Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to an atomization device, and more particularly to an electronic device for providing an inhalable aerosol. Background Art

[0002] An electronic cigarette is an electronic product that heats a volatile solution into atomizers and produces aerosol for users to inhale. In recent years, major manufacturers have begun to produce a variety of electronic cigarette products. Generally speaking, an electronic cigarette product includes a shell, an oil storage chamber, an atomizer chamber, a heating component, an air inlet, an air flow channel, an air outlet, a power supply device, a sensing device, and a control device. The oil storage chamber is used to store volatile solutions, and the heating component is used to heat the volatile solution into atomizers and produce aerosols. The air inlet and the atomizer chamber are connected to each other to provide air to the heating component when the user inhales. The aerosol generated by the heating component is first generated in the atomizer chamber and then inhaled by the user through the air flow channel and the air outlet. The power supply device provides the power required by the heating component, and the control device controls the heating time of the heating component according to the user's inhalation action detected by the sensing device. The shell covers each of the above components.

[0003] Existing electronic cigarette products have different defects, which may be caused by poor design of the relative positions between different components. For example, common electronic cigarette products design the heating component, air flow channel and air outlet to be aligned with each other in the vertical direction. Because the air flow channel has a certain length, the aerosol cools when passing through the air flow channel, forming condensed liquid attached to the wall of the air flow channel. Under this design, when the residual condensed liquid reaches a certain volume, the condensed liquid can easily slide down the air flow channel and contact the heating component. The sliding condensed liquid may contaminate the heating component, thereby changing the taste of the aerosol. In addition, the condensed liquid may splash when it slides directly on the high-temperature heating component, and the splashed liquid may even burn the user.

[0004] In addition, existing electronic cigarette products do not take into account the pressure balance of the oil storage chamber. In existing electronic cigarette products, the oil storage chamber is generally designed to be completely sealed to prevent the volatile solution from overflowing. As users continue to use electronic cigarette products, the volatile solution in the oil storage chamber is continuously consumed and reduced, causing the pressure in the oil storage chamber to decrease and form a negative pressure. The negative pressure makes it difficult for the volatile solution in the oil storage chamber to flow evenly to the heating component, so that the heating component does not evenly absorb the volatile solution. At this time, when the temperature of the heating component rises, there is a high probability that it will burn empty and produce a burnt smell, resulting in a bad user experience.

[0005] Therefore, an atomizing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] An atomizing device is provided. The atomizing device includes a housing, a heating element, a heating element top cover, a heating element base, and a first sealing member disposed on the heating element top cover. The housing and the first sealing member define a liquid storage compartment, and the heating element and the heating element base define an atomizing chamber. The heating element top cover includes a first opening on a first surface, a second opening on a second surface, and a first channel passing through the first opening and the second opening. The first sealing member covers the first opening, and the second opening is in fluid communication with the atomizing chamber.

[0007] An atomizing device is provided. The atomizing device includes a housing, a heating element top cover and a heating element base. The atomizing device further includes a first sealing member disposed on the heating element top cover and a heating element disposed between the heating element top cover and the heating element base. The heating element and the heating element base define an atomizing chamber. The heating element top cover includes a first opening and a second opening on a first surface, wherein the first sealing member covers the first opening and exposes the second opening.

[0020] Figure 2A and 2B An exploded view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0021] The cigarette cartridge 10A includes a housing 1, an upper cover sealing component 2, a heating component upper cover 3, a heating component sealing component 4, a heating component 5 and a heating component base 6. The surface of the heating component 5 may have a heating circuit (not shown in the figure). The interior of the heating component 5 may have a heating circuit (not shown in the figure).

[0022] like Figure 2A As shown, the upper cover sealing component 2 may have a plurality of openings. The upper cover 3 of the heating component may have a plurality of openings. In some embodiments, the number of openings of the upper cover sealing component 2 may be the same as the number of openings of the upper cover 3 of the heating component. In some embodiments, the number of openings of the upper cover sealing component 2 may be different from the number of openings of the upper cover 3 of the heating component. In some embodiments, the number of openings of the upper cover sealing component 2 is less than the number of openings of the upper cover 3 of the heating component. In some embodiments, the number of openings of the upper cover sealing component 2 is more than the number of openings of the upper cover 3 of the heating component.

[0023] In some embodiments, the upper cover sealing component 2 may be elastic. In some embodiments, the upper cover sealing component 2 may be flexible. In some embodiments, the upper cover sealing component 2 may include silicone. In some embodiments, the upper cover sealing component 2 may be made of silicone.

[0024] The heating element upper cover 3 may have snap parts 3d1 and 3d2. The heating element base 6 may have snap parts 6d1 and 6d2. The heating element upper cover 3 and the heating element base 6 may be coupled by the snap parts 3d1, 3d2, 6d1 and 6d2. The heating element upper cover 3 and the heating element base 6 may be mechanically combined by the snap parts 3d1, 3d2, 6d1 and 6d2. The heating element upper cover 3 and the heating element base 6 may be removably combined by the snap parts 3d1, 3d2, 6d1 and 6d2.

[0025] When some or all components of the cartridge 10A are combined with each other, the upper cover sealing component 2 may cover a portion of the upper cover 3 of the heating component. The upper cover sealing component 2 may surround a portion of the upper cover 3 of the heating component. The upper cover sealing component 2 may expose a portion of the upper cover 3 of the heating component.

[0026] When some or all components of the cartridge 10A are combined with each other, the heating component sealing component 4 may cover a portion of the heating component 5. The heating component sealing component 4 may surround a portion of the heating component 5. The heating component sealing component 4 may expose a portion of the heating component 5.

[0027] In some embodiments, the heating component sealing component 4 may be elastic. In some embodiments, the heating component sealing component 4 may be flexible. In some embodiments, the heating component sealing component 4 may include silicone. In some embodiments, the heating component sealing component 4 may be made of silicone.

[0028] like Figure 2A As shown, the heating element sealing component 4 has an opening 4h, and the heating element 5 has a groove 5c. When the heating element sealing component 4 and the heating element 5 are combined with each other, the opening 4h can expose at least a portion of the groove 5c.

[0029] like Figure 2B As shown, the upper cover sealing component 2 may have an extension portion 2t. When the upper cover sealing component 2 and the heating component upper cover 3 are combined with each other, the extension portion 2t extends into a channel in the heating component upper cover 3.

[0030] Figure 3A and 3B A three-dimensional view of a heating element cover according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0031] The heating element upper cover 3 has openings 3h1, 3h3, 3h4 and 3h5 on the surface 3s1. The opening 3h1 extends into the heating element upper cover 3 and forms a channel (e.g. Figure 4A The opening 3h3 extends into the upper cover 3 of the heating component and forms a channel (eg Figure 4A The opening 3h4 extends into the upper cover 3 of the heating component and forms a channel (eg Figure 4A The opening 3h5 extends into the upper cover 3 of the heating component and forms a channel (eg Figure 4A In some embodiments, the heating component cover 3 may have more channels. In some embodiments, the heating component cover 3 may have fewer channels.

[0032] The heating element upper cover 3 has columnar parts 3w1 and 3w2. The columnar parts 3w1 and 3w2 define a groove 3r1. The groove 3r1 is fluidly connected to the opening 3h5. The groove 3r1 is connected to the channel 3c4 (see Figure 4A ) is fluidly connected. The groove 3r1 is fluidly connected to the atomizing chamber 6C (see Figure 4A ).

[0033] like Figure 3B As shown, the heating component upper cover 3 has an opening 3h2 on the surface 3s2. The opening 3h1 passes through the heating component upper cover 3 from the surface 3s1 to the opening 3h2 on the surface 3s2 to form a channel 3c1. In some embodiments, the opening 3h1 and the opening 3h2 may be aligned with each other in the vertical direction. In some embodiments, the opening 3h1 and the opening 3h2 may not be aligned with each other in the vertical direction.

[0034] Figure 4A and 4B A cross-sectional view illustrating a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0035] like Figure 4A As shown, the housing 1 has an opening 1h and a tube 1t extending from the opening 1h to the upper cover sealing assembly 2. The tube 1t, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 and the housing 1 define a liquid storage chamber 20. Volatile materials can be stored in the liquid storage chamber 20.

[0036] The tube 1t may have a portion extending into the channel 3c4. The tube 1t may have a non-uniform outer diameter. Figure 4A As shown, the portion of the tube 1t extending into the channel 3c4 has a smaller outer diameter. The tube 1t may have a non-uniform inner diameter. Figure 4A As shown, a portion of the tube 1t extending into the passage 3c4 has a smaller inner diameter.

[0037] The tube 1t is coupled to the channel 3c4 via the opening 3h5 of the heating element upper cover 3. The tube 1t is in fluid communication with the channel 3c4 via the opening 3h5 of the heating element upper cover 3. The channel 3c4 is isolated from the liquid storage tank 20 by the tube 1t.

[0038] like Figure 4A As shown, the upper cover sealing component 2 can expose the openings 3h3, 3h4 and 3h5 of the heating component upper cover 3. The upper cover sealing component 2 does not cover the openings 3h3, 3h4 and 3h5 of the heating component upper cover 3. The upper cover sealing component 2 does not block the channels 3c2, 3c3 and 3c4.

[0039] The channel 3c2 is in fluid communication with the groove 5c of the heating component 5. The channel 3c3 is in fluid communication with the groove 5c of the heating component 5. The smoke oil stored in the liquid storage tank 20 can flow into the groove 5c via the channel 3c2. The smoke oil stored in the liquid storage tank 20 can flow into the groove 5c via the channel 3c3. The groove 5c of the heating component 5 is in fluid communication with the liquid storage tank 20. The smoke oil can fully contact with the heating component 5 in the groove 5c. The heating circuit on the surface or inside of the heating component 5 can heat the smoke oil and generate aerosol.

[0040] The heating element base 6 and the heating element 5 define an atomizing chamber 6C. The heating element 5 is partially exposed in the atomizing chamber 6C. The aerosol generated by the heating element 5 is formed in the atomizing chamber 6C. The aerosol generated by the heating element 5 is inhaled by the user via the tube 1t and the opening 1h. The tube 1t is fluidly connected to the atomizing chamber 6C. The groove 3r1 is fluidly connected to the atomizing chamber 6C.

[0041] The upper cover sealing component 2 can cover the opening 3h1 of the upper cover 3 of the heating component and can block the channel 3c1.

[0042] like Figure 4A As shown, the heating component upper cover 3 has a blocking member 3p. The blocking member 3p isolates the tube 1t from the groove 5c of the heating component 5. The blocking member 3p isolates the channel 3c4 from the groove 5c of the heating component 5.

[0043] During the use of the atomizer, when the condensed liquid remaining in the tube 1t reaches a certain volume, the condensed liquid may slide down from the tube 1t. The blocking member 3p can prevent the condensed liquid sliding down from the tube 1t from contacting the heating component 5. The blocking member 3p can prevent the sliding condensed liquid from contaminating the heating component 5. The blocking member 3p can prevent the sliding condensed liquid from changing the taste of the aerosol. The blocking member 3p can prevent the condensed liquid from sliding down to the high-temperature heating component and causing liquid splashing. The blocking member 3p can prevent the splashed liquid from scalding the user.

[0044] Figure 4B The airflow 6f from the atomizing chamber 6C to the liquid reservoir 20 is shown.

[0045] When the atomizer is at rest and not inhaled by the user, the opening 3h1 is tightly combined with the upper cover sealing assembly 2, and the tobacco oil in the liquid storage chamber 20 will not leak out from the channel 3c1.

[0046] As the user continues to use the atomizing device, the volatile solution in the liquid storage tank 20 is continuously consumed and reduced, causing the pressure in the liquid storage tank 20 to gradually decrease. The decrease in pressure in the liquid storage tank 20 may generate negative pressure. The decrease in pressure in the liquid storage tank 20 may make it difficult for the volatile solution to flow to the groove 5c of the heating component 5 through the channels 3c2 and 3c3. When the groove 5c does not completely absorb the volatile solution, the high-temperature heating component 5 may dry burn and produce a burning smell.

[0047] The above problem can be improved by providing a channel 3c1 in the upper cover 3 of the heating component. The channel 3c1 provided in the upper cover 3 of the heating component can balance the pressure in the liquid storage tank 20. Because the atomizing chamber 6C is fluidly connected to the tube 1t, the pressure in the atomizing chamber 6C is approximately equal to one atmosphere. When the volatile solution in the liquid storage tank 20 is continuously reduced, the pressure in the liquid storage tank 20 is gradually less than one atmosphere. The pressure difference between the atomizing chamber 6C and the liquid storage tank 20 causes the airflow 6f to reach the junction of the opening 3h1 and the upper cover sealing component 2 from the atomizing chamber 6C via the channel 3c1. The airflow 6f can partially push the upper cover sealing component 2 away. The airflow 6f can partially deform the upper cover sealing component 2. The airflow 6f can enter the liquid storage tank 20 through the gap generated by the deformation of the upper cover sealing component 2. The airflow 6f entering the liquid storage tank 20 can increase the pressure in the liquid storage tank 20. The airflow 6f entering the liquid storage tank 20 can balance the pressure between the liquid storage tank 20 and the atomization chamber 6C.

[0048] In some embodiments, the heating element upper cover 3 may be additionally provided with a channel having the same function as the channel 3c1. For example, the heating element upper cover 3 may also be provided with a ventilation channel near the opening 3h4.

[0049] Figure 5A partial bottom view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0050] Figure 5 The bottom view of the housing 1, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 and the heating component upper cover 3 after being combined with each other is shown. The upper cover sealing assembly 2 is arranged between the housing 1 and the heating component upper cover 3.

[0051] The groove 3r1 is formed between the columnar portions 3w1 and 3w2. The groove 3r1 is formed between the heating element upper cover 3 and the housing 1. The groove 3r1 allows a gap between the heating element upper cover 3 and the housing 1. The groove 3r1 allows the channel 3h4 of the heating element upper cover 3 to be fluidly connected to the atomizing chamber 6C. The blocking member 3p is disposed between the channels 3c2 and 3c3. The blocking member 3p can prevent the condensed liquid sliding down from the tube 1t from contacting the heating element 5.
