Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing e-cigarette products face issues with sensor malfunction due to vaporizable solution infiltration and pressure imbalance in the e-liquid storage chamber, leading to uneven vaporization and potential dry boiling, resulting in a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
The vaporization device incorporates a design with a body housing, first and second brackets, and a connecting member, featuring grooves and openings that allow for airflow to balance pressure and prevent liquid infiltration, ensuring uniform vaporization and preventing sensor contamination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the e-liquid storage chamber is completely sealed to prevent vaporizable solution leakage, then the reliability of preventing liquid loss is improved, but the pressure balance deteriorates causing negative pressure and uneven vaporization
Solution Approach 1:
A pressure balance hole is introduced as an intermediary component in the e-liquid storage chamber. This hole allows air to enter the chamber to balance the pressure, preventing negative pressure formation while the sealed structure continues to prevent e-liquid leakage. The pressure balance hole acts as a selective mediator that permits air passage while maintaining overall sealing integrity.
2Measurement precision
If the sensor is positioned in communication with the airflow channel to detect inhalation, then the detection function is improved, but the sensor becomes vulnerable to vaporizable solution infiltration and malfunction
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor is extracted from its vulnerable position in the airflow channel and relocated to a safe position within the housing. The airflow channel is redesigned to guide air flow away from the sensor location. This separation removes the sensor from direct exposure to vaporizable solution while preserving its ability to detect inhalation through indirect airflow sensing.
3Reliability
If the vaporization chamber is sealed to prevent liquid leakage, then the reliability of preventing leakage is improved, but the uniformity of vaporization deteriorates due to negative pressure
Solution Approach 1:
A pressure balance hole is introduced as an intermediary component in the e-liquid storage chamber. This hole allows air to enter the chamber to balance the pressure, preventing negative pressure formation while the sealed structure continues to prevent e-liquid leakage. The pressure balance hole acts as a selective mediator that permits air passage while maintaining overall sealing integrity.
