Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As governments around the world tighten their control and restrictions on tobacco products, people's demand for tobacco substitutes continues to grow. Electronic cigarette devices may be a tobacco substitute that atomizes atomizable materials (e.g., tobacco oil) through electronic aerosol generating devices or electronic atomizing devices to produce aerosol for users to inhale, thereby simulating the sensory experience of smoking. Compared with traditional tobacco products, electronic cigarette devices as substitutes can effectively reduce harmful substances produced by combustion, thereby reducing the harmful side effects of smoking.

[0003] However, electronic cigarette devices often have some limitations in repeated use, including: the need to replace or refill the e-liquid, complicated operation, e-liquid leakage, burning, short battery life, and high price, which inevitably lead to a bad user experience. Therefore, further development and improvement of electronic cigarette devices are necessary.

[0031] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing the different features of the subject matter provided. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. In the present invention, references to the formation of a first feature on or over a second feature in the following description may include embodiments in which the first feature is formed in direct contact with the second feature, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first feature and the second feature so that the first feature may not be in direct contact with the second feature. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.

[0032] The following is a detailed discussion of embodiments of the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention provides many applicable concepts that can be implemented in a variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] As used herein, the term "aerosol for inhalation by a user" may include, but is not limited to, aerosols, suspended liquids, cryogenic vapors, and volatile gases.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides an atomizing device. The atomizing device may include a disposable electronic cigarette. The disposable electronic cigarette is an electronic cigarette device that does not repeatedly replace, inject or modify the various components it contains, such as batteries or vaporizable materials (smoke oil). The atomizing device can atomize the vaporizable material through a heating device to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. The atomizing device of the present application can simplify the user's operation and enhance the user's experience.

[0035] Figure 1A , 1B , 1C, 1D and 1E demonstrate exemplary top, bottom, front, side and back views of the atomization device according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0036] The atomizing device 100 may include an oil storage component (cartridge) 100A and a main body 100B. In some embodiments, the oil storage component 100A and the main body 100B may be designed as a whole. In some embodiments, the oil storage component 100A and the main body 100B may be designed as two separate components. In some embodiments, the oil storage component 100A may be designed to be removably combined with the main body 100B. In some embodiments, when the oil storage component 100A is combined with the main body 100B, a portion of the oil storage component 100A is stored in the main body 100B. In some embodiments, the oil storage component 100A may be called a smoke cartridge, and the main body 100B may be called a main body (main body) or a battery component.

[0037] Figure 2A and 2B Schematic cross-sectional views of the front and side surfaces of an atomization device according to some embodiments of the present invention are shown.

[0038] The atomizing device 100 has a central axis L, which substantially passes through the aerosol passage 100c of the oil storage assembly 100A and the mouthpiece hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1. In other words, the aerosol passage 100c and a portion of the central axis L are substantially coaxial. In some embodiments, the atomizing device 100 may be long and flat. Figure 2A The maximum first width W1 of the front side is greater than that of Figure 2B The maximum second width W2 of the side surface is shown.

[0039] Figure 3A , 3B And 3C demonstrates a three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram of the oil storage assembly according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3D A perspective cross-sectional schematic diagram illustrating a side view of an oil storage assembly according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 4A , 4B 4C and 4D demonstrate exemplary front, side, top and bottom schematic views of the oil storage assembly according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 4E and 4F Demo Figure 4A and 4B Schematic diagram of an exemplary front and side cross-section of an oil storage assembly.

[0040] like Figures 3A to 3D As demonstrated, the oil storage component 100A may include a mouthpiece cover 1, an oil storage component housing 2, a first liquid absorption component 3, a heating component top cover 4, a heating component 5, a heating component base 6, an oil cup base 7 and columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mouthpiece cover 1 and the oil storage assembly housing 2 may be two separate components. In some embodiments, the mouthpiece cover 1 and the oil storage assembly housing 2 may be integrally formed to form an oil storage shell together. The mouthpiece cover 1 has a mouthpiece hole 1h. The mouthpiece hole 1h constitutes a part of the aerosol passage 100c. The aerosol generated by the atomizing device 100 may be inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece hole 1h. Figure 4E and 4F As shown, the inside of the cigarette holder cover 1 includes a cigarette holder tube 1t, and the cigarette holder tube 1t extends from the cigarette holder hole 1h to the inside of the oil storage assembly housing 2. Figure 4E In the cross-sectional view shown, the width of the mist channel 100c can be gradually expanded outward along the mouthpiece hole 1h near the mouthpiece hole 1h, which is conducive to the dispersion of smoke. Figure 4F In the cross-sectional view shown, the widths of the aerosol passages 100c may be substantially the same.

[0042] In addition, there is a storage compartment 1c between the shell of the cigarette holder cover 1 and the cigarette holder tube 1t. The oil storage assembly shell 2 has an opening 223 (see Figure 3B The storage compartment 1c and the mouthpiece tube 1t are exposed to the outside through the opening 223.

[0043] like Figure 3D As demonstrated, in some embodiments, the first liquid absorption component 3 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t. In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t has an annular groove 1g, which is formed radially outward from the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t. The first liquid absorption component 3 is in the shape of a long tube and is disposed on the annular groove 1g on the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t. One end of the first liquid absorption component 3 abuts on the side wall 1w of the annular groove 1g, and the other end of the first liquid absorption component 3 abuts on the convex connection pipe 4t1 of the top cover 4 of the heating component. In some embodiments, when the first liquid absorption component 3 is accommodated in the annular groove 1g on the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t, the inner diameter of the first liquid absorption component 3 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t (i.e., the inner wall surface without the annular groove). Thus, since the first absorbent assembly 3 is disposed in the annular groove 1g and one end of the first absorbent assembly 3 adjacent to the mouthpiece tube 1t abuts against the side wall 1w of the annular groove 1g, the user cannot remove the first absorbent assembly 3 from the mouthpiece hole 1h.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first absorbent component 3 may be in the shape of a long tube. The first absorbent component 3 may include a cotton core material. In some embodiments, the first absorbent component 3 may include a non-woven material. In some embodiments, the first absorbent component 3 may include a polymer material. In some embodiments, the first absorbent component 3 may include a combination of a cotton core, a non-woven polymer, and a polymer.

[0045] like Figures 3A to 3D As shown, the sealing component 41 can be sleeved on the annular retaining groove 41g1 outside the connecting pipe 4t1 of the heating component top cover 4. When the cigarette holder cover 1 and the oil storage component housing 2 are installed on the heating component top cover 4, the free end of the cigarette holder tube 1t can be against the sealing component 41 and engaged in the annular retaining groove 41g1. Figure 3A and 3DAs demonstrated. That is, the sealing component 41 is engaged between the free end of the cigarette holder tube 1t and the bottom of the retaining groove 41g1. In some embodiments, the sealing component 41 has an annular shape. In some embodiments, the sealing component 41 may have other shapes. The sealing component 41 may be flexible. The sealing component 41 may be ductile. In some embodiments, the sealing component 41 may include a silicone material. In some embodiments, the sealing component 41 may have a hardness between 20 and 40. In some embodiments, the sealing component 41 may have a hardness between 40 and 60. In some embodiments, the sealing component 41 may have a hardness between 60 and 75. The hardness unit used here is Shore Hardness A (HA).

[0046] In some embodiments, the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 6 may together form a "heating element containing shell" for accommodating the heating element.

[0047] like Figures 3A to 3C As shown, the heating element cover 4 mainly includes a bottom 42, a body 43, a connecting pipe 4t1 and positioning posts 4p1, 4p2. The body 43 is located between the bottom 42 and the connecting pipe 4t1. The positioning posts 4p1, 4p2 extend from the bottom 42 toward the heating element base 6. The heating element cover 4 has a through-flow channel 4c (such as Figure 3D As shown in the figure, the through-flow channel 4c penetrates the bottom 42, the atomization chamber 40 of the body 43 and the connecting pipe 4t1. In some embodiments, the positioning posts 4p1 and 4p2 may be columnar or conical.

[0048] like Figures 3A to 3D As shown, the heating element top cover 4 has two opposite sides with liquid inlet holes 4h1, which are formed on two opposite surfaces of the atomizing device 100, such as the front and back surfaces (such as Figure 3D and 4FAs demonstrated), and the liquid inlet hole 4h1 passes through the body 43. In this way, the through flow channel 4c can be connected to the outside of the heating component top cover 4 via the liquid inlet hole 4h. In some embodiments, the liquid inlet hole 4h1 can be located on two relatively flat opposite sides of the atomization device 100. In this way, volatile substances will not enter the atomization chamber 40 in large quantities. In addition, when the cigarette holder cover 1 and the oil storage component shell 2 are assembled on the heating component top cover 4, the cigarette holder cover 1 and the interior of the oil storage component shell 2 and the outer top of the heating component top cover 4 form a storage compartment 1c, and the storage compartment 1c is used to store liquid, such as tobacco oil. The cigarette holder cover 1, the oil storage component shell 2 and the heating component top cover 4 define the storage compartment 1c. The atomizable material can be stored in the storage compartment 1c. The atomizable liquid can be stored in the storage compartment 1c. The atomizable material can be a liquid. The atomizable material can be a solution. In the subsequent paragraphs of this application, the atomizable material can also be referred to as tobacco oil. The tobacco oil is edible. In addition, the smoke oil can flow into the interior of the heating component top cover 4 through the liquid inlet hole 4h1 of the heating component top cover 4.

[0049] like Figures 3A to 3B As shown, both sides of the bottom 42 also have first conductive channels 4h2 and 4h3, which penetrate the bottom 42. Figure 3A and 4E As shown, the inner wall surface of the first conductive channels 4h2, 4h3 located at the bottom 42 close to the body 43 has a first engaging structure 44. In some embodiments, the first engaging structure 44 is an annular protrusion.

[0050] The heating component cover 4 may include plastic material. In some embodiments, the heating component cover 4 may include polypropylene (PP), high-pressure polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and other materials. In some embodiments, the heating component cover 4 may include silicone material.

[0051] The heating component top cover 4 and the sealing component 41 can be made of the same material. The heating component top cover 4 and the sealing component 41 can be made of different materials. The heating component top cover 4 and the sealing component 41 can include different materials. In some embodiments, the hardness of the heating component top cover 4 can be greater than the hardness of the sealing component 41. In some embodiments, the heating component top cover 4 can have a hardness between 65 and 75. In some embodiments, the heating component top cover 4 can have a hardness between 75 and 85. In some embodiments, the heating component top cover 4 can have a hardness between 85 and 90.

[0052] like Figure 3D As demonstrated, in some embodiments, in the through-flow channel 4c, the through-flow channel 4c has a groove located in the body 43 to form the aerosol chamber 40. The heating assembly 5 is disposed in the aerosol chamber 40.

[0053] like Figures 3A to 3DAs shown, the heating assembly 5 may include a hollow tube 51, a liquid suction sleeve 52, and a heating core 53. The liquid suction sleeve 52 surrounds the outer wall of the hollow tube 51, and the heating core 53 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the hollow tube 51. In some embodiments, the heating core 53 is welded to the inner wall surface of the hollow tube 51 in a spiral manner. The channel inside the hollow tube 51, the inner diameter of the first liquid suction assembly 3, and the inner diameter of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t may be substantially the same. In some embodiments, the channel inside the hollow tube 51, the inner diameter of the first liquid suction assembly 3, and the inner diameter of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t may be different.

[0054] The heating core 53 can also be buried in the hollow tube 51 and extend outward from the hollow tube 51 to be exposed on the outer wall of the hollow tube 51. In addition, the opening of the through-flow channel 4c at the bottom 42 is larger than the outer diameter of the heating element 5, while the opening of the through-flow channel 4c at the connecting pipe 4t1 is smaller than the outer diameter of the heating element 5. Therefore, when the heating element 5 is installed in the through-flow channel 4c, the heating element 5 can only enter from the bottom 42 and cannot enter from the connecting pipe 4t1 into the through-flow channel 4c. Such a configuration can enhance the stability of the heating element 5.

[0055] In some embodiments, the material of the hollow tube 51 may include ceramics, and the hollow tube 51 is used to absorb smoke oil. In some embodiments, the material of the hollow tube 51 may include silicon oxide. In some embodiments, the material of the hollow tube 51 may include aluminum oxide. In some embodiments, the material of the hollow tube 51 may include zirconium oxide. In some embodiments, the material of the hollow tube 51 may include porous materials, for example, one or more of cotton, carbon fiber materials, silicone materials, and ceramic materials. The material of the suction sleeve 52 may be a polymer material. For example, the material of the suction sleeve 52 may be polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE).

[0056] The liquid absorption sleeve 52 is disposed between the liquid inlet hole 4h1 and the hollow tube 51. The liquid absorption sleeve 52 can absorb the smoke oil. The liquid absorption sleeve 52 can prevent the smoke oil in the storage compartment 1c from directly contacting the hollow tube 51. The liquid absorption sleeve 52 can adjust the amount of smoke oil absorbed by the hollow tube 51. The liquid absorption sleeve 52 can reduce the probability of leakage of the smoke oil that cannot be completely absorbed by the hollow tube 51.

[0057] See also Figure 3A The heating element base 6 includes a base body 61, conductive pillars 6p1, 6p2, guide pillars 6p3 and a flow guide tube 6t1. The conductive pillars 6p1, 6p2, guide pillars 6p3 and flow guide tube 6t1 are all disposed on the base body 61 and extend toward the heating element top cover 4.

[0058] The groove in the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 6 define the atomization chamber. The atomization chamber can be a cavity between the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 6. In other words, the heating element 5 is buried in the atomization chamber.

[0059] The guide tube 6t1 is located in the guide column 6p3, and an annular groove 62 is formed between the two. The conductive columns 6p1 and 6p2 are located on opposite sides of the guide column 6p3, and the second conductive channels 6h1 and 6h2 in the conductive columns 6p1 and 6p2 correspond to the first conductive channels 4h2 and 4h3 of the heating component top cover 4 respectively. The seat body 61 further has positioning holes 6h3 and 6h4, and the positioning columns 4p1 and 4p2 can pass through the positioning holes 6h3 and 6h4 to achieve the effect of positioning the heating component top cover 4 and the heating component base 6 with respect to each other. The seat body 61 further has a receiving groove 63. The receiving groove 63 faces the oil cup base 7 and is used to receive a portion of the oil cup base 7. The guide column 6p3 also extends into the receiving groove 63. The top surface of the guide column 6p3 may have a step, such as Figure 3A The step is used to support the heating component 5. When the condensate of the volatile material flows down, the condensate will flow to the annular groove 62 corresponding to the inner wall of the heating component 5 to prevent the condensate from flowing into the aerosol channel 100c or the oil cup base 7.

[0060] like Figure 3C As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive pillars 6p1 and 6p2 have a second engaging structure 65. The second engaging structure 65 is used to engage with the first engaging structure 44 of the heating component top cover 4, respectively. Figure 4E In some embodiments, the second engaging structure 65 is an annular groove, which is used to correspond to the annular protrusion of the first engaging structure 44. Figure 3A As shown, in some embodiments, the heating element base 6 further has through holes 6h5 and 6h6. The through holes 6h5 and 6h6 can penetrate the base 61 and the guide pillar 6p3.

[0061] In some embodiments, the outer side of the base body 61 of the heating element base 6 further includes an annular flange 68. The annular flange 68 can be engaged with the inner wall of the oil storage element housing 2 to enhance the effect of the stable arrangement of the heating element base 6 and the oil storage element housing 2.

[0062] like Figure 3A and 3BAs demonstrated, the oil cup base 7 has a guide groove 72, a third conductive channel 7h1, 7h2, positioning grooves 7h3, 7h4, air inlet holes 7h5, 7h6 and hollow guide columns 7c1, 7c2. The third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2 are respectively located on both sides of the guide groove 72. The third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2 pass through the oil cup base 7, and the third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2 correspond to the second conductive channels 6h1, 6h2 of the heating component base 6. The positioning grooves 7h3, 7h4 are located on both sides of the guide groove 72, and correspond to the positioning holes 6h3, 6h4 of the seat body 61, respectively. In this way, when the heating component top cover 4, the heating component base 6 and the oil cup base 7 are assembled together, the positioning columns 4p1, 4p2 can pass through the positioning holes 6h3, 6h4 and the positioning grooves 7h3, 7h4 to achieve the effect of positioning the heating component top cover 4, the heating component base 6 and the oil cup base 7 with each other, such as Figure 4E shown.

[0063] In some embodiments, the opening of the guide groove 72 faces the receiving groove 63 of the heating component base 6. Figures 3A to 3D As demonstrated, the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 are located in the guide groove 72, and one end of the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 are connected to the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 respectively, and the other ends of the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 are located in the guide groove 72 and face the heating component base 6. In some embodiments, the aerosol channel 100c is a channel through which the airflow passes between the guide groove 72 and the mouthpiece hole 1h. The opposite sides of the guide column 6p3 of the heating component base 6 respectively abut against the end edges of the corresponding hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2. In some embodiments, the oil cup base 7 includes a second liquid absorption component 71, which is arranged at the bottom of the guide groove 72. The second liquid absorption component 71 is used to absorb the atomizable liquid, such as tobacco oil, from the aerosol channel 100c and the heating component 5. The shape of the second liquid absorption component 71 and the guide groove 72 can be "H-shaped" to avoid the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2. Figure 4E As demonstrated, the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 are between the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2, but the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 are not in the center, that is, they do not pass through the central axis L. In addition, the extension directions L1 and L2 of the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 do not intersect with the extension direction of the first liquid absorption component (i.e., the extension direction of the aerosol channel 100c). In some embodiments, the extension directions L1 and L2 of the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 are parallel to the extension direction of the first liquid absorption component (i.e., the extension direction of the aerosol channel 100c) but do not intersect. Figure 3D , 4E , 4F and 4G, when the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 of the airflow hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 enter the oil cup base 7, the guide column 6p3 changes the airflow G1 (such as Figure 3DThe airflow G1 is directed into the guide groove 72 instead of the original straight-line direction (as demonstrated). The airflow then flows in the axial direction and enters the atomizing chamber 40 in the top cover 4 of the heating component through the perforations in the guide pillar 6p3 of the heating component base 6. This non-linear airflow guiding method can effectively prevent the atomizable material and its condensate from flowing out of the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 of the oil cup base 7 of the oil storage component 100A.

[0064] like Figure 3C As shown, in some embodiments, the oil storage assembly housing 2 has a snap-fit ​​hole 23, and the oil cup base 7 includes a snap-fit ​​block 73. During assembly, the snap-fit ​​hole 23 and the snap-fit ​​block 73 can snap-fit ​​with each other to enhance the snap-fit ​​fixation of the oil storage assembly housing 2 and the oil cup base 7.

[0065] like Figure 2A As demonstrated, the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 can serve as electrical coupling points with the main body 100B. That is, the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 are used to receive power from the main body 100B. Figures 3A to 3D As demonstrated, when the heating component top cover 4, the heating component base 6 and the oil cup base 7 are assembled together, the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 can extend through the third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 of the oil cup base 7, the second conductive channels 6h1 and 6h2 of the heating component base 6 and the first conductive channels 4h2 and 4h3 of the heating component top cover 4, respectively, so that the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 enter the storage compartment 1c of the cigarette holder cover 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 4E Demonstrated.

[0066] by Figure 3B Taking the demonstrated columnar conductive structure 7p1 as an example, in some embodiments, the columnar conductive structure 7p1 includes a base 74, a first connecting section 75, a second connecting section 76 and a third connecting section 77 that are connected to each other and gradually shrink. The base 74 is exposed outside the oil storage component 100A, and the base 74 can be in a flat circular shape. When the columnar conductive structure 7p1 is inserted into the oil cup base 7, the heating component base 6 and the heating component top cover 4, the top of the third connecting section 77 is located in the storage compartment 1c. In some embodiments, the oil storage component 100A can further include annular gaskets 78a, 78b, which can be sleeved between the first connecting section 75 and the second connecting section 76, and abut against the wall surface of the third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2 of the oil cup base 7. The annular gaskets 78a, 78b are used to prevent liquid from flowing out of the third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2. The annular gaskets 78a, 78b are O-rings and have elasticity. The material of the annular gaskets 78a and 78b can be silicone.

[0067] In some embodiments, before the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 are installed, the third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 of the oil cup base 7, the second conductive channels 6h1 and 6h2 of the heating component base 6, and the first conductive channels 4h2 and 4h3 of the heating component top cover 4 can be used as injection channels. After the assembler has finished injecting the liquid into the storage compartment 1c, the assembler can mechanically couple the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 and the annular gaskets 72 and 73 to the third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 of the oil cup base 7, the second conductive channels 6h1 and 6h2 of the heating component base 6, and the first conductive channels 4h2 and 4h3 of the heating component top cover 4 to close the oil injection channel, such as Figure 4E Demonstrated.

[0068] In some embodiments, the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 may be made of metal, such as iron, which can be used for conducting electricity. The base 74 of the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 may be plated with a metal protective layer, such as gold. The metal protective layer can protect the base 74 and enhance the appearance. In some embodiments, the heating element 5 includes a conductive circuit (not shown). One end of the conductive circuit connects the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2, and extends from the third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 to the guide groove 72 of the oil cup base 7 and the receiving groove 63 of the heating element base 6, and then connects to the central part of the heating element 5 through the through holes 6h5 and 6h6, that is, the heating core 53 located on the outer wall of the hollow pipe 51 in some embodiments. Through the configuration described above, the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 can be electrically coupled to the heating core 53 of the heating element 5. In other embodiments, the electrical coupling of the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 and the heating element 5 can be completed through different paths. By providing power to the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2, the atomizing device 100 can increase the temperature of the heating core 51 of the heating component 5.

[0069] In some embodiments, the heating core 53 and the conductive line may include a metal material. In some embodiments, the heating core 53 and the conductive line may include silver. In some embodiments, the heating core 53 and the conductive line may include platinum. In some embodiments, the heating core 53 and the conductive line may include palladium. In some embodiments, the heating core 53 and the conductive line may include nickel. In some embodiments, the heating core 53 and the conductive line may include a nickel alloy material.

[0070] like Figure 4GAs demonstrated, in some embodiments, the atomizer 100 further includes a first protective plug 79a and a second protective plug 79b. The first protective plug 79a is installed in a detachable manner and extends into the mouthpiece hole 1h. The second protective plug 79b is installed in a detachable manner and extends into the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 of the oil cup base 7. In this way, the first protective plug 79a and the second protective plug 79b can protect the inside of the mouthpiece hole 1h and the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 and prevent foreign objects from entering. When the user starts to use the atomizer 100, the first protective plug 79a and the second protective plug 79b must be removed before the atomizer 100 can be used.

[0071] Figure 5A An exploded schematic diagram illustrating a body according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 5B and 5C The front and side schematic diagrams of the main body according to some embodiments of the present application are respectively demonstrated.

[0072] In some embodiments, the main body 100B can supply power to the oil storage component 100A. The main body 100B can include a conductive component 11, a magnetic component 12, a sensor 13, a sealing kit 13a, a light guide frame 14, a main circuit board 15, a vibrator 17, magnetic guides 18a, 18b, a charging guide 19, a power component 20, a power component bracket 21, a main housing 22, a charging circuit board 23, an adjustment circuit 24, and a port 25.

[0073] The main housing 22 has an opening 22h and a cavity 22c. The power supply component bracket 21 is disposed in the cavity 22c of the main housing 22 through the opening 22h of the main housing 22. Figure 1C and Figure 5C As shown, the surface of the main housing 22 has a light-transmitting component 221. A plurality of light-transmitting components 221 can be arranged around to form a specific shape or pattern, such as a circle. The light-transmitting component 221 can be a through hole. The material of the main housing 22 can be metal to enhance the overall strength of the atomizing device 100. For example, the material of the main housing 22 can be aluminum to reduce the overall weight.

[0074] The power component bracket 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 opposite to each other. At the first end 212 (or the top), the power component bracket 21 has conductive grooves 21c1, 21c2 and a groove portion 21g. The groove portion 21g is formed between the conductive grooves 21c1, 21c2 and faces the air inlet holes 7h5, 7h6. The conductive grooves 21c1, 21c2 correspond to the columnar conductive structures 7p1, 7p2 and the third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2. The groove portion 21g corresponds to the air inlet holes 7h5, 7h6.

[0075] Figure 5DA schematic side view of an oil storage assembly according to some embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 5D As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 100B may include a liquid absorbent 28, such as a liquid absorbent cotton, disposed in the groove 21g. The liquid absorbent 28 is used to absorb condensed liquid, such as tobacco oil, falling from the inner wall of the air inlet 7h5 and 7h6. In some embodiments, the shape of the liquid absorbent 28 and the groove 21g may be "H-shaped" to avoid the conductive grooves 21c1 and 21c2. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 5C As shown, the power component bracket 21 further has an air flow channel 21c3 that penetrates the upper portion of the power component bracket 21. The air flow channel 21c3 is located beside the groove portion 21g, but is spaced apart from each other.

[0076] like Figure 5B As demonstrated, the inner wall surface of the main housing 22 has a snap-fit ​​portion 225, and the first end 211 of the power component bracket 21 may have an elastic snap-fit ​​member 215. The snap-fit ​​portion 225 of the main housing 22 may be mechanically coupled with the elastic snap-fit ​​member 215. In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 225 may be a slot extending into the interior of the main housing 22, and the elastic snap-fit ​​member 225 may be a cantilever. The cantilever may be snapped into the slot 215. Such a configuration may enhance the snap-fitting effect between the power component bracket 21 and the main housing 22, and prevent incorrect relative displacement between the power component bracket 21 and the main housing 22.

[0077] In some embodiments, the number of the conductive components 11 is two. The two conductive components 11 are respectively disposed in the two conductive slots 21c1 and 21c2, and the two conductive components 11 can respectively penetrate the conductive slots 21c1 and 21c2 to be electrically coupled with the main circuit board 15. The two conductive components 11 respectively include conductive pins 11p1 and 11p2. The conductive pins 11p1 and 11p2 can respectively be electrically coupled (connected) with the heating component 5 through the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2.

[0078] In some embodiments, the magnetic component 12 can be respectively mounted on the conductive pins 11p1 and 11p2 of the conductive component 11. The magnetic component 12 can be a permanent magnet. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 12 can be an electromagnet. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 12 itself has magnetism. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 12 has magnetism only after power is turned on.

[0079] The sensor 13 is disposed in the sensor mounting groove 213 of the power assembly bracket 21. When the oil storage assembly 100A and the main body 100B are installed, a small gap will be formed between the oil storage assembly 100A and the main body 100B to allow airflow to enter the interior of the atomizing device 100. In some embodiments, the sensor 13 can be connected to the atomizing device 100 through the airflow channel 21c3 (see FIG. Figure 5C) detects airflow or air pressure changes. In some embodiments, the sensor 13 can detect sound waves through the airflow channel 21c3. In addition, the sealing kit 13a can be set between the sensor 13 and the power component bracket 21 to strengthen the stable setting of the sensor 13. In some embodiments, the shape of the sensor 13 can be an oblate cylindrical shape, and the shape of the sealing kit 13a can be a cylindrical shape.

[0080] The main circuit board 15 is disposed between the light guide frame 14 and the power supply component bracket 21. The main circuit board 15 includes a light emitting component 153, which corresponds to (and faces) the light-transmitting component 221. The light emitting component 153 is configured to emit light to the light-transmitting component 221. In some embodiments, the light guide frame 14 can be attached to the inner wall surface of the main housing 22 and enclose the light-transmitting component 221. The light guide frame 14 can be transparent or translucent so that the light emitted by the light emitting component 153 is emitted from the inside of the main housing 22 through the light-transmitting component 221. In some embodiments, the light-transmitting component 221 can be substantially rectangular. In some embodiments, the light-transmitting component 221 can be symmetrical in appearance. In some embodiments, the light-transmitting component 221 can be asymmetrical in appearance. The light emitted by one or more light emitting components 153 on the main circuit board 15 is visible through the light-transmitting component 221.

[0081] The main circuit board 15 includes a controller 151. The controller 151 may be a microprocessor. The controller 151 may be a programmable integrated circuit. The controller 151 may be a programmable logic circuit. In some embodiments, the operation logic in the controller 151 cannot be changed after the controller 151 is manufactured. In some embodiments, the operation logic in the controller 151 may be programmably changed after the controller 151 is manufactured.

[0082] The controller 151 may be electrically connected to the sensor 13. The controller 151 may be electrically connected to the conductive component 11. The controller 151 may be electrically connected to the power component 20. When the sensor 13 detects an airflow, the controller 151 may control the power component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11. When the sensor 13 detects an air pressure change, the controller 151 may control the power component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11. When the sensor 13 detects a negative pressure, the controller 151 may control the power component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11. When the controller 151 determines that the air pressure detected by the sensor 13 is lower than a threshold value, the controller 151 may control the power component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11. When the sensor 13 detects a sound wave, the controller 151 may control the power component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11. When the controller 151 determines that the amplitude of the sound wave detected by the sensor 13 is higher than a threshold value, the controller 151 may control the power component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11.

[0083] The vibrator 17 may be mounted on the power assembly bracket 21 and may be electrically connected to the controller 151. In some embodiments, the vibrator 17 is electrically connected to the controller 151 on the main circuit board 15 via a cable.

[0084] According to different operating states of the atomizing device 100, the controller 151 can control the vibrator 17 to produce different somatosensory effects. In some embodiments, when the user inhales for more than a certain length of time, the controller 151 can control the vibrator 17 to vibrate to remind the user to stop inhaling. In some embodiments, when the user charges the atomizing device 100, the controller 151 can control the vibrator 17 to vibrate to indicate that charging has begun. In some embodiments, when the atomizing device 100 has been fully charged, the controller 151 can control the vibrator 17 to vibrate to indicate that charging has been completed.

[0085] The power supply assembly 20 may be disposed in the power supply assembly bracket 21. The power supply assembly 20 may be directly or indirectly electrically coupled to the sensor 13, the main circuit board 15, the controller 151, the vibrator 17, the charging guide 19, the charging circuit board 23, the adjustment circuit 24, and the port 25. In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 20 is located between the main circuit board 15 and the charging circuit board 23. In other words, the main circuit board 15 is closer to the first end 211 than the charging circuit board 23, and the charging circuit board 23 is closer to the second end 212 than the main circuit board 15.

[0086] The magnetic guides 18a and 18b are disposed at the second end 212 (or the bottom) of the power component bracket 21. One end of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b is exposed through the through holes 22h2 and 22h3 of the main housing 22. In some embodiments, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b are inserted into the mounting groove 216 of the power component bracket 21 at the second end 212 in an interference fit manner. In other words, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b may be slightly larger than the size of the mounting groove 216 of the power component bracket 21. In this way, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b can be firmly disposed on the power component bracket 21. In some embodiments, the surfaces of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b may include adhesive sheets 18c and 18d to strengthen the fixed arrangement of the magnetic guides 18c and 18d and the mounting groove 216 of the power component bracket 21. For example, the adhesive sheet may be adhesive or double-sided adhesive.

[0087] In some embodiments, the port 25 is disposed in the first opening 22h1 of the second end 212 of the main housing 22 and is fixed to the charging circuit board 23. The central axis L passes through the port 25 and the first opening 22h1. The port 25 can be a USB port (universal serial bus port). In some embodiments, the port 25 includes a USB Type-C port. The port 25 can also be connected to a connection line to charge the atomization device 100.

[0088] In some embodiments, the outer side of the first opening 22h1 of the second end 212 of the main housing 22 is an arc surface, and the inner side of the first opening 22h1 is a plane. In this way, since the inner side of the first opening 22h1 is a plane, compared with the previous design with uniform wall thickness, the assembly gap between the port 25 and the first opening 22h1 can be improved. The outer side of the first opening 22h1 is an arc surface, which can enhance the visual appearance and is based on ergonomic design, which is convenient for users to hold.

[0089] The adjustment circuit 24 is disposed on the charging circuit board 23. The charging circuit board 23 is fixed to the platform of the second end 212 of the power component bracket 21 through the fixing member 26. The charging circuit board 23 is electrically coupled to the adjustment circuit 24 and the main circuit board 15. In some embodiments, the adjustment circuit 24 can be a switch.

[0090] The charging conductor 19 may be inserted through the second openings 22h2 and 22h3 of the second end 212 of the main housing 22. The charging conductor 19 may be electrically coupled to the charging circuit board 23 and / or the main circuit board 15. Figure 5B As shown, the charging conductor 19 is directly electrically coupled to the charging circuit board 23, and an external device can charge the power supply assembly 20 via the charging conductor 19. In some embodiments, the charging conductor 19 is located on opposite sides of the port 25. In some embodiments, the charging conductor 19 can be a metal probe. In some embodiments, the charging conductor 19 can be a spring connector (pogo pin, or spring probe) that can be disposed between the power supply assembly 20 and the main housing 22. The charging conductor 19 can be in direct contact with the surface 20S of the power supply assembly 20 and the inner wall of the main housing 22. Although not shown in the figure, it is conceivable that an additional buffer assembly can be disposed between the power supply assembly 20 and the power supply assembly bracket 21.

[0091] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 20 can be a battery. In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 20 can be a rechargeable battery. In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 20 can be a disposable battery.

[0092] In some embodiments, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b may have the same polarity (magnetic polarity) when facing the outside of the atomization device 100 (for example, in the direction toward the opening 22h1, or in the direction opposite to the oil storage component 100A). For example, they may be the same S pole or the same N pole. When the magnetic guides 18a and 18b have the same polarity in the opposite direction of the oil storage component (i.e., facing the outside of the atomization device 100), when the atomization device 100 needs to be connected to an external accommodating device with a corresponding polarity (such as a charging box or a charging stand), the atomization device 100 can be normally adsorbed into the external device regardless of whether it is placed in the external device with the front or back side, and can be charged normally through the charging guide 19.

[0093] In addition, in other embodiments, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b facing the opposite direction of the oil storage assembly (i.e., facing the outside of the atomizer 100) may be of different polarities (i.e., the polarities are opposite to each other). That is, one of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b is an N pole, and the other of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b is an S pole. When the magnetic guides 18a and 18b facing the outside of the atomizer 100 are of different polarities, when the atomizer 100 is placed in an external accommodating device in an inappropriate direction, the magnetic guide in the external device may cause the atomizer 100 to bounce up, and the user can immediately know that the atomizer 100 is inserted into the charging box in the wrong direction.

[0094] Figure 6 A cross-sectional schematic diagram illustrating that the atomizing device 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention is disposed on the side of the accommodating device 200. Figure 6 As demonstrated, the atomizing device 100 can be accommodated in a receiving device 200. For example, the receiving device 200 can have a receiving slot 210, and the receiving slot 210 can be used to receive the atomizing device 100. On the other hand, in some embodiments, the receiving device 200 can be used for charging function, and can be used to charge the atomizing device 100. In some embodiments, the receiving device 200 can include a magnetic attraction component 220, and the magnetic attraction component 220 is disposed under one end of the receiving slot 210.

[0095] In some embodiments, the middle axis normal line L3 extending from the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 does not penetrate the magnetic guides 18a and 18b of the atomizing device 100, and the tangent line L4 adjacent to the side edge 224 of the atomizing device 100 next to the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 penetrates the magnetic guides 18a and 18b corresponding to the main body 100B of the atomizing device 100. In other words, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b are closer to the middle area of ​​the accommodating device 200 than the magnetic component 220. For example, when the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 is an N pole, the end surface 18c of the magnetic guide 18a facing the outside of the atomizing device 100 (opposite to the direction of the oil storage component 100A) is an S pole, and the end surface 18d of the magnetic guide 18b facing the outside of the atomizing device 100 (opposite to the direction of the oil storage component 100A) is an N pole. Since the top surface 222 of the magnetic attraction component 220 and the closer magnetic guide 18a of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b attract each other, the atomizing device 100 can be correctly set at the designated position of the accommodating device 200. Since the top surface 222 of the magnetic attraction component 220 and the farther magnetic guide 18b of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b repel each other, it can be prevented that the opposite side of the atomizing device 100 (i.e., the end edge of the cigarette holder cover 1 of the oil storage component 100A) is lifted or bounced due to excessive magnetic attraction of the magnetic guide 18a. Therefore, the magnetic guide 18b has the effect of stably setting the atomizing device 100 in the accommodating device 200.

[0096] In some embodiments, if the charging box or charging stand corresponding to the atomizer device 100 does not have a relative polarity (electric polarity), the adjustment circuit 24 on the charging circuit board 23 is configured to adjust the current from the charging conductor 19 to complete the charging. Therefore, whether the atomizer device 100 is inserted into the charging box or charging stand in the forward or reverse direction, the adjustment circuit 24 is configured to adjust the charging current to complete the charging of the atomizer device 100. For example, assuming that power is provided to the first power input point P1 (not shown in the figure) and the second power input point P2 (not shown in the figure) of the charging circuit board 23 through the charging conductor 19, the first circuit output T1 of the charging circuit board 23 is a positive (+) output, and the second circuit output point T2 is a negative (-) output. In the first case, when the power input point P1 receives a positive power input and the second power input point P2 receives a negative power input, the first circuit output point T1 (not shown in the figure) can be adjusted to be positive and the second circuit output point T2 (not shown in the figure) to be negative by adjusting the configuration of the switch circuit module of the circuit 24. In the second case, when the power input point P1 receives a negative power input and the second power input point P2 receives a positive power input, the first circuit output point T1 can be adjusted to be positive and the second circuit output point T2 to be negative by adjusting the configuration of the switch circuit module of the circuit 24. Therefore, no matter how the polarity of the first power input point P1 and the second power input point P2 changes, the first circuit output point T1 and the second circuit output point T2 always maintain a fixed output polarity through the adjustment circuit 24, and supply power to the lower circuit, such as the power supply assembly 20 and / or the main circuit board 15.

[0097] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the oil storage assembly housing 2 may have a plurality of ribs, which are spaced apart from each other. The ribs may be arranged to extend axially in parallel with each other. In some embodiments, the ribs may be arranged non-parallel. The ribs may strengthen the rigidity of the oil storage assembly housing 2. The ribs may prevent the oil storage assembly housing 2 from being deformed due to external force. The ribs may prevent the oil in the storage compartment 1c from overflowing due to external force.

[0098] Back to Figures 3A to 4F , the hollow tube 51, the liquid absorption sleeve 52 and the heating core 53 of the heating component 5 are arranged in the atomization chamber 40 inside the top cover 4 of the heating component. The hollow tube 51 is arranged axially along the aerosol channel 100c. The tobacco oil in the storage compartment 1c can be adsorbed by the heating component 5 through the liquid inlet hole 4h1. The tobacco oil adsorbed on the heating component 5 is heated by the heating core 53 to generate aerosol in the atomization chamber 40. The aerosol can be inhaled by the user through the aerosol channel 100c. In this embodiment, the first liquid absorption component 3 can absorb the liquid condensed by the aerosol to prevent the condensed liquid from unexpectedly flowing out of the mouthpiece hole 1h.

[0099] In some embodiments, the heating core 53 may have a self-limiting temperature characteristic. The resistance value of the heating core 53 may increase as the temperature increases. When the temperature of the heating core 53 reaches a threshold value T1, the resistance value R1 is obtained. In some embodiments, when the temperature of the heating core 53 reaches a threshold value T1, the connection between the heating core 53 and the main body 100B can no longer increase the temperature of the heating core 53. In some embodiments, when the resistance value of the heating core 53 reaches R1, the heating power output by the heating core 53 can no longer increase the temperature of the heating core 53.

[0100] In some embodiments, the threshold value T1 is in the range of 200°C to 220°C. In some embodiments, the threshold value T1 is in the range of 220°C to 240°C. In some embodiments, the threshold value T1 is in the range of 240°C to 260°C. In some embodiments, the threshold value T1 is in the range of 260°C to 280°C. In some embodiments, the threshold value T1 is in the range of 280°C to 300°C. In some embodiments, the threshold value T1 is in the range of 280°C to 300°C. In some embodiments, the threshold value T2 is in the range of 300°C to 320°C.

[0101] In some embodiments, when heated to the threshold value T1, the heating core 53 has a resistance value greater than 10Ω. In some embodiments, when heated to the threshold value T1, the heating core 53 has a resistance value greater than 15Ω. In some embodiments, when heated to the threshold value T1, the heating core 53 has a resistance value greater than 20Ω. In some embodiments, when heated to the threshold value T1, the heating core 53 has a resistance value greater than 30Ω.

[0102] The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 can prevent the heating core 53 from being dry-burned. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 can reduce the probability of the heating device 13 being burned. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 can increase the safety of the heating device 13. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 can increase the service life of each component in the heating device 13. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 can effectively reduce the risk of nicotine decomposition.

[0103] The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 can control the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 at the mouthpiece hole 1h within a specific temperature to avoid scalding the lips. In some embodiments, the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 can be controlled within the range of 35°C to 60°C. In some embodiments, the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 can be controlled within the range of 35°C to 40°C. In some embodiments, the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 can be controlled within the range of 40°C to 45°C. In some embodiments, the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 can be controlled within the range of 45°C to 50°C. In some embodiments, the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 can be controlled within the range of 50°C to 55°C. In some embodiments, the smoke output temperature of the atomizer device 100 can be controlled within the range of 55°C to 60°C.

[0104] In some embodiments, the heating component 5 includes a protection component (not shown) connected to the heating core 53 .

[0105] In some embodiments, the protection component has a recoverable property.

[0106] When the temperature of the protection component rises to a threshold value T2, the protection component forms an open circuit. When the temperature of the protection component drops to a threshold value e, the protection component forms a short circuit. When the temperature of the protection component rises to a threshold value T2, current cannot be supplied to the heating core 53. When the temperature of the protection component drops to a threshold value T3, current can be supplied to the heating core 53.

Except for the mouthpiece hole 1h, the aerosol channel 100c formed by the mouthpiece tube 1t, the first liquid absorption component 3 and the connecting tube 4t1 may have a smooth inner diameter. The inner diameter of the airflow channel 100t does not have an obvious step difference at the junction of the mouthpiece tube 1t and the first liquid absorption component 3. The first liquid absorption component 3 and the connecting tube 4t1 do not have an obvious step difference.

[0109] In other embodiments not shown, the aerosol channel 100c formed by the mouthpiece tube 1t, the first liquid absorption component 3 and the connecting tube 4t1 may have a non-uniform inner diameter. For example, the inner diameter of the mouthpiece tube 1t is larger than the inner diameter of the first liquid absorption component 3.

[0110] In some embodiments, the hardness of the heating component top cover 4 and the oil cup base 7 may be greater than the hardness of the heating component base 6. In this way, through the appropriate deformation of the heating component base 6 engaging with the heating component top cover 4 and the oil cup base 7, the degree of close fit of the heating component base 6 engaging with the heating component top cover 4 and the oil cup base 7 can be improved, and the tolerance requirements can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty. In some embodiments, the hardness of the heating component top cover 4 may be less than that of the oil storage component housing 2. The hardness of the sealing component 41 may be less than that of the heating component top cover 4. The sealing component 41 may increase the close fit between the oil storage component housing 2 and the heating component top cover 4. The sealing component 41 may reduce the tolerance requirements of the oil storage component housing 2 and the heating component top cover 4. The sealing component 41 may reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the oil storage component housing 2 and the heating component top cover 4. The sealing component 41 may prevent the oil storage component housing 2 and the heating component top cover 4 from being damaged during the assembly process. The sealing component 41 may also prevent the tobacco oil in the storage compartment 1c from being drawn out from the cigarette holder hole 1h.

[0111] See also Figure 4E and 4F When the user inhales from the mouthpiece hole 1h, an airflow is generated in the oil storage assembly 100A. The front section of the airflow G1 includes fresh air entering the atomization chamber 40 through the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 of the oil cup base 7. The rear section of the airflow 100f includes the aerosol generated by the heating assembly 5. Fresh air enters the atomization chamber 40 through the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 and the guide groove 72, and the aerosol generated by the heating assembly 5 is discharged from the mouthpiece hole 1h along the aerosol channel 100c.

[0112] The airflow is heated by the heating assembly 5 in the atomizing chamber 40 to produce a temperature change, and the volatile material is atomized into the airflow at the same time.

[0113] When the airflow flows to the connecting tube 4t1, since the inner diameter of the connecting tube 4t1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the atomizing chamber 40, the airflow will begin to accelerate and the temperature will drop. After the airflow enters the atomizing chamber 40, it is heated by the heating component 5 to generate a temperature rise Tr. In some embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 200°C to 220°C. In some embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 240°C to 260°C. In some embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 260°C to 280°C. In some embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 280°C to 300°C. In some embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 300°C to 320°C. In some embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 200°C to 320°C.

[0114] The airflow flowing out of the atomization chamber 40 may produce a temperature drop Tf before reaching the mouthpiece hole 1h. In some embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 145°C to 165°C. In some embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 165°C to 185°C. In some embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 205°C to 225°C. In some embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 225°C to 245°C. In some embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 245°C to 265°C. In some embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 145°C to 265°C.

[0115] In some embodiments, the aerosol passage 100c may have a non-uniform inner diameter. The inner diameter of the airflow passage 100t gradually increases from near the heating assembly 5 toward the mouthpiece hole 1h. The larger inner diameter near the mouthpiece hole 1h can increase the volume of the aerosol.

[0116] By adjusting the inner wall width of the atomizing chamber 40 and the inner diameter width of the aerosol passage 100c, the temperature of the aerosol inhaled by the user from the mouthpiece hole 1h can be controlled. By adjusting the inner wall width of the atomizing chamber 40 and the inner diameter width of the airflow passage 100t, the volume of the aerosol inhaled by the user from the mouthpiece hole 1h can be controlled.

[0117] Controlling the temperature of the mist can prevent users from being burned by the mist. Controlling the volume of the mist can improve the user's inhalation experience.

[0118] In some embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece hole 1h may have a temperature below 65°C. In some embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece hole 1h may have a temperature below 55°C.

[0121] In some embodiments, the light-emitting activation signal is a signal of intensity varying with time, so that the light-emitting component 153 emits light of intensity varying with time. In some embodiments, the intensity of the light-emitting activation signal gradually increases with time, and the intensity of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 153 gradually increases with time.

In some embodiments, the preset time is in the range of 1 second to 3 seconds. In some embodiments, the preset time can be 2 seconds.

[0122] In some embodiments, after the sensor 13 detects the inhalation action, if the user stops the inhalation action, the sensor 13 stops transmitting the sensing signal. The controller 151 can generate a light-emitting activation signal, and transmit the light-emitting activation signal from the controller 151 to the light-emitting component 153, and the light-emitting component 153 emits light based on the light-emitting activation signal. In some embodiments, the light-emitting diode of the light-emitting component 153.
