Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizing host, an aerosol generating device, and a control method. Background Technology

[0002] An aerosol generator is an electronic atomization device that heats and atomizes e-liquid to produce an aerosol. Specifically, an aerosol generator generally consists of a main unit and an atomizer. The main unit connects to the atomizer, providing electrical power to heat the coil in the atomizer, which in turn atomizes the e-liquid in the atomizer's tank, producing an aerosol for the user to inhale. Because different flavored e-liquids can be added to the tank, the flavor of the aerosol will also vary.

[0003] However, the aerosol generating devices in the relevant technologies can only produce aerosols that correspond to the flavor of the e-liquid, and cannot customize aerosols with different flavors according to personal preferences, resulting in insufficient playability of the aerosol generating devices. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Another embodiment of this application provides an aerosol generating apparatus, including:

[0026] The aforementioned atomizing host;

[0027] Multiple atomizing components are provided, each atomizing component including an atomizing shell and an atomizing core. The atomizing shell has an airflow channel and a liquid storage chamber. The atomizing core is disposed within the atomizing shell and is in fluid communication with the airflow channel and the liquid storage chamber, respectively. The multiple atomizing components are disposed within a receiving cavity. The airflow channel of each atomizing component is in communication with the suction channel and in fluid communication with the airflow sensor.

[0051] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0052] This application provides an aerosol generating device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The aerosol generating device includes an atomizing host 10 and multiple atomizing components 20.

[0053] The aerosol generating device is used to generate aerosols for users to inhale or for use in medicine, beauty, etc. The atomizing host 10 is used in conjunction with multiple atomizing components 20 each having an airflow channel 21a to provide power to the multiple atomizing components 20 and control the operating status of the multiple atomizing components 20.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The atomizing host 10 in this application embodiment includes a housing assembly 11, a mouthpiece assembly 13, an airflow sensor 12, and a control assembly 14.

[0055] The housing assembly 11 has a receiving cavity 11a for accommodating a plurality of atomizing components 20, and one end of the receiving cavity 11a has an opening 11a1.

[0056] The receiving cavity 11a is used to accommodate the atomizing component 20. The opening 11a1 is used for inserting the atomizing component 20 into the receiving cavity 11a.

[0057] Figure 1 The cavity 11a of the atomizing host 10 shown can accommodate two atomizing components 20. In other embodiments, depending on specific design requirements, the cavity 11a can also accommodate more than two atomizing components 20.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The atomizing component 20 includes an atomizing shell 21 and an atomizing core (not shown in the figure). The atomizing shell 21 has an airflow channel 21a and a liquid storage chamber (not shown in the figure). The atomizing core is disposed inside the atomizing shell 21 and is in fluid communication with the airflow channel 21a and the liquid storage chamber, respectively.

[0059] The liquid storage chamber is used to store e-liquid. The fluid connection between the atomizer core and the airflow channel 21a and the liquid storage chamber means that the e-liquid in the liquid storage chamber can flow to the atomizer core so that the atomizer core can heat and atomize the e-liquid. The aerosol generated by atomization flows into the airflow channel 21a.

[0060] To meet different taste preferences, multiple atomizing components 20 can store e-liquids of different flavors. For example, the e-liquid can be a single flavor such as mango or watermelon, or a mixed flavor such as strawberry kiwi or raspberry watermelon.

[0061] It should be noted that the choice of flavor is mainly determined by the user. Therefore, users can also choose the same flavor of atomizing component 20 according to their own needs. In other words, multiple atomizing components 20 can also store e-liquid of the same flavor.

[0062] Each atomizing component 20 can be detachably installed in the receiving cavity 11a. When the e-liquid in the atomizing component 20 is consumed, or when the user needs to change to another flavor of e-liquid, they only need to remove the original atomizing component 20 from the receiving cavity 11a, add e-liquid or replace it with another atomizing component 20, and then put the atomizing component 20 with added e-liquid or the replaced atomizing component 20 back into the receiving cavity 11a. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0063] The atomizing component 20 can be detachably disposed within the receiving cavity 11a in any way, such as by snapping or magnetically engaging with the housing component 11.

[0064] In other embodiments, each atomizing component 20 may also be non-removably disposed within the receiving cavity 11a, allowing the user to add e-liquid to the liquid storage compartment of the atomizing component 20 without removing it.

[0065] The nozzle assembly 13 has a suction channel 13a, which is covered at the opening 11a1. The suction channel 13a is connected to the airflow channel 21a of each atomizing assembly 20.

[0066] The mouthpiece assembly 13 is used to contact the user's mouth when the user inhales, so that the aerosol generated by the atomizing assembly 20 flows from the airflow channel 21a through the suction channel 13a into the user's mouth.

[0067] The number of suction channels 13a is unlimited; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The nozzle assembly 13 may have a suction channel 13a, which is connected to the airflow channel 21a of multiple atomizing components 20. That is, when multiple atomizing components 20 work at the same time, the aerosols generated by each atomizing component 20 enter the suction channel 13a at the same time and mix in the suction channel 13a.

[0068] In other embodiments, the nozzle assembly 13 may have suction channels 13a that correspond one-to-one with the airflow channels 21a. That is, the nozzle assembly 13 has multiple suction channels 13a, and each suction channel 13a is connected to the airflow channel 21a of the corresponding atomizing assembly 20.

[0069] The connection method between the nozzle assembly 13 and the housing assembly 11 is not limited. They can be connected non-detachably by means of bonding or other methods. Alternatively, the nozzle assembly 13 and the housing assembly 11 can be connected detachably, such as by snap-fit ​​or by fastening with screws, bolts or other fasteners.

[0070] For example, please refer to the card-connector. Figure 2 The outer surface of the nozzle assembly 13 has a second snap-fit ​​portion 133, and the corresponding position on the inner surface of the housing assembly 11 has a snap-fit ​​groove 111a. The second snap-fit ​​portion 133 achieves snap-fit ​​by snapping into the snap-fit ​​groove 111a. By snapping the nozzle assembly 13 to the housing assembly 11, the nozzle assembly 13 can be easily assembled and disassembled.

[0071] An airflow sensor 12 is disposed within the housing 111 and is used for fluid communication with the airflow channel 21a of each atomizing component 20. A control component 14 is used for signal connection with the airflow sensor 12 and each atomizing component 20.

[0072] The airflow sensor 12 is used to detect changes in airflow within the airflow channel 21a. The detection principle of the airflow sensor 12 is not limited; changes in airflow can be determined by detecting pressure difference, pressure, or the eddies generated when the user inhales.

[0073] The airflow sensor 12 is in fluid communication with the airflow channel 21a of each atomizing component 20, meaning that fluid can flow between the airflow sensor 12 and the airflow channel 21a.

[0074] The control component 14 is used to control the working state of the multiple atomizing components 20. That is, the airflow sensor 12 can control at least one of the multiple atomizing components 20 to start or stop through the control component 14.

[0075] Signal connection means that the control component 14 can transmit signals with the airflow sensor 12 and multiple atomizing components 20. This transmission can be wired or wireless.

[0076] Specifically, multiple atomizing components 20 are disposed within the accommodating cavity 11a. The airflow channel 21a of each atomizing component 20 is connected to the suction channel 13a and is fluidly connected to the airflow sensor 12. The atomizing core of each atomizing component 20 is connected to the control component 14 via signal. Since the suction channel 13a of the mouthpiece assembly 13 is connected to the airflow channel 21a, when the user inhales, the airflow can flow between the suction channel 13a, the airflow channel 21a, and the airflow sensor 12. After detecting the change in airflow, the airflow sensor 12 transmits a signal to the control component 14. The control component 14 determines that the user is inhaling based on the signal from the airflow sensor 12, and thus controls the atomizing core of the corresponding atomizing component 20 to start heating. When the user is not inhaling, the control component 14 controls the atomizing core of the corresponding atomizing component 20 to stop working based on the signal from the airflow sensor 12.

[0077] This application also provides a control method for an aerosol generating apparatus, used in any of the aerosol generating apparatuses described in this application. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 11 The control methods include:

[0078] S1: Receive the first control command;

[0079] S2: Power supply is supplied to the atomizing core of at least one of the plurality of atomizing components 20 according to the first control command.

[0080] In other words, it is possible to power only one atomizing core of the atomizing component 20, or to power all the atomizing cores of the atomizing components 20 at the same time. When the number of atomizing components 20 is three or more, it is also possible to power some atomizing components 20 (i.e., the number of atomizing components 20 is greater than one but less than the total number of atomizing components 20) at the same time.

[0081] The specific form of sending the first control command is not limited. For example, the first control command can be sent by pressing the control switch, by touching the control switch or the touch screen, or by sending the first control command by voice.

[0082] The control method of this application embodiment can electrically control the power supply or power cut-off of the atomizing core of at least one of the multiple atomizing components 20, thereby realizing different working modes of the aerosol generating device.

[0083] Taking two atomizing components 20 as an example, power can be supplied to the atomizing core of one atomizing component 20 while the power to the atomizing core of the other atomizing component 20 is turned off. In other words, only one of the two atomizing components 20 can produce aerosol, and the aerosol generating device is in single heating mode. Alternatively, all the atomizing cores of the atomizing components 20 can be powered simultaneously, meaning both atomizing components 20 can work simultaneously to produce aerosol. In this case, the aerosol generating device is in full heating mode. For embodiments where the e-liquids in the two atomizing components 20 are of different flavors, the two atomizing components 20 can simultaneously produce aerosols of different flavors, which can be mixed to form a mixed-flavor aerosol. In other words, the number of atomizing cores in multiple atomizing components 20 can be individually controlled to meet the user's different flavor preferences.

[0084] In one embodiment, the control method may further include: receiving a second control command; and adjusting the power of the atomizing core of at least one of the plurality of atomizing components 20 according to the second control command.

[0085] In other words, the second control command is used to adjust the power of the atomizing core of the atomizing component 20 so that the atomizing component 20 generates an aerosol of a corresponding concentration.

[0086] The second control command can adjust the power of the atomizing core of one of the multiple atomizing components 20, or it can adjust the power of the atomizing cores of all atomizing components 20.

[0087] The atomizing host 10 of this application embodiment has a receiving cavity 11a on the housing assembly 11 for accommodating multiple atomizing components 20, and the control component 14 is respectively connected to the airflow sensor 12 and each atomizing component 20. The control component 14 can control each atomizing component 20 according to the signal of the airflow sensor 12. Thus, when multiple atomizing components 20 store e-liquids of different flavors, the user can activate one atomizing component 20 as needed to inhale only the aerosol generated by that atomizing component 20, or activate all atomizing components 20 (when the number of atomizing components 20 is three or more, some atomizing components 20 can also be activated) so that the aerosols generated by different atomizing components 20 can be mixed to form a mixed flavor aerosol. This allows the user to customize the flavor of the aerosol according to their needs, thereby improving the playability of the aerosol generating device.

[0088] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and 4 The housing assembly 11 may include a housing 111 having an opening 11a1 and a bracket 112 disposed within the housing 111, the bracket 112 dividing the housing 111 into a receiving cavity 11a.

[0089] The bracket 112 is used to support multiple atomizing components 20.

[0090] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The bracket 112 may have a receiving groove 112a corresponding to the atomizing component 20 and having a slot 112a1. Each receiving groove 112a is located in the receiving cavity 11a, and the slot 112a1 of each receiving groove 112a faces the opening 11a1.

[0091] The receiving groove 112a of the bracket 112 is used to limit the multiple atomizing components 20 to prevent the atomizing components 20 from being displaced in the receiving cavity 11a as much as possible. The slot 112a1 is used for inserting the atomizing component 20 into the receiving groove 112a, that is, one end of the atomizing component 20 can be inserted into the receiving groove 112a from the slot 112a1.

[0092] Figure 4 The atomizing host 10 shown is used in conjunction with two atomizing components 20, therefore, the bracket 112 is provided with two receiving slots 112a.

[0093] In other embodiments, for atomizing host used in conjunction with three or more atomizing components 20, the bracket 112 may also have three or more receiving slots 112a, that is, the receiving slots 112a correspond one-to-one with the atomizing components 20.

[0094] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The support 112 may include a base 1121 with a receiving groove 112a and a partition 1122 with a connecting port 1122a and an electrode clearance port 1122b. The partition 1122 is disposed on the side of the base 1121 away from the port 11a1. The control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12 are disposed on the side of the partition 1122 away from the base 1121, and the airflow sensor 12 is in fluid communication with the airflow channel 21a of each atomizing component 20 through the connecting port 1122a.

[0095] The partition 1122 is used to separate the atomizing component 20 from the control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12, that is, the atomizing component 20 and the control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12 are located on opposite sides of the partition 1122.

[0096] The connection port 1122a is used to connect the airflow channel 21a and the airflow sensor 12 so that fluid can flow between the airflow channel 21a and the airflow sensor 12 through the connection port 1122a.

[0097] Please see Figure 5 The atomizing assembly 20 can also be equipped with an electrode rod 22, through which the atomizing core is signal-connected to the control assembly 14. The electrode clearance port 1122b is used to avoid the electrode rod 22 of the atomizing assembly 20; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 5 to 8 The electrode rod 22 can be connected to the control component 14 by passing through the electrode clearance port 1122b. In some other embodiments, the electrode rod 22 may not pass through the electrode clearance port 1122b. For example, a cable can be used to pass through the electrode clearance port 1122b to connect the electrode rod 22 and the control component 14 respectively, thereby achieving signal connection.

[0098] By setting a partition 1122 on the side of the base 1121 away from the opening 11a1, and setting the control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12 on the side of the partition 1122 away from the base 1121, multiple atomizing components 20 can be separated from the control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12, so as to protect the control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12 and prevent the aerosol generated by the atomizing components 20 from affecting the operation and service life of the control component 14 and the airflow sensor 12.

[0099] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The bracket 112 may also include a mounting base 1123 disposed on the side of the partition 1122 opposite to the seat body 1121, and the airflow sensor 12 is disposed on the mounting base 1123.

[0100] In other words, the mounting base 1123 is used to mount the airflow sensor 12 to ensure the installation stability of the airflow sensor 12.

[0101] Please continue reading. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The airflow sensor 12 may have a sensing chamber 12a. The airflow sensor 12 and the mounting base 1123 together form a sensing channel 12b. The sensing chamber 12a is connected to the communication port 1122a through the sensing channel 12b.

[0102] The sensing chamber 12a is used to sense changes in airflow pressure. The sensing channel 12b connects the sensing chamber 12a and the airflow channel 21a through the connecting port 1122a, so that the suction channel 13a, the airflow channel 21a, the sensing channel 12b, and the sensing chamber 12a form an airflow path. When the user inhales, a negative pressure is formed in the sensing chamber 12a. The airflow sensor 12 detects the pressure difference in the sensing chamber 12a and transmits the signal to the control component 14, thereby enabling the control component 14 to supply power to the atomizing component 20.

[0103] For example, please refer to Figure 9 The airflow sensor 12 has a groove 12c on one side that communicates with the sensing chamber 12a. When the airflow sensor 12 is installed on the mounting base 1123, the side with the groove 12c contacts the mounting base 1123 so that the mounting base 1123 and the groove wall of the groove 12c form a sensing channel 12b, ensuring the sensitivity of the airflow sensor.

[0104] In other embodiments, the airflow sensor 12 may have a sensing channel 12b, and the sensing chamber 12a may be connected to the communication port 1122a through the sensing channel 12b. That is, the airflow sensor 12 itself has a sensing channel 12b that is connected to the sensing chamber 12a, rather than the sensing channel 12b being jointly enclosed by the mounting base 1123.

[0105] To further ensure the installation stability of the airflow sensor 12, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 6 The mounting base 1123 may have a mounting groove 1123a, in which at least a portion of the structure of the airflow sensor 12 is disposed.

[0106] In one embodiment, the nozzle assembly 13 may be in sealed contact with each atomizing assembly 20.

[0107] A sealed contact means that when the nozzle assembly 13 is placed over the opening 11a1, the nozzle assembly 13 is in contact with each atomizing component 20 disposed in the receiving cavity 11a, and the contact area cannot allow airflow to pass through. In other words, the airflow can only flow between the suction channel 13a and the airflow channel 21a, and cannot escape from the contact area between the nozzle assembly 13 and each atomizing component 20.

[0108] For example, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 The nozzle assembly 13 may include a sealed nozzle 131 having a suction channel 13a and a main nozzle 132 sleeved on the outer surface of the sealed nozzle 131. The sealed nozzle 131 is in sealed contact with each atomizing component 20.

[0109] The sealing nozzle 131 is used to seal the connection between the nozzle assembly 13 and each atomizing component 20. The main nozzle 132 is used for contact with the user's mouth.

[0110] The material of the sealing nozzle 131 is not limited. To ensure the sealing effect, rubber can be used. Rubber has good sealing performance and good elastic deformation ability, which can cooperate well with the atomizing component 20.

[0111] The connection method between the sealing nozzle 131 and the main nozzle 132 is not limited. They can be connected non-detachably by means of dispensing or other methods. Alternatively, the sealing nozzle 131 and the main nozzle 132 can be connected detachably, such as by snap-fit ​​or by fastening with screws, bolts or other fasteners.

[0112] For example, please refer to the card-connector. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The outer surface of the sealing nozzle 131 may have a first snap-fit ​​portion 1311, and the corresponding position of the main nozzle 132 may have a snap-fit ​​interface 132a. The first snap-fit ​​portion 1311 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​interface 132a. In another embodiment, the inner surface of the main nozzle 132 may have the first snap-fit ​​portion 1311, and the corresponding position of the sealing nozzle 131 may have the snap-fit ​​interface 132a.

[0113] Please continue reading. Figure 4 The nozzle assembly 13 may include a sealing insertion slot 13b that corresponds one-to-one with the atomizing assembly 20, and each insertion slot 13b is connected to the suction channel 13a.

[0114] In other words, after each atomizing component 20 is inserted into its corresponding insertion slot 13b, the atomizing component 20 makes sealed contact with the wall of the insertion slot 13b. For the mouthpiece assembly 13 with a sealing mouthpiece 131 and a main mouthpiece 132, the insertion slot 13b is actually located inside the sealing mouthpiece 131.

[0115] Since each insertion slot 13b is connected to the suction channel 13a, after each atomizing component 20 is in sealed contact with the insertion slot 13b, the airflow channel 21a can be connected to the suction channel 13a through the connection between the insertion slot 13b and the suction channel 13a. In this way, the aerosol can flow from the airflow channel 21a to the suction channel 13a, and the aerosol will not overflow from the area where the insertion slot 13b and the atomizing component 20 are in contact when the user is inhaling.

[0116] In addition, the insertion slot 13b limits the atomizing component 20 to prevent the atomizing component 20 from shifting in the receiving cavity 11a as much as possible.

[0117] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The atomizing host 10 may also include a battery 15 detachably disposed within the housing 111, and the control component 14 includes an electronic control board 141 and a conductive spring 142, with the battery 15 electrically connected to the electronic control board 141 via the conductive spring 142.

[0118] Battery 15 is used to power the electronic control board 141 and the atomizing assembly 20. Battery 15 is electrically connected to the electronic control board 141 by abutting against the conductive spring 142.

[0119] The conductive spring 142 facilitates the electrical connection and separation of the battery 15 from the conductive spring 142, thereby making it easier to disassemble, install, and recycle the battery 15.

[0120] In an embodiment where the housing assembly 11 includes a housing 111 and a bracket 112 disposed within the housing 111, the bracket 112 may have a battery receiving cavity for accommodating a battery 15, which may limit the position of the battery 15.

[0121] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The end of the battery 15 receiving cavity opposite to the receiving cavity 11a has a disassembly port. The housing assembly 11 also includes a housing cover 113 disposed at the disassembly port. The housing cover 113 is detachably connected to the housing 111. By providing the housing cover 113 at the disassembly port, it is not only convenient to disassemble and install the battery 15, but also to protect the battery 15.

[0122] In other embodiments, the battery 15 may also be electrically connected to the electronic control board 141 via other means such as cable connection.

[0123] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The atomizing host 10 may also include a charging interface 16 that is electrically connected to the battery 15 and the control component 14 respectively.

[0124] The charging interface 16 is used to connect an external power source to charge the battery 15, for example, by connecting to AC power via a power adapter or to a power bank. In some embodiments, the charging interface 16 can also be used for information transmission. The type of the charging interface 16 is not limited; it can be a Type-C interface or a USB interface.

[0125] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The atomizing host 10 may also include a display screen 17 that is signal-connected to the control component 14. The display screen 17 is used to display the power level and the working status of the atomizing component 20.

[0126] The control component 14 is used to power the display screen 17 and provide information input so that the display screen 17 can display the power level and the working status of the atomizing component 20.

[0127] The working status of the atomizing component 20 includes, but is not limited to, information such as power level, working mode, and remaining e-liquid amount. It should be noted that the working mode refers to the working mode of a single atomizing component 20 or the working mode of multiple atomizing components 20 working simultaneously.

[0128] The display screen 17 can be a touchscreen, allowing users to interact with it so that the control component 14 can control the operating state of the atomizing component 20 based on control signals from the touchscreen. Alternatively, the display screen 17 can be a non-touchscreen device.

[0129] By setting up the display screen 17, users can quickly obtain information such as battery level and the working status of the atomizing component 20, thereby improving user convenience.

[0130] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The atomizing host 10 may also include a fingerprint module 18 that is signal-connected to the control component 14, and the fingerprint module 18 is used for fingerprint unlocking.

[0131] Users must unlock the aerosol generator with their fingerprint before using it to prevent minors or other people from using it.

[0132] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control component 14 may include a control switch 143 and an electronic control board 141 connected to the control switch 143. The electronic control board 141 is connected to the airflow sensor 12 and the atomizing core of each atomizing component 20, respectively, so as to supply power to the atomizing core of at least one atomizing component 20 or adjust the power of the atomizing core of at least one atomizing component 20 according to the control signal of the control switch 143.

[0133] Control switch 143 is used to control the operating status of multiple atomizing coils. Taking two atomizing components 20 as an example, control switch 143 can supply power to the atomizing coil of one atomizing component 20 via the electronic control board 141 to heat and atomize the e-liquid, while simultaneously de-energizing the atomizing coil of the other atomizing component 20. In other words, only one of the two atomizing components 20 is energized to produce aerosol. Control switch 143 can also simultaneously energize the atomizing coils of both atomizing components 20, meaning both atomizing components 20 operate simultaneously to produce aerosol. In other words, the energization or de-energization of the atomizing coils of multiple atomizing components 20 can be controlled individually to meet the needs of users with different taste preferences.

[0134] After powering at least one atomizing component 20, the control switch 143 can also adjust the power of the powered atomizing core. By adjusting the atomizing core to different power levels, the atomizing component 20 can generate aerosols of different concentrations. Taking two atomizing components 20 as an example, the power levels of the atomizing cores of the two atomizing components 20 can be different, that is, the aerosol concentrations produced by the two atomizing components 20 can be different. For two atomizing components 20 with different flavors of e-liquid, by making the two atomizing components 20 produce aerosols of different concentrations, users can adjust the mixing ratio of the two flavors of aerosol to meet their diverse taste preferences.

[0135] In another embodiment, the control switch 143 may first adjust the power of the atomizing core of at least one atomizing component 20, and then supply power to the atomizing core of at least one atomizing component 20.
