The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0096] This invention relates to an atomizing medium container. In one embodiment, the atomizing medium container includes a container body and a perforated plate. The container body is used to contain the atomizing medium and has an opening. The perforated plate is connected to the container body and is used to seal the opening. The perforated plate is provided with holes for unidirectional permeation of the atomized aerosol from the inside to the outside of the container. The container body can be used to contain atomizing media of various phases. After the atomizing medium is atomized, the generated aerosol is discharged outward through the holes on the perforated plate, while the residual substances after atomization are confined within the container by the perforated plate. This ensures that the residual substances generated by the atomizing medium remain within the container, reducing the probability of being discharged outward with the aerosol and effectively reducing the probability of leakage of particulate matter associated with atomization, thereby effectively improving the atomization safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0097] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an atomizing medium accommodating component according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0098] One embodiment of the atomizing medium receiving member 10 includes a receiving body 100 and a perforated plate 200. The receiving body 100 is used to receive the atomizing medium. Please refer to the following: Figure 2 The accommodating body 100 has an opening 102. The perforated plate 200 is connected to the accommodating body 100 and is used to enclose the opening 102. The perforated plate 200 is provided with a hole 202 for allowing the aerosol after atomization of the atomizing medium inside the accommodating body 100 to pass through unidirectionally from the inside to the outside.
[0099] In this embodiment, the container 100 can be used to contain atomizing media of various phases. After the atomizing media is atomized, the generated aerosol is discharged outward through the holes on the perforated plate 200. The substances remaining after the atomization of the atomizing media are confined within the container 100 by the perforated plate 200, so that the residual substances generated by the atomizing media remain within the container 100, reducing the probability of being discharged outward along with the aerosol, effectively reducing the probability of leakage of particulate matter associated with atomization, thereby effectively improving the atomization safety of the atomizing media container.
[0100] In one embodiment, the hole 202 is used to allow the aerosol to pass through unidirectionally from the inside to the outside under the internal pressure generated within the container 100. In this embodiment, the hole 202 is formed on the perforated sheet 200, and the hole 202 is used to allow the aerosol after atomization of the atomizing medium within the container 100 to pass through, that is, the aerosol after atomization of the atomizing medium within the container 100 passes through the hole 202 to be discharged outward. During the generation of the atomized aerosol within the container 100, the atomizing medium generates the aerosol due to heating. At this time, the internal pressure of the container 100 increases due to heating, creating a certain internal pressure within the container 100. This internal pressure facilitates the movement of the atomized aerosol under the action of the internal pressure of the container 100. Consequently, the atomized aerosol passes through the holes 202 under thermal pressure, allowing it to automatically pass through the perforated plate 200. This automatic permeation of the atomized aerosol through the holes in the perforated plate 200 is more convenient.
[0101] In one embodiment, the atomizing medium is used to form an aerosol and a media atomization residue after atomization. The aerosol is used to pass through the holes 202 of the perforated sheet 200, and the media atomization residue is used to isolate the medium within the container 100. In this embodiment, the atomizing medium is located within the container 100. Specifically, when the container 100 is heated, it is heated at a low temperature. The atomizing medium is atomized by the heat conducted by the container 100, so that the atomizing medium forms the aerosol and the media atomization residue after heating and atomization. The aerosol is a mist formed by fully atomizing the effective components of the atomizing medium. The molecular diameter of the aerosol is smaller than the pore size of the holes 202 of the perforated sheet 200, facilitating the passage of the aerosol through the holes 202 of the perforated sheet 200. The atomized residue is a residue formed after the atomizing medium is atomized, that is, the atomized residue is the residual product of the atomizing medium. For example, when the atomizing medium is a solid medium, the atomized residue is a particulate residue, which makes the effective diameter of the atomized residue larger than the aperture of the hole 202 of the perforated plate 200. This prevents the atomized residue from passing through the hole 202 of the perforated plate 200, thereby confining the atomized residue within the container 100. This effectively reduces the probability of the atomized residue being inhaled by the user, thereby effectively improving the safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0102] In another embodiment, when the atomizing medium is a liquid medium, the atomized residue of the medium is a mixture containing particles with larger diameters, that is, the diameter of the liquid molecules of the atomized residue of the medium is larger than the pore diameter of the pore 202 of the porous plate 200. In this case, the pore 202 of the porous plate 200 only allows the aerosol to pass through, while blocking the atomized residue of the medium within the container 100, thus reducing the probability of the atomized residue of the medium flowing out of the atomizing medium container.
[0103] In another embodiment, when the atomizing medium is a gaseous medium, the atomized residue of the medium is a mixed aerosol with larger particle sizes, that is, the diameter of the impurity molecules in the atomized residue of the medium is larger than the pore diameter of the pore 202 of the perforated plate 200. In this case, the pore 202 of the perforated plate 200 only allows the aerosol to pass through, while blocking the atomized residue of the medium within the container 100, thus reducing the probability of the atomized residue of the medium flowing out of the atomizing medium container.
[0104] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The atomizing medium container 10 further includes a filter permeator 300, which is connected to the perforated plate 200. Specifically, the filter permeator is located between the perforated plate and the atomizing medium, and the filter permeator 300 has a permeation channel for aerosol to pass through. In this embodiment, the filter permeator 300 is located between the perforated plate 200 and the atomizing medium, and the filter permeator 300 filters the aerosol. The aerosol is the mist formed after the atomizing medium is atomized. As one of the atomization products of the atomizing medium, the filter permeator 300 filters other substances mixed in the aerosol. For example, the filter permeator 300 filters out the atomization residue formed after the atomizing medium is atomized, so that among the various substances formed after the atomization of the atomizing medium, only the aerosol can pass through the holes 202 of the perforated plate 200, effectively improving the purity of the aerosol produced by the atomizing medium container, thereby further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container in use.
[0105] Further, the filter permeator 300 includes at least one of the following: fiber clusters, activated carbon, polymer materials, metal foam, metal woven mesh, and porous ceramics. In this embodiment, the filter permeator 300 is located between the porous sheet 200 and the atomizing medium, and the filter permeator 300 filters the aerosol. The aerosol is the mist formed after the atomizing medium is atomized, and the aerosol is one of the atomization products of the atomizing medium. The filter permeator 300 filters other substances mixed in the aerosol. The filter permeator 300 serves as a pre-filtration component for the aerosol. That is, the filter permeator 300 pre-filters other substances with larger diameters in the aerosol, thereby reducing the requirement for the pore size of the perforated plate 200. It can also achieve separate filtration of aerosol and media atomization residue, so that the filter permeator 300 blocks the media atomization residue in the container 100, while allowing the aerosol to pass through, and finally allowing the aerosol to pass through the pores 202 of the perforated plate 200.
[0106] In another embodiment, the filter permeator 300 is formed by two or more porous structures. For example, the filter permeator 300 is a combination of fiber clusters and metal foam, utilizing the small pore size of the fiber clusters and metal foam to perform two-stage filtration of the aerosol; or, the filter permeator 300 is a combination of fiber clusters and activated carbon, utilizing the small pore size of the fiber clusters and activated carbon to perform two-stage filtration of the aerosol; or, the filter permeator 300 is a combination of fiber clusters and polymer materials, utilizing the small pore size of the fiber clusters and polymer materials to perform two-stage filtration of the aerosol. For example, the filter permeator 300 may be a combination of fiber clusters and metal woven mesh, utilizing the small pore size of the fiber clusters and metal woven mesh to perform two-stage filtration of the aerosol; or, the filter permeator 300 may be a combination of fiber clusters and porous ceramics, utilizing the small pore size of the fiber clusters and porous ceramics to perform two-stage filtration of the aerosol; or, the filter permeator 300 may be a combination of metal foam and metal woven mesh, utilizing the small pore size of the metal foam and metal woven mesh to perform two-stage filtration of the aerosol; or, the filter permeator 300 may be a combination of metal foam and porous ceramics. The aerosol is filtered in two stages by utilizing the small pore size of the metal foam and porous ceramic. Alternatively, the filter permeator 300 is a combination of metal woven mesh and porous ceramic, using the small pore size of both to perform two-stage filtration. Another example is the filter permeator 300, which is a combination of fiber clusters, metal foam, and metal woven mesh, using the small pore size of these components to perform tertiary filtration. Yet another example is the filter permeator 300, which is a combination of fiber clusters, metal foam, and porous ceramic, using the small pore size of the fiber clusters, metal foam, and metal woven mesh to perform tertiary filtration. The aerosol is filtered in three stages by utilizing the small pore size of foam and porous ceramics. Alternatively, the filter permeator 300 may be a combination of metal foam, metal woven mesh, and porous ceramics, utilizing the small pore size of these components to perform three-stage filtration. Or, the filter permeator 300 may be a combination of fiber clusters, metal foam, metal woven mesh, and porous ceramics, utilizing the small pore size of these components to perform four-stage filtration, thereby improving the filtration capacity of the filter permeator 300 for the aerosol.
[0107] In another embodiment, at least two of the following are combined to form the filter permeator 300: fiber clusters, activated carbon, polymer materials, metal foam, metal woven mesh, and porous ceramics. Moreover, the combination of the above at least two structures misaligns their respective pores, thereby effectively reducing the pore size of the filter permeator 300 to further improve the filtration capacity of the filter permeator 300 for the aerosol.
[0108] Furthermore, the perforated sheet 200 is a perforated metal sheet, a mesh, or a perforated body. In this embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 has the holes 202. For example, the perforated sheet 200 is a mesh or a porous body. The aerosol passes through the mesh or porous body by means of the mesh. Moreover, the mesh or porous body is used in conjunction with the filter permeator 300. Under the filtering action of the filter permeator 300, the aerosol passing through the mesh or porous body is made purer, so that the atomizing medium container only allows the aerosol to pass through. Alternatively, the perforated sheet 200 is a perforated metal sheet. The holes of the perforated metal sheet are combined with the holes of the filter permeator 300. Specifically, the holes of the perforated metal sheet and the holes of the filter permeator 300 are misaligned, so that the pore size of the combination formed by the perforated metal sheet and the filter permeator 300 is reduced, so as to form a pore size that only allows the aerosol to pass through, that is, to form the holes 202 on the perforated sheet 200.
[0109] In one embodiment, the pore size of the porous sheet 200 is less than 300 μm. In this embodiment, the pores 202 of the porous sheet 200 are used for the aerosol to pass through. The pores 202 of the porous sheet 200 serve as channels for the aerosol to pass through the porous sheet 200, that is, the aerosol is discharged from the inside of the container 100 through the pores 202 of the porous sheet 200. The porous sheet 200 also blocks the un-atomized atomized medium and the atomized residue formed after atomization within the container 100. The pore size of the pores 202 of the porous sheet 200 is between the molecular diameter of the aerosol and the diameter of the atomized residue, so as to achieve the permeation of the aerosol and the blocking of the atomized residue. By setting the aperture of the hole 202 of the porous plate 200 to less than 300μm, the aperture of the hole 202 of the porous plate 200 is reduced, so that while the aerosol can pass through the hole 202 of the porous plate 200, larger diameter atomized media residues can be trapped in the container 100. This effectively improves the purity of the aerosol produced by the atomizing medium container, thereby effectively improving the safety of the atomizing medium container in use.
[0110] Further, the pore size of the porous sheet 200 is 55μm to 280μm. In this embodiment, the pores 202 of the porous sheet 200 are used for the aerosol to pass through. The pores 202 of the porous sheet 200 serve as channels for the aerosol to pass through the porous sheet 200, that is, the aerosol is discharged from inside the container 100 to the outside through the pores 202 of the porous sheet 200. The porous sheet 200 also blocks the un-atomized atomized medium and the atomized medium residue formed after atomization within the container 100. The pore size of the pores 202 of the porous sheet 200 is between the molecular diameter of the aerosol and the diameter of the atomized medium residue, so as to achieve the permeation of the aerosol and the blocking of the atomized medium residue. The pore diameter of the holes 202 in the porous plate 200 is set to between 55 μm and 280 μm, further reducing the pore diameter of the holes 202. This allows the holes 202 of the porous plate 200 to allow the aerosol to pass through while retaining as much of the larger diameter atomized media residue as possible within the container 100, further improving the purity of the aerosol produced by the atomizing medium container and thus further enhancing the safety of the atomizing medium container in use. In another embodiment, the pore diameter of the porous plate 200 is 200 μm.
[0111] In one embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 has multiple holes 202 distributed on it. In this embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 has multiple holes 202 for aerosol transmission. These holes 202 serve as channels for the aerosol to pass through the perforated sheet 200, allowing it to exit from the container 100. The perforated sheet 200 also blocks un-atomized atomized media and atomized media residue within the container 100. The distribution of multiple holes 202 on the perforated sheet 200 provides multiple channels for rapid aerosol conduction, increasing the rate at which the aerosol passes through the perforated sheet 200 and thus improving the aerosol production efficiency of the atomized media container.
[0112] Furthermore, the holes 202 are arranged differently, and the plurality of holes 202 are irregularly shaped holes. In this embodiment, the number of holes 202 in the perforated plate 200 is plurality, and the plurality of holes 202 are arranged differently on the perforated plate 200. Specifically, the plurality of holes 202 are irregularly distributed on the perforated plate 200. The shape of the plurality of holes 202 is irregular, that is, the holes 202 in the perforated plate 200 are irregularly shaped holes, so that the hole shape structure of the holes 202 is different and not a regular hole shape. This allows the perforated plate 200 to allow more complete permeation of the aerosol, so that while the aerosol passes through the perforated plate 200, the atomizing medium container is completely blocked in the container 100, which further improves the purity of the aerosol produced by the atomizing medium container, thereby further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container in use.
[0113] In one embodiment, the atomizing medium receiving component further includes an encapsulation body attached to the perforated sheet to seal the holes. In this embodiment, the receiving component contains the atomizing medium, and the perforated sheet is located at the opening of the receiving component. The aerosol formed after atomization of the atomizing medium permeates through the holes of the perforated sheet. Specifically, the aerosol automatically passes through the holes of the perforated sheet under the internal pressure within the receiving component. The aerosol formed after atomization of the atomizing medium readily passes through the holes of the perforated sheet. By providing the encapsulation body on the perforated sheet, the holes of the perforated sheet are sealed by the encapsulation body, making it difficult for the aerosol formed after atomization of the atomizing medium to pass through the holes of the perforated sheet, thereby sealing the aerosol within the receiving component by the encapsulation body. In this way, when not in use, the encapsulation effectively reduces the chance of aerosol leakage from the container. When needed, the encapsulation can be simply peeled off from the perforated sheet to open the holes, allowing the aerosol to escape from the container. In another embodiment, the encapsulation is a sealing film or a silicone sleeve, both used to seal the holes of the perforated sheet to achieve dust prevention and prevent aerosol leakage from the container.
[0114] In another embodiment, the encapsulation body is a thin film with an adhesive layer that is bonded to the perforated sheet. This facilitates the connection of the encapsulation body to the perforated sheet to seal the holes in the perforated sheet. Furthermore, the encapsulation body can be quickly removed when needed to open the holes in the perforated sheet, effectively improving the ease of use of the atomizing medium container.
[0115] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2The atomizing medium container 10 further includes a sealing cap 400, which covers the opening 102 of the container 100 and also shields a portion of the perforated sheet 200. In this embodiment, the sealing cap 400 is disposed at the opening 102 of the container 100, and the sealing cap 400 fixes the perforated sheet 200 to the container 100, thereby improving the connection stability between the perforated sheet 200 and the container 100. In another embodiment, the sealing cap 400 has a through hole communicating with the opening 202. Under the action of the through hole, that is, the through hole and the opening 202 on the perforated sheet 200 form a permeation channel for the aerosol, facilitating the direct export of the aerosol from the container 100.
[0116] In one embodiment, the container 100 is made of food-grade metal. In this embodiment, the container 100 serves as a housing for the atomizing medium, and the atomizing medium is in direct contact with the inner wall of the container 100. During the atomization process, the container 100 conducts heat to the atomizing medium, resulting in thermal contact between the container 100 and the atomizing medium. Since the aerosol formed after atomization is intended to enter the human body, all substances in contact with the atomizing medium need to be rendered harmless. By using a food-grade metal container 100, harmful components present in the aerosol formed after atomization—i.e., the portion mixed with the container 100—are avoided when the atomizing medium comes into contact with it. This ensures that the aerosol produced by the atomizing medium container meets safe consumption standards, further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0117] Furthermore, the container 100 is made of 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel. In this embodiment, the container 100 serves as a housing for the atomizing medium, and the atomizing medium is in direct contact with the inner wall of the container 100. During the atomization process of the atomizing medium, the container 100 conducts heat to the atomizing medium, and there is thermal contact between the container 100 and the atomizing medium. Since the aerosol formed after atomization is intended to enter the human body, all substances in contact with the atomizing medium need to be rendered harmless. The container 100 is made of food-grade metal material, specifically 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel. When the atomizing medium comes into contact with the container 100, the 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel container 100 is unlikely to react with the atomizing medium. Even during the atomization process, there will be no mutual reaction, thus avoiding the aerosol formed by the atomizing medium from being mixed with other harmful substances, that is, avoiding the presence of the container 100, further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0118] Furthermore, the container 100 is made of a food-grade polymer. In this embodiment, the container 100 serves as a housing for the atomizing medium, and the atomizing medium is in direct contact with the inner wall of the container 100. During the atomization process, the container 100 conducts heat to the atomizing medium, resulting in thermal contact between the container 100 and the atomizing medium. Since the aerosol formed after atomization is intended to enter the human body, all substances in contact with the atomizing medium need to be rendered harmless. By using a food-grade polymer container 100, the container 100 is unlikely to react with the atomizing medium when they come into contact, and even during atomization, there will be no mutual reaction. This prevents the aerosol formed after atomization from being mixed with other harmful substances, i.e., it avoids contamination with the contents of the container 100, further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0119] Furthermore, the food-grade polymer has a melting point greater than 150 degrees Celsius. In this embodiment, the container 100 serves as a housing for the atomizing medium, and the atomizing medium is in direct contact with the inner wall of the container 100. During the atomization process, the container 100 conducts heat to the atomizing medium, resulting in thermal contact between the container 100 and the atomizing medium. Since the aerosol formed after atomization is intended to enter the human body, all substances in contact with the atomizing medium need to be rendered harmless. The container 100 is made of a food-grade polymer with a melting point greater than 150 degrees Celsius. During atomization, specifically during low-temperature atomization, the atomizing medium comes into contact with the container 100, and the container 100 remains stable. The food-grade polymer container 100 is unlikely to react with the atomizing medium, and there will be no mutual reaction even during atomization. This avoids the aerosol formed by the atomized medium from being mixed with other harmful substances, i.e., it avoids the presence of the container 100, further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0120] Furthermore, the container 100 is made of either polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). In this embodiment, the container 100 serves as a housing for the atomizing medium, and the atomizing medium is in direct contact with the inner wall of the container 100. During the atomization process, the container 100 conducts heat to the atomizing medium, resulting in thermal contact between the container 100 and the atomizing medium. Since the aerosol formed after atomization is intended to enter the human body, all substances in contact with the atomizing medium need to be rendered harmless. The container 100 is made of a food-grade polymer with a melting point greater than 150 degrees Celsius; specifically, either PEEK or PPS is used as the material for the container 100. In this way, during the low-temperature atomization process, the atomizing medium comes into contact with the container 100, the container 100 remains stable, and the container 100 is unlikely to react with the atomizing medium. Even during the atomization process, there will be no mutual reaction, thus avoiding the aerosol formed by the atomizing medium from being mixed with other harmful substances, that is, avoiding the part mixed with the container 100, further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container.
[0121] In one embodiment, the atomizing medium is any one of a solid-phase atomizing medium, a gas-phase atomizing medium, and a liquid-phase atomizing medium. In this embodiment, the atomizing medium is contained within the container 100. Specifically, when the container 100 is heated, it is heated at a low temperature. The atomizing medium is atomized by the heat conducted through the container 100, so that the atomizing medium forms the aerosol and the atomized medium residue after heating and atomization. The aerosol is a mist formed after the effective components of the atomizing medium are fully atomized. The molecular diameter of the aerosol is smaller than the pore diameter of the perforated sheet 200, facilitating the aerosol to pass through the perforated sheet 200. The atomized residue is the residue formed after the atomizing medium is atomized, that is, the atomized residue is the residual product of the atomizing medium. For example, when the atomizing medium is a solid medium, the atomized residue is a particulate residue, making the effective diameter of the atomized residue larger than the aperture of the hole 202 of the perforated plate 200. This prevents the atomized residue from passing through the hole 202 of the perforated plate 200, thus confining the atomized residue within the container 100 and effectively reducing the probability of the atomized residue being inhaled by the user, thereby effectively improving the safety of the atomizing medium container. Alternatively, when the atomizing medium is a liquid medium, the atomized residue is a mixture containing larger particles, that is, the medium... When the diameter of the liquid molecules in the atomized residue is larger than the aperture of the holes 202 in the perforated plate 200, the holes 202 in the perforated plate 200 only allow the aerosol to pass through, while blocking the atomized residue within the container 100. This also reduces the probability of the atomized residue flowing out of the atomizing medium container. Similarly, when the atomizing medium is a gaseous medium, the atomized residue is a mixed aerosol containing larger particles, meaning the diameter of the impurity molecules in the atomized residue is larger than the aperture of the holes 202 in the perforated plate 200. In this case, the holes 202 in the perforated plate 200 only allow the aerosol to pass through, while blocking the atomized residue within the container 100. This also reduces the probability of the atomized residue flowing out of the atomizing medium container.
[0122] Further, the solid-phase atomizing medium is a medicinal plant or animal, ointment, modified medicinal active ingredient, or chemically synthesized compound. In this embodiment, the atomizing medium is contained within the container 100. Specifically, when the container 100 is heated, it is heated at a low temperature. The atomizing medium is atomized by the heat conducted through the container 100, so that the atomizing medium forms the aerosol and the atomized medium residue after heating and atomization. The aerosol is a mist formed after the effective components of the atomizing medium are fully atomized. The molecular diameter of the aerosol is smaller than the pore diameter of the perforated sheet 200, facilitating the aerosol to pass through the perforated sheet 200. The atomized medium residue is the residue formed after the atomization of the atomizing medium, i.e., the atomized medium residue is the remaining product of the atomization of the atomizing medium. The atomizing medium is a solid-phase atomizing medium, for example, any one of medicinal plants or animals and ointments. When medicinal plants or animals are used as the material of the atomizing medium, the atomizing medium is in a solid state. The atomizing medium is atomized at low temperature in the container 100, and the generated aerosol is the volatile component of the medicinal plants or animals themselves. Taking advantage of the characteristic that medicinal plants or animals can volatilize themselves in a low-temperature environment, the aerosol can be generated quickly even in a low-temperature atomization environment, which facilitates the permeability of the volatile molecules in the medicinal plants or animals of the atomizing medium through the perforated sheet 200. In another embodiment, when an ointment is used as the atomizing medium, the atomizing medium is in a solid state. The atomizing medium is atomized at low temperature within the container 100, and the resulting aerosol is a volatile component of the ointment itself. Utilizing the ointment's characteristic of self-evaporation at low temperatures, the aerosol can be rapidly generated even under low-temperature atomization conditions, facilitating the permeability of volatile molecules from the ointment through the porous sheet 200. The ointment includes either a clean ointment or a dry ointment, both being solid ointments that can evaporate at low temperatures. The chemically synthesized compound is a pharmaceutical atomizing compound. Specifically, the chemically synthesized compound includes chiral molecules, such as (+)-α-pinene, (-)-β-pinene, myrcene, o-isopropylbenzene, D-limonene, γ-terpinene, 4-carene, linalool, 4-terpene alcohol, α-terpineol, nerol, or geraniol.
[0123] In another embodiment, the medicinal plants and animals are those containing volatile active ingredients or those that can be encapsulated and carried away by a volatile medium. For example, the medicinal plants and animals include at least one of costus root, agarwood, clove, patchouli, musk, and ambergris. In this embodiment, the medicinal plants and animals are substances that can volatilize at low temperatures, facilitating low-temperature atomization within the container 100 to form corresponding aerosols. For example, when the atomizing medium is costus root, after the container 100 receives low-temperature heat, the costus root inside the container 100 rapidly volatilizes to generate an aerosol containing costus root molecules; similarly, when the atomizing medium is agarwood, after the container 100 receives low-temperature heat, the agarwood inside the container 100 rapidly volatilizes to generate an aerosol containing agarwood molecules; similarly, when the atomizing medium is clove, after the container 100 receives low-temperature heat, the clove inside the container 100 rapidly volatilizes to generate an aerosol containing clove molecules; and so on. For example, when the atomizing medium is patchouli, after the container 100 receives low-temperature heat, the patchouli within the container 100 rapidly volatilizes to generate an aerosol containing patchouli molecules; similarly, when the atomizing medium is musk, after the container 100 receives low-temperature heat, the musk within the container 100 rapidly volatilizes to generate an aerosol containing musk molecules; and similarly, when the atomizing medium is ambergris, after the container 100 receives low-temperature heat, the ambergris within the container 100 rapidly volatilizes to generate an aerosol containing ambergris molecules. The volatilizing medium can be vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol, and the high volatility of vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol accelerates the release of the aerosol.
[0124] In one embodiment, this application also provides a packaging structure for an atomizing medium container. The packaging structure includes a shell and a packaging encapsulation component. The shell has a placement groove for receiving the atomizing medium container. The packaging encapsulation component is connected to the shell and seals the opening of the placement groove. In this embodiment, the shell serves as the outer packaging shell for the atomizing medium container, and the atomizing medium container is placed within the placement groove on the shell, i.e., the atomizing medium container is located within the placement groove. After the atomizing medium container is placed within the placement groove, the packaging encapsulation component seals the opening of the placement groove, facilitating the packaging of the atomizing medium container onto the shell, thus achieving packaging of the atomizing medium container.
[0125] In one embodiment, this application also provides a method for manufacturing an atomizing medium container; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4The method includes the following steps: S110: providing a perforated sheet; S120: loading the atomizing medium into a container; S130: sealing the perforated sheet at the opening of the container to obtain an atomizing medium container. In this embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 serves as an internal and external separator of the container 100. The perforated sheet 200 is used to separate the aerosol from the atomized residue of the medium. That is, the holes 202 of the perforated sheet 200 allow the aerosol to permeate from the inside of the container 100 to the outside, while the perforated sheet 200 blocks the atomized residue of the medium within the container 100. After the atomizing medium is placed inside the container 100, the opening 102 of the container 100 is sealed with the perforated sheet 200, so that the interior of the container 100 can only communicate with the outside through the holes 202 of the perforated sheet 200, facilitating the formation of an atomizing medium container for generating aerosols.
[0126] Further, please refer to Figure 5 The process of sealing the perforated sheet at the opening of the accommodating body further includes: S140: placing the filter permeator on the atomizing medium; the process of sealing the perforated sheet at the opening of the accommodating body includes: S150: abutting the perforated sheet against the filter permeator and sealing the opening. In this embodiment, the filter permeator 300 serves as a filter component for the aerosol generated after atomization of the atomizing medium. Placing the filter permeator 300 on the atomizing medium is done before the perforated sheet 200 is installed. That is, before the perforated sheet 200 is sealed on the accommodating body 100, the filter permeator 300 is first brought into contact with the atomizing medium to facilitate the placement of the filter permeator 300 between the atomizing medium and the perforated sheet 200. Thus, after the atomizing medium is placed in the container 100, the filter permeator 300 is placed in the container 100 and comes into contact with the atomizing medium. Finally, the opening 102 of the container 100 is sealed by the perforated plate 200 to assemble the filter permeator 300 and form the atomizing medium container.
[0127] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 6The provision of the perforated sheet includes S112: attaching the filter permeator to the perforated sheet; the encapsulation of the perforated sheet at the opening of the accommodating body includes S160: encapsulating the perforated sheet with the attached filter permeator at the opening. In this embodiment, the filter permeator 300 serves as a filter component for the aerosol generated after the atomization of the atomizing medium. When providing the perforated sheet 200, the filter permeator 300 is directly attached to the perforated sheet 200, such that the filter permeator 300 is connected to the perforated sheet 200. The gap on the filter permeator 300 and the hole 202 of the perforated sheet 200 form a channel to facilitate the passage of the aerosol. Thus, after the filter permeator 300 is attached to the perforated sheet 200, the filter permeator 300 is connected to the perforated sheet 200. When the perforated sheet 200 encapsulates the accommodating body 100, the side of the perforated sheet 200 connected to the filter permeator 300 faces the atomizing medium, so that the filter permeator 300 is located between the perforated sheet 200 and the atomizing medium, which facilitates the installation of the filter permeator 300.
[0128] In one embodiment, this application also provides a method for manufacturing a perforated sheet; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 The method includes the following steps: S210: providing a substrate; S220: performing a pore-forming operation on the substrate to form holes on the substrate, thereby obtaining the porous sheet. In this embodiment, the porous sheet 200 serves as a separator for the atomizing medium accommodating member, used to guide the aerosol out of the accommodating body 100, that is, to allow the aerosol to permeate from inside the accommodating body 100 through the holes 202 of the porous sheet 200. It is necessary to form holes on the porous sheet 200 for the aerosol to pass through. The substrate is the base sheet of the porous sheet 200. Performing a pore-forming operation on the substrate is a process of creating the holes 202 on the substrate, facilitating the formation of the required holes on the substrate, thereby facilitating the formation of holes on the substrate for the aerosol to pass through, and thus facilitating the fabrication of the porous sheet 200.
[0129] Further, please refer to Figure 8The hole-forming operation on the substrate specifically includes S221: using a high-energy laser to strike the substrate, performing a laser ablation operation; S222: the laser ablation site on the substrate is burned through by the laser to form the hole. In this embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 serves as a separator for the atomizing medium container, used to guide the aerosol out of the container 100, that is, the aerosol permeates from inside the container 100 through the hole 202 of the perforated sheet 200, requiring the formation of a hole on the perforated sheet 200 for the aerosol to pass through. The substrate is the base sheet of the perforated sheet 200. The laser ablation operation on the substrate is a process of creating the holes 202 on the substrate. A high-energy laser is aimed at the substrate to ablate the substrate at the laser ablation site, which facilitates the formation of the required holes on the substrate. This facilitates the formation of holes on the substrate for the aerosol to pass through, and thus facilitates the fabrication of the perforated sheet 200.
[0130] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 9 The process of forming holes in the substrate includes: S224: forming a protective layer on the substrate; S225: performing a patterning operation on the protective layer using an exposure and development process; S226: immersing the substrate covered with the protective layer in an etching solution to form the holes, thus obtaining the porous sheet. In this embodiment, the porous sheet 200 serves as a separator for the atomizing medium container, used to guide the aerosol out of the container 100, that is, the aerosol permeates from inside the container 100 to the outside through the holes 202 of the porous sheet 200, requiring the formation of holes on the porous sheet 200 for the aerosol to pass through. The substrate serves as the base sheet for the perforated sheet 200. A protective layer is formed on the substrate, and then the protective layer is exposed and developed to perform a pre-patterning process for creating the holes 202. This facilitates the formation of the positioning pattern for the holes 202 on the substrate. The substrate covered with the protective layer is then immersed in an etching solution to etch through the positioning pattern, thus forming the required holes on the substrate. This facilitates the formation of holes on the substrate for the aerosol to pass through, thereby facilitating the fabrication of the perforated sheet 200. After immersing the substrate covered with the protective layer in the etching solution to form the holes 202, the perforated sheet 200 can be formed simply by removing the protective layer.
[0131] In one embodiment, this application also provides an atomizing component. Please refer to the following: Figure 10 and Figure 11The atomizing component 20 includes a heating element 500 and an atomizing medium accommodating component 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The heating element 500 is correspondingly disposed with the accommodating body 100, and the heating element 500 is used to heat the atomizing medium inside the accommodating body 100. In this embodiment, the atomizing medium accommodating component includes an accommodating body 100 and a perforated plate 200. The accommodating body 100 is used to accommodate the atomizing medium and has an opening 102. The perforated plate 200 is connected to the accommodating body 100 and is used to enclose the opening 102. The perforated plate 200 is provided with holes 202 for the atomized aerosol inside the accommodating body 100 to pass through unidirectionally from the inside to the outside. The container 100 can accommodate atomizing media of various phases. After the atomizing media is atomized, the generated aerosol is discharged outward through the holes in the perforated plate 200. The residue remaining after atomization is confined within the container 100 by the perforated plate 200, thus reducing the likelihood of residual substances being discharged with the aerosol and effectively lowering the probability of particulate matter leakage, thereby significantly improving the atomization safety of the atomizing media container. The heating element 500 generates heat, which is transferred to the container 100 to facilitate low-temperature atomization of the atomizing media within the container 100, thereby promoting the generation of the aerosol.
[0132] In one embodiment, this application also provides an atomization method using the atomization component of the above embodiments. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 12The method includes: S310: heating the atomizing medium container to atomize the atomizing medium inside the container to generate a low-temperature atomized aerosol; S320: the low-temperature atomized aerosol overflowing through the holes of the perforated plate. In this embodiment, the atomizing medium container includes a container body 100 and a perforated plate 200; the container body 100 is used to contain the atomizing medium and has an opening 102; the perforated plate 200 is connected to the container body 100 and is used to seal the opening 102, and the perforated plate 200 is provided with holes for the atomized aerosol inside the container body 100 to pass through unidirectionally from the inside to the outside. The container 100 can accommodate atomizing media of various phases. After the atomizing media is atomized, the generated aerosol is discharged outward through the holes in the perforated plate 200. The residue remaining after atomization is confined within the container 100 by the perforated plate 200, reducing the likelihood of it being discharged with the aerosol and effectively lowering the probability of particulate matter leakage, thus significantly improving the atomization safety of the atomizing media container. Heating the atomizing media container involves heat conduction through the container 100 to achieve low-temperature atomization of the atomizing media within it, generating the low-temperature atomized aerosol. This facilitates the discharge of the low-temperature atomized aerosol through the holes 202 of the perforated plate 200, allowing it to be discharged from the container 100 and thus achieving atomization of the atomizing component.
[0133] Furthermore, the atomization temperature for heating the atomizing medium container is 50°C to 150°C. In another embodiment, the atomization temperature is 70°C to 100°C. By controlling the temperature for atomizing the atomizing medium within the container 100 at the above-mentioned temperatures, low-temperature atomization of the atomizing medium is achieved.
[0134] In one embodiment, this application also provides a low-temperature atomizer. Please refer to the following: Figure 13 and Figure 14The low-temperature atomizer 30 includes a battery 600, a housing 700, and the atomizing component 20 described in the above embodiments. The battery 600 is disposed within the housing 700, which has a mounting hole. The atomizing component passes through the mounting hole, and the heating element 500 of the atomizing component is electrically connected to the battery 600. In this embodiment, the atomizing component includes a heating element 500 and an atomizing medium accommodating element as described in any of the above embodiments. The heating element 500 is correspondingly disposed with the accommodating body 100, and the heating element 500 is used to heat the atomizing medium within the accommodating body 100. The atomizing medium container includes a container body 100 and a perforated plate 200; the container body 100 is used to contain the atomizing medium and has an opening 102; the perforated plate 200 is connected to the container body 100 and is used to seal the opening 102, and the perforated plate 200 is provided with holes for the atomized aerosol in the container body 100 to pass through unidirectionally from the inside to the outside. The container 100 can accommodate atomizing media of various phases. After the atomizing media is atomized, the generated aerosol is discharged outward through the holes in the perforated plate 200. The residue remaining after atomization is confined within the container 100 by the perforated plate 200, reducing the likelihood of residual substances being discharged with the aerosol and effectively lowering the probability of particulate matter leakage, thus significantly improving the atomization safety of the atomizing medium container. The battery 600 is electrically connected to the heating element 500, providing it with electrical energy to generate heat. The heat from the heating element 500 is transferred to the container 100, facilitating low-temperature atomization of the atomizing media within the container 100, thereby promoting aerosol generation. The atomizing assembly and the battery 600 are mounted within the housing 700 through the mounting holes.
[0135] Further, please refer to Figure 15 The low-temperature nebulizer also includes a breathing mask 800 connected to the outer shell 700. The breathing mask 800 has a mist outlet 802, which communicates with the hole in the perforated plate 200. In this embodiment, the breathing mask 800 is fitted onto the outer shell 700, and the interior of the breathing mask 800 communicates with the hole in the perforated plate 200. That is, the mist outlet 802 on the breathing mask 800 communicates with the hole 202 in the perforated plate 200 to form an aerosol outlet channel, facilitating the absorption of aerosol generated within the container 100 by the user through the breathing mask 800.
[0136] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 14The breathing mask 800 has an air supply port 804 communicating with the mist outlet 802. The air supply port 804 is used to introduce external air and mix it with the low-temperature atomized aerosol. In this embodiment, the air supply port 804 is in communication with the interior of the breathing mask 800. After the aerosol is guided into the breathing mask 800 through the mist outlet 802 and absorbed, the air supply port 804 replenishes the breathing mask 800 with gas to keep the pressure inside the breathing mask 800 stable, so that the user can continue to absorb the aerosol generated subsequently.
[0137] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 15 The low-temperature nebulizer 30 further includes a sleeve portion 810 connected to the breathing mask 800, the sleeve portion 810 being sleeved with the outer shell 700. In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 810 serves as a connecting component between the breathing mask 800 and the outer shell 700. The sleeve portion 810 facilitates the quick installation of the breathing mask 800 onto the outer shell 700; for example, the breathing mask 800 is detachably connected to the outer shell 700 via the sleeve portion 810.
[0138] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 15 The inner sidewall of the sleeve portion 810 abuts against the outer wall of the outer shell 700. In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 810 is sleeved with the outer shell 700, and the sleeve portion 810 is sleeved on the outer wall of the outer shell 700, that is, the sleeve portion 810 is located outside the outer shell 700, which facilitates the breathing mask 800 to be sleeved on the outer wall of the outer shell 700 through the sleeve portion 810, thereby realizing the quick sleeve connection between the breathing mask 800 and the outer shell 700.
[0139] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 16 At least a portion of the sleeve portion 810 is engaged between the inner wall of the mounting hole and the receiving body 100. In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 810 engages with the outer shell 700, and the sleeve portion 810 is fitted between the outer shell 700 and the receiving body 100, that is, the sleeve portion 810 is located between the inner wall of the outer shell 700 and the outer wall of the receiving body 100, which facilitates the quick engagement of the breathing mask 800 with the outer shell 700 by means of the sleeve portion 810. In addition, the breathing mask 800 is further improved in terms of installation stability on the outer shell 700 by the joint clamping of the outer shell 700 and the receiving body 100.
[0140] The aperture size of the hole 202 in the above figures is for ease of viewing and is not the actual proportional size; it is enlarged for display purposes only.
[0141] Furthermore, the low-temperature atomization in this invention is relative to the conventional atomization temperature. The low-temperature atomization temperature is 50°C to 150°C, while the conventional atomization temperature is all above 200°C. Of course, the low-temperature atomization technology of this invention can also be used to perform conventional atomization operations, but this low-temperature atomization technology has significant technical advantages over conventional atomization.
[0142] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 17 The perforated sheet 200 is a ring structure with the holes, and the filter permeator 300 is embedded in the holes. In this embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 is a ring structure with a hollowed-out middle section. The holes of the perforated sheet 200 are used to embed the filter permeator 300, so that the perforated sheet 200 and the filter permeator 300 form a nested structure, that is, the perforated sheet 200 wraps the filter permeator 300. The permeation channel of the filter permeator 300 and the holes of the perforated sheet 200 simultaneously serve as channels for the aerosol.
[0143] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 18 The filter permeator 300 is installed on the side of the perforated plate 200 away from the atomizing medium. In this embodiment, the filter permeator 300 is located on the side of the perforated plate 200 opposite to the atomizing medium, and the filter permeator 300 performs secondary filtration on the aerosol. The aerosol is the mist formed after the atomizing medium is atomized. As one of the atomization products of the atomizing medium, the filter permeator 300 filters out other substances mixed in the aerosol. For example, the filter permeator 300 filters out the atomization residue formed after the atomizing medium is atomized, so that only the aerosol can pass through among the various substances formed after the atomization of the atomizing medium, effectively improving the purity of the aerosol produced by the atomizing medium container, thereby further improving the safety of the atomizing medium container in use. Figure 19 and Figure 20 This is a physical image of the atomizing medium container in this embodiment. Figure 21 This is an exploded view of the atomizing medium container in this embodiment. From left to right, it consists of the container body, the perforated plate, the filter permeable body, and the cover.
[0144] Furthermore, a portion of the filter permeator 300 is embedded within the hole of the perforated sheet 200. In this embodiment, a portion of the filter permeator 300 passes through the hole of the perforated sheet 200. Specifically, the filter permeator 300 is pressed onto the perforated sheet 200, such that a portion of the filter permeator 300 passes through the hole of the perforated sheet 200, making the pore size of the perforated sheet 200 adjustable and effectively reducing the difficulty of forming the hole of the perforated sheet 200.
[0145] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 22 At least a portion of the perforated sheet 200 is embedded within the filter permeator 300. In this embodiment, the perforated sheet 200 is located within the filter permeator 300; specifically, the perforated sheet 200 is nested within the filter permeator 300, meaning the filter permeator 300 encloses the perforated sheet 200. Through the combined action of the permeation channels of the filter permeator 300 and the pores of the perforated sheet 200, the aerosol undergoes permeation and filtration.
[0146] In another embodiment, please refer to [the document / reference]. Figure 17 , Figure 18 as well as Figure 22 The atomizing medium container further includes a cover 900, which is fastened onto the container body. The cover 900 has a recess 902, which allows the holes of the perforated sheet 200 and the through-channel of the filter 300 to communicate with the external space. In this embodiment, the cover 900 is sleeved onto the container body, confining the perforated sheet 200 and the filter 300 within the container body, reducing the likelihood of them falling off. The recess 902 corresponds to the holes of the perforated sheet 200 and the through-channel of the filter 300, facilitating the release of the aerosol through the recess 902.
[0147] Furthermore, the accommodating body has a stepped portion 110, which, together with the cover 900, clamps the perforated sheet 200 and the filter permeator 300. In this embodiment, the stepped portion 110 is located on the accommodating body, either on the inner wall or the outer wall of the accommodating body, and serves to clamp the perforated sheet 200 and the filter permeator 300 together with the cover 900, so that the perforated sheet 200 and the filter permeator 300 are stably installed on the accommodating body, thereby improving the installation stability of the perforated sheet 200 and the filter permeator 300.
[0148] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
