Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aerosol generating devices, and particularly to a device with rotational air intake and an aerosol generating device. Background Art

[0002] An aerosol generating device is a portable device that replaces conventional cigarettes. It usually has a cartridge inserted into a main body to heat the e-liquid in the cartridge to form smoke, so as to achieve the effect of generating smoke.

[0003] In existing aerosol generating devices, users suck the smoke through a mouthpiece in the cartridge. The structure for adjusting the airflow into the atomization core is relatively complex. When the cartridge is damaged, it is difficult to repair, which is inconvenient for users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem that the structure for adjusting the airflow into the atomization core in existing aerosol generating devices is relatively complex, the present invention provides a device with rotational air intake and an aerosol generating device.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a technical solution as follows: A device with rotational air intake includes a housing, an atomization core, and an electrode base. One end of the atomization core is placed inside the housing, and the other end of the atomization core contacts the electrode base for electrical connection. When the housing is inserted into the electrode base, the electrode base covers the outer peripheral side of one end of the housing. The housing includes a mouthpiece end and an insertion end that are opposite to each other. The insertion end is close to the electrode base. The insertion end is provided with at least two positioning blocks including a fixing hole and a protrusion. The fixing hole is opened at the rotation center of the housing and is communicated with the mouthpiece end. The at least two positioning blocks are circumferentially and evenly arranged on the edge of the insertion end. An air inlet is provided at one end of the atomization core close to the electrode base, and the air inlet is at least between the at least two positioning blocks. The electrode base includes a covering portion that covers the area where the housing is inserted into the electrode base. At least one ventilation opening is provided at a position corresponding to the positioning block on the covering portion.

[0006] Preferably, at least two limiting components are provided on the side of the electrode base close to the housing. The limiting components are circumferentially and evenly arranged on the edge of the electrode base. The limiting component includes two adjacent grooves. A first magnetic member is provided in each groove. A second magnetic member is provided on the side of the positioning block close to the electrode base. The positioning block can be placed in the groove, and the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are magnetically connected. At least one of the grooves is arranged at a position corresponding to the ventilation opening.

[0007] Preferably, the groove includes a bottom surface and a side surface, and the connection between the bottom surface and the side surface is an arc transition structure.

[0008] Preferably, an electrode area and a surrounding plate are provided at a position of the electrode base corresponding to the atomization core. The electrode area contacts the atomization core. When the housing is plugged onto the electrode base, the atomization core is plugged into the surrounding plate, and there is a gap between the surrounding plate and the atomization core.

[0009] Preferably, when the ventilation port, the air inlet, and the fixing hole are in communication, there is a gap between one end of the surrounding plate facing away from the electrode base and the surface of the plug-in end.

[0010] Preferably, a shielding plate is further provided on the covering portion. The shielding plate is slidably connected to the covering portion. The shielding plate is disposed adjacent to the ventilation port. The shielding plate can approach or move away from the ventilation port to block the ventilation port.

[0011] Preferably, the atomization core further includes an oil-proof plate. The oil-proof plate surrounds the outer peripheral side of the atomization core, and the oil-proof plate is disposed at one end of the air inlet close to the electrode base; there is a gap between the oil-proof plate and the air inlet.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the oil-proof plate facing away from the electrode base is flush with one end of the air inlet close to the housing.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided on one side of the atomization core close to the housing. The sealing ring is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the atomization core. When the atomization core is placed in the fixing hole, the sealing ring is in interference fit with the fixing hole.

[0014] The present invention also provides an aerosol generating device, which includes the device with rotational air intake as described in any one of the above.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the device with rotational air intake and the aerosol generating device provided by the present invention have the following advantages:

[0016] 1. By providing a ventilation port, an air inlet, and a plurality of positioning blocks, when the user needs to close the ventilation port, the user only needs to rotate the housing to block the ventilation port with the positioning block. When the ventilation port needs to be opened, the housing is rotated to move the positioning block away from the ventilation port. While facilitating the user's operation, the structure for adjusting the air intake is simple, not easily damaged, convenient for production, and at the same time, it also makes the user's operation simpler, improves the user's fun in using the product, and enhances the user's experience.

[0017] 2. By setting adjacent grooves, the user can place the positioning block into the groove to open and close the vent. The user can achieve a blind insertion effect based on the cooperation between the positioning block and the groove, which further facilitates the user's operation. At the same time, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are magnetically connected so that the positioning block can be magnetically fixed in the groove. Furthermore, by setting the groove, the user can limit the rotation of the shell based on the positioning block placed in the groove during use, avoiding the wrong rotation of the shell during the use of the product, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0018] 3. The groove includes a bottom surface and a side surface, and the connection between the bottom surface and the side surface is an arc transition structure, so that when the positioning block needs to be moved out of the current groove, the user applies force to rotate the shell, so that the positioning block can slide out based on the rotational force between the arc transition structures without the need to lift the positioning block additionally, thereby reducing the operating steps, facilitating the user to adjust the opening and closing of the vent, and improving the user experience.

[0019] 4. By setting the enclosure, the backflow of smoke oil is blocked by the enclosure and cannot overflow, so as to prevent the smoke oil from dirtying other areas of the electrode base. Furthermore, by adding the enclosure, when the user inhales gas, due to the barrier effect of the enclosure added between the air inlet and the air vent, the external objects entering the air vent can be blocked by the enclosure to avoid the absorption of impurities, improve the safety of inhalation, and increase the filtering performance.

[0020] 5. When the vent, the air inlet and the fixing hole are connected, a gap is formed between the end of the enclosure away from the electrode base and the surface of the plug-in end, so that external gas can pass through the gap and connect with the air inlet.

[0021] 6. A shielding plate is also provided on the covering portion, and the shielding plate is slidably connected to the covering portion. The shielding plate is arranged adjacent to the vent, and the shielding plate can be moved closer to or farther away from the vent to shield the vent, so that the user can control the diameter of the vent by adjusting the position of the shielding plate to achieve the function of adjusting the air intake amount, thereby meeting the needs of various users for inhaling gas.

[0022] 7. The oil-proof plate is arranged around the outer periphery of the atomizer core, and the oil-proof plate is arranged at one end of the air inlet close to the electrode base, and there is a gap between the oil-proof plate and the air inlet. That is, the oil-proof plate is formed at the bottom of the air inlet. When the smoke oil flows back from the air inlet, the backflowing smoke oil flows downward and is blocked and collected by the oil-proof plate to avoid falling into the electrode base, which further ensures the safety of the electrode base.

[0023] 8. One end of the oil-proof plate facing away from the electrode base is flush with one end of the air inlet close to the housing, that is, the maximum height of the oil-proof plate can completely block the air inlet, so that the e-liquid flowing back from the air inlet in any direction can be completely blocked and collected by the oil-proof plate, further improving the safety protection of the electrode base.

[0024] 9. A sealing ring is provided on one side of the atomizing core close to the housing. The sealing ring is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the atomizing core. When the atomizing core is placed into the fixing hole, the sealing ring is in interference fit with the fixing hole, so that the atomizing core can be fixed in the fixing hole based on the sealing ring. At the same time, it also facilitates the user to disassemble the atomizing core for replacement or cleaning. Description of the Drawings

[0038] The following combines the accompanying drawings to describe the detailed implementation mode of the present invention in detail, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the detailed implementation mode

[0039] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first embodiment of the present invention provides a device 1 with rotational intake air, including a housing 11, an atomization core 12 and an electrode base 13. One end of the atomization core 12 is placed inside the housing 11, and the other end of the atomization core 12 contacts the electrode base 13 for electrical connection

[0040] When the housing 11 is plugged into the electrode base 13, the electrode base 13 covers the outer peripheral side of one end of the housing 11

[0041] The housing 11 includes an opposite mouthpiece end 111 and a plug end 112. The plug end 112 is arranged close to the electrode base 13. The plug end 112 is provided with a fixing hole 1121 and at least two protruding positioning blocks 1122. The fixing hole 1121 is opened at the rotation center of the housing 11, and the fixing hole 1121 communicates with the mouthpiece end 111. At least two positioning blocks 1122 are circumferentially and evenly arranged at the edge of the plug end 112

[0042] One end of the atomization core 12 close to the electrode base 13 is provided with an air inlet 121, and the air inlet 121 is at least located between at least two positioning blocks 1122

[0043] The electrode base 13 includes a covering part 131. The covering part 131 covers the area where the housing 11 is plugged into the electrode base 13. At least one air vent 1311 is opened at the position of the covering part 131 corresponding to the positioning block 1122

[0044] When the housing 11 is plugged into the electrode base 13, one end of the atomization core 12 contacts the electrode base 13 to achieve electrical connection. At the same time, when the positioning block 1122 is placed at the position of the air vent 1311, the positioning block 1122 blocks the air vent 1311, so that external gas cannot enter the atomization core 12, that is, it is currently in the "closed" state. After the user operates the housing 11 to rotate, when the positioning block 1122 rotates away from the air vent 1311 so that the air vent 1311 is located in the area between the two positioning blocks 1122, the air vent 1311 is opened and communicates with the air inlet 121, enabling the user to inhale through the mouthpiece end 111 and inhale external gas into the atomization core 12 (such as Figure 3 the gas flow direction p in

[0045] It can be understood that the number of the positioning blocks 1122 can be two, three or more, as long as the multiple positioning blocks 1122 can be circumferentially and evenly arranged on the insertion end 112, and there is a gap between two adjacent positioning blocks 1122. In this embodiment, the number of the positioning blocks 1122 is three, and the three positioning blocks 1122 are arranged at equal central angles circumferentially.

[0046] Optionally, the number of the air inlets 121 can be one, or can be set to two, three or more. When there are multiple air inlets 121, the number of the air inlets 121 matches the number of the positioning blocks 1122, and the positions of the multiple air inlets 121 match the positions of the positioning blocks 1122, so that the air inlets 121 can be completely blocked and closed by the positioning blocks 1122.

[0047] It can be understood that when the positioning block 1122 rotates away from the ventilation port 1311, the ventilation port 1311 is located in the space area between two adjacent positioning blocks 1122. At this time, there is no object blocking the ventilation port 1311, so that the external gas can enter the ventilation port 1311 and then enter the air inlet 121 to pass through the atomization core 12 to reach the suction nozzle end 111.

[0048] A sealing ring 123 is provided on one side of the atomization core 12 close to the housing 11 (as Figure 1 shown in), the sealing ring 123 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the atomization core 12. When the atomization core 12 is placed into the fixing hole 1121, the sealing ring 123 is in interference fit with the fixing hole 1121, so that the atomization core 12 can be fixed in the fixing hole 1121 based on the sealing ring 123, and at the same time, it is convenient for the user to disassemble the atomization core 12 for replacement or cleaning.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , at least two limiting components 132 are provided on one side of the electrode base 13 close to the housing 11. The limiting components 132 are circumferentially and evenly arranged on the edge of the electrode base 13. The number of the limiting components 132 is the same as the number of the positioning blocks 1122, and the positioning blocks 1122 can be placed into the limiting components 132.

[0050] The limiting component 132 includes two adjacent grooves 1321. A first magnetic member (not shown in the figure) is provided in each groove 1321. A second magnetic member (not shown in the figure) is provided on one side of the positioning block 1122 close to the electrode base 13. The positioning block 1122 can be placed into the groove 1321 and fixed based on the mutual magnetic attraction connection between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member.

[0051] At least one groove 1321 is arranged corresponding to the position of the ventilation port 1311, so that when the user places the positioning block 1122 in the groove 1321 to fix the housing 11, the ventilation port 1311 can be blocked and closed simultaneously based on the position of the groove 1321. When it needs to be opened, the positioning block 1122 can be rotated and moved into another adjacent groove 1321.

[0052] It can be understood that in this embodiment, one groove 1321 is arranged corresponding to the position of the ventilation port 1311, and another adjacent groove 1321 is arranged corresponding to the remaining position of the covering part 131, and the distance between two adjacent grooves 1321 is greater than or equal to the length of one positioning block 1122, so that one groove 1321 corresponds to the function of opening the ventilation port 1321, and the other groove corresponds to the function of closing the ventilation port 1321.

[0053] Optionally, as an embodiment, the groove 1321 includes a bottom surface and a side surface, and the connection between the bottom surface and the side surface is an arc transition structure. When the positioning block 1122 needs to be moved out of the current groove 1321, the user applies a force to rotate the housing 11, so that the positioning block 1122 can slide out based on the arc transition structure by the rotational force, without the need to additionally lift the positioning block 1122, reducing the operation steps, facilitating the user to adjust the opening and closing of the ventilation port 1311, and improving the user experience.

[0054] Optionally, as another embodiment, a baffle 100 is further provided on the covering part 131. The baffle 100 is slidably connected to the covering part 131, and the baffle 100 is arranged adjacent to the ventilation port 1311. The baffle 100 can be close to or away from the ventilation port 1311 to block the ventilation port 1311, so that the user can control the caliber size of the ventilation port 1311 by adjusting the position of the baffle 100, so as to achieve the function of adjusting the intake air volume and meet the needs of multiple users to inhale gas.

[0055] It can be understood that the baffle 100 can be slid based on the structure of the sliding groove, that is, sliding grooves are opened on the opposite sides of the ventilation port 1311, and the baffle 100 is snapped into the sliding grooves to achieve sliding, or the baffle 100 can also be set in a form of rotational occlusion, with one end rotatably connected to the ventilation port 1311, which will not be elaborated here.

[0056] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the electrode base 13 is provided with an electrode area 133 and a fence 134 corresponding to the position of the atomization core 12. The electrode area 133 is in contact with the atomization core 12. When the housing 11 is plugged into the electrode base 13, the atomization core 12 is plugged into the fence 134, and there is a gap between the fence 134 and the atomization core 12.

[0057] It can be understood that the smoke oil that may leak out of the atomizer core 12 flows back to the electrode base 13 through the air inlet 121, and by providing the enclosure 134, the backflowing smoke oil is blocked by the enclosure 134 and cannot overflow, thereby preventing the smoke oil from contaminating other areas of the electrode base 13. Furthermore, by adding the enclosure 134, when the user inhales gas, due to the barrier effect of the enclosure 134 added between the air inlet 121 and the vent 1311, when external objects enter the vent 1311, they can be blocked by the enclosure 134, thereby preventing impurities from being absorbed, improving the safety of inhalation, and increasing the filtering performance.

[0058] It can be understood that when the vent 1311 , the air inlet 121 and the fixing hole 1121 are connected, a gap exists between the end of the enclosure 134 facing away from the electrode base 13 and the surface of the plug end 112 , so that external gas can communicate with the air inlet 121 through the gap.

[0059] It can be understood that at least one electrode in the electrode area 133 is a ring structure, so that when the shell 11 rotates, the atomizer core 12 can always maintain electrical connection with the electrode base 13.

[0060] The atomizer core 12 also includes an oil-proof plate 122, which is arranged around the outer peripheral side of the atomizer core 12, and is arranged at one end of the air inlet 121 close to the electrode base 13, and there is a gap between the oil-proof plate 122 and the air inlet 121. That is, the oil-proof plate 122 is formed around the bottom of the air inlet 121, and when the smoke oil flows back from the air inlet 121, the backflowing smoke oil flows downward and is blocked and collected by the oil-proof plate 122 to avoid falling into the electrode base 13, further ensuring the safety of the electrode base 13.

[0061] Optionally, as an embodiment, the end of the oil-proof plate 122 facing away from the electrode base 13 is flush with the end of the air inlet 121 close to the shell 11, that is, the maximum height of the oil-proof plate 122 can completely block the air inlet 121, so that the smoke oil flowing back from the air inlet 121 from any direction can be completely blocked and collected by the oil-proof plate 122, further improving the safety protection of the electrode base 13.

[0062] The second embodiment of the present invention provides an aerosol generating device 2, which includes a main unit and a rotary air intake device 1 as provided in the first embodiment. The rotary air intake device 1 is plugged into the main unit, and the main unit provides electrical energy to the rotary air intake device 1.

[0063] Compared with the prior art, the rotary air intake device provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0064] By providing a vent, an air inlet, and a plurality of positioning blocks, when the user needs to close the vent, the user only needs to rotate the housing to block the vent with the positioning blocks. When the vent needs to be opened, the housing is rotated to move the positioning blocks away from the vent. This not only facilitates user operation, but also has a simple structure for adjusting the intake air, is not easily damaged, and is convenient for production. At the same time, it makes the user operation simpler, enhances the user's pleasure in using the product, and improves the user experience.

[0065] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for purposes of illustration and exemplification. These descriptions are not intended to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it is apparent that many changes and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the invention and its practical applications, so that those skilled in the art can implement and utilize the various different exemplary embodiments of the invention, as well as various different selections and changes.
