Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerosol supply, and more particularly to an aerosol supply device and system. Background Technology

[0002] An aerosol supply system includes an aerosol supply device and an aerosol-generating product (such as a tobacco product). The aerosol-generating product is inserted into the heating chamber of the aerosol supply device, and the aerosol-generating product is heated by the aerosol supply device to obtain aerosol.

[0003] To prevent foreign objects or dust from falling into the heating chamber, a dustproof structure is usually installed on top of the heating chamber. Currently, the dustproof structure mainly adopts a flip-top or sliding type.

[0004] The flip-top structure has a dust cover on the outer casing of the device. The dust cover can be flipped relative to the outer casing to connect or close the top opening of the heating chamber to the outside. However, the dust cover is located on the outside of the device and has many parts, which increases the size and cost of the aerosol supply device.

[0005] The sliding structure has a baffle on the top of the heating chamber. The baffle can be pushed, pulled and moved on the same plane to cover or expose the top opening of the heating chamber. In this method, the baffle is an exposed structure, and dirt can easily accumulate between the baffle and the top surface of the device, making it difficult to push and pull smoothly. In addition, the narrow space at the top of the device can also make it inconvenient for users to operate and affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0093] Consumables are articles comprising or composed of aerosol-generating materials, some or all of which are intended to be consumed by a user during use. Consumables may include one or more other components, such as an aerosol-generating material storage area, an aerosol-generating material delivery component, an aerosol-generating area, a housing, packaging paper, a nozzle, a filter, and / or an aerosol modifier. Consumables may also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which releases heat during use to cause the aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol. The heater may, for example, comprise a combustible material, a material that can be heated by electrical conduction, or a sensor.

[0094] A sensor is a material that can be heated by being penetrated by a changing magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field). A sensor can be a conductive material, such that penetration by a changing magnetic field results in inductive heating of the heating material. A heating material can be a magnetic material, such that penetration by a changing magnetic field results in hysteresis heating of the heating material. A sensor can be both conductive and magnetic, allowing it to be heated by both heating mechanisms. In this paper, a device constructed to generate a changing magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic field generator.

[0095] Aerosol modifiers are substances typically located downstream of the aerosol generation region, configured to modify the generated aerosols, for example, by altering their taste, flavor, acidity, or other properties. Aerosol modifiers can be disposed in aerosol modifier release components operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, aerosol modifiers can be additives or adsorbents. For example, aerosol modifiers may include one or more of fragrances, colorants, water, and carbon adsorbents. For example, aerosol modifiers can be solid, liquid, or gel. Aerosol modifiers can be in powder, filament, or granular form. Aerosol modifiers may not contain filter material.

[0096] An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause the generation of aerosols from an aerosol-generating material. In some embodiments, an aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to heat energy in order to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol-generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, an aerosol generator is configured to cause the generation of aerosols from an aerosol-generating material without heating. For example, an aerosol generator may be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0097] This disclosure relates to aerosol supply systems (which may also be referred to as vapor supply systems), such as aerosol sprayers or electronic cigarettes. In the following description, the terms "electronic cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term is used interchangeably with aerosol supply systems / devices and electronic aerosol supply systems / devices. Furthermore, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor," as well as related terms such as "evaporation," "atomization," and "aerosolization," are generally used interchangeably.

[0098] Aerosol supply systems (electronic cigarettes) typically (though not always) comprise modular components, including reusable device parts and replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge components. Typically, the replaceable cartridge component will include aerosol generating material and an vaporizer (which may be collectively referred to as an "atomizer"), and the reusable device part will include a power source (e.g., a rechargeable power source) and control circuitry. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional components depending on their function. For example, the reusable device part will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operational status characteristics, and the replaceable cartridge device part may include, in some cases, a temperature sensor to aid in temperature control. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit for use, for example, using threads, bayonet connections, or magnetic connections with suitably arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol generating material in the cartridge is depleted, or when the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge with a different aerosol generating material, the cartridge can be removed from the reusable part, and a replacement cartridge can be attached to its appropriate position. Systems and devices that conform to this type of two-piece modular configuration can generally be referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0099] Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. For the sake of specific examples, some embodiments of this disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system employing a disposable cartridge. However, it will be understood that the basic principles described herein can be equally applied to different constructions, such as single-piece systems or modular systems comprising more than two components, refillable devices and single-use disposable items, as well as other overall shapes, such as high-performance devices based on so-called box-shaped patterns that are typically box-shaped. More generally, it will be understood that some embodiments of this disclosure are based on an aerosol delivery system operationally configured to provide the functionality according to the principles described herein, and the construction aspects of the system configured to provide the functionality according to some embodiments of this disclosure are not of primary importance.

[0100] As described in the background section, existing aerosol supply devices, while equipped with dustproof structures, still suffer from problems such as large size, inconvenient operation, and easy accumulation of dirt within the dustproof structure itself. To improve this situation, this disclosure provides an aerosol supply device and system that solves the technical problems of easy dirt accumulation, inconvenient operation, and large size of the dustproof structure by redesigning it.

[0101] The structure of the aerosol supply device and aerosol supply system of the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0102] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of the aerosol supply device is shown in the diagram. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerosol supply device includes a device body 100 and a sliding assembly 200. The device body 100 has a hole and a channel 105. The hole penetrates the end face of the device body 100, and the channel 105 extends from the side wall of the device body 100 to the hole. The sliding assembly 200 includes a slide key 201 and a flexible sheet 202. The flexible sheet 202 is housed within the channel 105. The slide key 201 connects to the flexible sheet 202 and is configured to slide along the side wall of the device body 100 to cause the flexible sheet 202 to cover or expose the hole.

[0103] The aerosol supply device can heat a solid or liquid atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The solid atomizing matrix can be, for example, an aerosol generating product, and the liquid atomizing matrix can be, for example, an aerosol generating agent.

[0104] When the aerosol supply device is configured to heat a solid atomized matrix, the device body 100 includes a housing 101, a heating module 102, and a power supply module 103. The housing 101 includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section. The heating module 102 is disposed in the first pipe section and includes a heating chamber 113 for receiving the aerosol-generated product and a heating element 114 for heating the aerosol-generated product in the heating chamber 113. The power supply module 103 is disposed in the second pipe section and includes a battery assembly electrically connected to the heating element 114. The housing 101 has a receiving hole 104 communicating with the heating chamber 113 and a charging port 116 electrically connected to the battery assembly. The hole on the device body 100 is configured as either the receiving hole 104 or the charging port 116.

[0105] When the aerosol supply device is configured to heat a liquid atomized matrix, the main body of the device includes a housing and a heating module and a power supply module disposed within the housing. The heating module includes a receiving cavity, a nozzle, and a heating element. The power supply module includes a battery assembly electrically connected to the heating element. The housing has a through-hole communicating with the receiving cavity and a charging port electrically connected to the battery assembly. The nozzle extends out of or retracts into the receiving cavity through the through-hole. The hole on the main body of the device is configured as either the through-hole or the charging port.

[0106] The aerosol supply device in this embodiment includes an opening and a channel. The channel extends from the side wall of the device body to the opening, and a flexible sheet is installed within the channel. The flexible sheet is connected to a sliding key located on the side wall of the device. By operating the sliding key, the flexible sheet can be moved within the channel, thereby concealing or exposing the opening. By embedding the flexible sheet internally, the device size is reduced, avoiding the problem of dirt accumulation caused by exposed structures, and ensuring smooth operation even after prolonged and repeated use. Positioning the sliding key on the side wall of the device provides a more spacious operating area, allowing the user to move the sliding key with their thumb while holding the device, making operation more convenient and effortless. Furthermore, the internal flexible sheet design of this embodiment reduces exposed components, making the device more aesthetically pleasing.

[0107] The following description uses the receiving hole 104 as an example to illustrate the structure of the sliding component 200 and the device body 100 adapted to the sliding component 200.

[0108] Figure 3 This diagram shows a schematic of the aerosol supply device with the receiving port 104 exposed. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the aerosol supply device with the receiving port 104 in a shielded state is shown. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 The channel 105 includes a first segment 106, a transition segment 107, and a second segment 108 arranged sequentially. The first segment 106 is arranged along the length direction of the device body 100, and the second segment 108 is arranged along the width direction of the device body 100 and connects to the receiving hole 104. The transition segment 107 connects the first segment 106 and the second segment 108. The transition segment 107 is configured to guide the flexible sheet 202 to switch the movement direction.

[0109] The flexible sheet 202 can be a single piece, or it can be assembled from two or more pieces. The material of the flexible sheet 202 can be plastic, metal, or other flexible materials, and its thickness should be relatively thin, ranging from 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the flexible sheet 202 can be 0.03 mm. The material of the slide key 201 can be plastic, metal, wood, or other materials. The method of fixing the flexible sheet 202 and the slide key 201 can be riveting, welding, gluing, or other fixing methods. During the movement of the flexible sheet 202 driven by the slide key 201, the flexible sheet 202 can deform under the constraint of the channel 105 and engage with the wall of the channel 105 through frictional contact.

[0110] The transition section 107 includes a guide surface, which may be curved or flat, and the flat surface forms an acute angle with the length direction of the device body 100. The flexible sheet 202 moves closely against the guide surface in the transition section 107. The guide surface constrains the movement direction of the flexible sheet 202, thereby changing the movement direction of the flexible sheet 202. In a specific implementation, the guide surface may be constructed as an inner chamfer between the first section 106 and the second section 108.

[0111] A first groove 109 is formed on the side wall of the outer casing 101. The first groove 109 is arranged along the length direction of the device body 100, and in the width direction of the device body 100, the first groove 109 partially overlaps with the channel 105. The flexible sheet 202 is accommodated in the channel 105. One side of the slide key 201 is connected to the flexible sheet 202, and the other side extends out of the first groove 109 and is exposed outside the outer casing 101. The slide key 201 can move along the first groove 109. Moving the slide key 201 toward the upper part of the device body 100 can drive the flexible sheet 202 to approach and cover the receiving hole 104, and moving the slide key 201 toward the lower part of the device body 100 can drive the flexible sheet 202 away and expose the receiving hole 104. Figure 3 As shown, when the slide key 201 is at the lower part of the first slide groove 109, the flexible sheet 202 does not block the receiving hole 104, as... Figure 4 As shown, when the slide key 201 is at the upper part of the first slide groove 109, the flexible sheet 202 blocks the receiving hole 104.

[0112] Figures 5-9 One structure of the sliding component 200 is shown; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 5-9The sliding assembly 200 includes a flexible sheet 202, a slide key 201, and a slide base 203. The inner surface of the slide base 203 at least partially forms the sidewall of the channel 105, and the outer surface of the slide base 203 is opposite to the first sliding groove 109. The slide base 203 is provided with a through hole 210 penetrating the inner and outer surfaces. The flexible sheet 202 includes a connecting portion 207 and a blocking portion 208. The slide key 201 includes an operating end 205 and a connecting end 206. The connecting end 206 of the slide key 201 passes through the through hole 210 and is connected to the connecting portion 207 of the flexible sheet 202. The operating end 205 of the slide key 201 is at least partially exposed on the outer sidewall of the device body 100. The blocking portion 208 of the flexible sheet 202 is used to block the receiving hole 104.

[0113] The flexible sheet 202 has a length greater than the diameter of the receiving hole 104 and less than or equal to the length of the channel 105. This ensures that the flexible sheet 202 can completely cover the receiving hole 104 when moving towards the top of the device body 100 and can completely exit the receiving hole 104 when moving towards the bottom of the device body 100. Furthermore, the length of the flexible sheet 202 is also greater than the sum of the diameter of the receiving hole 104 and the lengths of the second section 108 and the transition section 107 of the channel 105. This allows the connecting portion 207 of the flexible sheet 202 to extend into the side of the housing 101, facilitating user control of the flexible sheet 202's movement from the side of the device. During the movement of the flexible sheet 202 controlled by the slide key 201, the travel of the slide key 201 is limited by the first slide groove 109. Therefore, the length of the first slide groove 109 is set to be greater than or equal to the diameter of the receiving hole 104, ensuring that the travel of the flexible sheet 202 is not less than the diameter of the receiving hole 104, thus ensuring that the flexible sheet 202 can completely cover the receiving hole 104. Preferably, the length of the flexible sheet 202 is equal to the length of the channel 105, and the diameter of the receiving hole 104 is equal to the length of the first groove 109.

[0114] In one possible implementation, the main body 100 of the device is further provided with a second slide groove 110, and the sliding assembly 200 also includes a slide groove blocking member 204 provided in the second slide groove 110. The slide groove blocking member 204 is fixedly connected to the slide key 201 and can move along the second slide groove 110 under the drive of the slide key 201 to block the first slide groove 109.

[0115] See Figure 4The second slide groove 110 is located between the outer side of the slide block 203 and the inner sidewall of the outer casing 101. The length directions of the first slide groove 109, the second slide groove 110, and the slide groove blocking member 204 are parallel to the length direction of the device body 100. The width of the slide groove blocking member 204 is greater than or equal to the width of the first slide groove 109, and the length of the slide groove blocking member 204 is greater than or equal to the length of the first slide groove 109. The length of the second slide groove 110 is greater than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the slide groove blocking member 204 and the first slide groove 109. This ensures that the slide groove blocking member 204 always blocks the first slide groove 109 during the movement of the slide key 201, preventing dirt from entering the device body 100 from the first slide groove 109 and increasing the aesthetics of the device.

[0116] In one possible implementation, the flexible sheet 202 is set close to the slide block 203. During the process of the slide key 201 driving the flexible sheet 202 to move, the flexible sheet 202 and the slide block 203 are in frictional engagement, so that the slide key 201 can stay at any position of the first slide groove 109.

[0117] In one possible implementation, the inner surface of the slide block 203 is provided with a first groove 209, and the connecting portion 207 of the flexible sheet 202 is embedded in the first groove 209. Alternatively, the connecting portion 207 of the flexible sheet 202 is also provided with a pad 212, which is at least partially embedded in the first groove 209 and frictionally engages with the first groove 209. By setting the flexible sheet 202 to directly or indirectly engage with the slide block 203, the frictional force between the flexible sheet 202 and the slide block 203 during movement can be increased, allowing the slide key 201 to stop at any position in the first slide groove 109.

[0118] like Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of the slide block 203 is provided with a second groove 211, and the slide block 204 is at least partially embedded in the second groove 211. The second groove 211 serves to guide the movement of the slide block 204. Alternatively, the slide block 204 can be configured to engage with the second groove 211 through friction, which facilitates the slide key 201 and the flexible sheet 202 stopping at any position when moving along the first slide groove 109. Appropriately increasing the resistance can also improve the user's feel when operating the slide key 201.

[0119] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The heating module 102 includes a bracket 111 and an extractor 112, which is detachably connected to the bracket 111. A sliding assembly 200 is disposed between the extractor 112, the bracket 111, and the outer shell 101. The inner side of the slide block 203 forms the channel 105 with the bracket 111, and the outer side of the slide block 203 forms the second sliding groove 110 with the outer shell 101. A first sliding groove 109 is disposed on the outer shell 101. The bracket 111 defines a heating chamber 113, in which the extractor 112 is disposed. The outer shell 101 includes an extractor housing 117, a receiving hole 104 is disposed on the extractor housing 117 and communicates with the top of the heating chamber 113, and a limiting groove 118 is also provided on the extractor housing 117 around the receiving hole 104, with the channel 105 communicating with the limiting groove 118. The extractor 112 is connected to the extractor housing 117, and the two can be separated from the heating chamber 113 as a whole. The limiting groove 118 and the second segment 108 of the channel 105 are contained in the same cross-section of the device body 100. The area of ​​the limiting groove 118 adjacent to the channel 105 is chamfered, or the area of ​​the bracket 111 adjacent to the limiting groove 118 is chamfered, or both the area of ​​the limiting groove 118 adjacent to the channel 105 and the area of ​​the bracket 111 adjacent to the limiting groove 118 are chamfered.

[0120] The user holds the aerosol supply device and pushes the slide key 201 toward the receiving hole 104. The slide key 201 drives the flexible sheet 202 along the channel 105 into the limiting groove 118 to block the receiving hole 104. Figure 4 As shown; by pushing the slide key 201 in a direction away from the receiving hole 104, the slide key 201 will cause the flexible sheet 202 to exit the limiting groove 118, thereby exposing the receiving hole 104, as shown. Figure 3 As shown.

[0121] Figure 10 Another structure of the sliding component 200 is shown; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 10 The sliding assembly 200 includes a flexible sheet 202, a slide key 201, and a groove blocking member 204. The connecting end 206 of the slide key 201 is connected to the connecting portion 207 of the flexible sheet 202. The operating end 205 of the slide key 201 passes through the groove blocking member 204, and the operating end 205 of the slide key 201 is exposed outside the device body 100 for user operation. The flexible sheet 202 is disposed within the channel 105 and can move along the channel 105 to cover or expose the hole. The groove blocking member 204 is used to cover the first groove 109. Figure 5-9 Compared to the structure of the sliding component 200 shown, this structure eliminates the slide block 203, which can further reduce the size of the device.

[0122] Figure 11 Another structure of the sliding component 200 is shown; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 11 The sliding assembly 200 includes a flexible sheet 202 and a slide key 201.

The operating end 205 of the slide key 201 is exposed outside the device body 100 for user operation. The flexible sheet 202 is disposed within the channel 105 and can move along the channel 105. The shielding portion 208 of the flexible sheet 202 is used to shield the hole. Figure 10 Compared to the structure of the sliding component 200 shown, this structure eliminates the slide rail cover 204, which can further reduce the size of the device and reduce costs.
