[0056] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention unless otherwise specifically stated.
[0057] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.
[0058] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.
[0059] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0060] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0061] First, the atomization device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 18 As shown, the atomization device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1 and an atomization core 6 .
[0063] Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 22 and an air inlet 31, the inner cavity of the housing 1 includes an oil storage chamber 4, an atomizing chamber 5 and an air inlet channel 11, the inner cavity of the housing 1 is provided with an air outlet pipe 21 extending along a first direction, the oil storage chamber 4 is used to store the medium to be atomized, the air outlet pipe 21 connects the atomizing chamber 5 and the air inlet 22, the air inlet end 111 of the air inlet channel 11 is connected with the air inlet 31, the air outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 is connected with the atomizing chamber 5, the atomizing core 6 is located between the oil storage chamber 4 and the atomizing chamber 5, along the second direction, the atomizing core 6 is arranged between the air outlet pipe 21 and the housing 1, the first direction and the second direction are not parallel, and the atomizing core 6 is used to atomize the medium to be atomized and release the aerosol toward the atomizing chamber 5. Wherein, along the second direction, relative to the air outlet pipe 21, the air outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 is close to the atomizing core 6, so that the air inlet channel 11 is connected to the atomizing chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizing core 6.
[0064] In other words, the atomization device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mainly composed of a shell 1 and an atomization core 6. The shell 1 has an inner cavity, and an air outlet pipe 21 is provided in the inner cavity. An air inlet 22 and an air inlet 31 are also provided on the shell 1, wherein the air outlet pipe 21 can be connected to the air inlet 22, and the air outlet pipe 21 can be connected to the outside atmosphere through the air inlet 22.
[0065] The inner cavity of the housing 1 includes an oil storage cavity 4 and an atomizing cavity 5, and an atomizing core 6 is located between the oil storage cavity 4 and the atomizing cavity 5. That is, an atomizing core 6 is also installed in the inner cavity, and the first side of the atomizing core 6 can be exposed to the oil storage cavity 4, and the second side of the atomizing core 6 can be exposed to the atomizing cavity 5. The medium to be atomized contained in the oil storage cavity 4 can enter the atomizing core 6, flow from the first side of the atomizing core 6 to the second side of the atomizing core 6, and be heated by the heated atomizing core 6. The atomizing core 6 can heat and atomize the liquid matrix such as the cigarette oil to produce an aerosol, that is, smoke, to achieve atomization in the atomizing cavity 5. That is, the atomizing core 6 is used to atomize the medium to be atomized and release the aerosol toward the atomizing cavity 5. The atomizing cavity 5 may refer to a space where the atomizing core 6 heats the atomized cigarette oil and mixes with the air entering from the air inlet channel 11.
[0066] Moreover, the air outlet pipe 21 is connected to the atomizing chamber 5 and the air inlet 22, and the inner cavity of the housing 1 also includes an air inlet channel 11, and the air inlet channel 11 has an air inlet end 111 and an air outlet end 112, and the air inlet end 111 is connected to the air inlet 31, and the air outlet end 112 is connected to the air outlet pipe 21, that is, the atomizing chamber 5 is connected to the air outlet pipe 21 and the air outlet end 112 respectively, and the air inlet 31 can be connected to the atomizing chamber 5 through the air inlet channel 11, and the external gas can first flow into the air inlet channel 11 through the air inlet 31, and then flow into the atomizing chamber 5 through the air inlet channel 11. When the user inhales through the air inlet 22, the external gas can flow into the air inlet channel 11 through the air inlet 31, and then flow into the atomizing chamber 5 through the air outlet 112 and mix with the atomized smoke to form an aerosol, and then the aerosol enters the air outlet pipe 21 and is inhaled by the user through the air inlet 22.
[0067] It should be noted that the air outlet pipe 21 provided in the inner cavity of the housing 1 extends in the first direction, for example, the air outlet pipe 21 extends in the up-down direction and is a straight air outlet pipe. By shortening the total length of the air outlet pipe 21, it is avoided that the aerosol takes a long time to reach the air inlet 22 and forms droplets and hangs on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 21, which is conducive to improving the user's taste. In addition, by adopting the air outlet pipe 21 extending in the first direction, the size of the air outlet pipe 21 in other directions in the three-dimensional space, such as the size in the second direction or the third direction, can be reduced, which is conducive to meeting the design requirements of thin electronic cigarettes.
[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, along the second direction, the atomizer core 6 is arranged between the air outlet pipe 21 and the shell 1, and the first direction and the second direction are non-parallel, that is, in the second direction, at least one side of the air outlet pipe 21 is spaced apart from the inner side surface of the shell 1, and the atomizer core 6 is located between the air outlet pipe 21 and the inner side surface of the shell 1. For example, the left side of the air outlet pipe 21 is spaced apart from the inner side surface of the shell 1, and the atomizer core 6 is located on the left side of the air outlet pipe 21.
[0069] For example, the shell 1 is a three-dimensional solid piece, and the shell 1 has at least a length direction, a width direction and a thickness direction. The first direction may be the length direction of the shell 1, the second direction may be the width direction, and the third direction may be the thickness direction. The first direction is a substantially vertical direction, in which case the second direction may be a substantially horizontal direction or may extend obliquely relative to the horizontal direction, which is not limited here. In the second direction, by arranging the atomizer core 6 between the air outlet pipe 21 and the shell 1, the side wall of the shell 1, the atomizer core 6 and the air outlet pipe 21 may be arranged roughly along the second direction, which may avoid causing an increase in the dimensions in other directions in the three-dimensional space, such as the dimensions in the first direction or the third direction. When the width direction of the shell 1 is a left-right direction, the atomizer core 6 is located on the right side of the left inner wall surface of the shell 1, and on the left side of the air outlet pipe 21. That is to say, in the width direction of the shell 1, the atomizer core 6 can be installed in the space between the inner wall surface of the shell 1 and the outer wall surface of the air outlet pipe 21, which is not only conducive to the smoke formed by the atomizer core 6 and the air flowing in through the air outlet end 112 to be fully mixed and then turned into the air outlet pipe 21; it is also conducive to ensuring the area of the atomizer core 6 exposed to the oil storage chamber 4, which is conducive to absorbing more medium to be atomized at the same time; and it is also conducive to making full use of the space in the width direction of the shell 1, which is conducive to designing a thinner shell 1.
[0070] For another example, the first direction is the up-down direction, and the second direction is the left-right direction. By arranging the left side wall of the shell 1, the atomizer core 6, and the air outlet pipe 21 along the left-right direction, it is possible to avoid increasing the size of the shell 1 in the front-to-back direction, which is conducive to achieving a thin design in the front-to-back direction.
[0071] For another example, when the user draws air from the air inlet 22, the length direction of the housing 1 may be from the outside to the air inlet 22, such as from the air inlet 31 to the air inlet 22. The width direction of the housing 1 may be roughly the direction of the line connecting the two corners of the user's mouth, and correspondingly, the thickness direction of the housing 1 may be the direction of the user's lips opening and closing. It can be seen that by arranging the left side wall of the housing 1, the atomizer core 6, and the air outlet pipe 21 along the direction of the user's mouth corners, it is helpful to reduce the thickness of the housing 1 in the direction of the lips opening and closing, and realize the thin design of the housing 1, which is convenient for the user to draw air.
[0072] In addition, along the second direction, the outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 is closer to the atomizer core 6 than the outlet pipe 21, so that the air inlet channel 11 is connected to the atomizer chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizer core 6. After the external air flowing in from the air inlet 31 enters the air inlet channel 11, it flows to the position of the outlet end 112 close to the atomizer core 6, flows into the atomizer chamber 5, and then after mixing with the smoke oil formed in the atomizer chamber 5 to form an aerosol, the aerosol flows to the position of the air outlet pipe 21. It can be seen that the distance between the air outlet pipe 21 and the atomizer chamber 5 is relatively far, which can improve the mixing degree of the air and the smoke oil in the atomizer chamber 5.
[0073] For example, the second direction is the left-right direction. In the left-right direction, the minimum distance between the air outlet end 112 and the air outlet pipe 21 is the first distance, and the minimum distance between the air outlet end 112 and the atomizer core 6 is the second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance. It should be noted that the minimum distance between the air outlet end 112 and the atomizer core 6 can be calculated as the distance between the center position of the air outlet end 113 and the outer edge of the atomizer core 6. When the thickness of the air outlet pipe 21 is not large, the minimum distance between the air outlet end 112 and the air outlet pipe 21 can be calculated as the distance between the center position of the air outlet end 113 and the outer edge of the air outlet pipe 21; when the thickness of the air outlet pipe 21 is large, the minimum distance between the air outlet end 112 and the air outlet pipe 21 can be calculated as the distance between the center position of the air outlet end 113 and the inner edge of the air outlet pipe 21. When the second direction is the width direction of the shell 1 , relative to the air outlet pipe 21 , the air outlet end 112 is closer to the atomizer core 6 in the width direction of the shell 1 , which is conducive to the airflow flowing in through the air inlet 31 entering the atomizer chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizer core 6 .
[0074] Therefore, the atomizer device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention adopts a combination of the shell 1 and the atomizer core 6. On the one hand, along the second direction, the atomizer core 6 is arranged between the air outlet pipe 21 and the shell 1, which is conducive to the design of a thin atomizer device 100; on the other hand, the air inlet channel 11 is connected to the atomizer chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizer core 6. The aerosol formed in the atomizer chamber 5 can enter the air outlet pipe 21 only after the flow direction needs to be turned to the first direction, which is conducive to the full mixing of air and atomized tobacco oil and improves the user's taste.
[0075] Alternatively, if Figure 6 As shown, the atomizer core 6 includes a flow-guiding matrix 61 and a heating element 62. The flow-guiding matrix 61 is connected to the oil storage chamber 4 and the atomizing chamber 5 respectively. The flow-guiding matrix 61 is used to absorb the medium to be atomized, and the heating element 62 is arranged on the flow-guiding matrix 61. Among them, the flow-guiding matrix 61 can play a role in absorbing the medium to be atomized in the oil storage chamber 4, and the heating element 62 arranged on the flow-guiding matrix 61 can generate heat when power is turned on. The heat can heat the medium to be atomized in the flow-guiding matrix 61 near the heating element, thereby realizing the atomization of the medium to be atomized. Optionally, the flow-guiding matrix 61 is a ceramic porous body, and the heating element 62 can be a heating wire.
[0076] Optionally, the flow-guiding substrate 61 has a liquid absorption surface 611 and an atomization surface 612 disposed opposite to each other, for example, the upper surface of the flow-guiding substrate 61 constitutes the liquid absorption surface 611, and the lower surface of the flow-guiding substrate 61 constitutes the atomization surface 612. In this embodiment, the heating element 62 can be disposed on the atomization surface 612, and the smoke oil can enter the atomization surface 612 from the liquid absorption surface 611, and vaporize to form an aerosol under the heating effect of the heating element 62, and can be discharged from the atomization surface 612.
[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, which reduces the difficulty of installing the atomizer core 6 and the like in the inner cavity of the housing 1. In addition, it is also beneficial to improve the mixing degree of the air and the smoke oil in the atomizer chamber 5. For example, the first direction can be the up-down direction, and the second direction can be the left-right direction. At this time, the atomizer core 6 is located on the left side of the air outlet pipe 21 and the right side of the left side wall of the housing 1. Since the atomizer chamber 5 is located on the lower side of the atomizer core 6, after flowing into the atomizer chamber 5 from the air outlet end 112, it mixes with the smoke oil formed in the atomizer chamber 5 to form an aerosol. The aerosol then flows roughly to the right, and flows upward to the air outlet pipe 21 after the turning flow, thereby improving the mixing degree of the air and the smoke oil in the atomizer chamber 5. Among them, the left and right here are only for example, and the arrangement of the atomizer core 6 and the air outlet pipe 21 of the present invention is not limited to the left-right direction.
[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the projection of the outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 in the first direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the atomizer core 6 in the first direction. For example, the first direction is the up-down direction, and at least a portion of the projection of the outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 in the up-down direction falls into the atomizer core 6. In this embodiment, in the second direction, the outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 is closer to the atomizer core 6, which can ensure that the gas is connected to the atomizer chamber 5 from the side closer to the atomizer core 6.
[0079] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the projection of a certain component in a certain direction refers to the projection formed by the projected light extending along the direction on a plane perpendicular to the light. For example, the projection of the air outlet 112 in the vertical direction refers to the projection of the air outlet 112 on a horizontal plane under the vertical light, which is the direct projection of the projected light extending along the vertical direction.
[0080] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the projection of the air inlet end 111 of the air inlet channel 11 in the first direction is at least partially offset from the projection of the atomizer core 6 in the first direction. For example, the first direction is the up-down direction, and the projection of the air outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 in the up-down direction is located outside the atomizer core 6. In this embodiment, even if the atomizer core 6 and the air inlet channel 11 are offset in the second direction, the air inlet channel 11 can be connected to the atomizer chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizer core 6.
[0081] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the second direction, the air inlet 22 is located on the center line of the shell 1. For example, the second direction is the left-right direction. The air inlet 22 is located on the transverse center line of the shell 1 and is located at the upper center part of the shell 1, which is not only convenient for the user to hold and inhale, but also convenient for setting a straight air outlet pipe 21.
[0082] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in the second direction, the projection of the atomizer core 6 partially overlaps with the projection of the air outlet pipe 21. For example, the second direction is the left-right direction, and under the projection of the light extending in the horizontal direction, the lower end of the projection of the air outlet pipe 21 on the vertical plane can fall into the atomizer core 6, which is not only convenient for shortening the size in the first direction, but also can make full use of the space in the second direction, and is also conducive to achieving simultaneous sealing of the air outlet pipe 21 and the atomizer core 6.
[0083] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the atomization device 100 also includes a diverter plate 10, which is installed in the housing 1. A diverter hole 101 is provided on the diverter plate 10. The projection of the diverter hole 101 in the first direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 in the first direction. The outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 is connected to the atomization chamber 5 through the diverter hole 101, so that the air inlet channel is connected to the atomization chamber 5 through the diverter hole 101 from the side close to the atomization core 6.
[0084] That is, the atomization device 100 further includes a diverter plate 10, which is located in the inner cavity of the housing 1, and the diverter plate 10 can be located in the atomization chamber 5. The diverter hole 101 is provided at a portion of the diverter plate 10 corresponding to the atomization core 6, and the diverter hole 101 is respectively connected to the air inlet channel 11 and the atomization chamber 5. The airflow flowing in from the air inlet 31 can first enter the air inlet channel 11, and then flow to the atomization chamber 5 through the diverter hole 101, so that the air and the atomized e-liquid can be fully mixed in the atomization chamber 5.
[0085] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple diversion holes 101 , and the use of multiple diversion holes 101 is beneficial to improving the diversion effect.
[0086] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 includes a shell 2 and a base 3, the shell 2 is provided with an air outlet pipe 21 and an air inlet 22, the base 3 is mounted on the shell 2, and the base 3 is provided with an air inlet 31. Among them, at least part of the diverter plate 10 is installed between the atomizer core 6 and the base 3, and the air inlet channel 11 is formed between the diverter plate 10 and the base 3, so that the air inlet channel is connected to the atomizer chamber 5 through the diverter hole 101 from the side close to the atomizer core 6. For example, the lower end of the shell 2 is provided with an opening, the upper end of the shell 2 is provided with an air inlet 22, and the base 3 is covered at the lower end opening position of the shell 2.
[0087] In this embodiment, when the base 3 is mounted on the housing 2, the base 3 and the housing 2 can cooperate to form an inner cavity of the housing 1. In addition, the housing 1 includes the housing 2 and the base 3, which is convenient for assembling and disassembling the structure inside the housing 1, such as assembling the atomizer core 6. In addition, at least part of the diverter plate 10 is installed between the atomizer core 6 and the base 3, for example, the diverter plate 10 can be installed on the base 3.
[0088] Moreover, an air inlet channel 11 connected to the air inlet 31 is formed between the diverter plate 10 and the base 3, which facilitates the formation of the air inlet channel 11 and helps ensure that the air inlet channel 11 is smoothly connected to the atomizing chamber 5 through the diverter hole 101 from the side close to the atomizing core 6. For example, in the first direction, the atomizing chamber 5 is located above the diverter plate 10, and in the second direction, the air inlet 31 on the base 3 is located on the right side of the atomizing core 6, and the air outlet end 112 of the air inlet channel 11 is respectively located on the left side of the air inlet 31 and the air outlet pipe 21. The gas flowing out of the air inlet channel 11 passes through the diverter hole 101 on the side close to the atomizing core 6, and then mixes with the atomized smoke oil in the atomizing chamber 5. The mixed aerosol flows to the right and finally flows into the air outlet pipe 21.
[0089] Optionally, the housing 1 may be made of a transparent or translucent material to facilitate observation of the internal structure and enhance the sense of technology and aesthetics.
[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the second direction, the air inlet 31 is located at the center of the base 3, that is, located on the center line of the base 3 in the second direction. That is to say, the line connecting the two ends of the base 3 in the second direction has the longest distance, and the air inlet 31 is close to the middle position of the line connecting the longest distance. In this embodiment, by limiting the air inlet 31 to be located at the center of the base 3 in the second direction, it is beneficial to extend the distance between the air inlet 31 and the air outlet 112, extend the path of the air flow from the air inlet 31 to the atomizing chamber 5, and form a tortuous gas path, which is beneficial to the air flow in the atomizing chamber 5. The medium formed by atomization is fully mixed.
[0091] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the base 3 is provided with an air inlet pipe 32, one end of the air inlet pipe 32 is connected to the air inlet 31, and the side wall of the air inlet pipe 32 is provided with an air inlet end 111. That is to say, the base 3 may be provided with an air inlet 31, and the air inlet pipe 32 may be provided with a gas channel, and the gas channel may be connected to the air inlet 31 and the air inlet channel 11 respectively, and the air flow flowing in from the air inlet 31 may first flow into the gas channel, then flow to the air inlet channel 11, and then flow to the atomization chamber 5 through the diverter hole 101, so that the atomized smoke oil can be fully mixed with the air before entering the air outlet pipe 21. It can be seen that by providing the air inlet pipe 32 on the base 3, it is beneficial to connect the air inlet 31 and the air inlet channel 11. In addition, the air inlet end 111 may be provided on the side wall of the air inlet pipe 32, that is, the air inlet end 111 is provided on the side wall of the air inlet pipe 32, and at this time, the end of the air inlet pipe 32 may have a large distance from the base 3, which is beneficial to the design of a larger volume of the air inlet channel 11. During processing, an air intake pipe 32 may be processed on the base 3 , and the air intake pipe 32 may also be called an airflow baffle rib.
[0092] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 3 is provided with an air inlet pipe 32, one end of the air inlet pipe 32 is communicated with the air inlet port 31, the other end of the air inlet pipe 32 is in contact with the diverter plate 10, and the air inlet pipe 32 is provided with a notch 321, and the notch 321 and the diverter plate 10 are enclosed to form an air inlet end 111. For example, the atomizing chamber 5 is located above the diverter plate 10, the air inlet pipe 32 is located on the right side of the atomizing core 6, and the air inlet pipe 32 extends in the up-down direction, and the upper end of the air inlet pipe 32 is provided with a notch 321 near the edge on the left side, and the diverter plate 10 is in contact with the upper end of the air inlet pipe 32, that is, the other positions on the upper end face of the air inlet pipe 32 except the notch 321 are closed by the diverter plate 10. At this time, the diverter plate 10 and the notch 321 are enclosed to form the air inlet end 111, and the other parts of the upper end of the air inlet pipe 32 are blocked by the diverter plate 10. Air flows upward from the air inlet 31, and may first enter the air inlet pipe 32 extending in the up-down direction, and turn leftward through the notch 321 of the air inlet pipe 32 to the air inlet channel 11 on the side where the atomizer core 6 is located, and then the gas in the air inlet channel 11 passes through the diverter hole 101, that is, after being diverted by the diverter hole 101, it enters the position where the atomizer core 6 is located, and mixes with the atomized e-liquid in the atomizer chamber 5, which is conducive to full mixing. The fully mixed aerosol flows to the right, that is, flows to the right from the atomizer chamber 5 to the air outlet pipe 21.
[0093] In this embodiment, by limiting the end of the air inlet pipe 32 to have a notch 321, and the notch 321 and the diverter plate 10 enclose the air inlet end 111, not only can the air inlet channel 11 and the gas channel of the air inlet pipe 32 be connected, but also the direction of the airflow can be controlled, which is beneficial for the airflow to flow toward the side where the atomizer core 6 is located; and the end of the air inlet pipe 32 can be abutted against the diverter plate 10, which is beneficial for limiting the position of the diverter plate 10.
[0094] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the projection of the air inlet 31 in the first direction is staggered from the projection of the atomizer core 6 in the first direction. In other words, the projection of the air inlet 31 in the first direction is located outside the atomizer core 6, which is convenient for extending the length of the airflow path between the air inlet 31 and the atomizer core 6.
[0095] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the projection of the air inlet 31 in the first direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the atomizer core 6 in the first direction. That is, the projection of the air inlet 31 in the first direction can at least partially fall into the atomizer core 6, which is convenient for shortening the distance between the air inlet 31 and the atomizer core 6 in the second direction, and can be applied to the housing 1 with limited size in the second direction.
[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the atomization device 100 further includes a first conductive nail 91 and a second conductive nail 92, wherein the projection of the first conductive nail 91 in the first direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the atomization core 6 in the first direction, and the projection of the second conductive nail 92 in the first direction is staggered with the projection of the atomization core 6 in the first direction, and the second conductive nail 92 is electrically connected to the atomization core 6 via the spring clip 13.
[0097] That is, a conductive member 9 may be provided on the housing 1, and the conductive member 9 includes a positive conductive portion and a negative conductive portion, that is, one of the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 is a positive conductive portion, and the other is a negative conductive portion. The conductive member 9 may be electrically connected to the heating element 62 to atomize the medium to be atomized.
[0098] Among them, the projection of the first conductive nail 91 in the first direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the atomizer core 6 in the first direction, that is, at least part of the projection of the first conductive nail 91 in the first direction falls into the atomizer core 6. The projection of the second conductive nail 92 in the first direction is staggered with the projection of the atomizer core 6 in the first direction, that is, the projection of the second conductive nail 92 in the first direction falls outside the atomizer core 6. It can be seen that in the first direction, the distance between the end of the first conductive nail 91 and the atomizer core 6 is shorter, and the distance between the end of the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6 is longer, and the spring 13 is conducive to the electrical connection between the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6.
[0099] Optionally, the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 are straight pieces extending in the first direction. For example, the first conductive nail 91 has a first length L1 in the first direction, and the second conductive nail 92 has a second length L2 in the first direction. The first length L1 is greater than the second length L2. The first conductive nail 91 with the first length L1 abuts against the heating element 62 of the atomizer core 6, and the second conductive nail 92 with the second length L2 is indirectly connected to the heating element 62 of the atomizer core 6 through the spring sheet 13. For another example, the first conductive nail 91 with a longer length is a positive conductive part, and the upper end of the positive conductive part directly abuts against the positive abutting sheet on the atomizer core 6. The second conductive nail 92 with a shorter length is a negative conductive part, and the upper end of the negative conductive part can be sleeved with a conductive spring sheet 13.
[0100] In addition, the first conductive nail 91 can abut against the heating element 62 of the atomizer core 6, limit the atomizer core 6, and realize the electrical connection with the heating element 62. The second conductive nail 92 can be electrically connected to the spring 13 to realize the indirect connection between the atomizer core 6 and the second conductive nail 92. For example, the second conductive nail 92 is close to the inner wall surface of the shell 1. At this time, the indirect connection between the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6 can be realized by designing the shape and / or position of the spring 13. For another example, the second conductive nail 92 is close to the middle part of the shell 1. At this time, the indirect connection between the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6 can also be realized by controlling the shape and / or position of the spring 13. In addition, the spring 13 with a simple structure avoids the second conductive nail 92 from affecting the size of the space in the atomizer chamber 5.
[0101] Optionally, the spring sheet 13 is provided with a slot, which can be fitted and connected with the second conductive nail 92 by interference, so as to facilitate assembly and ensure stable connection. After being assembled with the second conductive nail 92, the spring sheet 13 can be connected with the negative contact piece of the heating element 62 by interference.
[0102] Optionally, the atomizer core 6 further includes a contact piece, which can contact the first conductive nail 91 and the spring piece 13 to conduct electricity, thereby ensuring an effective electrical connection area.
[0103] It should be noted that by electrically connecting the second conductive nail 92 to the atomizer core 6 through the spring clip 13, it is beneficial to achieve the electrical connection between the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6. The spring clip 13 is a conductive material piece, that is, a conductive spring clip, and the material used can be metal, and the conductive connection can be achieved through the spring clip 13. Moreover, since the spring clip 13 is elastic, the second conductive nail 92 is connected to the atomizer core 6 through the spring clip 13, and elastic extrusion can be used to improve the reliability of the assembly and the positioning effect of the atomizer core 6. In addition, the spring clip 13 can also be used to achieve an indirect connection between the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6, especially when the distance is long or staggered, which is beneficial to improve the freedom and arrangement flexibility of the relative position of the second conductive nail 92 and the atomizer core 6. For example, the spring clip 13 can establish an electrical connection between the atomizer core 6 and the second conductive nail 92 that are staggered both horizontally and vertically.
[0104] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 are distributed on the base 3 at intervals in the first direction. For example, the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 are distributed at intervals in the transverse direction. This is advantageous in that, without further changing the conductive nail mounting holes on the existing base 3, an air inlet channel 11 can be provided between the air inlet 31 and the atomization chamber 5, so that not only the electrical connection between the conductive part and the atomization core 6 can be achieved, but also the air inlet channel 11 can be connected to the atomization chamber 5 from the side close to the atomization core 6.
[0105] Optionally, the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 may be located on the same side of the air inlet 31 , which is preferably suitable for the housing 1 with a larger size in the second direction.
[0106] Optionally, the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 may be located on different sides of the air inlet 31, which is preferably suitable for the housing 1 with a smaller size in the second direction. Figure 1 As shown, in the second direction, the first conductive nail 91 is located on one side of the air inlet 31, and the second conductive nail 92 is located on the other side of the air inlet 31. For example, the first conductive nail 91 is located on the left side of the air inlet 31, and the second conductive nail 92 is located on the right side of the air inlet 31, which is conducive to being suitable for the housing 1 with a smaller size in the second direction.
[0107] Optionally, when the housing 1 includes a base 3, a conductive member 9 may be provided on the base 3, that is, a first conductive nail 91 and a second conductive nail 92 are installed, and the second conductive nail 92 is electrically connected to the atomizer core 6 through a spring 13. Optionally, at least a portion of the spring 13 may be installed on the base 3.
[0108] Optionally, the first conductive nail 91 and the second conductive nail 92 can be combined with the base 3 by interference fitting, which facilitates assembly and ensures sealing and tightness of assembly.
[0109] Optionally, at least a portion of the spring piece 13 is fixed to the base 3 by riveting, so that the spring piece 13 can be quickly fixed.
[0110] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, in the first direction, at least a portion of the diverter plate 10 is clamped and fixed between the base 3 and the spring sheet 13, and the diverter plate 10 can be limited by the base 3 and the spring sheet 13, which has the advantages of good fixing effect, easy operation, simple structure, etc.
[0111] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the atomization device 100 also includes a ventilation member 7, which is arranged in the housing 1. The ventilation member 7 balances the pressure difference between the oil storage chamber 4 and the atomization chamber 5 through the ventilation channel. In the second direction, the atomization core 6 is located on one side of the outlet pipe 21, and the ventilation member 7 is located on the other side of the outlet pipe 21.
[0112] That is, a ventilation member 7 is also installed in the housing 1, and the ventilation member 7 has a ventilation channel, which is respectively connected to the oil storage chamber 4 and the atomization chamber 5, and the pressure difference in the oil storage chamber 4 and the atomization chamber 5 can be balanced through the ventilation channel. For example, as the user inhales, the pressure in the oil storage chamber 4 gradually decreases, and gas can be added to the oil storage chamber 4 through the ventilation channel.
[0113] In addition, in the second direction, the atomizer core 6 is located on one side of the air outlet pipe 21, and the ventilation member 7 is located on the other side of the air outlet pipe 21, that is, in the second direction, at least two sides of the air outlet pipe 21 are spaced apart from the inner side of the housing 1. For example, the left side of the air outlet pipe 21 is spaced apart from the inner side of the housing 1, and the atomizer core 6 is located on the left side of the air outlet pipe 21; the right side of the air outlet pipe 21 is spaced apart from the inner side of the housing 1, and the ventilation member 7 is located on the right side of the air outlet pipe 21, that is, in the second direction, the ventilation member 7 can be installed in the space between the inner wall surface of the housing 1 and the outer wall surface of the air outlet pipe 21, which is not only conducive to ensuring that the area of the ventilation member 7 exposed to the oil storage chamber 4 is large, thereby facilitating the improvement of ventilation efficiency; but also conducive to utilizing the space in the second direction, and conducive to designing a thinner housing 1. It can be seen that in the second direction, the atomizer core 6 is located on one side of the air outlet pipe 21, and the ventilation member 7 is located on the other side of the air outlet pipe 21, which can fully utilize the space in the second direction of the housing 1, reduce the space occupied in the third direction of the housing 1, and facilitate the realization of the requirement of a narrow thickness of the housing 1.
[0114] It can be seen that in this embodiment, by arranging the ventilation member 7 and the atomizer core 6 on both sides of the second direction of the air outlet pipe 21, on the one hand, the aerosol formed in the atomizer chamber 5 can enter the air outlet pipe 21 only after the flow direction needs to be changed, which is conducive to the full mixing of air and atomized tobacco oil; on the other hand, arranging the ventilation member 7 and the atomizer core 6 in the second direction is conducive to reducing the size of the shell 1 in the third direction. For example, arranging the ventilation member 7 and the atomizer core 6 in the width direction of the shell 1 avoids the ventilation member 7 and the atomizer core 6 occupying too much space in the thickness direction, which is conducive to adapting to a thinner shell 1, that is, a shell 1 with a narrower thickness; on the other hand, it is conducive to simultaneous liquid discharge and ventilation, which can not only ensure the ventilation efficiency, but also avoid the tobacco oil in the oil storage chamber 4 from failing to flow down to the atomizer core 6 for atomization in time, thereby ensuring the liquid discharge efficiency, ensuring that there is sufficient tobacco oil for heating and atomization, and avoiding dry burning and the like.
[0115] Optionally, the ventilation channel can achieve ventilation and liquid-proof functions of the ventilation channel through its own structure or in cooperation with a movable sealing structure.
[0116] Optionally, the ventilation member 7 can form a ventilation channel alone, or the ventilation member 7 can form a ventilation channel in cooperation with the sealing member 8. That is, the ventilation channel can be a channel arranged on the ventilation member 7, or a channel defined by cooperation between the ventilation member 7 installed on the sealing member 8 and the sealing member 8. When the ventilation member 7 cooperates with the sealing member 8 to form the ventilation channel, the sealing member 8 can not only play a sealing role, but also play a role in forming a part of the ventilation channel.
[0117] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, in the first direction, at least a portion of the air outlet pipe 21 is located between the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7. That is, in the second direction, at least a portion of the projection of the air outlet pipe 21 falls into the projections of the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 at the same time. For example, the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 are spaced apart and distributed in the transverse direction, and in the vertical direction, the lower end of the air outlet pipe 21 can be located between the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7. That is, under the projection condition of the light in the horizontal direction, the projection of the lower end of the air outlet pipe 21 on the vertical plane has an overlapping area with the projections of the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7.
[0118] In the present embodiment, in the first direction, a part or all of the air outlet pipe 21 is located between the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7. On the one hand, the aerosol in the atomizer chamber 5 can be transported to the air outlet pipe 21 without providing an additional transfer structure. On the other hand, it is helpful to reduce the gap between the outer surface of the air outlet pipe 21 and the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7, so as to facilitate effective sealing by the sealing member 8 with a relatively simple structure and a relatively small volume, thereby preventing the smoke oil in the oil storage chamber 4 from leaking into the atomizer chamber 5. On the other hand, it is helpful for the uniformly mixed aerosol in the atomizer chamber 5 to flow smoothly into the air outlet pipe 21.
[0119] Optionally, along the second direction, the air outlet pipe 21 is located in the middle of the shell 1, which is not only conducive to processing and manufacturing, but also conducive to installing the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation component 7 in parallel and at the same time in the second direction, so that liquid can be discharged and ventilation can be carried out at the same time, and the liquid discharge efficiency and ventilation efficiency can be guaranteed at the same time.
[0120] Optionally, a portion of the seal 8 is located between the housing 1 and the atomizer core 6 to form a seal, and another portion of the seal 8 is located between the housing 1 and the ventilation member 7 to form a seal. For example, the seal 8 is simultaneously sleeved on the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 to form a seal at the same time. In other words, the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 can share a seal 8. For example, by adopting a method of sleeved on the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7, it has the effect of facilitating installation. Among them, when the seal 8 seals the atomizer core 6, leakage between the side of the atomizer core 6 and the inner wall of the housing 1 can be avoided. When the seal 8 seals the ventilation member 7, leakage between the ventilation member 7 and the inner wall surface of the housing 1 caused by the provision of the ventilation member 7 can also be avoided. Optionally, the inner side wall of the seal 8 is respectively interference-sealed with the outer side wall of the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7, which can effectively prevent the liquid in the oil storage chamber 4 from leaking into the atomizer chamber 5.
[0121] When the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 are arranged side by side in the second direction, it is more convenient for the sealing member 8 to be applied to both the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7. For example, the second direction is the left-right direction, and the left part of the sealing member 8 can seal the atomizer core 6, and the right part of the sealing member 8 can seal the ventilation member 7.
[0122] In this embodiment, the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 are sealed by the same sealing member 8, so that the space occupied by the sealing structure can be reduced, thereby facilitating the reduction of the size of the housing 1. In addition, during assembly, the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 can be assembled on the same sealing member 8, which improves the ease of assembly.
[0123] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the sealing member 8 is provided with a first cavity 82, a second cavity 83 and a third cavity 84. Among them, the atomizer core 6 can be installed in the first cavity 82, the second cavity 83 is connected to the air outlet pipe 21 and the atomizer cavity 5, and the ventilation member 7 is installed in the third cavity 84. In this embodiment, by providing the sealing member 8, not only can the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 be installed at the same time, but also the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 can be sealed at the same time, and it is also beneficial for the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 to be arranged on both sides of the air outlet pipe 21. In addition, during installation, the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 can be assembled to the sealing member 8 at the same time as a small whole, and then the small whole can be assembled together into the inner cavity of the housing 1.
[0124] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the air outlet pipe 21 is inserted into the second cavity 83. For example, the lower end of the air outlet pipe 21 is inserted into the second cavity 83, which is conducive to achieving that at least part of the air outlet pipe 21 is located between the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation component 7.
[0125] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the first cavity 82, the second cavity 83 and the third cavity 84 are arranged in sequence along the second direction. For example, the first cavity 82, the second cavity 83 and the third cavity 84 are spaced apart and distributed in the transverse direction. In this embodiment, by arranging the first cavity 82, the second cavity 83 and the third cavity 84 in sequence along the second direction, it is beneficial to arrange the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 along the second direction, and it is also beneficial to arrange the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation member 7 on both sides of the outlet pipe 21 in the second direction.
[0126] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the sealing member 8 includes a top plate 85, a first side plate 86 and a second side plate 87. Specifically, the top plate 85 is arranged near the oil storage chamber 4, and a first through hole corresponding to the first cavity 82, a second through hole corresponding to the second cavity 83 and a third through hole corresponding to the third cavity 84 are provided on the top plate 85. The first side plate 86 is arranged at the outer periphery of the top plate 85 and is located on a side of the top plate 85 close to the atomization chamber 5. The second side plate 87 and the first side plate 86 are located on the same side of the top plate 85. The second side plate 87 is arranged at the middle position of the top plate 85 and corresponds to the second through hole. The second side plate 87 and the first side plate 86 enclose the first cavity 82, the second cavity 83 and the third cavity 84 respectively.
[0127] That is to say, the sealing member 8 is mainly composed of a top plate 85, a first side plate 86 and a second side plate 87. For example, the top plate 85 is arranged roughly in the horizontal direction, the first side plate 86 is arranged roughly in the vertical direction and is enclosed at the outer periphery of the top plate 85, and the second side plate 87 and the first side plate 86 are both located below the top plate 85. The first side plate 86 and the second side plate 87 can cooperate to form a first cavity 82, a second cavity 83 and a third cavity 84. For example, the inner wall surface of the first side plate 86 can form a first cavity 82 located on the left side of the second side plate 87 and a second cavity 83 located on the right side of the second side plate 87 with the outer surface of the second side plate 87. The second side plate 87 can also form the second cavity 83 by itself, or enclose the second cavity 83 with the first side plate 86. In this embodiment, the sealing member 8 includes a top plate 85, a first side plate 86 and a second side plate 87, which are conducive to forming a first cavity 82 for installing the atomization core 6, a second cavity 83 connecting the air outlet pipe 21 and the atomization cavity 5, and a third cavity 84 for installing the ventilation member 7.
[0128] Optionally, the second side plate 87 can also be called a positioning rib or a sealing rib, which can position the atomizer core 6 or the ventilation component 7, and facilitate interference sealing of the assembly gap between the air outlet pipe 21 and the ventilation component 7, and facilitate interference sealing of the assembly gap between the air outlet pipe 21 and the atomizer core 6.
[0129] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the seal 8 is mounted on the inner wall of the housing 1, that is, the outer wall of the seal 8 can directly contact and seal with the inner wall of the housing 1. In the present invention, the outer wall of the seal 8 is sealed with the inner wall of the housing 1, and the inner wall of the seal 8 is sealed with the atomizer core 6, the air outlet pipe 21 or the ventilation member 7, which not only avoids the technical problem of large space occupation caused by the need for a sealing structure, but also simplifies the sealing structure and improves assembly efficiency.
[0130] Optionally, the outer wall of the sealing member 8 is provided with a plurality of annular sealing ribs, which can perform interference sealing on the inner wall of the housing 1, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0131] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of the ventilation member 7 is provided with a ventilation groove 71, and the ventilation groove 71 cooperates with the inner wall surface of the sealing member 8 to form a ventilation channel. The sealing member 8 is provided with an elastic portion 81 corresponding to the position of the ventilation channel, and the elastic portion 81 can block or open the ventilation channel. In other words, a groove is provided on the outer surface of the ventilation member 7, and the groove can be configured as the ventilation groove 71. When the sealing member 8 is sleeved on the ventilation member 7, the inner wall of the sealing member 8 can be enclosed with the inner wall surface of the ventilation groove 71 to form a ventilation channel. In addition, the sealing member 8 is provided with an elastic portion 81, for example, an elastic sheet body. Since the elastic portion 81 is elastic and movable, the ventilation channel can be blocked or opened by the elastic portion 81.
[0132] Optionally, the ventilation groove 71 includes a first groove body 711 and a second groove body 712, the first groove body 711 is arranged on one side end surface of the ventilation member 7 close to the oil storage chamber 4, the second groove body 712 is arranged on the outer side surface of the ventilation member 7 close to the inner wall surface of the shell 1, and the second groove body 712 is connected to the first groove body 711. Optionally, the sealing member 8 is provided with an elastic part 81, and the elastic part 81 can cooperate with the first groove body 711 to achieve ventilation and sealing.
[0133] Optionally, a portion of the sealing member 8 is located between the outer wall of the ventilation member 7 and the inner wall of the outer shell 1 , so as to seal the gap between the ventilation member 7 and the outer shell 1 .
[0134] Optionally, the matching surface of the outer wall of the ventilation member 7 is designed to have a similar profile to the matching surface of the inner wall of the housing 1, so as to reduce the matching gap between the two after assembly. The matching surface here refers to the area where the outer side surface of the ventilation member 7 is directly or indirectly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. Optionally, the matching gap can be sealed by the sealing member 8 interference fit, which can improve the sealing tightness.
[0135] Optionally, ventilation grooves 71 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the ventilation element 7 along the thickness direction of the housing 1 , so as to improve the ventilation efficiency.
[0136] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, relative to the air outlet pipe 21 and the ventilation member 7, the airflow flowing in through the air outlet end 112 enters the atomizing chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizing core 6. For example, the air outlet pipe 21 and the ventilation member 7 are arranged in the transverse direction, and the airflow flowing in from the air inlet 31 first flows roughly in the transverse direction to the side close to the atomizing core 6, and then flows into the atomizing chamber 5, which is conducive to the full mixing between the air and the e-liquid atomized by the atomizing core 6, and then flows from the atomizing chamber 5 to the air outlet pipe 21.
[0137] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the housing 2 is provided with a convex rib 23, and the base 3 is provided with a conductive member 9. In the first direction, the convex rib 23 and the conductive member 9 clamp and fix the atomizer core 6 from both sides of the atomizer core 6. In other words, Figure 1 As shown, in the first direction, one side of the atomizer core 6 can be limited by the convex rib 23, and the other side of the atomizer core 6 can be limited by the conductive member 9, and the atomizer core 6 is clamped and fixed by the convex rib 23 and the conductive member 9. For example, the first direction is a vertical direction, the convex rib 23 can be located above the atomizer core 6, and the conductive member 9 can be located below the atomizer core 6. At this time, the atomizer core 6 can be clamped up and down by the conductive member 9 and the convex rib 23. In this embodiment, by fixing the atomizer core 6 on both sides of the first direction, it is not only convenient to quickly position the atomizer core 6 during assembly, but also improves the fixing efficiency, and can also ensure the limiting effect of the atomizer core 6.
[0138] During installation, the convex rib 23 can also accurately position the atomizer core 6 in the first direction. For example, when the atomizer core 6 and the ventilation element 7 are assembled into the inner cavity of the housing 1 as a small unit, the convex rib 23 can accurately position the small unit in the length direction of the housing 1.
[0139] In addition, in this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the housing 1 is provided with a convex rib 23, which has the advantage of being easy to process. The atomizer core 6 is limited by the convex rib 23, and no other structure is required for limiting. The convex rib 23 not only strengthens the housing 1, but also limits the atomizer core 6, saving the space of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The atomizer core 6 is limited by the conductive member 9, so that the conductive member 9 has multiple functions at the same time, which can not only realize the power supply to the atomizer core 6, but also realize the limit of the atomizer core 6, and also save the space of the inner cavity of the housing 1.
[0140] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Fig.13 As shown, the shunt plate 10 is provided with a mounting hole 102, and the positive electrode conductive part or the negative electrode conductive part passes through the mounting hole 102. That is to say, the shunt plate 10 can be provided with a through mounting hole 102 along its thickness direction. For example, the upper end of the first conductive nail 91 can pass through the mounting hole 102 and abut against the atomizer core 6. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the conductive member 9 can limit the shunt plate 10, and the setting of the shunt plate 10 is not likely to affect the connection between the conductive member 9 and the atomizer core 6.
[0141] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the splitter plate 10 is located between the spring sheet 13 and the end of the side wall of the air inlet pipe 32. For example, the spring sheet 13 may be located above at least a portion of the splitter plate 10, and the air inlet pipe 32 may be located below the portion of the splitter plate 10. In this embodiment, by defining the positional relationship among the splitter plate 10, the spring sheet 13 and the air inlet pipe 32, it is helpful to limit the splitter plate 10 through the spring sheet 13 and the air inlet pipe 32.
[0142] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, at least a portion of the splitter plate 10 is sandwiched between the spring sheet 13 and the end of the side wall of the intake pipe 32. For example, the right end of the splitter plate 10 is sandwiched between the spring sheet 13 and the upper end surface of the intake pipe 32, which can quickly, simply and effectively limit and fix the splitter plate 10.
[0143] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig.13As shown, the diverter plate 10 is provided with a positioning hole 103, the base 3 also includes a positioning portion 33, the base 3 is provided with an air inlet 31, the positioning portion 33 is arranged on the side of the base 3 close to the atomization chamber 5, and extends into the positioning hole 103 to limit the diverter plate 10. For example, the diverter plate 10 is provided with a positioning hole 103 on one side of the inner wall surface close to the housing 1, and the upper end of the protruding positioning portion 33 on the base 3 can extend into the positioning hole 103, so that the diverter plate 10 can be limited. In this embodiment, by cooperating with the positioning hole 103 on the diverter plate 10 and the positioning portion 33 of the base 3, the limiting effect and convenience of the limiting operation of the diverter plate 10 can be improved.
[0144] Optionally, the spring sheet 13 is also provided with a hole. During assembly, the splitter plate 10 is first assembled through the positioning hole 103 and the positioning portion 33, and then the conductive spring sheet 13 is assembled. Then, the hole of the spring sheet 13 can be matched with the positioning column 34 on the base 3 and fixed by hot melt. The spring sheet 13 can also be quickly fixed by riveting or the like. When the splitter plate 10 is sandwiched between the spring sheet 13 and the base 3, a limiting hole 131 is also provided on the splitter plate 10, and the positioning column 34 can pass through the limiting hole 131 and the hole in sequence.
[0145] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Fig.18 As shown, the spring piece 13 includes a first segment 132 and a second segment 133, the first segment 132 can be fixed on the base 3, the first end of the second segment 133 is connected to the first segment 132, and the second end of the second segment 133 is a free segment, and is bent toward the position of the atomizer core 6 to abut against the atomizer core 6. Optionally, a hole is provided on the first segment 132 to pass through the positioning column 34 on the base 3. Optionally, a card slot is provided on the first segment 132 to cooperate with the conductive part with a shorter length. For example, during assembly, the hole on the first segment 132 is fixed by the positioning column 34 of the base 3. After the first segment 132 and the base 3 are assembled, the second segment 133 can abut against the atomizer core 6 and conduct with the heating element 62 of the atomizer core 6. At this time, the conductive part with a shorter length can be fitted and conducted with the card slot of the first segment 132 by interference. It can be seen that the spring piece 13 including the first segment 132 and the second segment 133 is conducive to connecting the conductive part at the position where the heating element 62 is located away from the atomizer core 6, so that the atomizer core 6 and the conductive part are conveniently designed at different positions within the limited space of the atomizer chamber 5.
[0146] Optionally, a slot is provided on the spring sheet 13, which can be fitted and connected with the shorter conductive part by interference fit, facilitating assembly and ensuring stable connection. After being assembled with the shorter conductive part, the spring sheet 13 can be connected with the negative abutment sheet of the heating element 62 by interference fit.
[0147] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the atomizing device 100 further includes liquid absorbent cotton 12, at least a portion of which is installed in the atomizing chamber 5. That is, the liquid absorbent cotton 12 can be installed in the atomizing chamber 5 to absorb droplets in the case of condensation, leakage, etc., to prevent further leakage to the outside through the base 3. The liquid absorbent cotton 12 can store the condensate generated by the electronic cigarette, and can effectively prevent the condensate from flowing out from the air inlet 31 of the base 3.
[0148] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the first direction, a part of the liquid absorbent cotton 12 corresponds to the atomizing core 6, and the liquid absorbent cotton 12 of this part can be defined as the first liquid absorbent cotton 121; another part of the liquid absorbent cotton 12 corresponds to the ventilation member 7, and the liquid absorbent cotton 12 of this part can be defined as the second liquid absorbent cotton 122. That is to say, the liquid absorbent cotton 12 can be divided into two parts, one part of which corresponds to the atomizing core 6, for example, between the diverter plate 10 and the base 3, and vertically opposite to the position of the atomizing core 6; the other part of the liquid absorbent cotton 12 can be installed between the base 3 and the ventilation member 7, which can also play a role in preventing leakage, and the liquid absorbent cotton 12 of this part can be limited by the diverter plate 10 and the shrapnel 13. In this embodiment, by adopting multiple positions to set the liquid absorbent cotton 12, the leakage prevention effect of multiple positions can be achieved. Optionally, the liquid absorbent cotton 12 can be interference fitted in the base 3 to prevent the position of the liquid absorbent cotton 12 from moving.
[0149] Optionally, a baffle connected to the air inlet pipe 32 is also provided in the base 3, and the space of the base 3 can be further divided by the baffle. One part of the space is the air inlet channel 11, and the other part of the space corresponds to the ventilation part 7 and can be used to place a part of the absorbent cotton 12.
[0150] Optionally, an assembly groove is provided on the outer side of the base 3, and a sealing ring can be installed in the groove to improve the sealing effect between the outer side of the base 3 and the inner wall of the shell 1, thereby effectively preventing the smoke oil from leaking from the assembly gap between the base 3 and the shell 1.
[0151] In summary, the atomizer device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 1 and an atomizer core 6. Along the second direction, the atomizer core 6 is arranged between the air outlet pipe 21 and the shell 1, and the air inlet channel 11 is controlled to be connected to the atomizer chamber 5 from the side close to the atomizer core 6, which is not only conducive to reducing the thickness of the shell 1, but also conducive to sufficient mixing of air and e-liquid in the atomizer chamber 5.
[0152] The present invention also provides an electronic cigarette, which includes the atomization device 100 of any of the above embodiments. Since the atomization device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention has the above advantages, the electronic cigarette of the embodiment of the present invention also has the same advantages, optimizing the user experience, which will not be elaborated here.
[0153] The internal working process of the electronic cigarette is described in detail below in conjunction with an electronic cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0154] When a user inhales an electronic cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor in the electronic cigarette can be triggered, and a signal is sent to drive the heating element 62 of the atomizing core 6 to start heating. The liquid matrix is heated and atomized in the atomizing surface 612. At the same time, the air passes through the air inlet 31 of the base 3 and turns to the side where the atomizing core 6 is located through the air inlet channel 11, and flows from the side of the atomizing core 6 to the atomizing chamber 5 through the diverter plate 10, and then flows from the atomizing chamber 5 to the air outlet pipe 21. The atomized smoke oil can be fully mixed with the air, and the mixed aerosol smoke finally enters the user's mouth through the air outlet pipe 21 of the shell 1. The airflow can be roughly along Figure 1 The dotted line in the figure shows the gas path flow. As smoke is generated, the smoke oil is gradually adsorbed to the side of the atomizing surface 612, and the air pressure on the side of the oil storage chamber 4 drops, forming a negative pressure. The air pressure on one side of the atomizing chamber 5 is higher, and the air in the atomizing chamber 5 will successively pass through the ventilation groove 71 provided on the outer wall and the top surface of the ventilation component 7, and push open the elastic sheet of the fitting seal 8, and flow to the oil storage chamber 4 to achieve air pressure balance. After the air pressure of the atomizing chamber 5 and the oil storage chamber 4 is balanced, the fitting surface of the elastic sheet of the seal 8 can be close to the top surface of the ventilation component 7, thereby sealing the ventilation channel and preventing the smoke oil in the oil storage chamber 4 from leaking from the ventilation channel of the ventilation component 7. Furthermore, sufficient smoke oil can be adsorbed on the atomizing core 6, thereby maintaining the smoke generation effect.
