individually compressed. This allows for more uniform and controlled compression force distribution, preventing excessive extrusion of the atomizing piece while maintaining effective tobacco tar guidance speed control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If the tobacco tar inlet hole is vertically formed close to the atomizing piece, then the structure is simplified, but the tobacco tar guide speed becomes uncontrollable and submersion occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidtobacco tar guide speed control
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The tobacco tar guide path is segmented into multiple strips with controlled spacing and contact areas. This segmentation provides natural flow resistance control, preventing tobacco tar submersion while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure without requiring complex inlet hole designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Device complexity

If the atomizing core sleeve is single-layer pipe wall structure, then the structure is simple, but heat transfers easily to the atomizer outer pipe causing burning hot phenomenon

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidatomizer outer pipe temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The atomizing core sleeve adopts a nested multi-layer pipe wall structure where inner and outer sleeves are positioned concentrically. This nested configuration creates thermal insulation layers that reduce heat transfer to the atomizer outer pipe, preventing burning hot phenomenon while maintaining structural compactness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
