Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and more specifically to an electronic atomization device and atomization apparatus thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic atomization devices utilize the thermal effect of electronic heating elements to heat and atomize an atomizing substrate, thereby generating volatile substances such as aerosols. An electronic atomization device includes an atomizer, which contains an atomizing component and stores the atomizing substrate. The atomizing component heats the atomizing substrate to produce an aerosol. However, the limited volume of the atomizer results in a small mass of atomizing substrate that can be stored, necessitating frequent atomizer replacements or replenishment of the atomizing substrate.

[0003] In related technologies, a liquid storage bottle (or liquid storage container) is connected to the atomizer to replenish the atomizing matrix, thereby solving the problem of insufficient atomizing matrix. However, in this device, because the inner wall of the liquid supply channel between the liquid storage bottle and the atomizer is smooth, air bubbles are easily generated on its wall surface, causing the liquid supply channel to be blocked by air bubbles. This results in unstable and insufficient replenishment of the atomizing matrix, and ultimately, the phenomenon of wick clogging occurs due to insufficient liquid supply. Utility Model Content

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, the number of capillary channels is 1-10.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments, the axis of the liquid supply channel is a straight line extending in the assembly direction of the liquid replenishment mechanism and the atomizing device.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments, there are two liquid supply channels, and the two liquid supply channels are arranged side by side in the direction perpendicular to the assembly direction of the liquid replenishment mechanism and the atomizing device.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the atomizing device is provided with a mounting groove, the liquid replenishment mechanism is provided with a mounting protrusion, and the mounting protrusion is detachably connected to the mounting groove; one end of the liquid supply channel is disposed in the mounting groove, and the other end is detachably connected to the mounting protrusion.

[0017] This application provides an atomizing device, comprising:

[0018] A first liquid storage chamber is used to store the atomized matrix;

[0019] Atomizing component, the atomizing component being connected to the first liquid storage chamber, for heating the atomizing matrix to form an aerosol; and

[0020] A liquid supply channel is provided, one end of which is connected to the first liquid storage chamber and the other end is detachably connected to the liquid replenishment mechanism, for transferring the atomized matrix in the liquid replenishment mechanism to the first liquid storage chamber; at least one capillary channel is provided on the inner wall of the liquid supply channel, and at least one capillary channel is used to accelerate the speed at which the atomized matrix is ​​transferred from the liquid replenishment mechanism to the first liquid storage chamber.

[0021] According to the electronic atomizing device and its atomizing apparatus in this embodiment, the electronic atomizing device includes an atomizing apparatus, a liquid replenishment mechanism, and a liquid supply channel.

Simultaneously, the capillary effect effectively guides the flow of the atomizing matrix and expels gas from the supply channel, allowing it to pass quickly along the capillary channel. This promotes smooth flow of the atomizing matrix, ensuring the stability of the liquid supply from the replenishment mechanism and effectively preventing wick clogging. Attached Figure Description

[0035] It should be further noted that the atomizing matrix in this article is a liquid matrix.

[0036] This application provides an electronic atomizing device capable of heating the aforementioned atomizing matrix to form an aerosol for user use.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The electronic atomizing device includes an atomizing device 100, a replenishing mechanism 200, and a supply channel 300. The atomizing device 100 includes a first liquid storage chamber 120 and an atomizing component 130. The first liquid storage chamber 120 is used to store the atomizing matrix, and the atomizing component 130 is used to heat the atomizing matrix to form an aerosol. The replenishing mechanism 200 is detachably connected to the atomizing device 100. The replenishing mechanism 200 includes a second liquid storage chamber 220, which is used to store the atomizing matrix. One end of the supply channel 300 is connected to the atomizing device 100 and communicates with the first liquid storage chamber 120, and the other end is connected to the replenishing mechanism 200, for transferring the atomizing matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 220 to the first liquid storage chamber 120. At least one capillary channel 310 is provided on the inner wall of the supply channel 300, and the at least one capillary channel 310 is used to accelerate the speed at which the atomizing matrix is ​​transferred from the second liquid storage chamber 220 to the first liquid storage chamber 120.

[0038] By incorporating the replenishment mechanism 200, the atomizing matrix can be replenished into the atomizing device 100, overcoming the small capacity limitation of traditional atomizing devices 100 and thus improving the battery life and extended lifespan of electronic atomizing devices. The replenishment mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100 are two independent structures. The atomizing device 100 includes a first housing 110, and the replenishment mechanism 200 includes a second housing 210. The first housing 110 and the second housing 210 are independent of each other. The first housing 110 forms the overall appearance of the atomizing device 100 and has an internal space for assembling the atomizing device 100. It also forms a first liquid storage chamber 120 for directly storing the atomizing matrix or an intermediate medium containing the atomizing matrix (such as a storage cotton). The second housing 210 forms the overall appearance of the replenishment mechanism 200 and forms a second liquid storage chamber 220 for storing the direct atomizing matrix.

[0039] The liquid supply channel 300 is located on one side of the first housing 110 and passes through the first housing 110 to communicate with the first liquid storage chamber 120 inside it. The liquid supply channel 300 can be integrated with the atomizing device 100 or can be detachably connected to the atomizing device 100. The first liquid storage chamber 120 is provided with a liquid inlet 121. One end of the liquid supply channel 300 is detachably connected to the liquid inlet 121. When the replenishing mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100 are connected, the liquid supply channel 300 is installed between the replenishing mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100 to achieve liquid circuit communication. When not in use, the liquid supply channel 300 can be disassembled for easy storage or cleaning.

[0040] The second liquid storage chamber 220 is also provided with a liquid outlet 221. The liquid supply channel 300 is detachably connected to the liquid outlet 221. When the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100 are connected, they can communicate with the second liquid storage chamber 220 through the liquid outlet 221. When not in use, the liquid supply channel 300 can be disassembled for easy storage or cleaning.

[0041] To prevent leakage of the atomized matrix of the liquid in the replenishment mechanism 200, a sealing element 230 is also provided on the liquid outlet 221. The sealing element 230 can seal the liquid outlet 221, and the liquid supply channel 300 can pierce the sealing element 230 and connect with the liquid outlet 221.

[0042] In some embodiments, the sealing element 230 is made of elastic sealing silicone, which is readily available and has good elasticity and sealing performance.

[0043] Because the inner wall of the liquid supply channel 300 is provided with multiple capillary channels 310, air bubbles cannot form on the inner wall of the liquid supply channel 300 to block it, thus ensuring smooth and stable liquid supply. At the same time, under the capillary effect of the capillary channels 310, the flow of the atomizing matrix can be effectively guided, and the gas inside the liquid supply channel 300 can be discharged, allowing the gas to pass quickly along the capillary channels 310, thereby promoting the smoothness of the atomizing matrix flow, ensuring the stability of the liquid supply of the replenishment mechanism 200, and effectively avoiding the occurrence of core clogging.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the electronic atomizing device further includes a power supply assembly 500, which includes a control board 520 and a battery 510 electrically connected to each other. The power supply assembly 500 provides power to the atomizing device 100 and controls and adjusts the stability (or power output) of the atomizing device 100. The power supply assembly 500 also includes an electrode portion 530, which can be electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 130. The electrode portion 530 can be a conductive spring or an electrode post, which can be inserted into the first housing 110 and electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 130.

[0045] In some embodiments, the power supply component 500 and the atomizing device 100 are two independent structures, detachably connected. The power supply component 500 and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 are smaller in volume than the atomizing device 100. Both the power supply component 500 and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 are located on the same side of the atomizing device 100, effectively utilizing the volume of the atomizing device 100 and reducing the size occupied by the electronic atomizing device. Specifically, in use, the power supply component 500 and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 are arranged side-by-side vertically and on the same side of the atomizing device 100 laterally.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power supply component 500 has a connecting protrusion, and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 has a connecting groove. The connecting groove and the connecting protrusion cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between the power supply component 500 and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200. Specifically, the connecting groove can be formed by a vertical recess in the second housing 210, and the connecting protrusion can be formed by a vertical protrusion in the power supply component 500. Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the connecting protrusion and the connecting groove can be interchanged.

[0047] In some embodiments, at least one capillary channel 310 is uniformly arranged along the circumference of the liquid supply channel 300, so that the gas is discharged uniformly and the atomized matrix can be uniformly and quickly guided from the second liquid storage chamber 220 to the first liquid storage chamber 120.

[0048] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the inner wall of the liquid supply channel 300 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 320, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the liquid supply channel 300 to form a capillary channel 310 between two adjacent protrusions 320. The protrusions 320 are integrally formed with the liquid supply channel 300. Of course, the capillary channel 310 can also be formed by forming a groove on the inner wall of the liquid supply channel 300. The surface of the protrusion 320 facing the center of the liquid supply channel 300 is planar, and the cross-section of the protrusion 320 in the axial direction of the liquid supply channel 300 is rectangular, trapezoidal, semi-circular, or triangular.

[0049] In some embodiments, the protrusion 320 is a strip-shaped structure extending axially along the liquid supply channel 300. The liquid supply channel 300 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the first liquid storage chamber 120, and the second end is connected to the second liquid storage chamber 220. The protrusion 320 is a strip-shaped structure that can guide the atomizing matrix to flow from the second end to the first end along the axial direction of the liquid supply channel 300, and guide the gas to be discharged from the second end to the first end.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the capillary channel 310 has a depth D, a width W, and a length L. The depth D of the capillary channel 310 in the radial direction of the liquid supply channel 300 is defined as the depth D, the width W in the circumferential direction of the liquid supply channel 300 as the width W, and the length L in the axial direction of the liquid supply channel 300 as the length L. The dimensions of the capillary channel 310 are designed to be small to facilitate liquid transfer via capillary effect. Specifically, the depth D of the capillary channel 310 in the radial direction of the liquid supply channel 300 is 0.1 mm to 2 mm; and / or, the width W of the capillary channel 310 in the circumferential direction of the liquid supply channel 300 is 0.1 mm to 2 mm; and / or, the length L of the capillary channel 310 in the axial direction of the liquid supply channel 300 is 0.1 mm to 10 mm.

[0051] In some embodiments, the number of capillary channels 310 is 1-10, and the number and size of the capillary channels 310 are also related, designed to ensure smooth liquid supply and convenient cutting. Optionally, the number of capillary channels 132 is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the axis of the liquid supply channel 300 is a straight line extending in the assembly direction X of the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100, which reduces the resistance to liquid flow and gas discharge, and further effectively ensures stable and sufficient liquid supply.

[0053] Based on the usage habits of the electronic atomizing device 100, the electronic atomizing device 100 is placed vertically. In some embodiments, the assembly direction X of the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100 is perpendicular to the vertical direction. At this time, the liquid supply channel 300 also extends horizontally. During the replenishment of the atomizing matrix, the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 may be unable to continue supplying liquid to the atomizing device 100 due to the pressure balance between the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 and the outside world. Ultimately, the wick will become clogged due to insufficient liquid supply. To solve this problem, two liquid supply channels 300 are provided, and the two liquid supply channels 300 are arranged side by side along the assembly direction X (vertical direction) of the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, the distance between the two liquid supply channels 300 along the assembly direction X (vertical direction) of the replenishment mechanism 200 and the atomizing device 100 ranges from 0.5mm to 50mm, so as to effectively ensure that the pressure of the upper liquid supply channel 300 is greater than that of the lower liquid supply channel 300. Under the action of pressure difference, the atomizing matrix is ​​stably and continuously replenished into the atomizing device 100 from the lower liquid supply channel 300.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the atomizing device 100 is provided with a mounting groove 111, and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 is provided with a mounting protrusion 211. The mounting protrusion 211 is detachably connected to the mounting groove 111. One end of the liquid supply channel 300 is disposed in the mounting groove 111, and the other end is detachably connected to the mounting protrusion 211. The mounting groove 111 is oriented laterally, and the mounting protrusion 211 protrudes laterally from the second housing 210. The mounting protrusion 211 and the mounting groove 111 are matched to achieve an effective connection between the atomizing device 100 and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the mounting protrusion 211 and the mounting groove 111 can be interchanged.

[0056] In some embodiments, magnetic elements 400 are further provided on the corresponding sides of the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 to enable the atomizing device 100 and the liquid replenishment mechanism 200 to be magnetically connected. The magnetic elements 400 may be provided on the mounting groove 111 and the corresponding mounting protrusion 211.

[0057] This application also provides an atomizing device 100, including a first liquid storage chamber 120, an atomizing component 130, and a liquid supply channel 300. The various structures of the atomizing device 100 have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0058] The above examples illustrate this application only to aid understanding and are not intended to limit its scope. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented.
