DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0037] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed on” or “disposed on” another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0038] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0040] The atomization device generally includes an atomizer and a battery assembly. The battery assembly is used to power the atomizer, and the atomizer is used to heat and atomize the atomizing medium to form an aerosol after being powered on. The atomizer generally absorbs the atomizing medium in the liquid storage chamber through a heating element, and heats and atomizes the atomizing medium to form an aerosol. However, when the atomizing medium in the heating element is not heated and atomized in time, the atomizing medium will drip downward, and the atomizing medium will be wasted, which not only results in a low atomization rate of the atomizing medium, but also causes the first air inlet to be blocked.

[0041] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention provides an atomizer 100 and an atomizing device. By disposing a liquid absorbing member 150 below the heating element 140 and a liquid storage tank 111 below the liquid absorbing member 150, any atomized medium in the heating element 140 that is not promptly atomized will be absorbed by the liquid absorbing member 150, and any atomized medium that drips from the liquid absorbing member 150 will also be stored in the liquid storage tank 111. When a user draws on the atomizer 100, the atomized medium in the liquid storage tank 111 is absorbed by the liquid absorbing member 150 and heated and atomized by the heating element 140, thereby improving the atomization rate of the atomized medium.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The atomizer device provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described. The atomizer device includes an atomizer 100 and a battery assembly 200. The battery assembly 200 is electrically connected to the atomizer 100 and is used to power the atomizer 100. When powered, the atomizer 100 is used to heat and atomize the atomizing medium stored therein to form an aerosol for inhalation by the user.

[0043] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the atomizer 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described.

[0044] The atomizer 100 has an atomization channel 1021, in which a heating element 140, a liquid absorbing element 150, and a liquid storage tank 111 are disposed. The liquid absorbing element 150 is disposed below the heating element 140 and is connected to the heating element 140. The liquid storage tank 111 is disposed below the liquid absorbing element 150 to at least receive and store liquid dripping from the liquid absorbing element 150.

[0045] Among them, the heating element 140 is the main core component of the atomizer 100. The heating element 140 is arranged in the atomization channel 1021. The heating element 140 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 200. When the heating element 140 is powered on, it generates heat to heat the atomization medium and atomize it to form an aerosol, and the aerosol is output along the atomization channel 1021.

[0046] The liquid absorbing member 150 is a structural member that can absorb liquid and lock a certain amount of liquid. The liquid absorbing member 150 is generally a porous structure, which absorbs and locks the liquid through the capillary action of the porous structure. The liquid absorbing member 150 is arranged below the heating element 140. When the atomized medium in the heating element 140 is not atomized in time, it will drip onto the liquid absorbing member 150 and be absorbed and locked by the liquid absorbing member 150. In addition, when the aerosol in the atomization channel 1021 is not discharged outward in time, the condensed liquid after the aerosol condenses in the atomization channel 1021 will also be absorbed by the liquid absorbing member 150. In addition, the liquid absorbing member 150 is connected to the heating element 140. When the user draws air from the atomizer 100, the atomized medium in the liquid absorbing member 150 can be sucked back into the heating element 140 under the capillary action and heated and atomized by the heating element 140.

[0047] The liquid reservoir 111 is located below the wicking element 150 to at least receive and store liquid dripping from the wicking element 150. Specifically, when a large amount of atomized medium drips from the heating element 140 and the wicking element 150 absorbs a large amount of condensed liquid, causing the wicking element 150 to be overloaded, liquid may drip from the wicking element 150 into the liquid reservoir 111 for storage. Alternatively, condensed liquid from the aerosol may flow directly into the liquid reservoir 111.

[0048] The atomizer 100 in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a liquid absorbing component 150 below the heating element 140, and the liquid absorbing component 150 is connected to the heating element 140, so that the liquid absorbing component 150 can absorb the atomized medium that has not been atomized in time by the heating element 140 and the aerosol condensate that has not been discharged in time, and a liquid storage tank 111 is provided below the liquid absorbing component 150, so that the liquid dripping from the liquid absorbing component 150 can be received and stored in the liquid storage tank 111. When the atomizer 100 is sucked, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 111 can be sucked back to the heating element 140 through the liquid absorbing component 150 and heated and atomized by the heating element 140, thereby improving the atomization rate of the atomized medium, reducing the waste of the atomized medium, and also reducing the blockage of the first air inlet 1022.

[0049] In some embodiments, the heating element 140 at least partially abuts against the inner wall of the atomizing channel 1021, the liquid absorbing element 150 at least partially abuts against the inner wall of the atomizing channel 1021, and the liquid storage tank 111 is in communication with the inner wall of the atomizing channel 1021. The above arrangement allows the atomized medium overflowing from the heating element 140 to flow downward along the inner wall of the atomizing channel 1021, for example, to flow toward the liquid absorbing element 150 or into the liquid storage tank 111; at the same time, the atomized medium overflowing from the liquid absorbing element 150 can also flow downward along the inner wall of the atomizing channel 1021 into the liquid storage tank 111, thereby reducing the possibility of liquid dripping and splashing.

[0050] As an example, see Figure 3 The atomizing channel 1021 is a cylindrical atomizing channel 1021, the heating element 140 and the liquid absorbing component 150 are both cylindrical, the outer circumference of the heating element 140 is arranged in contact with the inner circumference of the atomizing channel 1021, the outer circumference of the liquid absorbing component 150 is arranged in contact with the inner circumference of the atomizing channel 1021, and the heating element 140 and the liquid absorbing component 150 are in contact with each other along the axial direction of the atomizing channel 1021. The above arrangement allows the liquid dripping downward from the heating element 140 to flow along the inner circumference of the atomizing channel 1021 to the liquid absorbing component 150, that is, the liquid absorbing component 150 can absorb most of the liquid dripping from the heating element 140, thereby preventing the liquid from falling into the first air inlet channel 1022 and blocking the first air inlet channel 1022. It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present application, the atomization channel 1021 may also have other shapes, such as an elliptical or square cross-section, and the heating element 140 and the liquid absorbing element 150 may also have a block structure.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The atomizer 100 also has a liquid storage chamber 101, which is used to store the atomizing medium. A liquid inlet is provided between the liquid storage chamber 101 and the atomizing channel 1021. The outer peripheral surface of the heating element 140 is the liquid inlet surface, and the inner peripheral surface of the heating element 140 is the atomizing surface. The liquid inlet surface is attached to the position of the atomizing channel 1021 with the liquid inlet to communicate with the liquid storage chamber 101, and the atomizing surface is connected to the atomizing channel 1021. The atomizing medium in the liquid storage chamber 101 enters the heating element 140 through the liquid inlet surface of the heating element 140. After the heating element 140 is powered on, it is heated to heat the atomizing medium and form an aerosol on the atomizing surface. The aerosol is discharged outward through the atomizing channel 1021.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The heating element 140 is cylindrical, with the outer circumference of the heating element 140 serving as the liquid inlet surface and the inner circumference of the heating element 140 serving as the atomizing surface. A liquid wicking member 150 is disposed below the heating element 140 and is positioned away from the hollow portion of the heating element 140, allowing intake air to enter the hollow portion of the heating element 140 through the away portion of the liquid wicking member 150 and carry the aerosol out.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The liquid absorbent member 150 is cylindrical, and the top surface of the liquid absorbent member 150 abuts against the bottom surface of the heating element 140. The bottom air intake can flow to the hollow position of the heating element 140 through the hollow position of the liquid absorbent member 150, thereby carrying the aerosol upward.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The liquid absorbing element 150 has a first central hole 151, and the heating element 140 has a second central hole 141. The atomizing surface is the inner circumference of the second central hole 141. The atomizing channel 1021 is sequentially provided through the first and second central holes 151, 141. The inner diameter of the first central hole 151 is larger than that of the second central hole 141, and the outer diameter of the heating element 140 is greater than or equal to the major diameter of the liquid absorbing element 150. This arrangement allows the liquid absorbing element 150 to avoid the air intake in the longitudinal direction, ensuring smooth air intake from the bottom.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The center line of the heating element 140 coincides with the center line of the atomization channel 1021 , and the center line of the liquid absorbing element 150 coincides with the center line of the atomization channel 1021 .

[0056] In some embodiments, the absorbent member 150 may be a liquid-absorbing cotton or an oil-conducting cotton. The absorbent member 150 may be made of a fiber material. Specifically, the absorbent member 150 may be formed by combing and laying polyester fibers into a web, and then punching the fibers into a roll shape through a series of carding and needle punching processes. Alternatively, the absorbent member 150 may be made of other materials, such as meltblown polypropylene.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The heating element 140 and the liquid absorbing element 150 are sequentially arranged in the longitudinal direction of the atomizing channel 1021, and the liquid reservoir 111 is formed on the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021. By arranging the liquid reservoir 111 on the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021, the liquid in the heating element 140 and the liquid absorbing element 150 can flow into the liquid reservoir 111 under the action of gravity, and the liquid in the atomizing channel 1021 that is not discharged in time can also flow into the liquid reservoir 111.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The liquid absorbing member 150 is supported on the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021, the heating element 140 is supported on the liquid absorbing member 150, and the liquid storage tank 111 is concavely arranged from the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021. The above arrangement, on the one hand, can support the liquid absorbing member 150 and the heating element 140 in sequence through the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the liquid absorbing member 150 and the heating element 140 in the atomizing channel 1021 and simplifying the assembly structure of the liquid absorbing member 150 and the heating element 140; on the other hand, it also allows the liquid flowing downward from the liquid absorbing member 150 and the heating element 140 to flow to the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021, and then flow to the liquid storage tank 111 through the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021, and be stored in the liquid storage tank 111. It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present application, convex ribs may be provided on the bottom wall of the atomization channel 1021 to support the liquid absorbing member 150 , and then the convex ribs may be enclosed to form the liquid storage tank 111 . This is not intended to be the only limitation.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid storage tank 111 gradually decreases in the longitudinal direction from the liquid absorbing part 150 to the direction away from the liquid absorbing part 150. Among them, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid storage tank 111 refers to the area of ​​the transverse cross section of the liquid storage tank 111, the transverse direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the longitudinal direction refers to the height direction when the atomizer 100 is placed vertically. The liquid storage tank 111 has a bottom end and a top end, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid storage tank 111 gradually decreases from the top end to the bottom end. Such an arrangement makes the inner circumference of the liquid storage tank 111 tilted and inwardly contracted from the edge to the center from the top end to the bottom end, so that it can have a guiding effect on the liquid from the outside to the inside, and when the heating element 140 is heated, the liquid can also be guided from the bottom to the top through the inner circumference of the liquid storage tank 111 to be sucked back.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 Below the wicking element 150, there are multiple spaced apart liquid reservoirs 111, with adjacent reservoirs 111 separated by partition walls 1111. The wicking element 150 is supported on the partition walls 1111, and the wicking element 150 is suspended in the air at the position corresponding to the reservoir 111. This arrangement allows the liquid in the wicking element 150 to be directly introduced into the reservoir 111 along the inner circumference of the reservoir 111, or to flow into the reservoir 111 via the partition walls 1111. It is understood that in other embodiments, multiple reservoirs 111 can be formed by enclosing multiple ribs, and the wicking element 150 can then be supported by the ribs.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The absorbent member 150 is cylindrical in shape, and two liquid storage tanks 111 are provided below the absorbent member 150. The two liquid storage tanks 111 are symmetrically arranged along the centerline of the absorbent member 150. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of liquid storage tanks 111 may be three or more, and the liquid storage tanks 111 are evenly distributed along the centerline of the absorbent member 150.

[0062] In other embodiments of the present application, a liquid storage tank 111 may be provided below the liquid absorbing member 150. The liquid storage tank 111 is annular, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid storage tank 111 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid absorbing member 150. This ensures that there is still space at the bottom of the atomization channel 1021 to support the liquid absorbing member 150. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the liquid storage tank 111 may not be annular, and the liquid storage tank 111 may be formed only at a local position at the bottom of the atomization channel 1021. This is not intended to be a limitation.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 5 A first air inlet 1022 is provided at the bottom of the atomizing channel 1021. The first air inlet 1022 has a connection port 1023 communicating with the atomizing channel 1021. The connection port 1023 is higher than the bottom of the liquid reservoir 111. The first air inlet 1022 is used to transport external air into the atomizing channel 1021 to carry away the aerosol generated in the atomizing channel 1021. In this embodiment, by setting the connection port 1023 of the first air inlet 1022 higher than the bottom of the liquid reservoir 111, the liquid in the liquid reservoir 111 is prevented from flowing into the first air inlet 1022 and thereby blocking the first air inlet 1022.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The liquid storage tank 111 is concavely arranged from the bottom wall surface of the atomizing channel 1021 , and the bottom wall surface of the atomizing channel 1021 is convexly provided with an air inlet column 112 , and the first air inlet channel 1022 passes through the air inlet column 112 .

[0065] For details, please refer to Figure 3The liquid reservoir 111 has a notch and a bottom. The notch of the liquid reservoir 111 is formed on the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021. The liquid reservoir 111 extends from the notch to the bottom. The distance from the notch to the bottom is the depth of the liquid reservoir 111. The air inlet column 112 is protruding from the bottom wall of the atomizer 100. The top end of the air inlet column 112 is the connection port 1023 of the first air inlet channel 1022. The connection port 1023 of the first air inlet channel 1022 is higher than the notch of the liquid reservoir 111. This arrangement ensures that even if the liquid reservoir 111 is full of liquid, the liquid will not flow into the first air inlet channel 1022 and block the first air inlet channel 1022, further reducing the risk of the first air inlet channel 1022 being blocked. It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present application, the air intake column 112 may not be provided, and the depth of the liquid storage tank 111 may be set deeper; or the air intake column 112 may be provided, and then the liquid storage tank 111 may be formed by enclosing the ribs, and the height of the ribs only needs to be set to be lower than the height of the air intake column 112.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The liquid absorbing member 150 has a first central hole 151. The top end of the air inlet column 112 is at least partially inserted into the first central hole 151, and the outer peripheral wall of the air inlet column 112 is spaced apart from the inner peripheral wall of the liquid absorbing member 150. In this embodiment, by making the air inlet column 112 higher than the bottom end of the liquid absorbing member 150, not only is the air inlet column 112 higher than the liquid storage tank 111, preventing liquid in the liquid storage tank 111 from flowing into the first air inlet channel 1022, but liquid dripping from the liquid absorbing member 150 is also prevented from entering the first air inlet channel 1022 and thereby blocking the first air inlet channel 1022.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 5 The bottom of the first air inlet duct 1022 has at least two air inlet holes 113 connected to the first air inlet duct 1022. External air is introduced into the first air inlet duct 1022 through the at least two air inlet holes 113, so that the external airflow can be dispersed to reduce the airflow noise.

[0068] As an example, see Figure 4The bottom of the first air inlet duct 1022 has two air inlet holes 113, which are spaced apart and communicate with the first air inlet duct 1022. When two air inlet holes 113 are provided, the diameter of the air inlet holes 113 ranges from 0.7 mm to 0.8 mm. For example, the diameter of the air inlet holes 113 can be 0.7 mm, 0.71 mm, 0.72 mm, 0.73 mm, 0.74 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.76 mm, 0.77 mm, 0.78 mm, 0.79 mm, or 0.8 mm. By limiting the diameter of the air inlet holes 113, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet holes 113 is also limited, so that the air inlet holes 113 have a predetermined resistance to external air intake, reducing noise while ensuring smooth air intake. In other embodiments, when the number of the air inlet holes 113 is three, four, five or more, the total cross-sectional area of ​​each air inlet hole 113 is generally set to be equal to the total cross-sectional area of ​​the two air inlet holes 113 when there are two air inlet holes 113 as described above.

[0069] The cross-sectional shape of the air inlet 113 is preferably circular. Of course, in other cases, the cross-sectional shape of the air inlet 113 can also be elliptical, waist-shaped, racetrack-shaped or other shapes.

[0070] As another example, the bottom of the first air inlet duct 1022 has an air inlet hole 113 connected to the first air inlet duct 1022, and the diameter of the air inlet hole 113 ranges from 1.1 mm to 1.2 mm. For example, the diameter of the air inlet hole 113 can be 1.1 mm, 1.11 mm, 1.12 mm, 1.13 mm, 1.14 mm, 1.15 mm, 1.16 mm, 1.17 mm, 1.18 mm, 1.19 mm or 1.2 mm, etc.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The atomizer 100 includes an internal bracket 110 and an atomizing tube 120. The internal bracket 110 has a receiving cavity with an opening at the top, and a sealing cover 130 is installed at the top opening. The bottom of the internal bracket 110 has a first plug hole 114 connected to the receiving cavity, and the sealing cover 130 has a second plug hole 131. The atomizing tube 120 is arranged in the receiving cavity, and the top end of the atomizing tube 120 is interference-fitted with the second plug hole 131, and the bottom end of the atomizing tube 120 is plugged into the first plug hole 114. The internal bracket 110, the atomizing tube 120 and the sealing cover 130 together enclose a liquid storage cavity 101; the atomizing channel 1021 passes through the atomizing tube 120, and the bottom of the first plug hole 114 constitutes the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021. The heating element 140 and the liquid absorbing element 150 are both installed in the atomizing tube 120. The liquid reservoir 111 is formed at the bottom of the first insertion hole 114, that is, formed on the bottom wall of the atomizing channel 1021. To inject liquid, the sealing cover 130 is opened, and the atomizing medium is then injected into the liquid storage chamber 101 through the top opening.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The atomizer tube 120 is straight-cylindrical. This configuration increases the inner diameter of the atomizer channel 1021, effectively preventing blockage of the atomizer channel 1021 due to accumulation of condensate therein, thereby improving the reliability of the atomizer 100. Furthermore, the atomizer tube 120 is made of stainless steel, which can extend the service life of the atomizer tube 120 within the liquid storage chamber 101. In other embodiments of the present application, the atomizer tube 120 may not be straight-cylindrical.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The atomizer 100 also has a second air inlet 1024 and an electronic control chamber 103. The second air inlet 1024 is in communication with the external atmosphere and is also in communication with the first air inlet 1022. The external atmosphere enters the atomization channel 1021 through the second air inlet 1024 and the first air inlet 1022 in sequence. The second air inlet 1024, the first air inlet 1022, and the atomization channel 1021 constitute the main air channel 102 of the atomizer 100. The electronic control chamber 103 is used to install the battery assembly 200. The electronic control chamber 103 is spaced apart from the main air channel 102. This arrangement prevents the main air channel 102 from passing through the battery assembly 200, preventing external air from being contaminated by the battery assembly 200, thereby improving the purity of the intake air and enhancing the safety of the atomizer 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7The internal bracket 110 has a front side and a rear side in the transverse direction. The front side of the internal bracket 110 is recessed with a first groove 115, and the rear side of the internal bracket 110 is recessed with a second groove 116. The external portion of the internal bracket 110 is covered with a main housing 160. The main housing 160 is covered on the front side of the first groove 115 to form the electric control chamber 103. The main housing 160 is covered on the rear side of the second groove 116 to form a second air inlet 1024. The second air inlet 1024 is connected to the first air inlet 1022 through two air inlet holes 113.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The main shell 160 has a main air hole 161 at the bottom center, and a third air inlet duct 1025 is formed between the main shell 160 and the internal bracket 110. One end of the third air inlet duct 1025 is connected to the main air hole 161, and the other end of the third air inlet duct 1025 is connected to the second air inlet duct 1024.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The atomizer 100 further includes a nozzle 170, which is sleeved on the outside of the top end of the internal bracket 110. The nozzle 170 has a suction port 171, which is connected to the main airway 102. The gas carrying aerosol in the main airway 102 flows out through the suction port 171 for inhalation by the user.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The atomizer 100 also has a starting airway 104, which is spaced apart from the main airway 102. The starting airway 104 is connected to the airflow sensor 230, and the starting airway 104 and the main airway 102 are connected at the suction nozzle 170. In this embodiment, by separating the starting airway 104 from the main airway 102, it is possible to effectively prevent the condensate in the main airway 102 from gathering together to form condensate, which would cause the starting airway 104 to be blocked and unable to start, resulting in the entire device being scrapped. In addition, even in the case of blockage in the main airway 102, due to the independent setting of the starting airway 104, the airflow sensor 230 can be started smoothly during inhalation. When the heating element 140 starts heating, the viscosity of the atomized medium can be reduced, and the blocked device can be emptied.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The internal bracket 110 also has a mounting slot 117, which is in communication with the starting airway 104 and the electronic control chamber 103. An airflow sensor 230 is mounted in the mounting slot 117. The airflow sensor 230 is disposed outside a sealing sleeve 240 and is electrically connected to the battery assembly 200 within the electronic control chamber 103. When a user draws on the mouthpiece 170, airflow flows through the main airway 102, forming a negative pressure in the starting airway 104. The airflow sensor 230 detects the negative pressure and feeds it back to the battery assembly 200. The battery assembly 200 supplies power to the heating element 140, which generates heat to heat the atomizing medium and atomize it to form an aerosol. The aerosol is carried out by the airflow in the main airway 102 and is transmitted to the user's mouth through the suction port 171 of the mouthpiece 170.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The sealing cover 130 covers the top of the starting airway 104 and is formed with a connection hole 132 corresponding to the position of the starting airway 104. The connection hole 132 is connected to the starting airway 104. The suction nozzle 170 is covered on the outside of the internal bracket 110 and the sealing cover 130, and the inner wall of the suction nozzle 170 has a rib 173. The rib 173 abuts against the sealing cover 130. The suction nozzle 170 and the sealing cover 130 enclose and form an airflow cavity 172. The airflow cavity 172 is connected to the suction port 171 of the suction nozzle 170. The main airway 102 and the starting airway 104 are both connected to the airflow cavity 172. This arrangement can ensure the sealing connection between the starting airway 104 and the suction nozzle 170.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The battery assembly 200 includes a battery 210 and a control board 220 . The battery 210 is electrically connected to the control board 220 . The control board 220 is electrically connected to the airflow sensor 230 . The airflow sensor 230 is electrically connected to the heating element 140 .

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The first groove 115 includes a battery slot 1151 and a control slot 1152. The battery 210 is stored in the battery slot 1151, and the control board 220 is stored in the control slot 1152. A charging seat 221 is provided on the control board 220. The charging seat 221 is used to connect to an external power source to charge the atomizer 100 or exchange data.

[0082] In some embodiments, see Figure 1, the atomizing device is thin and flat, and the thickness of the atomizing device along the front-to-back direction is roughly evenly distributed. Along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing device (i.e., the up-down direction), the width of the atomizing device along the left-right direction gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. Specifically, the longitudinal cross-section of the atomizing device is composed of two isosceles trapezoids, the upper side of the upper isosceles trapezoid is short and the lower side is long, the upper side of the lower isosceles trapezoid is long and the lower side is short, the lower side of the upper isosceles trapezoid is equal to the upper side of the lower isosceles trapezoid, the upper side of the upper isosceles trapezoid is roughly equal to the lower side of the lower isosceles trapezoid, and the height of the upper isosceles trapezoid is less than the height of the lower isosceles trapezoid. The above arrangement makes the appearance of the atomizing device beautiful and easy for the user to hold.

[0083] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The liquid storage chamber 101 and the starting air passage 104 are arranged near the upper part of the atomizing device, and the starting air passage 104 and the liquid storage chamber 101 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The battery slot 1151 and the control slot 1152 are respectively arranged below the liquid storage chamber 101 and the starting air passage 104. Specifically, the battery slot 1151 is arranged below the starting air passage 104, and the battery slot 1151 and the liquid storage chamber 101 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The battery slot 1151 is arranged to cross the liquid storage chamber 101 in the longitudinal direction. The battery slot 1151 is inclined from the bottom of the starting air passage 104 to the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 101. The control slot 1152 is arranged below the liquid storage chamber 101 and spaced apart from the battery slot 1151. The control slot 1152 is roughly triangular in shape. The above layout makes the various structures in the atomizing device compact according to their external shapes.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The control slot 1152 is provided with a first hook 118, and the sidewall of the internal bracket 110 has a charging port 1153 that communicates with the control slot 1152. During assembly, the charging base 221 is first welded to the control board 220, and then the control board 220 with the charging base 221 mounted thereon is installed into the control slot 1152. Specifically, the charging base 221 is first inserted into the corresponding portion of the charging port, and then the control board 220 is pressed downward, so that the control board 220 overcomes the elastic force of the first hook 118 and snaps downward under the first hook 118, thereby completing the assembly of the control board 220.

[0085] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5The control panel 220 also includes an indicator light 222. The main housing 160 has a light hole 162 at a position corresponding to the indicator light 222. A light shield 223 surrounds the indicator light 222. When the atomizing device is activated, the indicator light 222 illuminates to alert the user. The light shield 223 focuses the light from the indicator light 222, reducing light waste and increasing light intensity.

[0086] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the heating element 140 is connected to the airflow sensor 230 through two wires. Specifically, the bottom of the two liquid storage tanks 111 is respectively formed with a wire hole 1112, and the wire extends into the atomization channel 1021 through the wire hole 1112 to be electrically connected to the heating element 140. The wire hole 1112 is connected to the control groove 1152, and a plurality of limit plates are protruding from the control groove 1152. Each limit plate and the side wall of the control groove 1152 are surrounded by two wire management grooves 105. The two wires are respectively passed through the two wire management grooves 105 and are wound around the side of the battery 210 to form a connection with the airflow sensor 230. Among them, the setting of the wire management groove 105 can make the wires neat and tidy, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the wires and the airflow sensor 230, as well as the connection reliability of the wires and the heating element 140.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The main shell 160 has a cavity with a top opening, the inner side walls of the main shell 160 are respectively provided with a first block 163 and a second block 164, the outer side wall of the internal bracket 110 is provided with a third block 119, and the inner wall of the suction nozzle 170 has a second hook 174.

[0088] During assembly, the heating element 140, liquid absorbing element 150, atomizing tube 120, sealing cover 130, airflow sensor 230, battery 210, and control board 220 are first installed in the internal bracket 110. The entire structure is then inserted into the cavity until the first clamping block 163 and the third clamping block 119 are engaged. Finally, the nozzle 170 is placed on top of the internal bracket 110, and the second hook 174 of the nozzle 170 is inserted into the main housing 160 to engage with the second clamping block 164, thus completing the assembly of the atomizing device.

[0089] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The internal bracket 110 is an integrated connection structure, which can simplify the assembly process of the entire atomization device.

[0090] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 8 to 10The internal bracket 110 includes a liquid storage tank 300 and a power supply bracket 400. The liquid storage tank 300 and the power supply bracket 400 are snap-connected. The atomizing tube 120, the heating element 140, the liquid absorbing member 150, and the sealing cover 130 are all mounted on the liquid storage tank 300. The battery assembly 200 and the airflow sensor 230 are mounted on the power supply bracket 400. In this embodiment, by providing the liquid storage tank 300 and the power supply bracket 400 separately, the difficulty of manufacturing the integrated connection between the liquid storage tank 300 and the power supply bracket 400 can be reduced.

[0091] Specifically, the top side of the power supply bracket 400 has a receiving groove 410, into which the bottom end of the liquid storage tank 300 is inserted. Guide bars 310 are protruding from opposite sides of the liquid storage tank 300, and guide grooves 411 are provided on the opposite inner walls of the receiving groove 410. The guide bars 310 can be inserted longitudinally into the guide grooves 411, thereby guiding the assembly of the liquid storage tank 300. The outer wall of the liquid storage tank 300 has a fourth clamping block 320, and the opposite inner walls of the receiving groove 410 have clamping grooves 412. The fourth clamping block 320 is clamped in the clamping grooves 412 to achieve the connection between the liquid storage tank 300 and the power supply bracket 400.

[0092] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 A flexible filler 500 is provided in the liquid storage chamber 101, and the flexible filler 500 is replaceable. During design, different volumes of flexible fillers 500 can be filled according to the capacity of the liquid storage chamber 101, so as to meet the suction needs of different users.

[0093] Specifically, the flexible filler 500 may be a silicone member. By filling the liquid storage chamber 101 with silicone members of varying volumes, the actual capacity of the liquid storage chamber 101 can be adjusted. Of course, in other embodiments, the flexible filler 500 may also be another flexible structure, such as a rubber member. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the actual capacity of the liquid storage chamber 101 may also be adjusted by adjusting the volume of the sealing cap 130 inserted into the liquid storage chamber 101. This is not intended to be a limitation.

[0094] In the embodiment of the above-mentioned flexible filler 500, the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 101 is open, and a sealing cover 130 is installed at the bottom opening of the liquid storage chamber 101. During assembly, it is only necessary to remove the sealing cover 130 and then load flexible fillers 500 of different volumes into the liquid storage chamber 101.

[0095] In the above example, see Figure 11 and Figure 12During assembly, first turn the liquid storage tank 300 upside down, then install the atomizing tube 120 and the heating element 140 thereon into the liquid storage tank 300, then put the flexible filler 500 into the liquid storage cavity 101, then inject the atomizing medium into the liquid storage cavity 101, and finally seal the liquid storage cavity 101 with the sealing cover 130.

[0096] In addition, in the above-mentioned inverted assembly embodiment, a nozzle seal 180 is also abutted between the nozzle 170 and the liquid storage tank 300. The nozzle seal 180 is used to achieve a sealed connection between the atomization channel 1021 and the airflow chamber 172, and to achieve a sealed connection between the starting air channel 104 and the airflow chamber 172.

[0097] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The starting air channel 104 is spaced apart from the main air channel 102 and is connected at the suction nozzle 170. The starting air channel 104 is set to pass through the liquid storage chamber 101. The starting air channel 104 is located above the control board 220. This arrangement allows the airflow sensor 230 to be close to the control board 220, thereby shortening the connecting wires between the airflow sensor 230 and the control board 220, or even eliminating the connecting wires.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the airflow sensor 230 is mounted on the control board 220, the sealing sleeve 240 is mounted on the outside of the airflow sensor 230 and attached to the control board 220, and the power supply bracket 400 is formed with a negative pressure groove 420, which is connected to the starting air passage 104 and is connected to the airflow sensor 230 through the sealing sleeve 240. This arrangement eliminates the need for connecting wires, simplifying assembly.

[0099] In the above example, see Figure 12 and Figure 13 A starting tube 600 is provided in the liquid storage chamber 101 and is spaced apart from the atomizing tube 120. The top of the liquid storage tank 300 has a first matching hole 330, and the sealing cover 130 has a second matching hole 133. The top end of the starting tube 600 is inserted into the first matching hole 330, and the bottom end of the starting tube 600 is inserted into the second matching hole 133. The first matching hole 330 is connected to the airflow chamber 172 of the suction nozzle 170, and the second matching hole 133 is connected to the negative pressure tank 420.

[0100] Optionally, the starting tube 600 is a stainless steel tube, which can reduce the problem of the starting tube 600 rusting due to long-term use.

[0101] In other embodiments of the present application, the main air channel 102 and the electric control chamber 103 may not be separated, which can reduce the processing difficulty and cost of the power supply bracket 400. Figure 11In the embodiment, a support rib 165 can be provided at the bottom of the main shell 160, and then the battery 210 can be directly installed in the main shell 160, without forming a battery slot 1151 for installing the battery 210 on the power supply bracket 400, thereby simplifying the structure of the power supply bracket 400.

[0102] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. 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.
