[0043] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description of this application will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] This application proposes an electronic atomizing device, which can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 As shown, it includes an atomizer 100 that stores a liquid matrix and vaporizes it to generate an aerosol, and a power supply mechanism 200 that supplies power to the atomizer 100.

[0045] In an alternative implementation, for example Figure 1 As shown, the power supply mechanism 200 includes a receiving cavity 270 disposed at one end along the length direction for receiving and accommodating at least a portion of the atomizer 100, and a first electrical contact 230 exposed at least partially on the surface of the receiving cavity 270 for electrically connecting with the atomizer 100 when at least a portion of the atomizer 100 is received and accommodated within the power supply mechanism 200, thereby supplying power to the atomizer 100.

[0046] according to Figure 1 In the preferred embodiment shown, a second electrical contact 21 is provided on the end of the atomizer 100 opposite to the power supply mechanism 200 along the length direction. When at least a portion of the atomizer 100 is received in the receiving cavity 270, the second electrical contact 21 becomes conductive by contacting and abutting against the first electrical contact 230.

[0047] A sealing element 260 is provided inside the power supply mechanism 200, and the sealing element 260 divides at least a portion of the internal space of the power supply mechanism 200 to form the receiving cavity 270. Figure 1In the preferred embodiment shown, the seal 260 is configured to extend along the cross-sectional direction of the power supply mechanism 200 and is made of a flexible material, thereby preventing the liquid matrix that seeps from the atomizer 100 into the receiving cavity 270 from flowing into components such as the controller 220 and sensor 250 inside the power supply mechanism 200.

[0048] exist Figure 1 In the preferred embodiment shown, the power supply mechanism 200 further includes a battery cell 210 located along its length near the other end relative to the receiving cavity 270 for power supply; and a controller 220 disposed between the battery cell 210 and the receiving cavity, the controller 220 being operable to guide current between the battery cell 210 and the first electrical contact 230.

[0049] In use, the power supply mechanism 200 includes a sensor 250 for sensing the suction airflow generated when inhaling through the mouthpiece cap 20 of the atomizer 100, and then the controller 220 controls the battery cell 210 to output current to the atomizer 100 according to the detection signal of the sensor 250.

[0050] Further in Figure 1 In the preferred embodiment shown, the power supply mechanism 200 is provided with a charging interface 240 at the other end away from the receiving cavity 270, for charging the battery cell 210 after connecting to an external charging device.

[0051] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the atomizer 100 in one embodiment of this application is shown. In this embodiment, the atomizer 100 is generally elongated and flat, having a proximal end 110 and a distal end 120 that are opposite to each other along its length. In use, the proximal end 110 is used for inhalation by the user's mouth, and the distal end 120 is received by the power supply mechanism 200. Its external structure includes:

[0052] The main shell 10 is a hollow cylindrical shape, with an open end near the distal end 120;

[0053] End cap 20 is arranged at the far end 120 of atomizer 100 and closes the opening of main housing 10, thus forming the complete atomizer 100 shell.

[0054] Further based on Figure 2 As shown, the second electrical contact 21 of the atomizer 100 extends from the distal end 120 into the interior and is at least partially exposed on the surface of the end cap 20, thereby facilitating electrical conduction with the power supply mechanism 200 during use. Simultaneously, the distal end 120 of the atomizer 100 is also provided with an air inlet 22 for allowing external air to enter the atomizer 100 during user inhalation.

[0055] In other alternative embodiments, the atomizer 100 is also provided with a magnetic element (not shown in the figure) extending from the distal end 120 into the interior, which magnetically attracts the atomizer 100 to the power supply mechanism 200 during use, thereby keeping the atomizer 100 stably within the power supply mechanism 200.

[0056] further Figures 3 to 5 It shows Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of the atomizer 100 and an exploded view of some components. According to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the atomizer 100 also includes:

[0057] The smoke output pipe 11 extends along the axial direction of the main housing 10, and its upper end is connected to the air intake port A located at the upper end of the main housing 100, thereby outputting the aerosol generated in the atomizer 100 to the air intake port A for inhalation.

[0058] The liquid storage chamber 12 is formed by the space between the flue gas outlet pipe 11 and the inner wall of the main shell 10, and is used to store the liquid matrix.

[0059] The atomizing assembly 30 is used to draw a liquid matrix from the liquid storage chamber 12 through capillary wetting, and to heat and vaporize the drawn liquid matrix to generate an aerosol for inhalation. Specifically, the atomizing assembly 30 includes a liquid guiding element 31 and a heating element 32 that at least partially surrounds the liquid guiding element 31. (Refer to Figure 3 and...) Figure 4 As shown, the liquid guiding element 31 is configured to extend along the width direction of the main housing 10, and its two ends are exposed or in fluid communication with the liquid storage chamber 12, the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 12 along... Figure 4 The liquid is absorbed from both ends of the liquid guiding element 31 and then transferred inward, as indicated by the middle arrow R1. The heating element 32 surrounds or wraps around at least a portion of the liquid guiding element 31 to heat at least a portion of the liquid matrix within the liquid guiding element 31 to generate an aerosol for absorption.

[0060] In optional implementations, the liquid guiding element 31 may be made of or include porous ceramic bodies, fiber cotton, fiber rope, porous materials, etc.; the heating element 32 may be made of resistive metallic materials, such as iron, nickel, chromium, or their alloys, etc.

[0061] See further Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the atomizing assembly 30 is assembled and fixed within the main housing 10 by a rigid upper support 40 and a flexible lower support 50. See details... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the upper support 40 is provided with an extended clamping arm 44, which abuts or clamps the atomizing component 30 against the lower support 50. At the same time, the upper support 40 is provided with a first cavity 43 facing the lower support 50, and the lower support 50 is provided with a second cavity 52 facing the upper support 40. After assembly, the first cavity 43 and the second cavity 52 together form an atomizing chamber that surrounds or surrounds the atomizing component 30 and accommodates the released aerosol.

[0062] exist Figure 4 In the preferred embodiment shown, the lower support 50 is also provided with a receiving groove 51 opposite to the end of the liquid guiding element 31, for receiving the liquid matrix that seeps out from the end of the liquid guiding element 31.

[0063] To facilitate sealing the gap between the upper support 40 and the liquid storage chamber 12, the atomizer 100 also includes a sealing element 60, at least partially located between the upper support 40 and the liquid storage chamber 12, thereby sealing the liquid storage chamber 12. After installation, the liquid guiding element 31 and the heating element 32 are mainly housed within the atomization chamber, thus enabling the generated aerosol to be released into the atomization chamber and output from the atomization chamber to the flue gas output pipe 11 through the first insertion hole 61 on the sealing element 60.

[0064] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the second recess 52 of the lower support 50 is also provided with a hole 53 opposite to the air inlet 22 on the end cover 20. External air entering through the air inlet 22 enters the atomizing chamber through the hole 53.

[0065] In terms of the airflow design for aerosol output, the upper bracket 40 is provided with a second insertion hole 41; the end of the flue gas output pipe 11 passes through the first insertion hole 61 on the sealing element 60 and is further inserted into the second insertion hole 41. The upper bracket 40 has output channels 45 on both sides along its thickness direction, allowing the aerosol in the atomization chamber to pass through... Figure 3 and Figure 6 The output is shown by the middle arrow R2 to the flue gas output pipe 11.

[0066] To facilitate the liquid guiding of the atomizing assembly 30, the sealing element 60 is provided with a first liquid guiding hole 62 for the liquid matrix to flow to the upper support 40. The upper support 40 is also provided with a second liquid guiding hole 42. During use, the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 12 is sequentially transferred to the atomizing assembly 30 through the first liquid guiding hole 62 and the second liquid guiding hole 42 to be absorbed and vaporized.

[0067] Further in Figure 8 and Figure 9In the preferred embodiment shown, the upper bracket 40 is provided with a laterally extending shielding portion 46, which defines the first recess 43. The shielding portion 46 covers the heating element 32 in its projection along the longitudinal direction of the atomizer 100, thereby shielding large droplets formed by spitting oil during the heating process of the heating element 32, and also blocking condensate and other liquids in the atomizing chamber, preventing them from flowing directly to the smoke output pipe 11.

[0068] See further Figures 6 to 9 In the preferred embodiment shown, the flue gas outlet pipe 11 is inserted into the lower end of the upper bracket 40 and has at least one notch 111. The upper bracket 40 is provided with a protruding ridge 47 that matches the notch 111. Specifically... Figure 8 In the atomizer 100, the convex ridge 47 extends longitudinally and has two parts of different widths: a first part 471 closer to the smoke output pipe 11 and a second part 472 further away from the smoke output pipe 11; the first part 471 is narrower than the second part 472, and is thinner in shape. Figure 9 In the embodiment shown, the first portion 471 has a width of approximately 0.3 to 0.8 mm, and the second portion 472 has a width of approximately 0.8 to 1.5 mm. The notch 111 has a width of approximately 1.2 mm.

[0069] See the assembled form. Figure 9 As shown, the first part 471 extends at least partially into the notch 111 at the lower end of the flue gas outlet pipe 11; while the second part 472 is located outside the notch 111. Simultaneously, after assembly, the two side surfaces of the first part 471 do not contact the two side surfaces of the notch 111, and according to... Figure 9 A certain distance is maintained between the first part 471 and the two side surfaces of the notch 111. This distance is further controlled to be less than 2mm, thereby forming a longitudinally extending capillary channel 80. In use, when the aerosol condensate formed on the inner wall of the flue gas output pipe 11 falls or flows downward to the lower end due to gravity, the capillary adsorption and guiding force of the capillary channel 80 guides the condensate at the lower end of the flue gas output pipe 11 downward into the support 40, thereby preventing the condensate from accumulating on the inner wall or lower end of the flue gas output pipe 11 and alleviating or eliminating the problem of condensate being drawn in.

[0070] See further Figure 8 In the preferred embodiment shown, the lower end of the protrusion 47 is connected to the shielding portion 46, thereby allowing the condensate absorbed and conducted by the capillary channel 80 to drip onto the shielding portion 46. Figure 8 and Figure 9In the preferred embodiment shown, the shielding portion 46 is arc-shaped, so the condensate that subsequently flows onto the shielding portion 46 is guided downwards from the arc-shaped upper surface into the atomizing chamber, as shown. Figure 9 As indicated by the middle arrow R3.

[0071] exist Figure 8 In the preferred embodiment shown, the extension length of the second portion 472 is greater than that of the first portion 471. In this embodiment, the length of the second portion 472 is approximately 3 mm, and the length of the first portion 471 is approximately 2 mm.

[0072] In further alternative embodiments, the ridge 47 also includes a flow-guiding groove 473 defined by the second portion 472 and the wall of the upper support 40. Figure 8 The part where the second part 472 is joined to the upper support 40 has a flow guide groove 473. This flow guide groove 473 further helps to quickly guide the condensate transmitted by the capillary channel 80 to the shielding part 46, preventing the condensate from being adsorbed and retained in the capillary channel 80 between the first part 471 and the flue gas output pipe 11.

[0073] In other variations, the atomizing component 30 can also be an atomizing component of other commonly used porous ceramics; the porous ceramic can be, for example, a porous ceramic body with a transversely penetrating liquid channel as proposed in the applicant's patent No. 201920645593.5, or a commonly used cup-shaped ceramic with grooves on its upper surface. During assembly, the upper support 50 also accommodates and holds the component, and transfers the liquid matrix to the porous ceramic body.

[0074] In other alternative or varied implementations, the ridge 47 can be varied in other shapes and positions. For example... Figure 10 The diagram shows another upper support 50a with a protruding ridge 47a. Figure 10 The convex ridge 47a has a greater than Figure 8 The convex ridge 47 is larger in size. In terms of shape, it also has a first part 471a and a second part 472a, while the part where the second part 472a joins the wall 400a of the upper support 40a forms a longitudinally extending guide groove 473a, which transfers the condensate downward more quickly.

[0075] The first part 471a is closer to the center than the first part 471, and it is not in contact with the wall 400a of the upper support 40a, thus forming a receiving space 4711a between them. After assembly, the notch 111 at the lower end of the flue gas output pipe 11 extends into this receiving space 4711a, which further expands the space of the capillary channel 80 between the ridge 47a and the flue gas output pipe 11, which is advantageous for receiving and accommodating more aerosol condensate. Similarly, after assembly, a portion of the first part 471a still extends into the notch 111 of the flue gas output pipe 11 with a certain gap, forming a capillary channel for absorbing and transferring condensate at the lower end of the flue gas output pipe 11.

[0076] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of a flue gas outlet pipe 11a fabricated within the main housing 10a according to yet another embodiment is shown. Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the flue gas output pipe 11a is flat, preferably elliptical; and the ellipse has its major axis B1 along the width direction of the main housing 10a and its minor axis B2 along the thickness direction of the main housing 10a. Consequently, the condensate in the flue gas output pipe 11a tends to accumulate at the end with a larger curvature along the major axis B1. Furthermore, the end of the flue gas output pipe 11a is provided with a second notch 112a near at least one side along the width direction of the main housing 10a. This second notch 112a creates a hollow space at the end with a larger curvature along the major axis B1, thereby eliminating the accumulation of condensate at this location and directing it to accumulate more near the first notch 111a. This facilitates the guidance of the condensate into the atomizing chamber with the cooperation of the protrusion 47. Of course, in conjunction with this elliptical or flat flue gas output pipe 11a, the first insertion hole 61 and the second insertion hole 41 are also fitted with a flat or elliptical shape. Similarly, in conjunction with the above implementation, the position of the protruding ridge 47 needs to be adjusted to cooperate with the first notch 111a to form a capillary channel to guide the aerosol condensate.

[0077] exist Figure 11 In the preferred embodiment shown, the first notch 111a has a width greater than that of the second notch 112a; the width of the first notch 111a in the embodiment is approximately 2.4 mm, and the width of the second notch 112a is approximately 1 mm.

[0078] It should be noted that the preferred embodiments of this application are given in the specification and accompanying drawings, but are not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
