Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization device and an electronic cigarette. Background Technology

[0002] Atomizing devices generally consist of an atomizer and a cartridge. The cartridge's supply chamber provides e-liquid to the atomizer's reservoir. The atomizer includes an atomizing component housed within its atomizing chamber. This component atomizes the e-liquid by drawing it from the reservoir and then, powered by a power supply, vaporizes it. The atomized vapor flows out through a mouthpiece connected to the atomizing chamber for the user to inhale.

[0003] However, the existing atomizing device design is not reasonable enough. When the oil bottle and atomizer are assembled, the oil supply chamber and the oil storage chamber are always connected, which makes it easy for gas to flow between the two, resulting in pressure imbalance and oil leakage in the atomizing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide an atomizing device and an electronic cigarette that solves the technical problem of easy oil leakage in atomizing devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application proposes an atomizing device, which includes:

[0006] The atomizer has an internal oil storage chamber and an oil inlet that connects to the oil storage chamber.

[0007] An oil bottle is connected to the atomizer. The oil bottle has an oil supply chamber inside and an oil supply port that communicates with the oil supply chamber.

[0008] An oil supply valve, passing through the oil supply port and movably connected to the oil bottle, has a first position and a second position relative to the oil bottle. When the oil supply valve is in the first position, it closes the oil supply port; when it is in the second position, it opens the oil supply port.

[0009] A drive assembly is partially disposed within the oil reservoir, and the drive assembly is configured to connect to the oil supply valve to drive the oil supply valve to move between the first position and the second position.

[0010] Optionally, the oil supply valve moves axially along the oil bottle.

[0011] Optionally, the oil supply valve is tubular, with one end of the oil supply valve located inside the oil bottle sealed, and the oil supply valve having a first oil passage hole and a second oil passage hole; the oil bottle includes a sealing element, which is disposed between the oil bottle and the oil supply valve, and the sealing element is used to cooperate with the oil supply valve to open or close the oil supply port.

[0012] Optionally, when the oil supply valve is in the second position, the second oil passage is located inside the oil storage chamber.

[0013] Optionally, the oil supply valve is tubular, with one end of the oil supply valve located outside the oil bottle sealed. The oil supply valve has a third oil passage hole, and the wall of the oil supply chamber has an oil through hole. The third oil passage hole coincides with or is staggered with the oil through hole.

[0014] Optionally, the atomizer is detachably connected to the oil bottle, and the drive assembly is detachably connected to the oil supply valve. When the atomizer is separated from the oil bottle, the drive assembly is connected to the atomizer, and the oil bottle is connected to the oil supply valve.

[0015] Optionally, the oil bottle includes a stop member disposed between the oil bottle and the oil supply valve to limit the oil supply valve.

[0016] Optionally, the atomizer includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and the drive assembly is located between the upper shell and the lower shell and is limited by the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0017] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a linkage, a toggle, and a connector. The linkage is located between the upper shell and the lower shell. Both ends of the linkage are connected to the toggle and the connector, respectively. The end of the connector away from the linkage is connected to the oil supply valve. The end of the toggle, away from the linkage, extends out of the upper shell. The oil supply valve moves between the first position and the second position under the action of the toggle.

[0018] A second aspect of this application discloses an electronic cigarette, which includes:

[0019] Electrical control devices; and

[0020] The atomizing device described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the atomizing device is electrically connected to the electrical control device.

[0021] In the atomizing device of this application, the drive assembly can move the oil supply valve between a first position and a second position to open or close the oil supply port. Therefore, when the oil storage chamber does not need to be filled, the drive assembly can close the oil supply port by moving the oil supply valve, preventing gas from flowing freely between the oil storage chamber and the oil supply chamber, thus maintaining pressure balance within the oil storage chamber and reducing the likelihood of oil leakage in the atomizing device.

[0034] This application discloses an atomizing device, which may include an atomizer, an oil bottle, a supply valve, and a drive assembly. The atomizer may have an oil reservoir and an inlet communicating with the reservoir. The oil bottle is connected to the atomizer, and its interior may have a supply chamber and a supply port communicating with it. The supply valve is disposed within the supply port and movably connected to the oil bottle. The supply valve may have a first position and a second position relative to the oil bottle. When the supply valve is in the first position, it closes the supply port; when it is in the second position, it opens the supply port. The drive assembly may be partially disposed within the oil reservoir and is configured to connect to the supply valve to move the supply valve between the first and second positions.

[0035] In the atomizing device of this application, the drive assembly can move the oil supply valve between a first position and a second position to open or close the oil supply port. Therefore, when the oil storage chamber does not need to be filled, the drive assembly can close the oil supply port by moving the oil supply valve, preventing gas from flowing freely between the oil storage chamber and the oil supply chamber, thus maintaining pressure balance within the oil storage chamber and reducing the likelihood of oil leakage in the atomizing device.

[0036] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of the atomizing device.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The atomizing device 100 includes an atomizer 110. The atomizer 110 has an oil storage chamber 111 inside, and the atomizer 110 has an oil inlet 112 that communicates with the oil storage chamber 111. The oil inlet 112 can be approximately circular, elliptical, triangular, waist-shaped, square, polygonal, or irregular in shape.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The atomizing device 100 includes an oil bottle 120. The oil bottle 120 can be connected to an atomizer 110. The oil bottle 120 and the atomizer 110 can be non-detachably connected. Alternatively, the oil bottle 120 and the atomizer 110 can be detachably connected, thereby allowing the oil bottle 120 to be replaced.

[0039] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The oil bottle 120 has an oil supply chamber 121 inside, and an oil supply port 122 communicating with the oil supply chamber 121. The oil supply chamber 121 is used to store e-liquid, and the e-liquid in the oil supply chamber 121 can flow into the oil storage chamber 111 through the oil supply port 122. The shape of the oil supply port 122 is adapted to the shape of the oil inlet 112, and it can also be circular, elliptical, triangular, waist-shaped, square, polygonal, or irregular.

[0040] Please see Figures 2 to 5 The atomizing device 100 includes an oil supply valve 130. The oil supply valve 130 passes through the oil supply port 122 and is movably connected to the oil bottle 120. The oil supply valve 130 has a first position and a second position relative to the oil bottle 120. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the first position, the oil supply valve 130 closes the oil supply port 122. (See also...) Figure 4 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the second position, the oil supply valve 130 opens the oil supply port 122. Thus, the opening and closing of the oil supply port 122 can be controlled by the oil supply valve 130, thereby controlling the oil supply chamber 121 to supply oil to the oil storage chamber 111.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The atomizing device 100 includes a drive assembly 140. The drive assembly 140 is partially disposed within the oil reservoir 111 and is configured to connect to the oil supply valve 130 to move the oil supply valve 130 between a first position and a second position. Thus, the drive assembly 140 can move the oil supply valve 130 to open or close the oil supply port 122.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the oil supply valve 130 can move axially along the oil bottle 120. Thus, the oil supply valve 130 can have a first position and a second position relative to the oil bottle 120, thereby allowing the oil supply valve 130 to open or close the oil supply port 122.

[0043] Please see Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment, the oil supply valve 130 may be tubular, with one end of the valve located inside the oil bottle 120 sealed. The valve 130 may have a first oil passage hole 131 and a second oil passage hole 132. Thus, through the first oil passage hole 131 and the second oil passage hole 132, the e-liquid in the oil supply chamber 121 can flow out via the oil supply valve 130. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 4The number of first oil passage holes 131 and / or second oil passage holes 132 can be at least two, thereby achieving a better oil passage effect. At least two first oil passage holes 131 and / or at least two second oil passage holes 132 can be arranged circumferentially on the oil supply valve 130.

[0044] Please see Figures 3 to 4 In the above embodiment, the oil supply valve 130 includes a connecting end for connecting the drive assembly 140, and the distance between the first oil passage hole 131 and the connecting end is greater than the distance between the second oil passage hole 132 and the connecting end. Thus, the first oil passage hole 131 and the second oil passage hole 132 are arranged axially in the oil supply valve 130. The e-liquid in the oil supply chamber 121 can flow into the oil supply valve 130 through the first oil passage hole 131, and after flowing a certain distance in the oil supply valve 130, it flows out of the oil supply valve 130 through the second oil passage hole 132. The oil supply valve 130 provides a guiding function for the flow of e-liquid.

[0045] Please see Figures 3 to 4 In the above embodiment, the oil bottle 120 may include a seal 123, which may be disposed between the oil bottle 120 and the oil supply valve 130. The seal 123 is used to cooperate with the oil supply valve 130 to open or close the oil supply port 122. The oil supply valve 130 can be driven by the drive assembly 140 to move axially in the oil bottle 120. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the first position, the seal 123 is located between one end of the oil supply valve 130's sealing opening and the first oil passage 131. Thus, the oil supply chamber 121 is sealed by the seal 123 and the oil supply valve 130, preventing e-liquid from flowing out. (See also...) Figure 4 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the second position, the seal 123 is located between the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132. Thus, e-liquid flows into the oil supply valve 130 through the first oil passage 131 and then into the oil storage chamber 111 through the second oil passage 132. Through the cooperation of the seal 123 and the oil supply valve 130, the oil supply valve 130 can open or close the oil supply port 122 by moving its position.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 In the above embodiment, when the oil supply valve 130 is in the second position, the second oil passage 132 is located in the oil storage chamber 111. Therefore, the oil supply valve 130 can guide the e-liquid to the oil storage chamber 111, thus improving the oil guiding effect from the oil supply chamber 121 to the oil storage chamber 111.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 In another embodiment, the oil supply valve 130 may be tubular, and the end of the oil supply valve 130 located outside the oil bottle 120 may be sealed. The oil supply valve 130 has a third oil passage hole 161, and the wall of the oil supply chamber 121 has an oil passage hole 162. The third oil passage hole 161 and the oil passage hole 162 may coincide or be staggered.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 When the supply valve 130 is in the first position, the third oil passage 161 and the oil passage 162 are interleaved. Therefore, the third oil passage 161 is closed by the oil bottle 120, and the oil passage 162 is closed by the supply valve 130, preventing the e-liquid in the supply chamber 121 from flowing into the storage chamber 111. When the supply valve 130 is in the second position, at least a portion of the third oil passage 161 coincides with at least a portion of the oil passage 162. Therefore, the e-liquid in the supply chamber 121 can flow into the supply valve 130 through the open end of the filling valve located in the oil bottle 120, and then into the storage chamber 111 through the connected third oil passage 161 and oil passage 162.

[0049] In some embodiments, the atomizer 110 is detachably connected to the oil bottle 120, and the drive assembly 140 is detachably connected to the oil supply valve 130. When the atomizer 110 is separated from the oil bottle 120, the drive assembly 140 can be connected to the atomizer 110, and the oil bottle 120 can be connected to the oil supply valve 130. Thus, when the atomizer 110 is detached from the oil bottle 120, the oil supply valve 130 can cooperate with other components (such as a sealing cap or a sealing plug) to seal the opening of the oil bottle 120.

[0050] The drive assembly 140 and the oil supply valve 130 can be magnetically connected. (See also...) Figures 2 to 5 The drive assembly 140 may include a magnet 144, and the oil supply valve 130 may be made of a ferromagnetic material. Thus, through the mutual attraction between the magnet 144 and the oil supply valve 130, the drive assembly 140 and the oil supply valve 130 can be magnetically connected, and they can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled. Alternatively, the drive assembly 140 and the oil supply valve 130 can also be snap-fitted, glued, or screwed together.

[0051] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The oil bottle 120 includes a stop 124. The stop 124 is located between the oil bottle 120 and the oil supply valve 130 to limit the oil supply valve 130. As a result, the connection of the oil supply valve 130 within the oil bottle 120 is relatively stable, and the oil supply valve 130 will not detach from the oil supply port 122 and lose its function of opening or closing the oil supply port 122.

[0052] Please see Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment, the stop 124 is connected to the oil supply valve 130. See also... Figure 3 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the first position, the stop 124 abuts against the oil bottle 120. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the second position, the stop member 124 is located between the second oil passage 132 and the seal member 123 and abuts against the seal member 123.

[0053] Please see Figure 5In another embodiment, a stop 124 is connected to the oil bottle 120, and the stop 124 can prevent the oil supply valve 130 from falling to the bottom of the oil bottle 120.

[0054] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The atomizer 110 includes an upper shell 113 and a lower shell 114 that are interconnected and spaced apart. A drive assembly 140 is partially located between and limited by the upper shell 113 and the lower shell 114. Specifically, the atomizing chamber and the oil reservoir 111 are formed by the lower shell 114. A portion of the drive assembly 140 is located between the upper shell 113 and the lower shell 114, and the remaining portion of the drive assembly 140 extends into the oil reservoir 111 and is used to connect to the oil supply valve 130.

[0055] The drive assembly 140 is capable of axial movement along the upper housing 113. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the first position, the drive assembly 140 abuts against the upper housing 113. (See also...) Figure 4 When the oil supply valve 130 is in the second position, the drive assembly 140 abuts against the lower shell 114. Thus, the drive assembly 140 is limited by the upper shell 113 and the lower shell 114, achieving the effect of moving the oil supply valve 130 to connect or close the oil reservoir 111 and the oil supply chamber 121. The upper shell 113 and the lower shell 114 also make the connection of the drive assembly 140 within the atomizer 110 more stable.

[0056] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The drive assembly 140 includes a linkage 141, a toggle 142, and a connector 143. The linkage 141 is located between the upper housing 113 and the lower housing 114. The two ends of the linkage 141 are connected to the toggle 142 and the connector 143, respectively. The end of the connector 143 away from the linkage 141 is connected to the oil supply valve 130. The end of the toggle 142 away from the linkage 141 extends out of the upper housing. The oil supply valve 130 moves between a first position and a second position under the action of the toggle 142.

[0057] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The atomizing device 100 includes a mouthpiece 150. The mouthpiece 150 is connected to a drive assembly 140, which can move the mouthpiece 150 into or out of the atomizer 110. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the first position, the mouthpiece 150 is removed from the atomizer 110, and the mouthpiece 150 is at least partially outside the upper housing 113. See also... Figure 4In the second position, the mouthpiece 150 moves into the atomizer 110, with the mouthpiece 150 at least partially located between the upper shell 113 and the lower shell 114. Thus, the drive assembly 140 can move the mouthpiece 150 into or out of the atomizer 110 (specifically, the upper shell 113), facilitating the user's inhalation and providing protection for the mouthpiece 150 from the upper shell 113.

[0058] This application further proposes an electronic cigarette (not shown), which includes an electronic control device (not shown) and the aforementioned atomizing device 100, wherein the atomizing device 100 is electrically connected to the electronic control device. Therefore, the electronic cigarette of this application is less prone to leakage.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
