[0049] To more clearly illustrate the present invention, the invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] It should be understood that terms such as "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "first," and "second" are merely for the convenience of describing the technical solutions of the present invention, and do not indicate that the devices or elements referred to must have special differences, and therefore should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. It should be noted that when one component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.
[0051] Figure 1 and Figure 2 An electronic atomizing device according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. This electronic atomizing device can be used to allow a user to inhale an aerosol. It may include an atomizer 1 and a battery device 2 that cooperates with the atomizer 1. The atomizer 1 can be used to store and heat the atomized liquid aerosol generating matrix, such as a medicinal liquid, and to discharge the aerosol. The battery device 2 can be used to power the atomizer 1. In some embodiments, the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 may both be cylindrical and mechanically and electrically connected together axially. In some embodiments, the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are detachably connected by a threaded connection. It is understood that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are not limited to being connected by a thread; they may also be detachably connected by magnetic attraction. It is further understood that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are not limited to being cylindrical; they may also be cylindrical with an elliptical, racetrack-shaped, or irregular cross-section.
[0052] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1 may include a cylindrical atomizing body 10 located at the lower part and a mouthpiece assembly 20 axially connected to the upper end of the atomizing body 10. The atomizing body 10 is used to store and heat the atomized liquid aerosol generating matrix, and the mouthpiece assembly 20 is used to seal the liquid aerosol generating matrix in the atomizing body 10 and to discharge the aerosol. In some embodiments, the mouthpiece assembly 20 is fitted into the upper end of the atomizing body 10 in a tight fit to facilitate the injection of liquid aerosol generating matrix into the atomizing body 10. The mouthpiece assembly 20 may be detachably connected to the upper end of the atomizing body 10, in which case the liquid aerosol generating matrix can be repeatedly added, increasing the service life of the atomizer 1. For some disposable atomizers 1, the mouthpiece assembly 20 and the atomizing body 10 may also be non-detachable, that is, once connected, they are locked and cannot be separated without damaging the existing structure. In addition, even reusable atomizers can be integrated into a single unit by adding a liquid injector, such as... Figure 16 The atomizer 1c shown is an example of this.
[0053] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the atomizing body 10 may include a base 11, an air duct 12, a housing 13, an atomizing component 14, an electrode post 15, an insulating sealing ring 16, a first electrode claw 17, and a second electrode claw 18, which are coaxially assembled together.
[0054] In some embodiments, the base 11 may be cylindrical and conductive. In some embodiments, the vent 12 may also be conductive, longitudinally embedded in the upper part of the base 11 and electrically connected to it; the vent 12 defines a columnar atomizing chamber 120. In some embodiments, the housing 13 may be cylindrical, longitudinally sleeved on the upper part of the base 11 and surrounding the vent 12; an annular liquid storage chamber 130 is defined between the inner wall of the housing 13 and the outer wall of the vent 12. The vent 12 may also have an inlet hole 122 connecting the liquid storage chamber 130 and the atomizing chamber 120. In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 14 may be cylindrical and longitudinally disposed within the atomizing chamber 120; a longitudinally penetrating airflow channel may be formed in the middle of the atomizing assembly 14. The electrode post 15 is longitudinally inserted into the lower part of the base 11 and electrically insulated from the base 11. Specifically, an insulating sealing ring 16 is longitudinally provided in the lower part of the base 11, and the electrode post 15 is inserted into the insulating sealing ring 16 to achieve an insulated and sealed connection with the base 11. One end of the first electrode claw 17 is fixed to the inner wall of the air duct 12 and electrically connected to the air duct 12, and the other end is in elastic contact with the upper end of the atomizing component 14, thereby electrically connecting the upper end of the atomizing component 14 to the air duct 12. One end of the second electrode claw 18 is fixed to the electrode post 15 and electrically connected to the electrode post 15, and the other end is in elastic contact with the lower end of the atomizing component 14, thereby electrically connecting the lower end of the atomizing component 14 to the electrode post 15.
[0055] In some embodiments, the electrode post 15 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the battery device 2, and the base 11 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the battery device 2, thereby forming an electrical circuit. After current flows out through the positive terminal of the battery device 2, it sequentially passes through the electrode post 15 and the second electrode claw 18, reaches the lower end of the atomizing component 14, penetrates the atomizing component 14 and heats it up, then reaches the upper end of the atomizing component 14, and then sequentially passes through the first electrode claw 17, the ventilation pipe 12, and the base 11 before flowing back to the negative terminal of the battery device 2. Understandably, in some embodiments, the electrode post 15 and the base 11 may also be electrically connected to the negative and positive terminals of the battery device 2, respectively; in this case, the direction of the current is opposite to the aforementioned direction.
[0056] For example Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the base 11 may be integrally formed from metal material. It may include a circular base 111, a first mounting cylinder 112 longitudinally disposed on the upper surface of the base 111, and a second mounting cylinder 113 longitudinally disposed on the bottom surface of the base 111. A longitudinally penetrating through hole 1110 is provided in the middle of the base 111, which connects the first mounting cylinder 112 and the second mounting cylinder 113. The outer wall surface of the second mounting cylinder 113 forms a threaded structure 1131 for threaded engagement with the upper end of the battery device 2, and the inner wall surface forms a mounting ring 1132 that mates with the insulating sealing ring 16.
[0057] In some embodiments, the ventilation duct 12 may be integrally formed from a metal material. It may include a first pipe section 121, a second pipe section 123 axially connected to the upper end of the first pipe section 121, and a third pipe section 125 axially connected to the lower end of the first pipe section 121. The inner and outer diameters of the third pipe section 125, the first pipe section 121, and the second pipe section 123 decrease sequentially. The first pipe section 121 defines the atomizing chamber 120, and multiple liquid inlets 122 may be uniformly formed on the circumferential sidewall of the first pipe section 121. A retaining ring 1231 extending towards the central axis may be provided on the inner wall of the second pipe section 123 near the first pipe section 121 to provide an axial resisting force to the first electrode claw 17. The end face of the retaining ring 1231 near the first electrode claw 17 may be a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the second pipe section 123, while the end face away from the first electrode claw 17 may be a funnel-shaped conical surface. The outer diameter of the third pipe segment 125 is adapted to the inner diameter of the first mounting cylinder 112, so that the third pipe segment 125 is longitudinally embedded in the first mounting cylinder 112 and tightly fitted with the first mounting cylinder 112. The height of the third pipe segment 125 is approximately the same as the height of the first mounting cylinder 112. In some embodiments, to facilitate the embedding of the third pipe segment 125 into the first mounting cylinder 112, a guide portion 1251 is also formed inwardly on the outer wall surface of the third pipe segment 125 near its lower end. The outer diameter of the guide portion 1251 is smaller than that of the first mounting cylinder 112.
[0058] In some embodiments, the housing 13 may be made of a transparent material, and its inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the first mounting cylinder 112 so that the housing 13 can be sleeved onto the first mounting cylinder 112 along the axial direction and fit tightly with the first mounting cylinder 112. The upper end face of the housing 13 may be slightly lower than the upper end face of the second tube section 123 to better match the nozzle assembly 20. The inner wall surface of the housing 13 and the inner wall surfaces of the first tube section 121 and the second tube section 123 define the aforementioned liquid storage cavity 130, and an annular liquid injection port 132 is formed between the upper end of the housing 13 and the upper end of the second tube section 123.
[0059] In some embodiments, the atomizing component 14 may include a longitudinally arranged cylindrical atomizing core 141, a first sealing ring 142 sleeved on the upper end of the atomizing core 141, and a second sealing ring 143 sleeved on the lower end of the atomizing core 141.
[0060] The first sealing ring 142 may have an L-shaped cross-section for sealing the gap between the upper end of the atomizing core 141 and the upper end of the first tube segment 121. In some embodiments, the first sealing ring 142 may include a cylindrical first sealing portion 1421 and an annular second sealing portion 1423 connected to the upper edge of the first sealing portion 1421. The first sealing portion 1421 is sleeved on the outer wall surface of the upper end of the atomizing core 141, and the second sealing portion 1423 covers the upper end surface of the atomizing core 141. The inner diameter of the second sealing portion 1423 is preferably larger than the aperture of the atomizing core 141 so that the first electrode claw 17 is not blocked by the second sealing portion 1423 when it mates with the atomizing core 141.
[0061] The second sealing ring 143 may also have an L-shaped cross-section for sealing the gap between the lower end of the atomizing core 141 and the third tube section 125. In some embodiments, the second sealing ring 143 may include a cylindrical third sealing portion 1431 and an annular fourth sealing portion 1432 connected to the lower edge of the third sealing portion 1431. The third sealing portion 1431 is fitted onto the outer wall surface of the lower end of the atomizing core 141, and the fourth sealing portion 1432 covers the lower end surface of the atomizing core 141. The middle part of the outer wall surface of the atomizing core 141 may be directly opposite the liquid inlet hole 122. A longitudinally penetrating central through hole 1410 is formed in the middle of the atomizing core 141. The inner diameter of the fourth sealing portion 1432 is preferably larger than the hole diameter of the atomizing core 141 so that the second electrode claw 18 will not be blocked by the fourth sealing portion 1432 when it mates with the atomizing core 141.
[0062] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the first sealing ring 142 is formed with a labyrinthine first ventilation groove 1420, which penetrates the inner wall surfaces of the first sealing portion 1421 and the second sealing portion 1423. The size of the first ventilation groove 1420 can be designed to be small enough to have capillary force during use, enabling it to connect the liquid storage chamber 130 with the airflow channel in the vent pipe 12 when the liquid storage chamber 130 is under a large negative pressure, thereby achieving gas-liquid balance and preventing dry burning. In some embodiments, the second sealing ring 143 may also have a labyrinthine second ventilation groove 1430 on its inner wall surface, which penetrates the inner wall surfaces of the third sealing portion 1431 and the fourth sealing portion 1432, and has the same function as the first ventilation groove 1420. In some embodiments, the first sealing ring 142 and the second sealing ring 143 have the same structure and can be interchangeable, thereby facilitating automated installation and saving on the molding cost of the sealing rings.
[0063] Understandably, either the first sealing ring 142 or the second sealing ring 143 can be configured with a ventilation structure, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. When only the first sealing ring 142 has a ventilation structure, if liquid leaks from the first ventilation groove 1420 of the first sealing ring 142, some of the leaked liquid will flow down from the upper end of the atomizing core 141 and be absorbed by the atomizing core 141 for re-atomization. When only the second sealing ring 143 has a ventilation structure, although possible leaks may easily flow into the base 11, the airflow direction in the airflow channel is from bottom to top, making air replenishment via the second sealing ring 143 smoother. In some embodiments, the sealing silicone of the second sealing ring 143 at the lower end is thicker, that is, the distance from the surface of the second sealing ring 143 in contact with the atomizing core 141 to the surface in contact with the ventilation pipe 12 can better seal the lower end of the atomizing core 141 through interference fit, thereby preventing leakage. The comparison between the two is made with the thickness of the corresponding part of the first sealing ring 142.
[0064] See also Figure 8 In some embodiments, the atomizing core 141 may include a cylindrical porous body 1411, a heating element 1412 disposed on the inner wall of the porous body 1411, a first electrode 1413 disposed on the upper end of the inner wall of the porous body 1411 and electrically connected to the upper end of the heating element 1412, and a second electrode 1414 disposed on the lower end of the inner wall of the porous body 1411 and electrically connected to the lower end of the heating element 1412. In some embodiments, the porous body 1411 may be porous ceramic, and may be a small-sized porous body 1411. In some embodiments, the length of such a small-sized porous body 1411 may be 0.8-1.2 cm, and the inner diameter may be 0.18-0.22 cm.
[0065] In some embodiments, the heating element 1412 may be made of materials such as nickel-chromium alloy, iron-chromium-aluminum alloy, or silver-palladium alloy. It is printed or sprayed onto the inner surface of the porous body 1411 blank and then sintered to form the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411. It may include two flat, elongated, loop-shaped heating lines B arranged parallel to each other along the axial direction of the porous body 1411, and a connecting line C that connects the two lines in series. The length direction of the two heating lines B extends circumferentially along the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411, making the overall shape C. The heating element 1412 may also include an upper line D and a lower line A connected to the upper and lower ends, respectively, to be electrically connected to the first electrode 1413 and the second electrode 1414, respectively.
[0066] The first electrode 1413 and / or the second electrode 1414 may be made of materials such as silver or copper. Specifically, they may be formed on the inner wall surface of the cylindrical porous body 1411 by coating / printing with silver or copper paste and sintering, and at least partially connected to the heating element 1412. In some embodiments, the first electrode 1413 and / or the second electrode 1414 may be C-shaped. Typically, the paste of the heating element 1412 is first printed onto the blank of the porous body 1411, followed by the printing or coating of electrode paste, and then sintered together. In some embodiments, the width of the notch of the first electrode 1413 may be smaller than the width of the conductive portion 173 so that it is electrically in contact with all the conductive portions 173 of the first electrode claw 17; the width of the notch of the second electrode 1414 may be smaller than the width of the conductive portion 183 so that it is electrically connected to all the conductive portions 183 of the second electrode claw 18. Understandably, the heating element 1412 may also be made of a metal heating element in some embodiments, and the porous body 1411 is limited to porous ceramic materials, although other suitable porous materials may also be used. Understandably, the first electrode 1413 and / or the second electrode 1414 are not limited to being C-shaped distributed at the end of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411, but may also be distributed over the entire circumference of the end of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411, i.e., in a ring shape.
[0067] The aforementioned arrangement of the first electrode 1413 and / or the second electrode 1414 eliminates the need for opening holes in the porous body 1411 to thread leads. This results in a more complete, controllable, and robust internal structure of the porous body 1411, thus ensuring excellent product consistency. Furthermore, the elimination of leads reduces manufacturing difficulty and production costs. This advantage is particularly significant when applied to miniaturized porous bodies 1411.
[0068] In some embodiments, it is also beneficial to dispose of the first electrode 1413 and the second electrode 1414 at both ends of the inner wall surface of the small-sized porous body 1411. Because the inner wall area of the miniaturized porous body 1411 is very small, if two electrodes are disposed at one end, the area of the two electrodes is too small to facilitate the establishment of a stable electrical connection with the electrode connector, and short circuit problems are also likely to occur. By disposing of the first electrode 1413 and the second electrode 1414 at both ends, it is convenient to deploy the first electrode 1413 and the second electrode 1414, and the area of the first electrode 1413 and the second electrode 1414 can be larger, which facilitates the establishment of a stable electrical connection with the electrode connector.
[0069] For example Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the electrode post 15 includes a central hole 150 extending upward from its lower end surface, an vent 152 formed on the top sidewall, and a groove 154 formed on the sidewall surface. The vent 152 communicates with the central hole 150 for air intake. The groove 154 is used to engage with the insulating sealing ring 16. The outer wall surface of the insulating sealing ring 16 forms a groove 160 for engaging with the mounting ring 1132 of the base 11.
[0070] In some embodiments, the first electrode claw 17 may be made of materials such as phosphor bronze or 316 stainless steel, and its surface may be plated with a gold plating layer. The first electrode claw 17 is preferably made of phosphor bronze, as phosphor bronze has relatively low impedance. The first electrode claw 17 may include a mounting portion 171 embedded in the inner wall of the second pipe section 123, three extension portions 172 connected to the mounting portion 171, and three conductive portions 173 respectively connected to the three extension portions 172. Each extension portion 172 and its corresponding conductive portion 173 form an elastic conductive arm of the first electrode claw 17. It is understood that the number of elastic conductive arms of the first electrode claw 17 is not limited to three; one or more are possible. Having multiple elastic conductive arms makes the electrical connection more reliable and assembly more convenient.
[0071] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 171 may be cylindrical, having a longitudinal break 1710 extending through both sides. The presence of this break 1710 allows for deformation during installation, ensuring better fixation of the mounting portion 171 to the inner wall of the second pipe segment 123. Specifically, a trumpet-shaped guide surface 1210 is provided at the junction of the second pipe segment 123 and the first pipe segment 121. During the axial insertion of the first electrode claw 17 into the second pipe segment 123, this guide surface 1210 applies a radially inward component force to the mounting portion 171 of the first electrode claw 17, causing the break 1710 of the mounting portion 171 to close, reducing its outer diameter, and allowing it to be inserted into the second pipe segment 123. After installation, the mounting portion 171 provides a reaction force to the inner wall of the second pipe segment 123, thereby securely fixing it to the second pipe segment 123. Understandably, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 171 may also be integrally formed with the second pipe segment 123. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 171 may be axially embedded into the upper end of the central through hole 1410 of the atomizing core 141 and elastically abutted against and fixed with the first electrode 1413, while the elastic conductive arm extends out and elastically contacts the ventilation pipe 12.
[0072] In some embodiments, the extension 172 may be strip-shaped and have good elasticity. It extends from the mounting portion 171, first curving towards the central axis of the mounting portion 171 for a distance, and then extends parallel to the central axis of the mounting portion 171 in a direction away from the mounting portion 171. This provides space for the conductive portion 173 to bend away from the central axis of the mounting portion 171 and provides good elasticity. Preferably, there are two or more extensions 172 to ensure a more reliable electrical connection. When there are multiple extensions 172, they are preferably evenly distributed on the lower edge of the mounting portion 171 and extend downwards. Specifically, the extension 172 extends obliquely from the mounting portion 171 towards the central axis of the mounting portion 171 for a distance, and then extends parallel to the central axis in a direction away from the mounting portion 171. Each extension 172 has a conductive portion 173 at its end for elastic contact with the first electrode 1413 of the atomizing core 141. In some embodiments, the conductive portion 173 may be spoon-shaped. Specifically, the conductive portion 173 first extends obliquely away from the central axis of the mounting portion 171, and then bends and extends obliquely towards the central axis. The inclined surface of the spoon-shaped structure is inclined inward, thus having a guiding function. The bottom of the spoon-shaped structure is rounded, which allows for better contact with the first electrode 1413 of the atomizing core 141, and prevents scratching of the first electrode 1413 during assembly. The vertical distance from the bottom of the conductive portion 173 to the central axis is slightly larger than the radius of the central through hole 1410 of the atomizing core 141 at the location of the first electrode 1413. This is so that when the conductive portion 173 is axially inserted into the central through hole 1410, due to the inward inclined surface of the conductive portion 173, the force exerted by the atomizing core 141 on the conductive portion 173 has a component force in the direction of the central axis, causing the extension portion 172 to elastically deform in the direction of the central axis, allowing the conductive portion 173 to be inserted. After the conductive part 173 is inserted into the central through hole 1410, the elastic force of the extension part 172 makes the conductive part 173 maintain close contact with the first electrode 1413.
[0073] In some embodiments, the second electrode claw 18 may be made of materials such as phosphor bronze or 316 stainless steel, and its surface may be plated with a gold plating layer. The second electrode claw 18 is preferably made of phosphor bronze, as phosphor bronze has relatively low impedance. The second electrode claw 18 may include a mounting portion 181 sleeved on the upper part of the electrode post 15, an extension portion 182 connected to the mounting portion 181, and a conductive portion 183 connected to the extension portion 182. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 181 may be cylindrical, having a longitudinal break 1810 extending through both sides. The presence of this break 1810 allows for deformation during installation, ensuring better fixation of the mounting portion 181 to the upper part of the electrode post 15. Understandably, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 181 may also be integrally connected to the electrode post 15. In some embodiments, the extension 182 may be strip-shaped and have good elasticity. Preferably, there are two or more extensions 182 to ensure a more reliable electrical connection. When there are multiple extensions 182, they are preferably evenly distributed along the lower edge of the mounting portion 181 and extend downwards. Each extension 182 has a conductive portion 183 at its end for elastic contact with the second electrode 1414 of the atomizing core 141. In some embodiments, the conductive portion 183 may be spoon-shaped, with the inclined surface of the spoon facing inwards for guiding purposes. The bottom of the spoon shape has a rounded transition, allowing for better contact with the second electrode 1414 of the atomizing core 141 and preventing scratching of the second electrode 1414 during assembly. In some embodiments, the second electrode claw 18 may have the same structure as the first electrode claw 17, and both can be interchangeable, thus reducing assembly difficulty and cost.
[0074] The following steps can be used when assembling the atomizing body 10:
[0075] (1) Provide a base 11, an electrode post 15, an insulating sealing ring 16 and a second electrode claw 18. Install the electrode post 15 into the second mounting cylinder 113 of the base 11 through the insulating sealing ring 16, and then attach the second electrode claw 18 to the top of the electrode post 15 to form a base assembly. At this time, the conductive part 183 of the second electrode claw 18 extends upward.
[0076] (2) Provide the ventilation pipe 12 shown in the figure and the first electrode claw 17, and embed the first electrode claw 17 into the second pipe section 123 of the ventilation pipe 12, with the conductive part 173 of the first electrode claw 17 extending downward.
[0077] (3) Provide an atomizing core 141, a first sealing ring 142 and a second sealing ring 143, and respectively fit the first sealing ring 142 and the second sealing ring 143 onto the upper and lower ends of the atomizing core 141 to form an atomizing assembly 14;
[0078] (4) Insert the atomizing component 14 into the ventilation pipe 12 from bottom to top. The first electrode 1413 of the atomizing core 141 makes conductive contact with the conductive part 173 of the first electrode claw 17, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first electrode 1413 of the atomizing core 141 and the ventilation pipe 12, thus forming a ventilation pipe assembly.
[0079] (5) The ventilation pipe assembly is inserted into the first mounting cylinder 112 at the top of the base assembly, so as to achieve a tight fit and electrical connection between the ventilation pipe 12 and the base 11. In addition, the conductive part 183 of the second electrode claw 18 contacts and conducts with the second electrode 1414 of the atomizing core 141.
[0080] (6) Provide housing 13 and fit housing 13 onto the outside of first mounting cylinder 112 to realize the assembly of atomizing body 10.
[0081] In the assembly steps of the atomizing body 10 described above, the first electrode claw 17 and the second electrode claw 18 achieve rapid electrical contact and conduction between the components. Compared with related technologies that achieve this through wire welding, this method is more convenient and faster, and makes it easier to automate the product assembly. It is understood that the numbers preceding the steps are for ease of description and do not indicate the order of the steps. For example, in actual assembly, the ventilation duct assembly can be constructed first, followed by the base assembly.
[0082] For example Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the nozzle assembly 20 may include an annular sealing portion 21 and a flat nozzle portion 22 connected to the annular sealing portion 21. The annular sealing portion 21 is used to embed into the annular liquid injection port 132 at the upper end of the atomizing body 10. The nozzle portion 22 has a longitudinal air guide hole 220 in the middle, which is used to communicate with the upper end of the second section 123 of the air passage 12 to discharge the mixture of aerosol and air.
[0083] The atomizer 1 is an assembly type. First, liquid aerosol generating matrix is injected into the liquid storage chamber 130 of the atomizing body 10 through the injection port 132. After filling, the mouthpiece assembly 20 is inserted into the injection port 132 to seal the liquid storage chamber 130, and the air guide hole 220 of the mouthpiece assembly 20 is connected to the air passage 12. At this time, the liquid aerosol generating matrix reaches the vicinity of the atomizing core 141 through the liquid inlet hole 122. The porous body 1411 of the atomizing core 141 draws the liquid aerosol generating matrix to its inner surface through capillary force, bringing it into contact with the heating element 1412. During use, the atomizing assembly 14 is installed on the battery device 2. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece 22, outside air... Figure 3As indicated by arrow X, the atomizer enters through the central hole 150 of the electrode post 15, passes through the through hole 1110 of the base 11, enters the central through hole 1410 of the atomizing core 141, and is then exited through the air duct 220 of the mouthpiece assembly 20. Simultaneously, the air switch (not shown) in the battery device 2 is turned on, driving the battery device 2 to supply power to the atomizer 1. When the heating element 1412 of the atomizing core 141 is powered on, it heats up, atomizing the liquid aerosol generation matrix on the inner surface of the porous body 1411 to form an aerosol. This aerosol mixes with the air flowing through the central through hole 1410 and is then carried out by the airflow.
[0084] Figures 9 to 11 The atomizing body 10a in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. The housing is omitted in the illustration. This atomizing body 10a can be used as an alternative to the atomizing body 10 described above. As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizing body 10a may include a base 11a, a ventilation duct 12a, an atomizing component 14a, an electrode post 15a, an insulating sealing ring 16a, a first electrode claw 17a, and a second electrode claw 18a, all coaxially assembled together. In some embodiments, the base 11a may be cylindrical and conductive. In some embodiments, the ventilation duct 12a may also be conductive, and it is longitudinally disposed on the upper part of the base 11a and electrically connected to the base 11a; the ventilation duct 12a defines a columnar atomizing chamber 120a. A liquid inlet 122a may also be formed on the ventilation duct 12a to connect the liquid storage chamber and the atomizing chamber 120a. In some embodiments, the atomizing component 14a may be cylindrical and longitudinally disposed within the atomizing chamber 120a; a longitudinally penetrating airflow channel may be formed in the middle of the atomizing component 14a. The electrode post 15a is longitudinally inserted through the lower part of the base 11a and electrically insulated from the base 11a; specifically, an insulating sealing ring 16a is longitudinally disposed at the lower part of the base 11a, and the electrode post 15a is inserted through this insulating sealing ring 16a, thereby achieving an insulated and sealed connection with the base 11a. One end of the first electrode claw 17a is fixed to the inner wall of the ventilation pipe 12a and electrically connected to the ventilation pipe 12a, while the other end elastically contacts the upper end of the atomizing component 14a, thus electrically connecting the upper end of the atomizing component 14a to the ventilation pipe 12a. One end of the second electrode claw 18a is embedded in the electrode post 15a and electrically connected to the electrode post 15a, while the other end is in elastic contact with the lower end of the atomizing component 14a, thus electrically connecting the lower end of the atomizing component 14a to the electrode post 15a.
[0085] In some embodiments, electrode post 15a is electrically connected to the positive terminal of battery device 2, and base 11a is electrically connected to the negative terminal of battery device 2a, thereby forming an electrical circuit. After current flows out through the positive terminal of battery device 2a, it sequentially passes through electrode post 15a and the second electrode claw 18a, reaches the lower end of atomizing component 14a, penetrates the atomizing component 14a and heats it, then reaches the upper end of the atomizing component 14a, and then sequentially passes through the first electrode claw 17a, the ventilation channel 12a, and the base 11a before flowing back to the negative terminal of battery device 2a. Understandably, in some embodiments, electrode post 15a and base 11a may also be electrically connected to the negative and positive terminals of battery device 2, respectively; in this case, the direction of current is opposite to the aforementioned direction.
[0086] In some embodiments, the base 11a may be integrally formed from a metal material. It may include a circular base 111a and a second mounting cylinder 113a longitudinally disposed on the bottom surface of the base 111a. A longitudinally penetrating through hole 1110a is provided in the center of the base 111a, connecting the first section 121a of the ventilation pipe 12a to the second mounting cylinder 113a. An mounting ring 1132a is formed on the inner wall of the second mounting cylinder 113a to mate with the insulating sealing ring 16a. An air inlet hole 1130a is also formed on the side wall of the second mounting cylinder 113a.
[0087] In some embodiments, the ventilation duct 12a may include a first tube segment 121a integrally formed with the base 11a and a second tube segment 123a axially embedded in the upper end of the first tube segment 121a and electrically connected to the first tube segment 121a. The first tube segment 121a defines the atomizing chamber 120a, and there may be multiple liquid inlet holes 122a, which are uniformly formed on the circumferential sidewall of the first tube segment 121a. A retaining ring 1231a may be provided on the inner wall surface of the second tube segment 123a near the first tube segment 121a to provide an axial resisting force to the first electrode claw 17a.
[0088] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 14a may include a longitudinally arranged cylindrical atomizing core 141a, a first sealing ring 142a fitted over the upper end of the atomizing core 141a, and a second sealing ring 143a fitted over the lower end of the atomizing core 141a. The first sealing ring 142a may have an L-shaped cross-section for sealing the gap between the upper end of the atomizing core 141a and the first tube segment 121a and the second tube segment 123a. The second sealing ring 143a may also have an L-shaped cross-section for sealing the gap between the lower end of the atomizing core 141a and the base 11a. The middle portion of the outer wall surface of the atomizing core 141a may be directly opposite the liquid inlet hole 122a. In some embodiments, the first sealing ring 142a and the second sealing ring 143a may have the same structure.
[0089] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the first sealing ring 142a is formed with a labyrinthine first ventilation groove 1420a. The size of the first ventilation groove 1420a can be designed to be small enough to have capillary force in use, so as to connect the liquid storage chamber with the airflow channel in the vent pipe 12a when the liquid storage chamber is under a large negative pressure, thereby achieving gas-liquid balance and preventing dry burning. In some embodiments, the second sealing ring 143a may also be provided with a labyrinthine second ventilation groove 1430a on its inner wall surface, having the same function as the first ventilation groove 1420a. It is understood that the ventilation groove can be provided for either the first sealing ring 142a or the second sealing ring 143a. In some embodiments, the first sealing ring 142a and the second sealing ring 143a may have the same structure and can be interchangeable.
[0090] For example Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizing core 141a may include a cylindrical porous body 1411a, a heating element 1412a disposed on the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411a, a first electrode 1413a disposed on the upper end of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411a and electrically connected to the upper end of the heating element 1412a, and a second electrode 1414a disposed on the lower end of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411a and electrically connected to the lower end of the heating element 1412a. In some embodiments, the structure of the atomizing core 141a may be exactly the same as the structure of the atomizing core 141 described above, and the two can be interchangeable.
[0091] In some embodiments, the electrode post 15a includes a central hole 150a extending downward from its upper end. In some embodiments, the electrode post 15a may include a bottom wall 155a to seal the central hole 150a, allowing the central hole 150a to contain leakage and prevent leakage to the outside. In some embodiments, a retaining ring 156a is further provided at the upper end of the inner wall surface of the central hole 150a to abut against the second electrode claw 18a. The outer wall surface of the insulating sealing ring 16a forms a groove 160a for engaging with the mounting ring 1132a of the base 11a.
[0092] In some embodiments, the first electrode claw 17a may be made of an elastic metal material, and may include a mounting portion 171a embedded in the inner wall of the second tube segment 123a, an extension portion 172a connected to the mounting portion 171a, and a conductive portion 173a connected to the extension portion 172a. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 171a may be cylindrical, having a longitudinal break 1710a extending through both the upper and lower edges. The presence of the break 1710a allows the mounting portion 171a to adapt to the error in the inner diameter of the second tube segment 123a, increasing its applicability. In some embodiments, the extension portion 172a may be strip-shaped, and preferably has three or more; these three or more extension portions 172a are evenly connected to the lower edge of the mounting portion 171a and extend downwards. Each extension portion 172a has a conductive portion 173a at its end for elastic contact with the first electrode 1413a of the atomizing core 141a, achieving conductivity and thus improving assembly efficiency. In some embodiments, the first electrode claw 17a may have the same structure as the first electrode claw 17 described above, and the two can be used interchangeably.
[0093] In some embodiments, the second electrode claw 18a may have the same structure as the first electrode claw 17a. It may also be made of an elastic metal material and includes a mounting portion 181a embedded in the central hole 150a of the electrode post 15a, an extension portion 182a connected to the mounting portion 181a, and a conductive portion 183a connected to the extension portion 182a. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 181a may be cylindrical, having a longitudinal break 1810a extending through both the upper and lower edges. The presence of the break 1810a allows the mounting portion 181a to accommodate dimensional errors in the central hole 150a of the electrode post 15a, increasing its applicability. In some embodiments, the extension portion 182a may be strip-shaped, and preferably has three or more portions; these three or more extension portions 182a are evenly connected to the lower edge of the mounting portion 181a and extend downwards. Each extension 182a has a conductive portion 183a at its end for elastic contact with the second electrode 1414a of the atomizing core 141a, thereby achieving conductivity and improving assembly efficiency. In some embodiments, the second electrode claw 18a may have the same structure as the second electrode claw 18 described above, and the two can be interchangeable.
[0094] The following steps can be used when assembling the atomizing body 10a:
[0095] (1) Provide a base 11a with a first pipe section 121a with a ventilation pipe 12a, an electrode post 15a, an insulating sealing ring 16a and a second electrode claw 18a. Install the electrode post 15a into the second mounting cylinder 113a of the base 11a through the insulating sealing ring 16a, and then embed the second electrode claw 18a into the top of the electrode post 15a to form a base assembly. At this time, the conductive part 183a of the second electrode claw 18a extends upward.
[0096] (2) Provide an atomizing core 141a, a first sealing ring 142a and a second sealing ring 143a, and respectively fit the first sealing ring 142a and the second sealing ring 143a onto the upper and lower ends of the atomizing core 141a to form an atomizing component 14a.
[0097] (3) Insert the atomizing component 14a into the first section 121a of the ventilation pipe 12a from top to bottom. The conductive part 183a of the second electrode claw 18a contacts and conducts with the second electrode 1414a of the atomizing core 141a, so as to realize the electrical connection between the second electrode 1414a of the atomizing core 141a and the electrode post 15a.
[0098] (4) Provide a second pipe section 123a of the ventilation pipe 12a and a first electrode claw 17a, and embed the first electrode claw 17a into the second pipe section 123a of the ventilation pipe 12a, with the conductive part 173a of the first electrode claw 17a extending downward to form a second pipe section assembly.
[0099] (5) The second tube assembly is embedded in the top of the first tube 121a, and the first electrode 1413a of the atomizing core 141a makes conductive contact with the conductive part 173a of the first electrode claw 17a, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first electrode 1413a of the atomizing core 141a and the ventilation pipe 12a.
[0100] In the above assembly steps of the atomizing body 10a, the first electrode claw 17a and the second electrode claw 18a realize electrical contact between the components. Compared with the related technologies that achieve this through wire welding, it is more convenient and faster to operate and easier to realize the automated assembly of the product.
[0101] Figures 12 to 14 Atomizing body 10b in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. This atomizing body 10b can be used as an alternative to the aforementioned atomizing body 10 and has the same appearance. As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizing body 10b may include a base 11b, an air duct 12b, a housing 13b, an atomizing assembly 14b, an electrode post 15b, an insulating sealing ring 16b, a first electrode claw 17b, and a second electrode claw 18b, all coaxially assembled together.
[0102] In some embodiments, the base 11b may be cylindrical and conductive. In some embodiments, the vent 12b may also be conductive, longitudinally embedded in the upper part of the base 11b and electrically connected to it; the vent 12b defines a columnar atomizing chamber 120b. In some embodiments, the housing 13b may be cylindrical, longitudinally sleeved on the upper part of the base 11b and surrounding the vent 12b; an annular liquid storage chamber 130b is defined between the inner wall of the housing 13b and the outer wall of the vent 12b. The vent 12b may also have an inlet hole 122b connecting the liquid storage chamber 130b and the atomizing chamber 120b. In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 14b may be cylindrical and longitudinally disposed within the atomizing chamber 120b; a longitudinally penetrating central through hole 1410b may be formed in the center of the atomizing assembly 14b. The electrode post 15b is longitudinally inserted into the lower part of the base 11b and electrically insulated from the base 11b. Specifically, an insulating sealing ring 16b is longitudinally provided in the lower part of the base 11b, and the electrode post 15b is inserted into the insulating sealing ring 16b to achieve an insulated and sealed connection with the base 11b. One end of the first electrode claw 17b is fixed to the upper end of the atomizing component 14b and electrically connected to the upper end of the atomizing component 14b, and the other end is in elastic contact with the inner wall of the air passage 12b, thereby electrically connecting the upper end of the atomizing component 14b to the air passage 12b. One end of the second electrode claw 18b is fixed to the lower end of the atomizing component 14b and electrically connected to the lower end of the atomizing component 14b, and the other end is in elastic contact with the electrode post 15b, thereby electrically connecting the lower end of the atomizing component 14b to the electrode post 15b.
[0103] In some embodiments, electrode post 15b is electrically connected to the positive terminal of battery device 2b, and base 11b is electrically connected to the negative terminal of battery device 2b, thereby forming an electrical circuit. Current flows through the positive terminal of battery device 2b, sequentially through electrode post 15b and the second electrode claw 18b, reaching the lower end of atomizing component 14b, passing through atomizing component 14b and heating it, then reaching the upper end of atomizing component 14b, and then sequentially passing through the first electrode claw 17b, ventilation channel 12b, and base 11b before flowing back to the negative terminal of battery device 2. Understandably, in some embodiments, electrode post 15b and base 11b may also be electrically connected to the negative and positive terminals of battery device 2b respectively; in this case, the direction of current is opposite to the aforementioned direction.
[0104] For example Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, the base 11b can be integrally formed from metal material. It may include a circular base 111b, a first mounting cylinder 112b longitudinally disposed on the upper surface of the base 111b, and a second mounting cylinder 113b longitudinally disposed on the bottom surface of the base 111b. A longitudinally penetrating through hole 1110b is provided in the middle of the base 111b, connecting the first mounting cylinder 112b and the second mounting cylinder 113b. The outer wall surface of the second mounting cylinder 113b forms a threaded structure 1131b for threaded engagement with the upper end of the battery device 2, and the inner wall surface forms a mounting ring 1132b that mates with the insulating sealing ring 16b. In some embodiments, the base 11b may have the same structure as the base 11 described above, and the two can be interchangeable.
[0105] In some embodiments, the ventilation duct 12b may be integrally formed from a metal material. It may include a first pipe segment 121b, a second pipe segment 123b axially connected to the upper end of the first pipe segment 121b, and a third pipe segment 125b axially connected to the lower end of the first pipe segment 121b. The inner and outer diameters of the third pipe segment 125b, the first pipe segment 121b, and the second pipe segment 123b decrease sequentially. The first pipe segment 121b defines the atomizing chamber 120b, and multiple liquid inlet holes 122b may be uniformly formed circumferentially on the sidewall of the first pipe segment 121b. The outer diameter of the third pipe segment 125b is adapted to the inner diameter of the first mounting cylinder 112b, so that the third pipe segment 125b is longitudinally embedded in the first mounting cylinder 112b and tightly fitted with it. The height of the third pipe segment 125b is approximately equal to the height of the first mounting cylinder 112b. In some embodiments, to facilitate the embedding of the third pipe segment 125b into the first mounting cylinder 112b, a guide portion 1251b is formed inwardly on the outer wall surface of the third pipe segment 125b near its lower end. The outer diameter of the guide portion 1251b is smaller than that of the first mounting cylinder 112b. In some embodiments, the inner wall surface at the junction of the first pipe segment 121b and the second pipe segment 123b may be provided with an outwardly inclined trumpet-shaped guide surface 1210b to cooperate with the conductive portion 173b of the first electrode claw 17b, facilitating smooth connection between the conductive portion 173b and the ventilation pipe 12b, and facilitating rapid assembly.
[0106] In some embodiments, the housing 13b may be made of a transparent material, and its inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the first mounting cylinder 112b so that the housing 13b can be sleeved onto the first mounting cylinder 112b along its lower end in the axial direction and fit tightly with the first mounting cylinder 112b. The upper end face of the housing 13b may be slightly lower than the upper end face of the second tube section 123b to better match the nozzle assembly 20. The inner wall surface of the housing 13b and the inner wall surfaces of the first tube section 121b and the second tube section 123b define the aforementioned liquid storage cavity 130b, and an annular liquid injection port 132b is formed between the upper end of the housing 13b and the upper end of the second tube section 123b.
[0107] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 14b may include a longitudinally arranged cylindrical atomizing core 141b, a first sealing ring 142b fitted onto the upper end of the atomizing core 141b, and a second sealing ring 143b fitted onto the lower end of the atomizing core 141b. The first sealing ring 142b may have an L-shaped cross-section for sealing the gap between the upper end of the atomizing core 141b and the upper end of the first tube segment 121b. The second sealing ring 143b may also have an L-shaped cross-section for sealing the gap between the lower end of the atomizing core 141b and the third tube segment 125b. The middle portion of the outer wall surface of the atomizing core 141b may be directly opposite the liquid inlet hole 122b. A longitudinally penetrating central through hole 1410b is formed in the middle of the atomizing core 141b.
[0108] See also Figure 15 In some embodiments, the atomizing core 141b may include a cylindrical porous body 1411b, a heating element 1412b disposed on the inner wall of the porous body 1411b, a first electrode 1413b disposed on the upper end of the porous body 1411b and electrically connected to the upper end of the heating element 1412b, and a second electrode 1414b disposed on the lower end of the porous body 1411b and electrically connected to the lower end of the heating element 1412b. In some embodiments, the heating element 1412b may be formed on the inner wall of the porous body 1411b by screen printing, printing or spraying heating film slurry onto the inner surface of the blank of the porous body 1411b and then sintering it to form a heating circuit. In some embodiments, it may be spirally distributed along the longitudinal direction of the porous body 1411b on the inner wall of the porous body 1411b.
[0109] In some embodiments, the first electrode 1413b and / or the second electrode 1414b may be formed on the surface of the cylindrical porous body 1411b by silver paste coating and sintering, and are at least partially connected to the heating element 1412b. In some embodiments, the first electrode 1413b includes a cylindrical first electrode portion M and an annular second electrode portion N connected to the upper edge of the first electrode portion M. The first electrode portion M is formed on the upper end of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411b and is connected to the upper end of the heating element 1412b. The second electrode portion N is formed on the upper end surface of the heating element 1412b and is connected to the first electrode claw 17b. In some embodiments, the second electrode 1414b includes a cylindrical third electrode portion P and an annular fourth electrode portion Q connected to the lower edge of the third electrode portion P. The third electrode portion P is formed on the lower end of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411b and is connected to the lower end of the heating element 1412b. The fourth electrode portion Q is formed on the lower end face of the heating element 1412b and is connected to the second electrode claw 18b. In some embodiments, the first electrode 1413b may not have the first electrode portion M, and the second electrode 1414b may not have the third electrode portion P. That is, both the first electrode 1413b and the second electrode 1414b are only provided on the end face of the porous body 1411b. This simplifies the electrode structure, simplifies the printing and coating processes, and provides greater convenience for diverse electrical connections, for example... Figure 21 The atomizing body 10d shown uses conductive silicone to achieve electrical connection.
[0110] For example Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the electrode post 15b includes a central hole 150b extending upward from its lower end, an air outlet 152b formed on the middle sidewall, and a groove 154b formed on the sidewall surface. The air outlet 152b communicates with the central hole 150b for air intake. The groove 154b is used to engage with the insulating sealing ring 16b. The outer wall surface of the insulating sealing ring 16b forms a groove 160b for engaging with the mounting ring 1132b of the base 11b. The upper end of the electrode post 15b preferably penetrates the through hole 1110b of the base 11b and extends to near the lower end of the atomizing core 141b to contact and conduct with the second electrode claw 18b disposed at the lower end of the atomizing core 141b.
[0111] In some embodiments, the first electrode claw 17b may be made of materials such as phosphor bronze or 316 stainless steel, and its surface may be plated with a gold coating. The first electrode claw 17b is preferably made of phosphor bronze, as phosphor bronze has relatively low impedance. The first electrode claw 17b may include a mounting portion 171b sandwiched between the upper end face of the atomizing core 141b and the first sealing ring 142b, an extension portion 172b connected to the mounting portion 171b, and a conductive portion 173b connected to the extension portion 172b. Each extension portion 172b and its corresponding conductive portion 173b form an elastic conductive arm of the first electrode claw 17b. It is understood that the number of elastic conductive arms of the first electrode claw 17b is not limited to three; one or more are possible. Having multiple elastic conductive arms makes the electrical connection more reliable and assembly more convenient.
[0112] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 171b may be an annular sheet and electrically contact the second electrode portion N of the first electrode 1413b. In some embodiments, the extension portion 172b may be strip-shaped and have good elasticity. Preferably, there are two or more extension portions 172b to ensure a more reliable electrical connection. When there are multiple extension portions 172b, they are preferably evenly distributed within the inner ring of the mounting portion 171b and extend upwards. Each extension portion 172b has a conductive portion 173b at its end for elastic contact with the vent pipe 12b. In some embodiments, the conductive portion 173b may be spoon-shaped, with the inclined surface of the spoon facing inwards for guiding purposes, and the bottom of the spoon-shaped portion rounded for better contact and conduction with the vent pipe 12b. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 171b also includes several first protrusions 174b protruding toward the upper end face of the atomizing core 141b. This is mainly because the annular plate-shaped mounting portion 171b is prone to burrs during manufacturing, which can make the contact between the mounting portion 171b and the upper end face of the atomizing core 141b unstable. Adding the first protrusions 174b can better contact the first electrode 1413b on the upper end face of the atomizing core 141b and improve consistency. Preferably, the number of first protrusions 174b is two to three, and they are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the mounting portion 171b.
[0113] In some embodiments, the second electrode claw 18b may be made of materials such as phosphor bronze or 316 stainless steel, and its surface may be plated with a gold coating. The second electrode claw 18b is preferably made of phosphor bronze, as phosphor bronze has relatively low impedance. The second electrode claw 18b may include a mounting portion 181b that clamps the lower end face of the atomizing core 141b between the atomizing core 141b and the second sealing ring 143b, an extension portion 182b connected to the mounting portion 181b, and a conductive portion 183b connected to the extension portion 182b. Each extension portion 182b and its corresponding conductive portion 183b form an elastic conductive arm of the second electrode claw 18b. It is understood that the number of elastic conductive arms of the second electrode claw 18b is not limited to three; one or more are possible. Having multiple elastic conductive arms makes the electrical connection more reliable and assembly more convenient.
[0114] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 181b may be an annular sheet and electrically contact the fourth electrode portion Q of the second electrode 1414b. In some embodiments, the extension portion 182b may be strip-shaped and have good elasticity. Preferably, there are two or more extension portions 182b to ensure a more reliable electrical connection. When there are multiple extension portions 182b, they are preferably evenly distributed within the inner ring of the mounting portion 181b and extend downwards. Each extension portion 182b has a conductive portion 183b at its end for elastic contact with the upper end of the electrode post 15b. In some embodiments, the conductive portion 183b may be spoon-shaped, with the inclined surface of the spoon facing outwards for guiding purposes. The bottom of the spoon shape has a rounded transition, allowing for better contact and conduction with the upper sidewall of the electrode post 15b. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 181b also includes several second protrusions 184b protruding toward the lower end face of the atomizing core 141b. This is mainly because the annular plate-shaped mounting portion 181b is prone to burrs during manufacturing, which can make the contact between the mounting portion 181b and the lower end face of the atomizing core 141b unstable. Adding the second protrusions 184b can better contact the second electrode 1414b on the lower end face of the atomizing core 141b and improve consistency. Preferably, the number of second protrusions 184b is two to three, and they are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the mounting portion 181b.
[0115] The following steps can be used when assembling the atomizing body 10b:
[0116] (1) Provide a base 11b, an electrode post 15b and an insulating sealing ring 16b, and install the electrode post 15b into the second mounting cylinder 113b of the base 11b through the insulating sealing ring 16b to form a base assembly;
[0117] (2) Provide an atomizing core 141b, a first sealing ring 142b, a second sealing ring 143b, a first electrode claw 17b, and a second electrode claw 18b; place the first electrode claw 17b on the upper end face of the atomizing core 141b, and then fit the first sealing ring 142b onto the upper end of the atomizing core 141b, so that the mounting portion 171b of the first electrode claw 17b is sandwiched between the upper end face of the atomizing core 141b and the first sealing ring 142b, and make the conductive portion 18b of the first electrode claw 17b... 73b extends upward from the inner ring of the first sealing ring 142b; the second electrode claw 18b is placed on the lower end face of the atomizing core 141b, and the second sealing ring 143b is sleeved on the lower end of the atomizing core 141b, so that the mounting part 181b of the second electrode claw 18b is sandwiched between the lower end face of the atomizing core 141b and the second sealing ring 143b, and the conductive part 183b of the second electrode claw 18b extends downward from the inner ring of the second sealing ring 143b; forming an atomizing core assembly;
[0118] (3) Provide a ventilation pipe 12b, and insert the above-mentioned atomizing core assembly into the first section 121b and the third section 125b of the ventilation pipe 12b. The conductive part 173b of the first electrode claw 17b makes contact with the junction of the first section 121b and the second section 123b to achieve electrical connection between the upper end of the atomizing core 141b and the ventilation pipe 12b; thus forming a ventilation pipe assembly.
[0119] (4) Insert the above-mentioned ventilation pipe assembly into the first mounting cylinder 112b at the top of the base assembly to achieve a tight fit and electrical connection between the ventilation pipe 12b and the base 11b. In addition, the conductive part 183b of the second electrode claw 18b contacts and conducts with the upper side wall of the electrode post 15b.
[0120] (5) Provide housing 13b, and fit housing 13b onto the outside of first mounting cylinder 112b to realize the assembly of atomizing body 10b.
[0121] In the assembly steps of the atomizing body 10b, the first electrode claw 17b and the second electrode claw 18b achieve quick electrical contact between the components. Compared with the related technologies that achieve this through wire welding, it is more convenient and faster to operate and easier to automate the product assembly.
[0122] Figures 16 to 19Atomizer 1c according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Atomizer 1c may include a base 11c, an air duct 12c, a housing 13c, an atomizing assembly 14c, a first electrode post 15c, a second electrode post 16c, a liquid injection device 17c, and a bottom shell 18c. The air duct 12c is longitudinally embedded in the upper part of the base 11c and defines a columnar atomizing chamber 120c. The housing 13c is longitudinally sleeved on the upper part of the base 11c and surrounds the air duct 12c. An annular liquid storage chamber 130c is defined between the inner wall surface of the housing 13c and the outer wall surface of the air duct 12c. An inlet hole 122c may also be formed on the air duct 12c to connect the liquid storage chamber 130c and the atomizing chamber 120c. In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 14c may be cylindrical and longitudinally disposed in the atomizing chamber 120c. A longitudinally penetrating airflow channel may be formed in the middle of the atomizing assembly 14c. The first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c are respectively inserted into the base 11c and electrically connected to the atomizing component 14c, thereby electrically connecting the positive and negative terminals of the battery device to the atomizing component 14c. The liquid injection device 17c is inserted into the base 11c, connecting the liquid storage chamber 130 to the outside environment, and injecting liquid aerogel into the liquid storage chamber 130 to generate a matrix. The bottom shell 18c is preferably made of a magnetic material, fitted onto the bottom of the base 11c and snapped into the shell 13c. The bottom shell 18c can also be attracted to a magnet on the battery device, thus achieving a detachable connection between the atomizer 1c and the battery device.
[0123] In some embodiments, the base 11c may be racetrack shaped, and may include a rigid lower seat 111c and a soft upper seat 112c sleeved on the upper part of the lower seat 111c and embedded therewith. In some embodiments, the lower seat 111c may be integrally molded from rigid plastic, and the upper seat 112c may be integrally molded from silicone.
[0124] In some embodiments, the top of the rigid lower seat 111c may be recessed to form a cylindrical receiving cavity 1110c for longitudinally embedding the ventilation pipe 12c therein. An air inlet 1112c extending to the bottom surface of the lower seat 111c is formed in the middle of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 1110c. The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 1110c may also include a first mounting hole 1113c and a second mounting hole 1114c extending to the bottom surface of the lower seat 111c, for embedding the lower ends of the first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c, respectively. The first mounting hole 1113c and the second mounting hole 1114c are distributed on the long axis of the lower seat 111c and located on opposite sides of the air inlet 1112c.
[0125] In some embodiments, the upper seat 112c may include a first sealing portion 1121c surrounding the vent pipe 12c, a second sealing portion 1122c surrounding the periphery of the lower seat 111c, and a third sealing portion 1123c surrounding the liquid injection device 17c. The first sealing portion 1121c is used to prevent liquid matrix from leaking from the joint between the base 11c and the vent pipe 12c, the second sealing portion 1122c is used to prevent liquid matrix from leaking from the joint between the base 11c and the inner wall of the housing 13c, and the third sealing portion 1123c is used to prevent liquid matrix from leaking from the joint between the base 11c and the outer wall of the liquid injection device 17c.
[0126] In some embodiments, the ventilation duct 12c may include a first pipe segment 121c longitudinally inserted into the top of the base 11c, a second pipe segment 123c axially connected to the upper end of the first pipe segment 121c, and a third pipe segment 125c axially connected to the upper end of the second pipe segment 123c. In some embodiments, the first pipe segment 121c and the second pipe segment 123c may both be cylindrical with equal diameters and integrally formed; a retaining ring 124c is provided between the inner walls of the first pipe segment 121c and the second pipe segment 123c. The third pipe segment 125c may be integrally connected to the housing 13c, with its lower end inserted into the upper end of the second pipe segment 123c, and the two are sealed by a sealing ring 126c. The first pipe segment 121c defines the aforementioned atomizing chamber 120c, and there may be multiple liquid inlet holes 122c, uniformly formed circumferentially on the side wall of the first pipe segment 121c. The inner wall of the second pipe section 123c near the first pipe section 121c may be provided with a retaining ring 1231c extending toward the central axis, which is used to provide an axial resisting force to the atomizing assembly 14c.
[0127] In some embodiments, the housing 13c may be made of a transparent material and has a generally parabolic shape. The lower end of the housing 13c has a racetrack-shaped opening that fits onto the base 11c. The upper end of the housing 13c has a flat suction nozzle with an opening 132c that connects to the third section 125c of the ventilation duct 12c.
[0128] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 14c may include a longitudinally arranged cylindrical atomizing core 141c, a first sealing ring 142c disposed at the upper end of the atomizing core 141c, and a second sealing ring 143c disposed at the lower end of the atomizing core 141c. The first sealing ring 142c is used to seal the gap between the upper end of the atomizing core 141c and the upper end of the first tube segment 121c. The second sealing ring 143c is used to seal the gap between the lower end of the atomizing core 141c and the lower end of the first tube segment 121c. The middle part of the outer wall surface of the atomizing core 141c may be directly opposite the liquid inlet hole 122c. A longitudinally penetrating central through hole 1410c is formed in the middle of the atomizing core 141c.
[0129] See also Figure 20 In some embodiments, the atomizing core 141c may include a cylindrical porous body 1411c, a first heating element 1412c and a second heating element 1415c disposed on the inner wall of the porous body 1411c, an electrical connection portion 1416c disposed on the upper end surface of the porous body 1411c and electrically connected to the upper ends of the first heating element 1412c and the second heating element 1415c, a first electrode 1413c disposed on the lower end surface of the porous body 1411c and electrically connected to the lower end of the first heating element 1412c, and a second electrode 1414c disposed on the lower end surface of the porous body 1411c and electrically connected to the lower end of the second heating element 1415c. It is understood that the porous body 1411c is not limited to a cylindrical shape; other cylindrical shapes such as square cylinders and elliptical cylinders are also applicable.
[0130] In some embodiments, the porous body 1411c may be made of porous ceramic. In some embodiments, the first heating element 1412c and the second heating element 1415c may be heating circuits, formed on the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411c by printing or spraying a heating film paste (silver paste or copper paste, etc.) onto the inner surface of the porous body 1411c blank, followed by sintering. In some embodiments, the first electrode 1413c, the second electrode 1414c, and the electrical connection portion 1416c may be formed by printing or spraying a conductive film paste such as silver paste onto the porous body blank, followed by sintering. It is understood that in some embodiments, the first heating element 1412c, the second heating element 1415c, the first electrode 1413c, the second electrode 1414c, and the electrical connection portion 1416c may also be formed by processing a heating metal sheet. In some embodiments, the first electrode 1413c and the second electrode 1414c may be fan-shaped, with a gap between them. The lower end face of the porous body 1411c is provided with a groove 1417c corresponding to the gap between the first electrode 1413c and the second electrode 1414c. In some embodiments, the electrical connection portion 1416c may be annular. In some embodiments, the lower end of the porous body 1411c has a larger diameter, which allows for better contact with the first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c, and also facilitates the creation of the groove 1417c to better separate the first electrode 1413c and the second electrode 1414c. In some embodiments, the first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c may be elastic pins.
[0131] In some embodiments, the first heating element 1412c may include a plurality of first heating strips distributed in parallel and spaced intervals along the longitudinal direction of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411c. These first heating strips constitute a first heating circuit arranged in parallel and spaced intervals, with their upper ends connected to the electrical connection portion 1416c and their lower ends connected to the first electrode 1413c. Each heating strip has a width of 0.1mm-0.6mm and a thickness of 0.02-0.2mm. In some embodiments, the second heating element 1415c may include a plurality of second heating strips distributed in parallel and spaced intervals along the longitudinal direction of the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411c. These second heating strips constitute a second heating circuit arranged in parallel and spaced intervals, with their upper ends connected to the electrical connection portion 1416c and their lower ends connected to the second electrode 1414c.
[0132] In some embodiments, the resistivity of the first heating element 1412c and the second heating element 1415c is greater than the resistivity of the first electrode 1413c, the second electrode 1414c, and the electrical connection portion 1416c. Preferably, the resistivity of the former is more than 20 times that of the latter. In some embodiments, the first heating element 1412c and the second heating element 1415c may be made of materials such as nickel-chromium alloy, iron-chromium-aluminum alloy, or silver-palladium alloy. They can be formed by screen printing or printing the heating element paste onto the inner surface of a porous preform, followed by sintering. It is understood that the circuitry of the first heating element 1412c and the second heating element 1415c is not limited to the illustrated pattern and can also be other suitable patterns.
[0133] In some embodiments, the second sealing ring 143c may include a first through hole 1431c, a second through hole 1432c, and two protruding ribs 1433c. Preferably, the line connecting the first through hole 1431c and the second through hole 1432c intersects perpendicularly with the line connecting the two protruding ribs 1433c. This allows the second sealing ring 143c to mate with the lower end of the porous body 1411c, with the first through hole 1431c and the second through hole 1432c respectively facing the first electrode 1413c and the second electrode 1414c. The first through hole 1431c and the second through hole 1432c are used to allow the upper ends of the first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c to pass through, respectively, so that the upper ends of the first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c make electrical contact with the first electrode 1413c and the second electrode 1414c, respectively. Therefore, when the first electrode post 15c and the second electrode post 16c are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery device, the current flowing from the positive terminal of the battery device will sequentially flow back to the negative terminal of the battery device through the first electrode post 15c, the first electrode 1413c, the first heating element 1412c, the electrical connection 1416c, the second heating element 1415c, the second electrode 1414c, and the second electrode post 16c, realizing the heating process of the first heating element 1412c and the second heating element 1415c. Compared with related technologies that require auxiliary conductivity through components such as a base and an air duct, the electrical circuit of this heating process allows for more flexible selection of materials for the base and air duct, which can be made of non-metallic materials. Therefore, the cost of the entire atomizer 1c can be significantly reduced. In addition, the automated production of the atomizer 1c is more convenient.
[0134] Figure 21 The atomizing body 10d in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. The atomizing body 10d can be an alternative to the atomizing body 10b described above. It may include a base 11d, an air duct 12d, a housing 13d, an atomizing component 14d, an electrode post 15d, and an insulating sealing ring 16d assembled coaxially. The structures of the base 11d, air duct 12d, housing 13d, electrode post 15d, and insulating sealing ring 16d can be the same as those of the base 11b, air duct 12b, housing 13b, electrode post 15b, and insulating sealing ring 16b of the atomizing body 10b, respectively, and will not be described again here. The main differences in structure between the two are: (1) the atomizing body 10d omits the first electrode claw 17b and the second electrode claw 18b compared to the atomizing body 10b; (2) the atomizing component 14d is different from the atomizing component 14b.
[0135] The atomizing assembly 14d may include a longitudinally arranged cylindrical atomizing core 141d, a first sealing ring 142d sleeved on the upper end of the atomizing core 141d, and a second sealing ring 143d sleeved on the lower end of the atomizing core 141d. The structure of the atomizing core 141d is the same as that of the atomizing core 141d in the atomizing assembly 14b. It may include a cylindrical porous body 1411d, a heating element 1412d disposed on the inner wall surface of the porous body 1411d, a first electrode 1413d disposed on the upper end surface of the porous body 1411d and electrically connected to the upper end of the heating element 1412d, and a second electrode 1414d disposed on the lower end surface of the porous body 1411d and electrically connected to the lower end of the heating element 1412d. The main structural differences between the two are: (1) the first sealing ring 142d is conductive, which has both sealing and conductive functions, and it can be made of conductive silicone; (2) the second sealing ring 143d is a composite sealing ring, the inner ring of which is conductive to be electrically connected to the electrode post 15d; the outer ring is non-conductive to electrically insulate the conductive inner ring from the conductive base 11d.
[0136] Based on the aforementioned structural differences, in the atomizing body 10d, the first electrode 1413d is electrically connected to the air passage 12d via the first sealing ring 142d, and the second electrode 1414d is electrically connected to the electrode post 15d via the conductive inner ring portion of the second sealing ring 143d. Compared to the atomizing body 10b, since no electrode claws extend into the airflow channel, the interference encountered by the airflow during its flow in the airflow channel is reduced, resulting in smoother airflow. Furthermore, omitting the first electrode claw 17b and the second electrode claw 18b reduces manufacturing costs, decreases assembly steps, and improves product stability.
[0137] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can freely combine the above-mentioned technical features without departing from the concept of the present invention, and can also make several modifications and improvements, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention; therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made with respect to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
