Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, specifically to a liquid storage container and an atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] Atomizing devices atomize a matrix to produce an aerosol. Typically, these devices are equipped with a liquid storage container to hold the matrix. To prevent the atomizing core from burning out during manufacturing, the liquid storage container is stored and transported separately from the atomizing device, ensuring that the liquid reservoir inside the atomizing device does not contain the matrix. When the user uses the product, the liquid storage container is connected to the atomizing device, and the matrix is ​​transferred to the liquid storage container via a liquid guide through capillary action. The atomizing core then atomizes the matrix stored in the liquid storage container.

[0003] However, the liquid transfer rate of the liquid guide component for transferring the atomizing matrix is ​​limited, making it difficult to quickly wet the liquid storage component, which can easily cause dry burning and scorching of the core, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide a liquid storage container and an atomizing device that can provide a large amount of atomizing matrix to the liquid storage component at one time, so that the liquid storage component can quickly reach a state of saturation and avoid the problem of dry burning and scorching.

[0005] This application provides a liquid storage container, comprising:

[0006] The container body has a fluid outlet and an active area on the inner wall of the container body.

[0007] A volumetric compression assembly includes a compression member movably disposed in the active area and sealingly fitted with the inner wall of the active area; the compression member and the inner wall of the container body form a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity being used to receive an atomizing matrix, and the receiving cavity being in fluid communication with the fluid outlet;

[0008] The compressor is configured to move in response to an external force acting within the active area to compress the volume of the receiving cavity, so that the atomized matrix flows out from the fluid outlet.

[0009] In some embodiments, the active region has an initial position and an end position spaced apart from each other, the initial position being farther from the fluid outlet relative to the end position, and the compressor moving within the active region from the initial position to the end position to compress the volume of the receiving cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, the active area is provided with a first limiting portion located at the termination position, the first limiting portion being configured to contact the compression member moving to the termination position to restrict the compression member from moving from the termination position to outside the active area.

[0011] In some embodiments, the active area is further provided with a second limiting portion located at the initial position, the second limiting portion being configured to contact the compression member that has moved to the initial position, so as to restrict the compression member from moving from the initial position to outside the active area.

[0012] In some embodiments, the volume compression assembly further includes a seal disposed between the periphery of the compression member and the active area, and capable of moving synchronously with the compression member to seal the gap between the compression member and the active area.

[0013] In some embodiments, the compression member has a receiving groove on its periphery, and the sealing member is disposed in the receiving groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the volume compression assembly further includes an operating part, the container body further having an opening, the operating part being connected to the side of the compression member facing the opening, and the operating part being configured to apply a force to the compression member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the liquid storage container further includes a cap that is detachably or movably attached to the opening for opening or closing the opening.

[0016] In some embodiments, the direction of movement of the compressor in the active area to compress the volume of the receiving cavity is coaxial or non-coaxial with the fluid outlet.

[0017] This application provides an atomizing device, including any of the above-described liquid storage containers, and a main unit, the main unit having a liquid inlet, the liquid storage container being detachably connected to the main unit, and the fluid outlet being connected to the liquid inlet.

[0018] According to the above embodiments, when an external force acts on the compression member to move within the active area and compress the volume of the receiving cavity, the atomizing matrix stored in the receiving cavity can be quickly discharged through the fluid outlet by the compression member to replenish the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage component of the atomizing device. Compared with the method of using a liquid guiding member to guide the liquid through capillary action in related technologies, a large amount of atomizing matrix can be provided to the liquid storage component at one time, and the liquid storage component can quickly achieve the effect of wetting and saturation, avoiding the problem of dry burning and scorching, and facilitating user operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0032] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments, and the operational steps involved in each embodiment can also be rearranged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for clearly describing a particular embodiment and do not imply that they represent the necessary components and / or order.

[0033] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0034] The atomizing device can be used to atomize water to humidify the air, or to atomize liquid or paste aromatherapy to purify or improve air quality. It can also be used to heat plant leaves, tobacco paste, tobacco oil, etc. to produce aerosols for users to consume. This application does not limit the objects atomized by the atomizing device; the specific choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0035] In the following embodiments, the atomization device atomizes a liquid and atomizable matrix to generate an aerosol as an example. For the sake of simplification, the liquid and atomizable matrix is ​​referred to as the atomizing matrix. For example, the atomizing matrix can be e-liquid in liquid form.

[0036] In related technologies, some atomizing devices are equipped with a liquid inlet, which allows the atomizing matrix to be added to the atomizing device by drawing liquid from the storage container through a dropper. This method can achieve the effect of rapid liquid replenishment, but the operation process is cumbersome and inconvenient for users.

[0037] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a liquid storage container and an atomizing device. A compressor is movably connected within the container body. The compressor moves within the movable area of ​​the container body in response to external force, compressing the volume of the receiving cavity. As the volume of the receiving cavity decreases, the atomizing matrix stored in the receiving cavity flows out in large quantities and rapidly from the fluid outlet due to the reduced volume, replenishing the liquid storage component in the atomizing device with the atomizing matrix. Compared to the method of using a liquid guiding component to guide the liquid through capillary action in related technologies, this method can provide a large amount of atomizing matrix to the liquid storage component at one time, allowing the liquid storage component to quickly wet the atomizing matrix and avoiding the problem of dry burning and scorching.

[0038] See Figures 1-3 As shown, the atomizing device 100 provided in this application includes a main unit 10 and a liquid storage container 20. The main unit 10 has a liquid inlet 11, and the liquid storage container 20 is detachably connected to the main unit 10. The fluid outlet 210 is connected to the liquid inlet 11, so that the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage container 20 can enter the interior of the main unit 10 through the liquid inlet 11 via the fluid outlet 210.

[0039] The main unit 10 has an atomizing core 12 inside, and a liquid storage component 13 is provided between the atomizing core 12 and the liquid inlet 11. The liquid storage component 13 is usually an oil-absorbing cotton, and in some embodiments, the liquid storage component 13 can also be a porous ceramic. The atomizing matrix entering through the liquid inlet 11 is stored by the liquid storage component 13 by adsorption, and the stored atomizing matrix is ​​guided to the atomizing core 12 by capillary action through the liquid storage component 13. The atomizing core 12 can then heat and atomize the atomizing matrix to produce an aerosol.

[0040] The main unit 10 is also equipped with a nozzle 14, which has a nozzle channel 141. The atomizing core 12 has an atomizing channel 121, which is connected to the nozzle channel 141. In actual use, the user draws through the nozzle 14, and the generated aerosol is output through the atomizing channel 121 and the nozzle channel 141.

[0041] When the atomizing device 100 is shipped from the factory, a sealing component 142 is installed at the nozzle channel 141 to prevent foreign objects from falling into the atomizing channel 121 through the nozzle channel 141.

[0042] The main unit 10 also includes a power supply unit 15, which is electrically connected to the atomizing core 12 and provides the necessary electrical energy for heating. In some embodiments, the power supply unit 15 and the atomizing core 12 are fixedly electrically connected to form a stable and reliable connection for user convenience. In some embodiments, the power supply unit 15 and the atomizing core 12 are detachably electrically connected, allowing users to replace either the atomizing core 12 or the power supply unit 15 as needed, resulting in greater energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. A notch 16 is also provided on the main unit 10, and the liquid storage container 20 is detachably installed at the notch 16, ensuring a flush surface with the outer surface of the main unit 10 and enhancing the product's aesthetics. The notch 16 can be located on the upper or lower side of the main unit 10. In some embodiments, the liquid storage container 20 is arranged around the bottom or top of the main unit 10. In some embodiments, the atomizing device 100 can be equipped with two or more liquid storage containers 20.

[0044] See Figure 1 As shown, the bottom surface of the atomizing device 100 formed by the main unit 10 and the liquid storage container 20 is an arc-shaped surface 101 (as shown). Figure 1 The negative direction of the Z-axis), while the front and back of the atomizing device 100 are flat (e.g., the negative direction of the Z-axis), and the front and back of the atomizing device 100 are flat (e.g., the negative direction of the Z-axis). Figure 1 (Positive and negative directions along the Y-axis), after the liquid storage container 20 is installed on the main unit 10, the fluid outlet 210 of the liquid storage container 20 is located at the top of the atomizing device 100 (e.g., in the positive and negative directions of the Y-axis). Figure 1 (in the positive direction of the Z-axis), when the atomizing device 100 is placed on a plane, ensure that the front or back of the atomizing device 100 is in contact with the plane. In this way, the atomizing device 100 is formed in an approximately inverted state, and the atomizing matrix can be continuously replenished from the liquid inlet 11 to the liquid storage device 13 through the fluid outlet 210 to achieve the effect of continuous liquid supply.

[0045] Of course, it should be understood that the above-mentioned flat surface state is the state in which the atomizing device 100 is not turned on. Liquid can be continuously supplied to the liquid storage component 13 before use so that the liquid storage component 13 can achieve the effect of wetting and avoid the problem of dry burning of the atomizing core 12.

[0046] See Figures 2-7 As shown, the liquid storage container 20 provided in this embodiment includes a container body 21 and a volume compression component 22.

[0047] The container body 21 is provided with a fluid outlet 210, and an active area 212 is provided in the inner wall of the container body 21. The liquid storage container 21 can be made of materials such as stainless steel, ceramic, polyvinyl terephthalate (PET), and glass. In order to facilitate observation of the remaining amount of atomized liquid 100 in the bottle 10, polyvinyl terephthalate or glass can be selected as the materials.

[0048] See Figures 2-4 As shown, a sealing assembly 24 is also provided at the fluid outlet 210. The sealing assembly 24 includes an elastic membrane 241 with a slit 242, which divides the elastic membrane 241 into at least two elastic valves 243. The slit 242 can be opened when the elastic membrane 241 is compressed. Figure 3 As shown, the inlet 11 is also provided with a spreading part 111. When the liquid storage container 20 is installed at the inlet 11, the spreading part 111 applies a force to the elastic membrane 241, causing the gap 242 to be opened, thereby connecting the receiving cavity 211 and the inlet 11. After the liquid storage container 20 is removed from the inlet 11, the force of the elastic membrane 241 is eliminated and it returns to its shape. The gap 242 is closed by the elastic valve 243, which can form a certain degree of sealing for the fluid outlet 210 and prevent leakage.

[0049] The volume compression assembly 22 includes a compression member 221, which is movably disposed in the movable region 212 and sealably engages with the inner wall of the movable region 212. Specifically, the periphery of the compression member 221 seals with the inner wall of the movable region 212, achieving a sealing effect while also allowing the compression member 221 to move within the movable region 212. For example, if the orientation of the movable region 212 is coaxial with the axis of the container body 21, the compression member 221 can slide along the axis of the container body 21 to compress the volume of the receiving cavity 211.

[0050] In this embodiment, the compression member 221 is described as reciprocating within the movable area 212. It should be understood that the periphery of the compression member 221 should maintain a sealed fit with the inner wall of the container body 21 located in the movable area 212. For example, the periphery of the compression member 221 and the inner wall of the container body 21 located in the movable area 212 may have an interference fit. The compression member 221 may be made of materials such as silicone or rubber. Furthermore, the radial dimension of the compression member 221 is larger than the radial dimension of the movable area 212. The inner wall of the movable area 212 creates a squeezing effect on the compression member 221, allowing the periphery of the compression member 221 to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the movable area 212, thus achieving a sealing effect.

[0051] In some embodiments, the container body 21 is approximately cylindrical in shape, the movable region 212 is disposed on the cavity wall of the liquid storage chamber 211 around the axis of the container body 21, and the direction in which the compression member 221 moves in the movable region 212 is parallel to or coaxial with the axis of the container body 21. The fluid outlet 210 is disposed at one end of the container body 21 along its axis, that is, the fluid outlet 210 is opposite to the position where the movable region 212 is disposed.

[0052] The compression component 2 and the inner wall of the container body 21 form a receiving cavity 211, which is used to contain the atomized matrix. The receiving cavity 211 is in fluid communication with the fluid outlet 210.

[0053] The compressor 221 is configured to move within the active region 212 in response to an external force to compress the volume of the receiving cavity 211 so that the atomized matrix flows out from the fluid outlet 210.

[0054] During the process of an external force acting on the compressor 221 to move within the active area 212 and compress the volume of the receiving cavity 211, a very high instantaneous external force can be provided to the compressor 221. This force acts for a very short time (0.1s-0.3s), rapidly compressing the volume of the receiving cavity 211. As the volume of the receiving cavity 211 decreases rapidly, the atomized matrix stored in the receiving cavity 211 quickly flows out through the fluid outlet 210. Compared to the capillary action method using a liquid guide in related technologies, a large amount of atomized matrix can be discharged at once. This allows for the supply of a large amount of atomized matrix to the liquid storage container 13 while connected to the liquid inlet 11 of the atomizing device 100, enabling the liquid storage container 13 to be quickly wetted and saturated. Furthermore, compared to the liquid guide method, sufficient atomized matrix can be provided during initial use, preventing dry burning and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, compared to the method of replenishing liquid via a dropper, it is easier for the user to operate.

[0055] In related technologies, there are similar squeeze-feed liquid storage bottles made of soft materials such as silicone. These bottles achieve rapid liquid dispensing through instantaneous squeezing of the bottle body, but they are difficult to achieve quantitative liquid dispensing. This application aims to overcome this problem. (See [reference needed]). Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the active area 212 has an initial position A and an end position B that are spaced apart from each other. The compression member 221 slides from the initial position A to the end position B within the active area 212 to compress the volume of the receiving cavity 211.

[0056] It is understandable that when the fluid outlet 210 is located at one end of the axial direction of the container body 21, the initial position A is far from the fluid outlet 210 relative to the termination position B. The distance that the compressor 221 moves from the initial position A to the termination position B within the active area 212 is limited by the initial position A and the termination position B. Therefore, the volume of the compression chamber 211 of the compressor 21 is relatively fixed. Ideally, the reduction in the volume of the chamber 211 due to compression is directly proportional to the amount of atomized matrix discharged through the fluid outlet 210. This is equivalent to the same amount of atomized matrix discharged with each compression, thus achieving the effect of quantitative discharge, improving the accuracy of replenishing the liquid to the storage container 13, avoiding leakage due to excessive replenishment, and also avoiding the problem of dry burning and core scorching due to insufficient replenishment.

[0057] Of course, the amount of atomizing matrix replenished to the liquid storage device 13 needs to be determined based on the size of the accommodating cavity 211 in the cross-sectional direction of the container body 21 and the distance between the initial position A and the final position B.

[0058] In this embodiment, along the axis perpendicular to the container body 21, the peripheral sidewall of the compressor 221 is sealed to the inner wall of the container body 21 in the active area 212 to prevent leakage of the atomized matrix. To ensure that when the compressor 21 is subjected to external force and slides to the termination position B in the active area 212, in this embodiment, see... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first limiting part 213 is provided in the active area 212. The first limiting part 213 is located at the end position B of the active area 212. The first limiting part 213 is configured to contact the compression member 221 that moves to the end position B, so as to restrict the compression member 221 from moving from the end position B to the outside of the active area 212, thereby limiting the displacement of the compression member 221 during compression.

[0059] In this application, the fluid outlet 210 of the container body 21 is close to the bottom of the container body 21. The top of the container body 21 can be considered as the fluid outlet 210, and an opening is provided at the bottom of the container body 21. The opening and the fluid outlet 210 are located at opposite ends of the axial direction of the container body 21. The position of the opening can be considered as the initial position A of the active area 212, so as to facilitate the user to manually operate the compressor 221 to slide from the initial position A to the final position B within the active area 212.

[0060] Of course, in some embodiments, a through hole is provided at the bottom end of the container body 21, which is in a non-open state at the bottom, and an operating rod is provided. The operating rod is connected to the compression member 221 and passes through the through hole. The compression member 221 can be operated by the operating rod to slide from the initial position A to the termination position B within the active area 212. At this time, the inner cavity at the bottom end of the container body 21 limits the compression member 221 to the initial position A.

[0061] In this embodiment, the example is taken where the bottom end of the container body 21 has an opening-like structure, and the compression component 221 is manually operated to slide within the active area 212. See also... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the active area 212 is also provided with a second limiting part 214. The second limiting part 214 is located at the initial position A. The second limiting part 213 is configured to contact the compression member 221 that has moved to the initial position A, so as to restrict the compression member 221 from moving from the initial position A to the outside of the active area 212, thereby limiting the starting position of the compression member 221 and preventing the compression member 221 from slipping out of the active area 212.

[0062] In the above embodiments, both the first limiting part 213 and the second limiting part 214 are annular protrusions protruding from the inner wall of the receiving cavity 211, so as to achieve limiting through contact with the compression member 221. Of course, the first limiting part 213 and the second limiting part 214 may also be at least one block-shaped protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the receiving cavity 211. It should be understood that after the compression member 221 moves from the initial position A to the termination position B within the active area 212, the compression member 221 may also move back to the initial position A under the action of a reverse external force.

[0063] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to further improve the sealing performance of the compression member 221 and the inner cavity wall of the receiving cavity 211, the volume compression assembly 22 also includes a sealing member 222. The sealing member 222 is disposed between the periphery of the compression member 221 and the moving area 212, and can slide synchronously with the compression member 221, so that the sealing member 222 seals the gap between the periphery of the compression member 221 and the moving area 212.

[0064] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the circumference of the compression member 221 is provided with a receiving groove 2211. The receiving groove 2211 adopts a groove-shaped structure with an annular structure. The sealing member 222 adopts an annular sealing ring. The sealing member 222 is disposed in the receiving groove 2211, which can form a sealing structure for the circumference of the compression member 221 and the inner cavity wall of the receiving cavity 211 located in the active area 212.

[0065] See Figures 5-7 As shown, the volumetric compression assembly 22 also includes an operation unit 223, and the container body 21 has an opening 215. The operation unit 223 is connected to the side of the compression member 221 facing the opening 215, and the operation unit 223 is configured to provide an instantaneous external force to the compression member 221. Specifically, the operation unit 223 provides an instantaneous thrust to the compression member 221 to push the compression member 221 to slide from the initial position A to the final position B within the active area 212.

[0066] To enhance the aesthetics of the product, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the liquid storage container 20 also includes a cover 23, which is detachably or movably installed on the opening 215. The cover 23 is used to open or close the opening 215. The space between the initial position A and the opening 215 defines the movement space of the compression member 221 and the operating part 223 connected to the compression member 221. After the opening 215 is opened by removing the cover 23 or moving the cover 23 relative to the opening 215, the user can apply external force from the opening 215 to the operating part 223 to act on the compression member 221, so that the compression member 221 moves within the movement area 212.

[0067] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fluid outlet 210 is disposed on the container body 21 along the sliding direction of the compressor 221. It can be considered that the fluid outlet 210 is coaxial with the axis of the container body 21. Based on this, an annular protrusion 2212 is provided on the circumference of the compressor 221 on the side facing the fluid outlet 210 and / or the side away from the fluid outlet 210. The annular protrusion 2212 is sealed with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 211, which can increase the contact area with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 211 and improve the sealing performance.

[0068] In this embodiment, the annular protrusion 2212 is disposed on the periphery of the side of the compressor 221 facing the fluid outlet 210.

[0069] In this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the compressor 221 can slide along the movable region 212, and the length direction of the movable region 212 is parallel to the axis of the container body 21, so that the sliding direction of the compressor 221 is parallel to the axis of the container body 21. The fluid outlet 210 is arranged at one end of the container body 21 along the axis of the container body 21, so that the direction of movement of the compressor 221 in the movable region 212 is coaxial with the fluid outlet 210.

[0070] Of course, the direction of the sliding movement of the compression component 221 within the active area 212 may also be different from the position of the fluid outlet 210 on the container body 21. See Figure 8 As shown, the fluid outlet 210 is also coaxially arranged with the axis of the container body 21, and the active area 212 is arranged in the radial direction of the container body 21, so that the compression member 221 slides along the active area 212 in the radial direction of the container body 21 to compress the volume of the receiving cavity 211.

[0071] To address this, at least one limiting member 25 is protruding from the inner wall of the receiving cavity 211. This limiting member 25 is arranged radially along the container body 21 and, together with the inner bottom wall and side wall of the receiving cavity 211, forms an active area 212 arranged radially along the container body 21. Alternatively, in some embodiments, two limiting members 25 may be provided, with the two limiting members 25 and the side wall of the receiving cavity 211 forming the active area 212 arranged radially along the container body 21. In other embodiments, the limiting member 25 has a hollow channel structure inside, and the inner wall of the hollow channel defines the active area 212.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the opening 215 is arranged in the radial direction of the container body 21, and the cover 23 is detachably or movably connected to the opening 215 arranged in the radial direction. Similarly, a first limiting part 213 and a second limiting part 214 can be provided on the limiting member 25 to limit the displacement of the sliding movement of the compression member 221.

[0073] In summary, in the liquid storage container and atomizing device provided by this utility model, when an external force acts on the compression component to move it within the active area, thereby compressing the volume of the receiving cavity, the volume of the receiving cavity decreases. Due to the decrease in volume, a large amount of atomizing matrix stored in the receiving cavity flows out rapidly from the fluid outlet to replenish the liquid storage component in the atomizing device. Compared with the method of using a liquid guiding component to guide the liquid through capillary action in related technologies, a large amount of atomizing matrix can be provided to the liquid storage component at one time, allowing the liquid storage component to quickly reach a wetted and saturated state, avoiding the problem of dry burning and scorching, and facilitating user operation.

[0074] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
