[0028] This application provides an atomizing module. Please also refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 1This is an exploded structural diagram of an embodiment of the atomizing module provided in this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional structural diagram of the atomizing module in the embodiment from one viewpoint. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the atomizing module from another perspective is shown in the embodiment. The atomizing module 100 may include a base 10, a first atomizing element 20, and a second atomizing element 30. The second atomizing element 30 is different from the first atomizing element 20. Both the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 are housed within the base 10. The first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 can work independently or in combination to heat at least a portion of the matrix to generate aerosol that reaches the inhalation end, allowing the user to freely select the atomization mode.

[0029] The atomizing module 100 provided in this application, by setting a first atomizing element 20 and a second atomizing element 30, wherein the second atomizing element 30 is different from the first atomizing element 20, the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 can work independently or in combination to heat at least part of the matrix to generate aerosol, so the atomizing module 100 has a variety of atomizing modes to choose from, and users can freely choose different atomizing modes to experience different tastes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0030] The first atomizing element 30 differs from the second atomizing element 20 in that they have different atomization effects on the substrate. For example, both the first atomizing element 30 and the second atomizing element 20 are heating atomization type atomizing elements, but they have different operating powers. Users can select the mode to make the atomizing module 100 operate at different powers. As another example, the first atomizing element 30 is a heating atomization type atomizing element, and the second atomizing element 20 is an ultrasonic vibration type atomizing element; users can obtain different flavors by selecting the mode.

[0031] The atomizing module 100 may also be provided with a bracket 40, which is housed in the base 10, and the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 are mounted on the bracket 40.

[0032] Specifically, both the support 40 and the base 10 may be cylindrical. The support 40 may include a support sidewall 41 and a support base plate 42, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a support embodiment provided in this application. The support base plate 42 is connected to the end of the support side wall 41 away from the intake end. The support side wall 41 and the support base plate 42 enclose an installation space 43 for mounting the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30. The base 10 may include a base side wall 11 and a base plate 12. The base plate 12 and the base side wall 11 are connected to form an accommodating space 13 for accommodating the support 40, the first atomizing element 20, and the second atomizing element 30.

[0033] By setting the base 10, the bracket 40, the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 are all integrated into the base 10, making the atomizing module 100 an independent module. It can be transplanted to the same type of atomizing device as long as a circuit plug interface is reserved on the base 10, which enhances the compatibility and practicality of the atomizing module 100.

[0034] The first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 can be a resistive heating wire set on ceramic, or a heating circuit formed on the ceramic surface using physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes such as vacuum evaporation coating, vacuum sputtering coating or vacuum ion plating, or a porous conductive atomizing device formed by ultrasonic atomizing sheet or conductive ceramic with high conductivity.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first atomizing element 20 is a ceramic atomizing element 21, and the second atomizing element 30 is an ultrasonic atomizing element 31. The ceramic atomizing element 21 and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 are arranged sequentially away from the intake end. To transfer the matrix to the ultrasonic atomizing element 31, the atomizing module 100 is further provided with a liquid guiding column 50. The liquid guiding column 50 passes through the ceramic atomizing element 21 and abuts against the ultrasonic atomizing element 31, so that the matrix can be transferred to the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 via the liquid guiding column 50. The liquid guiding column 50 can be made of ceramic fiber, glass fiber, or hard porous ceramic. The liquid guiding column 50 has a strong matrix adsorption force, so that the speed at which the liquid guiding column 50 transfers the matrix to the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 can meet the atomization speed of the matrix by the ultrasonic atomizing element 31. There can be multiple liquid guiding columns 50, which are evenly distributed on the ceramic atomizing element 21.

[0036] Specifically, the ceramic atomizing element 21 may include a ceramic porous body 23 and a heating electrode 24. Please also refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the ceramic atomizing element provided in this application from one viewpoint. Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the ceramic atomizing element provided in this application from another perspective. The ceramic porous body 23 may include an outer cylinder 231, an inner cylinder 232, and a porous body base plate 233. The outer cylinder 231, inner cylinder 232, and porous body base plate 233 surround and form an atomizing liquid absorption groove 234, in which a matrix to be atomized is contained. A liquid guiding column 50 passes through the atomizing liquid absorption groove 234 and abuts against the ultrasonic atomizing element 31. Heating electrodes 24 are radially arranged on the porous body base plate 233 outside the atomizing liquid absorption groove 234. The matrix to be atomized can permeate through the pores of the porous body base plate 233 to the heating electrodes 24, and the heating electrodes 24 heat the matrix to generate an aerosol. The inner cylinder 232 has ceramic atomizing vents 235 longitudinally along the atomizing module 100 so that external air or aerosol atomized by the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 can flow to the suction end. The heating efficiency of setting the heating electrode 24 on the ceramic porous body 23 is high, but the temperature of the heating electrode 24 is usually high. Repeated use may cause fatigue fracture of the heating electrode 24, affecting the service life of the ceramic atomizing element 21.

[0037] The ultrasonic atomizing element 31 may include an atomizing plate 33 and an ultrasonic oscillating plate 34, which are stacked sequentially in a direction away from the inhalation end. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ultrasonic atomizing component provided in this application from a certain perspective. Multiple micropores 35 are provided on the atomizing plate 33 and the ultrasonic oscillating plate 34. The micropores 35 can be fabricated using a laser. The ultrasonic oscillating plate 34 can be made of piezoelectric ceramic and can vibrate at high frequency under high-frequency alternating current excitation to ultrasonically atomize the matrix on the surface of the atomizing plate 33. The ultrasonic oscillating plate 34 drives the atomizing plate 33 to vibrate at high frequency, striking the matrix on the surface of the atomizing plate 33, causing the matrix to be atomized and ejected from the micropores 35 of the atomizing plate 33. The diameter of the micropores 35 of the atomizing plate 33 affects the size of the atomized particles of the matrix; therefore, the diameter of the micropores 35 can be set as needed. Ultrasonic atomization results in a more uniform taste.

[0038] The atomization mode of the atomization module 100, which includes a ceramic atomizing element 21 and an ultrasonic atomizing element 31, may include at least one of a first atomization mode, a second atomization mode, a third atomization mode, and a fourth atomization mode. Specifically, the first atomization mode is that the ceramic atomizing element 21 works independently to heat at least a portion of the substrate to generate an aerosol; the second atomization mode is that the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 works independently to heat at least a portion of the substrate to generate an aerosol; the third atomization mode is that the ceramic atomizing element 21 and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 work together, with the ceramic atomizing element 21 preheating the substrate to reduce its viscosity, and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 heating at least a portion of the substrate after preheating by the ceramic atomizing element 21 to generate an aerosol; and the fourth atomization mode is that the ceramic atomizing element 21 and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 work together to simultaneously heat at least a portion of the substrate to generate an aerosol.

[0039] To reduce energy consumption during operation of the atomization module 100, the ceramic atomizing element 21 can be set to operate at low power in the third atomization mode. In one embodiment, the ratio of the heating power of the ceramic atomizing element 21 in the third atomization mode to that in the first atomization mode is 0.3 to 0.6, and the preheating temperature of the ceramic atomizing element 21 on the substrate does not exceed 60°C. Specifically, the ratio of the heating power of the ceramic atomizing element 21 in the third atomization mode to that in the first atomization mode can be 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, etc.; the preheating temperature of the ceramic atomizing element 21 on the substrate can be 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60°C, etc., and the preferred preheating temperature is 30 to 40°C. In the first atomization mode, the heating temperature of the ceramic atomizing element 21 on the substrate is approximately 200–300°C. In the third atomization mode, the heating power of the ceramic atomizing element 21 is much lower than that in the first atomization mode. When the heating power and preheating temperature of the ceramic atomizing element 21 on the substrate are within the above range, it can effectively reduce the viscosity of the substrate to prevent the micropores 35 from clogging, improve the atomization efficiency of the ultrasonic atomizing element 31, and also help reduce the energy consumption of the atomization module 100.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the ceramic atomizing element 21 includes a temperature sensing element 25, which monitors the temperature at which the ceramic atomizing element 21 preheats the substrate. In the third atomization mode, when the temperature sensing element 25 detects that the substrate temperature is higher than the set temperature, the ceramic atomizing element 21 no longer preheats the substrate to reduce the energy consumption of the ceramic atomizing element 21.

[0041] The first atomizing element 20 is set as a ceramic atomizing element 21, and the second atomizing element 30 is set as an ultrasonic atomizing element 31. On the one hand, the ceramic atomizing element 21 and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 can work independently or in combination, allowing users to freely choose the atomization mode and enjoy the different tastes brought by the various atomization modes of the ceramic atomizing element 21 and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31. On the other hand, the ceramic atomizing element 21 can be used to preheat the substrate to reduce the viscosity of the substrate. The preheated substrate is then atomized by the ultrasonic atomizing element 31, which can greatly improve the working efficiency of the ultrasonic atomizing element 31. In addition, the preheated substrate has better fluidity, which can reduce the risk of the micropores 35 being blocked, thereby improving the service life of the ultrasonic atomizing element 31. Furthermore, compared with an atomization module that only sets a ceramic atomizing element 21 or an ultrasonic atomizing element 31, the atomization module 100 has both a ceramic atomizing element 21 and an ultrasonic atomizing element 31, which can reduce the working frequency of the ceramic atomizing element 21 or the ultrasonic atomizing element 31, thereby improving the service life of the atomization module 100.

[0042] Heating electrode 24 is provided with heating electrode contact 241. Heating electrode 24 is connected to power supply through conductive sheet 242. Conductive sheet limiting groove 44 is provided on the outer periphery of bracket 40. Conductive sheet 242 is accommodated in conductive sheet limiting groove 44, which can prevent conductive sheet 242 from protruding and affecting the assembly of ultrasonic atomizing component 31.

[0043] The ultrasonic oscillating plate 34 is provided with ultrasonic plate contacts 341. The ultrasonic oscillating plate 34 is connected to the power supply through conductive posts 342, which pass through the base plate 12.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the atomizing module 100 further includes a clamping ring 60, which may be cylindrical. The clamping ring 60 is disposed between the ceramic atomizing element 21 and the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 to fix the ultrasonic atomizing element 31. By adjusting the height of the clamping ring 60, the clamping ring 60 can just press the atomizing plate 33 and the ultrasonic oscillating plate 34 to ensure that the atomizing plate 33 and the ultrasonic oscillating plate 34 can work stably.

[0045] The bracket 40 is provided with a ceramic atomizing element limiting post 45 near the air intake end. The outer periphery of the ceramic atomizing element 21 is provided with a ceramic atomizing element limiting groove 211 corresponding to the ceramic atomizing element limiting post 45. The ceramic atomizing element limiting post 45 is inserted into the ceramic atomizing element limiting groove 211 to fix the ceramic atomizing element 21, which facilitates the assembly of parts.

[0046] The base plate 12 and the support base plate 42 are respectively provided with arrayed heating wiring holes 14 and ultrasonic wiring holes 15 for passing through conductive posts 342 that are electrically connected to an external power source. The conductive posts 342 in the ultrasonic wiring holes 15 can directly contact and conduct with the ultrasonic plate contacts 341 on the ultrasonic oscillating plate 34. The conductive posts 342 in the heating wiring holes 14 are first connected to the conductive plate 242, and then connected to the heating electrode contacts 241 on the heating electrode 24 through the conductive plate 242 to form a circuit.

[0047] The base plate 12 is provided with a base air inlet groove 121, and the bracket base plate 42 is provided with a bracket air inlet hole 46 corresponding to the base air inlet groove 121, so that external air can flow through the base air inlet groove 121, the bracket air inlet hole 46, the ultrasonic atomizing component 31, the clamping ring 60 and the ceramic atomizing air hole 235 in sequence.

[0048] This application provides an atomizing device; please also refer to... Figures 8-11 The atomizing device 1000 may include a battery module 200, a control module 300, an atomizing module 100 as described above, and an oil storage module 400, wherein the battery module 200, the control module 300, the atomizing module 100, and the oil storage module 400 are connected in sequence.

[0049] The battery module 200 provides power to the atomizing device 1000, and the control module 300 is used for power management, atomization control, and human-machine interaction.

[0050] The atomizing module 100 may include a base 10, a first atomizing element 20 and a second atomizing element 30. The second atomizing element 30 is different from the first atomizing element 20. Both the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 are housed within the base 10. The first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 can work independently or in combination to heat at least part of the matrix to generate aerosol that reaches the intake end.

[0051] The oil storage module 400 is used to store the matrix and transfer the matrix to the atomizing module 100.

[0052] Specifically, the control module 300 is equipped with a button 310, which allows the user to select the atomization mode. The control module 300 may also include a Bluetooth module or a WiFi module, enabling the user to connect to the atomizing device 1000 via an app and control the atomization mode of the atomizing device 1000.

[0053] The oil storage module 400 may include a suction nozzle 410, an oil storage tank 420, and a leak-proof plug 430. The suction nozzle 410 is connected to the oil storage tank 420. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 12 , Figure 12This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the oil storage module provided in this application. The suction nozzle 410 may be in the shape of a hollow tube, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the suction nozzle 410 connected to the oil storage tank 420 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the opposite end away from the oil storage tank 420.

[0054] The oil storage tank 420 includes an inner sidewall 421, an outer sidewall 422, a top plate 423, and a bottom plate 424. The inner sidewall 421 is housed within the outer sidewall 422. The top plate 423 and the bottom plate 424 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the inner sidewall 421 and the outer sidewall 422. The inner sidewall 421, the outer sidewall 422, the top plate 423, and the bottom plate 424 enclose an oil storage space 425, which is used to store the substrate. The end of the outer sidewall 422 away from the nozzle 410 is recessed towards the inner sidewall 421 so that the outer sidewall 422 can be partially housed in the atomizing liquid suction groove 234 of the atomizing module 100.

[0055] An air intake hole 426 is formed by the inner wall 421. The air intake hole 426 passes through the top plate 423 and the bottom plate 424 of the oil tank and communicates with the nozzle 410. A leak-proof plug 430 is housed in the air intake hole 426. The leak-proof plug 430 is made of a porous material to allow aerosols to pass through the leak-proof plug 430 into the nozzle 410 and to prevent the matrix in the atomizing module 100 from flowing into the oil storage module 400. The aerosols generated by atomization can pass freely through the leak-proof plug 430. By using materials with different pore sizes, the aerosols can also be filtered.

[0056] The oil tank bottom plate 424 is provided with a liquid guiding hole 4241 and a dripping hole 4242. The liquid guiding hole 4241 contains a liquid guiding column 50. The oil storage module 400 transfers the matrix to the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 through the dripping hole 4242 and the liquid guiding column 50, respectively. There can be multiple liquid guiding holes 4241 and dripping holes 4242, which can be distributed alternately on the oil tank bottom plate 424.

[0057] This application provides an atomization method 500 for controlling the atomization device 1000 as described above. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the atomization method provided in this application. The atomization method 500 includes steps S510 to S520:

[0058] S510, acquires interaction information, which is used to specify the atomization mode;

[0059] S520 controls the atomization module 100 to heat at least part of the matrix to generate aerosol according to the specified atomization mode.

[0060] The atomization mode includes an independent working mode and a combined working mode. In the independent working mode, the first atomizing element 20 or the second atomizing element 30 works independently. In the combined working mode, the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 work simultaneously.

[0061] The atomization method 500 provided in this application offers a variety of atomization modes to choose from, allowing users to freely select different atomization modes to experience different flavors, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0062] Specifically, the independent working mode includes a first atomization mode and a second atomization mode:

[0063] The first atomization mode is that the first atomizing element 20 is connected to the battery module 200, the second atomizing element 30 is disconnected from the battery module 200, and the first atomizing element 20 works independently to heat at least part of the matrix to generate aerosol.

[0064] The second atomization mode is that the first atomizing element 20 is disconnected from the battery module 200, and the second atomizing element 30 is connected to the battery module 200. The second atomizing element 30 works independently to heat at least part of the matrix to generate aerosol.

[0065] The combined working modes include a third atomization mode and a fourth atomization mode:

[0066] The third atomization mode is as follows: both the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 are connected to the battery module 200. The first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 work together. The first atomizing element 20 preheats the substrate, thereby reducing the viscosity of the substrate. The second atomizing element 30 heats at least a portion of the substrate that has been preheated by the first atomizing element 20 to generate an aerosol.

[0067] The fourth atomization mode is that the first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 are both connected to the battery module 200. The first atomizing element 20 and the second atomizing element 30 work together to heat at least part of the matrix to generate aerosol.

[0068] In one embodiment, the first atomizing element 20 is a ceramic atomizing element 21, and the second atomizing element 30 is an ultrasonic atomizing element 31. The ceramic atomizing element 21 includes a temperature sensing element 25, which monitors the temperature at which the ceramic atomizing element 21 preheats the substrate. In the combined working mode, to improve the atomization efficiency of the ultrasonic atomizing element 31 and reduce the energy consumption of the atomization module 100, upper and lower limits of the preheating temperature of the ceramic atomizing element 21 on the substrate can be set. The upper limit of the preheating temperature can be 40-60°C, and the lower limit of the preheating temperature can be 30-40°C. Specifically, when the temperature sensing element 25 monitors that the ceramic atomizing element 21 preheats the substrate to the point that the substrate temperature exceeds the upper limit of the preheating temperature, the ceramic atomizing element 21 stops heating; when the temperature sensing element 25 monitors that the substrate temperature drops to the lower limit of the preheating temperature, the ceramic atomizing element 21 can restart preheating the substrate. The preferred temperature range for the ceramic atomizing element 21 to preheat the substrate is 30-40°C.

[0069] The atomizing module 100 and atomizing method 500 provided in this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0070] 1.
