[0027] Electronic atomizers can be used in various fields, such as medical atomization, beauty atomization, and cigarette alternatives. They primarily work by heating an atomization substrate to generate an aerosol, which can be a liquid substrate containing or without nicotine. Electronic atomizers generally consist of an atomization assembly and a power supply assembly. The atomization assembly includes an e-liquid reservoir that stores the atomization substrate and an atomizer coil. The e-liquid reservoir stores the atomization substrate, and the atomizer coil heats and atomizes the substrate to generate an aerosol. The power supply assembly provides power to the atomizer coil.
[0028] like Figure 1-6As shown, this application provides an electronic atomizer capable of emitting light, including a housing 1 and a light-emitting structure 20 disposed within the housing 1. The housing 1 is at least partially translucent. The light-emitting structure 20 includes a light guide 21 and multiple light sources 22. The multiple light sources 22 include at least two of the three colors of RGB. The light guide 21 includes a light-emitting surface 21C and a light-incident surface 21R. The light-incident surface 21R is provided with multiple concave recesses. Each recess includes multiple connected polygonal surfaces. The multiple polygonal surfaces are connected to form a diamond surface. Each recess covers at least one of the light sources 22.
[0029] After the user activates the light source 22, the light emitted by the light source 22 can be refracted to the housing 1 through the light guide 21. The light emitted by the light source 22 of different colors is refracted to different directions by the light-incident surface 21R of the light guide 21 and the diamond surface. At least some of the light mixes to form new colors after passing through the light guide 21.
[0030] Specifically, at least a portion of the outer shell 1 of the electronic atomizer is translucent, and the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 20 disposed within the outer shell 1 can pass through the translucent area 110 of the outer shell 1. In some embodiments, the outer shell 1 has an opening, and a light-transmitting portion made of transparent material is provided at the opening, which covers the light-emitting surface 21C of the light-emitting structure 20.
[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer casing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. When combined, the two housings define an installation space within the outer casing 1 for at least one light-emitting structure 20. The first housing 11 corresponds to the light-emitting surface 21C of the light guide 21. It is understood that the area of the first housing 11 corresponding to the light-emitting surface 21C is the light-transmitting area 110.
[0032] It is understood that the transparent material may be acrylic, glass, plastic, etc.
[0033] The light-emitting structure 20 includes multiple light sources 22, at least two of which emit different colors. These two light sources 22 can be arranged alternately or adjacently. Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting structure 20 has a first light source 221 and a second light source 222 capable of emitting light of different colors, with the first light source 221 and the second light source 222 arranged alternately. When light of different colors mixes with each other, the human eye can perceive the new color.
[0034] In some embodiments, the light source 22 can be controlled to emit light of the same intensity or color, or light of the same color, either sequentially or at least partially simultaneously, and the emitted light will eventually pass through the light-transmitting area 110 of the housing 1 to present a richer range of color changes.
[0035] The aforementioned light-emitting structure 20 further includes a substrate, which includes a base surface disposed relative to the light-incident surface 21R of the light guide 21, and the light source 22 is fixed on the base surface. In some embodiments, a reflective layer is provided on the base surface, the reflective layer being used to reflect light to the light-incident surface 21R. In some other embodiments, the base surface is a non-optical surface to reduce the amount of light reflected or refracted by the base surface.
[0036] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the light guide 21 has a light-emitting surface 21C and a light-incident surface 21R, wherein the light-incident surface 21R is disposed relative to the light-emitting surface of the light source 22, and the light-emitting surface 21C is away from the light-incident surface 21R.
[0037] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the light-incident surface 21R has multiple recesses formed inward toward the light-emitting surface 21C, and the concave surface of each recess is diamond-shaped. Specifically, the diamond-shaped surface comprises a first polygonal surface (211, 211'), a second polygonal surface (212, 212'), a third polygonal surface (213, 213'), and a fourth polygonal surface (214, 214'), each recess corresponding to a light source 22, and at least a portion of the emitting surface of the light source 22 is covered within the recess. It is understood that each recess can cover multiple light sources 22.
[0038] In some embodiments, these polygonal surfaces can be curved or flat. When at least one of these polygonal surfaces is curved, the curvature is concave or convex relative to the direction of light emission. It is understood that a translucent curved surface, whether concave or convex, can function as a concave or convex lens.
[0039] Understandably, these polygonal faces can be triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, rhombuses, etc., and light can radiate from multiple angles, thus playing a role in light mixing.
[0040] In some embodiments, the light-emitting surface 21C is a plane or a curved surface. It is understood that the light-emitting surface 21C is concave or convex relative to the light-emitting direction, and when the light-emitting surface 21C with light transmission is curved, its concave or convex shape can function as a concave lens or a convex lens.
[0041] In some embodiments, the adjacent surfaces of two concave portions share a common edge. It is understood that the included angle between these two surfaces is an acute angle.
[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizer in the above embodiments further includes a control unit electrically connected to the light source. The control unit is used to control at least one of the multiple light sources to emit light preferentially, or the control unit is used to control the multiple light sources to emit light simultaneously. For example, in some embodiments, the control unit can control any one of the multiple light sources 22 to emit light of high intensity, low intensity, or any color of the RGB three primary colors preferentially over the other light sources 22; in some embodiments, the control unit can control the multiple light sources 22 to emit light of the same intensity, different intensities, the same color, or different colors simultaneously.
[0043] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this utility model. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings under the overall concept of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
