Benefits of technology

The patent is about a device and method for controlling the size and flow of particles in an aerosol to improve their flavor, throat-effect, and delivery to the user. The technical effects of the patent are that it allows for more efficient and precise control over the aerosol, resulting in better user experience.

Problems solved by technology

The pin-hole opening tends to be an ineffective and inefficient delivery mechanism, since a significant portion of the aerosol delivered to the user is delivered at a rate and a particle size that results in a significant portion of the aerosol being directed and applied to the user's throat, thereby resulting in waste and an increased need to deliver larger amounts of aerosol to the user.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1A shows an isometric view of nozzle device 100, which is an example of a nozzle device that is constructed according to the principles of the disclosure. Nozzle device 100 includes first substantially planar surface 110, second substantially planar surface 130, and through-hole 140. Nozzle device 100 may include a plurality of ribs 120. Nozzle device 100 comprises a generally cylindrical body that is configured to slide, or otherwise fit, into a cylindrical housing of an electronic smoking device, such as an electronic cigarette (eCig). Nozzle device 100 comprises a mouthpiece through which aerosol from the eCig is configured to be drawn en route to a user.

[0023]FIGS. 1B and 1C show cross-sectional and side views, respectively, of nozzle device 100. As shown in FIG. 1C, nozzle device 100 comprises inlet disk 150 configured to be disposed inside an eCig housing, and exit disk 160 configured to be disposed outside of an eCig housing. Specifically, inlet disk 150 is configu...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for controlling particle size, flow direction, and flow rate of an aerosol in an electronic smoking device. A flow discharge device 100 for an electronic smoking device 800 comprises a body and a through-hole 140. The body is configured for assembly with a housing 810 of an electronic smoking device 800, and has a first surface 110 and a second surface 130. The through-hole 140 extends from the first surface 110 to the second surface 130, and is shaped to adjust characteristics of flow between the first surface 110 and the second surface 130. In one particular embodiment, the through-hole 140 is shaped as a nozzle having a throat region 190 and a diverging region 180 downstream of the throat region 190.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]a. Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for controlling particle size in aerosol and for controlling the flow direction and flow rate of aerosol.[0003]b. Background Art[0004]An aerosol is defined as a suspension of solid or liquid particles in a gas. In the case of electronic cigarettes, nebulizers, personal vaporizers, and the like, aerosol includes both the particles and the suspending gas, such as air. Particle size may be described either in terms of the diameter of the particle or the particle size distribution for a given sample.[0005]Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes (eCigs), are electronic inhalers that vaporize or atomize a liquid solution into an aerosol mist that may then be delivered to a user. A typical eCig has a mouthpiece, a battery, a liquid storing area, an atomizer, and a liquid solution. The mouthpiece in conventional eCigs tends to be a cylindrical structure with a pin-hole opening i...
