DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present application is further described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Furthermore, the steps or actions in the method description may be reordered or adjusted in a manner readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are provided solely for the purpose of clearly describing a particular embodiment and are not intended to be mandatory, unless otherwise specified.

[0029] The serial numbers assigned to components herein, such as "first," "second," etc., are used solely to distinguish the objects being described and do not convey any sequential or technical meaning. References to "connection" and "coupling" herein, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application provides a power supply module 100, which can be used in conjunction with an atomizer 200 to provide power to the atomizer 200 so that it heats an aerosol generating device and atomizes to form an aerosol for use by the user.

[0031] The power supply module 100 can be connected to the atomizer 200 (with Figures 6 to 9 The atomizer 200 shown in FIG is detachably connected and includes a connecting assembly 110, a housing 120, and a power supply assembly 130. Both the connecting assembly 110 and the power supply assembly 130 are disposed within the housing 120. The housing 120 defines at least one air inlet 121. The connecting assembly 110 is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 130, which can then be electrically connected to the atomizer 200 via the connecting assembly 110. The power supply assembly 130 is used to provide power for the heating and atomization operations of the atomizer 200.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, an air inlet passage 140 is defined between the power supply assembly 130 and the inner wall of the housing 120 . The upstream of the air inlet passage 140 is connected to the air inlet hole 121 .

[0033] See also Figure 2 The connecting assembly 110 is disposed at one end of the power supply assembly 130. The connecting assembly 110 may include a main body 111 and a connecting electrode. The connecting electrode is disposed on the main body 111, one end of which is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 130 and the other end is used to electrically connect to the atomizer 200. When the atomizer 200 is assembled with the power supply module 100, the atomizer 200 can be electrically connected to the power supply assembly 130 via the connecting electrode.

[0034] The main body 111 is formed with a connecting channel 1111, which connects the air inlet channel 140 with the airway within the atomizer 200. Together, the two channels define a through-the-air flow channel. Gas enters the atomizer 200 through the air inlet hole 121, the air inlet channel 140, and the connecting channel 1111. Within the atomizer 200, the gas mixes with the aerosol being atomized, and then flows out of the airway of the atomizer 200 for consumption by the user.

[0035] Among them, the upstream of the connecting channel 1111 is connected with the downstream of the air intake channel 140, and the connecting channel 1111 is located on the circumferential side of the main body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply component 130, and the air intake channel 140 is located on the circumferential side of the power supply component 130 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply component 130.

[0036] It should be understood that in an atomizer device in which the power supply module 100 and the atomizer 200 are assembled axially, due to the positional relationship between the two, when the user holds the atomizer device normally during use (for example, holding it in common postures such as standing or sitting), the air flow channel in the atomizer device may be arranged axially.

[0037] In this case, condensate generated during the user's puffing process may flow downward along the airflow channel under the action of gravity. There is a layout of the airflow channel that may cause condensate to drip onto the circuitry within the atomizer (for example, where the power supply assembly 130 is electrically connected to the electrodes), potentially damaging the circuitry and affecting product functionality.

[0038] The present application provides a connecting component 110 between the power supply component 130 and the atomizer 200 to achieve physical isolation, thereby preventing the condensate generated during the atomization process of the atomizer 200 from flowing to the power supply module 100 and then dripping onto electrical connection components such as the power supply component 130.

[0039] The present application sets the connection channel 111 to be located on the circumference of the main body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply component 130, so that the connection channel 111 is located on the circumference of the main body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply component 130 of the power supply module 100 (in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply component 130). Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the power supply module 100 is horizontally aligned with the power supply assembly 130. Even if condensate flows upstream of the connection channel 1111, it will not drip onto the connection point where the connection electrode is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 130, thus preventing the potential impact of condensate on the circuit.

[0040] Due to the relative position of the air inlet 121 and the air flow path in the direction of gravity, some current products may potentially cause condensation to flow out of the air inlet 121 along the air flow path, even if the condensation does not drip onto the circuit board. If the condensation flows out of the air inlet 121, it will contaminate the surface cleanliness of the power supply module 100. During use, the condensation may get on the user's hands, affecting the user experience.

[0041] The present application can also construct a certain misalignment by setting the air intake channel 140 to be located on the circumferential side of the power supply component 130 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply component 130, thereby reducing the risk of condensate flowing out of the air intake hole 121.

[0042] It should be understood that the "top" and "bottom" are based on the relative position of each component in the direction of gravity when the user holds the device in a common posture such as standing or sitting during use. Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 The positional relationship under the angle shown is judged, for example, Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the connecting assembly 110 is located at the top of the power supply assembly 130, and the air inlet 121 is located at the bottom of the power supply assembly 130. The "upstream" and "downstream" are based on the flow direction of the gas in each airway during the suction process; Figure 9The course of the air flow L is shown.

[0043] For example Figure 3 As shown, it should be understood that "the upstream end of the connecting channel 1111 is located on the circumference of the main body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply assembly 130." This can be understood as meaning that the upstream end of the connecting channel 1111 is located radially away from the main body 111's axis. It can also be understood that the upstream end of the connecting channel 1111 is located on the main body 111 at a distance from the axis of the main body 111. It can also be understood that the upstream end of the connecting channel 1111 is located on the outer circumference of the main body 111. It can also be understood that the upstream end of the connecting channel 1111 is located on the main body 111 at a distance from the axis of the main body 111 that is greater than the distance between one of the connecting electrodes and the axis of the main body 111. It can also be understood that the upstream end of the connecting channel 1111 is located on the main body 111 at a distance from the outer shell 120 that is less than the distance between one of the connecting electrodes and the outer shell 120.

[0044] The phrase "the air intake passage 140 is located on the circumferential side of the power supply assembly 130 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the power supply assembly 130" can be understood as meaning that the projection of the air intake passage 140 on the horizontal plane is located to one side of the projection of the power supply assembly 130 on the horizontal plane. It can also be understood that the projection of the air intake passage 140 on the horizontal plane is located on the periphery of the projection of the power supply assembly 130 on the horizontal plane. It can also be understood that the projection of the air intake passage 140 on the horizontal plane is spaced apart from the center point of the projection of the power supply assembly 130 on the horizontal plane. It can also be understood that the projection of the air intake passage 140 on the horizontal plane is spaced apart from the projection of the circuit portion of the power supply assembly 130 on the horizontal plane.

[0045] The "upstream of the connecting channel 1111" may simply be the end of the connecting channel 1111 that is connected to the air inlet channel 140, or may be a section of the connecting channel 1111 upstream. This is not specifically limited here. When the upstream of the connecting channel 1111 is located on the circumferential side of the main body 111 in the horizontal direction, the upstream of the connecting channel 1111 may be in a straight line with the axis of the connecting electrode and / or the main body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the axis, or may not be in a straight line, and this is not limited here.

[0046] The direction of the axis of the power supply component 130 can be Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 The reference may be the axis in the embodiment shown. The reference may also be the length direction of the power supply assembly 130. The reference may also be the relative direction between the circuit structure such as the electric control board and the battery in the power supply assembly 130.

[0047] In some embodiments, the air inlet 121 and the connecting assembly 110 are located at opposite ends of the power supply assembly 130. This arrangement can utilize the spacing of the power supply assembly 130 to further reduce the problem of condensation flowing out of the housing 120 under the action of gravity, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 120 is cylindrical, hollow inside, with a closed bottom and an open top. The power supply assembly 130 is disposed at the bottom end of the housing 120, and the connection assembly 110 is disposed above it. The open top portion of the housing 120 is used for detachable connection with the atomizer 200.

[0049] The air inlet 121 is formed on the bottom wall of the housing 120 , and there may be multiple air inlet holes 121 .

[0050] By setting the air inlet 121 on the bottom wall of the shell 120, the length of the airway in the power supply module 100 can be extended as much as possible, and the curvature of the airway can be increased to prevent condensation from flowing out directly along the airway, affecting the cleanliness of the appearance of the shell 120 and thus affecting the user experience.

[0051] In some other optional embodiments, the shell 120 may also be in other shapes such as polygonal column, irregular shape, hemispherical shape, pie shape, etc., and the air inlet 121 may also be formed at other positions such as the side wall of the shell 120.

[0052] In some other optional embodiments, the housing 120 may also be fully enclosed, or the through opening may be formed at other locations.

[0053] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the main body 111 is substantially cylindrical and is coaxially arranged with the housing 120 to achieve a better isolation effect.

[0054] It is now defined that the connecting electrodes include a first connecting electrode 112 and a second connecting electrode 113. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the extension directions of the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 are both parallel to the axis of the power supply module 100 (the axis of the main body 111). Both the top and bottom ends of the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 are exposed outside the main body 111. The exposed top end can be electrically connected to the atomizer 200, and the exposed bottom end is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 130.

[0055] It should be understood that the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 can be configured as a flexible electrical connection structure of a lead type, or can be configured as a rigid electrical connection structure of an electrode column type.

[0056] In this embodiment, the two parallel connecting electrodes are both rigidly electrically connected electrode columns. When the atomizer 200 is assembled with the power supply module 100, the electrodes of the atomizer 200 can abut against the first connecting electrode 112 and the second connecting electrode 113 to achieve a conductive connection between the two.

[0057] In some other optional embodiments, the main body 111 may also be in other shapes such as spherical, polygonal column, etc. The outer contour of the main body 111 may not match the inner contour of the housing 120 .

[0058] In other optional embodiments, the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 may be arranged in other shapes, such as a bend or a curve, and may be passed through the main body 111. Alternatively, the structure of the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 may be changed to change the connection position with the power supply assembly 130 to further prevent the dripping of condensation. The first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 may also be arranged non-parallel to the axis of the power supply module 100, or may be arranged non-parallel to each other.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting channel 1111 includes a connecting hole 1113 and a connecting groove 1114. The connecting hole 1113 is located upstream of the connecting groove 1114. The connecting hole 1113 can communicate with the air inlet channel 140. The connecting groove 1114 is located at the top of the main body 111. At least a portion of the top wall of the main body 111 is recessed to form the connecting groove 1114. The connecting groove 1114 communicates with the condensing chamber 1112 and the connecting hole 1113, respectively.

[0060] It should be understood that there is an atomization device in which the upstream end of the airway in the atomizer 200 is located at the axial position of the atomizer 200 (or a position close to the axis). Therefore, when the atomizer 200 is assembled with the power supply component 130, the condensate will flow to the center position of the top of the power supply component 130 under the action of gravity, and there is a potential risk of dripping onto the circuit.

[0061] like Figure 9 As shown, by providing a horizontally extending connection slot 1114, the flow direction of the airflow L can be changed while achieving communication with the atomizer 200. Its upstream can be located radially outside the connection electrode to prevent condensation from dripping onto the connection electrode and other circuit connections. Its downstream can be located at the center (or near the center) of the main body 111 through the connection slot 1114 to facilitate communication with the airway at (or near the axis) of the atomizer 200.

[0062] The provision of the connecting groove 1114 can further reduce the risk of condensate flowing along the connecting channel 1111 into the air inlet channel 140 and finally flowing out from the air inlet hole 121 .

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the connection hole 1113 is arranged parallel to the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113, and its extension direction is also parallel to the axis of the power supply module 100 (the axis of the main body 111). The upstream of the connection channel 1111 can be located radially outside one of the connection electrodes.

[0064] It should be understood that since the upstream of the connection channel 1111 is radially outside one of the connection electrodes, and the connection hole 1113 is located upstream of the connection channel 1111, the overall extension direction is parallel to the two connection electrodes. Therefore, the connection hole 1113 is entirely located outside one of the connection electrodes.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the first connection electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111 is smaller than the distance between the second connection electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111. The connection hole 1113 is located on the side of the first connection electrode 112 facing away from the second connection electrode 113. The line connecting the connection hole 1113, the first connection electrode 112, and the second connection electrode 113 is arranged in a straight line and passes through the axis of the main body 111.

[0066] In other optional embodiments, the connection groove 1114 may not be provided. The structure of the housing 120 can be controlled so that when the atomizer 200 is assembled with the power supply module 100, a certain gap exists between the atomizer 200 and the main body 111. This gap can be connected to the airway of the atomizer 200 and the connection hole 1113, respectively, to achieve the function of the connection groove 1114.

[0067] When the upstream end of the air passage of the atomizer 200 adapted to the power supply module 100 is located on one side of the atomizer 200 , the connecting groove 1114 may not be provided, so that the connecting hole 1113 is directly connected to the air passage of the atomizer 200 .

[0068] In some other optional embodiments, the connection channel 1111 can also be configured as a ring-shaped structure or an arc-shaped structure, which is arranged around the main body 111 and located outside the connection electrode.

[0069] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 111 may also be formed with a condensation chamber 1112 that is open away from the power supply assembly 130 and is used to collect condensate flowing out of the atomizer 200, facilitating centralized cleaning by the user and improving the user experience. The condensation chamber 1112 may be connected to the connecting channel 1111 and have a condensate collection port that is open away from the power supply assembly 130.

[0070] When the power supply module 100 and the atomizer 200 are assembled and used, the condensation chamber 1112 is directly opposite to the upstream of the air outlet channel 240, that is, there is at least a part of the condensate collection port that can be directly opposite to the upstream end of the air outlet channel 240 of the atomizer 200, so that under the action of gravity, the condensate dripping from the air outlet channel 240 can drip into the condensation chamber 1112 through the condensate collection port, thereby facilitating the collection of the condensate.

[0071] It should be understood that at least part of the condensate collection port is directly opposite to the upstream of the air outlet channel 240, which can be understood as the two being coaxially arranged, and it can also be understood that the projections of the condensate collection port and the upstream end of the air outlet channel 240 on the plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity are at least partially overlapped.

[0072] The condensation chamber 1112 may be groove-shaped and disposed at the top of the main body 111 so as to correspond to the air passage of the atomizer 200. Condensate flowing out of the air passage of the atomizer 200 may drip into the condensation chamber 1112 under the action of gravity.

[0073] It should be understood that atomizers with condensate leakage problems can easily affect the cleanliness of the atomizer's exterior, requiring frequent cleaning and wiping, which can negatively impact the user experience. Condensate trapped within the atomizer, however, can remain inside, affecting the cleanliness of the device and, over time, affecting the device's service life and the puffing experience.

[0074] By providing a condensation chamber 1112 and connecting it to the connecting channel 1111, the condensate flowing out of the atomizer 200 can be contained in the condensation chamber 1112. This can greatly reduce or avoid the potential problem of condensate leaking along the airflow channel. At the same time, it can also greatly reduce the impact of condensate on the internal structure of the power supply module 100, improve the cleanliness of the power supply module 100, and thus increase the service life of the power supply module 100, indirectly improving the consistency of taste before and after the atomizer is used for a long time.

[0075] The present application facilitates cleaning by arranging the condensation chamber 1112 at the top of the main body 111. When the user needs to regularly clean the condensate in the condensation chamber 1112, the user can detach the atomizer 200 from the power supply module 100 to directly expose the main body 111 located at the top of the power supply module 100 for cleaning.

[0076] The groove-shaped condensation chamber 1112 may be a cylindrical groove, a hemispherical groove, or an irregular shape, etc. No specific limitation is given here.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first connection electrode 112 may be radially located between the condensation cavity 1112 and the second connection electrode 113. The first connection electrode 112 may be radially located between the condensation cavity 1112 and the connection hole 1113. The second connection electrode 113 and the connection hole 1113 may be radially located outside the first connection electrode 112, respectively.

[0078] It should be understood that "the first connecting electrode 112 is radially located between the condensation chamber 1112 and the second connecting electrode 113" can be understood as the distance between the axis (center point) of the first connecting electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111, which is between the distance between the center point of the condensation chamber 1112 and the axis of the main body 111, and the distance between the axis (center point) of the second connecting electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111.

[0079] “The first connecting electrode 112 is radially located between the condensation chamber 1112 and the connecting hole 1113” can be understood as that the distance between the axis (center point) of the first connecting electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111 is between the distance between the center point of the condensation chamber 1112 and the axis of the main body 111, and the distance between the axis (center point) of the connecting hole 1113 and the axis of the main body 111.

[0080] The phrase "the second connection electrode 113 and the connection hole 1113 are respectively located radially on the outer periphery of the first connection electrode 112" can be understood as meaning that the distance between the axis (center point) of the second connection electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111 is greater than the distance between the axis (center point) of the first connection electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111. The distance between the axis (center point) of the connection hole 1113 and the axis of the main body 111 is greater than the distance between the axis (center point) of the first connection electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111.

[0081] Then, if Figure 3 As shown, with the axis of the main body 111 as the center of the circle, the first connecting electrode 112 is roughly located on the outer periphery of the concentric circle where the center point of the condensation chamber 1112 is located, the second connecting electrode 113 is roughly located on the outer periphery of the concentric circle where the center point of the first connecting electrode 112 is located, and the connecting hole 1113 is also roughly located on the outer periphery of the concentric circle where the center point of the first connecting electrode 112 is located.

[0082] See also Figure 2 The axis (center point) of the first connecting electrode 112 , the second connecting electrode 113 , the condensation chamber 1112 and the connecting hole 1113 can be connected in a straight line, and the line passes through the axis of the power supply module 100 .

[0083] exist Figure 2 In the specific embodiment shown, the distance between the axis (center point) of the first connecting electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111 is roughly matched to the distance between the edge of the circle defined by the condensation chamber 1112 and the axis of the main body 111. The distance between the axis (center point) of the second connecting electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111 is roughly matched to the distance between the axis (center point) of the connecting hole 1113 and the axis of the main body 111.

[0084] For an atomizer 200 compatible with the power supply module 100, if the upstream end of the air passage of the atomizer 200 is located at (or near) the axis of the atomizer 200, the condensation chamber 1112 is located between the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113, and a line connecting the three passes through the axis of the power supply module 100, so that at least a portion of the condensation chamber 1112 is vertically aligned with the air passage of the atomizer 200. Condensate in the air passage of the atomizer 200 can drip into the condensation chamber 1112 under the action of gravity.

[0085] It should be understood that, because the distance between the axis (center point) of the first connection electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111 is smaller than the distance between the axis (center point) of the second connection electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111, when the condensation chamber 1112 is disposed between the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113, the axis of the condensation chamber 1112 is parallel to and spaced from the axes of the power supply module 100 and the main body 111.

[0086] In some other optional embodiments, with the axis of the main body 111 as the center point, the arrangement positions of the first connecting electrode 112, the second connecting electrode 113, the condensation chamber 1112 and the connecting hole 1113 on the main body 111 can be flexibly adjusted on the concentric circles where they are located.

[0087] The distance between the axis (center point) of the first connecting electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111 may also be slightly greater than or slightly less than the distance between the edge of the circle defined by the condensation chamber 1112 and the axis of the main body 111. The distance between the axis (center point) of the second connecting electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111 may also be slightly greater than or slightly less than the distance between the axis (center point) of the connecting hole 1113 and the axis of the main body 111.

[0088] When the air passage of the atomizer 200 adapted to the power supply module 100 is located at other locations, the location of the condensation chamber 1112 can be adjusted accordingly. For example, it can be located on one side of the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113.

[0089] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the condensation chamber 1112 can be connected to the downstream of the connecting groove 1114. Such an arrangement can facilitate the condensate in the connecting groove 1114 to flow into the condensation chamber 1112.

[0090] In some embodiments, the main body 111 may further include a boss portion 1115 protruding from the bottom wall of a portion of the connection groove 1114. The boss portion 1115 may divide the connection groove 1114 into two groove portions, with the two groove portions located on opposite sides of the boss portion 1115, and each groove portion communicating with the condensation chamber 1112 and the connection hole 1113. The first connection electrode 112 may be disposed on the boss portion 1115.

[0091] It should be understood that in this embodiment, in the horizontal direction, the connecting line between the connecting hole 1113 , the condensation chamber 1112 , the first connecting electrode 112 and the second connecting electrode 113 is a straight line passing through the axis of the main body 111 .

[0092] The provision of the bosses 1115 divides the connection groove 1114 and provides a platform to avoid the first connection electrode 112, thus preventing liquid from damaging the first connection electrode 112 during flow. The air passage formed by the connection groove 1114 can also be further curved, further preventing condensation from flowing into the connection hole 1113 through the curved air passage structure, thereby further preventing condensation from damaging the circuit.

[0093] When the connection groove 1114 is disposed around the first connection electrode 112 , the number of the connection grooves 1114 can be two, one located on each side of the first connection electrode 112 .

[0094] In some other optional embodiments, when the number of the connecting groove 1114 can be set to one, it can bypass one side of the first connecting electrode 112 .

[0095] In some other optional embodiments, when the connection hole 1113 and / or the condensation chamber 1112 are arranged so that the connection line between the connection hole 1113, the condensation chamber 1112, the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 is not arranged in a straight line in the horizontal direction, the connection groove 1114 can also be arranged in the shape of a straight groove or the like.

[0096] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting assembly 110 further includes at least one magnetic member 114. The magnetic member 114 is disposed on the main body 111, and when the power supply module 100 and the atomizer 200 are assembled, the magnetic member 114 can be detachably connected to the atomizer 200 by magnetic attraction.

[0097] See also Figure 3 The top of the housing 120 is further formed with an assembly cavity 122 with a top through-hole. The atomizer 200 can be inserted from the through-hole at the top of the housing 120 and inserted into the assembly cavity 122 to achieve a detachable connection between the two.

[0098] The magnetic element 114 optimizes the assembly of the power supply module 100 and the atomizer 200. When the atomizer 200 is inserted into the assembly cavity 122 from the top of the housing 120, the magnetic element 114 acts as a force of attraction for the user, drawing the atomizer 200 toward the main body 111. The crisp sound of the magnetic element 114 colliding with the atomizer 200 also serves as a reminder to the user that the assembly is in place, enhancing the user experience.

[0099] In this embodiment, there are two substantially arc-shaped magnetic members 114. The two magnetic members 114 are symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the top of the main body 111 and embedded in the main body 111. The top walls of the magnetic members 114 are coplanar with the top wall of the main body 111.

[0100] Since the line connecting the connection hole 1113, the condensation chamber 1112, the first connection electrode 112, and the second connection electrode 113 is a straight line passing through the axis of the main body 111, the two magnetic members 114 are symmetrically positioned on either side of this "straight line" to achieve a uniform layout on the main body 111. This also ensures that the magnetic attraction of the magnetic members 114 to the atomizer 200 is more uniform during assembly.

[0101] In other optional embodiments, the number of magnetic elements 114 can be one, three, or more. When multiple magnetic elements are provided, they can be evenly spaced along the circumference of the main body 111, or flexibly arranged according to the space available in the main body 111. The magnetic elements 114 can also be embedded in the main body 111.

[0102] In some other optional embodiments, the top wall of the magnetic member 114 may be slightly higher than the top wall of the main body 111. In this case, the magnetic member 114 may also have a spacing effect, so that the main body 111 and the bottom wall of the atomizer 200 are spaced apart to serve as a connecting airway.

[0103] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the power supply assembly 130 may include a battery 131 and a control module 132. The battery 131 is used to provide power to the atomizer 200. The control module 132 can control the operation of the battery 131 and the atomizer 200 electrically connected thereto. The control module 132 is electrically connected to the battery 131.

[0104] It should be understood that the aforementioned prevention of condensation from damaging the circuit structure can be understood as preventing condensation from damaging the electrical connection between battery 131 and the two connecting electrodes. Furthermore, it can be understood as preventing condensation from damaging the electrical connection between battery 131 and control module 132. Furthermore, it can be understood as preventing condensation from damaging the electrical connection within the control module 132.

[0105] In this embodiment, the battery 131 is disposed between the control module 132 and the connecting component 110 .

[0106] Specifically, the battery 131 and the sidewall of the housing 120 define an air inlet passage 140 . The control module 132 can be fixed within the housing 120 via a bracket or other structure and defines a connection hole that connects the air inlet hole 121 and the air inlet passage 140 .

[0107] In some other optional embodiments, the control module 132 may also be disposed between the battery 131 and the connecting component 110 .

[0108] In some embodiments, the power supply module 100 also includes at least one limiting member 150, which can be arranged between the main body 111 and the battery 131, and / or, between the battery 131 and the control module 132, for limiting the axial position of the battery 131 in the power supply module 100.

[0109] A plurality of limiting members such as ribs and lugs may also be formed on the circumference of the inner wall of the housing 120 to limit the radial position of the battery 131 within the housing 120 .

[0110] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the present application also constructs an atomization device, which can include an atomizer 200 and the power supply module 100 of any of the above embodiments. The atomizer 200 can be detachably connected to the power supply module 100. The atomizer 200 contains an aerosol-generating matrix that can be heated and atomized to form an aerosol for use by the user.

[0111] like Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the nebulizer 200 includes a liquid storage chamber 230, an atomizing assembly 210, an electrical connection assembly 220, and an air outlet channel 240. The liquid storage chamber 230 contains an aerosol generating matrix. The liquid storage chamber 230 can be connected to the atomizing assembly 210, and the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage chamber 230 can flow to the atomizing assembly 210 for atomization. The electrical connection assembly 220 is electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 210 and is used to be electrically connected to the power supply module 100. The power supply module 100 can be electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 210 through the electrical connection assembly 220. The atomizing assembly 210 can heat the aerosol generating matrix and atomize it under the power supply of the power supply module 100. The upstream of the air outlet channel 240 is connected to the connecting channel 1111, and the aerosol formed by atomization can be discharged out of the nebulizer 200 through the air outlet channel for use by the user.

[0112] exist Figures 6 to 9 In one specific atomizing device of the present application, the atomizer 200 is cylindrical in shape. When the atomizer 200 is assembled with the power supply module 100, the lower end of the atomizer 200 can be accommodated in the assembly cavity 122 of the housing 120 of the power supply module 100, and the atomizer 200 and the power supply module 100 are coaxially arranged.

[0113] The electrical connection assembly 220 of the atomizer 200 can be disposed between the atomizer assembly 210 and the connection assembly 110. The electrical connection assembly 220 is electrically connected to the atomizer assembly 210 and the connection assembly 110, respectively. The power supply assembly 130 can supply power to the atomizer assembly 210 through the connection assembly 110 and the atomizer assembly 210.

[0114] exist Figure 7 In the perspective shown, the electrical connection assembly 220 is located at the bottom end of the atomization assembly 210 .

[0115] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomization assembly 210 includes an atomization element 211 and an electrode lead. There are at least two electrode leads, which can be electrically connected to the atomization element 211 and the electrical connection assembly 220 respectively.

[0116] In this embodiment, the number of electrode leads in the atomizing assembly 210 is two, which are respectively defined as a first electrode lead 212 and a second electrode lead 213. The electrical connection assembly 220 may include a third connection electrode 221 and a fourth connection electrode 222.

[0117] The third connection electrode 221 is electrically connected to the first connection electrode 112 and the first electrode lead 212 , respectively. The fourth connection electrode 222 is electrically connected to the second connection electrode 113 and the second electrode lead 213 , respectively.

[0118] Among them, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 are insulated from each other.

[0119] For example, the fourth connection electrode 222 is sleeved outside the third connection electrode 221 , and both are coaxially disposed with the atomizer 200 and the power supply module 100 , respectively.

[0120] It should be understood that since the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 are nested with each other, the distance between the sidewall of the third connection electrode 221 and the axis of the atomizer 200 is smaller than the distance between the sidewall of the fourth connection electrode 222 and the axis of the atomizer 200 .

[0121] For a power supply module 100 in which the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and their extension direction is parallel to the axis of the main body 111 (the axis of the power supply module 100), the present application sets the distance between the first connection electrode 112 and the axis of the main body 111 (the axis of the power supply module 100) to be smaller than the distance between the second connection electrode 113 and the axis of the main body 111 (the axis of the power supply module 100). This can achieve a positional correspondence with the mutually nested third connection electrode 221 and fourth connection electrode 222. At the same time, the mutually nested third connection electrode 221 and fourth connection electrode 222 can also serve as the bottom wall of the atomizer 200.

[0122] At the same time, because the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 are nested with each other, the first connection electrode 112 needs to be closer to the axis of the atomization device than the second connection electrode. Therefore, for the power supply module 100 in some embodiments of the present application, at least part of the connection channel 1111 (in some specific embodiments, the connection hole 1113) is arranged on the side of the first connection electrode 112 away from the second connection electrode 113, so that the horizontal connection line of the three is arranged in a straight line passing through the axis, which can effectively utilize the space outside the first connection electrode 112. Therefore, the space occupied by the main body 111 can be reduced, achieving structural miniaturization while avoiding the impact of condensation on the circuit.

[0123] When the atomizer 200 and the power supply module 100 are assembled with each other, the atomizer 200 is inserted into the assembly cavity 122 of the power supply module 100. The third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 of the atomizer 200, which serve as the bottom wall, can directly abut against the connection component 110 located at the top of the power supply module 100. Because the top ends of the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 of the connection component 110 extend outside the main body 111, the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 can respectively abut against the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222, thereby achieving electrical connection between the connection component 110 and the electrical connection component 220.

[0124] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, by configuring the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 to nest with each other, the user does not need to pay attention to the assembly angle during the assembly of the atomizer 200 and the power supply module 100. Regardless of the circumferential angle at which the atomizer 200 is assembled to the power supply module 100, or how the atomizer 200 is rotated, the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 can achieve electrical connection with the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113. This facilitates the user's replacement of the atomizer 200 and improves the user experience.

[0125] For the power supply module 100 equipped with the magnetic element 114, the magnetic element 114 can utilize the magnetism of the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 to apply a downward magnetic attraction force to the atomizer 200. This configuration can improve the stability of the electrical connection between the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113 and the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222, thereby preventing poor contact.

[0126] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 can both be cylindrical structures with two ends through. When the two are placed together, the overall structure formed is also cylindrical with two ends through. Figure 7 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the space extending through the middle of the cylindrical portion can serve as a partial section of the air outlet channel 240 (specifically, in this embodiment, the upstream end section of the air outlet channel 240). When the atomizer 200 is assembled with the power supply module 100, the connection channel 1111 (specifically, the connection groove 1114) of the power supply module 100 communicates with the hollow space extending through both ends of the third connection electrode 221, thereby achieving communication between the air passages within the power supply module 100 and the air passages within the atomizer 200.

[0127] It should be understood that for the power supply module 100 in which the condensation chamber 1112 is arranged between the first connection electrode 112 and the second connection electrode 113. Since the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 are arranged in a mutually nested manner, the first connection electrode 112 needs to be closer to the axis of the atomization device than the second connection electrode. Therefore, the axis of the condensation chamber 1112 may exist at a distance from the axis of the atomization device (parallel and spaced), and there may be at least a portion of the condensation chamber 1112 that does not correspond to the air outlet channel 240. However, this cannot be regarded as a portion of the air outlet channel 240 that does not correspond to the condensation chamber 1112.

[0128] In some other optional embodiments, the condensation chamber 1112 can be set between the first connecting electrode 112 and the second connecting electrode 113, and the size and position of the condensation chamber 1112 can be set so that the condensation chamber 1112 and the atomization device are coaxially arranged, and the condensation chamber 1112 and the air outlet channel 240 correspond to each other and completely correspond to each other.

[0129] In other optional embodiments, the third connecting electrode 221 and the fourth connecting electrode 222 may also be configured as an annular sheet or other shapes. Alternatively, they may be configured as a block or other shaped sheet. The third connecting electrode 221 and the fourth connecting electrode 222 may also be disposed on opposite sides of the axis of the atomizer 200, and together serve as the bottom wall of the atomizer 200, defining the upstream section of the gas outlet channel 240.

[0130] In some other optional embodiments, the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 may be cylindrical, and the other may be block-shaped. The cylindrical structure is sleeved outside the block structure, and the gas outlet channel 240 is provided outside the electrical connection component 220.

[0131] In other optional embodiments, when the number of electrode leads in the atomizer assembly 210 is three or more, the number of connection electrodes in the electrical connection assembly 220 can also be correspondingly set to three or more. Correspondingly, the number of connection electrodes in the connection assembly 110 in the power supply module 100 can also be correspondingly set to three or more.

[0132] Continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 9 The third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 are insulated from each other and a cylindrical insulating member 223 may be provided between the two to achieve mutual insulation. An insulating coating may also be applied circumferentially between the two to achieve an insulating effect.

[0133] It should be understood that the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 can be made of a material having conductive properties. When the atomization device includes a power supply module 100 provided with a magnetic element 114, the third connection electrode 221 and the fourth connection electrode 222 can also be made of a material having conductive properties and magnetic properties. This is not specifically limited here.

[0134] It should be understood that the shape of the atomizing element 211 in the atomizing assembly 210 can be cylindrical and arranged coaxially with the atomizing device (or parallel to the axis and spaced apart), or it can be set to other shapes such as block, which is not specifically limited here.

[0135] 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. For those skilled in the art of the present application, based on the concept of the present application, they can also make some simple deductions, modifications or substitutions.
