Vaporizer Seal Element With Rupturable Channel Blocking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic vaporization devices fail to prevent the transfer of the liquid substrate to the vaporization assembly before use, leading to potential leakage and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
A vaporizer design incorporating a seal element with a blocking portion and a weak region that ruptures to release the seal, allowing the liquid substrate to flow to the vaporization assembly only when needed, utilizing a squeezing member to break the weak region and enable aerosol generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the liquid channel is open to allow liquid substrate flow to the vaporization assembly, then aerosol generation is enabled, but liquid substrate leakage occurs before use
Solution Approach 1:
The seal element is pre-installed in the liquid channel to block liquid flow before use. The blocking portion is positioned to seal the channel, and the weak region is pre-positioned to rupture only when activated by the squeezing member during intended use, preventing premature leakage while enabling flow when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The seal element acts as an intermediary component between the liquid storage cavity and the vaporization assembly. It controls the liquid substrate flow by providing a seal that can be selectively broken, mediating between the closed storage state and the open vaporization state
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the seal element completely blocks the liquid channel to prevent leakage, then liquid substrate containment is improved, but aerosol production is prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The seal element is segmented into functionally distinct regions: a blocking portion for sealing the liquid channel and preventing leakage, and a weak region that can be selectively ruptured. This segmentation allows the seal to provide complete blocking when needed while enabling controlled opening for aerosol production
Solution Approach 2:
The seal element transitions from a static blocking state to a dynamic controlled-opening state. The weak region is designed to rupture under specific conditions (squeezing force), allowing the seal to adapt between complete closure for leakage prevention and controlled opening for aerosol generation
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Effectively prevents liquid substrate leakage before use and ensures efficient aerosol production by sealing the liquid channel until the weak region is broken, enhancing user experience and device performance.
Implementation Method 1
a seal element, including a blocking portion configured to seal the liquid channel
Implementation Method 2
at least one weak region, where the at least one weak region is constructed to be ruptured or broken, thereby releasing the seal of the liquid channel
Implementation Method 3
a vaporization assembly, configured to vaporize the liquid substrate to generate an aerosol

AI summary
This application provides a vaporizer, an electronic vaporization device, and a seal element for a vaporizer. The vaporizer includes: a liquid storage cavity; a vaporization assembly, configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol; a liquid channel, configured to provide a flowing path for the liquid substrate in the liquid storage cavity to flow to the vaporization assembly; and a seal element, including a blocking portion configured to seal the liquid channel and at least one weak region. The at least one weak region is constructed to be ruptured or broken, thereby releasing the seal of the liquid channel. Before use of the vaporizer, the liquid channel is sealed by the seal element to prevent the liquid substrate from being provided to the vaporization assembly; and in use, the liquid channel is unblocked by rupturing or breaking the weak region of the seal element.
