Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerosol supply, and in particular, to an aerosol supply system. Background Art

[0002] For aerosol supply systems such as electronic cigarettes, which heat but do not burn the aerosol-forming matrix (such as tobacco) in the aerosol-generating material, generally, devices such as heaters are used to heat the aerosol-generating material to a sufficiently high temperature for generating an aerosol for the user to inhale. Aerosol supply systems usually use a battery to supply electrical energy to the heater. However, as is well known, the random disposal of waste batteries will not only cause serious pollution to the environment but also seriously endanger human health. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle the batteries of the aerosol supply system after use.

[0003] For the structure of the existing aerosol supply system, for a reusable aerosol supply system, although the cartridge can be separated from the stem, most products cannot directly disassemble the battery from the stem for recycling. For a disposable aerosol supply system, it is even more difficult to separate the battery from the system. Therefore, after the aerosol supply system is used, its recycling will be a time-consuming and laborious task.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a new-structured aerosol supply system to solve one or more of the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, the present invention proposes an aerosol supply system to solve the technical problem of how to quickly and conveniently disassemble the battery from the used aerosol supply system for recycling the battery and preventing environmental pollution.

[0092] A consumable is an article that comprises or consists of an aerosol - forming material, with part or all of the aerosol - forming material being intended to be consumed by a user during use. The consumable can include one or more other components, such as an aerosol - forming material storage area, an aerosol - forming material delivery component, an aerosol - forming area, a housing, a wrapper, a mouthpiece, a filter, and / or an aerosol modifier. The consumable can also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which releases heat during use to cause the aerosol - forming material to form an aerosol. The heater can, for example, comprise a combustible material, a material that can be heated by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

[0093] A susceptor is a material that can be heated by penetration with a varying magnetic field (such as an alternating magnetic field). The susceptor can be a conductive material such that its penetration by the varying magnetic field causes inductive heating of the material. The heating material can be a magnetic material such that its penetration by the varying magnetic field causes hysteresis heating of the material. The susceptor can be both conductive and magnetic such that the susceptor can be heated by both heating mechanisms. In this document, a device configured to generate a varying magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic - field generator.

[0094] An aerosol modifier is a substance that is typically located downstream of the aerosol - forming area and is configured to modify the generated aerosol, for example, by changing the taste, flavor, acidity, or another property of the aerosol. The aerosol modifier can be provided in an aerosol - modifier release component that is operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, the aerosol modifier can be an additive or an adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier can include one or more of a flavoring, a coloring agent, water, and a carbon adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier can be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol modifier can be in the form of a powder, a wire, or a granule. The aerosol modifier can be free of filter material.

[0095] An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause an aerosol to be formed from an aerosol - forming material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater that is configured to subject the aerosol - forming material to thermal energy in order to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol - forming material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be formed from the aerosol - forming material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator can be configured to subject the aerosol - forming material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0096] The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems (which may also be referred to as vapor delivery systems), such as atomizers or electronic cigarettes. In the following description, the term "electronic cigarette" or "e-cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term may be used interchangeably with aerosol delivery systems / devices and electronic aerosol delivery systems / devices. Additionally, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor" and related terms such as "evaporation", "atomization", and "aerosolization" are generally used interchangeably.

[0097] Aerosol delivery systems (e-cigarettes) typically (although not always) include modular components, which include a reusable device portion and a replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge component. Generally, the replaceable cartridge component will include aerosol-generating material and an evaporator (which may be collectively referred to as a "atomizer coil"), and the reusable device portion will include a power source (e.g., a rechargeable power source) and control circuitry. It will be understood that these different portions may include additional elements depending on their function. For example, the reusable device portion will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status characteristics, and the replaceable cartridge device portion includes a temperature sensor for assisting in controlling the temperature in some cases. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically coupled to the control unit for use, for example, using threads, bayonet, or magnetic coupling with appropriately arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol-generating material in the cartridge is depleted, or the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge with a different aerosol-generating material, the cartridge can be removed from the reusable component, and a replacement cartridge is attached in its place. Systems and devices that conform to this type of two-piece modular configuration are generally referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0098] Electronic cigarettes generally have a generally elongated shape. To provide a specific example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system that employs a disposable cartridge. However, it will be understood that the basic principles described herein can equally apply to different configurations, such as single-piece systems or modular systems that include more than two components, refillable devices and single-use disposables, and other overall shapes, such as so-called pod-mode high-performance devices that are generally box-shaped. More generally, it will be understood that certain embodiments of the present disclosure are based on aerosol delivery systems that are operationally configured to provide functions in accordance with the principles described herein, and the construction aspects of systems configured to provide the functions of certain embodiments of the present disclosure are not of primary importance.

[0099] As described in the background art, the structure of the existing aerosol supply system cannot directly disassemble the battery from the cigarette rod for recycling, or it takes a lot of time and manpower to separate the battery from the system. Therefore, the recycling process after the use of the aerosol supply system becomes a time-consuming and laborious task. Based on this, the present application proposes a new structure of the aerosol supply system, which can quickly and conveniently disassemble the battery holder for fixing the battery assembly from the housing, facilitating the subsequent recycling process of the battery assembly.

[0100] It should be noted that the aerosol supply system in the embodiments of the present application can be a cartridge-type aerosol supply system or a pen-type aerosol supply system. The present application does not make specific limitations in this regard. The detachable structure of the aerosol supply system will be described in detail below.

[0101] The solution of the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

[0102] Embodiment 1

[0103] Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the aerosol supply system provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the aerosol supply system provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is a schematic view of a part of the structure of the aerosol supply system provided by the embodiment of the present application exploded. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 shown, taking the pen-type aerosol supply system as an example, it generally includes a housing 100, a battery holder 200, a bottom cover 300, a mouthpiece 400, a liquid storage chamber 500, an atomization core 600, and a battery assembly 700. Among them, an accommodation space and an air passage (not shown in the figure) are formed inside the housing 100. Part of the accommodation space constitutes a battery accommodation chamber (not shown in the figure). The battery assembly 700 is disposed in the battery accommodation chamber. Components such as the liquid storage chamber 500 and the atomization core 600 are disposed or at least partially disposed in the remaining space of the accommodation space except the battery accommodation chamber. The battery holder 200 is mainly used to fix the battery assembly 700, and it is disposed in the battery accommodation chamber together with the battery assembly 700. The bottom cover 300 is fixedly connected to the battery holder 200, and the bottom cover 300 and the battery holder 200 are detachably connected to the housing 100, so that the bottom cover 300 and the battery holder 200 can be quickly and conveniently disassembled from the housing 100, facilitating the subsequent recycling process of the battery assembly 700.

[0104] It should be noted here that in the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure and material of the battery bracket 200 are not limited, as long as it can achieve the function of fixing the battery module. Specifically, in implementation, the battery bracket can be set according to the actual product requirements. As an illustrative rather than restrictive description, the battery bracket in the embodiments of the present application can be a cylindrical structure, and a space for accommodating the battery cells is formed inside the cylindrical structure. The battery bracket can also be a frame structure, and the battery cells are fixed in the frame. The battery bracket can also be a structural member provided at the bottom of the battery cells, and the battery cells can be connected to the bottom cover through the structural member. Further refer to Figure 3 As shown, as an illustrative rather than restrictive description, the battery bracket 200 in the embodiments of the present application is in a cylindrical structure.

[0105] It can be understood that the battery module 700 and the battery bracket 200 in the embodiments of the present application can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. That is, when the battery bracket 200 and the bottom cover 300 are detached from the outer shell 100, the battery module 700 can be detached together with the battery bracket 200, or after the battery bracket 200 and the bottom cover 300 are detached, the battery module is detached. No specific limitation is made here, and it can be selected according to the product requirements in actual application.

[0106] As a preferred implementation manner, in the embodiments of the present application, the bottom cover 300 and the battery bracket 200 can be connected to the outer shell 100 through the connection assembly 800. Specifically, when implemented, the connection assembly includes a first connection member 810a and a second connection member 820a that cooperate with each other. The first connection member 810a is provided on the outer shell 100, and the second connection member 820a is provided on the bottom cover 300 or the battery bracket 200. The first connection member 810a and the second connection member 820a are detachably connected, so as to achieve the detachable connection between the bottom cover 300 and the battery bracket 200 and the outer shell 100.

[0107] As a preferred implementation manner, in the embodiments of the present application, the first connection member 810a and the second connection member 820a are connected by a snap connection. Specifically, when implemented, one of the first connection member 810a and the second connection member 820a can be a connection buckle, and the other is a connection hole that cooperates with the connection buckle. That is, the first connection member 810a is the connection buckle and the second connection member 820a is the connection hole, or the first connection member 810a is the connection hole and the second connection member 820a is the connection buckle. It can be understood that in order to achieve the snap connection between the first connection member 810a and the second connection member 820a, the connection buckle can be an elastic member, or the part of the outer shell, the bottom cover or the battery bracket connected to the connection buckle (i.e., the connection hole part) is an elastic member, or both the connection buckle and the connection hole are elastic members, so as to enable the detachable connection between the connection buckle and the connection hole.

[0108] Further referring to Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting member 810a is a connecting hole, and the second connecting member 820a is a connecting buckle. The connecting hole is arranged at one end of the outer shell 100 close to the bottom cover 300, and the connecting hole is arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer shell 100 and extends along the transverse direction of the outer shell on the outer shell 100. The connecting buckle is arranged on the bottom cover 300 and is arranged along the circumferential direction of the bottom cover 300. Specifically, in implementation, the connecting buckle is a protrusion extending away from the bottom cover along the circumferential surface of the bottom cover 300.

[0109] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the connecting buckle is an elastic member. When the bottom cover 300 and the outer shell 100 are in a connected state, the connecting buckle is snapped into the connecting hole; when it is necessary to disassemble the battery assembly 700 from the outer shell, the connecting buckle can be directly pressed, and the connecting buckle deforms due to the pressure and falls off from the connecting hole, so that the bottom cover 300 falls off from the outer shell 100. In this way, the battery assembly can be disassembled quickly and conveniently.

[0110] As a preferred implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first connecting member 810a and the second connecting member 820a is equal and both may include a plurality. The plurality of first connecting members 810a are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer shell 100, and the plurality of second connecting members 820a are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the bottom cover 300. And the position of each first connecting member 810a on the outer shell 100 corresponds to the position of one of the second connecting members 820a on the bottom cover 300, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0111] It should be noted here that in the embodiment of the present application, the specific shapes and the specific numbers of the connecting buckle and the connecting hole are not limited, as long as they are adapted to each other. Any known shape can be used as the shape of the connecting buckle or the connecting hole in the embodiment of the present application without departing from the inventive concept of the present application. For example, the connecting buckle or the connecting hole can be any one of a circle, a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, a trapezoid, a triangle, and a polygon. The polygon includes but is not limited to an equilateral or non-equilateral pentagon, hexagon, octagon, etc., which will not be listed here. The number of the connecting buckle and the connecting hole can be set according to the actual needs of the product. As an exemplary rather than restrictive illustration, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the connecting buckle and the connecting hole includes 2, and the 2 connecting buckles and the connecting holes are arranged opposite to each other on the outer shell 100 and the bottom cover 300 respectively.

[0112] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of the liquid storage chamber provided by Embodiment 1 of the present application. Referring to Figure 4As shown, a liquid storage cavity 510 is formed inside the liquid storage chamber 500. The liquid storage cavity 510 is used to accommodate aerosol generating materials, such as e-liquid. An atomization cavity 610 for accommodating a heater assembly is formed inside the atomization core 600. The atomization cavity 610 is in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity 510 so that the aerosol generating material in the liquid storage cavity 510 can enter the atomization cavity 510 and form aerosol after being heated by the heater assembly. As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the liquid storage chamber 500 includes an outer wall 520. The outer wall 520 of the liquid storage chamber 500 and the housing 100 can be integrally formed, that is, the outer wall 520 forms a part of the housing 100, or the outer wall 520 and the housing 100 can be two independent components. In a specific embodiment, the outer wall 520 and the housing 100 are two independent components. The outer wall 520 covers the outside of the atomization core 600, and the liquid storage cavity 510 is jointly enclosed by the outer wall 520 and a part of the surface of the atomization core 600. Thus, along the height direction of the aerosol supply system, the liquid storage cavity 510 is located above the atomization core 600 and the atomization cavity 610.

[0113] It can be understood that the aerosol supply system in the embodiment of the present application further includes an air inlet 900. The air inlet 900 connects the airway (not shown in the figure) with the external atmosphere of the aerosol supply system. The atomization cavity 610 is in fluid communication with the air inlet 900 and the outlet of the mouthpiece 400 through the airway so that the aerosol can be sucked by the user from the outlet of the mouthpiece 400.

[0114] Figure 5 An exploded view of the atomization core provided by the embodiment of the present application, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the atomization core includes a heater, an atomization cavity for accommodating the heater, a first bracket 620 and a second bracket 650 for fixing the heater, and an airway silicone member 630. Both the heater and the airway silicone member 630 are clamped between the first bracket 620 and the second bracket 650. Among them, the heater includes a stacked heating body 641 and an oil guiding body 642. The heating body 641 is located between the oil guiding body 642 and the airway. As an exemplary but non-limiting illustration, the heating body 641 has a mesh structure, and the mesh holes of the mesh structure are any one of circular or polygonal. The heating body 641 has an atomization surface, and the atomization surface of the heating body 641 is parallel to the length direction of the system. The oil guiding rate of the oil guiding body 642 on the side close to the heating body 641 is lower than that on the side far from the heating body 641, and the oil absorption rate of the oil guiding body 642 on the side close to the heating body 641 is higher than that on the side far from the heating body 641. Thus, the oil guiding rate of the part of the oil guiding body 642 close to the heating body 641 is higher, improving its oil guiding efficiency, while the oil absorption rate of the part far from the heating body 641 is higher, increasing the oil absorption amount at the heating body 641. Multiple grooves are provided on the surface of the airway silicone member 630 to collect the condensate formed after aerosol condensation in the atomization cavity and prevent the condensate from leaking.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific composition of the battery assembly 700 is not limited. Any known battery assembly can be used in the present application without departing from the inventive concept of the present application. Exemplarily, the battery assembly 700 may include a battery cell and components such as a control circuit board electrically connected to the battery cell, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0116] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific composition and material of the nozzle member 400 are also not limited. Any known nozzle member can be used in the present application without departing from the inventive concept of the present application. Exemplarily, the nozzle member 400 can be made of silica gel, or can be composed of a cotton core and a waterproof layer covering the outside of the cotton core, which will not be enumerated here one by one.

[0117] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiments of the present application, the aerosol system further includes a packaging material 1000 and a cover 1100. The packaging material 1000 covers the outside of the housing 100 and the liquid storage chamber 500, and the cover 1100 is sleeved on the outside of the bottom cover 300. When it is necessary to remove the battery assembly 700 from the housing 100, the cover 1100 can be removed first, then the packaging material covering the outside of the housing 100 and the liquid storage chamber 500 is removed, and then the second connecting member 820a is pressed to make it fall off from the first connecting member 810a, so that the bottom cover 300 falls off from the housing 100.

[0118] Embodiment Two

[0119] The difference from Embodiment One is that the structure of the connecting component in the embodiments of the present application is different from that of the connecting component in Embodiment One, and the shape of the nozzle member in the embodiments of the present application is also different from that of the nozzle member in Embodiment One. The structures of the remaining components are the same as those in Embodiment One. The relevant content can be referred to the corresponding content in the part of Embodiment One, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0120] Referring to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the housing 100 in the embodiments of the present application includes a structural member 110, and the structural member 110 is embedded at one end of the housing 100 close to the bottom cover 300. The connecting component 800 includes a first connecting component 810b and a second connecting component 820b. Specifically, during implementation, the first connecting member 810b is disposed at one end of the structural member 110 close to the bottom cover 300, and the second connecting member 820b is disposed on the bottom cover 300 or the battery bracket 200.

[0121] Further referring to Figure 8As shown in the figure, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting member 810b and the second connecting member 820b are connected by a snap connection. Among them, the second connecting member 820b is arranged on the bottom cover 300. Specifically, in implementation, the first connecting member 810b is a limiting groove formed at one end of the structural member 110 close to the bottom cover 300, and the second connecting member 820b is a guiding block arranged on the bottom cover 300 or the battery bracket 200. The guiding block can move along the limiting groove. In the state where the outer shell 100 is connected to the bottom cover 300, the guiding block is snapped into the limiting groove. Exemplarily, the second connecting member 820b is a guiding block arranged on the bottom cover 300.

[0122] In order to prevent the guiding block from falling off the limiting groove, in a specific embodiment, the guiding block can be set as an elastic member and arranged in the width direction of the limiting groove. The width of the guiding block is greater than the groove width of the limiting groove, so that the guiding block can be arranged in the limiting groove to prevent the guiding block from falling off the limiting groove.

[0123] In another specific embodiment, a friction member can be arranged between the limiting groove and the guiding block to increase the friction force between the limiting groove and the guiding block and prevent the guiding block from falling off the limiting groove. Specifically, the friction member can be a silica gel member arranged between the limiting groove and the guiding block, or a rough surface arranged on the side wall of the limiting groove, etc. There is no specific limitation here as long as it can achieve the purpose of increasing the friction force between the limiting groove and the guiding block.

[0124] Referring to Figure 9 As shown in the figure, there is a passing groove 120 on the inner wall of one end of the structural member 110 close to the bottom cover 300. One end of the passing groove 120 is communicated with the outside of the structural member 110, and the other end is communicated with the limiting groove. The guiding block can enter the limiting groove through the passing groove 120. In the state where the outer shell 100 is connected to the bottom cover 300, the guiding block is snapped at one end of the limiting groove far from the passing groove to prevent the guiding block from falling off the limiting groove. It can be understood that the passing groove 120 can be a blind hole or a through hole, and there is no specific limitation here.

[0125] Further referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, as a preferred implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the connecting assembly 800 further includes at least one limiting member 830b. The limiting member 830b is arranged at one end of the limiting groove far from the passing groove 120 and on any side wall of the limiting groove. Specifically, in implementation, the limiting member 830b is formed by extending from one side wall of the limiting groove towards the other side wall. Preferably, the limiting member 830b is formed by extending from the side wall of the limiting groove close to the bottom cover 300 towards the other side wall. The limiting member 830b can be an independent component connected in the limiting groove or integrally formed with the limiting groove. There is no specific limitation here.

[0126] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiments of the present application, at least one of the guiding block or the limiting member 830b is an elastic member, and the distance between the limiting member 830b and the side wall of the limiting groove facing it is smaller than the size of the guiding block in the width direction of the limiting groove. By setting the guiding block or the limiting member as an elastic member and defining that the distance between the limiting member and the side wall of the limiting groove facing it is smaller than the size of the guiding block in the width direction of the limiting groove, on the one hand, it is convenient for the guiding block to pass through the gap between the limiting member and the limiting groove, and on the other hand, the guiding block can be limited in the limiting groove by the limiting member to prevent the guiding block from falling off the limiting groove.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific shape of the limiting groove is not limited, and can be selected according to the actual needs of the product during specific implementation. In a specific embodiment, the limiting groove may be composed of multiple mutually connected groove bodies, and the multiple groove bodies are arranged at an angle, which is convenient for limiting the guiding block in one of the groove bodies to prevent the guiding block from falling off. In another specific embodiment, the limiting groove may be a spiral groove or an arc groove, and the spiral groove or the arc groove is arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer shell 100 on the outer shell, so that the guiding block can be rotated to the end of the spiral groove or the arc groove away from the passing groove for limitation.
