[0005] The mounting assembly includes a positioning bracket, a guide limiting member, and at least two mounting brackets. The positioning bracket has a connected receiving cavity and an air guide opening. The air guide opening is connected to the atomizing channel. The mounting bracket is installed in the receiving cavity along the first direction through the guide limiting member, and each mounting bracket is used to fix at least one atomizing core.

[0006] In the atomizing assembly provided in this application embodiment, by setting the positioning bracket and mounting bracket in the mounting assembly to be limited and engaged by the guide limiting component, the traditional installation method that requires the positioning bracket and mounting bracket to be positioned and engaged around the entire circle is adjusted to achieve positioning and engagement only through the guide limiting component.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0029] Atomizing devices generate aerosols by heating an aerosol-generating matrix. The key component in an atomizing device for aerosol generation is the atomizing element. Under energized conditions, the atomizing element provides heat to the aerosol-generating matrix flowing towards the atomizing core, causing the matrix to atomize and generate aerosols. In related technologies, atomizing elements can have multiple atomizing cores, which can be simultaneously heated to generate aerosols. These multiple atomizing cores need to be individually assembled to form the atomizing element. Therefore, atomizing elements with multiple atomizing cores require more parts, leading to complex assembly steps and high assembly difficulty. These issues affect the assembly success rate and ultimately the production efficiency of the atomizing element.

[0030] To address the aforementioned issues and improve the assembly efficiency of the atomizing component 10, this application provides an atomizing component 10 and an atomizing device 100. The atomizing component 10 can be structurally improved to reduce assembly difficulty, increase assembly efficiency, and ultimately facilitate the mass production and processing of the atomizing component 10.

[0031] It should be noted that the aerosol generating matrix can generate aerosols under heating conditions, and the aerosols may contain volatile compounds. The aerosol generating matrix can be, but is not limited to, materials used for medical, health, and cosmetic purposes. For example, the aerosol generating matrix can be plant-based materials, such as plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers, buds, and seeds. Those skilled in the art should understand that the structure of the aerosol generating matrix can refer to existing structures in related technologies, and the assembly structure and shape of the components in the atomizing device 100 can refer to existing structures in related technologies; therefore, detailed descriptions are not provided in this application.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the aerosol generating matrix can be a liquid matrix.

[0033] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the atomizing component 10 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure. Figure 3 for Figure 1 Explosion diagram, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning bracket 21 in the atomizing assembly 10 provided in this embodiment of the application. Figure 5 This is an assembly diagram of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 in the atomizing assembly 10 provided in this application embodiment. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the mounting bracket 22 in the atomizing component 10 provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an atomizing component 10, which includes a connected atomizing core 1 and a mounting component 2. The mounting component 2 has an atomizing channel 201 extending along a first direction. Figure 2 The direction indicated by arrow X in the diagram. The atomizing core 1 is installed within the mounting assembly 2. In this atomizing assembly 10, the number of atomizing cores 1 is at least two, and the atomizing surface 101 of any one of the atomizing cores 1 is positioned facing the atomizing channel 201.

[0035] The atomizing surface 101 refers to the side surface of the aerosol used to heat the aerosol generation matrix and produce aerosol. The mounting assembly 2 supports and fixes the atomizing core 1, and has an atomizing channel 201 extending through it in a first direction. The atomizing core 1 is installed within the mounting assembly 2, with its atomizing surface 101 facing the atomizing channel 201, so that the aerosol generated at the atomizing surface 101 is released into the atomizing channel 201. As the airflow passes through the atomizing channel 201, the airflow can carry the aforementioned aerosol out of the atomizing channel 201 and ultimately be inhaled by the user.

[0036] The total amount of aerosol produced when multiple atomizing coils 1 are working is relatively large, which can better satisfy the user's throat hit during inhalation and improve the user's vaping experience. At the same time, during the user's inhalation of the aerosol, the airflow can flow across the atomizing surfaces 101 of multiple atomizing coils 1 simultaneously and fully exchange heat with these surfaces 101, thereby improving atomization efficiency to a certain extent and helping to reduce the problem of coil clogging caused by excessive heat on the atomizing surfaces 101, thus helping to extend the service life of the atomizing coils 1.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 In the figure, there are two atomizing cores 1, which are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the atomization channel 201. Of course, in other similar embodiments, there may be three or more atomizing cores 1, with multiple atomizing cores 1 arranged circumferentially at intervals along the first direction.

[0038] by Figure 2 Taking the structure shown as an example, the atomizing surfaces 101 of the two atomizing cores 1 are arranged opposite each other. Along the first direction, from the end of the atomizing surface 101 closest to the air guide opening 2102 to the end furthest from the air guide opening 2102, the atomizing surface 101 as a whole is tilted at a preset angle in the direction away from the central axis of the air guide opening 2102. This preset angle is less than or equal to 60°.

[0039] The inclined design of the atomizing surface 101 helps the gas to make better contact with the surface of the atomizing surface 101 and generate heat exchange, so as to improve the carbon buildup and burnt core problems caused by insufficient heat exchange of the atomizing surface 101, and extend the service life of the atomizing core 1 to a certain extent.

[0040] It should be noted that the inclined atomizing surface 101 can protrude relative to the side surface of the mounting bracket 22 facing the atomizing channel 201. This makes the atomizing surface 101 spatially closer to the central axis of the air duct opening 2102 relative to the mounting bracket 22, thereby reducing the potential damage to the mounting bracket 22 during the assembly process when it comes into contact with the power supply component 20 of the atomizing device 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the combination of the inclined and raised designs of the atomizing surface 101 further enhances the firmness of the contact between the atomizing core 1 and the power supply component 20. The inclined atomizing surface 101 can better fit against the power supply component 20 through abutment, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the atomizing core 1 and the power supply component 20.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting assembly 2 includes a positioning bracket 21, a mounting bracket 22, and a guide limiting member 23. The positioning bracket 21 has an air guide opening 2102 at one end in a first direction, and an open structure at the other end. The receiving cavity 2101 of the positioning bracket 21 connects the open structure and the air guide opening 2102. The mounting bracket 22 can be inserted into or removed from the positioning bracket 21 via a insertion structure. The air guide opening 2102 communicates with the receiving cavity 2101 and also serves as the outlet of the atomizing channel 201, communicating with the atomizing channel 201. The mounting bracket 22 is mounted within the receiving cavity 2101 along the first direction via the guide limiting member 23, and each mounting bracket 22 is used to fix at least one atomizing core 1.

[0043] The number of mounting brackets 22 is at least two (generally needing to match the number of atomizing cores 1). Each mounting bracket 22 can be pre-installed with at least one atomizing core 1 independently, and then inserted integrally into the receiving cavity 2101 of the positioning bracket 21 along the first direction via the guide limiting member 23. This assembly method transforms the traditional structure that requires a full-circle precise fit between the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 into a structure that uses the guide limiting member 23 for local guidance and positioning.

[0044] During assembly, the atomizing core 1 can be fixed independently on the mounting bracket 22 first, and then the mounting bracket 22 can be installed on the positioning bracket 21 through the guide limiter 23, so as to achieve precise and quick assembly of the two.

[0045] To better position and isolate multiple atomizing coils 1, the receiving cavity 2101 includes at least two spaced-apart mounting spaces 21011. The mounting spaces 21011 can be spaced apart along a first direction or circumferentially spaced along the first direction. (See also...) Figure 4 On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, multiple installation spaces 21011 can be arranged circumferentially around the air guide opening 2102.

[0046] To prevent the aerosol generation matrix and the leakage of generated aerosols, the mounting assembly 2 also includes a sealing structure, which includes at least one of a first seal 25, a second seal 26 and a third seal 27.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 At least a portion of the first seal 25 is disposed on the circumferentially outer side of the positioning bracket 21 in a first direction. The first seal 25 can be used to form a seal with the inner wall of the housing 30 when the atomizing assembly 10 is installed into the housing 30 of the atomizing device 100, to prevent leakage of the aerosol generating matrix through the periphery of the mounting bracket 22. The second seal 26 is located at the connection between the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22. When the mounting bracket 22 is inserted into the positioning bracket 21 by the guide limiter 23, the second seal 26 is pressed between the two to achieve a seal at the joint, preventing liquid leakage from the internal connection. The third seal 27 is located at the connection between the mounting bracket 22 and the atomizing core 1, to ensure that the aerosol generating matrix can only flow to the atomizing surface 101 through the atomizing core 1, and will not seep out from the joint between the mounting bracket 22 and the atomizing core 1.

[0048] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide limiting member 23 includes a first guide portion 231 protruding on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2101 and a second guide portion 232 protruding on the outer side of the mounting bracket 22. The first guide portion 231 and the second guide portion 232 guide each other, and at least one of the first guide portion 231 and the second guide portion 232 extends along a first direction.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5The number of the first guide portions 231 is an integer multiple of the number of installation spaces 21011, and at least one first guide portion 231 is arranged opposite to the corresponding installation space 21011, so that each installation space 21011 has a corresponding first guide portion 231, so that the mounting bracket 22 can be installed in the corresponding installation space 21011 of the positioning bracket 21 through the corresponding first guide portion 231.

[0050] Specifically, the first guide portion 231 protrudes from the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2101 and is located on the side wall of the receiving cavity 2101 that does not constitute the installation space 21011, and the second guide portion 232 protrudes from the outer side of the mounting bracket 22 and is located on the side of the mounting bracket 22 near the air duct opening 2102.

[0051] When assembling the mounting bracket 22 and the positioning bracket 21, it is only necessary to align the mounting bracket 22 with the mounting space 21011 of the positioning bracket 21, and then move the mounting bracket 22 along the first direction into the corresponding mounting space 21011. At this time, the second guide portion 232 on the mounting bracket 22 can slide along the first guide portion 231 of the corresponding mounting space 21011 to guide the mounting bracket 22 to slide smoothly into the mounting space 21011 along the first direction until it reaches the predetermined position. This assembly method not only ensures the assembly efficiency of the mounting bracket 22 and the positioning bracket 21, but also effectively prevents incorrect assembly, and has a certain degree of error prevention effect.

[0052] Since it is not necessary to maintain a high-precision mating surface on the entire circumference of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22, and instead guide their assembly to the guide limit member 23, the machining accuracy requirements of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 can be effectively reduced. This is especially useful for structures with complex shapes that are difficult to form in one piece, and for components that will naturally produce errors due to limitations in processing materials and processes during the forming process (such as ceramic structural parts that need to be formed by sintering).

[0053] Furthermore, the guide limiter 23 provides clear guidance for the insertion and assembly of the mounting bracket 22 into the positioning bracket 21, thereby avoiding potential misalignment and jamming during the insertion of the mounting bracket 22 into the positioning bracket 21. This makes the assembly process of the mounting bracket 22 and the positioning bracket 21 simpler and faster. Simultaneously, by reducing the sensitivity to machining errors of the mounting bracket 22 and the positioning bracket 21, even with minor dimensional deviations, the assembly of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 can be successfully achieved. This significantly improves the overall assembly success rate of the atomizing component 10, making it more suitable for mass automated production.

[0054] It should be noted that, under normal operating conditions, the first direction can be vertical, or it can be at an acute angle to the vertical direction.

[0055] For details, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 4 The first guide portion 231 on the positioning bracket 21 is a strip-shaped structure extending along the first direction; correspondingly, the second guide portion 232 on the mounting bracket 22 can be a strip-shaped structure extending along the first direction or a block-shaped structure. When the second guide portion 232 is a strip-shaped structure extending along the first direction, the first guide portion 231 can be a block-shaped structure that can guide and cooperate with it in the first direction.

[0056] Specifically, the length of the first guide portion 231 in the first direction can be greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 30 mm; in the direction from the mounting space 21011 to the atomizing channel 201, the first guide portion 231 has a width, which is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm; in the direction from the inner wall of the mounting bracket 22 to the outer wall of the mounting bracket 22, the first guide portion 231 has a thickness, which is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0057] At this time, the first guide part 231 and the second guide part 232 can guide the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 to achieve rapid positioning, so as to ensure the firmness of their assembly and a high success rate of assembly.

[0058] The positioning bracket 21 has a top for setting the air duct opening 2102. When the mounting bracket 22 is inserted into the mounting space 21011 along the first direction and abuts against the top, the mounting bracket 22 is installed in place relative to the positioning bracket 21.

[0059] After the mounting bracket 22 is installed in place, in order to ensure that the mounting bracket 22 can be firmly connected with the positioning bracket 21 without loosening, the mounting assembly 2 also includes a snap-fit ​​component 24. The snap-fit ​​component 24 includes a first snap-fit ​​portion 241 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 242, which engage to achieve detachable assembly of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22.

[0060] Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​part 241 is located on the positioning bracket 21, and the second snap-fit ​​part 242 is located on the mounting bracket 22.

[0061] For example, the first latching part 241 can be set as a slot and the second latching part 242 as a buckle. During the process of inserting the mounting bracket 22 into the mounting space 21011 of the positioning bracket 21 along the first direction, when the first latching part 241 and the second latching part 242 automatically engage, the mounting bracket 22 and the positioning bracket 21 are assembled in place, and one end of the mounting bracket 22 in the first direction can be exactly in contact with the top surface of the positioning bracket 21.

[0062] The number of the aforementioned card connectors 24 can be adjusted as needed. Generally, the number of card connectors 24 can be set to no more than 10.

[0063] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The positioning bracket 21 is also provided with a liquid guiding opening 2103. The liquid guiding opening 2103 and the gas guiding opening 2102 are arranged at intervals.

[0064] Specifically, the number of liquid guiding openings 2103 is the same as the number of atomizing cores 1, and they are arranged circumferentially around the air guiding openings 2102. The liquid guiding openings 2103 are used to guide the external liquid aerosol generating matrix to the mounting bracket 22 located in the receiving cavity 2101, and the mounting bracket 22 can guide the liquid aerosol generating matrix to the atomizing core 1.

[0065] Please see Figure 6 The mounting bracket 22 is provided with a liquid inlet 2201, a mounting groove 2202 and a liquid guiding channel 2203. The liquid inlet 2201 is arranged opposite to the liquid guiding opening 2103. The liquid guiding channel 2203 connects the liquid inlet 2201 and the mounting groove 2202. The mounting groove 2202 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 22 near the atomizing channel 201. The atomizing core 1 is fixed to the mounting bracket 22 via the mounting groove 2202.

[0066] Under the connection of the liquid guiding channel 2203, a continuous liquid inlet path is formed inside the mounting bracket 22. The liquid aerosol generation matrix stored externally can flow sequentially through the liquid guiding opening 2103, the liquid inlet 2201, and then through the liquid guiding channel 2203 to the mounting tank 2202, where it is adsorbed by the atomizing core 1 fixed at the mounting tank 2202, so that it can finally generate aerosol under the action of the atomizing surface 101 of the atomizing core 1.

[0067] When the atomizing core 1 is working, it continuously consumes the aerosol generation matrix. Therefore, the liquid aerosol generation matrix needs to be constantly replenished to the mounting slot 2202. If the air pressure at the mounting slot 2202 and the liquid guiding channel 2203 is not balanced with the air pressure of the external environment, it will cause the liquid to have difficulty flowing to the mounting slot 2202, resulting in a liquid supply failure at the atomizing core 1. To solve this problem, the mounting slot 2202 is provided with a ventilation channel 2204, which connects the liquid guiding channel 2203 and the atomization channel 201. When the atomizing core 1 is working and continuously consuming the aerosol generation matrix, a negative pressure will be generated in the liquid guiding channel 2203 as the liquid is consumed. This negative pressure will be conducted to the atomization channel 201 through the ventilation channel 2204, and the atomization channel 201 can be connected to the external environment through other structures (such as the mouthpiece). Under negative pressure, the gas in the external environment can flow through the atomization channel 201 and the ventilation channel 2204 to the liquid guiding channel 2203, so as to balance the pressure at the liquid guiding channel 2203 and the atomization channel 201 located at both ends of the ventilation channel 2204 and ensure smooth liquid supply.

[0068] Please see Figure 6 The groove opening size and groove depth of the aforementioned ventilation channel 2204 are relatively small. Under the action of surface tension, the aerosol generation matrix with a certain degree of viscosity will not leak through the ventilation channel 2204.

[0069] It should be noted that the groove opening size and groove depth of the ventilation channel 2204 can be adaptively adjusted according to the physical properties such as the viscosity of the aerosol generating matrix.

[0070] Since the atomizing core 1 needs to be fixed inside the positioning bracket 21 by the mounting bracket 22, and one side of the mounting bracket 22 is set facing the atomization channel 201. In order to reduce the obstruction of the airflow in the atomization channel 201 by the mounting bracket 22 and ensure that the airflow carrying a certain amount of aerosol can flow more smoothly through the mounting bracket 22, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 22 is also provided with a clearance notch 221.

[0071] On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the orthographic outer contour of the clearance notch 221 is adjacent to or has a gap with the orthographic outer contour of the air guide opening 2102. This structure allows the mounting bracket 22 to avoid the air guide opening 2102 in the first direction, ensuring that the airflow in the atomization channel 201 can flow more smoothly through the mounting bracket 22 to the air guide opening 2102 of the atomization assembly 10.

[0072] The aforementioned partial adjacency refers to the situation where the orthographic projection of the clearance notch 221 and the orthographic projection of the air guide opening 2102 only partially touch at their boundaries, but there is no overlapping area. Adjacency includes the case where the outer contours of their orthographic projections are exactly tangent.

[0073] It is understood that the atomizing component 10 provided in this application embodiment can effectively reduce the assembly difficulty of the atomizing component 10 by improving the structure and using a quick-guided assembly method between the mounting bracket 22 for fixing the atomizing core 1 and the positioning bracket 21 for fixing the mounting bracket 22. At the same time, the above-mentioned structural improvement can also help reduce the processing accuracy requirements of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 to a certain extent and improve the processing yield of the positioning bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22. In addition, the structural design of the clearance notch 221 and the air exchange channel 2204 can also help avoid interference problems that may occur in the assembly and use of the atomizing component 10 to a certain extent, and ensure smooth airflow and liquid flow.

[0074] Based on the same inventive concept, in a second aspect, embodiments of this application also provide an atomizing device 100, which includes a power supply component 20 and the atomizing component 10 described in any of the preceding claims. The power supply component 20 includes an electrode 210, which can be electrically connected to the atomizing core 1 through the atomizing surface 101.

[0075] Of course, the atomizing device 100 also includes a housing 30. The atomizing component 10 and the power supply component 20 are both located inside the housing 30 and can be arranged at intervals along the width or length of the housing 30, so that the atomizing component 10 and the battery 220 can be arranged neatly and orderly inside the housing 30, making the internal structure of the atomizing device 100 more compact, which helps to reduce the size of the atomizing device 100, thereby improving the user's grip to a certain extent and thus helping to improve the user's experience.

[0076] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the atomizing device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 Explosion diagram, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the atomizing component 10 and the electrode 210 in the atomizing device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure.

[0077] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The outer casing 30 includes an upper casing 310 and a lower casing 320, wherein the upper casing 310 contains a liquid storage chamber for storing a suitable amount of aerosol generation matrix. When the atomizing assembly 10 is connected to the upper casing 310 via a first seal 25, the first seal 25 can be used to seal the gap between the atomizing assembly 10 and the upper casing 310 to ensure that the aerosol generation matrix does not leak through the joint between the atomizing assembly 10 and the upper casing 310. The power supply assembly 20 is located in the lower casing 320 and can be electrically connected to the atomizing core 1 in the atomizing assembly 10.

[0078] Specifically, the power supply assembly 20 includes a battery 220 and an electrode 210, with the electrode 210 connecting the battery 220 and the atomizing core 1. The end of the electrode 210 away from the battery 220 can be inserted into the atomizing assembly 10 and abut against the atomizing surface 101 of the atomizing core 1 to supply power to the atomizing core 1.

[0079] When assembling the atomizing device 100, the assembled atomizing component 10 can be used as an independent module to interface with the power supply component 20. Since the atomizing core 1 inside the atomizing component 10 is fixed to the positioning bracket 21 by the mounting bracket 22 and has a specific tilt angle, when the electrode 210 of the power supply component 20 comes into contact with the atomizing core 1, the two can abut and cooperate to achieve a precise and reliable electrical connection.

[0080] Compared with the traditional atomizing device 100, this structure can effectively reduce the assembly complexity and difficulty of the atomizing device 100, while helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the atomizing device 100, and helping to realize the mass production and automated production of the atomizing device 100.

[0081] Specifically, the atomizing device 100 also includes a battery holder 40 located at least partially within the lower housing 320. During assembly, the end of the battery holder 40 near the liquid storage chamber can engage with the positioning bracket 21 to further improve the assembly firmness between the atomizing component 10 and other components.

[0082] At this time, there is a gap between the first seal 25 and the positioning bracket 21 for the battery bracket 40 to be inserted.

[0083] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The electrode 210 has a conical surface 211 inclined relative to a first direction at the end that contacts the atomizing core 1. The inclination direction of the conical surface 211 matches the inclination direction of the atomizing surface 101. Therefore, during assembly, the electrode 210 can achieve surface or line contact (rather than point contact) with the atomizing surface 101 of the atomizing core 1 through the conical surface 211, thereby effectively increasing the contact area between the two, improving contact stability, and to a certain extent helping to reduce the contact resistance between the two, thus achieving the purpose of improving conductivity and electrical connection safety.

[0084] Specifically, the tilt angle between the aforementioned cone surface 211 and the first direction can be set to be greater than zero and less than or equal to 120°.

[0085] For example, when the preset angle of inclination of the atomizing surface 101 is 6°, the inclination angle between the conical surface 211 and the first direction can be any one of 6°, 7°, 8°, 9° and 10° or any two of them, to ensure that the two can be firmly abutted and fitted together.

[0086] It is understood that the atomizing device 100 provided in this application embodiment has advantages such as low processing precision requirements, easy assembly, and smooth liquid supply, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the atomizing device 100 and realizing the mass production and automated production of the atomizing device 100.

[0087] The specific structure of the atomizing component 10 can be found in the embodiments described above. Since the atomizing device 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of each of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] The description of the various embodiments above tends to emphasize the differences between the various embodiments. The similarities or similarities between them can be referred to, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0089] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
