[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are intended to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, and methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, in order to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0033] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0034] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0035] Electric heating atomization devices, such as heat-not-burn tobacco products, electronic liquid tobacco products, aromatherapy machines, and drug atomization devices, mostly use buttons set on the outer shell to start the device, requiring the user to install the heated component into the heating chamber and then use the button to start the device. The buttons have problems such as misoperation and service life, which makes them inconvenient for users and cannot meet user needs.

[0036] In the present application, the heated part contains an aerosol matrix, which is heated and atomized to produce an aerosol. The heated part is determined according to the implementation mode of the atomization device. For example, when the atomization device is a heat-not-burn smoking device, the heated part corresponds to a cigarette or a cigarette cartridge. Of course, the above examples are only to illustrate the implementable methods, and do not limit the atomization device to a heat-not-burn smoking device. This application is only for the convenience of description, and takes the heat-not-burn smoking device as an example. At this time, the heated part is a solid cigarette or a cigarette cartridge. When it corresponds to a drug atomization device, the heated part is a solid part containing a drug.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an atomization device, which may include a power supply component 20 and an atomization device 10.

[0038] The power supply component 20 is used to supply power to the heating element 1 when the button switch 4 is turned on. For example, the power supply component 20 may include a battery and a circuit board. A control module may be provided on the circuit board. After obtaining that the button switch 4 is turned on, the control module controls the power supply component 20 to supply power to the heating element 1. Alternatively, the battery is electrically connected to the heating element 1 through the button switch 4. When the handle structure 41 of the button switch 4 is pressed, the button switch 4 is turned on, thereby connecting the battery to the heating element 1, and the battery supplies power to the heating element 1. The present application does not limit how the power supply component 20 supplies power to the heating element 1. The above examples are intended to illustrate feasible methods, and other feasible methods are not excluded.

[0039] The atomizing device 10 is used to heat the heated component 30 to generate an aerosol. The atomizing device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an atomization device 10, which is applied to an atomization device. The atomization device may include a power supply component 20; the atomization device 10 may include: a heating element 1, a shell component 2, a flexible protective element 3 and a self-resetting button switch 4.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell assembly 2 has a heating chamber 201, and the heating element 1 is arranged in the heating chamber 201; for example, the cigarette cartridge can be inserted into the heating chamber 201, and the bottom of the heating chamber 201 can be provided with a through hole for connecting the heating chamber 201 with the gas channel or the atmosphere, so that an airflow can be formed when the user smokes a cigarette, and the airflow flows from the bottom of the heating chamber 201 toward its opening.

[0042] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the protection member 3 at least covers the push handle structure 41 of the push button switch 4 , so that the push handle structure 41 can be protected.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the protective member 3 and the button switch 4 are fixed to the housing assembly 2 , and part or all of the handle structure 41 extends into the heating chamber 201 .

[0044] The heating chamber 201 is used to install the heated component 30. The heating chamber 201 corresponds to the cavity area inside the housing assembly 2, which can accommodate the heating component 1. The heated component 30 can be as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown inserted into the heating chamber 201, the heated member 30 has an aerosol matrix.

[0045] The heating element 1 is used to heat the heated element 30 to generate aerosol; the heating element 1 can be a resistive heating element that generates heat after being powered on, or an electromagnetic heating element.

[0046] The handle structure 41 is used to be pressed by the heated component 30 when the heated component 30 is installed in the heating chamber 201 to turn on the button switch 4, thereby triggering the power supply component 20 of the atomization device to supply power to the heating component 1.

[0047] In one embodiment, the handle structure 41 is also used to reset itself when the heated member 30 is taken out of the heating chamber 201, so that the button switch 4 is turned off. For example, a spring or a spring sheet or other elastic member for resetting is provided inside the self-resetting button switch 4, and when there is no external force, the elastic member drives the handle structure 41 to reset itself.

[0048] In one embodiment, the button switch 4 may be a detection switch or a micro switch, and the handle structure 41 has a guide portion on one side of the opening facing the heating chamber 201, and the guide portion is used to guide the handle structure 41 to be pressed when it is contacted and squeezed by the heated component 30. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, when the detection switch is used, the handle structure 41 may have an inclined surface or an arc surface, which is used to contact and squeeze the heated member 30, guide the handle structure 41 to be pressed, and does not hinder the heated member 30 from being inserted into the bottom of the heating chamber 201, so that the heated member 30 can be installed in place without obstacles. The handle of the micro switch is generally an inclined handle, with the inclined surface facing the opening of the heating chamber 201, and some micro switches also have guide parts such as rollers on the handle.

[0049] After the user inserts the heated member 30, the handle structure 41 is squeezed by the heated member 30, and the handle structure 41 is squeezed and pressed, turning on the button switch 4, and the power supply component 20 starts to supply power to the heating member 1, and the heating member 1 starts to heat the heated body, and the heated body generates aerosol. When the aerosol matrix of the heated member 30 is consumed, the user pulls out the heated member 30, and the handle structure 41 is reset, the button switch 4 is turned off, the power supply component 20 stops supplying power, and the heating member 1 stops heating.

[0050] For example, the detection switch is wrapped with a rubber sleeve (protective part 3) to be sealed and insulated, and is tightly fixed on the base (shell assembly 2), and is electrically connected to the PCBA control board (power supply assembly 20) through a wire; when the cigarette cartridge is inserted into the cigarette cartridge compartment (heating chamber 201), the cigarette cartridge directly or indirectly pushes the detection switch handle position, the detection switch circuit is turned on, the start function is triggered, and the smoking device starts; when the cigarette cartridge is taken out of the cigarette cartridge compartment, the detection switch handle position is reset, and the smoking device stops working.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the button switch 4 is closer to the bottom of the heating chamber 201 than the heating element 1. The bottom of the heating chamber 201 may be provided with a through hole, which is used to connect the heating chamber 201 with the gas channel or the atmosphere. When heating and atomizing are performed, the airflow flows into the bottom of the heating chamber 201 through the through hole, and the aerosol is brought out of the atomizing device 10. Figure 5 In the up-down direction shown, the airflow flows from bottom to top, and the temperature near the bottom of the heating chamber 201 is lower. The temperature of the working environment of the button switch 4 can be controlled in a lower range and can work normally. For example, the elastic parts inside remain elastic and are not easy to age. At the same time, the protective part 3 can also avoid high-temperature aging, maintain flexibility, and ensure the sealing and protection effect, so as to ensure that after the heating part 30 is taken out, the handle structure 41 is not squeezed, and the power supply component 20 stops supplying power to the heating part 1.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing assembly 2 is provided with an opening structure 211 at the bottom near the heating chamber 201, for example, on the side wall and near the bottom; the handle structure 41 extends into the heating chamber 201 through the opening structure 211, and the protective member 3 blocks the opening structure 211, isolating the button switch 4 from the heating chamber 201. The opening structure 211 connects the space where the button switch 4 is installed with the heating chamber 201. After the button switch 4 with the protective member 3 installed is installed in the housing assembly 2, the handle structure 41 extends into the heating chamber 201 through the opening structure 211, and the protective member 3 blocks the opening structure 211, isolating the button switch 4 from the heating chamber 201, and the hot air flow or aerosol will not directly act on the button switch 4, and the protective member 3 achieves a protective effect.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the protective member 3 has a cavity 31 matching the push button switch 4, and may also have a protrusion matching the handle structure 41, the handle structure 41 is embedded in the protrusion, and after the push button switch 4 is installed in the cavity 31, the protective member 3 at least covers the handle structure 41 of the push button switch 4. The protective member 3 can be configured to match the appearance of the push button switch 4, tightly wrapping the top surface and part or all of the side surfaces of the push button switch 4, to protect the handle structure 41.

[0054] In one embodiment, the protective member 3 is made of a flexible heat-resistant material, such as an insulating material such as heat-resistant silicone or heat-resistant elastic rubber. Generally, polymer materials have certain flexibility and heat-insulating properties, and the protective member 3 can be made of a heat-resistant polymer material.

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the heating element 1 may be a tubular heating element or a mesh heating element; the heating element 1 has a hollow area so that the element to be heated 30 passes through the heating element 1 .

[0056] For example, general heat-not-burn smoking devices mostly use a heating needle, which is arranged at the bottom of the heating chamber 201. The hot aerosol flows upward from the bottom, and there is a high-temperature airflow in the heating chamber 201 as a whole. At this time, it is difficult to directly arrange the button switch 4 on the inner or outer wall of the heating chamber 201. Generally, a more complicated transmission structure needs to be set up, which will increase the volume of the atomization device 10, especially the electronic cigarette, which will greatly affect the user experience.

[0057] The present application adopts a tubular heating element or a mesh heating element. The mesh heating element is rolled into a tube when used, and the middle area is hollow. It can be set on the periphery of the heated element 30, so that the heating element 1 can be set at a relatively far position, and the button switch 4 is closer to the bottom of the heating chamber 201. The airflow through the bottom through hole ensures that it works at a lower temperature. Protection and heat insulation can also be achieved through the protective element 3, and the volume of the atomization device 10 can be further controlled.

[0058] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the shell assembly 2 may include a lower shell 21 and an upper shell 22; the lower shell 21 has a first fixing portion, the upper shell 22 has a second fixing portion, the two ends of the heat generating element 1 are respectively fixed by the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, and the middle area of ​​the heat generating element 1 is suspended.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the temperature of the upper and lower ends of the heating element 1 is lower than that of the middle area, and the shell assembly 2 can fix the two ends, for example, by using a circular groove with a protrusion as shown in the figure, and the ends of the heating element 1 are embedded in the groove and are limited by the protrusions, thereby achieving fixation. The above is a form in which the heating element 1 is embedded in the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and it can be a form in which a jacket is used on the outside of the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and the limiting is achieved by the protrusions.

[0060] In summary, the atomization device 10 and the atomization equipment provided in the present application use a protective member 3 to protect the button switch 4, and a resettable handle structure 41 that extends into the heating chamber 201, and cooperates with the installation and removal of the heating member 30 such as a cigarette cartridge to achieve the effect of self-starting and self-stopping, which is easy to use and improves the user experience.
