Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer and atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosols are colloidal dispersion systems formed by the dispersion and suspension of small solid or liquid particles in a gaseous medium. Since aerosols can be absorbed by the human body through the respiratory system, they provide users with a new alternative absorption method. For example, nebulizers that generate aerosols by baking and heating herbal aerosol-generating matrices can be used in various fields such as medicine to deliver inhalable aerosols to users, replacing conventional product forms and absorption methods.

[0003] Existing atomizers typically use cylindrical wound cotton wick heating elements to heat the atomized liquid. These cylindrical wound cotton wick heating elements are mainly assembled by winding the cotton wick with heating elements such as spring heating wires and heating mesh. The winding process is relatively complex and requires manual completion. Therefore, the assembly efficiency is limited by human factors such as the worker's skill level and the force applied during operation. This results in low assembly efficiency and poor assembly consistency, which affects the user experience and lifespan of the atomizer. Summary of the Invention

[0035] See Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides an atomizer 100, which is electrically connected to a power source (not shown). The atomizer 100 is used to store and heat an aerosol generating matrix under the action of electrical energy from the power source, so that the aerosol generating matrix generates an aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the atomizer 100 has a tripod-shaped structure with a rectangular, circular, or elliptical cross-section, including a housing 10, an air outlet rod 30, an atomizing body 50, an atomizing module 70, and electrode components 90. The housing 10 stores and provides the aerosol-generating matrix to the atomizing module 70. The atomizing body 50 is attached to one end of the housing 10 and is used to mount the atomizing module 70 and electrode components 90. The atomizing module 70 is electrically connected to a power source via the electrode components 90. Electrical energy supplied by the power source is transferred to the atomizing module 70 through the electrode components 90 to heat the aerosol-generating matrix in the atomizing module 70 to generate aerosol. The aerosol is discharged from the atomizer 100 through the air outlet rod 30. In the following embodiments, the aerosol-generating matrix is ​​a flowable liquid atomizing medium.

[0037] The outer casing 10 has a hollow shell structure, including a top wall and side walls extending from the edge of the top wall in the same direction. The side walls circumferentially surround the top wall to form a liquid storage chamber 12 with one end open. In the following embodiments, the length direction of the outer casing 10 is the first direction (e.g., Figure 2 The width direction of the outer shell 10 is the second direction (e.g., the X direction in the middle), and the width direction of the outer shell 10 is the second direction (e.g., the X direction in the middle). Figure 2 The Y direction in the middle), the height direction of the outer shell 10 is the third direction (e.g., the ... Figure 2 (Z direction in the equation). Among them, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0038] Furthermore, the top wall of the outer shell has a connecting hole that connects the liquid storage chamber 12 to the external environment. The air outlet rod 30 has a hollow tubular structure to form an air outlet channel 32 with openings at both ends. One end of the air outlet rod 30 is connected to the top wall of the outer shell and communicates with the connecting hole, while the other end of the air outlet rod 30 extends in a third direction to the opening end of the liquid storage chamber 12 to mate with the atomizing body 50. In this way, the atomizing body 50 communicates with the external environment through the air outlet rod 30, and the aerosol in the atomizing body 50 flows into the external environment through the air outlet channel 32.

[0039] The atomizing body 50 is fitted to the open end of the liquid storage tank 12 and communicates with the liquid storage tank 12. It includes a first assembly part and a second assembly part. After assembly, the first and second assembly parts form an atomizing cavity 51 for assembling the atomizing module 70. The atomizing module 70 is supported on one of the first and second assembly parts, while the other part presses against the atomizing module 70 along the assembly direction, holding the atomizing module 70 within the atomizing cavity 51. Thus, the first assembly part, the second assembly part, and the atomizing module 70 are modularly arranged, allowing for layer-by-layer arrangement during production, enabling automated assembly of the atomizer 100. In this application, one of the first and second assembly parts is constructed as an atomizing base 52, and the other is constructed as an atomizing cover 54.

[0040] Specifically, the atomizing base 52 has a hollow shell structure, including a base bottom wall 521 and a base side wall 522 extending in the same direction from the edge of the base bottom wall 521. The base side wall 522 surrounds the base bottom wall 521 to form a base receiving space with one open end. The base bottom wall 521 is engaged with the end of the outer shell side wall away from the top wall of the outer shell, and the base side wall 522 extends into the liquid storage chamber 12.

[0041] Furthermore, the atomizing base 52 also includes two isolating members 523, which are spaced apart along a second direction within the base receiving space. Each isolating member 523 extends from the base bottom wall 521 along a third direction to the opening end of the base receiving space, thereby dividing the base receiving space into a base receiving cavity 524 and two base liquid guiding cavities 525. The base receiving cavity 524 is located in the middle of the base receiving space to correspond to the air outlet channel 32 and is used to support and house the atomizing module 70. The two base liquid guiding cavities 525 are located on opposite sides of the base receiving cavity 524 in the second direction to correspond to the liquid storage tank 12. Each isolating member 523 has two base liquid guiding holes 5232 spaced apart along the second direction at one end connected to the base bottom wall 521, and each base liquid guiding cavity 525 communicates with the base receiving cavity 524 through the two base liquid guiding holes 5232. Thus, the liquid atomizing medium in the storage tank 12 first enters the liquid guiding chamber 525 of the base, and then enters the atomizing module 70 of the base receiving chamber 524 through the liquid guiding hole 5232 of the base. It can be understood that the number and location of the liquid guiding holes 5232 of the base are not limited, and can be set as needed to meet different requirements.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the bottom of the base receiving cavity 524 is provided with a base liquid guiding channel 526 communicating with the atomizing cavity 51. A portion of each base liquid guiding hole 5232 is correspondingly arranged with the base liquid guiding channel 526, and the other portion of the base liquid guiding hole 5232 is circumferentially connected to the atomizing module 70 in the base receiving cavity 524. In this way, part of the liquid atomizing medium flowing out of the base liquid guiding hole 5232 enters the base liquid guiding channel 526, and the other portion directly enters the atomizing module 70 in the atomizing cavity 51. Subsequently, these two portions of liquid atomizing medium are respectively transferred to various parts of the atomizing module 70 in the atomizing cavity 51 in a third direction through capillary action, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the liquid atomizing medium.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom wall of the atomizing chamber 51 is provided with multiple base liquid guiding channels 526, which are interconnected, so that the liquid atomizing medium can be evenly distributed in various areas of the bottom wall of the atomizing chamber 51, thereby improving the uniformity of the liquid atomizing medium in the atomizing module 70.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom wall of the atomizing chamber 51 is provided with a plurality of arrayed liquid-guiding protrusions. These protrusions define and form multiple longitudinal and multiple transverse base liquid-guiding channels 526. The longitudinal base liquid-guiding channels 526 are spaced apart along a first direction. Each longitudinal base liquid-guiding channel 526 extends from one side of the atomizing chamber 51 to the other side along a second direction. The transverse base liquid-guiding channels 526 are also spaced apart along the second direction. Each transverse base liquid-guiding channel 526 extends from one end of the atomizing chamber 51 to the other end along the first direction, and each longitudinal base liquid-guiding channel 526 intersects with each transverse base liquid-guiding channel 526. Thus, the liquid atomizing medium flowing into the atomizing chamber 51 flows through the multiple base liquid-guiding channels 526 and is evenly distributed at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 51, thereby providing a uniform liquid supply to the atomizing module 70 and making the atomization of the liquid atomizing medium more uniform.

[0045] It is understood that the number and arrangement of the base liquid guiding channels 526 are not limited to this, and can be set as needed. In some other embodiments, liquid can be guided from the bottom of the atomizing module 70 only through the base liquid guiding channels 526, or from the periphery of the atomizing module 70 only through the base liquid guiding holes 5232.

[0046] In some embodiments, the atomizing base 52 is also provided with an air inlet channel and an air distribution hole 5223 that connects to the external environment. External airflow enters the atomizing chamber 51 through the air inlet channel and the air distribution hole 5223, and then envelops and carries the aerosol out of the atomizing chamber 51.

[0047] Specifically, the atomizing base 52 has a first base air inlet groove 5212 on its bottom wall 521. The first base air inlet groove 5212 is spaced below the atomizing chamber 51 and extends through the bottom wall 521 in the second direction. The bottom wall of the first base air inlet groove 5212 has a base air inlet hole that extends in the third direction and connects to the external environment. The outer surface of the atomizing sidewall has a second base air inlet groove 5221 on each side in the second direction. The second base air inlet groove 5221 extends in the third direction. One end of the second base air inlet groove 5221 is connected to the first base air inlet groove 5212. A plurality of air distribution holes 5223 are opened on the groove wall of the second base air inlet groove 5221 away from the first base air inlet groove 5212 and are connected to the atomizing chamber 51. The plurality of air distribution holes 5223 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the atomizing base 52. In one specific embodiment, the atomizing base 52 has three air distribution holes 5223 on each of its two sides in the second direction, and the three air distribution holes 5223 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. It is understood that the number of air distribution holes 5223 is not limited and can be set as needed.

[0048] Thus, the base air inlet, the first base air inlet groove 5212, and the second base air inlet groove 5221 together form an air intake channel. Airflow flows from the base air inlet into the first base air inlet groove 5212, then through the second base air inlet groove 5221 into multiple air distribution holes 5223, and finally into the atomization chamber 51. Because the airflow flows evenly into the atomization chamber 51 through multiple air distribution holes 5223, it can fully encapsulate the aerosol flow. Compared with the existing center hole air supply method, this is more conducive to reducing the condensation of smoke after atomization and improving the aroma intensity.

[0049] The atomizing cap 54 is assembled in a third direction to the open end of the atomizing base 52, including a top wall of the atomizing cap and a side wall of the atomizing cap extending in the same direction from the edge of the top wall of the atomizing cap. The side wall of the atomizing cap surrounds the top wall of the atomizing cap to form an atomizing cavity together with the top wall of the atomizing cap. The end of the side wall of the atomizing cap away from the top wall of the atomizing cap is provided with a buckle to engage with the base side wall 522 of the atomizing base 52.

[0050] Furthermore, the atomizing cap receiving cavity is provided with an atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 and two atomizing cap liquid inlet chambers 543. The atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 is located in the middle of the atomizing cap receiving cavity. The atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 is connected to the base receiving cavity 524 of the atomizing base 52 to form an atomizing cavity 51 together with the base receiving cavity 524. One end of the air outlet rod 30 at the other end of the atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 is inserted into the other end of the atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 to connect to the atomizing cavity 51 of the atomizing base 52. The aerosol in the atomizing cavity 51 can flow from the atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 into the air outlet channel 32. The two atomizing cap liquid inlet chambers 543 are located on opposite sides of the atomizing cap air outlet chamber 541 in the first direction. The two atomizing cap liquid inlet chambers 543 are respectively connected to the two base liquid guiding chambers 525 of the atomizing base 52 and the liquid storage chamber 12 of the outer shell 10. The liquid atomizing medium in the liquid storage chamber 12 can flow into the base liquid guiding chamber 525 through the atomizing cap liquid inlet chamber 543.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the end of the atomizing cover 54 near the atomizing module 70 is made of an insulating material with a certain rigidity and temperature resistance, such as high-temperature resistant plastic or ceramic material.

[0052] In some embodiments, the atomizing body 50 further includes a cover seal 56. The cover seal 56 is formed of silicone material and covers the end of the atomizing cover 54 away from the atomizing base 52 to provide a seal, preventing the liquid atomizing medium in the liquid storage chamber 12 from flowing out through the gap between the atomizing cover 54 and the side wall of the outer shell. The cover seal 56 has through holes that communicate with the air outlet chamber 541 and the liquid inlet chamber 543 of the atomizing cover. Therefore, the liquid atomizing medium in the liquid storage chamber 12 can pass through the cover seal 56 and enter the liquid inlet chamber 543 of the atomizing cover. The aerosol in the air outlet chamber 541 of the atomizing cover can also pass through the cover seal 56 and enter the air outlet channel 32.

[0053] The atomizing module 70 is assembled within the atomizing chamber 51 and includes a substrate 72 and a heating element 74. The substrate 72 is supported on the atomizing base 52 and consists of at least one layer of cotton, having an atomizing surface for discharging the liquid atomizing medium. The cotton layer can be formed from one or more of organic cotton, fiber cotton, or foam cotton, and the number and thickness of the cotton layers can be set as needed. The heating element 74 is a mesh structure formed from heating wire, mesh, heating film, or foam metal. The heating element 74 is laid on the atomizing surface and electrically connected to a power source for heating and atomizing the liquid atomizing medium discharged from the atomizing surface. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate 72 has a cuboid structure, and the atomizing surface is a plane or arc surface formed on one side of the substrate 72, with the heating element 74 laid on the atomizing surface.

[0054] Thus, compared to the manual assembly method of winding the atomizing module 70 in the prior art, the heating element 74 of the atomizing module 70 in this application is directly laid on one side surface of the substrate 72. Therefore, it can be automatically assembled by automated equipment, which effectively improves the assembly efficiency and product consistency of the atomizing module 70 and saves production costs.

[0055] It should be noted that the atomizing surface can be a plane or a circular arc surface, and its curvature is allowed to vary to a certain extent.

[0056] Specifically, in some embodiments, the atomizing surface is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 72 facing the atomizing cover 54. When the atomizing module 70 is housed in the atomizing chamber 51, the substrate 72 is supported on the atomizing base 52, the heating element 74 faces the atomizing cover 54, and the cavity wall of the atomizing cover outlet chamber 541 of the atomizing cover 54 presses against the sides or all around the heating element 74 to press the heating element 74 tightly against the atomizing surface. In this way, the heating element 74 is tightly fitted to the substrate 72 under the action of the atomizing cover 54. Part of the liquid atomizing medium flowing in from the liquid guiding hole 5232 of the base flows directly into the end of the substrate 72 away from the heating element 74, and part of it is evenly distributed in the liquid guiding channel 526 of the base, and then gradually penetrates the substrate 72 and reaches the heating element 74 from the side surface of the substrate 72 away from the heating element 74 in a third direction.

[0057] Furthermore, the substrate 72 has two through-holes, which are spaced apart in a second direction. Each through-hole extends from the surface of the substrate 72 toward the liquid channel 526 in a third direction to the atomizing surface. One end of each of the two electrodes 90 is inserted into the two through-holes to contact the positive and negative electrodes of the heating element 74, respectively. The other ends of the two electrodes 90 pass through the bottom wall 521 of the atomizing base 52 to be electrically connected to the power supply.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the atomizing surface is formed on one side surface of the substrate 72 in the second direction. When the atomizing module 70 is housed within the atomizing chamber 51, the substrate 72 is supported on the atomizing base 52, and the heating element 74 is located on one side of the substrate 72 in the second direction. Thus, a portion of the liquid atomizing medium flowing in from the base liquid guiding hole 5232 flows directly into both sides of the substrate 72 in the second direction, while a portion is evenly distributed in the base liquid guiding channel 526, and then gradually reaches the heating element 74 from one side of the substrate 72.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the atomizing surface is formed on the bottom surface of the substrate 72 facing the liquid guiding channel 526 of the base. When the atomizing module 70 is housed in the atomizing chamber 51, the heating element 74 is located at the bottom of the substrate 72 facing the liquid guiding channel 526 of the base. Thus, a portion of the liquid atomizing medium flowing in from the liquid guiding hole 5232 of the base flows directly into the end of the substrate 72 near the heating element 74, while a portion is evenly distributed in the liquid guiding channel 526 of the base, then passes through the heating element 74 to reach the substrate 72 and gradually permeates to the side of the substrate 72 away from the heating element 74.

[0060] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, to prevent leakage of the atomizing module 70 during storage, a shut-off valve can be added to the flow path of the liquid atomizing medium between the liquid storage tank 12 and the atomizing module 70. The shut-off valve remains closed when no suction occurs, thereby preventing the liquid atomizing medium from flowing into the atomizing module 70. During the use of the atomizer 100, the shut-off valve switches to the open state, thereby allowing the liquid atomizing medium to flow into the atomizing module 70.

[0061] The working principle of the atomizer 100 is as follows:

[0062] The liquid atomizing medium in the liquid storage chamber 12 of the outer shell 10 passes sequentially through the cover seal 56 and the atomizing cover liquid inlet chamber 543 of the atomizing cover 54 into the two base liquid guiding chambers 525. A portion of the atomizing liquid enters the substrate 72 of the atomizing module 70 in the atomizing chamber 51 through the base liquid guiding hole 5232 on the isolator 523, while the other portion enters the base liquid guiding channel 526 located on one side of the atomizing module 70 through the base liquid guiding hole 5232 to achieve uniform distribution on one side of the atomizing module 70. Subsequently, these two portions of liquid atomizing medium are transmitted to various parts of the substrate 72 in a third direction via capillary action, finally reaching the atomizing surface where the heating element 74 is laid. The current output from the power supply flows into the heating element 74 through the electrode 90, causing the heating element 74 to heat the liquid atomizing medium on the atomizing surface, generating an aerosol upon heating.

[0063] Meanwhile, external airflow enters the first base air inlet groove 5212 through the base air inlet hole, then enters multiple air distribution holes 5223 through the first base air inlet groove 5212, and then enters the atomization chamber 51 carrying the encapsulated aerosol and flows out from the air outlet channel 32.

[0064] The aforementioned atomizing module 70 and atomizer 100, because the heating element 74 is laid on the atomizing surface of the substrate 72, make it easier to monitor and control the temperature field distribution on the atomizing surface, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature field distribution during atomization. The atomizing base 52, atomizing cover 54, substrate 72, and heating element 74 can be arranged layer by layer as standardized modular components, thus enabling automated assembly and production of the atomizer 100 and solving the problems of low efficiency and poor product consistency in the manual assembly of existing cylindrical wound cotton wick heating elements.

[0065] Moreover, the atomizer 100 achieves simultaneous horizontal and vertical multi-dimensional liquid guidance by combining the base liquid guiding hole 5232 and the base liquid guiding channel 526. Compared with the liquid supply method that relies solely on a single liquid guiding hole in the prior art, it is easier to achieve uniform liquid supply and uniform atomization.

[0066] In addition, the uniform airflow provided by the circumferentially arranged air distribution holes 5223 can carry and encapsulate the aerosol flow to a greater extent. Compared with the central hole air supply method in the prior art, it is more conducive to reducing condensation after atomization and improving the aroma intensity of the aerosol.

[0067] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0068] 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.
