Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of atomizing device technology, and in particular to an atomizing device with a replaceable filter element. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic vaporizer is an electronic product that mimics the function of a cigarette. It vaporizes tobacco components such as nicotine into a vapor for users to inhale. Compared to traditional cigarettes, the vapor produced by electronic vaporizers does not contain the tar and particulate matter found in traditional cigarettes, making it a good alternative.

[0003] In conventional e-cigarette devices, e-liquid or moisture sometimes doesn't atomize completely during inhalation, resulting in condensation that gets trapped in the vapor. Alternatively, moisture in the vapor may come into contact with the relatively cooler sidewalls of the vapor outlet, causing condensation into small droplets. These droplets then expand into larger droplets as they flow through the vapor, continuing to be carried by the remaining vapor and eventually inhaled. The atomizer's filter is needed to absorb this condensation for a good vaping experience. However, after a period of use, the filter becomes saturated and can no longer absorb condensation. If the user then inhales at this point, the condensation is easily inhaled, leading to a poor vaping experience and unpleasant taste.

[0004] Improvements to existing technologies are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Example

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A replaceable filter atomizing device includes a housing 1, a mouthpiece 2, a locking mechanism, an atomizing component, a circuit board 4, and a power supply component 5. The top of the housing 1 has an opening, and the mouthpiece 2 is closably disposed on the opening. A locking mechanism is provided between the mouthpiece 2 and the opening. The atomizing component, the circuit board 4, and the power supply component 5 are all disposed inside the housing 1. The atomizing outlet of the atomizing component is connected to the mouthpiece, and the user can inhale the vapor generated by the atomizing component through the mouthpiece. To prevent the user from inhaling the condensate, a filter groove is provided at the atomizing outlet of the atomizing component. A filter 36 is provided in the filter groove, and a filter detector 37 is provided at the bottom of the filter groove. The circuit board 4 is connected to the filter detector 37 and the power supply component 5.

[0037] Specifically, the filter element detector 37 is used to detect the state of the filter element 36. When the filter element 36 is saturated, its absorption effect on condensate decreases significantly. The filter element detector 37 then sends a filter element saturation signal to the circuit board 4. The circuit board 4 includes a microcontroller. After receiving the filter element saturation signal, the microcontroller sends an unlocking signal to the locking mechanism, causing the locking mechanism to unlock and releasing the suction nozzle 2. At this time, the user can open the suction nozzle 2 and replace the filter element 36 inside the housing 1. The microcontroller is also connected to an LED or a buzzer. When the microcontroller receives the filter element saturation signal, it can also remind the user to replace the filter element through sound and light.

[0038] In one embodiment, the filter element detector 37 is a weight sensor. The weight sensor acquires the weight data of the filter element 36 and sends the weight data to the microcontroller on the circuit board. The microcontroller compares the weight data with preset data. When the value of the weight data acquired from the weight sensor exceeds the preset data threshold, the microcontroller controls the locking mechanism to unlock the locking mechanism and release the suction nozzle 2.

[0039] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism includes an electromagnet 14 and an iron block 21. The electromagnet 14 is disposed at the opening of the housing 1 and is connected to the circuit board 4. The iron block 21 is disposed on the suction nozzle 2, corresponding to the electromagnet 14. The microcontroller on the circuit board controls the power supply component 5 to supply power to the electromagnet 14, causing the electromagnet 14 to generate a magnetic attraction force, which firmly attracts the iron block 21 disposed on the suction nozzle 2, thereby achieving a stable connection between the suction nozzle 2 and the housing 1.

[0040] To ensure the stability of the connection between the nozzle 2 and the housing 1, and to facilitate the opening and closing of the nozzle 2, the nozzle 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a rotating shaft 15. The rotating shaft 15 and the electromagnet 14 are respectively located on opposite sides of the opening of the housing.

[0041] In one embodiment, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the suction nozzle 2. When the electromagnet 14 is energized, the electromagnet 14 on the housing 1 attracts the iron block 21 on the suction nozzle 2, and the torsion spring is in a compressed state. When the electromagnet 14 is de-energized and loses its magnetism, the torsion spring elastically resets, causing the suction nozzle 2 to rotate around the rotating shaft 15 and open, exposing the filter element 36 in the opening of the housing for easy replacement by the user.

[0042] After the filter element 36 is replaced, the atomizing device is reset, and the microcontroller controls the power supply component 5 to supply power to the electromagnet 14 again. The user rotates the mouthpiece 2 around the shaft 15 to close the cover to the opening of the housing. The electromagnet 14 uses magnetic attraction to firmly hold the iron block 21 set on the mouthpiece 2, thus completing the replacement of the filter element 36, which is very convenient.

[0043] To prevent the mouthpiece from popping open while the user is inhaling, the microcontroller on the circuit board keeps the power supply component powered to the electromagnet when it detects that the atomizing component is working, thus preventing the mouthpiece from opening accidentally and affecting the user experience.

[0044] The atomizing assembly includes an atomizing assembly cover 31, an atomizing cylinder 32, and an atomizing assembly base 33. The atomizing assembly cover 31 and the atomizing assembly base 33 are respectively disposed at both ends of the atomizing cylinder 32. Preferably, the atomizing assembly cover 31 and the atomizing assembly base 33 are all connected to the atomizing cylinder 32 by threads. An atomizing liquid receiving cavity is formed between the atomizing assembly cover 31 and the atomizing assembly base 33. The filter element groove is disposed on the atomizing assembly cover 31. Specifically, the filter element groove is disposed on the side of the atomizing assembly cover 31 facing the mouthpiece 2. The atomizing assembly cover 31 has a through hole penetrating the bottom of the filter element groove. The bottom end of the through hole is connected to an atomizing tube 34 extending into the atomizing cylinder. One end of the atomizing tube 34 is connected to the atomizing outlet of the atomizing assembly through the through hole, and the other end of the atomizing tube 34 is connected to the atomizing assembly base 33.

[0045] The atomizing tube 34 is provided with an atomizing tube opening that communicates with the atomizing liquid accommodating cavity. The atomizing tube opening is located at one end near the atomizing component base 33. A heating wire assembly 35 is provided at the atomizing tube opening, and the heating wire assembly 35 is connected to the circuit board 4.

[0046] To prevent foreign objects from entering the atomizing tube 34, the opening of the atomizing tube is equipped with an atomizing tube filter screen, which can effectively prevent foreign objects in the atomizing liquid containment chamber from entering the atomizing tube 34.

[0047] The housing 1 specifically includes a top cover 11, a cylinder 12, and a base 13. The top cover 11 and the base 13 are respectively disposed at both ends of the cylinder 12. The top cover 11 and the base 13 are tightly fitted with the cylinder 12. The circuit board 4, the rotating shaft 15, and the electromagnet 14 are all disposed on the top cover 11, which greatly facilitates the assembly of the atomizing device.

[0048] To maintain pressure balance, the bottom cover 13 is provided with a vent hole, and an air inlet filter paper 131 is attached to the vent hole to prevent foreign objects from entering the atomizing device when the user inhales the vapor.

[0049] A gasket 51 is provided between the power supply component 5 and the housing 1. The gasket 51 can fix the power supply component 5 inside the housing 1 and provide a certain buffer to prevent the power supply component 5 from displacing and causing failure when the atomizing device is impacted.

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: It provides an atomizing device with a filter detection device, which can detect the saturation level of the filter of the atomizing device. When the saturation level of the filter reaches a preset value, the atomizing device can promptly remind the user to replace the filter in time, so as not to affect the inhalation taste and ensure a good user experience.

[0051] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
