Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0003] An aerosol generating device is an electronic transmission system that controls the working state and smoke output through control circuits and atomizing elements for user use.
[0004] Existing aerosol generating devices usually use a single liquid storage chamber and a single atomizing core. The aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage chamber is guided to the atomizing core through the lower liquid channel and heated and atomized by the atomizing core. The aerosol generating matrix is composed of a variety of components with different boiling points and volatility characteristics, but the atomization conditions are the same, so it is difficult to effectively atomize each component at the same time to improve the taste.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, those skilled in the art have proposed a solution of dual liquid storage chambers and dual atomization cores. The dual liquid storage chambers store aerosol-generating matrices with different boiling points, and each atomization core corresponds to a liquid storage chamber. The aerosols heated and atomized by the dual atomization cores are mixed and then reach the user's mouth through the air outlet channel. However, this structure is large in size and the user experience is not good. Summary of the invention

When the aerosol generating matrix in the atomizer 100 is used up, the aerosol generating device as a whole is discarded, that is, the aerosol generating device is a disposable item.
[0059] It should be noted that the specific type of the aerosol generating device provided in the embodiments of the present application is not limited. By way of example, the aerosol generating device may be a medical atomization device, an air humidifier, or an atomization device such as an electronic cigarette.

[0061] Another aspect of the present invention provides an atomizer 100, see Figures 1 to 11, including a first liquid storage chamber 100b, a second liquid storage chamber 100c, an atomizer seat 20 and an atomizer core 10 provided in any embodiment of the present application. The first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c are independent of each other and are used to store different aerosol generating matrices. The atomizer seat 20 is provided with a first liquid inlet channel 21a and a second liquid inlet channel 21b that are independent of each other. The atomizer core 10 is fixed on the atomizer seat 20, the first liquid inlet channel 21a connects the first atomization area and the first liquid storage chamber 100b, and the second liquid inlet channel 21b connects the second atomization area and the second liquid storage chamber 100c.
[0062] The first liquid inlet channel 21a connects the first atomization area and the first liquid storage chamber 100b. The first liquid storage chamber 100b is in liquid communication with the liquid suction surface 11b of the first atomization area through the first liquid inlet channel 21a. The second liquid inlet channel 21b connects the second atomization area and the second liquid storage chamber 100c. The second liquid storage chamber 100c is in liquid communication with the liquid suction surface 11b of the second atomization area through the second liquid inlet channel 21b.
[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The atomizer 100 includes a first liquid storage chamber 100b and a second liquid storage chamber 100c which are independent of each other. The first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c are used to store different aerosol generating substrates. The first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c are independent of each other, that is, the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c are not connected, and the aerosol generating substrates between the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c will not flow through each other.
[0064] In other embodiments, the atomizer 100 includes a plurality of mutually independent liquid storage chambers, each of which is independent of the other.
[0065] It should be noted that the multiple mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to a number of 2 or more.
[0066] The atomizer 100 is used to atomize an aerosol-generating substrate to generate an aerosol for inhalation by a user.
[0067] Exemplarily, the atomizer 100 includes an ejector pin, and the power supply assembly is electrically connected to the atomizer core 10 via the ejector pin. For example, the ejector pin is electrically connected to the heating element 12 on the atomization surface 11a of the atomizer core 10.
[0068] Another aspect of the present invention provides an atomizer core 10. Figures 2 to 11 The atomizer core 10 includes a liquid-conducting liquid 11 and a heating element 12 .
[0069] The liquid-conducting liquid 11 includes a plurality of through holes and an atomizing surface 11a and a liquid absorbing surface 11b arranged opposite to each other. The through holes penetrate the liquid absorbing surface 11b and the atomizing surface 11a, and are used to guide the aerosol-generating matrix from the liquid absorbing surface 11b to the atomizing surface 11a. The heating element 12 is arranged on the atomizing surface 11a. The heating element 12 includes a first electrode 121, a second electrode 122 and at least two heating units 123. At least two heating units 123 are arranged at intervals and connected between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 in parallel or in series. The atomizing core 10 is divided into a first atomizing area and a second atomizing area corresponding to the at least two heating units 123. The first atomizing area is not connected to the second atomizing area liquid.
[0070] The atomizing surface 11 a and the liquid absorbing surface 11 b of the liquid guiding liquid 11 are arranged opposite to each other, which is beneficial for guiding the aerosol-generating matrix to the atomizing surface 11 a of the liquid guiding liquid 11 through the liquid absorbing surface 11 b of the liquid guiding liquid 11 .
[0071] For example, see Figures 9 to 11 The atomizing core 10 includes a liquid guiding liquid 11 and a heating element 12. The atomizing surface 11a and the liquid absorbing surface 11b are arranged on opposite sides of the liquid guiding liquid 11. The heating element 12 is arranged on the atomizing surface 11a, and the heating element 12 can generate heat after being energized.
[0072] The atomizing core 10 blocks the flow of the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid storage chamber 100 b and the second liquid storage chamber 100 c , that is, the aerosol generating substrate does not directly flow into the atomizing chamber 100 d of the atomizer 100 .
[0073] In some embodiments, the liquid-conducting material 11 is a porous material such as ceramics to form a cubic structure for absorbing aerosol to generate a matrix.
[0074] A plurality of micropores are formed in the liquid guiding liquid 11, and the micropores can guide the aerosol generating matrix from the liquid absorbing surface 11b to the atomizing surface 11a. The heating element 12 is arranged on the atomizing surface 11a, that is, the liquid absorbing surface 11b is used to absorb the aerosol generating matrix, that is, the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage chamber can flow to the liquid absorbing surface 11b, and the aerosol generating matrix is guided to the atomizing surface 11a under the capillary force of the micropores, and the heating element 12 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating matrix to form an aerosol.
[0075] In some other embodiments, the material of the liquid-conducting body 11 is glass.
[0076] See also Figure 10 to Figure 11The heating element 12 includes a first electrode 121, a second electrode 122 and at least two heating units 123, and the at least two heating units 123 are arranged at intervals and connected between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 in parallel or in series. In other words, the heating units 123 can be connected in parallel or in series between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122, or some of the heating units 123 can be connected in parallel, and the other heating units 123 can be connected in series between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122.
[0077] For example, when the number of the heating units 123 is two, the two heating units 123 can be connected in parallel or in series between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122; when the number of the heating units 123 is three, two of the heating units 123 can be connected in parallel and then connected in series with another heating unit 123 between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122.
[0078] One of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 is a positive electrode, and the other is a negative electrode.
[0079] That is to say, each heating unit 123 shares the positive and negative electrodes, which is convenient for electrical connection and control, is conducive to miniaturization of the atomizer core 10, and simplifies the coating process.
[0080] The heating powers of the heating units 123 may be the same or different. The heating powers of the heating units 123 may be controlled to be different.
[0081] Each heating unit 123 can work simultaneously, or can work in different time periods according to needs, that is, each heating unit 123 can be controlled in a working state and a non-working state respectively.
[0082] Of course, the working time of each heating unit 123 can also be controlled separately.
[0083] The atomizer core 10 is divided into a first atomization area and a second atomization area corresponding to at least two heating units 123, and the first atomization area is not connected to the second atomization area by liquid. That is, the first atomization area corresponds to at least one heating unit 123, and the second atomization area corresponds to at least one heating unit 123.
[0084] The first atomization zone is not in liquid communication with the second atomization zone, that is, the aerosol-generating substrates between the first atomization zone and the second atomization zone do not flow through each other.
[0085] It should be noted that, the atomizer core 10 is not limited to only including the first atomization area and the second atomization area. The atomizer core 10 may also include other atomization areas, such as a third atomization area.
[0086] The atomizing core 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a liquid guiding surface 11 and a heating element 12. The liquid guiding surface 11 includes an atomizing surface 11a, a liquid absorbing surface 11b and a through hole penetrating the atomizing surface 11a and the liquid absorbing surface 11b, respectively, and the aerosol generating substrate can be guided from the liquid absorbing surface 11b to the atomizing surface 11a through the through hole. The heating element 12 is arranged on the atomizing surface 11a, that is, the liquid absorbing surface 11b is used to absorb the aerosol generating substrate, and the aerosol generating substrate can be guided from the liquid absorbing surface 11b to the atomizing surface 11a. The heating element 12 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating substrate to generate an aerosol. In addition, by setting the heating element 12 to include a first electrode 121, a second electrode 122 and at least two heating units 123, at least two heating units 123 are arranged at intervals and connected between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 in parallel or in series, that is, each heating unit 123 can share the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the atomizer core 10 structure and simplifies the coating process. In addition, by dividing the atomizer core 10 into a first atomization area and a second atomization area corresponding to at least two heating units 123, the first atomization area and the second atomization area are not connected by liquid, that is, the atomizer core 10 can heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrate in different liquid storage chambers through the first atomization area and the second atomization area. Compared with the technical solution of one-to-one correspondence between multiple atomizer cores 10 and multiple liquid storage chambers, the atomizer core 10 of the embodiment of the present application can heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrate in multiple liquid storage chambers respectively, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the aerosol generating device.
[0087] In the related art, the aerosol generating matrix is composed of a mixture of components with different boiling points. The temperature of the aerosol generating matrix during atomization is between the lowest boiling point and the highest boiling point of each component, resulting in insufficient atomization of some high-boiling point substances, and the sensory flavor of the high-boiling point components is not obvious, resulting in poor atomization effect and poor taste.
[0088] The atomizer core 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to heat and atomize components with different boiling points by setting the heating power of each heating unit 123 to be different, thereby improving the atomization effect of the aerosol generation matrix and improving the taste.
[0089] It should be noted that there are many ways to achieve liquid non-communication between the first atomization area and the second atomization area. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the liquid-conducting liquid 11 is a dense matrix, and the through-holes are independent holes. By setting the liquid-conducting liquid 11 to be made of a dense matrix, and the through-holes are independent holes, that is, the liquids between the through-holes are not connected, that is, the aerosol-generating matrix between the through-holes will not circulate with each other. In this way, the aerosol-generating matrix can only be diverted from the liquid absorption surface 11b to the atomization surface 11a through the through-holes, and will not flow from the first atomization area to the second atomization area.
[0090] It should be noted that the type of dense matrix is not limited here. Exemplarily, the material of the liquid-conducting liquid 11 is dense ceramic or glass.
[0091] In other embodiments, the through holes are disordered holes, and a dense partition layer 14 is provided between the first atomization zone and the second atomization zone. The dense partition layer 14 is used to isolate the through holes of the first atomization zone and the second atomization zone from being connected.
[0092] The through holes are disordered holes, for example, a plurality of micropores formed in the liquid guiding liquid 11, and the micropores can guide the aerosol generating matrix from the liquid absorption surface 11b to the atomization surface 11a, and the heating element 12 is arranged on the atomization surface 11a, that is, the liquid absorption surface 11b is used to absorb the aerosol generating matrix, that is, the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage cavity can flow to the liquid absorption surface 11b, and the aerosol generating matrix is guided to the atomization surface 11a under the capillary force of the micropores, and the heating element 12 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating matrix to form an aerosol.
[0093] A dense partition 14 is provided between the first atomization zone and the second atomization zone, and the dense partition 14 is used to isolate the through-holes of the first atomization zone and the second atomization zone from being connected, that is, the aerosol-generating matrix of the first atomization zone will not flow to the second atomization zone.
[0094] In some embodiments, the disordered pores are formed by pore formers when the ceramic or glass is sintered.
[0095] The pore former is, for example, an additive that increases the pore structure in the matrix material, and is generally a substance that is easily decomposed into gas. For example, by adding the pore former to the matrix material, and then sintering to decompose the pore former into gas, the gas overflows from the matrix material to generate disordered pores.
[0096] In some embodiments, at least two heating units 123 are connected in parallel. The atomizing surface 11a has a length direction and a width direction, at least two heating units 123 extend along the width direction, and the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 at least partially extend along the length direction.
[0097] That is to say, each heating unit 123 extends in the width direction, and each heating unit 123 is arranged in the length direction. By setting at least part of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 to extend in the length direction, it is beneficial for each heating unit 123 to share the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122, and a reasonable layout makes the structure of the atomizer core 10 compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the atomizer core 10 and simplifies the coating process.
[0098] In some embodiments, the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are both L-shaped and include a first section and a second section. The first section of the first electrode 121 and the first section of the second electrode 122 are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the atomized surface 11a. The second section of the first electrode 121 and the second section of the second electrode 122 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the atomized surface 11a.
[0099] By configuring the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 to be L-shaped, the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 each include a first segment and a second segment.
[0100] The first section of the first electrode 121 and the first section of the second electrode 122 are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the atomizing surface 11a. The second section of the first electrode 121 and the second section of the second electrode 122 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a. Since each heating unit 123 extends in the width direction, the two ends of each heating unit 123 are respectively connected to the second section of the first electrode 121 and the second section of the second electrode 122. By locating the first section of the first electrode 121 and the first section of the second electrode 122 on both sides of the length direction of the atomizing surface 11a, the space of the atomizing surface 11a in the length direction can be fully utilized, so that the power supply component is electrically connected to the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 through the first section of the first electrode 121 and the first section of the second electrode 122. In addition, this layout can provide space for each heating unit 123 in the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a as much as possible, that is, it is conducive to increasing the size of each heating unit 123 in the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a (that is, the size of each heating unit 123 in the extension direction, or the length of each heating unit 123). Reasonable layout makes the structure of the atomizer core 10 compact, which is conducive to miniaturization of the atomizer core 10 and simplifies the coating process.
[0101] In some embodiments, the width of the first segment of the first electrode 121 is greater than the width of the second segment thereof. The width of the first segment of the second electrode 122 is greater than the width of the second segment thereof. The aspect ratio of at least two heating units 123 is greater than 2.
[0102] That is to say, by setting the width of the first electrode 121 in the length direction of the atomizing surface 11a to be greater than its width in the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a, it is further beneficial to increase the size of each heating unit 123 in the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a, and can ensure that the width of the first section of the first electrode 121 is large enough, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection with the power supply component.
[0103] By setting the width of the second electrode 122 in the length direction of the atomizing surface 11a to be greater than its width in the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a, it is further beneficial to increase the size of each heating unit 123 in the width direction of the atomizing surface 11a, and can ensure that the width of the first section of the second electrode 122 is large enough, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection with the power supply component.
[0104] The aspect ratio of at least two heating units 123 is greater than 2, that is, the aspect ratio of each heating unit 123 is greater than 2. It should be noted that the length of the heating unit 123 is the size of the heating unit 123 in the width direction of the atomization surface 11a, the width of the heating unit 123 is the size of the heating unit 123 in the length direction of the atomization surface 11a, and the aspect ratio of each heating unit 123 is greater than 2, so that the distance between the central high temperature zone of the heating unit 123 and the connection between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 can be increased, and to a certain extent, the failure of the connection between the heating unit 123 and the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 can be avoided, and the situation of anode corrosion caused by wet burning of the atomization core 10 can be improved.
[0105] In some embodiments, at least two heating units 123 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. By arranging the heating units 123 in parallel and spaced apart, it is more conducive to the layout of the aerosol generating device, can improve the uniformity of heating the atomizing core 10, and is conducive to improving the atomization effect.
[0106] It is understandable that in the embodiment where each heating unit 123 shares positive and negative electrodes, the power distribution and heat flux density of each heating unit 123 are determined by the resistivity, length, and cross-sectional dimensions of each heating unit 123 .
[0107] The resistivity of the heating units 123 of different materials is different. Here, the length refers to the dimension between the positive and negative ends of each heating unit 123. The cross-sectional dimension refers to the cross-sectional dimension of each heating unit 123 in the direction perpendicular to the length.
[0108] In some embodiments, at least some of the heating units 123 have different resistances. Thus, at least some of the heating units 123 have inconsistent heating powers, that is, the heating power of the heating unit 123 can be controlled by controlling the resistance of the heating unit 123, so that components with different boiling points can be used.
[0109] In some embodiments, at least some of the heating units 123 are made of different materials. The heating units 123 made of different materials have different resistivities. By selecting the heating units 123 made of different materials, the resistivities of at least some of the heating units 123 are different.
[0110] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 to Figure 11 , at least two heating units 123 have the same material and thickness.
[0111] The material and thickness of each heating unit 123 are the same. In other words, the resistivity of each heating unit 123 is the same, and the resistance of each heating unit 123 can be controlled by controlling the length and width of each heating unit 123 .
[0112] The first end of each heating unit 123 is connected to the first electrode 121, and the second end of each heating unit 123 is connected to the second electrode 122. The direction from the first end to the second end is the length direction of the heating unit 123, or the extension direction of the heating unit 123, and the direction perpendicular to the length direction is the width direction of the heating unit 123. It should be noted that the size of the heating unit 123 in the length direction and the size in the width direction are not specifically limited, that is, the size of the heating unit 123 in the length direction is not necessarily greater than the size of the heating unit 123 in the width direction, that is, the size of the heating unit 123 in the length direction may be greater than the size of the heating unit 123 in the width direction, or may be equal to the size of the heating unit 123 in the width direction, or may be equal to the size of the heating unit 123 in the width direction. Exemplarily, the aspect ratio of each heating unit 123 is greater than 2.
[0113] In some embodiments, see Fig.10 There are two heating units 123, and the two heating units 123 have the same size in the first direction and different sizes in the second direction. The first direction is parallel to the direction from the first end to the second end, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0114] The first direction is parallel to the direction from the first end to the second end, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In other words, the first direction is the length direction of the heating unit 123 , and the second direction is the width direction of the heating unit 123 .
[0115] The first direction is as shown in the attached Fig.10 and attached Fig.11 The direction indicated by Z1 in the figure, the second direction is as shown in the attached figure. Fig.10 and attached Fig.11 The direction indicated by Z2.
[0116] The two heating units 123 have the same size in the first direction and different sizes in the second direction, that is, the two heating units 123 have the same size in the length direction and different sizes in the width direction.
[0117] By setting the material and thickness of the two heating units 123 to be the same, and setting the sizes of the two heating units 123 in the length direction to be equal, and setting the sizes in the width direction to be different, that is, the two heating units 123 are the same in size and material except for the size in the width direction, so that the heating power of the two heating units 123 can be controlled by controlling the width of the two heating units 123.
[0118] In some other embodiments, see Fig.11 The two heating units 123 have different sizes in the first direction and different sizes in the second direction.
[0119] The two heating units 123 have different sizes in the first direction and different sizes in the second direction, that is, the two heating units 123 have different sizes in the length direction and different sizes in the width direction.
[0120] By setting the material and thickness of the two heating units 123 to be the same, and setting the sizes of the two heating units 123 in the length direction to be different, and setting the sizes in the width direction to be different, that is, the two heating units 123 are the same in other sizes and materials except for the sizes in the length direction and the width direction, so that the heating power of the two heating units 123 can be controlled by controlling the length and width of the two heating units 123.
[0121] In a specific embodiment, the number of the heating units 123 is two, the two heating units 123 are connected in parallel, the two heating units 123 have the same material and thickness, and the ratio of the dimensions of the two heating units 123 in the length direction is The ratio of the dimensions in the width direction is Therefore, the ratio of the heating powers of the two heating units 123 is 3:5, and the ratio of the heat flux densities of the two heating units 123 is 3:5.
[0122] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Fig.12 There are two heating units 123, which are connected in parallel. The two heating units 123 have the same material and thickness. The two heating units 123 have equal sizes in the length direction (for example, both are 2.4 mm) and the width direction (for example, both are 0.8 mm). Therefore, the ratio of the heating power of the two heating units 123 is 5:5.
[0123] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Fig.13There are two heating units 123, which are connected in parallel. The material and thickness of the two heating units 123 are the same. The dimensions of the two heating units 123 in the length direction are equal (for example, both are 2.4 mm), and the ratio of the dimensions in the width direction is 5:4 (for example, 1 mm and 0.8 mm respectively). Therefore, the ratio of the heating power of the two heating units 123 is 5:4.
[0124] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Fig.14 There are two heating units 123, which are connected in parallel. The material and thickness of the two heating units 123 are the same. The dimensions of the two heating units 123 in the length direction are equal (for example, both are 2.4 mm), and the ratio of the dimensions in the width direction is 5:3 (for example, 1 mm and 0.6 mm respectively). Therefore, the ratio of the heating power of the two heating units 123 is 5:3.
[0125] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Fig.15 There are two heating units 123, which are connected in series. The first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the atomizing surface 11a. The two heating units 123 are connected in series with the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122. A partition area 124 is arranged between the two heating units 123. The partition area 124 can be made of electrode material, for example, that is, the partition area 124 not only plays a partition role, but also has an electrical connection role.
[0126] In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent heating units 123 is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, for example, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.6 mm, 4.0 mm or 5 mm.
[0127] By setting the spacing between adjacent heating units 123 to be greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, it is convenient for each heating unit 123 to be arranged in parallel between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122. In addition, it is also beneficial for each heating unit 123 to have a sufficient spacing to correspond to different liquid storage cavities, so as to heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrates in different liquid storage cavities.
[0128] In some embodiments, the resistance of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are both less than 5% of the resistance of the heating unit 123. That is, the resistance of the first electrode 121 is less than 5% of the resistance of the heating unit 123, and the resistance of the second electrode 122 is also less than 5% of the resistance of the heating unit 123.
[0129] For the atomizer 100 of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , including a first liquid storage chamber 100b, a second liquid storage chamber 100c, an atomizer seat 20 and an atomizer core 10 provided in any embodiment of the present application. The first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c are independent of each other and are used to store different aerosol generating matrices. The atomizer seat 20 is provided with a first liquid inlet channel 21a and a second liquid inlet channel 21b that are independent of each other. The atomizer core 10 is fixed on the atomizer seat 20, the first liquid inlet channel 21a connects the first atomization area and the first liquid storage chamber 100b, and the second liquid inlet channel 21b connects the second atomization area and the second liquid storage chamber 100c. The atomizer core 10 can heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c respectively through the first atomization area and the second atomization area. Compared with the technical solution of one-to-one correspondence between multiple atomizer cores 10 and multiple liquid storage chambers, the atomizer core 10 of the embodiment of the present application can heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c respectively, which is conducive to miniaturization of the aerosol generating device, improving the atomization effect of the aerosol generating substrate and improving the taste.
[0130] It should be noted that the specific manner in which the atomizer core 10 is fixed to the atomizer seat 20 is not limited here. For example, the atomizer seat 20 is provided with a mounting groove 21d that is connected to both the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b. At least part of the atomizer core 10 is disposed in the mounting groove 21d. The atomizer core 10 includes a plurality of mutually independent liquid inlet areas 10a. When projected on a plane parallel to the atomizing surface 11a, there is at least one heating unit 123 within the projection range of each liquid inlet area 10a.
[0131] The atomizer seat 20 is provided with a first liquid inlet channel 21a, a second liquid inlet channel 21b, and a mounting groove 21d connected to the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b. In other words, the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c can flow to the mounting groove 21d through the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b, respectively.
[0132] At least part of the atomizer core 10 is disposed in the mounting groove 21d. Specifically, the atomizer core 10 is disposed at the extended ends of the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b. The first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b are respectively used to guide the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c to the atomizer core 10. The atomizer core 10 blocks the flow of the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b, that is, the aerosol generating substrate will not flow directly into the atomizing chamber 100d. The atomizer core 10 is used to absorb and heat the atomized aerosol generating substrate and generate aerosol.
[0133] The atomizer core 10 includes a first liquid inlet channel 21a and a second liquid inlet channel 21b which are independent of each other. Thus, the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b which are independent of each other can correspond to the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c which are independent of each other, that is, liquid can be respectively supplied to the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c which are independent of each other.
[0134] Projected on a plane parallel to the atomization surface 11 a , there is at least one heating unit 123 within the projection range of each liquid inlet area 10 a , that is, there may be one or more heating units 123 within the projection range of each liquid inlet area 10 a .
[0135] At least one heating unit 123 is provided within the projection range of each liquid inlet area 10a, so that different liquid inlet areas 10a can be heated and atomized separately.
[0136] See also Figures 1 to 11 The atomizer 100 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first liquid storage chamber 100b and a second liquid storage chamber 100c which are independent of each other, and the atomizer seat 20 is provided with a first liquid inlet channel 21a and a second liquid inlet channel 21b which are independent of each other, and a mounting groove 21d which is connected to the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b which are independent of each other, and at least a part of the atomizer core 10 is arranged in the mounting groove 21d, and the atomizer core 10 is arranged to include a plurality of independent liquid inlet areas 10a, and the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c can be respectively connected to the liquid absorption surface 11b of each liquid inlet area 10a through the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b, so as to realize the aerosol generating matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the second liquid storage chamber 100c being guided to the liquid absorption surface 11b of different liquid inlet areas 10a. And when projected on a plane parallel to the atomization surface 11a, there is at least one heating unit 123 within the projection range of each liquid inlet area 10a. By arranging at least one heating unit 123 within the projection range of each liquid inlet area 10a, heating and atomization of different liquid inlet areas 10a can be achieved respectively, that is, heating units 123 with different heating powers can be set according to different aerosol generating substrates, and aerosol generating substrates with different atomization temperatures can be heated and atomized by the heating units 123 with different heating powers, thereby satisfying aerosol generating substrates with different atomization temperatures, improving the atomization effect, improving the taste, and thus improving the user experience.
[0137] In some embodiments, the liquid storage cavity, the liquid inlet channel and the liquid inlet area 10a correspond to each other. That is, the number of liquid storage cavities, liquid inlet channels and liquid inlet areas 10a is the same and they correspond to each other. In other words, one liquid storage cavity corresponds to one liquid inlet channel, and the aerosol generating substrate in the liquid storage cavity flows into a corresponding liquid inlet area 10a through the liquid inlet channel.
[0138] Of course, in other embodiments, the liquid storage chambers may correspond to the liquid inlet regions 10a one-to-one, but not to the liquid inlet channels one-to-one. For example, the aerosol-generating substrate in one liquid storage chamber may flow into a corresponding liquid inlet region 10a through one or more corresponding liquid inlet channels. The number of liquid inlet channels corresponding to different liquid storage chambers may be the same or different.
[0139] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 7 The atomizer 100 includes a housing assembly 30. The housing assembly 30 includes a partition 33 and a housing 31 having a cavity 31a. At least part of the structure of the atomizer seat 20 is disposed in the cavity 31a, and a liquid storage space 100a is defined between the partition 33 and the inner wall of the cavity 31a. The partition 33 is disposed in the liquid storage space 100a, and separates the liquid storage space 100a into a first liquid storage cavity 100b and a second liquid storage cavity 100c.
[0140] The housing 31 and the partition 33 may be an integrated structure, for example, integrally injection molded. The integrated housing 31 and the partition 33 can reduce the number of parts, reduce assembly time, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0141] Of course, the housing 31 and the partition 33 may also be a split structure.
[0142] At least part of the structure of the atomizer seat 20 is disposed in the cavity 31 a . A part of the structure of the atomizer seat 20 may be disposed in the cavity 31 a , or the whole structure of the atomizer seat 20 may be disposed in the cavity 31 a .
[0143] In this way, by configuring the housing assembly 30 to include the partition plate 33 and the housing 31 having the cavity 31 a , the atomizer seat 20 , the housing 31 , and the partition plate 33 define the first liquid storage chamber 100 b and the second liquid storage chamber 100 c .
[0144] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 7 The atomizer seat 20 includes a body 21 and a second sealing member 22. The body 21 forms a first liquid inlet channel 21a and a second liquid inlet channel 21b. The second sealing member 22 is at least sealingly sandwiched between the top wall of the body 21 and the partition 33 to separate the liquid storage space 100a into a first liquid storage chamber 100b and a second liquid storage chamber 100c.
[0145] The second seal 22 is at least sealed and clamped between the top wall of the body 21 and the partition 33, that is, the second seal 22 can be sealed and clamped between the top wall of the body 21 and the partition 33. Alternatively, a part of the second seal 22 is sealed and clamped between the top wall of the body 21 and the partition 33, and another part is sealed and clamped between the side wall of the body 21 and the cavity wall of the cavity 31a. In this way, the second seal 22 can be used to seal the gap between the partition 33 and the body 21, and can also be used to seal the gap between the body 21 and the cavity wall of the cavity 31a, which can prevent the aerosol-generating matrix from flowing into the atomizing chamber 100d through the installation gap between the body 21 and the cavity wall of the cavity 31a to a certain extent. Exemplarily, the second sealing member 22 is, for example, a sealing sleeve, which is roughly basin-shaped and is mounted on the top of the main body 21 so that the top wall sealing clamp of the sealing sleeve is disposed between the top wall of the main body 21 and the partition 33, and the side wall sealing clamp of the sealing sleeve is disposed between the side wall of the main body 21 and the cavity wall of the cavity 31a.
[0146] The second seal 22 is arranged on the top of the main body 21, that is, the second seal 22 is at least sealingly clamped between the partition 33 and the top wall of the main body 21, which is beneficial for sealing the gap between the partition 33 and the main body 21 by the second seal 22, so that the second seal 22 and the partition 33 separate the liquid storage space 100a into a first liquid storage chamber 100b and a second liquid storage chamber 100c.
[0147] The formation method of the liquid storage space 100a is not limited here. For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The second sealing member 22 defines a liquid storage space 100a with the cavity wall of the cavity 31a. That is, the second sealing member 22 is disposed at the top of the body 21 and defines a liquid storage space 100a with the inner wall of the cavity 31a.
[0148] Exemplarily, the second sealing member 22 is provided with an avoidance hole, so that the aerosol generating substrate in the liquid storage chamber can enter the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b through the avoidance hole.
[0149] The material of the second sealing member 22 is not limited, for example, silicone, rubber, etc.
[0150] Of course, in other embodiments, the second sealing member 22 may not be provided, but a liquid storage chamber is defined between the partition plate 33 and the body 21 .
[0151] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 6 The atomizing seat 20 is provided with an atomizing chamber 100d, and the housing 31 includes an air outlet pipe 32 having an air outlet channel 32a, and the air outlet channel 32a is communicated with the atomizing chamber 100d for discharging the aerosol in the atomizing chamber 100d.
[0152] The atomizing seat 20 is provided with an atomizing space 21c communicating with the mounting groove 21d, and the atomizing surface 11a and the atomizing space 21c facing it define an atomizing cavity 100d.
[0153] Both sides of the partition plate 33 are connected between the air outlet pipe 32 and the side wall of the cavity 31 a.
[0154] Specifically, the air outlet pipe 32 is arranged along the top-bottom direction of the atomizer 100 , that is, the air outlet channel 32 a is arranged along the top-bottom direction of the atomizer 100 .
[0155] The housing 31 and the air outlet pipe 32 may be an integrated structure, for example, integrally injection molded. The integrated housing 31 and the air outlet pipe 32 can reduce the number of parts, reduce assembly time, and improve assembly efficiency.
[0156] Exemplarily, the housing 31 and the air outlet pipe 32 may also be a split structure to facilitate production and manufacturing.
[0157] The atomizing core 10 is provided with an atomizing space 21c connected to the mounting groove 21d, and the atomizing surface 11a and the atomizing space 21c facing it define an atomizing cavity 100d. The aerosol generating substrate is heated and atomized on the atomizing surface 11a and releases the generated aerosol toward the atomizing cavity 100d, and the outside air enters the atomizing cavity 100d and mixes with the aerosol, and carries the aerosol and is directly discharged from the air outlet channel 32a for use by the user.
[0158] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The extension direction of the air outlet channel 32a is parallel to the plane where the atomizing surface 11a is located.
[0159] The extension direction of the air outlet channel 32a is parallel or approximately parallel to the plane where the atomizing surface 11a is located, that is, the flow direction of the external air and the release direction of the aerosol after the atomizing surface 11a atomizes the aerosol to generate the matrix are perpendicular to each other, which is beneficial to the full mixing of the air and the aerosol, and is beneficial to shortening the path of the aerosol flowing into the air outlet channel 32a.
[0160] In some embodiments, the atomizing surface 11a is disposed on one side of the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b.
[0161] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5, the mounting groove 21d is arranged on one side of the liquid inlet channel, and the atomizer seat 20 is provided with a plurality of openings penetrating the partition wall between the mounting groove 21d and the liquid inlet channel. The openings, the liquid inlet channel and the liquid inlet region 10a correspond one to one, so that the aerosol generating substrate in the liquid inlet channel can enter the liquid inlet region 10a through the openings, that is, the aerosol generating substrate flows into the liquid inlet region 10a along the lateral flow. Exemplarily, the openings include, for example, a first opening 21e and a second opening 21n.
[0162] The body 21 is provided with an atomizing space 21c, a liquid inlet channel, a mounting groove 21d, and an opening penetrating the partition wall between the mounting groove 21d and the liquid inlet channel. The liquid inlet channel is connected to the air flow channel through the opening, and the mounting groove 21d is used to install the atomizing core 10, and the atomizing surface 11a of the atomizing core 10 is arranged toward the side away from the liquid inlet channel.
[0163] Specifically, the atomization seat 20 is provided with a first opening 21e and a second opening 21n which are independent of each other. The first opening 21e is connected to the first atomization area and the first liquid inlet channel 21a, and the second opening 21n is connected to the second atomization area and the second liquid inlet channel 21b.
[0164] Exemplarily, the extension direction of the atomization space 21c is parallel or approximately parallel to the extension direction of the air outlet channel 32a, that is, the flow direction of the external air in the atomization space 21c is perpendicular to the release direction of the aerosol after the atomization surface 11a atomizes the aerosol to generate the matrix.
[0165] For other implementations, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The extension direction of the air outlet channel 32a is perpendicular to the plane where the atomizing surface 11a is located.
[0166] The extension direction of the air outlet channel 32a is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the plane where the atomizing surface 11a is located, that is, the flow direction of the external air is parallel or approximately parallel to the release direction of the aerosol after the atomizing surface 11a atomizes the aerosol to generate the matrix.
[0167] The atomizing surface 11a is disposed at the bottom of the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b.
[0168] For example, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6, the mounting groove 21d is arranged at the bottom of the liquid inlet channel, and the atomizer seat 20 is provided with a first opening 21e and a second opening 21n which are independent of each other, the first opening 21e is connected to the first atomization area and the first liquid inlet channel 21a, and the second opening 21n is connected to the second atomization area and the second liquid inlet channel 21b. In this way, the aerosol generating substrate in the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b can enter the liquid inlet area 10a through the first opening 21e and the second opening 21n, and the aerosol generating substrate can flow from one side of the liquid inlet channel to one side of the liquid inlet area 10a through the first opening 21e and the second opening 21n, that is, the aerosol generating substrate flows along the top-bottom direction and flows into the liquid inlet area 10a.
[0169] Specifically, the body 21 is provided with an atomization space 21c, a first liquid inlet channel 21a, a second liquid inlet channel 21b, a mounting groove 21d, and a first opening 21e and a second opening 21n that penetrate through the partition wall between the mounting groove 21d and the liquid inlet channel. The first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b are connected to the first atomization area and the second atomization area through the first opening 21e and the second opening 21n, respectively. The mounting groove 21d is used to install the atomization core 10, and the atomization surface 11a of the atomization core 10 is arranged downward.
[0170] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 9 The atomizer core 10 further includes a first sealing member 13 , and the first liquid inlet channel 21 a and the second liquid inlet channel 21 b are separated by the first sealing member 13 at one end close to the liquid suction surface 11 b .
[0171] For example, the first sealing member 13 is at least sealingly sandwiched between the atomization seat 20 and the gap between the first atomization zone and the second atomization zone.
[0172] The first sealing member 13 is at least sealingly sandwiched between the liquid-conducting body 11 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 21d. In this way, it can be used to seal the installation gap between the liquid-conducting body 11 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 21d. To a certain extent, it can prevent the aerosol-generating matrix from flowing into the atomizing chamber 100d through the installation gap between the liquid-conducting body 11 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 21d.
[0173] The material of the first sealing member 13 is not limited, for example, silicone, rubber, etc.
[0174] In some embodiments, see Figure 8The first sealing member 13 is provided with a liquid inlet hole 13a, and the liquid inlet hole 13a and the liquid suction surface 11b define a liquid inlet area 10a. That is to say, the first sealing member 13 can be used to seal the installation gap between the liquid guiding body 11 and the groove wall of the installation groove 21d on the one hand, and can be used to define the liquid inlet area 10a with the liquid suction surface 11b on the other hand, that is, different areas can be defined to be connected to the first liquid inlet channel 21a and the second liquid inlet channel 21b respectively, and correspond to different heating units 123.
[0175] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The atomizing seat 20 is provided with a plurality of ventilation channels 20a. Each liquid storage chamber is connected with the atomizing chamber 100d through at least one ventilation channel 20a.
[0176] The atomizer seat 20 is provided with multiple ventilation channels 20a, and each liquid storage chamber is connected to the atomizing chamber 100d through at least one ventilation channel 20a. Each liquid storage chamber can be connected to the atomizing chamber 100d through one ventilation channel 20a or through multiple ventilation channels 20a.
[0177] Specifically, the atomizer seat 20 is provided with a first ventilation channel 20a and a second ventilation channel 20a which are independent of each other. The first ventilation channel 20a communicates with the first liquid storage chamber 100b and the outside, and the second ventilation channel 20a communicates with the second liquid storage chamber 100c and the outside.
[0178] The aerosol-generating matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 100b is guided to the first atomization zone through the first liquid inlet channel 21a for heating and atomization to generate aerosol. After the aerosol-generating matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 100b is consumed, the outside air enters the first liquid storage chamber 100b through the first ventilation channel 20a to balance the pressure in the liquid storage chamber. The aerosol-generating matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 100c is guided to the second atomization zone through the second liquid inlet channel 21b for heating and atomization to generate aerosol. After the aerosol-generating matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 100c is consumed, the outside air enters the second liquid storage chamber 100c through the second ventilation channel 20a to balance the pressure in the liquid storage chamber.
