[0049] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0050] The present application embodiment provides a flavor component 200 for use in an atomization device, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Fig.16As shown, the atomizing device is provided with an air inlet 301, and the flavor component 200 includes a suction nozzle 30 and a flavor chamber 20, and the suction nozzle 30 is provided with a mounting groove 306 and an air outlet channel 304 connected to the outside; the flavor chamber 20 is installed in the mounting groove 306, and the flavor chamber 20 includes at least one sub-flavor chamber 210, and a flavor component 220 is provided in the sub-flavor chamber 210, and the flavor component 220 is configured to volatilize and generate flavor gas, and the air outlet channel 304 is connected to at least one sub-flavor chamber 210, and the flavor component 200 is configured so that when assembled with the atomizing device, the air outlet channel 304 is connected to the air inlet 301. The flavor component 200 generates flavor gas by volatilization of the flavor component, which is mixed with the aerosol formed by the atomizing device and discharged from the air outlet channel 304, so that the user can experience the aerosol with a mixed taste effect, which is conducive to improving the user experience. At the same time, a naturally volatilizable flavor component 220 is disposed in the flavor chamber 20, and the flavor gas is generated by volatilization from the inside or surface of the flavor component 220, and there is no need to set up a complex heating or ultrasonic atomization system, so that the production cost of the flavor component 200 is low and the space occupied is small, which is conducive to improving space utilization, reducing user usage costs, and contributing to the miniaturization of the atomization device, making the atomization device lighter and more convenient.

[0051] In some embodiments, the air inlet 301 is disposed on the bottom wall of the atomizing device away from the nozzle 30, and external air can enter from the bottom of the atomizing device and be discharged from the air outlet channel 304. In some other embodiments, the air inlet 301 can also be disposed at other positions of the atomizing device, for example, the air inlet 301 can be disposed on the side wall of the atomizing device.

[0052] In some embodiments, the flavor element 220 may be solid, and the flavor element 220 includes a first matrix and an additive. The flavor element 220 may be formed into a flavor gel by adding the additive to the first matrix. The flavor gel has a small volume and is easy to change in shape, which can significantly reduce the design size of the flavor chamber 20 and contribute to the miniaturization of the atomization device. Specifically, the material of the first matrix includes gelatin, agar, polyvinyl alcohol or sodium polyacrylate, and the material of the additive includes spices, flavors or essential oils.

[0053] In some embodiments, the flavor element 220 further includes a thickener, which is also called a gelling agent. The thickener can increase the viscosity of the system, so that the system maintains a uniform and stable suspension state or an emulsion state, or forms a gel. Thickeners are mainly divided into two categories: natural and synthetic. Natural thickeners include cassava starch, carrageenan, pectin, guar gum, natural gum, agar powder, xanthan gum, etc. These thickeners are usually extracted from plants and seaweeds and have good biodegradability and safety; synthetic thickeners include carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl methyl cellulose, polyurethane material thickeners, sodium polyacrylate, acrylic emulsion, polymerized ferric sulfate, etc. These thickeners are prepared by chemical synthesis and have high stability and temperature resistance.

[0054] Specifically, the thickener used in the flavor element 220 is a food thickener, and the material of the thickener includes sodium alginate, xanthan gum or carrageenan.

[0055] In some embodiments, the flavor component 220 includes a liquid storage component and a flavoring agent. The liquid storage component includes liquid storage cotton. The flavor component 220 can be formed by adding a flavoring agent to the liquid storage cotton. The flavoring agent includes a volatile alcohol-containing liquid, such as ethanol, isopropanol, etc.; spices, such as vanilla extract, lemon oil, etc.; organic solvents, such as acetone, ethyl acetate, etc. Among them, the alcohol-containing liquid has a lower boiling point, making it easy to evaporate. For example, ethanol (alcohol) is a common volatile alcohol substance, which can evaporate quickly at room temperature and has a certain alcohol flavor. Organic solvents have a lower molecular weight and boiling point. These characteristics make the interaction between molecules weaker and easier to escape from the surface of the liquid, so they are more volatile.

[0056] Specifically, flavoring agents also include surfactants, such as lecithin, sorbitan monoesters, polyoxyethylene (POE) alcohol esters, surfactants derived from plant oils (coconut oil), etc. Surfactants can change the surface tension of the liquid, making it easier for molecules on the surface of the liquid to escape from the interior of the liquid and promote volatilization.

[0057] In some embodiments, the flavor element 220 includes edible volatile flavor substances, which refer to compounds with low boiling points and high vapor pressures, which are easily volatile at normal temperature and pressure, and which significantly contribute to the flavor of food. Edible volatile flavor substances include aldehydes, ketones, esters, alcohols, acids, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, and oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds.

[0058] In some embodiments, the number of sub-flavor chambers 210 is one, and a flavor air passage 202 is provided in the sub-flavor chamber 210. The atomization passage 101 of the atomization device is connected to the air outlet passage 304 through the flavor air passage 202. The user can experience different flavors by replacing the flavor chamber 20. The production cost of the flavor chamber 20 is relatively low, which can reduce the cost of replacing the flavor chamber 20 for the user and reduce the user's use cost.

[0059] In some embodiments, there are multiple sub-flavor chambers 210, for example, the number of sub-flavor chambers 210 may be 2, 4, 5, 7, etc. The suction nozzle 30 may rotate relative to the flavor chamber 20 so that the air outlet channel 304 is connected to one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210. By rotating the suction nozzle 30, different sub-flavor chambers 210 may be switched to be connected to the air outlet channel 304.

[0060] In some embodiments, the flavor elements 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210 have different components, so that different sub-flavor chambers 210 can produce different flavor gases, so that when the gas outlet channel 304 is connected to different sub-flavor chambers 210, the user can experience aerosols with different flavors, thereby improving the user experience. In some other embodiments, the flavor elements 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210 may also have the same components but different concentrations, so that the flavor elements 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210 have different volatilization rates, so that the user can experience aerosols with different flavor intensities.

[0061] In some embodiments, an air guide channel 201 is provided in the flavor chamber 20 , the air outlet channel 304 is connected to the atomization channel 101 through the air guide channel 201 , and a plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 are arranged around the air guide channel 201 .

[0062] Specifically, the number of the sub-flavor chambers 210 may be four, and they are evenly distributed around the air guide channel 201 .

[0063] In some embodiments, an air outlet 305 is provided at one end of the air outlet channel 304 close to the flavor bin 20 , and the length direction of the air outlet 305 extends along the radial direction of the flavor bin 20 . The air outlet 305 is connected to one of the multiple sub-flavor bins 210 and the air outlet 201 .

[0064] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the flavor chamber 20 includes a first seal 230 disposed downstream of the flavor component 200 in the air outlet direction, and the flavor chamber 20 includes a first end 280 disposed near the air outlet channel 304, and the first end 280 is provided with an opening connected to the sub-flavor chamber 210, and the first seal 230 blocks the opening of the first end 280.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first seal 230 is provided with a first through hole 2301 and a plurality of second through holes 2302, the first through hole 2301 is connected to the air guide channel 201, the second through hole 2302 is connected to the sub-flavor bin 210, and the plurality of second through holes 2302 correspond one to one to the plurality of sub-flavor bins 210; the nozzle 30 includes a cover body 330 and a second seal 320, and the second seal 320 is sealed and connected between the first seal 230 and the cover body 330.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second sealing member 320 is provided with an airway selection structure 323, and the airway selection structure 323 is used to respectively connect different second through holes 2302 with the air outlet channel 304 when the first sealing member 230 and the second sealing member 320 rotate relative to each other.

[0067] In some embodiments, the airway selection structure 323 includes an air port 305, which is disposed on a side of the second seal 320 close to the first seal 230, and the air port 305 is used to communicate with at least one second through hole 2302 and the first through hole 2301. When the second seal 320 rotates relative to the first seal 230, the air port 305 is respectively connected to different second through holes 2302.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the air guide port 305 may be connected to a plurality of second through holes 2302 at the same time, so that the flavor gases formed by a plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 may be discharged from the suction nozzle 30 at the same time to provide a richer flavor.

[0069] In some embodiments, the airway selection structure 323 includes a protrusion 321, which is disposed on a side of the second seal 320 close to the first seal 230, and when the second seal 320 rotates relative to the first seal 230, the protrusion 321 can close at least one second through hole 2302. It can be understood that the protrusion 321 closes at least one second through hole 2302 when the second seal 320 rotates relative to the first seal 230 to a certain position, rather than closing the second through hole 2302 when the second seal 320 rotates to any position.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the air guide port 305 is connected to one of the plurality of second through holes 2302 , the protrusion 321 blocks the remaining second through holes 2302 , so that only one of the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 is connected to the air outlet channel 304 .

[0071] In some embodiments, a rib 322 is provided on one side of the second seal 320 close to the first seal 230 . The rib 322 is arranged around the air guide port 305 and abuts against the first seal 230 to ensure a sealed connection between the first seal 230 and the second seal 320 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the suction nozzle 30 can be rotated to a closed position so that all the second through holes 2302 are closed by the second sealing member 320 to reduce the volatilization rate of the flavor member 220 in the flavor chamber 20 during transportation and storage of the flavor component 200.

[0073] In some embodiments, one of the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 may not be provided with a flavor element 220, and the interior is in an empty state, and the mouthpiece 30 may be rotated to a position where the air outlet channel 304 is connected to the hollow sub-flavor chamber 210, so that the aerosol generated by the atomization channel 101 is not mixed with the flavor gas, so that the user can experience the original flavor aerosol. At the same time, during the transportation and storage of the flavor component 200, the other sub-flavor chambers 210 with the flavor element 220 may not be connected to the air outlet channel 304 to reduce the volatilization rate of the flavor element 220.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the flavor chamber 20 includes a second end portion 290 arranged away from the air outlet channel 304, the second end portion 290 is provided with a first sliding portion 291, the side wall of the mounting groove 306 is provided with a second sliding portion 370, the first sliding portion 291 and the second sliding portion 370 are slidably connected, and the first sliding portion 291 and the second sliding portion 370 form a snap fit in the direction of the rotation axis L of the suction nozzle 30.

[0075] Specifically, the first sliding portion 291 is a convex ring provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second end portion 290 and is arranged around the second end portion 290. The mounting groove 306 is formed in the cover body 330. The second sliding portion 370 is a groove extending along the circumferential direction of the cover body 330. The first sliding portion 291 is inserted into the second sliding portion 370. When the suction nozzle 30 rotates relative to the flavor bin 20, the first sliding portion 291 can slide in the second sliding portion 370, but cannot be separated from the second sliding portion 370, so that the flavor bin 20 and the suction nozzle 30 will not separate during the rotation process.

[0076] In some other embodiments, the first sliding portion 291 may be a groove extending along the circumference of the second end portion 290 , and the second sliding portion 370 may be a convex ring provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 306 , and the second sliding portion 370 is inserted into the first sliding portion 291 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 and the nozzle 30 are detachably connected. After the flavor element 220 in the flavor chamber 20 is volatilized and exhausted, a new flavor chamber 20 can be replaced to extend the service life of the flavor assembly 200 and reduce the loss. The user can also experience a richer variety of flavor gases by replacing different flavor chambers 20.

[0078] In some embodiments, the flavor bin 20 and the first sealing member 230 are detachably connected. When the flavor bin 20 and the suction nozzle 30 are separated, the first sealing member 230 can be removed from the flavor bin 20, and the flavor member 220 can be loaded into the sub-flavor bin 210 through the opening of the first end 280. In some embodiments, the opening of the first end 280 can also be used to add flavoring agent to the sub-flavor bin 210.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cover 330 and the flavor bin 20 may be made of plastic or metal material with certain elastic deformation properties, for example, the cover 330 and the flavor bin 20 may be made of polyurethane, ABS plastic, polycarbonate, etc. The cover 330 and the flavor bin 20 may be detachably connected by snap-fitting, and by applying external force to the cover 330 and the flavor bin 20, a slight deformation may occur to the both, so that the first sliding portion 291 may be separated from the second sliding portion 370, thereby separating the flavor bin 20 and the suction nozzle 30.

[0080] In some embodiments, the material of the first sealing member 230 may be elastic rubber or plastic, and specifically, the material of the first sealing member 230 may be silicone.

[0109] In some embodiments, the flavor component 200 and the host 300 are detachably connected by snapping, magnetism, riveting, etc.

[0110] In some implementations, the suction nozzle 30 can be rotated relative to the main body 300 so that the air outlet channel 304 is connected to one of the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 and the liquid storage chamber 10 .

[0115] In some embodiments, Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the atomizer includes a nozzle assembly 400 and a host 300, and the nozzle assembly 400 and the host 300 are detachably connected. The nozzle assembly 400 includes a nozzle 30 and a shielding member 90, and the shielding member 90 is arranged between the nozzle 30 and the liquid storage bin 10.
