DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present application 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.

[0024] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations, and the operation steps involved in each embodiment can also be replaced or adjusted in a sequence in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and do not mean that the composition and / or sequence are necessary.

[0025] 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).

[0026] Existing atomization devices generally include an atomizer and a power supply device. The atomizer is used to heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix to generate mist that can be inhaled by the user, and the power supply device is generally used to power the atomizer. In the related art, when the atomizer is in use, atomized gas will enter the air outlet channel of the mouthpiece when the user inhales, and partial condensation will occur on the side wall of the air outlet channel of the mouthpiece to form condensate. If not treated, these condensates are easy to adhere to the mouthpiece or the shell, affecting the user experience and the aesthetic effect of the shell. In order to solve this technical problem, the present application provides the following technical solution content.

[0027] The present application provides an atomization device, including a power supply component 100 and an atomizer 200. The power supply component 100 can provide the atomizer 200 with the power required for its operation. The power supply component 100 includes a battery and a control component. The battery is used to provide power. The control component can control the power supply of the battery, thereby adjusting the content of the aerosol formed by heating and atomizing the atomizer 200 to meet the different usage requirements of users.

[0028] The specific structure of the power supply assembly 100 can refer to the power supply assembly 100 in the atomization device in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here. The atomizer 200 will be described in detail below.

[0029] refer to Figure 1-5 The atomizer 200 includes a nozzle piece 210 and a heating component 220. The nozzle piece 210 has an air outlet 211. The air outlet 211 extends along the inside of the nozzle piece 210 to form an installation cavity 212. The heating component 220 is arranged in the installation cavity 212. The structure of the installation cavity 212 matches the structural form of the heating component 220. The heating component 220 has an air outlet channel 221, which is connected to the air outlet 211. The heating component 220 is used to heat the condensed liquid in the atomized air outlet channel 221 to form aerosol, and the aerosol is discharged through the air outlet 211.

[0030] The aerosol-generating matrix forms an aerosol after being atomized and heated. The user relies on the air outlet 211 to inhale, so that the aerosol is discharged from the air outlet 211 driven by the air and used by the user. As the use time increases, part of the aerosol is easily condensed into condensate at the air outlet 211. On the one hand, it is possible to flow back to the entire atomization device, polluting the entire atomization device and affecting its service life. On the other hand, the condensate may be retained at the air outlet 211. The mixed aerosol will be inhaled by the user when the user uses it next time, affecting the taste. The condensate retained at the air outlet 211 will also affect the appearance of the entire device. Since a heating component 220 is arranged in the installation cavity 212 formed by extending inward from the air outlet 211, the heating component 220 can heat and atomize the condensed liquid to form aerosol, thereby removing the condensed liquid and reducing the generation of the condensed liquid. When the user inhales, the aerosol is mixed with the aerosol formed by the aerosol generating matrix and used, which improves the taste of use, reduces the pollution to the air outlet 211, improves the aesthetics of the air outlet 211, and avoids the backflow of the condensed liquid, thereby improving the appearance and service life of the entire device.

[0031] It should be noted that the term aerosol refers to a dispersion of solid particles or liquid particles in a gas. "Aerosol" as used herein can generally be used to refer to a substance that has been vaporized, atomized, in the form of a spray or jet, or otherwise converted from a solid or liquid form to an inhalable form containing suspended solid or liquid drug particles.

[0032] As used herein, the aerosol-generating substrate is also referred to as an aerosol-forming substrate, and the term "aerosol-forming substrate" refers to any suitable compound or mixture of compounds that facilitates the formation of an aerosol (e.g., a stable aerosol that is substantially resistant to thermal degradation at the operating temperature of the system) during use. Suitable aerosol formers are well known in the art and include, but are not limited to: polyols, such as triethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, and glycerol; esters of polyols, such as glycerol mono-, di-, or triacetate; and aliphatic esters of mono-, di-, or polycarboxylic acids, such as dimethyl dodecanedioate and dimethyl tetradecanedioate.

[0033] It should be further explained that the composition of the condensate mentioned in this article is consistent with the above-mentioned aerosol, so the aerosol generated by its heating and atomization also belongs to the aerosol, which can be mixed with the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating matrix without affecting the taste during use.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 The heating component 220 includes a heating element 222 and a heating connecting wire 223. The heating element 222 is arranged on the inner wall of the installation cavity 212. One end of the heating connecting wire 223 is electrically connected to the heating element 222, and the other end is electrically connected to the power supply component 100 to provide working power to the heating element 222.

[0035] The heating element 222 can be heated by resistive heating or electromagnetic heating. In the case of resistive heating, the heating element 222 composed of a resistor is arranged on the inner wall of the installation cavity 212. After the power supply component 100 is turned on, the resistor is heated, and the condensed liquid near it is heated and atomized. In the case of electromagnetic heating, the electromagnetic coil and the magnetic material are combined and arranged on the inner wall of the installation cavity 212. After the power supply component 100 is turned on, electromagnetic induction is generated, and eddy currents are generated inside the magnetic material to generate heat, and the condensed liquid near it is heated and atomized.

[0036] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The heating element 222 is a cylindrical structure, the inner wall of the heating element 222 encloses the air outlet channel 221, the outer wall of the heating element 222 is arranged in close contact with the inner wall of the installation cavity 212, the heating element 222 can heat the condensed liquid in the atomized air outlet channel 221 to form aerosol, and the aerosol flows to the air outlet 211 through the air outlet channel 221.

[0037] The heating element 222 of the cylindrical structure can be formed by winding a sheet of heating material, or can be integrally formed by injection molding. The heating element 222 and the mounting cavity 212 can be formed into an integral structure by gluing or in-mold injection molding. The above processing method is mature in technology, simple in structure, simple in production and assembly, can reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, the air outlet channel 221 and the mounting cavity 212 adopt a straight-through structure, that is, the central axes of the air outlet channel 221 and the mounting cavity 212 are straight lines distributed along the length direction of the heating element 222, and the air outlet channel 221 is coaxially arranged with the mounting cavity 212. In the existing atomization equipment, the mounting cavity 212 is used as the air outlet channel 221. In the present application, the air outlet channel 221 is formed inside the heating element 222 for aerosol (or aerosol) conduction. Of course, the mounting cavity 212, the air outlet channel 221 and the air outlet 211 can also be combined for aerosol (or aerosol) conduction.

[0039] In one embodiment, the installation cavity 212 and the heating element 222 are set to be of equal length, that is, the extension length of the installation cavity 212 is the same as the extension length of the heating element 222, and the mist (or aerosol) at the suction nozzle 210 is completely conducted by relying entirely on the air outlet channel 221 of the heating element 222, so that the condensation liquid at the entire suction nozzle 210 can be completely removed, thereby improving the taste and appearance.

[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the extension length of the heating element 222 may be greater than the extension length of the mounting cavity 212, thereby increasing the heating and atomization area thereof and further increasing the range of condensate removal.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 and 4 The heating element 222 includes a plurality of heating parts 2221 connected end to end, and the plurality of heating parts 2221 are arranged in a spiral structure in the installation cavity 212. The heating parts 2221 can heat the condensed liquid in the atomization outlet channel 221 to form aerosol, and the aerosol flows to the outlet 211 through the outlet channel 221. The heating part 2221 can be composed of a conductive wire (resistance wire).

[0042] In order to improve the installation stability of the heating part 2221 and facilitate the installation and disassembly of the entire heating assembly 220, in one embodiment, the heating body 222 also includes a mounting bracket 2222, the heating part 2221 is arranged between the mounting cavity 212 and the mounting bracket 2222, and the air outlet channel 221 is arranged in the mounting bracket 2222, and the heating part 2221 can heat the condensed liquid in the atomized air outlet channel 221 to form aerosol, and the aerosol flows to the air outlet 211 through the air outlet channel 221.

[0043] In another embodiment, the heating body 222 also includes a mounting bracket 2222, the mounting bracket 2222 is arranged in the mounting cavity 212, the air outlet channel 221 is arranged in the mounting bracket 2222, and the heating part 2221 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2222. The heating part 2221 can heat the condensed liquid in the atomized air outlet channel 221 to form aerosol, and the aerosol flows to the air outlet 211 through the air outlet channel 221.

[0044] refer to Figure 5 The atomizer 200 also includes a shell component 230, and the mouthpiece 210 is arranged at one end of the shell component 230. A liquid storage tank 231 and an atomization chamber 232 are arranged in the shell component 230. The liquid storage tank 231 is used to store the aerosol generating matrix. The two ends of the atomization chamber 232 are respectively connected with the liquid storage tank 231 and the air outlet channel 221. An atomization component is arranged in the atomization chamber 232, which can heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix. The aerosol generating matrix can flow into the atomization chamber 232, and the atomization component heats and atomizes it to form an aerosol, and the aerosol can be discharged through the air outlet channel 221 and the air outlet 211 in sequence.

[0045] The shell assembly 230 can be understood as a collection of related functional components that constitute the overall outline structure of the atomizer. The user can carry, operate and use the atomizer by holding the shell assembly 230.

[0046] Furthermore, a switch button may be provided on the housing component 230 to facilitate users to turn on or off the heating component 220. Generally, when the atomizing device is used for the first time, the possibility of condensation is very small, and there is no need to heat the atomized condensation to remove the condensation. Subsequently, as the use time accumulates, condensation will appear. Users can choose whether to operate the switch button to turn on the heating component 220 according to the specific conditions of use.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the heating component 220 can also be automatically turned on when the user inhales. The atomization device is also provided with an airflow sensor. When the user inhales, the airflow sensor detects that air enters and turns on the atomization component in the atomization chamber 232 to heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix. The heating component 220 is also turned on to reduce the probability of condensation liquid forming on the mouthpiece 210 and improve the taste.

[0048] It should be noted that the specific structural composition of the airflow sensor and the atomization assembly can refer to the prior art.

[0049] The atomizer 200 also includes a base 240, which is arranged at the other end of the shell component 230 opposite to the mouthpiece 210. A conductive electrode 250 is provided on the base 240, and the heating component 220 is electrically connected to the conductive electrode 250. The contact (including abutment contact or plug contact) between the conductive electrode 250 and the power supply component 100 can achieve circuit conduction, thereby facilitating the provision of the atomizer 200 with the power required for operation.

[0050] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
