[0002] The electronic atomization device generates aerosol by atomizing the atomized liquid in the oil cup for users to inhale. Since the atomized liquid does not contain harmful substances such as tar, it can reduce harm to the human body and has certain health advantages. The electronic atomization device also has the advantages of simple structure, diverse appearance and easy to carry. The content of flavor components such as nicotine in the atomized liquid in the oil cup is fixed after the electronic atomization device is assembled, and the content of flavor components is basically in an equal state.

[0034] Example:

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic atomization system, including an atomization liquid having a microcapsule 20 and an electronic atomization device. The microcapsule 20 includes a capsule membrane and a flavor component wrapped in the capsule membrane, wherein the capsule membrane encloses an inner cavity, and the flavor component is located in the inner cavity, so that the microcapsule 20 releases the flavor component after being ruptured, and the flavor component is mixed in the aerosol generated by the electronic atomization device and inhaled, thereby changing the user's smoking taste. The flavor component may include nicotine, and may also include other flavor materials, such as plant extracts and fruit extracts, etc. The atomization liquid may also include at least part of the same flavor component as that in the microcapsule 20. The capsule membrane has a responsive material that responds to the action of the energy field, so that the microcapsule 20 can move in a directional manner under the action of the energy field.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electronic atomization device includes an atomizer and a power supply device 10 connected to the atomizer, and the power supply device 10 is used to supply power to the atomizer. The atomizer includes a liquid supply device and an atomization component 2. The liquid supply device stores an atomization liquid having microcapsules 20. The liquid supply device is used to supply the atomization liquid to the atomization component 2. The atomization component 2 is used to heat the atomization liquid and make the microcapsules 20 release flavor components when heated.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 4 The liquid supply device includes a liquid storage component and an energy generator 3. The liquid storage component is provided with a liquid storage chamber 13 for storing atomized liquid having microcapsules 20 and a lower liquid hole 6 connecting the liquid storage chamber 13 and the atomizing component 2. The microcapsules 20 have flavor components and capsule membranes encapsulating the flavor components, and the capsule membranes include response materials. The energy generator 3 is arranged on the liquid storage component and is configured to generate an energy field acting on the response material to drive the microcapsules 20 to move toward or away from the lower liquid hole 6 to adjust the concentration of the microcapsules 20 at the lower liquid hole 6. The atomizing component 2 is connected to the liquid storage component and is arranged in liquid communication with the liquid storage chamber 13 through the lower liquid hole 6. The power supply device 10 is electrically connected to the atomizing component 2 and the energy generator 3 respectively.

[0038] Since the microcapsules 20 in the liquid storage chamber 13 will move toward or away from the lower liquid hole 6 under the action of the energy field, the concentration of the microcapsules 20 at the lower liquid hole 6 can be changed, and the microcapsules 20 will release flavor components when heated, thereby changing the content of the flavor components in the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 13, so that the process of changing the content of the flavor components in the atomized liquid does not require the mutual cooperation between mechanical structures, thereby making the structure of the liquid supply device simpler; moreover, the energy field is generated by the energy generator 3, which can realize automatic control of the movement of the microcapsules 20, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the content of the flavor components in the atomized liquid.

[0039] It should be noted that the microcapsule 20 is insoluble in the atomized liquid and the atomized liquid is not allowed to penetrate into the microcapsule 20; when the taste is too light or too strong during the inhalation process, the energy generator 3 can be started to adjust the content of the flavor components in the atomized liquid, thereby adjusting the inhalation taste. For example, when the taste is lighter, the microcapsule 20 moves toward the direction close to the lower liquid hole 6 under the action of the energy field, and the concentration of the microcapsule 20 at the lower liquid hole 6 increases. Since the microcapsule 20 releases the flavor components after being heated, the content of the flavor components in the atomized liquid increases, thereby increasing the content of the flavor components during inhalation; when the taste is stronger, the microcapsule 20 moves toward the direction away from the lower liquid hole 6 under the action of the energy field, and the concentration of the microcapsule 20 at the lower liquid hole 6 decreases, thereby reducing the content of the flavor components in the atomized liquid, thereby reducing the content of the flavor components during inhalation.

[0040] In some embodiments, the energy generator 3 can generate one or more different energy fields, and different energy fields are used to drive the microcapsules 20 with capsule membranes of different response materials to move toward or away from the lower liquid hole 6. Different microcapsules 20 are driven to move by different energy fields, and different microcapsules 20 move toward the lower liquid hole 6, thereby realizing diversified taste adjustment; wherein different microcapsules 20 have different flavor components, and different energy fields are independent of each other, and different energy fields can simultaneously drive two or more different microcapsules 20 to move, thereby realizing automatic taste adjustment, for example:

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the energy generator 3 includes a magnetic field generator 34, an electrode group 35, a lighting device 36, and a sound field generator 37. The magnetic field generator 34, the electrode group 35, the lighting device 36, and the sound field generator 37 generate a magnetic field, an electric field, a light field, and a sound field, respectively. Different energy fields drive the microcapsules 20 with capsule membranes of corresponding response materials to move toward or away from the lower liquid hole 6. The microcapsules 20 with capsule membranes of different response materials have different flavor components, so that the content of four types of flavor components in the atomized liquid can be adjusted at the same time, thereby realizing diversified taste adjustment.

[0042] It should be noted that when the energy generator 3 is capable of generating a plurality of different energy fields, the sub-generators corresponding to the different energy fields are spaced apart on the liquid storage assembly, which is conducive to ensuring that the energy fields do not interfere with each other. Similarly, different energy generators 3 can also work alternately, so that different energy fields are generated in the liquid storage chamber 13 in different time periods, avoiding the interaction or interference between different energy fields.

[0043] In some embodiments, the energy field includes at least one of a magnetic field, an electric field, an acoustic field, and a light field. Specifically, when the energy field generated by the energy generator 3 is a single energy field, the energy field may be one of a magnetic field, an electric field, an acoustic field, and a light field, and one or more of the magnetic field, the electric field, the acoustic field, and the light field may be provided. When the energy field generated by the energy generator 3 is a composite field, the multiple energy fields may be a combination of a magnetic field and an electric field; or, the energy field may be a combination of a magnetic field and an acoustic field; or, the energy field may be a combination of an electric field, an acoustic field, and a light field, etc.

[0044] The response material of each microcapsule 20 includes one of a magnetic response material, a photosensitive response material, an acoustic response material, and an electrosensitive response material; wherein the microcapsule 20 having a capsule membrane of a magnetic response material moves under the drive of a magnetic field, the microcapsule 20 having a capsule membrane of a photosensitive response material moves under the drive of a light field, the microcapsule 20 having a capsule membrane of an acoustic response material moves under the drive of a sound field, and the microcapsule 20 having a capsule membrane of an electrosensitive response material moves under the drive of an electric field.

[0045] Among them, the magnetic response material can be a magnetic particle embedded in the capsule membrane, and the magnetic response material includes at least one of iron, cobalt, nickel and iron oxides, such as iron. The electrosensitive response material includes at least one of cyanate and polypropylene, such as cyanate. The photosensitive response material includes any one of nano-scale ferroferric oxide, polyester amine, and graphene, such as nano-scale ferroferric oxide. The acoustic response material includes any one of liquid paraffin, liquid glucose, starch liquid, gelatin, polymethyl methacrylate and vinyl stearate, such as liquid glucose. The capsule membrane of the microcapsule 20 is made of an organic phase change material, such as paraffin and polyols, and the organic phase change material is used to rupture the microcapsule 20 when heated.

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The liquid storage component includes an oil cup 1, the oil cup 1 has a liquid storage cavity 13 and a lower liquid hole 6, and an air flow channel 5 is provided in the oil cup 1, the lower liquid hole 6 connects the liquid storage cavity 13 and the air flow channel 5, and the atomization component 2 is at least partially located in the air flow channel 5 and is in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity 13 through the lower liquid hole 6. The power supply device 10 includes a control component and a power supply, the control component is electrically connected to the atomization component 2 and the energy generator 3, the power supply is electrically connected to the control component, the atomization component 2 and the energy generator 3, and the control component can control the energy generator 3 to generate different energy fields. The types of energy fields are illustrated below.

[0047] In some embodiments, the energy field is a magnetic field; the energy generator 3 includes at least two sub-generators arranged at intervals in the liquid storage component, the sub-generator is a magnetic field generator 34, at least two sub-generators interact with each other to form a magnetic field, and at least one sub-generator is arranged on the side of the liquid storage component close to the lower liquid hole 6. Specifically, the energy generator 3 may include two sub-generators, the two sub-generators interact with each other to form a magnetic field, one of the two sub-generators is arranged on the side of the oil cup 1 close to the lower liquid hole 6, and the other is arranged on the side of the oil cup 1 away from the lower liquid hole 6, and can be arranged directly opposite or oblique to the lower liquid hole 6; or, the energy generator 3 may include three sub-generators, one of the three sub-generators is arranged on the side of the oil cup 1 close to the lower liquid hole 6, and the other two are arranged on the side of the oil cup 1 away from the lower liquid hole 6 and are spaced apart. In some specific embodiments, the magnetic field generator 34 can be an electromagnetic coil or an electromagnet composed of an electromagnetic coil and a ferromagnet. The electromagnetic coil can be a planar coil, such as a flexible substrate and a flexible thin film planar coil arranged on the flexible substrate. Of course, a coil coating can also be formed on the shell of the oil cup 1 by coating, deposition and other processes, or a common planar coil can be integrally formed on the wall of the liquid storage chamber 13.

[0048] See also Figure 1 In the first specific example, the atomizer further includes a vent pipe 4 connected to the bottom and top of the oil cup 1 and located in the liquid storage chamber 13, and the atomizer assembly 2 is arranged in the vent pipe 4, wherein the vent pipe 4 and the oil cup 1 define a portion of the liquid storage chamber 13 and form a portion of the wall of the liquid storage chamber 13; the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the oil cup 1 and a second sub-generator 32 arranged outside the vent pipe 4 and facing the first sub-generator 31, and the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 interact with each other to generate a magnetic field with variable magnetic field intensity and / or variable magnetic field direction. This arrangement makes the path for the microcapsule 20 to move to the lower liquid hole 6 shorter, which is conducive to improving the response speed of the microcapsule 20. The following is an example of the arrangement of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32:

[0049] The magnetic field strengths of the magnetic fields generated by the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are both variable. When the magnetic field strength generated by the second sub-generator 32 is greater than the magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31, the microcapsule 20 will move in the direction of the greater magnetic field strength, so that the microcapsule 20 can move in the direction of the second sub-generator 32, ensuring that the microcapsule 20 can move in the direction close to the lower liquid hole 6, so that the microcapsule 20 releases flavor components when heated, and increases the content of flavor components in the atomized liquid. Among them, the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 both generate magnetic fields, and the magnetic field strength generated by the second sub-generator 32 is greater than the magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31; or, the first sub-generator 31 does not generate a magnetic field, and the second sub-generator 32 generates a magnetic field, so that the magnetic field strength generated by the second sub-generator 32 is greater than the magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31. It should be noted that when the first sub-generator 31 generates a magnetic field and the second sub-generator 32 does not generate a magnetic field, the microcapsule 20 will move in the direction away from the lower liquid hole 6.

[0050] The magnetic field strength generated by the second sub-generator 32 is variable, and the magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31 is constant. When the second sub-generator 32 generates a magnetic field and the magnetic field strength is greater than the magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31, the microcapsule 20 will move toward the direction close to the lower liquid hole 6; when the second sub-generator 32 does not generate a magnetic field or the second sub-generator 32 generates a magnetic field and the magnetic field strength is less than the magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31, the microcapsule 20 will move toward the direction away from the lower liquid hole 6.

[0051] The magnetic field strength generated by the first sub-generator 31 is set equal to the magnetic field strength generated by the second sub-generator 32, and the directions of the magnetic fields generated by the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 can be changed. The magnetic poles corresponding to the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 attract each other, and the magnetic poles corresponding to the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are changeable. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0052] When the magnetic pole corresponding to the first sub-generator 31 is the S pole and the magnetic pole corresponding to the second sub-generator 32 is the N pole, the direction of the magnetic field is from the bottom of the oil cup 1 to the top of the oil cup 1, so that the microcapsule 20 will move in a direction away from the lower liquid hole 6, the atomization component 2 cannot heat the microcapsule 20 to release the flavor component, and the content of the flavor component in the atomized liquid decreases, so that the content of the flavor component in the aerosol decreases during the next puff. When the magnetic pole corresponding to the first sub-generator 31 is the N pole and the magnetic pole corresponding to the second sub-generator 32 is the S pole, the direction of the magnetic field is from the top of the oil cup 1 to the bottom of the oil cup 1, so that the microcapsule 20 will move in a direction close to the atomization component 2, the atomization component 2 heats the microcapsule 20 to release the flavor component, and the content of the flavor component in the atomized liquid increases, so that the content of the flavor component in the aerosol increases during the next puff.

[0053] It should be noted that, in this example, the vent pipe 4 and the oil cup 1 can be an integrated structure or a split structure, and the present invention does not specifically limit this. The magnetic field generator 34 can be a magnetic induction coil or an electromagnet, and the control component changes the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field strength by controlling the magnitude or direction of the current passed into the magnetic field generator 34; or, the magnitude of the magnetic field strength is changed by changing the length of the magnetic induction coil and the number of electromagnets.

[0054] See also Figure 2 In the second specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 and a second sub-generator 32 respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the oil cup 1, two first sub-generators 31 are provided, and the two first sub-generators 31 are provided on opposite sides of the ventilation pipe 4; two second sub-generators 32 are provided, and the two second sub-generators 32 are provided on opposite sides of the ventilation pipe 4; the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 interact with each other to generate a magnetic field with variable magnetic field strength and / or variable magnetic field direction. This arrangement can control the directional movement of the microcapsules 20 in the liquid storage chamber 13 by partition, which is conducive to the adjustment of different flavors. It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as that of the electronic atomization device in the first example, and the implementation method of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 to generate a magnetic field with variable magnetic field strength and / or variable magnetic field direction is the same as the first specific example, and will not be repeated here.

[0055] See also Figure 3 In the third specific example, the oil cup 1 includes a shell 11 having a accommodating cavity and a cavity wall 12 fixed in the accommodating cavity. The oil cup 1 is provided with an airflow channel 5 formed between the outer side of the cavity wall 12 and the inner peripheral wall of the shell 11 and isolated from the liquid storage cavity 13. The side wall of the airflow channel 5 is provided with a lower liquid hole 6 connected to the liquid storage cavity 13. The atomizing assembly 2 is at least partially located in the airflow channel 5 and covers the lower liquid hole 6. The energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 arranged at the top of the oil cup 1, and a second sub-generator 32 and a third sub-generator 33 arranged at the bottom of the oil cup 1 and spaced apart. The second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are distributed around the lower liquid hole 6. In this arrangement, the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are less difficult to install. The first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 form a uniform magnetic field after being powered on, and the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 form a non-uniform magnetic field after being powered on, and the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 interact with each other to generate a magnetic field with variable magnetic field strength, for example:

[0056] The control component controls the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 to be powered on, and the third sub-generator 33 is not powered on, and the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 generate a uniform magnetic field when powered on; or, the control component controls the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 to be powered on, and the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 at the lower liquid hole 6 is greater than the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the first sub-generator 31. It should be understood that the implementation method of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 generating a magnetic field with variable magnetic field strength is the same as the first specific example, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] In some embodiments, the energy field is an electric field; the energy generator 3 includes at least two sub-generators spaced apart in the liquid storage component, the sub-generator is an electrode group, at least two spaced apart and different polarity sub-generators form an electric field after being energized, and there is at least one first sub-generator 31 disposed on the side of the liquid storage component close to the lower liquid hole 6, and at least one second sub-generator 32 spaced apart from the first sub-generator 31 and different in polarity among the multiple sub-generators. Specifically, at least one of the multiple sub-generators is a positive electrode, at least one is a negative electrode, and at least one negative electrode and at least one positive electrode form an electric field when energized; one of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 is a positive electrode, and the other is a negative electrode, and the other sub-generators except the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 among the multiple sub-generators can be positive electrodes or negative electrodes.

[0058] The electric field includes a non-uniform electric field, and the capsule membrane of the microcapsule 20 ruptures to release the flavor component when the minimum, maximum or average electric field strength of the non-uniform electric field is greater than a preset threshold. Specifically, the electric field can be a uniform electric field or a non-uniform electric field. The microcapsule 20 and the solute in the atomized liquid will trigger a polarization effect under the action of the electric field, and the polarization effect of the solute is smaller than the polarization effect of the microcapsule 20, so that the microcapsule 20 will be driven by the dielectrophoretic force (the microcapsule 20 driven by the dielectrophoretic force generates an internal electric field inside); wherein, for a uniform electric field, the microcapsule 20 will move in the opposite direction of the electric field under the drive of the dielectrophoretic force; for a non-uniform electric field, the microcapsule 20 will move in the direction of a greater electric field strength under the drive of the dielectrophoretic force, thereby controlling the directional movement of the microcapsule 20.

[0059] It should be noted that the electric field strength for driving the microcapsule 20 to move in a directional manner is smaller than the electric field strength for rupturing the capsule membrane, and moving the microcapsule 20 and rupturing the microcapsule 20 can be performed separately.

[0060] See also Figure 1In the fourth specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 disposed on the inner wall of the oil cup 1 and a second sub-generator 32 disposed outside the ventilation pipe 4 and facing the first sub-generator 31. The first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are both electrode groups. The control component adjusts the voltage and current to adjust the intensity of the electric field generated when the electrode group is energized, and switches the polarity of each electrode group, for example:

[0061] The control component controls the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 to be powered on, and a uniform electric field is generated when the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are powered on. When the control component controls the polarity of the first sub-generator 31 to be positive and the polarity of the second sub-generator 32 to be negative, the microcapsule 20 will move toward the direction of the first sub-generator 31 driven by the dielectrophoretic force, that is, the microcapsule 20 moves toward the direction of the lower liquid hole 6; when the control component controls the polarity of the first sub-generator 31 to be negative and the polarity of the second sub-generator 32 to be positive, the microcapsule 20 will move toward the direction of the second sub-generator 32 driven by the dielectrophoretic force, that is, the microcapsule 20 moves away from the lower liquid hole 6.

[0062] It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as the structure of the electronic atomization device in the first specific example, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0063] See also Figure 2 In the fifth specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 and a second sub-generator 32 respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the oil cup 1. Two first sub-generators 31 are provided, and the two first sub-generators 31 are provided on opposite sides of the ventilation pipe 4; two second sub-generators 32 are provided, and the two second sub-generators 32 are provided on opposite sides of the ventilation pipe 4. The first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are both electrode groups. It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as that of the electronic atomization device in the fourth example, and the implementation method of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 forming an electric field after power-on is the same as the fourth specific example, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] See also Figure 3In the sixth specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31, a second sub-generator 32 and a third sub-generator 33, all of which are fixed to the oil cup 1. The first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 form a uniform electric field after being energized, and the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 form a non-uniform electric field after being energized. Among them, the first sub-generator 31 is fixed to the top of the oil cup 1, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are both fixed to the bottom of the oil cup 1, and the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are distributed on both sides of the lower liquid hole 6. The first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are all electrode groups, and the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 have the same polarity, and the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 have opposite polarities. This setting makes it easier to switch the electric field generated by the electric field generating device between a uniform electric field and a non-uniform electric field. For example:

[0065] The control component controls the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 to be powered on, and the third sub-generator 33 to be not powered on, and the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 generate a uniform electric field when powered on. When the polarity of the first sub-generator 31 is controlled to be negative and the polarity of the second sub-generator 32 is controlled to be positive, the microcapsule 30 will move toward the direction of the second sub-generator 32 under the drive of the dielectrophoretic force, that is, the microcapsule 30 moves toward the direction of the lower liquid hole 6, so that the concentration of the microcapsule 30 in the atomized liquid around the lower liquid hole 6 increases, and the microcapsule 30 is ruptured by heat to release the flavor component, so that the content of the flavor component increases during the next inhalation. When the control component controls the polarity of the first sub-generator 31 to be positive and the polarity of the second sub-generator 32 to be negative, the microcapsule 30 will move toward the direction of the first sub-generator 31 driven by the dielectrophoretic force, that is, the microcapsule 30 moves in the direction away from the lower liquid hole 6, so that the concentration of microcapsules 30 in the atomized liquid around the lower liquid hole 6 decreases, thereby preventing the microcapsules 30 from being heated and ruptured by the atomization component 2 to release flavor components, thereby reducing the content of flavor components during the next inhalation.

[0066] The control component controls the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 to be powered on, and the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 form a non-uniform electric field when powered on. When the intensity of the electric field jointly generated by the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 around the lower liquid hole 6 is greater than the intensity of the electric field generated by the first sub-generator 31, the microcapsule 30 will move toward the lower liquid hole 6 under the drive of the dielectrophoretic force, so that the concentration of the microcapsules 30 in the atomized liquid around the lower liquid hole 6 increases, and the microcapsules 30 will release flavor components when they are heated and ruptured, thereby increasing the content of the flavor components during the next inhalation; when the intensity of the electric field jointly generated by the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 around the lower liquid hole 6 is less than the intensity of the electric field generated by the first sub-generator 31, the microcapsule 30 will move away from the lower liquid hole 6 under the drive of the dielectrophoretic force, so that the concentration of the microcapsules 30 in the atomized liquid around the lower liquid hole 6 decreases, thereby preventing the microcapsules 30 from being heated and ruptured by the atomization component 2 to release flavor components, thereby reducing the content of the flavor components during the next inhalation.

[0067] It should be noted that the capsule membrane of the microcapsule 30 ruptures to release the flavor components when the electric field strength is greater than a preset threshold value. Specifically, under the action of the electric field, the difference in conductivity and dielectric constant on the inner and outer interfaces of the microcapsule 30 generates Maxwell interface stress, causing the interface to deform and thus break the capsule membrane. When the first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32, and the third sub-generator 33 are energized to form a non-uniform electric field, the closer to the lower oil hole 102, the greater the electric field strength, and the maximum value of the electric field strength is greater than the preset threshold value, so that the capsule membrane of the microcapsule 30 ruptures to release the flavor components under the action of the electric field, and compared with the capsule membrane of the microcapsule 30 rupturing to release the flavor components under the heating of the atomizer assembly 2, the speed at which the microcapsule 30 releases the flavor components can be faster.

[0068] It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as the structure of the electronic atomization device in the third example, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0069] In some embodiments, the energy field is a light field; the energy generator 3 includes at least two sub-generators arranged at intervals in the liquid storage component, the sub-generator is a light irradiation device 36, at least one sub-generator is arranged on the side of the liquid supply device close to the lower liquid hole 6, and / or at least one sub-generator is arranged on the liquid storage component opposite to the lower liquid hole 6. Specifically, only one sub-generator can be arranged on the side of the cavity wall 12 of the oil cup 1 close to the lower liquid hole 6 or on the cavity wall 12 with the lower liquid hole 6, and the rest of the multiple sub-generators are arranged on the cavity wall 12 away from the lower liquid hole 6, and can be arranged on other cavity walls 12 arranged directly or obliquely to the lower liquid hole 6; or, only one sub-generator is arranged on the side of the cavity wall 12 close to the lower liquid hole 6, and the rest of the multiple sub-generators are arranged on the cavity wall 12 close to the lower liquid hole 6; or, one or more sub-generators are arranged on the cavity wall 12 on the side close to or with the lower liquid hole 6, and at the same time, one or more sub-generators are arranged on the side of the cavity wall 12 close to the lower liquid hole 6.

[0070] It is understandable that the sub-generator may not be arranged on the cavity wall 12 where the lower liquid hole 6 is located or adjacent to it, or it may be arranged on the cavity wall 12 and the cavity wall 12 between the lower liquid hole 6. For example, the movement path of the microcapsule 20 under the action of the radiation light of the sub-generator may pass through the lower liquid hole 6, that is, as long as the radiation light generated by one or more sub-generators in the liquid storage cavity 13 can enable the microcapsule 20 to achieve directional movement toward or away from the lower liquid hole 6, it will be fine.

[0071] See also Figure 1 In the seventh specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 and a second sub-generator 32 respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the oil cup 1, and the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are both illumination devices 36, and two first sub-generators 31 are provided, and the two first sub-generators 31 are provided on opposite sides of the vent pipe 4; two second sub-generators 32 are provided, and the two second sub-generators 32 are provided on opposite sides of the vent pipe 4; the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 emit different radiation light illumination intensities, and the microcapsule 20 moves toward the one of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 with a weaker radiation light illumination intensity. It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as that of the electronic atomization device in the first specific example, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0072] It should be noted that the stronger the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the sub-generator, the greater the light radiation pressure generated by the microcapsule 20 absorbing the radiation light, and the direction of application of the radiation pressure is the emission direction of the radiation light. When the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 both emit radiation light, the microcapsule 20 is respectively subjected to the light radiation pressure with the force direction toward the bottom of the oil cup 1 and the light radiation pressure B with the force direction toward the top of the oil cup 1, and the microcapsule 20 moves in the direction of the smaller light radiation pressure A and light radiation pressure B. For example:

[0073] The illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by one of the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 is constant, and the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the other sub-generator 32 is variable, so that the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 is different. When the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 is constant, and the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 is variable; if the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 is weak, the light radiation pressure A is greater than the light radiation pressure B, and the microcapsule 20 moves toward the bottom of the oil cup 1, so that the content of the flavor component increases during the next inhalation; if the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 is strong, the light radiation pressure A is less than the light radiation pressure B, and the microcapsule 20 moves toward the top of the oil cup 1, so that the content of the flavor component decreases during the next inhalation.

[0074] Alternatively, both the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 emit radiation light with variable illumination intensity. When the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 is relatively weak, the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 is relatively strong, at this time, the light radiation pressure A is less than the light radiation pressure B, and the microcapsule 20 moves toward the top of the oil cup 1, so that the content of the flavor component decreases during the next inhalation. When the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 is relatively strong, the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 is relatively weak, at this time, the light radiation pressure A is greater than the light radiation pressure B, and the microcapsule 20 moves toward the bottom of the oil cup 1, so that the content of the flavor component increases during the next inhalation.

[0075] See also Figure 2In the eighth specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the oil cup 1 and a second sub-generator 32 disposed outside the ventilation pipe 4 and facing the first sub-generator 31. The first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are both illumination devices 36, and the illumination intensities of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are different. It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as that of the electronic atomization device in the fourth example, and the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 is set in the same manner as the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 in the seventh specific example, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] See also Figure 3 In the ninth specific example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31, a second sub-generator 32 and a third sub-generator 33, all of which are fixed to the oil cup 1. The first sub-generator 31 is fixed to the top of the oil cup 1, and the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are both fixed to the bottom of the oil cup 1, and the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are distributed on both sides of the lower liquid hole 6. The first sub-generator 31, the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 are all illumination devices 36, and the sum of the illumination intensities of the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 is greater than the illumination intensity of the radiation light emitted by the first sub-generator 31, and the radiation light emitted by the second sub-generator 32 and the third sub-generator 33 acts together on the microcapsule 20 to generate a light radiation pressure B, so that the microcapsule 20 moves in the direction of the smaller light radiation pressure A and the light radiation pressure B. It should be understood that the structure of the electronic atomization device in this example is the same as that of the electronic atomization device in the third example, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0077] In some embodiments, the energy field is an acoustic field; the energy generator 3 includes at least two sub-generators spaced apart in the liquid storage assembly, the sub-generators are acoustic field generators 37, at least one sub-generator is disposed on a side of the liquid supply device close to the lower liquid hole 6, and / or at least one sub-generator is disposed on the liquid storage assembly opposite to the lower liquid hole 6. Specifically, the arrangement of the sub-generator whose energy field is an acoustic field is the same as the arrangement of the sub-generator whose energy field is an optical field, and will not be described repeatedly here.

[0078] It should be understood that the microcapsule 20 will be subjected to acoustic radiation force in the acoustic field, and the stronger the intensity of the sound wave emitted by the acoustic field generator 37, the greater the acoustic radiation force generated by the microcapsule 20 absorbing the sound wave, and the direction of application of the acoustic radiation force is the transmission direction of the sound wave. For example, the energy generator 3 includes a first sub-generator 31 and a second sub-generator 32, and the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 are both acoustic field generators 37. When the first sub-generator 31 and the second sub-generator 32 both emit sound waves, the microcapsule 20 is respectively subjected to an acoustic radiation force A with a force direction toward the bottom of the oil cup 1 and a radiation pressure B with a force direction toward the top of the oil cup 1, and the microcapsule 20 moves in the direction of the smaller of the acoustic radiation force A and the radiation pressure B.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
