Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an electronic cigarette. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, an electronic cigarette generally includes a shell and an atomization assembly. An air inlet, an air outlet, an oil storage tank, and an atomization cavity connected to the air inlet and the air outlet are provided in the shell. An aerosol matrix is ​​arranged in the oil storage tank, and the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank is atomized by the atomization assembly and the aerosol is released into the atomization cavity, so that the aerosol is mixed with the air entering from the air inlet and then output from the air outlet.

[0003] However, in the prior art, the aerosol released by the atomization assembly into the atomization chamber is usually difficult to be evenly mixed with the air entering from the air inlet, so that the mixing uniformity of the gas output from the air outlet is relatively low, affecting the user's experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an electronic cigarette that improves the uniformity of gas mixing and enhances the user experience. Specifically, the technical solutions include the following:

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic cigarette, comprising a shell, an atomization assembly and a blocking plate, wherein an oil storage tank, an atomization chamber, a first opening and a second opening are arranged in the shell, the oil storage tank is used to store an aerosol matrix, the atomization chamber is connected to the first opening and the second opening respectively, the atomization assembly is used to atomize the aerosol matrix to release the aerosol toward the atomization chamber, the blocking plate is arranged between the atomization chamber and the first opening, and a through hole is arranged on the blocking plate.

[0006] The electronic cigarette of the present application connects the atomization chamber between the first opening and the second opening, and enables the atomization component to atomize the aerosol matrix stored in the oil storage tank into an aerosol and send it into the atomization chamber, so that the air flowing in from the second opening can be mixed with the aerosol and output from the first opening.

[0007] The electronic cigarette of the present application also provides a blocking plate with a through hole between the atomization chamber and the first opening to slow down the flow rate of the gas in the atomization chamber, increase the mixing time of the aerosol and the air flowing into the second opening, so that the air flowing into the second opening and the aerosol are fully mixed, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the gas output by the electronic cigarette of the present application, thereby improving the user experience of using the electronic cigarette of the present application.

[0008] In one embodiment, there are multiple through holes, and the multiple through holes are arranged on the blocking plate at intervals.

[0009] In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes arranged at intervals are provided to improve the uniformity of the fully mixed air and aerosol, thereby improving the uniformity of the gas output from the first opening and enhancing the user experience.

[0010] In one embodiment, the through hole includes a first through hole and a second through hole, the area of ​​the first through hole is smaller than the area of ​​the second through hole, and the first through hole is closer to the atomization assembly than the second through hole.

[0011] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first through hole in the baffle plate close to the atomizer assembly is smaller, and the area of ​​the second through hole away from the atomizer assembly is larger. The aerosol can be restricted from passing through the baffle plate at a position close to the atomizer assembly to extend the distribution of the aerosol in the plane direction of the baffle plate, so that the aerosol can flow more evenly through the baffle plate to the first opening.

[0012] In one embodiment, the number of the first through holes and the number of the second through holes are plural respectively, and the sum of the areas of the first through holes is smaller than the sum of the areas of the second through holes.

[0013] In this embodiment, the plurality of first through holes and the plurality of second through holes can increase the flow rate of the aerosol. At the same time, limiting the sum of the areas of the first through holes to be smaller than the sum of the areas of the second through holes can ensure that the aerosol flows evenly through the blocking plate to the first opening.

[0014] In one embodiment, the atomization assembly includes an atomization surface facing the atomization chamber, the atomization assembly is located on one side of the blocking plate along a first direction and the atomization surface is perpendicular to the blocking plate, and the first through hole is located between the atomization surface and the second through hole along the first direction; wherein the first direction is parallel to the plane of the blocking plate.

[0015] In this embodiment, along the plane direction of the blocking plate, when the atomizing assembly is arranged on one side of the blocking plate, the atomizing surface of the atomizing assembly is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the blocking plate. By setting the area of ​​the through hole of the blocking plate close to the atomizing surface smaller than the area of ​​the through hole far from the atomizing surface, the aerosol released by the atomizing assembly can be blocked by the blocking plate to a greater extent, so that the aerosol can be fully mixed with the air.

[0016] In one embodiment, the atomization component is located on one side of the baffle plate along a second direction perpendicular to the baffle plate and the atomization surface is parallel to the baffle plate, the projection of the atomization surface on the baffle plate at least partially overlaps with the baffle plate, the first through hole is located within the projection area of ​​the atomization surface, and the second through hole is located outside the projection area of ​​the atomization surface.

[0017] In this embodiment, the atomizing surface is parallel to the baffle plate. The projection of the atomizing surface in the plane direction of the baffle plate is at least partially overlapped with the baffle plate, and the through-hole area in the projection area of ​​the atomizing surface is made smaller than the through-hole area in the remaining area, so that the aerosol released by the atomizing component can be blocked by the baffle plate to a large extent, thereby achieving sufficient mixing of the aerosol and the air.

[0018] On the other hand, by setting the number of through holes in the projection area of ​​the atomizing surface smaller than the number of through holes in other areas, the aerosol released by the atomizing assembly can be blocked by the blocking plate to a greater extent, thereby achieving full mixing of the aerosol and the air.

[0019] In one embodiment, the electronic cigarette further includes a diverter plate, which is disposed between the atomization assembly and the second opening, and has diverter holes disposed on the diverter plate.

[0020] In this embodiment, a diverter plate with diverter holes is provided between the atomization assembly and the second opening to prevent the aerosol matrix condensed after atomization from flowing out through the second opening, thereby improving the user experience.

[0021] In one embodiment, a plurality of diverter holes are provided, and the plurality of diverter holes are arranged at intervals on the diverter plate.

[0022] In this embodiment, a plurality of flow diversion holes arranged at intervals are provided to improve the uniformity of the air flowing in from the second opening, which is beneficial to achieving full mixing of the air and the aerosol and enhancing the mixing effect of the air and the aerosol.

[0023] In one embodiment, the main body materials of the blocking plate and the diverter plate are both metal materials, and the blocking plate and the diverter plate are thermally connected.

[0024] In this embodiment, the blocking plate and the diverter plate are both made of metal materials and are thermally connected to each other so that the heat of the gas outputted from the blocking plate through the through hole is reduced, thereby cooling the gas in the atomization chamber.

[0025] In one embodiment, the blocking plate is perpendicular to and fixedly connected to the diverter plate.

[0026] In one embodiment, the blocking plate and the diverter plate are integrally formed.

[0027] In one embodiment, the atomization assembly includes an oil guide portion and a heating portion, wherein the oil guide portion is connected between the oil storage tank and the atomization chamber; the heating portion is fixed to the oil guide portion and is used to heat the aerosol matrix to release the aerosol.

[0028] In this embodiment, an oil guide portion connected between the oil storage bin and the atomization chamber is provided so that the aerosol matrix in the oil storage bin can be delivered into the atomization chamber under the action of the oil guide portion. A heating portion fixedly connected to the oil guide portion is provided so that the aerosol matrix delivered into the atomization chamber by the oil guide portion can be heated and atomized to release the aerosol, thereby realizing the atomization function of the atomization component on the aerosol matrix.

[0029] In one embodiment, the main material of the oil guide part is ceramic, and the oil guide part includes a plurality of oil holes connected between the oil storage bin and the atomization chamber; the heating part is located on a side of the oil guide part close to the atomization chamber.

[0030] In this embodiment, the main material of the oil guide part is set to ceramic to prevent the aerosol matrix from corroding the oil guide part, thereby ensuring the oil guide function of the oil guide part. A plurality of oil holes are set in the oil guide part so that the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank can enter the atomization chamber through the oil holes, thereby realizing the oil guide function of the oil guide part. The heating part is also set on the side of the oil guide part close to the atomization chamber so that the aerosol matrix atomized by the heating part can be directly sent into the atomization chamber, thereby ensuring that the aerosol can be mixed with the air flowing into the second opening.

[0031] In one embodiment, the shell is further provided with a third opening, and a ventilation channel connected between the third opening and the oil storage tank, and a ventilation valve is provided in the ventilation channel, and the ventilation valve is used to balance the pressure in the oil storage tank.

[0032] In this embodiment, a ventilation channel connected to the third opening and the oil storage tank is provided, and a ventilation valve is provided in the ventilation channel, so that when there is a pressure difference between the oil storage tank and the external environment, the ventilation valve is opened to introduce air into the oil storage tank, and the ventilation valve is closed when the pressure difference between the oil storage tank and the external environment disappears, thereby achieving pressure balance in the oil storage tank.

[0033] In one embodiment, an oil absorption plate is further provided in the ventilation channel, and along the thickness direction of the oil absorption plate, the projection of the air permeable valve on the oil absorption plate at least partially overlaps with the oil absorption plate, and the oil absorption plate is used to absorb the aerosol matrix flowing out of the air permeable valve.

[0034] In this embodiment, an oil absorption plate is provided in the ventilation channel to absorb the aerosol matrix flowing out of the oil storage bin, thereby preventing the aerosol matrix from flowing out from the third opening to affect the user experience.

[0035] In one embodiment, a path from the atomization chamber to the second opening forms a first angle with a path from the atomization chamber to the blocking plate; and / or a path from the atomization chamber to the blocking plate forms a second angle with a path from the blocking plate to the first opening.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first angle is set to slow down the speed at which the air flowing into the atomizing chamber flows from the second opening, so as to achieve sufficient mixing of the air and the aerosol. On the other hand, the second angle is set to slow down the flow rate of the mixed air and aerosol, thereby slowing down the flow rate of the gas output from the first opening to the outside, so as to avoid affecting the user experience due to excessive gas flow rate.

[0051] See also Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the electronic cigarette 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application includes a housing 10. The housing 10 is provided with a first opening 111, a second opening 112 and an atomizing chamber 121, and the atomizing chamber 121 is connected between the first opening 111 and the second opening 112. The user inhales through the first opening 111, and the external air enters the atomizing chamber 121 through the second opening 112, and is inhaled by the user from the first opening 111 through the atomizing chamber 121.

[0053] The electronic cigarette 100 of the present application also includes an atomization component 30, and an oil storage tank 20 is also provided in the shell 10. Among them, an aerosol matrix (not shown in the figure) is stored in the oil storage tank 20, and the atomization component 30 is connected to the oil storage tank 20 and the atomization chamber 121 to atomize the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 and release the aerosol into the atomization chamber 121. The concentration of the aerosol formed after the atomization of the aerosol matrix is ​​relatively high. It can be understood that the atomization component 30 delivers the aerosol into the atomization chamber 121 so that the aerosol can be mixed with the air in the atomization chamber 121, thereby reducing the concentration of the aerosol matrix after atomization, and improving the user experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0054] That is, when the user inhales through the first opening 111, the external air enters the atomization chamber 121 through the second opening 112. At the same time, the atomization assembly 30 absorbs the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 and releases the aerosol to the atomization chamber 121 after atomization. It can be understood that the gas formed by the mixture of the aerosol and the air is output toward the first opening 111 and inhaled by the user through the first opening 111. In this way, the smoking function of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application is realized.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application further includes a blocking plate 40 , which is disposed between the atomizing chamber 121 and the first opening 111 , and a through hole 41 is disposed on the blocking plate 40 , so that the gas in the atomizing chamber 121 can be transmitted to the first opening 111 through the through hole 41 .

[0056] It can be understood that the setting of the blocking plate 40 slows down the flow rate of the gas in the atomizing chamber 121, and increases the mixing time of the aerosol and the air in the atomizing chamber 121, so as to achieve full mixing of the air and the aerosol. Thus, the mixing uniformity of the gas output through the first opening 111 is improved, and the user experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application is improved.

[0057] Therefore, the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application provides a blocking plate 40 with a through hole 41 between the atomizing chamber 121 and the first opening 111, so as to ensure the delivery of the gas in the atomizing chamber 121 while slowing down the gas flow rate in the atomizing chamber 121, thereby achieving full mixing of air and aerosol. This improves the mixing uniformity of the gas output by the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application, and improves the user experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0058] For ease of description, the path connecting the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application is bent. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the path connecting the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 can also be set to other bending conditions, or set to a straight line, and the applicant does not make any special restrictions on this.

[0059] See also Figure 2 The planar structure diagram of the blocking plate 40 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 .

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple through holes 41 on the blocking plate 40, and the multiple through holes 41 are arranged at intervals on the blocking plate 40, so that the gas after the aerosol and the air are fully mixed can be output to the first opening 111 through the multiple through holes 41, thereby improving the uniformity of the gas output to the first opening 111, and improving the user experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0061] It can be understood that in this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the through hole 41 is a circular hole. In other embodiments, the through hole 41 may also be a square hole, an elliptical hole, etc., and the applicant does not make any special limitation on this.

[0062] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the path from the first opening 111 to the second opening 112 of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application is bent to increase the path length of the gas from the first opening 111 to the second opening 112. During the transmission of the aerosol and the air, the mixing process of the aerosol and the air also proceeds with the transmission process. It can be understood that the increase in the path length between the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 can further mix the aerosol and the air during the transmission process, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the gas of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0063] At the same time, since the aerosol has a high temperature, the temperature may affect the user's experience. It is understandable that the bending of the path between the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 can also continuously release heat to the outside during the transmission of the aerosol and the air, so as to reduce the temperature of the gas output from the first opening 111, thereby improving the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0064] See also Figure 3 Another planar structural diagram of the blocking plate 40 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 .

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the through hole 41 includes a first through hole 411 and a second through hole 412. Among them, the first through hole 411 is closer to the atomizer assembly 30 than the second through hole 412, and the area of ​​the first through hole 411 is smaller than the area of ​​the second through hole 412. Based on the atomizer assembly 30, the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 can be atomized and released as an aerosol. It can be understood that the aerosol concentration in the area where the first through hole 411 close to the atomizer assembly 30 is located is greater than the aerosol concentration in the area where the second through hole 412 is located.

[0066] Thus, by setting the area of ​​the first through hole 411 to be smaller than the area of ​​the second through hole 412, the aerosol can be restricted from passing through the blocking plate 40 at a position close to the atomizer assembly 30, so that the aerosol can extend along the plane direction of the blocking plate 40, thereby increasing the distribution of the aerosol in the plane direction of the blocking plate 40. The mixing area of ​​the aerosol and the air is further increased, so that the aerosol can be fully mixed with the air before flowing out from the first opening 111.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple first through holes 411 and multiple second through holes 412. It can be understood that multiple first through holes 411 and multiple second through holes 412 can increase the flow rate of the aerosol, and avoid affecting the aerosol content of the gas flowing out of the first opening 111 due to too low aerosol flow rate, thereby affecting the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0068] At the same time, the sum of the areas of the first through holes 411 is smaller than the sum of the areas of the second through holes 412. Based on the fact that the through holes 41 with smaller areas have a stronger blocking effect on gas. It can be understood that the first through holes 411 with a smaller sum of areas can limit the aerosol from passing through the blocking plate 40 at a position close to the atomization assembly 30, so that the aerosol can extend along the plane direction of the blocking plate 40, thereby increasing the distribution of the aerosol in the plane direction of the blocking plate 40. The mixing area of ​​the aerosol and the air is further increased, so that the aerosol can be fully mixed with the air before flowing out from the first opening 111.

[0069] Specifically, in one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the atomizing assembly 30 includes an atomizing surface 30a facing the atomizing chamber 121, and along the plane direction of the blocking plate 40, the atomizing surface 30a is located on one side of the blocking plate 40 and is perpendicular to the blocking plate 40. That is, along the first direction 001, the atomizing surface 30a is located on one side of the blocking plate 40 and is perpendicular to the blocking plate 40. Among them, the first direction 001 is parallel to the plane direction of the blocking plate 40.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the first direction 001, the first through hole 411 is located between the atomizing surface 30a and the second through hole 412. Since the aerosol released by the atomizing assembly 30 to the atomizing chamber 121 has a higher temperature, compared with the air with a lower temperature, the aerosol will be located above the air along the first direction 001. That is, the concentration of the aerosol in the area where the first through hole 411 is located is greater than the concentration of the aerosol in the area where the second through hole 412 is located.

[0071] It can be understood that setting the through hole 41 close to the atomization surface 30a as the first through hole 411 can slow down the flow rate of the aerosol output toward the first opening 111 through the first through hole 411, so that the aerosol can be blocked by the blocking plate 40 to a greater extent and extend along the plane direction of the blocking plate 40 in the direction away from the atomization surface 30a, so as to achieve sufficient mixing of the aerosol and the air.

[0072] In one embodiment, the surface of the blocking plate 40 close to the atomizing assembly 30 is provided with a first area 421 and a second area 422, and the second area 422 is located outside the first area 421. In the second direction 002 perpendicular to the first direction 001, when the atomizing surface 30a is parallel to the blocking plate 40, the projection area of ​​the atomizing surface 30a on the blocking plate 40 coincides with the first area 421 of the blocking plate 40.

[0073] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the first through hole 411 on the blocking plate 40 is located in the first area 421, and the second through hole 412 is located in the second area 422. When the atomizing assembly 30 releases aerosol to the atomizing chamber 121, the concentration of the aerosol in the first area 421 is greater than that in the second area 422.

[0074] Understandable, such as Figure 3 As shown, by setting the first through hole 411 in the first area 421 and setting the second through hole 412 in the second area 422, the flow rate of the aerosol output toward the first opening 111 through the through hole 41 in the first area 421 can be slowed down, so that the aerosol can be blocked by the blocking plate 40 to achieve sufficient mixing of the aerosol and the air.

[0075] See also Figure 4 The planar structure diagram of the diverter plate 50 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 .

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application further includes a diverter plate 50, which is disposed between the atomization chamber 121 and the second opening 112. The diverter plate 50 is provided with a diverter hole 51, so that the gas flowing in from the second opening 112 can be output toward the atomization chamber 121 through the diverter hole 51, thereby ensuring the gas transportation function of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0077] Since the temperature of the air flowing in from the second opening 112 is lower than that of the aerosol, when the air contacts the aerosol, part of the aerosol may condense to form an aerosol matrix and flow out toward the second opening 112, thereby affecting the user's experience. Therefore, the arrangement of the diverter plate 50 can block the aerosol matrix condensed after atomization, thereby preventing the aerosol matrix from flowing out from the second opening 112. Thus, the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application is improved.

[0078] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of diverter holes 51 are provided, and the plurality of diverter holes 51 are arranged at intervals on the diverter plate 50 .

[0079] Based on the fact that the diverter plate 50 is disposed between the atomizing chamber 121 and the second opening 112, it can be understood that when the air from the external environment enters the atomizing chamber 121 through the second opening 112, the multiple diverter holes 51 can make the air passing through the diverter holes 51 relatively stable. This reduces the airflow noise generated when the user inhales, and improves the user experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0080] At the same time, the multiple flow diversion holes 51 arranged at intervals can improve the uniformity of the air entering the atomization chamber 121, which is conducive to achieving full mixing of air and aerosol, and enhancing the mixing effect of air and aerosol.

[0081] See also Figure 5 The partial structural diagram of the electronic cigarette 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 .

[0082] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 further includes an air outlet cavity 122 and an air inlet cavity 123 connected to the atomizing cavity 121. The air from the external environment enters the air inlet cavity 123 through the second opening 112, passes through the diverter plate 50 and enters the atomizing cavity 121, and is mixed with the aerosol in the atomizing cavity 121. The mixed aerosol and air pass through the blocking plate 40 and enter the air outlet cavity 122, and are output from the first opening 111.

[0083] Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the extending direction of the air inlet cavity 123 is the first direction 001, and the extending direction of the atomizing cavity 121 is the second direction 002. That is, the path from the atomizing cavity 121 to the second opening 112 and the path from the atomizing cavity 121 to the blocking plate 40 form a first angle A1, and the first angle A1 is 90°.

[0084] When the external air enters the atomizing chamber 121 from the second opening 112 via the diverter plate 50, the air needs to be converted from the first direction 001 to the second direction 002 while mixing with the aerosol. It can be understood that the conversion of the gas flow direction slows down the flow rate of the air, which is conducive to increasing the mixing time of the aerosol and the air, and further improving the mixing uniformity of the aerosol and the air.

[0085] It can be understood that in another embodiment, the first angle A1 between the path from the atomizing chamber 121 to the second opening 112 and the path from the atomizing chamber 121 to the blocking plate 40 can also be other angles.

[0086] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a second angle A2 is formed between the path from the atomizing chamber 121 to the blocking plate 40 and the path from the blocking plate 40 to the first opening 111. It can be understood that when the mixed air and aerosol flow into the air outlet cavity 122 along the second direction 002, the flow direction of the gas needs to be changed, so that the flow rate of the mixed gas of air and aerosol is slowed down, further improving the mixing uniformity of the aerosol and air.

[0087] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet cavity 122 includes a first cavity 1221 and a second cavity 1222 connected to each other, wherein the first cavity 1221 is connected to the first opening 111, and the second cavity 1222 is connected to the blocking plate 40. The path from the blocking plate 40 to the first opening 111 is bent.

[0088] Since the first cavity 1221 is close to the first opening 111, it is understandable that bending the path between the first cavity 1221 and the second cavity 1222 can slow down the flow rate of gas entering the first cavity 1221, thereby making the flow rate of gas entering the user's body through the first opening 111 uniform, thereby improving the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0089] See also Figure 6 Another cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of an electronic cigarette 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0090] like Figure 6As shown, the blocking plate 40 and the diverter plate 50 are connected by heat conduction, and the main materials are metal materials. Based on the thermal conductivity of the metal material and the high temperature of the aerosol, it can be understood that when the aerosol is mixed with the air and enters the air outlet cavity 122 through the through hole 41, the aerosol will release heat to the blocking plate 40, thereby increasing the temperature of the blocking plate 40.

[0091] When the air with a lower temperature enters the atomization chamber 121 through the diverter hole 51 of the diverter plate 50, since the diverter plate 50 has a lower temperature than the blocking plate 40, the temperature of the blocking plate 40 will be transferred to the diverter plate 50 and carried away by the air under the action of the diverter plate 50, thereby achieving the cooling of the gas entering the air outlet chamber 122.

[0092] At the same time, when the external air enters the atomizing chamber 121 through the diverter hole 51, the heat on the diverter plate 50 will be taken away by the air entering the atomizing chamber 121, thereby heating the air. It can be understood that the heating of the air by the diverter plate 50 reduces the temperature difference between the air and the aerosol, reducing the possibility of condensation and liquefaction of the aerosol due to the air.

[0093] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the baffle plate 40 and the diverter plate 50 are integrally formed. Based on the first angle A1 being 90°, the baffle plate 40 and the diverter plate 50 are perpendicular to each other, so as to realize synchronous manufacturing of the baffle plate 40 and the diverter plate 50.

[0094] See also Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the partial decomposition structure of the electronic cigarette 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Fig. 9 The schematic diagram of the structure of the atomization assembly 30 provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 6 In order to facilitate the description of the internal structure of the electronic cigarette 100, Figure 8 Omitted Figure 6 The cavity 14 in the.

[0095] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the atomization assembly 30 includes an oil guide portion 31 and a heating portion 32 . The oil guide portion 31 is connected between the oil storage tank 20 and the atomization chamber 121 , and the heating portion 32 is fixed to one side of the oil guide portion 31 close to the atomization chamber 121 .

[0096] Among them, Fig.10As shown, the oil guide portion 31 is provided with a plurality of oil holes 311 arranged along the first direction 001, and the oil guide portion 31 fills the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 into the oil holes 311. When the user inhales from the first opening 111, the heating portion 32 transfers heat to the oil guide portion 31 to heat the atomized aerosol matrix and release the aerosol, thereby realizing the atomization function of the atomization component 30 on the aerosol matrix.

[0097] It can be understood that after the aerosol matrix on the surface of the oil guiding portion 31 close to the heating portion 32 is atomized, the oil guiding portion 31 refills the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 into the oil holes 311 through the multiple oil holes 311 to ensure that the heating portion 32 atomizes the aerosol matrix.

[0098] In one embodiment, the main material of the oil guide portion 31 is ceramic. Based on the corrosive properties of the aerosol matrix, it is understandable that setting the main material of the oil guide portion 31 as ceramic can ensure the oil guide function of the oil guide portion 31 while avoiding the situation where the aerosol matrix corrodes the oil guide portion 31, thereby causing the aerosol matrix to flow directly from the oil storage tank 20 into the atomization chamber 121. This improves the user experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0099] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the atomization assembly 30 further includes a conductive part 33. The conductive part 33 is electrically connected to the heating part 32, so as to provide electrical energy to the heating part 32 when the user inhales from the first opening 111, so as to realize the heating and atomization function of the heating part 32 on the aerosol matrix.

[0100] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the atomizing assembly 30 further includes a sealing member 34 . The sealing member 34 is sleeved on the periphery of the oil guide portion 31 to cooperate with the housing 10 to prevent the aerosol matrix in the oil storage bin 20 from flowing out from the gap between the oil guide portion 31 and the housing 10 .

[0101] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the housing 10 is further provided with a third opening 113 and a ventilation channel 13. The ventilation channel 13 is connected between the third opening 113 and the oil storage tank 20, and a ventilation valve 131 is provided in the ventilation channel 13.

[0102] When the user inhales from the first opening 111, and the atomizer assembly 30 atomizes the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20, the atomizer assembly 30 will absorb part of the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 to the side of the atomizer assembly 30 close to the atomization chamber 121. As the oil storage tank 20 is relatively sealed, it can be understood that the aerosol matrix in the oil storage tank 20 is reduced, so that there is an air pressure difference between the oil storage tank 20 and the external environment.

[0103] When there is a pressure difference between the oil storage bin 20 and the external environment, external air will enter the ventilation channel 13 through the third opening 113. Under the effect of the pressure difference between the oil storage bin 20 and the external environment, the ventilation valve 131 will open so that the oil storage bin 20 is connected to the ventilation channel 13. Thus, external air can enter the oil storage bin 20 to balance the pressure in the oil storage bin 20. This ensures that the atomization assembly 30 can absorb the aerosol matrix in the oil storage bin 20 and output it toward the atomization chamber 121.

[0104] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the air-permeable valve 131 can be configured as an elastic sealing sheet and is disposed between the oil storage tank 20 and the housing 10 .

[0105] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, an oil absorption plate 132 is further provided in the ventilation channel 13, wherein in the first direction 001, the projection of the ventilation valve 131 on the oil absorption plate 132 overlaps or partially overlaps with the oil absorption plate 132. When the ventilation valve 131 is opened, external air can enter the oil storage bin 20 through the ventilation channel 13, and the aerosol matrix in the oil storage bin 20 may also flow out from the third opening 113 through the ventilation channel 13.

[0106] It can be understood that the setting of the oil absorption plate 132 allows the aerosol matrix flowing into the ventilation channel 13 when the air valve 131 is opened to be received and absorbed by the oil absorption plate 132, thereby preventing the aerosol matrix from flowing out from the third opening 113, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0107] At the same time, during the use of the breathable valve 131, when the blocking effect of the breathable valve 131 on the ventilation channel 13 and the oil storage tank 20 fails, the aerosol medium in the oil storage tank 20 may also flow into the ventilation channel 13 from between the breathable valve 131 and the shell 10, and flow out from the third opening 113.

[0108] It can be understood that the setting of the oil absorption plate 132 allows the aerosol matrix flowing into the ventilation channel 13 when the air valve 131 is damaged to be received and absorbed by the oil absorption plate 132, thereby preventing the aerosol matrix from flowing out from the third opening 113, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.

[0109] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the housing 10 further includes a cavity 14, a mounting portion 15 and an end cap 16. The mounting portion 15 is embedded in the cavity 14 along a first direction 001, and cooperates with the cavity 14 to form an oil storage bin 20. The atomization assembly 30 is embedded in the mounting portion 15, and one end contacts the aerosol matrix in the oil storage bin, and the other end extends into the atomization cavity 121. Along the first direction 001, the end cap 16 is fixed to one end of the cavity 14 away from the mounting portion 15.

[0110] Along the first direction 001, the first opening 111 is provided on the cavity 14, and the first cavity 1221 is provided in the cavity 14. The second cavity 1222 is provided in the mounting portion 15. It can be understood that the cavity 14 and the mounting portion 15 are connected so that the first cavity 1221 and the second cavity 1222 are connected.

[0111] The end cap 16 is connected with the mounting portion 15 to form an atomization chamber 121 between the end cap 16 and the mounting portion 15. Along the first direction 001, the second opening 112 is provided on the surface of the end cap 16 away from the cavity 14, and the air inlet chamber 123 is located in the end cap 16. It can be understood that when the user inhales from the first opening 111, the external air can enter the air inlet chamber 123 in the end cap 16 from the second opening 112, and mix with the aerosol through the mixing atomization chamber 121 between the end cap 16 and the mounting portion 15, and then inhale from the first opening 111 by the user through the second cavity 1222 of the mounting portion 15 and the first cavity 1221 of the cavity 14 in turn. In this way, the smoking process of the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application is realized.

[0112] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the housing 10 further includes a sealing component 17, which is filled between the cavity 14 and the mounting portion 15 to prevent the aerosol matrix from flowing into the air outlet cavity 122 through the gap between the mounting portion 15 and the cavity 14, thereby affecting the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 100 of the present application.
