[0072] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present application. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0073] See Figure 1One embodiment of the present application provides a combined aerosol generating device 100 (hereinafter referred to as device 100), which can convert at least two atomizable substrates into a mixed aerosol. The at least two atomizable substrates can be liquids and / or powders. Specifically, the device 100 can be an electronic cigarette, and correspondingly, the at least two atomizable substrates can be at least two types of tobacco oils. In addition, the device 100 can also be an aromatherapy machine, and correspondingly, the at least two atomizable substrates can be at least two types of aromatherapy essential oils. The device 100 can also be a medical nebulizer, and correspondingly, the at least two atomizable substrates can be at least two medicinal liquids with therapeutic effects. The device 100 can also be a disinfection device, and correspondingly, the at least two atomizable substrates can be at least two solid disinfectant powders. In some embodiments, the device 100 includes a combined aerosol generating shell assembly 101 (hereinafter referred to as shell assembly 101), at least two storage components 102 provided in the shell assembly 101, and at least two atomizing cores 30 provided in the shell assembly 101. The mass storage component 102 is connected to the atomizer core 30, wherein each mass storage component 102 can be fixedly arranged on the shell assembly 101 or detachably connected to the shell assembly 101. Each atomizer core 30 can be fixedly arranged on the shell assembly 101 or detachably connected to the shell assembly 101. The shell assembly 101 includes a shell 10, an air circuit control component 40, a power supply component 50 and a circuit control component 60. The air circuit control component 40, the power supply component 50 and the circuit control component 60 are all arranged in the shell 10. The power supply component 50 is electrically connected to the air circuit control component 40 through the circuit control component 60. The circuit control component 60 is configured to selectively electrically connect the power supply component 50 and at least one atomizer core 30. The circuit control component 60 is also configured to control the air circuit control component 40 so that the flow channel 31 of each atomizer core 30 that is electrically connected to the power supply component 50 is connected to the external environment. That is, the air circuit control component 40 controls each atomizer core 30 powered by the power supply component 50 to be connected to the external environment. Through the above modular design, the device 100 is easy to maintain and replace components, which is conducive to improving service life and economy. At the same time, the design of the air circuit control component 40 and the circuit control component 60 is conducive to simplifying the control of the aerosol generation process, improving the reliability and efficiency of the device 100. Among them, the mass storage component 102 is used to store an atomizable matrix. Each atomizer core 30 is used to convert an atomizable matrix into an aerosol. That is, the air circuit control component 40 controls each atomizer core 30 powered by the power supply component 50 to be connected to the external environment.

[0074] It is understandable that the combined aerosol generating device 100 of the present application is configured to be equipped with at least two atomizing cores 30 , and the user can install at least one atomizing core 30 as needed.

[0075] It is understandable that the combined aerosol generating device 100 of the present application can also convert an atomizable matrix into an aerosol, and in this case, only one atomizing core 30 is working.

[0076] For example, there are two storage components 102, and each storage component 102 stores an atomizable matrix. There are two atomizer cores 30, and the circuit control component 60 controls the power supply component 50 to connect to each atomizer core 30. Each atomizer core 30 converts the atomizable matrix in a storage component 102 into an aerosol. The two atomizer cores 30 can convert the two atomizable matrices into two aerosols, and the two aerosols can be mixed to obtain a mixed aerosol. At the same time, the air path control component 40 controls the external environment to be connected to each of the above-mentioned atomizer cores 30, so that the air in the external environment can be mixed with each of the above-mentioned aerosols. That is, the combination of the two atomizer cores 30 working in parallel and the air path control component 40 enables the device 100 to generate two aerosols at the same time and output them after mixing, which is conducive to improving the flexibility and functionality of the device 100. In other embodiments, at least two types of atomizable substrates are stored in a storage component 102 , and the atomization conditions of all atomizable substrates in the storage component 102 are the same. Therefore, one atomization core 30 can be used to atomize all types of atomizable substrates in the storage component 102 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the atomizer core 30 is a heated evaporation atomizer core, which provides current to a heating element such as a resistance wire through the power supply component 50, so that the atomizable matrix evaporates to form an aerosol. The circuit control component 60 selectively electrically connects different atomizer cores 30 by switching different circuit paths. The circuit control component 60 has multiple switches or relays inside, which can direct the power of the power supply component 50 to a specific atomizer core 30 according to a preset program or user selection. For example, the device 100 is provided with multiple mode selection buttons. When the user selects "Mode 1", the circuit control component 60 will close the circuit connected to one atomizer core 30 and power it; when "Mode 2" is selected, it switches to powering two atomizer cores 30. In this way, the circuit control component 60 realizes selective control of the atomizer core 30.

[0078] See Figure 2In some embodiments, each mass storage component 102 and an atomizer core 30 are assembled structures, that is, the atomizer core 30 and the mass storage component 102 are assembled together. The atomizer core 30 is disposed in the mass storage component 102. The atomizer core 30 defines a flow channel 31. The atomizer core 30 can be used to heat and evaporate the atomizable matrix to form an aerosol. The aerosol can be discharged from the atomizer core 30 through the flow channel 31. In this way, the assembly design of the atomizer core 30 and the mass storage component 102 is conducive to simplifying the structure of the device 100, reducing the risk of leakage at the connection part of the atomizer core 30 and the mass storage component 102, and improving the efficiency and reliability of aerosol generation.

[0079] See Figure 3 In other embodiments, each mass storage component 102 and an atomizing core 30 are separate structures, and the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizing core 30 are detachably arranged on the shell 10. A mass guide groove 114 is provided in the shell 10. The mass guide groove 114 can connect the mass storage component 102 and the atomizing core 30, so that the atomizable matrix in the mass storage component 102 enters the atomizing core 30 through the mass guide groove 114. The atomizing core 30 heats and evaporates the atomizable matrix to form an aerosol, and the aerosol can be discharged from the atomizing core 30 through the flow channel 31 in the atomizing core 30. In this way, the separate structural design makes the maintenance and cleaning of the device 100 more convenient, and the user can replace different mass storage components 102 and / or atomizing cores 30 as needed, which increases the flexibility of use of the device 100 and extends its service life. Please refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, the housing 10 is generally rectangular and includes a main body 11, a nozzle 12, and a base 13. The nozzle 12 and the base 13 are connected to opposite ends of the main body 11, respectively. The main body 11 is provided with a receiving chamber 111, in which the atomizer core 30 and the mass storage component 102 are accommodated. The base 13 is provided with a receiving space 131, in which the air path control component 40, the power supply component 50, and the circuit control component 60 are disposed. The nozzle 12 is provided with at least one exhaust port 122, which communicates with the receiving chamber 111. The exhaust port 122 communicates with the flow channel 31 to facilitate the discharge of aerosol from the nozzle 12. The base 13 is provided with a main air inlet, which communicates with the receiving space 131, and the receiving space 131 communicates with each flow channel 31. The nozzle 12 and / or the base 13 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the main body 11 by welding, riveting, gluing, or the like. In other embodiments, the nozzle 12 and / or the base 13 are detachably connected to opposite ends of the main body 11 by means of a snap connection, a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, or the like.

[0080] In some embodiments, the main body 11 has a length direction A and a thickness direction B. The mouthpiece 12 is provided with two exhaust ports 122. There are two atomizing cores 30, and the flow channels 31 of the two atomizing cores 30 are arranged in parallel. That is, the two atomizing cores 30 are arranged side by side in the thickness direction B, and the front and rear ends of the two are respectively connected together to form two flow channels 31 parallel to the length direction A. Each flow channel 31 is relatively independent and operates independently, with little influence on each other. Among them, one end of each flow channel 31 is connected to an exhaust port 122, and the ends of the two exhaust ports 122 away from the flow channel 31 are connected. The flow channels 31 arranged in parallel are conducive to ensuring the stability and efficiency of aerosol generation, and the design of the two exhaust ports 122 is conducive to the rapid discharge of aerosol.

[0081] See Figure 4 In other embodiments, the mouthpiece 12 is provided with an exhaust port 122. There are two atomizer cores 30, and the flow channels 31 of the two atomizer cores 30 are arranged in series. That is, the two atomizer cores 30 are connected in the length direction A. The front end of one atomizer core 30 is connected to the rear end of the other atomizer core 30, forming two flow channels 31 that are connected in sequence. That is, the two flow channels 31 are arranged end to end in sequence to form a single path. The output end of the first of the two flow channels 31 directly becomes the input end of the second of the two flow channels 31, and the output end of the second of the two flow channels 31 is connected to the exhaust port 122 of the mouthpiece 12. The two atomizer cores 30 arranged in series ensure that part of the aerosol does not need to flow through both flow channels 31 to reach the exhaust port 122, which helps to increase the flow path of the aerosol, thereby increasing the contact time with the air during the generation process, facilitating the full mixing and uniform distribution of the aerosol, and improving the quality and consistency of the aerosol.

[0082] See Figure 5 In other embodiments, the nozzle 12 is provided with two exhaust ports 122. The number of atomizer cores 30 is three. The flow channels 31 of two of the three atomizer cores 30 are arranged in series in the length direction A and connected to one exhaust port 122 of the two exhaust ports 122. The flow channel 31 of another atomizer core 30 of the three atomizer cores 30 is arranged in parallel with the flow channels 31 of the previous two atomizer cores 30 in the thickness direction B and connected to the other exhaust port 122 of the two exhaust ports 122. That is, the three atomizer cores 30 are connected in a mixed manner of series and parallel connection.

[0083] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the number of the atomizer cores 30 may be four or more, and the atomizer cores 30 may be connected in parallel, in series, or in a mixed manner (that is, a mixture of series and parallel).

[0084] See Figure 7In other embodiments, the number of atomizer cores 30 is eight, i.e., there are a total of eight flow channels 31. Three of the eight flow channels 31 are connected in series to form a main channel 31a. The other five of the eight flow channels 31 are connected to opposite sides of the main channel 31a. One end of the main channel 31a is connected to the exhaust port 122, and the other end of the main channel 31a is connected to the air channel control component 40. In this way, the eight flow channels 31 are connected in a roughly fishbone diagram arrangement, which facilitates the sequential mixing of different aerosols. Specifically, for the different aerosols in the two flow channels 31 near the air path control component 40, they can preferentially enter the main path 31a and be preferentially mixed to obtain a pre-mixed aerosol. Then, during the flow of the pre-mixed aerosol in the main path 31a, the aerosol in a flow channel 31 near the exhaust port 122 enters the main path 31a and is mixed with the pre-mixed aerosol to obtain a secondary mixed aerosol. In this way, by designing the eight flow channels 31 of the eight atomizing cores 30 to be connected in a fishbone diagram, the mixing order and mixing time of different types of aerosols can be achieved, which is conducive to meeting different needs. For example, for an aromatherapy machine, the control of the generation order of aerosols and the grasp of the mixing timing enable the aromatherapy machine to simulate a fragrance with distinct layers and rich variations like perfume, satisfying the user's pursuit of a diversified and personalized fragrance experience. In this way, users can choose an aerosol combination with a fresh top note, a romantic middle note and a tranquil base note in different moods or scenes to obtain the fragrance enjoyment that best suits their current needs.

[0085] See Figure 6 In other embodiments, the main body 11 is provided with a window 112, which is connected to the accommodating chamber 111. The window 112 is provided with a detachable transparent protective cover 113, thereby facilitating the removal of the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 from the accommodating chamber 111, or the placement of the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 into the accommodating chamber 111. In addition, a transparent window is designed on the mass storage component 102 so that the user can observe the remaining amount of the atomizable matrix at any time through the transparent protective cover 113 and the transparent window. Among them, the window 112 is provided corresponding to the suction nozzle 12, and the process of assembling and disassembling the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 includes: first separating the suction nozzle 12 and the main body 11 so that the window 112 is exposed, and then the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 is loaded into the accommodating chamber 111 through the window 112, or taken out of the accommodating chamber 111 through the window 112. Finally, the nozzle 12 and the main body 11 are connected so that the window 112 is covered.

[0086] In other embodiments, the window 112 is provided corresponding to the base 13, and the process of installing and removing the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 includes: first separating the base 13 and the main body 11 to expose the window 112, then installing the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 into the accommodating cavity 111 through the window 112, or removing the mass storage component 102 and / or the atomizer core 30 from the accommodating cavity 111 through the window 112. Finally, connecting the base 13 and the main body 11 to cover the window 112.

[0087] Please see again Figure 3 In other embodiments, the mass storage component 102 is provided with a first identification member 103, and the atomizing core 30 is provided with a second identification member 32. The first identification member 103 is paired with the second identification member 32 one by one. That is, each first identification member 103 corresponds to a second identification member 32, so that each atomizing core 30 corresponds to a mass storage component 102. This makes it convenient to adapt the atomizable matrix in each mass storage component 102 to the heating power of the atomizing core 30. For example, the heating wire of each atomizing core 30 has a rated heating power, which satisfies the requirement of heating and evaporating an atomizable matrix in a mass storage component 102 to form an aerosol. When the mass storage component 102 is provided with a first identification member 103, the atomizing core 30 needs to be provided with a second identification member 32 that is paired with the first identification member 103.

[0088] For example, the first identification member 103 includes patterns such as a red square, a blue square, and a green square, and the second identification member 32 includes patterns such as a red circle, a blue circle, and a green circle. Geometric patterns of the same color are designed to pair with each other. When the user selects a paired mass storage component 102 and atomizer core 30, they only need to select a geometric pattern of the same color, such as a mass storage component 102 with a red square and an atomizer core 30 with a red circle.

[0089] In other embodiments, the first identification member 103 includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, and the second identification member 32 includes an identifier. When the RFID tag enters the identification range of the identifier, the identifier will emit a radio frequency signal of a specific frequency. After receiving this radio frequency signal, the RFID tag will use the energy obtained from the induced current to send out the identification information stored in itself. After receiving this feedback information, the identifier interprets and analyzes it to determine whether the identifier is paired with the RFID tag, that is, whether the identification storage component 102 is paired with the atomizer core 30. If paired, the circuit control component 60 can control the atomizer core 30 to heat the atomizable matrix in the storage component 102. If it does not match, the circuit control component 60 controls the atomizer core 30 not to heat the atomizable matrix in the storage component 102. This is conducive to achieving intelligent automatic control. The identifier is specifically a radio frequency identification reader / writer, and the radio frequency identification tag specifically includes a chip and an antenna. The chip is used to store and process data, and the antenna is used to receive and transmit radio frequency signals to communicate with the reader / writer.

[0090] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the air path control component 40 includes a first rotary air path switching valve 41 (hereinafter referred to as the first switching valve 41), and the first switching valve 41 includes a valve body 411 and a valve core 412 rotatably disposed in the valve body 411. The valve body 411 is provided with a plurality of first openings 411a and a second opening 411b. The flow channel 31 of each atomizer core 30 is connected to a first opening 411a, and each second opening 411b is connected to the external environment. The valve core 412 is provided with a plurality of channels 412a. When it is necessary to connect a specified flow channel 31 with the external environment, it is only necessary to rotate the valve core 412 so that the specified channel 412a is connected to the specified first opening 411a and the second opening 411b. In this way, the connection between the specified flow channel 31 and the external environment is achieved (see Figure 7 When it is necessary to disconnect the designated flow channel 31 from the external environment, the valve core 412 is simply rotated again so that the designated channel 412a is offset from the first opening 411a and / or the second opening 411b, thereby disconnecting the designated flow channel 31 from the external environment (see Figure 8 For example, the valve core 412 may be a rotating body, wherein the rotating body or dial is driven by a motor controlled by the circuit control component 60. In other embodiments, the air circuit control component 40 further comprises a solenoid valve, a ball valve, a butterfly valve, a needle valve, a slide valve, a diaphragm valve, a check valve, or a manual knob valve. It is understood that the number of second openings 411b may be one.

[0091] Please see again Figure 1In some embodiments, the circuit control component 60 controls the operation of the air circuit control component 40 by sending an electrical signal to the motor of the air circuit control component 40. When the power supply component 50 supplies power to the atomizer core 30, the circuit control component 60 simultaneously sends a specific electrical signal to the motor of the air circuit control component 40. After the motor starts, it drives the valve core 412 to rotate, so that the channel 412a connects to the designated first opening 411a and second opening 411b, allowing the flow channel 31 of the atomizer core 30 to communicate with the external environment. For example, when the circuit control component 60 detects that the power supply component 50 starts to supply power to a certain atomizer core 30, the circuit control component 60 will immediately send a high-level signal to the motor of the air circuit control component 40, prompting the motor in the air circuit control component 40 to rotate and open the air channel.

[0092] In some embodiments, the circuit control component 60 includes a circuit board 61 and multiple airflow switches 62 electrically connected to the circuit board 61. Each airflow switch 62 is disposed within a flow channel 31. The airflow switch 31 disposed within the flow channel 31 is used to detect changes in airflow or air pressure within the flow channel 31. The circuit board 61 determines whether the flow channel 31 is connected to the external environment based on the changes in airflow or air pressure. If the atomizer core 30 having the flow channel 31 is connected to the external environment, the circuit board 61 controls each atomizer core 30 connected to the external environment to be electrically connected to the power supply component 50. The multiple airflow switches 62 include microphones. The power supply component 50 includes a battery.

[0093] For example, when a user connects a designated flow channel 31 to the outside environment via the first switching valve 41, the airflow switch 62 senses the change in airflow. The airflow switch 62 transmits the sensed airflow or air pressure change to the circuit board 61. After receiving this information, the circuit board 61 determines whether the flow channel 31 is connected to the outside environment based on pre-set logic and algorithms. Once the circuit board 61 determines that the flow channel 31 is connected to the outside environment, it connects the power supply 50 to the heating element of the atomizer core 30. The power supply 50 then provides electrical energy to the heating element, which converts the electrical energy into heat, thereby heating and evaporating the atomizable substrate and forming an aerosol. In another embodiment, the first switching valve 41 also includes a position sensor or encoder connected to the valve core 412. The position sensor or encoder generates different electrical signals during rotation. Based on these signals, the circuit board 61 selects the appropriate atomizer core 30 to convert the atomizable substrate into aerosol. For example, the position sensor can accurately detect the rotational position of the valve core 412 and, when it rotates to a specific angle, sends a corresponding electrical signal to the circuit board 61. The encoder continuously outputs coded signals during rotation. The circuit board 61 interprets these coded signals to determine the current state of the valve core 412 and, in turn, select the appropriate atomizer core 30 for operation. Thus, simply rotating the valve core 412 controls the connection between the flow channel 31 and the external environment, as well as the selection of the appropriate atomizer core 30, facilitating more intelligent and precise control of aerosol generation.

[0094] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 In other embodiments, the air circuit control component 40 includes a second rotary air circuit switching valve 42 (hereinafter referred to as the second switching valve 42), and the second switching valve 42 includes a fixed plate 421, a movable plate 422, and a rotating shaft 423. The rotating shaft 423 is connected between the fixed plate 421 and the movable plate 422. The movable plate 422 can rotate relative to the fixed plate 421 around the rotating shaft 423. The fixed plate 421 is provided with a plurality of third openings 421a. Each third opening 421a is connected to the flow channel 31 of an atomizer core 30. The movable plate 422 is provided with a plurality of fourth openings 422a. Each fourth opening 422a is connected to the external environment. During the rotation of the movable plate 422 relative to the fixed plate 421, multiple corresponding communication relationships are established between the plurality of fourth openings 422a and the plurality of third openings 421a. For example, two fourth openings 422a are connected to two third openings 421a, respectively, so that the flow passages 31 of two atomizer cores 30 are connected to the external environment; or three fourth openings 422a are connected to three third openings 421a, respectively, so that the flow passages 31 of three atomizer cores 30 are connected to the external environment. In this way, the flow passage 31 is connected and the atomizer core 30 is selected through the rotation.

[0095] See Figure 12In other embodiments, the air path control component 40 includes a toggle switch 43, which includes a fixed portion 431 and a movable portion 432. The movable portion 432 is slidably disposed on one side of the fixed portion 431. The fixed portion 431 is provided with two spaced fifth openings 431a. The end of the fifth opening 431a facing away from the movable portion 432 communicates with the flow channel 31 of the atomizer core 30. The movable portion 432 is provided with two spaced sixth openings 432a. The end of the sixth opening 432a facing away from the fixed portion 431 communicates with the external environment. The movable portion 432 has two positions relative to the fixed portion 431. The first position includes: the centerline of the movable portion 432 is offset from the centerline of the fixed portion 431, such that one of the fifth openings 431a communicates with one of the sixth openings 432a, while the other fifth opening 431a is blocked by the movable portion 432. The second position state includes: the centerline of the movable portion 432 coincides with the centerline of the fixed portion 431, so that the two fifth openings 431a are connected to the two second openings 432a. In this way, by toggling the movable portion 432, the flow channel 31 of the atomizer core 30 can be selectively connected to the external environment. Furthermore, the toggle switch 43 is also equipped with a position sensor, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 61. This position sensor is used to sense the position of the movable portion 432 relative to the fixed portion 431. The circuit board 61 controls the power supply component 50 to the atomizer core 30 based on this position state. For example, in the first position state, the circuit board 61 controls the power supply component 50 to supply power to the atomizer core 30 connected to the external environment. In the second position state, the circuit board 61 controls the power supply component 50 to supply power to both atomizer cores 30 connected to the external environment.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
