Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization equipment technology, and more specifically, to a liquid-proof structure and an aerosol generating device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol generating devices can form aerosols by heating the aerosol medium. The atomization process is simple, easy to operate, and does not produce any residues. Aerosol generating devices generally use a microphone to sense air pressure, thereby controlling the heating of the atomizing medium through air pressure, making the atomization process more intelligent.

[0003] Currently, aerosol generating devices typically employ either a straight-through structure or a simple staggered structure for their air ducts. The nozzle is located at the top of the air duct, the middle section is situated within the oil cup and houses the atomizing core, and the capacitor microphone is connected to the bottom of the air duct. Because the main air duct operates at high temperatures during suction, condensation easily forms within it when not suctioning. This condensation, along with the aerosol medium, can easily flow into the microphone opening through the straight-through or staggered air duct structure, affecting the microphone's sensitivity and potentially causing damage. This can result in the product losing its suction function or the microphone automatically restarting, ultimately impacting product performance and the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of this application is that condensate and aerosol media can easily flow into the microphone mouth through the air passage, affecting the sensitivity of the microphone's operation, and in severe cases, directly damaging it, resulting in the product having no suction function and the microphone automatically starting, thereby affecting product performance and user experience.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a liquid-resistant structure, employing the technical solution described below, including:

[0006] A liquid-resistant structure, comprising:

[0007] A stand for housing the microphone;

[0008] The base is connected to the bracket, and the base is provided with air holes. An air passage is provided between the bracket and the base so that the microphone can communicate with the atomizing component through the air passage and the air holes.

[0009] The air passage includes a first channel and a connecting hole disposed on the bracket, and a second channel disposed on the base. The connecting hole is used to connect the first channel and the second channel. In the vertical direction, the connecting hole is located between the air hole and the connection between the base and the bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a first support column protruding towards the base, the first channel is disposed within the first support column, the first support column is provided with an oil-proof cap, and the connecting hole is disposed on the oil-proof cap.

[0011] Furthermore, the base is provided with a second support column protruding in a direction away from the bracket, and the base is provided with a groove corresponding to the position of the first support column. The air hole is provided on the second support column, and the groove, the first support column, and the oil-proof cover form the second channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the axis of the first support and the axis of the second support are respectively set on different vertical planes, and the opening direction of the connecting hole is set away from the second support.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is provided with a first absorbent cotton.

[0014] Furthermore, the microphone is also covered by a receiving member, which is provided with a third channel and a fourth channel that are connected. The first channel is connected to the fourth channel through the third channel, and the projection of the first channel is located on the third channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the bracket is also provided with a second absorbent cotton located on one side of the receiving member, and the third channel is inclined along the direction of the fourth channel toward the second absorbent cotton.

[0016] Furthermore, a seal is provided between the bracket and the base.

[0017] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with an installation cavity, the sealing element is disposed in the installation cavity, and the base portion is inserted into the installation cavity during connection.

[0018] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a first magnetic attraction element, and the base is provided with a second magnetic attraction element. When connected, the first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element attract each other.

[0019] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also provides an aerosol generating device, which employs the following technical solution:

[0020] An aerosol generating device includes an atomizing component and a liquid-proof structure, wherein the atomizing component is disposed at the upper end of the liquid-proof structure.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages: Because the air hole and the connecting hole are staggered in the vertical direction, condensate and aerosol media cannot drip directly into the connecting hole through the air hole. At the same time, there is a certain height difference between the connecting hole and the connection between the base and the bracket, which ensures that the condensate and aerosol media are diverted and retained in the connection between the base and the bracket, preventing them from flowing into the microphone through the connecting hole and accumulating at the microphone. This allows the microphone to maintain normal operation, enhances the microphone's oil resistance, solves the problem of microphone damage and self-starting caused by condensate and aerosol media, improves product safety and user experience, and significantly extends the product's service life.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0031] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This application provides a liquid-resistant structure, which adopts the technical solution described below, including:

[0034] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, a liquid-resistant structure includes:

[0035] Stand 1, for accommodating microphone 2;

[0036] The base 3 is connected to the bracket 1, and the base 3 is provided with an air hole 31. An air passage 100 is provided between the bracket 1 and the base 3 so that the microphone 2 can communicate with the atomizing component through the air passage 100 and the air hole 31.

[0037] The air duct 100 includes a first channel 11 and a connecting hole 12 disposed on the bracket 1, and a second channel 32 disposed on the base 3. The connecting hole 12 connects the first channel 11 and the second channel 32. In the vertical direction, the connecting hole 12 is located between the air hole 31 and the connection point between the base 3 and the bracket 1. In the vertical direction, the air hole 31 and the connecting hole 12 are staggered, preventing condensate and aerosol media from dripping directly into the connecting hole 12 through the air hole 31. At the same time, there is a certain height difference between the connecting hole 12 and the connection point between the base 3 and the bracket 1, ensuring that condensate and aerosol media are diverted and retained in the connection point between the base 3 and the bracket 1, preventing them from flowing into the microphone 2 through the connecting hole 12 and accumulating at the microphone 2. This allows the microphone 2 to maintain normal operation, enhances the oil-proof function of the microphone 2, solves the problem of microphone damage and self-starting caused by condensate and aerosol media, improves product safety and user experience, and significantly extends the product's service life.

[0038] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, further, the bracket 1 is provided with a first support column 13 protruding towards the base 3, the first channel 11 is disposed within the first support column 13, and an oil-proof cover 4 is disposed on the first support column 13. The connecting hole 12 is disposed on the oil-proof cover 4. The oil-proof cover 4 makes it difficult for condensate and aerosol media to enter the microphone 2 from the first channel 11. Even if they enter the air passage 100, they will remain in the connection between the base 3 and the bracket 1 due to the oil-proof cover 4, and will not flow into the microphone 2 or accumulate at the microphone 2. This allows the microphone 2 to maintain normal operation, enhances the oil-proof function of the microphone 2, solves the problem of damage and self-starting of the microphone 2 caused by condensate and aerosol media, improves product safety and user experience, and significantly extends the product's service life.

[0039] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 5As shown, further, the base 3 is provided with a second support column 33 protruding away from the bracket 1. A groove 34 is provided on the base 3 corresponding to the position of the first support column 13. The air hole 31 is located on the second support column 33. The groove 34, the first support column 13, and the oil-proof cover 4 enclose and form the second channel 32. The protruding second support column 33 further enhances the oil-proof function, preventing condensate and aerosol media from overflowing the air hole 31. Simultaneously, the design of the groove 34 further increases the complexity of the misaligned arrangement of the air hole 31 and the connecting hole 12, preventing condensate and aerosol media from dripping directly into the connecting hole 12 through the air hole 31. This solves the problem of damage and self-starting of the microphone 2 caused by condensate and aerosol media, improving product safety and user experience, and significantly extending the product's service life.

[0040] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, furthermore, the axes of the first support 13 and the second support 33 are respectively set on different vertical planes, and the opening direction of the connecting hole 12 is set away from the second support 33. This further increases the complexity of the misalignment between the air hole 31 and the connecting hole 12, so that the second channel 32 has a U-shaped design. At the same time, the setting of the opening direction of the connecting hole 12 allows the condensate and aerosol medium generated in the groove 34 to drip directly into the connecting hole 12, further enhancing the oil-proof function of the microphone 2.

[0041] Furthermore, the vertical direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the axis of the air hole 31, which is also the axial direction of the first channel 11, and the horizontal direction refers to the axial direction of the connecting hole 12.

[0042] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, the base 3 is further provided with a first absorbent cotton 5. The first absorbent cotton 5 can absorb the condensate and aerosol medium flowing into the base 3, further increasing the capacity of the base 3 to retain condensate and aerosol medium, preventing excessive condensate and aerosol medium flowing into the base 3, which would cause it to overflow the air hole 31 and enter the air passage 100, thus solving the problem of damage and self-starting of the microphone 2 caused by condensate and aerosol medium.

[0043] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 6As shown, the microphone 2 is further enclosed by a receiving member 6. The receiving member 6 has a third channel 61 and a fourth channel 62 that are connected. The first channel 11 is connected to the fourth channel 62 through the third channel 61, and the projection of the first channel 11 is located on the third channel 61. The receiving member 6 can protect the microphone 2. However, it is unavoidable that some condensate and aerosol media may enter the first channel 11. Since the projection of the first channel 11 is located on the third channel 61, condensate and aerosol media can drip into the third channel 61. The third channel 61 can contain this condensate and aerosol media, preventing it from flowing into the microphone 2 through the fourth channel 62 and accumulating at the microphone 2. This enhances the oil-proof function and solves the problem of damage and self-starting of the microphone 2 caused by condensate and aerosol media.

[0044] Furthermore, after passing through the microphone 2, the gas needs to pass through the fourth channel 62, the third channel 61, the first channel 11, the connecting hole 12, the second channel 32, and the air hole 31 in sequence before reaching the mouthpiece through the atomizing component. This process involves eight turns. The air passage 100 has a rotary design, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of the staggered setting of the air passage 100 and further enhances the oil-proof function of the microphone 2.

[0045] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 1 is further provided with a second absorbent cotton 7 located on one side of the receiving member 6, and the third channel 61 is inclined towards the second absorbent cotton 7 along the fourth channel 62. The inclined third channel 61 guides the condensate and aerosol medium, while the second absorbent cotton 7 can absorb the condensate and aerosol medium flowing into the third channel 61, increasing the capacity of the third channel 61 to retain condensate and aerosol medium, further increasing the difficulty of condensate and aerosol medium in the third channel 61 flowing back into the microphone 2, enhancing the oil-proof function, and solving the problem of damage and self-starting of the microphone 2 caused by condensate and aerosol medium.

[0046] Furthermore, the bracket 1 is provided with a microphone groove 16 for installing the receiving component 6 and the second absorbent cotton 7. The receiving component 6 is made of silicone. After installation, the receiving component 6 is sealed to the inner wall of the microphone groove 16 to prevent air leakage and avoid affecting the normal operation of the microphone 2.

[0047] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 5As shown, a sealing element 8 is further provided between the bracket 1 and the base 3. The sealing element 8 can seal the connection between the bracket 1 and the base 3, so that the gas passes through the microphone 2 and sequentially through the first channel 11, the connecting hole 12, the second channel 32 and the air hole 31 before reaching the atomizing component, preventing air leakage and avoiding affecting the normal operation of the microphone 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the bracket 1 is provided with an installation cavity 14, and the sealing element 8 is disposed in the installation cavity 14. When connected, the base 3 is partially inserted into the installation cavity 14 to facilitate the installation of the base 3. The sealing element 8 is also provided with a cavity 81 for receiving condensate and aerosol medium, which further prevents too much condensate and aerosol medium from flowing into the base 3 and overflowing the air hole 31 into the air passage 100.

[0049] As attached Figure 3 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 1 is further provided with a first magnetic 15, and the base 3 is provided with a second magnetic 35. When connected, the first magnetic 15 and the second magnetic 35 attract each other. This allows the bracket 1 and the base 3 to be quickly aligned and connected when they are close together, without the need for force to tighten them, thus avoiding damage to the bracket 1 and the base 3. Furthermore, the magnetic engagement increases the force required for the bracket 1 and the base 3 to separate, preventing the base 3 from falling off during use and improving stability.

[0050] Furthermore, one of the first magnetic component 15 and the second magnetic component 35 is configured to contain magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, and the other is configured to be a magnet, so that when the bracket 1 and the base 3 are close to each other, they can quickly attract each other and connect.

[0051] Furthermore, the bracket 1 is provided with a first electrode 91 that is electrically connected to the battery assembly, and the base 3 is provided with a second electrode 92 that is electrically connected to the atomizing assembly. When the bracket 1 and the base 3 are connected, the first electrode 91 and the second electrode 92 abut against each other, so that the first electrode 91 and the second electrode 92 are electrically connected.

[0052] During installation, the first absorbent cotton 5 is installed on the base 3, then the oil-proof cap 4 is riveted to the first support column 13, and the sealing member 8 is installed in the mounting cavity 14 of the bracket 1. Next, the second absorbent cotton 7 is installed in the microphone slot 16. After the receiving member 6 is fitted over the microphone 2, the microphone 2, covered by the receiving member 6, is installed in the microphone slot 16. Finally, the bracket 1 and the base 3 are brought close together, and they are connected by the first magnetic suction member 15 and the second magnetic suction member 35. The structure is simple, and installation is convenient and quick.

[0053] Based on the liquid-resistant structure described above, this application also provides an aerosol generating device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0054] An aerosol generating device includes an atomizing component and a liquid-proof structure, wherein the atomizing component is disposed at the upper end of the liquid-proof structure.

[0055] The vent 31 and the connecting hole 12 are staggered in the vertical direction, preventing condensate and aerosol from dripping directly into the connecting hole 12 through the vent 31. Simultaneously, there is a certain height difference between the connecting hole 12 and the connection point between the base 3 and the bracket 1, ensuring that condensate and aerosol are diverted and retained within the connection point of the base 3 and the bracket 1. This prevents condensate and aerosol from flowing into the microphone 2 through the connecting hole 12 and accumulating at the microphone 2, allowing the microphone 2 to maintain normal operation, enhancing its oil-resistant function, solving the problems of microphone damage and self-starting caused by condensate and aerosol, improving product safety and user experience, and significantly extending product lifespan.
