Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic atomization, and in particular to a capillary liquid-conducting atomization unit and an atomization device. Background Art

[0002] The liquid supply system of the electronic atomizer currently used in the field of electronic atomization is prone to leakage and insufficient liquid supply. It is difficult to strike a balance between preventing liquid leakage and satisfying the needs of heating and atomization.

[0003] At present, in order to completely atomize the liquid, the liquid inlet of the atomizer in the industry is generally set at the bottom of the liquid storage tank. In this way, the liquid pressure received by the liquid inlet is relatively large, and the pressure of the liquid passing through the porous material is high, which makes it very easy for the liquid to pass through the porous material, which can easily cause leakage. Leakage can be solved by adjusting the pore size and pore density of the porous material. However, as the liquid is atomized and evaporated, the liquid in the liquid storage tank becomes less, the pressure becomes smaller, the liquid pressure received by the liquid inlet becomes smaller, and the speed of the liquid passing through the porous material to the atomization surface becomes slower, which will cause insufficient liquid supply and dry burning. Both leakage and dry burning greatly affect the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the capillary liquid guide atomization unit of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10 and an atomization assembly 20 disposed in the housing 10 .

[0037] Among them, at least one liquid inlet hole 200 is provided on the side of the atomizing assembly 20, and a capillary liquid absorption channel 100 is provided between the inner side of the housing 10 and the side where the liquid inlet hole 200 is located, and the length of the capillary liquid absorption channel 100 extends along the height direction of the side of the atomizing assembly 20 where the liquid inlet hole 200 is located. The capillary liquid absorption channel 100 is connected to the liquid inlet hole 200; and the opposite ends of the capillary liquid absorption channel 100 extend to the upper and lower sides of the liquid inlet hole 200 respectively, and the liquid is absorbed to the liquid inlet hole 200 by capillary action. The liquid entering the liquid inlet hole 200 is then heated and atomized by the atomizing assembly to form smoke.

[0038] The width d of the capillary liquid suction channel 100 is 0.1 mm-3 mm. The number of the capillary liquid suction channels 100 is set corresponding to the liquid inlet hole 200. For example, when the liquid inlet hole 200 is set on one side of the atomizing component 20, one capillary liquid suction channel 100 is correspondingly provided opposite thereto. When the liquid inlet holes 200 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the atomizing component 20, two capillary liquid suction channels 100 are correspondingly provided, each opposite to one liquid inlet hole 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a cylinder 11 with two opposite open ends. The cylinder 11 is sleeved and attached to the outer peripheral side of the atomizer assembly 20 .

[0040] The side wall of the barrel 11 opposite to the liquid inlet 200 bulges outward relative to the atomizer assembly 20 to form a convex wall 12 extending along the length direction of the barrel 11. The capillary liquid suction channel 100 is formed between the inner wall surface of the convex wall 12 and the side surface of the atomizer assembly 10.

[0041] The outer peripheral shape of the barrel 11 is arranged correspondingly to the outer peripheral shape of the atomizer assembly 20, so that the barrel 11 can fit closely to the outer periphery of the atomizer assembly 20. The outer peripheral shapes of the barrel 11 and the atomizer assembly 20 can be, but are not limited to, circular, polygonal, or elliptical. The convex shape of the convex wall 12 is not limited, and can be various shapes such as square and arc.

[0042] The atomization assembly 20 may include a liquid-conducting body 21 , a sleeve 22 sleeved on the outer periphery of the liquid-conducting body 21 , and at least one heating element 23 disposed in the liquid-conducting body 21 .

[0043] The liquid guide 21 is used to absorb the atomizable liquid. It is a porous liquid guide made of porous material, and its cross section can be in various shapes such as polygonal and circular. The liquid guide 21 is provided with air flow holes 210 penetrating its opposite ends. The heating element 23 is located on the inner wall surface of the air flow hole 210. The liquid is heated and atomized on the heating element 23 and then discharged along the air flow hole 210.

[0044] The sleeve 22 covers the outer periphery of the liquid guiding body 21 to play the role of structural support and isolation. The liquid inlet hole 200 is arranged on the sleeve 22. In order for the liquid guiding body 21 to absorb the liquid better and faster, a protrusion 211 that fits in the liquid inlet hole 200 may be arranged on the side of the liquid guiding body 21.

[0045] The heating element 23 can be attached to or embedded on the inner wall surface of the air flow hole 210, and one end of the heating element 23 is exposed to one end of the liquid conductive body 21 for external power supply.

Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the heating body 231 is a spiral heating tube, and the electrode connecting portion 232 is an electrode lead extended or welded from the end of the heating tube.

[0047] Further, in this embodiment, the length of the sleeve 22 is greater than the length of the liquid-conducting liquid 21, so that the liquid-conducting liquid 21 can be accommodated in the sleeve 22 as a whole. The length of the sleeve 22 is also greater than the length of the housing 10, and the housing 10 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sleeve 22 corresponding to the position of the liquid inlet hole 200 on the sleeve 22. The top of the housing 10 is flush with or higher than the top edge of the liquid inlet hole 200, so that the top of the capillary liquid suction channel 100 is also flush with or higher than the top edge of the liquid inlet hole 200. The bottom of the housing 10 is located below the liquid inlet hole 200, so that the bottom of the capillary liquid suction channel 100 is also located below the liquid inlet hole 200, so that the bottom opening of the capillary liquid suction channel 100 can absorb the liquid located below the liquid inlet hole 200 and lift it to the liquid inlet hole 200, and enter the liquid inlet hole 200 to be absorbed by the liquid-conducting liquid 21.

The liquid inlet hole 200 on the atomization component 20 does not need to be located at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 300, and can be located in the middle of the liquid storage tank 300 or other positions; the bottom of the capillary liquid suction channel 100 is located in the liquid storage tank 300, that is, higher than the bottom surface of the liquid storage tank 300. When the atomization device is working, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 300 is absorbed by the capillary liquid suction channel 100 and enters it, and then enters the liquid guide body 21 through the liquid inlet hole 200.

The liquid entering the liquid inlet hole 200 is then heated and atomized by the atomizing assembly to form smoke.

[0051] The housing 10 includes a cylinder 11 with two opposite ends open, and the cylinder 11 is sleeved and attached to the outer peripheral side of the atomizer assembly 20. The side wall of the cylinder 11 opposite to the liquid inlet 200 protrudes outward relative to the atomizer assembly 20 to form a convex wall 12 extending along the length direction of the cylinder 11. The capillary liquid suction channel 100 is formed between the inner wall surface of the convex wall 12 and the side surface of the atomizer assembly 10.

[0052] The atomization assembly 20 includes a liquid-conducting body 21 , a sleeve 22 sleeved on the outer periphery of the liquid-conducting body 21 , and at least one heating element 23 disposed in the liquid-conducting body 21 .

The airflow hole 210 can be one or multiple airflow holes 210 spaced apart. The heating element 23 can be one or multiple; multiple heating elements 23 are independently arranged on the inner wall surface of each airflow hole 210, or can be arranged on the inner wall surface of the same side of the multiple airflow holes 210 across the multiple airflow holes 210.

[0055] The heating element 23 may include a heating body 231 and two electrode connecting parts 232 spaced apart and connected to one end of the heating body 231. The electrode connecting part 232 is exposed from the liquid conductor 21 and connected to an external power source, and the two electrode connecting parts 32 correspond to the positive and negative poles of the power source respectively.
