Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application 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, the demand for tobacco alternatives continues to grow. Electronic cigarette devices may be a tobacco substitute. They use electronic aerosol generators or atomizers to atomize vaporizable materials (e.g., tobacco oil) to produce an aerosol for the user to inhale, thereby simulating the sensory experience of smoking. Compared to traditional tobacco products, electronic cigarette devices as alternatives can effectively reduce the harmful substances produced by combustion, thereby reducing the harmful side effects of smoking.

[0003] Existing e-cigarette products do not take into account the pressure balance of the oil storage chamber. In existing e-cigarette products, the oil storage chamber is generally designed to be completely sealed to prevent the overflow of the vaporizable solution. During the transportation of manufactured e-cigarette products, the pressure in the oil storage chamber may increase due to changes in temperature or air pressure. The increase in pressure in the oil storage chamber will cause a large amount of tobacco oil to flow into the aerosol generating component and may cause tobacco oil leakage in the e-cigarette product. In addition, as users continue to use e-cigarette products, the vaporizable 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 vaporizable solution in the oil storage chamber to flow evenly to the aerosol generating component, resulting in uneven adsorption of the vaporizable solution by the aerosol generating component. At this time, when the temperature of the aerosol generating component rises, there is a high probability of burning without heating and producing a burnt smell, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Therefore, the present disclosure proposes an atomization device that can solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0084] Figure 3D Schematic diagram illustrating an upper cover according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0085] like Figure 3D As shown, both sides of the upper cover 3 may have a plurality of grooves.

[0086] The following paragraphs describe the grooves on the right side of the upper cover 3. The left side of the upper cover 3 may be provided with a plurality of grooves that are symmetrical with the right side. In some embodiments, the left side of the upper cover 3 may be provided with a plurality of grooves that are asymmetrical with the right side.

[0087] Grooves 3hr1, 3hr2, 3hr3 and 3hr4 are arranged in a horizontal direction (e.g. Figure 3D The grooves 3vr1, 3vr2, 3vr3 and 3vr4 extend in the vertical direction (as shown in the x-axis direction). Figure 3D The y-axis direction is shown).

[0088] In some embodiments, the extending directions of the grooves 3hr1, 3hr2, 3hr3 and 3hr4 are substantially perpendicular to the extending directions of the grooves 3vr1, 3vr2, 3vr3 and 3vr4. The grooves 3vr1 and 3hr1 are connected to each other. The grooves 3hr1 and 3hr2 can be connected via the grooves 3vr2. Figure 3D Not shown, the groove 3hr2 and the groove 3hr3 can be connected via a groove extending in the vertical direction on the back of the upper cover 3. The groove 3hr3 and the groove 3hr4 can be connected via the groove 3vr3. The groove 3hr4 and the groove 3vr4 are connected to each other.

[0089] Grooves 3hr1, 3hr2, 3hr3 and 3hr4 extend from the front side of the upper cover 3 to the back side of the upper cover 3 (see Figure 5A and 5C Grooves 3hr1, 3hr2, 3hr3, and 3hr4 can have the same length. Gas can flow through groove 3vr4 at the bottom of upper cover 3, then along groove 3hr4, groove 3vr3, groove 3hr3, the vertical grooves on the back of upper cover 3, groove 3hr2, groove 3vr2, and groove 3hr1, to reach groove 3vr1 at the top of upper cover 3.

[0090] In some embodiments, one side of the upper cover 3 may include fewer slots. For example, the right side of the upper cover 3 may include only two slots extending along the x-axis. The number of slots extending along the y-axis can be adjusted accordingly. In some embodiments, one side of the upper cover 3 may include more slots. For example, the right side of the upper cover 3 may include five slots extending along the x-axis. The number of slots extending along the y-axis can be adjusted accordingly.

[0091] The upper cover 3 has protrusions 3p1, 3p2, 3p3, and 3p4. The protrusions 3p1 and 3p2 are separated by a gap 3g. When the upper cover 3 and the cigarette cartridge housing 1 are coupled together, the protrusions 3p1 and 3p2 can contact the inner surface of the cigarette cartridge housing 1. The protrusions 3p1 and 3p2 can maintain a predetermined distance between the upper cover 3 and the cigarette cartridge housing 1. The protrusions 3p1 and 3p2 can help the upper cover 3 be more stably positioned within the cigarette cartridge housing 1.

[0092] A groove 3pg is formed between the protrusions 3p1 and 3p3. A space is formed between the groove 3pg and the cartridge housing 1. This space forms part of the airflow channel. The upper cover 3 also has a cavity 3c. Cavity 3c communicates with opening 3h1. Cavity 3c communicates with groove 3pg. Aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 can reach cavity 3c via groove 3pg and then enter tube 1t via opening 3h1.

[0093] like Figure 3D As shown, the groove 3vr1 is provided on one side of the upper cover 3, and the groove 3vr5 can be symmetrically provided on the other side of the upper cover 3. The groove 3vr5 can be connected to the plurality of grooves provided on the left side of the upper cover 3.

[0094] When the upper cover sealing assembly 2 and the upper cover 3 are combined with each other, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may cover the grooves 3vr1 , 3vr2 , 3vr3 , 3vr5 , 3hr1 , 3hr2 , 3hr3 , and 3hr4 .

[0095] When the upper cover sealing assembly 2 and the upper cover 3 are combined with each other, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may cover a portion of the groove 3vr4. When the upper cover sealing assembly 2 and the upper cover 3 are combined with each other, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may expose a portion of the groove 3vr4.

[0096] Figure 3E Schematic diagram illustrating the upper cover according to some embodiments of the present application. The upper cover 3 includes openings 3h1, 3h2 and 3h3. Opening 3h1 can serve as part of the aerosol channel. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating component 5 can reach the tube 1t in the cigarette cartridge housing 1 via the opening 3h1. Openings 3h2 and 3h3 can serve as part of the smoke oil channel. The smoke oil stored in the cigarette cartridge 100A can flow to the aerosol generating component 5 via the openings 3h2 and 3h3. The smoke oil stored in the cigarette cartridge 100A can contact the aerosol generating component 5 via the openings 3h2 and 3h3. The opening 3h1 and the opening 3h2 are isolated from each other, and the smoke oil flowing in the opening 3h2 will not directly enter the aerosol channel. The opening 3h1 and the opening 3h3 are isolated from each other, and the smoke oil flowing in the opening 3h3 will not directly enter the aerosol channel.

[0097] Figure 3F Schematic diagram illustrating an aerosol-generating assembly according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0098] The aerosol generating assembly 5 comprises conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2. The conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 each comprise a plurality of segments. Figure 3F As shown, the conductive pin 5p2 may include a segment 5b1, a segment 5b2, and a segment 5b3. Segments 5b1 and 5b3 extend in the same direction. Segment 5b2 is connected between segments 5b1 and 5b3. The extension direction of segment 5b2 is substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of segments 5b1 and 5b3.

[0099] The shape of the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 offers numerous advantages. During the assembly process of the cigarette cartridge 100A, the design of the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 facilitates contact between the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 and the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2. This design reduces the chance of poor contact between the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 and the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2. Furthermore, the design of the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 reduces the number of assembly steps required for the cigarette cartridge 100A.

[0100] Although Figure 3F (Not shown in the figure, the aerosol-generating assembly 5 may include a heating circuit disposed on the bottom surface 5s1. The heating circuit disposed on the bottom surface 5s1 is electrically connected to the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2.) The atomizing device 100 can increase the temperature of the aerosol-generating assembly 5 by providing power to the heating circuit on the bottom surface 5s1.

In some embodiments, the plurality of openings 61h are arranged in a matrix. In some embodiments, the plurality of openings 61h are arranged equidistantly from one another. The openings 61h may have the same pore size. In some embodiments, the openings 61h may have different pore sizes. The pore size of the openings 61h is adjusted to prevent liquid from leaking from the upper surface 61s1 to the lower surface 61s2. The arrangement of the openings 61h is adjusted to prevent liquid from leaking from the upper surface 61s1 to the lower surface 61s2. The distances between the plurality of openings 61h are adjusted to prevent liquid from leaking from the upper surface 61s1 to the lower surface 61s2.

In some embodiments, the aperture size of the opening 61h is in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. In some embodiments, the aperture size of the opening 61h is in the range of 0.15 mm to 0.35 mm. In some embodiments, the aperture size of the opening 61h is in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.4 mm. In some embodiments, the aperture size of the opening 61h is in the range of 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0106] like Figure 3H As shown, bracket 61 can be placed in opening 71h1 of middle cover 71. Opening 71h1 has a length 71L and a width 71W. The length 71L of opening 71h1 is slightly smaller than the length 61L of bracket 61. The width 71W of opening 71h1 is slightly smaller than the width 61W of bracket 61. Therefore, when bracket 61 is installed in opening 71h1, no additional components are required to secure bracket 61 to middle cover 71.

[0107] When bracket 61 is placed in middle cover 71, upper surface 61s1 of bracket 61 is not coplanar with surface 71s. When bracket 61 is placed in middle cover 71, lower surface 61s2 of bracket 61 is not coplanar with surface 71s.

[0109] The lower cover 9 may include upright walls 9w1 and 9w2. The upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 are disposed on both sides of the lower cover 9. The upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 may have a plurality of grooves. The upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 may have a plurality of grooves along the horizontal direction (such as Figure 3I The vertical walls 9w1 and 9w2 may have a plurality of grooves extending in the vertical direction (such as the x-axis direction). Figure 3I A groove extending in the y-axis direction as shown.

[0110] The plurality of grooves on the upright wall 9w1 may have the same configuration as the plurality of grooves on the upright wall 9w2. In some embodiments, the plurality of grooves on the upright wall 9w1 may have a different configuration than the plurality of grooves on the upright wall 9w2.

[0111] like Figure 3I As shown in FIG, the upright wall 9w2 may include grooves 9vr1, 9vr2, 9vr3, 9vr4, 9vr5, 9vr6, and 9vr7. Grooves 9vr1, 9vr2, 9vr3, 9vr4, 9vr5, 9vr6, and 9vr7 extend in the vertical direction. The upright wall 9w2 may include grooves 9hr1, 9hr2, 9hr3, 9hr4, 9hr5, 9hr6, and 9hr7. Grooves 9hr1, 9hr2, 9hr3, 9hr4, 9hr5, 9hr6, and 9hr7 extend in the horizontal direction.

[0112] Grooves 9hr1, 9hr2, 9hr3, 9hr4, 9hr5, 9hr6, and 9hr7 may have different lengths. In certain embodiments, grooves 9hr1, 9hr4, and 9hr5 may have the same length. In certain embodiments, grooves 9hr2, 9hr3, and 9hr6 may have the same length. In certain embodiments, the lengths of grooves 9hr1, 9hr4, and 9hr5 are different from the lengths of grooves 9hr2, 9hr3, and 9hr6. In certain embodiments, the lengths of grooves 9hr1, 9hr4, and 9hr5 are greater than the lengths of grooves 9hr2, 9hr3, and 9hr6. In certain embodiments, the length of groove 9hr7 is greater than the lengths of grooves 9hr1, 9hr2, 9hr3, 9hr4, 9hr5, and 9hr6.

[0113] The lengths of grooves 9vr1, 9vr2, 9vr3, 9vr4, 9vr5, 9vr6, and 9vr7 may be different from the lengths of grooves 9hr1, 9hr2, 9hr3, 9hr4, 9hr5, 9hr6, and 9hr7. In some embodiments, the length of 9hr2 is different from the length of 9vr2.

[0114] Tank 9vr1 and tank 9hr7 can communicate via multiple tanks disposed therebetween. Liquid can flow from tank 9vr1 to tank 9hr7. Liquid can flow from tank 9hr7 to tank 9vr1.

[0115] Figure 3J A schematic cross-sectional view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated. Figure 3K A schematic cross-sectional view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated.

[0116] The storage compartment 30 is defined between the cartridge housing 1, the tube 1t, and the upper cover sealing assembly 2. The storage compartment 30 can store tobacco liquid. A portion of the tube 1t extends into the opening 3h1 of the upper cover 3. The tube 1t and the opening 3h1 form part of the aerosol passage. The storage compartment 30 is isolated from the opening 3h1 by the tube 1t. The storage compartment 30 communicates with openings 3h2 and 3h3 of the upper cover 3. The tobacco liquid stored in the storage compartment 30 can reach the recess 5c of the aerosol generating assembly 5 through openings 3h2 and 3h3.

[0117] like Figure 3K As shown, the aerosol generating assembly 5 and the middle cover 71 define an atomizing chamber 7c. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 after heating the e-liquid is first generated in the atomizing chamber 7c, and then passes through the groove 3pg and cavity 3c of the upper cover 3 (see Figure 3D ) enters tube 1t.

[0118] like Figure 3J As shown, the conductive pin 5p1 of the aerosol-generating assembly 5 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p1. The conductive pin 5p2 of the aerosol-generating assembly 5 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p2. The conductive pin 5p2 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p2 via the section 5b1. The conductive pin 5p1 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p1 in the same manner.

[0119] The bracket 61 is positioned between the middle cover 71 and the lower cover 9. The bracket 61 is secured between the middle cover 71 and the lower cover 9. The bracket 61 can directly contact the middle cover 71 and the lower cover 9. The bracket 61 is positioned within the opening 71h1 of the middle cover 71. The structural design of the middle cover 71 and the lower cover 9 allows the bracket 61 to be secured between the two covers without the need for additional components. The structural design of the middle cover 71, bracket 61, and the lower cover 9 reduces the difficulty of assembling the cartridge 100A. This structural design of the middle cover 71, bracket 61, and the lower cover 9 reduces the number of components within the cartridge 100A.

[0120] Bracket 61 is disposed between conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 of aerosol-generating assembly 5. Bracket 61 is disposed above openings 9h1 and 9h2 of lower cover 9. Opening 9h1 extends along axis 9x1. Opening 9h2 extends along axis 9x2. Opening 9h1 extends through bracket 61. Opening 9h2 extends through bracket 61.

[0121] If the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 is not completely inhaled by the user, it may condense into liquid within the atomization chamber 7c. Without the bracket 61, the liquid within the atomization chamber 7c may leak out of the cartridge 100A through the openings 9h1 or 9h2 of the lower cover 9. The leaked liquid may damage the electronic components within the main body 100B. The leaked liquid may also contaminate the user's other valuables while carrying the atomization device 100, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0122] Bracket 61 effectively reduces the chance of condensed liquid in atomizing chamber 7c leaking through openings 9h1 or 9h2 of lower cover 9. Bracket 61 effectively prevents condensed liquid in atomizing chamber 7c from leaking through openings 9h1 or 9h2 of lower cover 9. Bracket 61 reduces the risk of condensed liquid leakage and causing malfunction of atomizing device 100. Bracket 61 also increases the service life of atomizing device 100.

[0123] like Figure 3J As shown, the lower cover 9 may include a groove 9r2. If a small amount of liquid still passes through the opening 61h on the bracket 61 during prolonged use of the atomizer device, the groove 9r2 can accommodate the liquid, reducing the chance of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A. Although not shown, a liquid absorption assembly can be positioned within the groove 9r2. If a small amount of liquid still passes through the opening 61h on the bracket 61 during prolonged use of the atomizer device, the liquid absorption assembly positioned within the groove 9r2 can absorb the liquid, reducing the chance of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

[0124] Figure 3L and 3M A schematic three-dimensional cross-sectional view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated.

[0125] The bracket 61 is disposed in the opening 71h1 of the middle cover 71. The bracket 61 is disposed between the aerosol generating assembly 5 and the lower cover 9. The bracket 61 is disposed between the aerosol generating assembly 5 and the opening 9h1 of the lower cover 9.

[0126] Figure 4A 、 4B 4C illustrates a schematic diagram of an exploded view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0127] like Figure 4A 、 4BAs shown in FIG4C , the cigarette cartridge 100A may include a cigarette cartridge housing 1 , an upper cover sealing member 2 , an upper cover 3 , a sealing member 4 , an aerosol generating member 5 , a tubular member 62 , a middle cover 72 , a sealing ring 8 and a lower cover 9 .

[0129] like Figure 4B As shown, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may have multiple openings. The upper cover 3 may also have multiple openings. In some embodiments, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may have an opening 2h1, an opening 2h2, and an opening 2h3. In some embodiments, the upper cover 3 may have an opening 3h1, an opening 3h2, and an opening 3h3. Openings 2h1, 2h2, and 2h3 correspond to openings 3h1, 3h2, and 3h3, respectively. Openings 2h1, 2h2, and 2h3 expose openings 3h1, 3h2, and 3h3, respectively.

[0130] In some embodiments, the number of openings in the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may be the same as the number of openings in the upper cover 3. In some embodiments, the number of openings in the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may be different from the number of openings in the upper cover 3. In some embodiments, the number of openings in the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may be less than the number of openings in the upper cover 3. In some embodiments, the number of openings in the upper cover sealing assembly 2 may be greater than the number of openings in the upper cover 3.

[0131] When some or all components of the cigarette cartridge 100A are combined with each other, the upper cover sealing component 2 may cover a portion of the upper cover 3. The upper cover sealing component 2 may surround a portion of the upper cover 3. The upper cover sealing component 2 may expose a portion of the upper cover 3.

[0132] 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.

[0133] When some or all components of the cartridge 100A are combined with each other, the sealing component 4 may cover a portion of the aerosol generating component 5. The sealing component 4 may surround a portion of the aerosol generating component 5. The sealing component 4 may expose a portion of the aerosol generating component 5.

[0134] In some embodiments, the sealing component 4 may be elastic. In some embodiments, the sealing component 4 may be flexible. In some embodiments, the sealing component 4 may comprise silicone. In some embodiments, the sealing component 4 may be made of silicone. The sealing component 4 may be resistant to high temperatures. In some embodiments, the sealing component 4 may have a melting point greater than 350 degrees Celsius.

[0135] like Figure 4B As shown, the sealing component 4 has an opening 4h, and the aerosol generating component 5 has a groove 5c. When the sealing component 4 and the aerosol generating component 5 are combined with each other, the opening 4h can expose at least a portion of the groove 5c.

[0136] The tubular component 62 may have a cylindrical shape. The tubular component 62 may have a hollow cylindrical shape. The tubular component 62 may have a tubular shape.

[0137] In some embodiments, the tubular component 62 may have a circular cross-section. In some embodiments, the tubular component 62 may have an elliptical cross-section. In some embodiments, the tubular component 62 may have a triangular cross-section. In some embodiments, the tubular component 62 may have a polygonal cross-section. In some embodiments, the tubular component 62 may have other suitable cross-sectional profiles.

[0138] The tubular component 62 may comprise a plastic material. The tubular component 62 may be made of a plastic material. The tubular component 62 may comprise a metal material. The tubular component 62 may be made of a metal material. In certain embodiments, the tubular component 62 may comprise stainless steel.

[0139] The middle cover 72 may include an opening 72h1. The tubular component 62 may be disposed on the middle cover 72. The tubular component 62 may be disposed on the opening 72h1 of the middle cover 72. A portion of the tubular component 62 may extend into the opening 72h1. The tubular component 62 may cover the opening 72h1.

[0140] The lower cover 9 may include upright walls 9w1 and 9w2. The upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 are disposed on opposite sides of the lower cover 9. The bottom of the lower cover 9 includes a groove 9r1. The sealing ring 8 may be disposed in the groove 9r1 at the bottom of the lower cover 9. The lower cover 9 may include openings 9h1, 9h2, 9h3, and 9h4. The openings 9h1 and 9h2 are connected to the atomization chamber inside the cartridge 100A. Air may enter the interior of the cartridge 100A through the openings 9h1 and 9h2. The conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 may pass through the openings 9h3 and 9h4, respectively, and be fixed to the lower cover 9. The conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 pass through the openings 9h3 and 9h4 and extend into the interior of the cartridge 100A.

[0141] like Figures 4A to 4CAs demonstrated, in certain embodiments, the atomizing device 100 may include a first protective plug 1a and a second protective plug 9b. The first protective plug 1a is detachably mounted and extends into the opening 1h. The second protective plug 9b is detachably mounted and extends into the openings 9h1 and 9h2 of the lower cover 9. In this manner, the first protective plug 1a and the second protective plug 9b can prevent foreign matter from entering the opening 1h and the openings 9h1 and 9h2.

[0142] Before a user starts to use the atomizing device 100 , the user must first remove the first protective plug 1 a and the second protective plug 9 b before using the atomizing device 100 .

[0143] Figure 4D A schematic cross-sectional view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated. Figure 4E A schematic cross-sectional view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated.

[0144] The storage compartment 30 is defined between the cartridge housing 1, the tube 1t, and the upper cover sealing assembly 2. The storage compartment 30 can store tobacco liquid. A portion of the tube 1t extends into the opening 3h1 of the upper cover 3. The tube 1t and the opening 3h1 form part of the aerosol passage. The storage compartment 30 is isolated from the opening 3h1 by the tube 1t. The storage compartment 30 communicates with openings 3h2 and 3h3 of the upper cover 3. The tobacco liquid stored in the storage compartment 30 can reach the recess 5c of the aerosol generating assembly 5 through openings 3h2 and 3h3.

[0145] like Figure 4D As shown, the aerosol generating assembly 5 and the middle cover 72 define an atomizing chamber 7c. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 after heating the e-liquid is first generated in the atomizing chamber 7c, and then passes through the groove 3pg and the cavity 3c of the upper cover 3 (see FIG. Figure 3D ) enters tube 1t.

[0146] The tubular component 62 is disposed between the middle cover 72 and the lower cover 9. The tubular component 62 can directly contact the middle cover 72 and the lower cover 9. The tubular component 62 is disposed in the opening 72h1 of the middle cover 72.

[0147] Opening 62h of tubular component 62 extends along axis 6x1. Opening 9h1 of lower cover 9 extends along axis 9x1. Opening 9h2 extends along axis 9x2. Axes 6x1 and 9x1 do not overlap. Axes 6x1 and 9x2 do not overlap. The extending direction of opening 62h does not overlap with the extending direction of opening 9h1. The extending direction of opening 62h does not intersect with the extending direction of opening 9h1. The extending direction of opening 62h does not overlap with the extending direction of opening 9h2. The extending direction of opening 62h does not intersect with the extending direction of opening 9h2.

[0148] like Figure 4DAs shown, the lower cover 9 may include a groove 9r2. The groove 9r2 communicates with the tubular component 62. The groove 9r2 communicates with the opening 62h of the tubular component 62. The groove 9r2 is isolated from the opening 9h1 of the lower cover 9 by the tubular component 62. The groove 9r2 is isolated from the opening 9h2 of the lower cover 9 by the tubular component 62.

[0149] If the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 is not completely inhaled by the user, it may condense into liquid in the atomizing chamber 7c. The condensed liquid in the atomizing chamber 7c can reach the groove 9r2 through the tubular assembly 62 and be stored in the groove 9r2.

[0150] The arrangement of the tubular assembly 62 and the groove 9r2 prevents condensed liquid within the atomization chamber 7c from leaking through the openings 9h1 or 9h2 of the lower cover 9. This arrangement of the tubular assembly 62 and the groove 9r2 reduces the probability of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A. Although not shown, a liquid wicking assembly can be positioned within the groove 9r2 to further reduce the probability of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

[0151] Figure 4F and 4G A schematic three-dimensional cross-sectional view of a cigarette cartridge according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated.

[0152] like Figure 4G As shown, the tubular assembly 62 may include a first portion 62a and a second portion 62b. The first portion 62a has a wider outer diameter than the second portion 62b. The second portion 62b can pass through the opening 72h1 of the middle cover 72. The outer diameter of the first portion 62a is larger than the inner diameter of the opening 72h1. The tubular assembly 62 is secured to the middle cover 72 via the first portion 62a, preventing it from falling off the middle cover 72 due to vibration during use.

[0153] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the second portion 62b is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the opening 72h1. When the second portion 62b of the tubular component 62 passes through the opening 72h1, it forms an interference fit with the inner diameter of the opening 72h1. Therefore, the tubular component 62 and the middle cover 72 can be secured to each other without adhesive.

[0154] Figure 5A A schematic diagram illustrating the front assembly of an upper cover and a lower cover according to some embodiments of the present application is provided. Figure 5B A schematic diagram illustrating the right side assembly of the upper cover and the lower cover according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0155] like Figure 5AAs shown, the upper cover 3 has a plurality of grooves on the right side relative to the opening 3h1 and a plurality of grooves on the left side relative to the opening 3h1. The plurality of grooves on the right side of the upper cover 3 are interconnected to form a channel. The plurality of grooves on the left side of the upper cover 3 are interconnected to form a channel. The atomization chamber 7c can be in fluid communication with the grooves 3hr1, 3hr2, 3hr3, and 3hr4. The atomization chamber 7c can be in fluid communication with the grooves 3vr1, 3vr2, 3vr3, and 3vr4.

[0156] The fluid in the storage chamber 30 can follow the path 3f1 and enter the atomizing chamber 7c through the plurality of grooves on the upper cover 3. The fluid in the atomizing chamber 7c can follow the path 3f1 and enter the storage chamber 30 through the plurality of grooves on the upper cover 3. The fluid referred to here can be liquid or gas.

[0157] After the cigarette cartridge 100A is assembled, the pressure within the storage chamber 30 may fluctuate due to temperature or external environmental factors. If the pressure within the storage chamber 30 is too high, excessive liquid may enter the aerosol generating assembly 5 through the openings 3h2 and 3h3 of the upper cover 3. If the volume of liquid reaching the aerosol generating assembly 5 exceeds the upper limit of the aerosol generating assembly 5's capacity, the liquid in the storage chamber 30 may easily permeate the aerosol generating assembly 5 and drip into the atomization chamber 7c. Excessive liquid in the atomization chamber 7c increases the probability of liquid leakage from the cigarette cartridge 100A.

[0158] Furthermore, during continued use of the atomizer device 100, the amount of e-liquid in the storage compartment 30 continues to decrease, potentially creating a negative pressure within the storage compartment 30. This negative pressure within the storage compartment 30 can make it difficult for e-liquid to reach the aerosol generating assembly 5 through the openings 3h2 and 3h3 of the upper cover 3. If the aerosol generating assembly 5 does not absorb enough e-liquid, the high-temperature aerosol generating assembly 5 may produce a burning odor, creating a negative user experience and shortening the service life of the aerosol generating assembly 5.

[0159] This problem can be solved by providing a plurality of grooves in the upper cover 3. When the pressure in the storage chamber 30 is too high, the gas in the storage chamber 30 can flow through the grooves to the atomizing chamber 7c, thereby reducing the pressure in the storage chamber 30. When the pressure in the storage chamber 30 is too low, the gas in the atomizing chamber 7c can flow through the grooves to the storage chamber 30, thereby increasing the pressure in the storage chamber 30.

[0160] The multiple grooves provided on the upper cover 3 also offer numerous other advantages. For example, because the paths between the grooves are tortuous, liquid entering the grooves from the storage compartment 30 is retained within the grooves and does not directly enter the atomization chamber 7c. The multiple grooves provided on the upper cover 3 reduce the volume of liquid entering the atomization chamber 7c and minimize the chance of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

[0161] The lower cover 9 includes a plurality of grooves on the right side relative to the atomizing chamber 7c. The lower cover 9 also includes a plurality of grooves on the left side relative to the atomizing chamber 7c. The plurality of grooves provided on the upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 of the lower cover 9 can serve as fluid passages. The plurality of grooves provided on the upright wall 9w1 are interconnected. The plurality of grooves provided on the upright wall 9w2 are interconnected.

[0162] like Figure 5A As shown, the fluid can follow the 9f1 path from the atomization chamber 7c via the groove on the upright wall 9w2 to the groove 3vr4 on the upper cover 3. The fluid can follow the 9f1 path from the groove 3vr4 on the upper cover 3 to the atomization chamber 7c via the groove on the upright wall 9w2.

[0163] like Figure 5B As shown, the fluid in the storage chamber 30 can follow the 3f2 path through the multiple grooves on the upper cover 3 to enter the atomizing chamber 7c. The fluid in the atomizing chamber 7c can follow the 3f2 path through the multiple grooves on the upper cover 3 to enter the storage chamber 30. The fluid can follow the 9f2 path from the atomizing chamber 7c through the groove on the upright wall 9w2 to the groove 3vr4 on the upper cover 3. The fluid can follow the 9f2 path from the groove 3vr4 on the upper cover 3 to the atomizing chamber 7c through the groove on the upright wall 9w2.

[0164] The multiple grooves formed on the upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 of the lower cover 9 also offer numerous other advantages. For example, because the paths between these grooves are tortuous, e-liquid entering these grooves from the storage compartment 30 is retained within these recesses and does not directly enter the atomization chamber 7c. The multiple grooves formed on the upright walls 9w1 and 9w2 of the lower cover 9 reduce the volume of e-liquid entering the atomization chamber 7c and minimize the likelihood of e-liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

[0165] See Figure 5A and Figure 4D After the cigarette cartridge 100A is assembled, the upper cover sealing assembly 2 covers the upper cover 3. Gas within the atomization chamber 7c can follow path 3f2 to the junction of opening 3h3 of the upper cover 3 and opening 2h3 of the upper cover sealing assembly 2. Gas reaching opening 2h3 of the upper cover sealing assembly 2 along path 3f2 can cause local deformation of the upper cover sealing assembly 2. Gas reaching opening 2h3 of the upper cover sealing assembly 2 along path 3f2 can create a gap between the upper cover sealing assembly 2 and the upper cover 3, allowing gas to enter the storage compartment 30 through opening 2h3.

[0166] Figure 5C A schematic diagram illustrating the back assembly of the upper cover and the lower cover according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 5D A schematic diagram illustrating the left side combination of the upper cover and the lower cover according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0167] The back of the upper cover 3 has grooves 3vr6 and 3vr7 extending in the vertical direction. Groove 3vr6 connects grooves 3hr2 and 3hr3. Groove 3vr7 is connected to groove 3hr4. Figure 5A and 5C It can be seen that there may be different numbers of vertical slots on the front and back of the upper cover 3. In some embodiments, the number of vertical slots provided on the front of the upper cover 3 is greater.

[0169] In some embodiments, the main body 100B can supply power to the cigarette cartridge 100A. The main body 100B may include a conductive component 11, a magnetic component 12, a sensor 13, a sealing assembly 13a, a light guide 14, a main circuit board 15, a vibrator 17, magnetic guides 18a and 18b, a charging guide 19, a power supply component 20, a power supply component bracket 21, a main housing 22, a charging circuit board 23, an adjustment circuit 24, and a port 25.

[0170] 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. The surface of the main housing 22 has a light-transmitting component 221. Multiple 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 atomization device 100. For example, the material of the main housing 22 can be aluminum to reduce the overall weight.

[0171] The power supply assembly bracket 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212, which are opposite each other. At the first end 212 (or top), the power supply assembly bracket 21 has conductive slots 21c1 and 21c2 and a slot portion 21g. Slot portion 21g is formed between the conductive slots 21c1 and 21c2 and faces the openings 9h1 and 9h2 of the lower cover 9. The conductive slots 21c1 and 21c2 correspond to the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 provided on the lower cover 9.

[0172] Figure 7 A cross-sectional schematic diagram illustrating that an atomizing device according to some embodiments of the present application is disposed on a side of a receiving device.

[0173] like Figure 7As shown, the atomizing device 100 can be housed in a housing device 200. For example, the housing device 200 can have a housing 210 for housing the atomizing device 100. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the housing device 200 can be used for charging the atomizing device 100. In some embodiments, the housing device 200 can include a magnetic component 220 disposed below one end of the housing 210.

[0174] In certain embodiments, a normal line L3 extending from the top surface 222 of the magnetic assembly 220 does not pass through the magnetic guides 18a and 18b of the atomizer device 100, while a tangent line L4 adjacent to the top surface 222 of the magnetic assembly 220 and adjacent to the side edge 224 of the atomizer device 100 passes through the magnetic guides 18a and 18b corresponding to the main body 100B of the atomizer device 100. In other words, the magnetic guides 18a and 18b are closer to the central region of the accommodating device 200 than the magnetic assembly 220. For example, when the top surface 222 of the magnetic assembly 220 is a north pole, the end surface 18c of the magnetic guide 18a facing outward from the atomizer device 100 (opposite to the direction of the cigarette cartridge 100A) is a south pole, and the end surface 18d of the magnetic guide 18b facing outward from the atomizer device 100 (opposite to the direction of the cigarette cartridge 100A) is a north pole. Because the top surface 222 of the magnetic assembly 220 and the closer of the magnetic guides 18a and 18b attract each other, the atomizer 100 can be correctly positioned in the designated location of the accommodating device 200. Because the top surface 222 of the magnetic assembly 220 and the farther-away magnetic guide 18b of the magnetic guide 18a and 18b repel each other, this prevents the magnetic guide 18a from causing the opposite side of the atomizer 100 (i.e., the end edge of the mouthpiece cover 1 of the cigarette cartridge 100A) to tilt or flip open due to excessive magnetic attraction. Therefore, the magnetic guide 18b stabilizes the atomizer 100 within the accommodating device 200.

[0175] In some embodiments, if the charging box or charging base corresponding to the atomizing device 100 does not have a relative polarity (electrical polarity), the adjustment circuit 24 (see Figure 6) is configured to adjust the current from the charging conductor 19 to complete charging. Therefore, regardless of whether the atomizer device 100 is inserted into the charging box or charging base 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 configuration of the switch circuit module of the adjustment circuit 24 can make the first circuit output point T1 (not shown in the figure) positive and the second circuit output point T2 (not shown in the figure) negative. In the second scenario, when the power input point P1 receives a negative power source and the power input point P2 receives a positive power source, the switch circuit modules of the adjustment circuit 24 are configured to adjust the first circuit output point T1 to a positive polarity and the second circuit output point T2 to a negative polarity. Therefore, regardless of 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, thereby providing power to downstream circuits, such as the power supply assembly 20 and / or the main circuit board 15.

[0176] Figure 8A A three-dimensional schematic diagram illustrating an upper cover according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 8A The upper cover 31 is shown in FIG. The upper cover 31 and Figures 3A to 3E The upper cover 3 shown in FIG can be components compatible with each other. The cigarette cartridge 100A can select the upper cover 31 or the upper cover 3 as its component without affecting the functional integrity of the cigarette cartridge 100A.

[0177] The upper cover 31 includes a surface 31s1 and a surface 31s2 opposite to surface 31s1. In certain embodiments, surface 31s1 and surface 31s2 may be parallel to each other. The upper cover 31 includes an opening 31h1. Opening 31h1 can serve as an aerosol passage. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 can enter the tube 1t of the cartridge housing 1 through opening 31h1 and then be inhaled by the user through opening 1h of the cartridge housing 1.

[0178] Upper cover 31 includes a groove 31r1 connecting surface 31s1 and surface 31s2. Groove 31r1 may be perpendicular to surface 31s1. Groove 31r1 may be perpendicular to surface 31s2. Groove 31r1 may include portion 31a, portion 31b, and portion 31c. Portions 31a, 31b, and 31c may be interconnected. Portions 31a, 31b, and 31c may extend in the same direction.

[0179] The surface 31s1 and the surface 31s2 of the upper cover 31 may communicate with each other via a vertical groove (ie, the groove 31r1).

[0180] The upper cover 31 includes a recess 31r2 located on one side of the opening 31h1. Recess 31r2 may include a portion 31d, a portion 31e, and a portion 31f. Portions 31d, 31e, and 31f may be interconnected. Portion 31d may extend parallel to portion 31f. Portion 31e may have an arcuate shape. Portion 31e may have a circular shape. Portion 31e may have an elliptical shape. Portion 31e may also be referred to as a patterned portion in this disclosure.

[0181] The groove 31r2 can be connected to the surface 31s1 via the portion 31a of the groove 31r1. The groove 31r2 can be connected to the surface 31s2 via the portion 31c of the groove 31r1. The surfaces 31s1 and 31s2 of the upper cover 31 can be connected to each other via a non-perpendicular groove (composed of the groove 31r2, the portion 31a of the groove 31r1, and the portion 31c of the groove 31r1).

[0182] The groove 31r1 provided on the upper cover 31 can balance the pressure in the storage chamber 30 and the outside world. During the continued use of the atomizer device 100, the e-liquid in the storage chamber 30 continues to decrease, which may generate negative pressure in the storage chamber 30. The groove 31r1 provided on the upper cover 31 can solve this problem. When the pressure in the storage chamber 30 is too high, the gas in the storage chamber 30 can reach the atomization chamber 7c through the groove 31r1 provided on the upper cover 31, thereby reducing the pressure in the storage chamber 30. When the pressure in the storage chamber 30 is too low, the gas in the atomization chamber 7c can reach the storage chamber 30 through the groove 31r1 provided on the upper cover 31, thereby increasing the pressure in the storage chamber 30.

[0183] The groove 31r2 provided on the upper cover 31 also offers numerous advantages. For example, because the paths between the various sections of the groove 31r2 are tortuous, liquid entering the groove 31r2 from the storage compartment 30 is retained therein and prevented from directly entering the atomization chamber 7c. The groove 31r2 provided on the upper cover 31 reduces the volume of liquid entering the atomization chamber 7c and reduces the chance of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A. Furthermore, the groove 31r2 can also be used to store condensed liquid generated during use of the cartridge 100A, reducing the chance of condensed liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

[0184] Although Figure 8A The groove 31r1 and the groove 31r2 shown in FIG. 3 are connected to each other, but in some embodiments, the groove 31r1 and the groove 31r2 provided on the upper cover 31 may not be connected to each other.

[0186] The upper cover 32 includes a surface 32s1 and a surface 32s2 opposite to surface 32s1. In certain embodiments, surface 32s1 and surface 32s2 may be parallel to each other. The upper cover 32 includes an opening 32h1. Opening 32h1 can serve as an aerosol passage. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating assembly 5 can enter the tube 1t of the cartridge housing 1 through opening 32h1 and then be inhaled by the user through opening 1h of the cartridge housing 1.

[0187] Upper cover 32 includes a groove 32r1 connecting surface 32s1 and surface 32s2. Groove 32r1 may be perpendicular to surface 32s1. Groove 32r1 may also be perpendicular to surface 32s2. Groove 32r1 may include portion 32a, portion 32b, and portion 32c. Portions 32a, 32b, and 32c may be interconnected. Portions 32a, 32b, and 32c may extend in the same direction.

[0188] The surface 32s1 and the surface 32s2 of the upper cover 32 may communicate with each other via a vertical groove (ie, the groove 32r1).

[0189] The upper cover 32 includes a groove 32r2 located on one side of the opening 32h1. The groove 32r2 may include a portion 32d, a portion 32e, a portion 32f, a portion 32g, a portion 32h, a portion 32i, and a portion 32j. Portions 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g, 32h, 32i, and 32j may be interconnected. Portions 32d, 32f, 32h, and 32j may be parallel to each other.

[0190] Part 32e, part 32g, and part 32i may have an arc shape. Part 32e, part 32g, and part 32i may have a rounded shape. Part 32e, part 32g, and part 32i may have a semicircular shape. Part 32e, part 32g, and part 32i may have an elliptical shape.

[0191] Portions 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g, and 32h of groove 32r2 can form an S-shaped configuration. Portions 32f, 32g, 32h, 32i, and 32j of groove 32r2 can form a Z-shaped configuration. The upper cover 32 can include a groove 32r3 on the other side of groove 32r2 that is mirror-symmetrical to groove 32r2. Groove 32r3 can form a bow-shaped configuration. The bow-shaped portion of groove 32r3 may also be referred to as a patterned portion in this disclosure.

[0192] The groove 32r2 can be connected to the surface 32s1 via the portion 32a of the groove 32r1. The groove 32r2 can be connected to the surface 32s2 via the portion 32c of the groove 32r1. The surfaces 32s1 and 32s2 of the upper cover 32 can be connected to each other via a non-perpendicular groove (composed of the groove 32r2, the portion 32a of the groove 32r1, and the portion 32c of the groove 32r1).

[0193] The groove 32r1 provided on the upper cover 32 balances the pressure in the storage compartment 30 and the outside world. During continued use of the atomizer device 100, the amount of e-liquid in the storage compartment 30 decreases, potentially creating a negative pressure within the storage compartment 30. Providing the groove 32r1 on the upper cover 32 solves this problem. When the pressure in the storage compartment 30 is too high, the gas in the storage compartment 30 can flow through the groove 32r1 provided on the upper cover 32 to the atomizing chamber 7c, thereby reducing the pressure within the storage compartment 30. When the pressure in the storage compartment 30 is too low, the gas in the atomizing chamber 7c can flow through the groove 32r1 provided on the upper cover 32 to the storage compartment 30, thereby increasing the pressure within the storage compartment 30.

[0194] The groove 32r2 provided on the upper cover 32 also offers numerous advantages. For example, because the paths between the various sections of the groove 32r2 are tortuous, liquid entering the groove 32r2 from the storage compartment 30 is retained therein and prevented from directly entering the atomization chamber 7c. The groove 32r2 provided on the upper cover 32 reduces the volume of liquid entering the atomization chamber 7c and reduces the chance of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A. Furthermore, the groove 32r2 can also be used to store condensed liquid generated during use of the cartridge 100A, reducing the chance of condensed liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

The upper cover 33 includes an opening 33h1. The opening 33h1 can serve as an aerosol passage. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating component 5 can enter the tube 1t of the cartridge housing 1 via the opening 33h1 and then be inhaled by the user via the opening 1h of the cartridge housing 1.

[0198] The upper cover 33 includes a groove 33r1 connecting the surface 33s1 and the surface 33s2. The groove 33r1 can be perpendicular to the surface 33s1.

For example, because the paths between the various sections of the groove 35r2 are tortuous, liquid entering the groove 35r2 from the storage compartment 30 is retained therein and prevented from directly entering the atomization chamber 7c. The groove 35r2 provided on the upper cover 35 reduces the volume of liquid entering the atomization chamber 7c and reduces the chance of liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A. Furthermore, the groove 35r2 can be used to store condensed liquid generated during use of the cartridge 100A, reducing the chance of condensed liquid leaking outside the cartridge 100A.

[0222] Although Figure 8E The groove 35r1 and the groove 35r2 shown in FIG. 3 are connected to each other, but in some embodiments, the groove 35r1 and the groove 35r2 provided on the upper cover 35 may not be connected to each other.
