[0039] This section will describe in detail specific embodiments of the present invention. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0041] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installing," and "connecting" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the atomizer circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100, a controller (not shown, but may be a microcontroller or other processor), a shielding cover 200, and a heat sink 300. The atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 includes an atomizing plate DT1 and an oscillation drive circuit electrically connected to the atomizing plate DT1. The oscillation drive circuit drives the atomizing plate DT1 to vibrate according to a signal from the controller. A first terminal of the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 is connected to a power supply VDD, and a second terminal is grounded. The atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 is also electrically connected to the controller via a connector CN1. The shielding cover 200 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD. The heat sink 300 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD and is used to dissipate heat from the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100. The shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300 cover the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100, so that the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 is located within the projection range of the shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300.

[0043] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 1 The atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 shown can be equivalent to: Figure 2 The circuit consists of the equivalent inductance L, equivalent capacitance C, and atomizing plate DT1; and since the shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300 cover the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100, and both the shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300 are electrically connected to the power supply VDD, the shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300 can be equivalent to... Figure 2 The shielding capacitor CP shown in the figure has one plate (CP). 上 The circuit connected to GND forms the other plate of the shielding capacitor CP (CP). 下Since the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 is located between the shielding capacitors CP, the energy leaked during oscillation can be absorbed by the shielding capacitors CP, minimizing the interference signal generated by the circuit. Therefore, according to the atomizer circuit of the present invention, by setting up the shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300, and placing the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 within the projection range of the shielding cover 200 and the heat sink 300, and with one end of the shielding cover 200, the heat sink 300, and the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 all connected to the power supply VDD, forming an equipotential and an electric field effect with GND, the interference radiation signal can be effectively absorbed by the shielding capacitors CP, thus enabling the atomizer to pass EMC testing. Simultaneously, the heat sink 300 can dissipate heat from the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100, preventing excessive temperature from affecting the normal operation of the circuit.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the oscillation driving circuit includes a transistor Q1, a first inductor L1, a second inductor L2, a first capacitor C1, a first resistor R1, a second capacitor C2, a third capacitor C3, and a third inductor L3; the collector of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD, the emitter of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first inductor L1, the second terminal of the first inductor L1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the second inductor L2, the second terminal of the second inductor L2 is grounded, the base of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first capacitor C1, and the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD; The first end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the base of the transistor Q1. The second end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the first end of the second capacitor C2. The second end of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the first end of the atomizing plate DT1. The second end of the atomizing plate DT1 is electrically connected to the power supply VDD. The first end of the third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the second end of the first resistor R1. The second end of the third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the connection point between the first inductor L1 and the second inductor L2. The first end of the third inductor L3 is electrically connected to the second end of the first resistor R1. The second end of the third inductor L3 is electrically connected to the controller through connector CN1.

[0045] The circuit consists of a transistor Q1, a first capacitor C1, and a first inductor L1 forming a three-point oscillation circuit. Since the atomizing element DT1 (transducer) can be considered a crystal oscillator with its own natural frequency, it is connected between the base of transistor Q1 and the power supply VDD via a second capacitor C2. When the atomizing element DT1 is excited by the oscillation circuit, it oscillates. This oscillation signal is then fed back to the base of transistor Q1 through the second capacitor C2, causing the oscillation circuit to resonate at the natural frequency of the atomizing element DT1. The peak-to-peak oscillation amplitude is approximately 50V-80V; the higher the voltage, the greater the atomization (within the voltage rating of the atomizing element DT1 itself). The controller adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal to change the base current of transistor Q1, thereby changing the voltage across the atomizing element DT1, and consequently, altering its power and atomization volume.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the transistor Q1 can be a BU406, which is an NPN type silicon high-power transistor.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second inductor L2 is a common-mode inductor. The common-mode inductor can filter common-mode electromagnetic interference signals and play the role of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filtering, which can suppress the outward radiation of electromagnetic waves generated in the circuit.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the oscillation drive circuit and the controller further include a second resistor R2, a fourth capacitor C4, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth capacitor C5, and a fifth resistor R5; the first end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the second end of the third inductor L3, the second end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the first end of the fourth capacitor C4, and the second end of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded; the first end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the second end of the third inductor L3, the second end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R4, and the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded; the first end of the fifth capacitor C5 is electrically connected to the connection point between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, and the second end of the fifth capacitor C5 is grounded; the first end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the first end of the fifth capacitor C5, and the second end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the controller through connector CN1.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the atomizer circuit further includes a diode D1, the anode of which is electrically connected to the emitter of the transistor Q1, and the cathode of which is electrically connected to the power supply VDD.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, a filtering unit is further provided between the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 and the power supply VDD. The filtering unit is used to filter the power supply VDD and remove interference signals. Figure 1 As shown, the filter unit includes a filter capacitor C6, which is connected in parallel across the positive and negative terminals of the power supply.

[0051] On the other hand, the present invention also proposes an atomizer that includes the atomizer circuit described in the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0052] According to the atomizer of the present invention, by employing the above-described atomizer circuit, by setting a shield 200 and a heat sink 300, and placing the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 within the projection range of the shield 200 and the heat sink 300, and by connecting one end of the shield 200, the heat sink 300 and one end of the atomizing plate oscillation circuit 100 to the power supply VDD to form an equipotential, and forming an electric field effect with GND, the interference radiation signal can be well absorbed by the shielding capacitor CP, thereby enabling the atomizer to pass EMC testing.
