Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic atomizer technology, and more specifically, to an electronic atomizer with lateral atomization. Background Technology
[0002] Existing electronic cigarettes or electronic atomization devices generally include a power supply component and an electronic atomizer. The power supply component contains a battery that supplies power to the electronic atomizer. When powered on, the atomizing core inside the electronic atomizer heats and evaporates the solution to be atomized, i.e., the atomizing liquid or e-cigarette liquid, into vapor, e-cigarette smoke, or aerosol. The atomizing liquid is stored in a reservoir inside the electronic atomizer.
[0003] Currently available atomizers on the market have porous atomizing coils. These coils are typically placed horizontally on the atomizer base, with the upper side facing the liquid reservoir to form the liquid inlet surface and the lower side facing the atomization chamber to form the atomization surface. The airflow entering from the bottom of the atomizer flows laterally into the atomization chamber. The atomized liquid vaporizes on the atomization surface and is released downwards as aerosol or e-cigarette vapor, which is then carried by the laterally flowing airflow and flows upwards through the vapor exit channel. This airflow channel is a curved and winding channel with a relatively slow airflow velocity. This results in a longer distance for the vapor to reach the user's mouth, greater flavor attenuation, and a less full and less flavorful vapor, leading to a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

The upper end of the atomizing support has a smoke outlet that fits onto the bottom end of the air intake tube. The upper end of the atomizing support, located to the side of the smoke outlet, has a recessed liquid inlet chamber that communicates upwards with the reservoir chamber. The atomizing support and the base are vertically connected. A cavity is provided between the atomizing support and the base, and the silicone gas guide seat is disposed within the cavity, dividing the cavity...

[0013] Preferably, the porous liquid-conducting material is sintered from a porous ceramic material.
[0014] Preferably, an electrode post is vertically provided on the base plate of the base, and the side of the electrode post is in contact with the electrode layer.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this lateral atomizing electronic atomizer are as follows: The porous atomizing core of this electronic atomizer is laterally positioned inside the atomization chamber, so the generated electronic vapor does not need to bend and can be directly inhaled by the user. This shortens the distance the vapor travels to the user's mouth, reduces flavor decay, and improves the flavor reproduction of the vapor, allowing the user to obtain a fuller vapor and taste, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. The electronic atomizer of this utility model can heat and atomize an atomizing liquid into vapor, aerosol, or electronic cigarette smoke for users to inhale. The atomizing liquid may include electronic cigarette liquid containing nicotine, solutions containing herbal or medicinal ingredients, or solutions containing other ingredients. Therefore, the product of this utility model is not limited to use as an atomizer for electronic cigarettes.
[0032] This utility model relates to a side-atomizing electronic atomizer. For ease of description, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the inlet 10 of the electronic atomizer of this utility model is placed vertically with the inlet facing upward. If there are descriptions of the electronic cigarette components such as "upper, lower, upper part, lower part, bottom, upper end, lower end, bottom end, top, bottom, bottom surface, upward, downward, horizontal, vertical", etc., in this article, they all refer to the positional relationship of the components when the electronic atomizer is placed vertically with the inlet facing upward.
[0033] Example
[0034] like Figures 1-15 As shown, the present invention provides a side-atomizing electronic atomizer, including a mouthpiece shell 1. The upper part of the mouthpiece shell 1 is tapered into the shape of a mouthpiece. The top of the mouthpiece shell 1 is provided with a mouthpiece 10. The mouthpiece 10 extends downward into the mouthpiece shell 1 and is provided with an air inlet tube 11. The upper inner part of the mouthpiece shell 1 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 100 for storing atomizing liquid. The lower part of the liquid storage chamber 100 is connected to a liquid separator 2, an atomizing bracket 3, a porous atomizing core 4, an air-guiding silicone seat 5, and a base 6. The lower end of the mouthpiece shell 1 is also fitted with an atomizer bottom shell 7.
[0035] The upper end of the atomizing bracket 3 is provided with a smoke outlet 30 that is sleeved with the bottom end of the air intake pipe 11. The upper end of the atomizing bracket 3 is provided with a sunken liquid inlet chamber 200 on one side of the smoke outlet. The liquid inlet chamber 200 is connected upward to the liquid storage chamber 100. The atomizing bracket 3 is connected vertically to the base 6. A cavity is provided inside the atomizing bracket 3 and the base 6. The air guide silicone seat 5 is located in the cavity. The air guide silicone seat 5 divides the cavity into a condensate collection chamber 300, an air intake chamber 400 and an atomizing chamber 500. The bottom plate 61 of the base 6 is provided with a first air intake hole 60, which is connected to the air intake chamber 400. The air guide silicone seat 5 is provided with a second air intake hole 50, which connects the air intake chamber 400 and the atomizing chamber 500. The upper part of the atomizing chamber 500 is connected to the air intake pipe 11. When the user inhales, a negative pressure is generated inside the electronic atomizer, triggering the pressure or airflow switch to start operation. Outside air is drawn in through the first air inlet 60, then flows laterally through the air inlet chamber 400, and then upwards through the second air inlet 50. The second air inlet 50, the atomizing chamber 500, and the inhalation tube 11 are located on the same vertical axis, meaning they are vertically connected from bottom to top. The airflow entering upwards through the second air inlet 50 can flow straight upwards through the second air inlet 50, the atomizing chamber 500, and the inhalation tube 11. Figure 4 , Figure 5 The continuous arrows shown indicate the airflow path and direction.
[0036] The bottom of the atomizing chamber 500 is provided with a channel communicating with the condensate collection chamber 100. When the porous atomizing core 4 is working and atomizing, condensate may condense on the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 500. The condensate flows downward and can be collected and stored by the condensate collection chamber 100, preventing leakage to the outside through the second air inlet 50 and the first air inlet 60 or being carried by the airflow into the user's mouth, thus improving the user experience. In this embodiment, the condensate collection chamber 300 is also provided with absorbent cotton 81 and absorbent cotton 82, which can absorb and buffer more atomized liquid, further preventing condensate leakage to the outside.
[0037] The atomizing bracket 3 is located on the lower side of the liquid inlet chamber 200 and has an opening 31 that communicates with the atomizing chamber 500. The porous atomizing core 4 is sealed at the opening 31, that is, the porous atomizing core 4 is sealed at the opening 31 so that the liquid inlet chamber 200 and the atomizing chamber 500 are no longer connected. The two vertical and opposite sides of the porous atomizing core 4 include the liquid inlet surface 4A and the atomizing surface 4B. The liquid inlet surface 4A is vertically and laterally located on the side of the liquid inlet chamber 200, and the atomizing surface 4B is vertically and laterally located on the side of the atomizing chamber 500. The atomizing surface 4B is parallel to the airflow direction through the atomizing chamber 500.
[0038] When the porous atomizing core 4 is powered on, the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 100 will seep into the porous atomizing core 4 from the liquid inlet surface 4A after passing through the liquid inlet chamber 200, seep out from the atomizing surface 4B and be heated and vaporized to produce aerosol or electronic cigarette smoke. That is, the atomizing liquid is atomized laterally and dispersed into the atomizing chamber 500, and then carried by the airflow parallel to the atomizing surface 4B and discharged through the inhalation tube 11. In this structure, when the user inhales, the aerosol or e-cigarette vapor generated by the porous atomizing core is drawn into the air intake chamber 400 through the second air intake hole 50, flows straight parallel to the atomizing surface 4B, rises, and is expelled from the inhalation port. This generates a strong airflow that directly washes over the atomizing surface 4B, carrying out larger molecules of atomized substances such as sweeteners produced by the atomizing surface 4B. These molecules are then inhaled into the user's mouth in sync with the airflow. Furthermore, since the porous atomizing core is positioned laterally within the atomizing chamber, the e-cigarette vapor does not need to bend and can be directly inhaled by the user. This shortens the distance the vapor travels to the user's mouth, reduces flavor decay, and greatly enhances the flavor reproduction of the vapor. Users can obtain a fuller vapor and taste, resulting in a better user experience.
[0039] A liquid-separating seat 2 is disposed between the inner wall of the nozzle shell 1 and the atomizing support 3. The liquid-separating seat 2 simultaneously seals the gaps between the suction pipe 11 and the smoke outlet 30, the gaps between the inner wall of the nozzle shell 1 and the side wall of the atomizing support 2, and the gaps between the inner wall of the nozzle shell 1 and the side wall of the base 6, preventing the atomizing liquid stored in the liquid storage chamber 100 from leaking outwards through these gaps. For better sealing performance, in this embodiment, the liquid-separating seat 2 is made of silicone material.
[0040] The porous atomizing core 4 is also provided with a seepage plate 9 on one side of the liquid inlet surface. The seepage plate 9 can be made of cotton material to absorb, store and guide the atomizing liquid, so that the liquid inlet surface 4A of the porous atomizing core 4 is kept moist, and to avoid the atomizing liquid suddenly being cut off when the atomizer is inverted, which would cause the atomizing core to burn out due to lack of atomizing liquid.
[0041] Furthermore, the upper surface of the atomizing bracket 3 is provided with an inclined surface 32 that slopes towards the liquid inlet chamber 200. The inclined surface 32 can ensure that more atomizing liquid flows into the liquid inlet chamber 200 and prevent residual atomizing liquid from remaining in the liquid storage chamber 100, so as to consume as much atomizing liquid as possible.
[0042] The porous atomizing core 4 includes a porous liquid-conducting layer 41 and a heating layer 42. The heating layer 42 is applied to the surface of the porous liquid-conducting layer 41, and electrode layers 43 are connected to the left and right sides of the heating layer 42. The porous liquid-conducting layer 41 is made of porous ceramic material through sintering.
[0043] An electrode post 62 is vertically mounted on the base plate 61 of the base 6, and the side of the electrode post 62 is in contact with the electrode layer 43 of the porous atomizing core 4.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and the specific embodiments described above are not intended to limit the present utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made within the scope of the technical concept of the present utility model. All refinements, modifications, or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the above description are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
