Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of atomizers, specifically an atomizer and its atomizing body. Background Technology

[0002] An atomizer is a device that heats and atomizes an aerosol matrix to output an aerosol. It consists of an atomizing body and an atomizing head. The atomizing head includes a mouthpiece, an atomizing coil, and an aerosol matrix. The atomizing body supplies power to the atomizing head. When the atomizing head is working, the atomizing coil converts electrical energy into heat energy, which acts on the aerosol matrix, causing the aerosol matrix to be heated and atomized to form an aerosol, which is then output from the mouthpiece.

[0003] Most existing atomizers can only produce one flavor of aerosol. To switch flavors, the aerosol matrix inside the atomizer coil needs to be replaced. Some atomizers can switch flavors, but this requires manually pushing the atomizer or turning the shell, which is inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an atomizer that improves the convenience of switching individual atomizer heads.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] An atomizer includes an atomizing body and an atomizing head assembly.

[0007] One end of the atomizing body is provided with a rotating sleeve and a push shaft at the center, and an electrode is provided at a position off-center. The side of the atomizing body is provided with a latch. A linkage mechanism is provided between the latch, the rotating sleeve and the push shaft. When the latch is latched, it drives the push shaft to push outward and drives the rotating sleeve to rotate at an angle. The interior of the atomizing body is provided with a reset device for the push shaft and the latch.

[0008] The atomizing head assembly is rotatably mounted on the push shaft and is driven by the rotating sleeve. The atomizing head assembly includes multiple individual atomizing heads, which are distributed on a circle with the rotation center of the atomizing head assembly as the center. The electrode of one of the individual atomizing heads is connected to the electrode of the atomizer body.

[0009] In some embodiments, one end of the atomizing head assembly is provided with a first magnet corresponding to each individual atomizing head, and one end of the atomizing body is provided with a second magnet. After the atomizing head assembly is rotated, the second magnet attracts the first magnet, which helps the electrodes of the individual atomizing heads to align with the electrodes on the atomizing body.

[0010] In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism between the buckle and the push shaft includes: a first rack fixedly disposed on the push shaft; a first gear rotatably disposed on the atomizing body and meshing with the first rack; a second gear coaxially and parallelly disposed with the first gear; and a sliding rack meshing with the second gear and cooperating with the connecting rod pair of the buckle.

[0011] In some embodiments, the push shaft and the buckle share a reset device, which includes a compression spring and a stop pin. The stop pin is fixedly disposed at the end of the push shaft away from the atomizing head assembly. The compression spring is sleeved on the push shaft, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively press-fitted with the stop pin and the body of the atomizing body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the sliding rack is formed on a slider, the slider having a first slot and a second slot that intersect perpendicularly, the sliding rack being formed on the wall of the second slot, the first rack and the first gear being disposed in the first slot, and the second gear being disposed in the second slot.

[0013] In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism between the buckle and the rotating sleeve includes: a ratchet fixedly disposed on the rotating sleeve; a pawl engaging with the ratchet; and an elastic element that presses the pawl against the ratchet; the pawl's connecting rod is rotatably engaged with a pin on a slider, so that the pawl can move with the slider and can swing to separate from or engage with the ratchet.

[0014] In some embodiments, the elastic element is a torsion spring, which is disposed at the rotation center of the connecting rod. The torsion spring has two spring arms, which are respectively press-fitted with the connecting rod and the slider.

[0015] In some embodiments, the individual atomizing head is detachably configured to the atomizing head assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments, a connecting sleeve is fixedly provided at the center of the atomizing head assembly, the push shaft is movably engaged with the connecting sleeve, the end of the push shaft is formed with a threaded hole, the threaded hole engages with a screw to fix the atomizing head assembly to the push shaft, the end of the connecting sleeve and the end of the rotating sleeve are formed with end teeth, and the rotating sleeve and the connecting sleeve are connected by the end teeth.

[0017] The present invention also provides an atomizing body, wherein a rotating sleeve and a push shaft are provided at the center of one end of the atomizing body, and an electrode is provided at an off-center position. A fastening mechanism is provided on the side of the atomizing body, and a linkage mechanism is provided between the fastening mechanism, the rotating sleeve and the push shaft. When the fastening mechanism is fastened, it drives the push shaft to push outward and drives the rotating sleeve to rotate at an angle. A resetter for the push shaft and the fastening mechanism is provided inside the atomizing body.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This atomizer features a rotating sleeve and push shaft at the center of one end of the atomizing body, with electrodes positioned off-center. A latch is located on the side of the atomizing body, and a linkage mechanism connects the latch, rotating sleeve, and push shaft. A reset mechanism for the push shaft and latch is located inside the atomizing body. When the latch is engaged, the push shaft moves outward and the rotating sleeve rotates at an angle; when the latch is released, the reset mechanism causes the push shaft to retract inward. The atomizing head assembly, rotatably mounted on the push shaft and driven by the rotating sleeve, has multiple individual atomizing heads evenly distributed on a circle centered on the rotation center of the atomizing head assembly. The electrode of each individual atomizing head is connected to the electrode of the atomizer body. Engaging the latch causes the atomizing head assembly to be first pushed outward and rotated at an angle, then pulled back, thus enabling the switching of individual atomizing heads connected to the atomizing body. Since switching individual atomizing heads is achieved simply by engaging the latch, operation is extremely convenient. Furthermore, since the movement of the atomizing head assembly during the switching process includes forward thrust and rotation, the electrodes on the atomizing body can be flexible electrodes without hindering the rotation of the atomizing head, thus improving power supply reliability.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 Some embodiments of the atomizer include an atomizing body 100 and an atomizing head assembly 200. The atomizing head assembly 200 is disposed at one end of the atomizing body 100, and one end of the atomizing head assembly 200 has a mouthpiece 300. The atomizing body 100 provides electrical energy and control signals to the atomizing head assembly 200. During operation, the heating element inside the atomizing head assembly 200 converts electrical energy into heat energy to heat the aerosol matrix, which is then converted into aerosol and output from the mouthpiece 300.

[0031] Figure 2 The external structure of the atomizing body 100 is shown in the figure.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, two output electrodes 105 are fixedly mounted at an off-center position on the front end 101 of the atomizing body 100. The two output electrodes 105 are electrically connected to a battery inside the atomizing body 100 to supply power to the atomizing head. The output electrodes 105 are preferably spring-loaded electrodes. Using spring-loaded electrodes ensures more reliable contact between the electrodes when they make contact with the input electrodes on the atomizing head due to the spring force of the spring.

[0033] The front end 101 of the atomizing body 100 has a shaft hole at the center, a rotating sleeve 103 is rotatably installed in the shaft hole, a push shaft 102 is movably installed in the rotating sleeve 103, and a fastener 106 is provided on the side of the atomizing body 100.

[0034] Figure 3 The internal structure of the atomizing body 100 is shown.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the latch 106 is supported by the fulcrum 1061. The connecting rod 1062 of the latch 106 cooperates with the slider 107. When the latch 106 is latched, the connecting rod 1062 drives the slider 107 to slide to the right. The direction to the right is the direction away from the axis of the mounting push shaft 102.

[0036] The slider 107 has a second toothed rack 1071 formed on it (see...). Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second rack 1071 slides along with the slider 107 and is called the sliding rack. The push shaft 102 has a first rack 112 formed on it. The first rack 112 meshes with the first gear 111. The first gear 111 is mounted on the body of the atomizing body through the support shaft 110.

[0037] See Figure 4 and Figure 5The first gear 111 is connected in parallel with a second gear 1111, which meshes with the second rack 1071. Both the first gear 111 and the second gear 1111 are mounted on the support shaft 110 and can be linked together. The first gear 111 and the second gear 1111 are preferably constructed from the same double gear.

[0038] The combination of the first gear 111, the second gear 1111, the first rack 112, and the second rack 1071 constitutes the linkage mechanism between the latch 106 and the push shaft 102. When the latch 106 is engaged, the slider 107 drives the second rack 1071 to move... Figure 3 Sliding to the right, the second rack 1071 drives the second gear 1111 to rotate, the second gear 1111 drives the first gear 111 to rotate synchronously, and the first gear 111 drives the first rack 112 to move towards... Figure 3 The upper side of the push shaft 102 moves upward, which in turn causes the push shaft 102 to move upward. The upward movement of the push shaft 102 is the outward pushing motion of the push shaft.

[0039] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 A connecting rod 109 is mounted on the top of the slider 107 via a pin 108. The connecting rod 109 has a pawl 1091 formed therein, and a ratchet 1031 is formed at the lower end of the rotating sleeve 103. The pawl 1091 engages with one tooth of the ratchet 1031. A torsion spring 1092 is mounted on the pin 108. The two arms of the torsion spring 1092 are respectively press-fitted with the connecting rod 109 and the slider 107, so that the pawl 1091 and the ratchet 1031 can reliably engage.

[0040] The aforementioned connecting rod 109, pawl 1091, torsion spring 1092, and ratchet 1031 constitute the linkage mechanism between the latch 106 and the rotating sleeve 103. When the latch 106 is engaged, the slider 107 drives the connecting rod 109 to... Figure 3 When the link 109 slides to the right, the pawl 1091 moves to the right, and the pawl 1091 drives the ratchet 1031 to rotate one tooth position, thereby causing the rotating sleeve 103 to rotate at a certain angle.

[0041] Both of the above-mentioned linkage mechanisms are connected to the latch 106 via the slider 107. This ensures that when the latch 106 is engaged, the push shaft 102 and the rotating sleeve 103 are linked together.

[0042] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 A compression spring 113 and a stop pin 114 are provided at the end of the push shaft 102 away from the atomizing head assembly. One end of the compression spring 113 is pressed into the stop pin 114, and the other end is pressed into the body of the atomizing body, applying a downward elastic force to the push shaft 102.

[0043] The aforementioned compression spring 113 and stop pin 114 constitute the reset mechanism for the push shaft 102 and the latch 106. When the finger leaves the latch 106, the elastic force of the compression spring 113 causes the push shaft 102 to... Figure 3 The downward movement of the push shaft 102 is the retraction movement of the push shaft 102, also known as the pull-back movement. In short, it is the opposite of the outward pushing movement of the push shaft. The movement of the push shaft 102 is transmitted to the buckle 106 through the aforementioned linkage mechanism between the push shaft 102 and the buckle 106, thereby causing the buckle 106 to reset.

[0044] The pawl 1091 will also reset along with the latch 106. Specifically, during the reset process of the latch 106, the slider 107 will move towards... Figure 3 When the slider 10 moves to the left, it drives the connecting rod 109 to move to the left, so that the pawl 1091 passes over one tooth of the ratchet 1031 and engages with the next tooth of the ratchet 1031.

[0045] Figure 6 The structure of the atomizer head assembly 200 is shown. A shaft hole is provided at the center of the atomizer head assembly 200, and a connecting sleeve 203 is fixedly installed within the shaft hole. The end of the connecting sleeve 203 has end teeth. The atomizer head assembly 200 is equipped with five individual atomizer heads 201, which are evenly distributed on the same circumference centered on the rotation center of the atomizer head assembly 200. Each individual atomizer head 201 is provided with two input electrodes 202. The five individual atomizer heads 201 contain different aerosol bases, which can produce aerosols with different flavors.

[0046] In other embodiments, the number of individual atomizing heads 201 in the atomizing head assembly 200 can be three, four, six, seven, etc., and the present invention does not limit the number of individual atomizing heads 201. The aerosol matrix contained in the individual atomizing heads 201 can be the same or different, or some individual atomizing heads 201 can contain the same aerosol matrix while others contain different aerosol matrices.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 The push shaft 102 of the atomizing body 100 is assembled in the connecting sleeve 203 of the atomizing head assembly 200. The push shaft 102 can rotate relative to the connecting sleeve 203. The rotating sleeve 103 of the atomizing body 100 and the connecting sleeve 203 are connected by end teeth at their ends. The end of the push shaft 102 is formed with a threaded hole, and the screw 205 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole to fix the atomizing head assembly 200 to the push shaft 102.

[0048] The combination of the aforementioned atomizing body 100 and atomizing head assembly 200 constitutes a multi-flavor atomizer. Flavor switching can be easily achieved by pressing the trigger 106. The principle is as follows: when the trigger 106 is pressed once, the trigger 106 drives the push shaft 102 and the rotating sleeve 103 through a linkage mechanism. The push shaft 102 then drives the atomizing head assembly 200 to... Figure 7 The upper and middle sides move, causing the input electrode of the currently working atomizing head to disengage from the output electrode of the atomizing body; the rotating sleeve 103 drives the atomizing head assembly 200 to rotate one tooth position, causing the currently working atomizing head to be misaligned with the output electrode of the atomizing body, and the next atomizing head to align with the output electrode of the atomizing body; after the finger releases the latch 106, under the pushing force of the compression spring 113, the push shaft 103 and the latch 106 reset, and the push shaft 102 drives the atomizing head assembly 200 to move downwards and reset, so that the input electrode of the next atomizing head contacts and connects with the output electrode of the atomizing body, thus completing the flavor conversion. During this process, the pawl also resets and engages with the next tooth position of the ratchet. The above completes one flavor conversion, and one flavor conversion is achieved each time the latch 106 is pulled.

[0049] Due to manufacturing errors in parts, the aforementioned multi-flavor atomizers may experience misalignment between the input electrode on the atomizer head and the output electrode on the atomizer body after flavor switching. To resolve this issue, refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 6 Furthermore, at the rear end of the atomizing head assembly 200, i.e., the end of the atomizing head assembly 200 facing the atomizing body 100, a first magnet 204 is provided for each individual atomizing head 201, and a second magnet 104 is provided at the front end of the atomizing body 100. The second magnet 104 cooperates with the first magnet 204, using the principle of opposite poles attracting and like poles repelling, to help align the input electrode of the individual atomizing head with the output electrode of the atomizing body.

[0050] Further reference Figure 5 The second rack 1071 is formed on the slider 107, which has a first slot 1073 and a second slot 1072 that intersect perpendicularly. The second rack 1071 is formed on the wall of the second slot 1072. The first rack and the first gear 111 are disposed in the first slot 1073, and the second gear 1111 is disposed in the second slot 1072. This structure integrates two gears within the slider 107, achieving the advantages of a compact structure and small size.

[0051] Reference Figure 8The atomizer assembly 200 consists of a cartridge assembly 210, a single atomizer head 201, and a mouthpiece assembly 220. The single atomizer head 201 is inserted into the cartridge assembly 210 and is detachable. When the mouthpiece assembly 220 is removed, the single atomizer head 201 can be replaced, and multiple single atomizer heads 201 can be loaded at one time.

[0052] Reference Figure 9 The single atomizing head 201 includes an upper cover 2011, an atomizing tube 2012, a matrix container 2013, a liquid guiding medium 2014, a heating element 2015, a lower cover 2016, and an input electrode 2017. The aerosol matrix is ​​contained within the matrix container 2013, and the heating element 2015 is electrically connected to the input electrode 2017. After being powered on, the heating element generates heat, and the aerosol matrix enters the heating element through the liquid guiding medium 2014. After being heated, it is converted into an aerosol and output through the atomizing tube 2012. In this embodiment, the liquid guiding medium 2014 is made of liquid-guiding cotton. In other embodiments, the liquid guiding medium can also be porous ceramic or the like.

[0053] In another embodiment, a gear can be fixedly installed at the inner end of the buckle 106. The buckle 106 is mounted to the atomizing body via the spindle of the gear. The gear directly or indirectly meshes with the rack 112 on the push shaft 102, thereby forming a linkage mechanism between the buckle 106 and the push shaft 102. When the buckle 106 is engaged, the gear at the inner end of the buckle 106 rotates, which drives the rack 112 to move, thereby driving the push shaft 102 to move. In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism between the buckle 106 and the rotating sleeve 103 is the same as in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0054] As another implementation, the resetter of the latch 106 can also be a torsion spring, which is placed at the fulcrum of the latch. Since the latch is linked to the push shaft, the push shaft can also be reset by the torsion spring.

[0055] exist Figure 4 In this embodiment, in the linkage mechanism between the latch and the rotating sleeve, a torsion spring 1092 is used as an elastic element to press the pawl 1091 against the ratchet 1031, so that the pawl 1091 and the ratchet 1031 can reliably engage. Those skilled in the art should understand that a tension spring can be provided between the side of the connecting rod 109 facing the ratchet 1031 and the slider 107, or a compression spring can be provided between the side of the connecting rod 109 facing away from the ratchet 1031 and the slider 107, which can also achieve the effect of pressing the pawl 1091 against the ratchet 1031, so that the pawl 1091 and the ratchet 1031 can reliably engage.

[0056] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific embodiments. These detailed descriptions are only intended to help those skilled in the art understand the content of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Various modifications and equivalent transformations made by those skilled in the art to the above solutions under the concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
