Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atomization equipment, and in particular to an atomization component and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, electronic cigarettes are deeply loved by smokers as a substitute for tobacco. The essence of electronic cigarettes is an aerosol generating device, which is mainly composed of a host and an atomizer. The atomizer is used to atomize the e-liquid and mix the atomized e-liquid with air for users to inhale, while the host is used to provide power for the atomizer.

[0003] The core component of the atomizer, the atomizer core, mainly includes a heating element and an oil-conducting carrier, wherein the heating element is mainly a spiral heating wire, and the oil-conducting carrier is mainly cotton and microporous ceramics. When the oil-conducting carrier is cotton, the oil-conducting cotton is wrapped around the outer periphery of the spiral heating wire during production. After the oil-conducting cotton is wrapped, the excess oil-conducting cotton at both ends is cut off. The cut-off part cannot be reused, resulting in a waste of oil-conducting cotton; when the oil-conducting carrier is microporous ceramic, the heating wire needs to be laid on the lower surface of the ceramic prototype during production. The heating wire cannot be completely covered by the ceramic, and needs to be half buried and half exposed. Then, the ceramic is sintered at about 1200 degrees. After subsequent damage, it can only be replaced as a whole. From the above, it can be seen that the atomizer core in the existing atomizer structure has the problem of complex production, which is not conducive to reducing the production cost and subsequent maintenance of the atomizer.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0047] As described in the background art, the atomizer core in the existing atomizer structure has the problem of complex manufacturing, which is not conducive to reducing the production cost and subsequent maintenance of the atomizer.

[0048] In order to solve the above problems, according to one aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application provides an atomizing assembly, such as Figure 1 As shown, the atomization assembly includes a detachably connected upper bracket 100 and a lower bracket 200, and a liquid-conducting cotton block 300 and a mesh heating sheet 400 clamped between the upper bracket 100 and the lower bracket 200 and adhered to each other; the upper bracket 100 is provided with a liquid-conducting channel 101 for passing liquid to the liquid-conducting cotton block 300; the lower bracket 200 is provided with an atomization outlet 201 and two pin outlets 202; the mesh heating sheet 400 is connected to two conductive pins 410, and the ends of the two conductive pins 410 away from the mesh heating sheet 400 respectively pass through the two pin outlets 202 and then bend to form two conductive parts for abutting the conductive electrode.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the atomizer assembly clamps the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 and the mesh heating sheet 400 through a detachably connected upper bracket 100 and a lower bracket 200. The lower bracket 200 is provided with an atomizer outlet 201 and a two-pin outlet 202. The mesh heating sheet 400 is connected to two conductive pins 410. The two conductive pins 410 are respectively bent at one end away from the mesh heating sheet 400 to form two conductive parts for abutting the conductive electrode. The atomizer assembly designed in this way has a simple structure, avoids the traditional winding of oil-conducting cotton and heating wire and the complex manufacturing process of sintering ceramics and heating wire, is easy to manufacture and automatically assemble, and is conducive to reducing the production cost of the atomizer and facilitating later maintenance.

[0050] It should be noted that the atomizer assembly in this embodiment can be used in the e-cigarette cartridge to atomize the e-liquid, and can also be used in medical devices to atomize liquid medicine, etc. In the embodiment of the present invention, the atomizer assembly is used in the e-cigarette cartridge to atomize the e-liquid as an example, but is not limited to this.

[0051] It can be understood that the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 and the mesh heating sheet 400 are fixed and fit together by the upper bracket 100 and the lower bracket 200. The detachably connected upper bracket 100 and the lower bracket 200 have the advantages of being convenient for the installation of the atomization assembly and the replacement of some parts in the later stage. Specifically, the upper bracket 100 and the lower bracket 200 can be connected together by conventional detachable methods such as screwing, snapping, plugging or interference fit.

[0052] As a part of the atomizer, the atomizer assembly needs to cooperate with the shell 700 to form the atomizer. A liquid storage chamber 701 for storing e-liquid is provided in the shell 700. The liquid guide channel 101 longitudinally penetrates the upper bracket 100 so that the e-liquid can flow from the liquid storage chamber 701 through the liquid guide channel 101 into the liquid guide cotton block 300. The shape of the liquid guide channel 101 is not limited and can be a through hole of any shape. In this embodiment, there are two holes with gradually decreasing inner diameters.

[0053] The mesh heating sheet 400 is used to heat the tobacco oil immersed in the liquid-conducting cotton block 300. The mesh heating sheet 400 is sheet-shaped, and the mesh holes provided thereon correspond to the atomization outlet 201 provided on the lower bracket 200. The mesh hole size can be set according to actual needs, and the mesh hole shape is not limited. The liquid-conducting cotton block 300 is completely fitted with the mesh heating sheet 400 under the clamping of the upper bracket 100 and the lower bracket 200, which is conducive to uniformly heating the liquid-conducting cotton block 300, so that the tobacco oil immersed therein is heated and atomized to form smoke. The two conductive pins 410 can be respectively connected to the two ends of the mesh heating sheet 400 in the length direction and form an integrated structure with the mesh heating sheet 400. They can be made of thin sheets such as nickel, nickel-chromium, nickel-titanium, titanium, stainless steel, etc. through laser laser, CNC processing, stamping or etching.

[0054] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the mesh heating sheet 400 has a contact surface for contacting with the liquid-conducting cotton block 300. The mesh heating sheet 400 includes a heating portion 401 with mesh holes and two connecting portions 402 respectively connected to the two ends of the heating portion 401 in the longitudinal direction. Two strip-shaped conductive pins 410 are respectively connected to the sides of the two connecting portions 402 facing away from the contact surface. When the mesh heating sheet 400 is installed in place on the lower bracket 200, the conductive pins 410 are inserted into the pin outlet 202. The end of the conductive pin 410 away from the connecting portion 402 extends out of the pin outlet 202 and bends to form a conductive portion 412. The portion of the conductive pin 410 located within the pin outlet 202 forms a bent portion 411 connecting the connecting portion 402 and the conductive portion 412.

[0055] Furthermore, a heating column 420 is provided on the heating portion 401 and extends toward the side facing the contact surface.

[0056] By arranging a heating column 420 on the heating part 401, the heating area is increased. After the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 is placed on the mesh heating sheet 400 and fits it with the contact surface, the heating column 420 can be inserted into the liquid-conducting cotton block 300. Cooperating with the heating part 401, it can not only uniformly heat the liquid-conducting cotton block 300, but also make the tobacco oil immersed in the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 quickly absorb heat and atomize. At the same time, the heating column 420 can also fix the liquid-conducting cotton block 300, so that the connection between the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 and the mesh heating sheet 400 is more stable and reliable.

[0057] Preferably, the heating columns 420 are evenly arranged on both sides of the heating portion 401 in the length direction.

[0058] It is understandable that the heating column 420 is made of conductive metal or alloy, for example, it can be made of iron, aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, copper alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, titanium alloy, high-speed steel or stainless steel.

[0059] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the atomization assembly further includes a heat insulating member 500 , which is disposed between the mesh heating sheet 400 and the lower bracket 200 , and is provided with a center hole 501 corresponding to the atomization outlet 201 and two notches 502 corresponding to the two pin outlets 202 .

[0060] By setting a thermal insulation member 500 between the mesh heating sheet 400 and the lower bracket 200, the mesh heating sheet 400 can be isolated from the lower bracket 200 by the thermal insulation member 500, avoiding direct contact between the mesh heating sheet 400 and the lower bracket 200, which can reduce the requirements for the material of the lower bracket 200 and thus reduce costs.

[0061] It should be noted that when the heat insulating member 500 is not provided, the lower bracket 200 needs to be made of a high temperature resistant material, such as PEEK, Teflon and the like, which can be manufactured by injection molding or machining.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the upper bracket 100 and the thermal insulation member 500 are made of silicone.

[0063] The main component of silica gel is silicon dioxide, which has stable chemical properties, is non-toxic and odorless, does not burn, and is resistant to high temperatures. The upper bracket 100 and the thermal insulation member 500 are made of silica gel, which can prevent the smoke oil from contacting and reacting with the upper bracket 100 and the thermal insulation member 500, causing the smoke oil to deteriorate. The thermal insulation member 500 made of silica gel can not only play a heat insulation role, but also, due to the elasticity of silica gel, can seal the gap between the remaining parts of the thermal insulation member 500 except the center hole 501 and the two notches 502 and the lower bracket 200 to prevent the smoke oil from leaking.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the thermal insulation member 500 includes a main body 510 and two hooks 520 connected to the main body 510, a center hole 501 and two notches 502 are set on the main body 510, and the two hooks 520 pass through the two pin outlets 202 respectively and are hooked to the part of the lower bracket 200 located between the pin outlet 202 and the atomization outlet 201. The part of the conductive pin 410 extending out of the pin outlet 202 is bent toward the hook 520 and fits on the hook 520 to form a conductive part.

[0065] Through the above design, the two hooks 520 on the heat insulating member 500 pass through the two pin outlets 202 respectively and are hooked on the part of the lower bracket 200 located between the pin outlet 202 and the atomization outlet 201, so that the heat insulating member 500 can be installed and fixed on the lower bracket 200. The part of the conductive pin 410 on the mesh heating sheet 400 extending out of the pin outlet 202 is bent toward the hook 520 and fits on the hook 520, which can form a conductive part for abutting against the conductive electrode to supply power to the mesh heating sheet 400, and can also realize the installation and fixation of the mesh heating sheet 400 through the conductive pin 410.

[0066] Specifically, the main body 510 and the two hooks 520 can be an integrated structure and can be formed by silicone injection molding.

[0067] In a more specific embodiment, Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, the lower bracket 200 has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and the first end is provided with a receiving groove 210 for accommodating the heat insulation component 500, the mesh heating sheet 400 and the liquid conducting cotton block 300, the atomization outlet 201 and the two-pin outlet 202 pass through the bottom of the receiving groove 210 and the second end, and the upper bracket 100 includes a limiting portion 110 abutting against the first end and an insertion portion 120 connected to the limiting portion 110 and interference-fitted into the receiving groove 210, the insertion portion 120 abuts against the liquid conducting cotton block 300 so that the liquid conducting cotton block 300 fits the mesh heating sheet 400.

[0068] By arranging the thermal insulation component 500, the mesh heating sheet 400 and the liquid conducting cotton block 300 in the receiving groove 210 on the lower bracket 200, the receiving groove 210 is used to limit the thermal insulation component 500, the mesh heating sheet 400 and the liquid conducting cotton block 300, and then the upper bracket 100 is interference fit with the receiving groove 210 to achieve the compression and fixation of the thermal insulation component 500, the mesh heating sheet 400 and the liquid conducting cotton block 300. The structure is simple, which further improves the convenience of manufacturing the atomization component.

[0069] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, when making the atomizer assembly, first place the heat insulation member 500 on the bottom of the accommodating groove 210 and make the hook 520 on the heat insulation member 500 pass through the pin outlet 202 and buckle on the part of the lower bracket 200 located between the pin outlet 202 and the atomization outlet 201; then place the mesh heating sheet 400 on the heat insulation member 500 and extend the end of the conductive pin 410 away from the mesh heating sheet 400 out of the pin outlet 202, then bend toward the hook 520 and fit on the hook 520 to form a conductive part; then place the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 on the mesh heating sheet 400; finally, the insertion portion 120 of the upper bracket 100 is interference-fitted into the accommodating groove 210 and abuts against the liquid-conducting cotton block 300.

[0070] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the accommodating groove 210 can be set separately at the bottom of the upper bracket 100, or accommodating space can be set at the bottom of the upper bracket 100 and the top of the lower bracket 200 to jointly form the accommodating groove 210.

[0071] In a further specific embodiment, Figure 2-3As shown, the accommodating groove 210 includes a plug-in section 212 and an accommodating section 211 which are arranged in sequence from the groove mouth to the groove bottom, the heat insulation component 500, the mesh heating sheet 400 and the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 are accommodated in the accommodating section 211, the insertion part 120 includes an insertion connecting part 121 located in the insertion section and an insertion abutting part 122 located in the accommodating section 211 and abutting against the liquid-conducting cotton block 300, an air hole 203 communicating with the plug-in section 212 and an air groove 204 communicating with the air hole 203 and extending to the second end are provided on the outer wall of the lower bracket 200, an air outlet 102 is provided on the limiting part 110, and an air channel 103 connecting the air hole 203 with the air outlet 102 is provided on the insertion connecting part 121.

[0072] Through the above arrangement, when the atomizer assembly is arranged in the shell 700, a smoke gap is formed between the air groove 204 on the outer wall of the lower bracket 200 and the inner wall of the shell. The smoke gap cooperates with the air channel 103 on the insertion connection part 121 and the air outlet 102 on the limiting part 110 to form a part of the entire atomizer air path, making the entire atomizer structure more compact.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the atomization assembly also includes a base 600 and two conductive electrodes 610 arranged on the base 600. The base 600 is sleeved on the lower bracket 200. The base 600 is provided with an air inlet channel 601 connected to the atomization outlet 201. The two conductive electrodes 610 are respectively abutted against the two conductive parts. The mesh heating sheet 400 can be connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply through the conductive electrodes 610 to achieve heating, so as to evaporate and atomize the liquid adsorbed by the liquid-conducting cotton block 300.

[0074] Specifically, the base 600 is made of insulating material, and the two conductive electrodes 610 are two electrode columns that pass through the base 600 and fit tightly with the base 600. One end of the two electrode columns is respectively in contact with the two conductive parts, and the other end of the two electrode columns is located at the end of the base 600 away from the lower bracket 200 and is used to respectively contact the positive and negative poles of the power supply on the host for conduction.

[0075] like Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the atomizer assembly having a base 600 and a conductive electrode 610 needs to be installed together in the housing 700 to form an atomizer. It should be noted that a central tube 710 is provided in the housing 700 to separate from the liquid storage chamber 701. An air outlet channel 711 is formed in the central tube 710. When the atomizer assembly is installed in the housing 700, the smoke liquid in the liquid storage chamber 701 can be immersed into the liquid guide cotton block 300 through the liquid guide channel 101 on the upper bracket 100 (the direction of smoke liquid flow is shown in FIG. Figure 7The path indicated by the arrow in the figure), one end of the central tube 710 located in the shell 700 is inserted into the air outlet 102 on the upper bracket 100 through interference, and the other end of the central tube 710 forms a suction port 712 on the shell 700 for the user to inhale. After the atomizer is installed on the host (the atomizer and the host can be connected by magnetic attraction), the two electrode columns are located at the end of the base 600 away from the lower bracket 200, respectively contacting the positive and negative poles of the power supply on the host. The power is supplied through the two electrode columns to the mesh heating sheet 400. The electric heating causes the e-liquid in the liquid-guiding cotton block 300 to be atomized to form smoke. As the user draws in at the suction port 712, the outside air flows in through the air inlet channel 601 on the base 600, mixes with the smoke, and then flows through the smoke-passing gap formed between the air groove 204 on the outer wall of the lower bracket 200 and the inner wall of the shell, the air passage 103 on the insertion connection part 121, the air outlet 102 on the limit part 110, and the air outlet channel 711 in the central tube 710 to be inhaled by the user (the direction of gas flow is shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 8 path indicated by the arrow in the figure).

[0076] According to another aspect of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for manufacturing an atomizing assembly, such as Figure 6 As shown, the production method comprises the following steps:

[0077] A lower support 200 is provided having an atomizing outlet 201 and a two-pin outlet 202;

[0078] Place the mesh heating sheet 400 connected to the two conductive pins 410 on the lower bracket 200, and make the ends of the two conductive pins 410 away from the mesh heating sheet 400 pass through the two pin outlets 202 respectively;

[0079] The mesh heating sheet 400 is pressed onto the lower bracket 200 by external force, and the portions of the two conductive pins 410 extending from the pin outlet 202 are bent to form two conductive portions for contacting the conductive electrode 610;

[0080] Place the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 on the mesh heating sheet 400;

[0081] The upper bracket 100 having the liquid conducting channel 101 is pressed onto the liquid conducting cotton block 300 and the upper bracket 100 is detachably connected to the lower bracket 200 .

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, the atomizer assembly manufacturing method can be used to simply and quickly prepare the atomizer assembly, avoiding the traditional complex manufacturing process of winding oil-guide cotton and heating wire and sintering ceramics and heating wire, facilitating automated assembly, helping to reduce the production cost of the atomizer, and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0083] In one embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, before placing the mesh heating sheet 400 connected with two conductive pins 410 on the lower bracket 200 , the thermal insulation member 500 is placed on the lower bracket 200 .

[0084] By setting a thermal insulation member 500 between the mesh heating sheet 400 and the lower bracket 200, the mesh heating sheet 400 can be isolated from the lower bracket 200 by the thermal insulation member 500, avoiding direct contact between the mesh heating sheet 400 and the lower bracket 200, which can reduce the requirements for the material of the lower bracket 200 and thus reduce costs.

[0085] It should be noted that when the heat insulating member 500 is not provided, the lower bracket 200 needs to be made of a high temperature resistant material, such as PEEK, Teflon and the like, which can be manufactured by injection molding or machining.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the heat insulation member 500 includes a main body 510 and two hooks 520 connected to the main body 510. The main body 510 is provided with a central hole 501 corresponding to the atomization outlet 201 and two notches 502 corresponding to the two pin outlets 202. The two hooks 520 pass through the two pin outlets 202 respectively and are buckled on the part of the lower bracket 200 located between the pin outlet 202 and the atomization outlet 201.

[0087] Through the above design, the two hooks 520 on the heat insulating member 500 pass through the two pin outlets 202 respectively and are hooked on the part of the lower bracket 200 located between the pin outlet 202 and the atomization outlet 201, so that the heat insulating member 500 can be installed and fixed on the lower bracket 200. The part of the conductive pin 410 on the mesh heating sheet 400 extending out of the pin outlet 202 is bent toward the hook 520 and fits on the hook 520, which can form a conductive part for abutting against the conductive electrode 610 to supply power to the mesh heating sheet 400, and can also realize the installation and fixation of the mesh heating sheet 400 through the conductive pin 410.

[0088] In summary, the atomizer assembly and the manufacturing method thereof provided in this embodiment have at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0089] The atomizer assembly clamps the liquid-conducting cotton block 300 and the mesh heating sheet 400 through a detachably connected upper bracket 100 and a lower bracket 200. The lower bracket 200 is provided with an atomizer outlet 201 and two-pin outlets 202. The mesh heating sheet 400 is connected to two conductive pins 410. The ends of the two conductive pins 410 away from the mesh heating sheet 400 respectively pass through the two pin outlets 202 and then bend to form two conductive parts for abutting the conductive electrode 610. The atomizer assembly designed in this way has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and automatically assemble, is conducive to reducing the production cost of the atomizer and is convenient for later maintenance; the atomizer assembly manufacturing method of the present application can prepare the atomizer assembly simply and quickly, avoiding the traditional complex manufacturing process of winding the oil-conducting cotton and the heating wire and sintering the ceramic and the heating wire, is convenient for automatic assembly, is conducive to reducing the production cost of the atomizer, and is convenient for later maintenance.
