[0027] See Figure 1 Referring to the specific embodiment shown, the present utility model discloses an aerosol generator for increasing the usage duration, comprising: a generator body 10, a mouthpiece 20, a main oil tank assembly 30, and a secondary oil tank assembly 40. The mouthpiece 20 is installed at the top of the generator body 10. The main oil tank assembly 30 and the secondary oil tank assembly 40 are installed inside the generator body 10. The main oil tank assembly 30 is communicated with the mouthpiece 20. The secondary oil tank assembly 40 is communicated with the main oil tank assembly 30. Both the main oil tank assembly 30 and the secondary oil tank assembly 40 store e-liquid. The secondary oil tank assembly 40 is used to replenish oil for the main oil tank assembly 30. A atomization core is provided inside the main oil tank assembly 30. The atomization core is used to heat the e-liquid to form a smoke, so that the smoke flows out along the mouthpiece 20 for inhalation.

[0028] Specifically, by adding a secondary oil storage component 40 outside the main oil storage component 30 and establishing a communication mechanism between the two, the secondary oil storage 41 can automatically replenish e-liquid to the main oil storage component 30, greatly increasing the e-liquid storage capacity of the entire aerosol generator, thereby extending the duration of single use and reducing the frequency of users having to frequently replace the oil storage chamber or refill during use, thus improving the user experience. Additionally, frequently replacing the oil storage chamber or refilling not only involves cumbersome operations but may also interrupt the user's vaping experience. The technology of the present utility model enables users to enjoy a continuous vaping experience for a longer period without having to interrupt to handle e-liquid replenishment issues, thereby significantly enhancing the overall user satisfaction and convenience. Moreover, for users who wish to use the aerosol generator for a long time but do not want to operate frequently or carry multiple spare oil storage chambers, this technology provides great convenience, enabling a single aerosol generator to meet the usage requirements for a longer time and increasing the practicality and durability of the device.

[0029] In one embodiment, the secondary oil storage component 40 includes a secondary oil storage 41 and a secondary heating element 42. The heating part of the secondary heating element 42 is installed inside the secondary oil storage 41. The secondary heating element 42 is used to heat the e-liquid so that the e-liquid flows into the main oil storage component 30.

[0030] Specifically, the secondary heating element 42 is a low-power heating element used to heat the e-liquid to increase its fluidity. That is, by installing the heating part of the secondary heating element 42 inside the secondary oil storage 41, it can ensure that the e-liquid is evenly heated in the secondary oil storage 41. This helps the components in the e-liquid mix better. The heated e-liquid becomes thinner and its fluidity is enhanced, which is crucial for the e-liquid to flow from the secondary oil storage 41 to the main oil storage component 30 because the increased fluidity helps the e-liquid flow more smoothly, reducing blockages and residues.

[0031] In one embodiment, a tubing 50 is provided between the main oil storage component 30 and the secondary oil storage 41 to form a communication state.

[0032] Specifically, through the design of the oil pipe 50, an automatic replenishment channel is formed between the secondary oil tank 41 and the main oil tank assembly 30. When the e-liquid in the main oil tank assembly 30 is gradually consumed, the e-liquid in the secondary oil tank 41 will automatically flow into the main oil tank through the oil pipe 50, realizing the automatic replenishment of the e-liquid. This design reduces the need for users to manually refill the e-liquid, improving the convenience of use. In addition, the design of the oil pipe 50 helps to ensure the stable flow of the e-liquid between the main oil tank assembly 30 and the secondary oil tank 41, avoiding poor atomization effects or dry burning caused by insufficient e-liquid supply, thus ensuring the stability and service life of the electronic cigarette. In addition, by realizing the automatic replenishment between the main oil tank assembly 30 and the secondary oil tank 41, users can enjoy the use of the electronic cigarette for a longer time without frequently paying attention to the remaining amount of the e-liquid or performing refilling operations, which enhances the user experience and enables users to focus more on the act of vaping itself.

[0033] In one embodiment, the oil pipe 50 is a bent pipe.

[0034] Specifically, the maze structure formed by the bent pipe can increase the path length and complexity of the e-liquid flow, thus significantly reducing the risk of misdirected oil inlet due to gravity, pressure or other external factors when the main oil tank assembly 30 is not working. This design can effectively prevent the e-liquid in the secondary oil tank 41 from flowing into the main oil tank assembly 30 in a non-atomized state, ensuring the normal operation of the electronic cigarette and the user experience. In addition, when the main oil tank assembly 30 is working and the user is vaping, the e-liquid flows from the secondary oil tank 41 to the main oil tank assembly 30, while when the main oil tank assembly 30 is not working, the e-liquid generally does not flow from the secondary oil tank 41 to the main oil tank assembly 30. In addition, the maze-shaped oil pipe 50 can act as a flow controller. By adjusting parameters such as the bending angle, number and spacing, the rate of the e-liquid flowing from the secondary oil tank 41 to the main oil tank assembly 30 can be finely controlled, which helps to maintain the stability of the electronic cigarette in the working state and prevent problems caused by too fast or too slow e-liquid supply. In addition, by preventing misdirected oil inlet and improving system stability, the design of the maze-shaped oil pipe 50 can reduce the failure rate and maintenance cost of the electronic cigarette. Users do not need to frequently clean and replace components damaged by misdirected oil inlet, thus saving time.

[0035] In one embodiment, seals are provided at the connections of the oil pipe 50 with the main oil tank assembly 30 and the secondary oil tank 41.

[0036] Specifically, the main function of the seal is to provide a tight sealing effect to prevent e-liquid from leaking at the connection between the oil pipe 50 and the oil tank. Additionally, during the use of the electronic cigarette, the e-liquid in the oil tank may be subject to certain pressure effects, such as temperature changes and atomizer core heating. The design of the seal can resist these pressures to ensure that the e-liquid does not leak out due to them. Moreover, the seal can effectively prevent dust, impurities, etc. in the air from entering the interior of the oil tank, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and purity of the e-liquid, which is of great significance for maintaining the performance of the electronic cigarette and extending its service life. In addition, the reliability of the seal can reduce the system failure rate caused by e-liquid leakage or impurity entry, which helps to improve the reliability and stability of the electronic cigarette and ensure that users can enjoy a better experience during use.

[0037] In one embodiment, the atomizer core includes a main heating element 31, and the heating part of the main heating element 31 is installed inside the main oil tank assembly 30. The main heating element 31 is used to heat the e-liquid to form a smoke.

[0038] Specifically, the main heating element 31 is a key component in the atomizer core. Its heating part is directly installed inside the main oil tank assembly 30 and is in direct contact with the e-liquid. When an electric current passes through the main heating element 31, the main heating element 31 will quickly heat up and transfer the thermal energy to the surrounding e-liquid. The e-liquid quickly evaporates and atomizes at high temperature to form a smoke that can be inhaled by the user. Additionally, since the main heating element 31 is directly located inside the main oil tank assembly 30, the e-liquid can be quickly heated and atomized, improving the immediacy when the user smokes. Compared with traditional heating methods, this design can generate smoke faster and reduce the waiting time for the user.

[0039] In one embodiment, a control board 60 is provided inside the generator body 10. The pins of the main heating element 31 extend out of the main oil tank assembly 30 and are electrically connected to the control board 60, and the pins of the secondary heating element 42 extend out of the secondary oil tank 41 and are electrically connected to the control board 60.

[0040] Specifically, the control board 60 is one of the core components inside the electronic cigarette. It is responsible for receiving external instructions (such as user button operations) and controlling the heating processes of the main heating element 31 and the secondary heating element 42. By precisely controlling the magnitude and duration of the current, the control board 60 can ensure that the main heating element 31 and the secondary heating element 42 operate within an appropriate temperature range, thereby avoiding poor smoke quality caused by overheating or insufficient temperature. Additionally, some electronic cigarettes have multiple working modes (such as normal mode, strong mode, energy-saving mode, etc.). Users can select different working modes through buttons. The control board 60 is responsible for receiving the user's instructions and switching to the corresponding working mode to meet the different needs of users. The control board 60 can also control the indicator light on the electronic cigarette and feedback the working status of the electronic cigarette (such as full battery, heating, low battery reminder, etc.) through different colors of lights or flashing modes, facilitating users to understand the real-time situation of the electronic cigarette.

[0041] In one embodiment, an airway support is further provided inside the generator body 10. The mouthpiece 20, the main oil tank assembly 30, and the airway support are interconnected to form an airway. An air inlet hole communicating with the airway is provided at the bottom of the airway support. Airflow enters the airway along the air inlet hole and is mixed with the e-liquid and heated at the atomization core to form smoke, so that the smoke flows out along the mouthpiece 20 for inhalation.

[0042] Specifically, the mouthpiece 20, the main oil tank assembly 30, and the airway support are interconnected to jointly form a complete airway system. This system allows the airflow to pass through smoothly and complete the mixing and heating process with the e-liquid inside the electronic cigarette. The airway support not only serves as a part of the airway but also provides necessary structural support, ensuring the stability and reliability of the components inside the electronic cigarette. Additionally, an air inlet hole communicating with the airway is provided at the bottom of the airway support. This is the entrance for the airflow to enter the electronic cigarette. The design of the air inlet hole needs to consider the smoothness and uniformity of the airflow to ensure the smoke generation effect. After the airflow enters the airway through the air inlet hole, it will continue to flow along the guidance of the airway support and be mixed with the e-liquid at the atomization core, enabling the airflow to efficiently contact the e-liquid and improving the heating and atomization efficiency. Additionally, at the atomization core, the airflow is mixed with the e-liquid and heated. The heating part of the main heating element 31 is installed inside the main oil tank assembly 30. When current passes through, the main heating element 31 will quickly heat up and transfer heat energy to the surrounding e-liquid. The e-liquid rapidly evaporates and atomizes at high temperature and is mixed with the airflow to form smoke. Through this mixing and heating method, the electronic cigarette can generate delicate and uniform smoke. The generated smoke will continue to flow along the airway and finally flow out through the mouthpiece 20 for users to inhale. The design of the airway support needs to ensure that the smoke will not be blocked or cause backflow during the flowing process to ensure the smoothness of inhalation and the consistency of the taste.

[0043] In one embodiment, an air regulating valve is further provided at the bottom of the generator body 10, and the air regulating valve is used to adjust the size of the air flow entering the air inlet hole.

[0044] Specifically, the air regulating valve can accurately control the size of the air flow entering the air duct. By adjusting the opening degree of the air regulating valve, the air flow rate entering the air inlet hole can be conveniently increased or decreased, so as to realize the fine adjustment of the fog output amount of the aerosol generator. In addition, by adjusting the size of the air flow, the needs and preferences of different users can be met. For example, for users who like thicker smoke, the air flow rate can be appropriately increased; while for users who have low requirements for the smoke concentration, the air flow rate can be decreased. This personalized adjustment method can improve the user experience. In addition, an appropriate air flow size helps to reduce the noise generated by the aerosol generator during operation. By adjusting the air regulating valve, the optimal air flow size that can meet the use requirements and reduce the noise can be found, further improving the user's comfort.

[0045] In one embodiment, a sealing silica gel is further provided between the air duct bracket and the main oil tank assembly 30.

[0046] Specifically, as a sealing material, the sealing silica gel can effectively fill the tiny gaps between the air duct bracket and the main oil tank assembly 30, thereby enhancing the sealing performance between the two. This can prevent the air flow from leaking through the gaps during the aerosol generation process, ensuring the stable flow of the air flow and safe use. In addition, the sealing effect of the sealing silica gel can also ensure the uniform distribution of the air flow in the air duct and the main oil tank assembly 30. The air flow without leakage and obstruction can pass through the main oil tank assembly 30 more efficiently, realizing the rapid generation and uniform output of the aerosol.

[0047] Specifically, the structures of the generator body 10 and the main oil tank assembly 30 adopt the existing publicly known technologies and will not be elaborated here too much.

[0048] The above embodiments are the preferred implementation solutions of the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present utility model.
