Triangular Vaporizer Air Flow Control Ring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic vaporizers lack control over the amount of vapor produced, resulting in some vapor escaping without being inhaled by the user, and do not effectively utilize air flow to enhance the vaping experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic vaporizer design featuring a triangular tubular body with air vents and an air flow control ring that allows users to regulate the amount of air drawn into and vapor escaping from the atomizer, incorporating a switchable circuit configuration between parallel and series for varying power output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple air vents are added to control vapor flow, then user control over vapor intake is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer is divided into multiple sides with individual air vents on each side, allowing independent control of air flow paths. The air flow control ring segments the vapor outlet into multiple adjustable openings, enabling precise control over vapor intake without requiring a complex overall device structure
Solution Approach 2:
The air flow control ring is designed to be rotatable or adjustable, dynamically changing the opening area of air vents and vapor outlets. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows users to control vapor intake in real-time without adding complex electronic controls or multiple discrete components
2Productivity
If air flow control mechanism is added, then vapor production control is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air flow control ring serves multiple functions simultaneously: it controls air intake through side vents, regulates vapor outlet area, and maintains structural support for the atomizer components. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate control mechanisms, simplifying manufacturing while achieving precise vapor production control
Solution Approach 2:
The invention controls vapor production by changing geometric parameters - specifically the opening area of air vents and vapor outlets through the adjustable ring. By controlling physical dimensions and opening areas rather than using complex electronic regulation, the manufacturing process remains relatively simple while achieving effective vapor production control
3Temperature
If battery cooling vents are implemented, then battery temperature control is improved, but device structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air vents serve dual purposes: controlling vapor flow into the atomizer and providing cooling air flow to the battery. By merging these two functions into the same structural elements (the side vents and air flow paths), the invention avoids adding separate cooling vents or thermal management structures, thus improving battery temperature control without increasing device structure complexity

AI summary
An electronic vaporizer including one or more air vents. The electronic vaporizer includes a triangular tubular body for housing a battery, a triangular-shaped atomizer coupled to a first end of the tubular body, the atomizer including a drip tip, a base plate, and an aperture positioned at each side of the atomizer, where each vent aperture permits air to flow into the atomizer, and a triangular-shaped base coupled to an opposing end of the tubular body. The atomizer further includes an air flow control ring for controlling the amount of air drawn into and vapor escaping the atomizer.
