Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aerosol supply, in particular to a system comprising a suction resistance regulating component. Background Art

[0002] When a certain amount of air is sucked into the mouthpiece of the electronic cigarette, a certain vacuum pressure will be generated at the suction end to prevent the air from being further drawn out. This pressure is the resistance to inhalation, referred to as suction resistance.

[0003] The inhalation resistance has an important impact on the taste. The greater the inhalation resistance, the less air is contained in each puff, the higher the smoke content of the e-liquid, and the stronger the throat hit. However, too much inhalation resistance will make the puffing too strenuous. Since everyone has different taste preferences and different puffing habits, in order to attract consumers and meet the needs of more consumers, it is necessary to add a device to adjust the inhalation resistance in the electronic cigarette structure.

[0071] A consumable is an article comprising or consisting of an aerosol generating material, some or all of which is intended to be consumed by a user during use. A consumable may include one or more other components, such as an aerosol generating material storage area, an aerosol generating material delivery component, an aerosol generating area, a housing, a wrapper, a mouthpiece, a filter and / or an aerosol modifier. A consumable may also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which releases heat during use to cause the aerosol generating material to generate an aerosol. The heater may, for example, include a combustible material, a material that can be heated by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

[0072] A susceptor is a material that can be heated by being penetrated with a varying magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field). The susceptor can be a conductive material such that its penetration by the varying magnetic field results in inductive heating of the heated material. The heated material can be a magnetic material such that its penetration by the varying magnetic field results in hysteresis heating of the heated material. The susceptor can be both conductive and magnetic such that the susceptor can be heated by both heating mechanisms. In this article, a device configured to generate a varying magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic field generator.

[0073] Aerosol modifiers are substances typically located downstream of an aerosol generation region that are configured to modify the generated aerosol, for example by changing the taste, flavor, acidity, or another characteristic of the aerosol. The aerosol modifier may be disposed in an aerosol modifier release component that is operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, the aerosol modifier may be an additive or an adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier may include one or more of a flavoring, a coloring agent, water, and a carbon adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier may be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol modifier may be in powder, string, or particle form. The aerosol modifier may be free of filter material.

[0074] An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from an aerosol generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol generating material to thermal energy so as to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from the aerosol generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator can be configured to subject the aerosol generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0075] The present disclosure relates to an aerosol supply system (which may also be referred to as a vapor supply system), such as a sprayer or an electronic cigarette. In the following description, the term "electronic cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term can be used interchangeably with aerosol supply system / device and electronic aerosol supply system / device. In addition, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor" and related terms such as "evaporation", "aerosolization" and "aerosolization" are often used interchangeably.

[0076] Aerosol supply systems (electronic cigarettes) typically (although not always) include modular components, which include a reusable device part and a replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge part. Typically, the replaceable cartridge part will include an aerosol generating material and a vaporizer (which can be collectively referred to as an "atomizer"), and the reusable device part will include a power source (e.g., a rechargeable power source) and a control circuit. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional elements depending on the function. For example, the reusable device part will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status features, and the replaceable cartridge device part includes a temperature sensor for helping to control the temperature in some cases. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit for use, for example, using a thread, a bayonet, or a magnetic connection with appropriately arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol generating material in the cartridge is exhausted, or when the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge with a different aerosol generating material, the cartridge can be removed from the reusable part and the replacement cartridge is attached to its appropriate position. Systems and devices conforming to this type of two-piece modular configuration may generally be referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0077] Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. To provide a specific example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system using a disposable cartridge. However, it will be understood that the basic principles described herein may be equally applicable to different configurations, such as a one-piece system or a modular system including more than two components, a refillable device and single-use disposables, and other overall shapes, such as high-performance devices based on so-called box-shaped models that typically have a box shape. More generally, it will be understood that certain embodiments of the present disclosure are based on an aerosol supply system that is operationally configured to provide functionality according to the principles described herein, and that the structural aspects of the system configured to provide functionality according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure are not primarily important.

[0078] The present embodiment provides a resistance-to-inhalation adjustment component, which can be arranged in the air flow channel of the aerosol supply module or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device to adjust the ventilation volume of the aerosol supply module or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device. Among them, the aerosol supply module is an aerosol supply device or an aerosol generating product, and the aerosol supply device is configured as an atomization module for heating the aerosol generating product or the liquid matrix. The non-consumable atomization heating simulation device is a simulation device for the aerosol generating product. The non-consumable atomization heating simulation device is assembled on the aerosol supply device for heating or suction simulation, and the relevant data during the heating or suction process, such as the heating temperature, suction parameters, etc., can be monitored and obtained. At the same time, there is no need to consume the aerosol generating product, saving the testing cost.

[0079] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The resistance-to-draw adjustment component 10 includes a first adjustment element 101 and a second adjustment element 102. An air passage 103 is formed in the first adjustment element 101. The air passage 103 is in fluid communication with the aerosol supply module 20 or the air flow channel of the non-consumable atomization and heating simulation device. The second adjustment element 102 can move relative to the first adjustment element 101 to change the exposed area of ​​the air passage 103, thereby changing the air flow rate of the resistance-to-draw adjustment component, and achieving the effect of adjusting the air flow rate of the air flow channel.

[0080] The inhalation resistance adjusting component 10 can be arranged at any position of the air flow channel. When the inhalation resistance adjusting component 10 is arranged at the starting position or the ending position of the air flow channel, the inhalation resistance adjusting component 10 is located on the outer surface of the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device, such as Figure 2 When the inhalation resistance adjustment component 10 is disposed in the section between the starting position and the ending position of the airflow channel, the inhalation resistance adjustment component 10 is located inside the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0081] When the resistance-to-draw adjustment component 10 is disposed at the starting position or the end position of the airflow channel, in an optional manner, the resistance-to-draw adjustment component 10 can be disposed as an independent component on the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device, and in another optional manner, the first adjustment element 101 or the second adjustment element 102 can be configured as a part of the outer surface of the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device. When the resistance-to-draw adjustment component 10 is disposed in the section between the starting position and the end position of the airflow channel, in an optional manner, the resistance-to-draw adjustment component 10 can be disposed as an independent component in the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device, and in another optional manner, the first adjustment element 101 can be configured as a part of the internal structure of the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device, and correspondingly, the second adjustment element 102 can also be configured as a part of the internal structure of the aerosol supply module 20 or the non-consumable atomization heating simulation device.

[0082] When the resistance-to-draw adjustment component 10 is disposed in the air flow channel, the first adjustment element 101 and the second adjustment element 102 are arranged along the extension direction of the air flow channel, the first adjustment element 101 has a side surface facing the second adjustment element 102, and the air passage 103 passes through the surface. When the air flow flows in the air flow channel, it passes through the first adjustment element 101 and the second adjustment element 102 in sequence, or passes through the second adjustment element 102 and the first adjustment element 101 in sequence.

[0083] The number of the vents 103 may be one or more, and the shape of the vents 103 may be any shape such as circular, elliptical, waist-shaped, square, triangular, fan-shaped, etc. In one possible implementation, the cross-sectional area of ​​the vents 103 is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the airflow channel at the location. The airflow flow in the airflow channel is controlled by the suction resistance adjustment component 10, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the airflow channel can be designed to be larger, reducing the process requirements, and avoiding poor airflow due to the small cross-sectional area of ​​the airflow channel.

[0084] The second adjusting element 102 can move relative to the first adjusting element 101 by sliding or rotating. The sliding track of the second adjusting element 102 relative to the first adjusting element 101 can be a straight line or a curve.

[0085] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure of the second adjusting element 102 rotating relative to the first adjusting element 101 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4The resistance-to-absorption adjustment component 10 includes a first adjustment element 101, a second adjustment element 102 and a shaft 105. The first adjustment element 101 and the second adjustment element 102 are stacked and fitted together along the length direction of the shaft 105. One of the first adjustment element 101 or the second adjustment element 102 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft 105, and the other is sleeved on the shaft 105 to achieve a rotational connection between the two. It should be noted that although Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the design, a physical axis is provided between the first adjusting element 101 and the second adjusting element 102, but in this solution, the physical axis is not mandatory. In some embodiments, a convex edge can be provided on the edge of the first adjusting element 101 and / or the second adjusting element 102, and then the first adjusting element 101 and the second adjusting element 102 are sleeved to achieve the effect of one element rotating in the other element.

[0086] Preferably, the first regulating element 101 and the second regulating element 102 rotate relative to each other to form a flow hole for air flow, the area of ​​the flow hole changes with the rotation, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct 103 is larger than the maximum area of ​​the flow hole, so as to realize controlling the main pressure drop of the air flow channel through this rotating structure.

[0087] The shapes of the first adjusting element 101 and the second adjusting element 102 can be circular, square, fan-shaped, or other special-shaped shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment. The air duct 103 on the first adjusting element 101 can be defined by the outer contour of the first adjusting element 101, or by a through hole that passes through the first adjusting element 101.

Figure 6-Figure 8The aerosol supply device includes a housing 210, a heating module 220 and an energy supply module 230. The housing 210 is provided with a storage space. The top of the housing 210 is provided with a first opening 211, and the bottom is provided with a second opening 212. The first opening 211 and the second opening 212 are connected to the storage space. The heating module 220 and the energy supply module 230 are arranged in the storage space. A flow gap 231 is provided between the energy supply module 230 and the inner wall of the housing 210. The heating module 220 includes a heating element 221. The heating element 221 is provided with a heating cavity 222 for receiving an aerosol generating product. The energy supply module 230 is electrically connected to the heating element 221. The first opening 211, the heating cavity 222, the flow gap 231 and the second opening 212 are connected in sequence to form an airflow channel. The suction resistance adjustment component 10 is arranged at the bottom of the shell 210, the bottom of the shell 210 constitutes the first adjustment element 101, the second opening 212 constitutes the airway 103, the second adjustment element 102 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the shell 210, and the second adjustment element 102 is provided with a hollow portion 104. By rotating the second adjustment element 102, the overlap area of ​​the hollow portion 104 and the second opening 212 can be changed, thereby controlling the air flow entering the air flow channel and realizing the suction resistance adjustment function. Among them, the material of the shell 210 can be metal or plastic, and the material of the second adjustment element 102 can be the same as that of the shell 210, or it can be metal or plastic of different materials.

[0090] Fig. 9 shows the direction of the air flow in the aerosol supply device, see Fig. 9 , when the hollow portion 104 of the second regulating element 102 is connected with the second opening 212, the external air can enter the flow gap 231 between the energy supply module 230 and the shell 210 through the hollow portion 104 and the second opening 212 in sequence, and then enter the heating chamber 222. When the aerosol generating product is received in the heating chamber 222, the air entering the heating chamber 222 can flow along the internal channel of the aerosol generating product under the action of suction. When the overlapping area of ​​the hollow portion 104 and the second opening 212 is large, the air entering the aerosol generating product increases and the suction resistance decreases; when the overlapping area of ​​the hollow portion 104 and the second opening 212 is small, the air entering the aerosol generating product decreases and the suction resistance increases.
