Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to a liquid storage device and an atomization device using the liquid storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic cigarettes generally include a casing, inside which is a support frame housing a battery and a circuit board. A spring-loaded pin is located at the top of the support frame, connecting to the circuit board, which in turn connects to the battery. A mating space is located at the top of the casing, where a cartridge is placed. A mouthpiece is located at the top of the cartridge, and a sealing element is located at the bottom. The sealing element has an air inlet, which is connected to the mouthpiece via a tube. An atomizer core is installed inside the tube, which also has an oil inlet. The atomizer core communicates with the e-liquid in the cartridge through the oil inlet. The sealing element also has an electrode post connected to the spring-loaded pin and the atomizer core. The battery, circuit consisting of the circuit board, spring-loaded pin, electrode post, and atomizer core, atomizes the e-liquid.
[0003] For ease of use, a protrusion is designed in the docking space, and a groove is designed on the outside of the cartridge. The cartridge is secured in the docking space through the interaction of the protrusion and the groove. When the cartridge needs to be replaced, it is pulled out forcefully. Due to the rigid fit between the protrusion and the groove, the protrusion is easily damaged. Another method involves placing magnets on the lower surface of the cartridge and the upper surface of the holder. The cartridge and the docking space are engaged by the attraction between the magnets. Considering the stable transmission of current, this method requires a magnet with strong attraction. However, such a strong magnet can easily detach from the lower surface of the cartridge or the upper surface of the holder, causing the electrode post and the cartridge pin to separate, and the cartridge to malfunction.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an electronic cigarette to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0037] the following Figure 1-8A vaporizer with a locking mechanism includes: a housing 1, one end of which is provided with a first positioning part 12; a mouthpiece 11 is provided on the upper part of the housing 1; the lower part of the housing 1 is open; the first positioning part 12 is located in the lower part of the housing 1 and penetrates the inner and outer sides of the housing 1; a protruding edge 13 extends downward from the lower end of the housing 1; a groove 14 is formed on the lower surface of the protruding edge 13. Specifically, the housing 1 is made of plastic material, and the cross-section of the housing 1 is square. The cross-sectional area of the lower part of the housing 1 is larger than that of the upper part, which facilitates the installation and removal of the housing 1 in the vertical direction. The first positioning part 12 is hole-shaped and is located on two opposite sides of the housing 1. The protruding edge 13 is located on two opposite sides of the housing 1, and the side where the protruding edge 13 is located is adjacent to the side where the first positioning part 12 is located. Viewed vertically, the protruding edge 13 is below the position of the first positioning part 12.
[0038] A body 2 is installed at the opening of the housing. The body 2 is made of plastic material. The ends of the body 2 are provided with a first fixing part 233, a second fixing part 234, and an operating part 235. The first fixing part 233 and the second fixing part 234 are both groove-shaped structures, while the operating part 235 is a protruding structure. The first positioning part 12 and the first fixing part 233 are interlocked. Specifically, the body 2 includes a first support 22 and a second support 23. The first support 22 is located above the second support 23. The first support 22 is circular, and the second support 23 is square. The upper part of the bracket 22 is used to dock the cartridge 3. The lower part of the second bracket 23 extends downward to form a first locking edge 231. The two first locking edges 231 are arranged opposite to each other. The first fixing part 233 is located outside the first locking edge 231. The operating part 235 extends downward and outward from the first fixing part 233. The operating part 235 is located at the free end of the first fixing part 233. In this way, a small force can be used to press the operating part 235, and the operating part will move inward together with the first fixing part 233. When the operating part 235 is released, the operating part 235 moves freely back to the initial position. The lower part of the second bracket 23 extends downward into a second locking edge 232. The two second locking edges 232 are arranged opposite to each other. The first locking edge 231 and the second locking edge 232 are adjacent to each other and independent of each other. There is a gap between the first locking edge 231 and the second locking edge 232 to facilitate the swinging of the first locking edge 231 and the second locking edge 232. The second fixing part 234 is located outside the second locking edge 232. The first locking edge 231 and the second locking edge 232 have a certain elasticity. In particular, the first locking edge 231 can be squeezed inward by hand to make the operating part 235 move inward, which drives the first fixing part 233 to move inward. After the hand is removed from the operating part 235, the operating part 235 moves outward by its own elasticity, and the first fixing part 233 and the operating part 235 return to their initial positions.
[0039] A lock case 4 is installed at the end of the main body 2. The lock case 4 is made of metal or plastic and is square in shape. The lock case 4 is provided with a first locking part 421 and a second locking part 431. The operating part 235 is engaged with the first locking part 421, and the second fixing part 234 is engaged with the second locking part 431. Specifically, the lock case 4 includes a base plate 41. The base plate 41 extends upward with a first side plate 42 and a second side plate 43. The two first side plates 42 are arranged opposite each other, and the two second side plates 43 are arranged opposite each other. The first side plates 42 and the second side plates 43 are connected to each other. The first locking part 421 is opened on the first side plate 42, and the second locking part 431 is opened on the second side plate 43. The base plate 41 also has a charging port 411 and an air inlet 412. The charging port 411 is located at the center of the base plate 41, and the air inlet 412 is located on both sides of the charging port 411.
[0040] By operating the operating part 235, the operating part 235 and the first holding part 421 are separated, and the first positioning part 12 and the first fixing part 233 are separated, so as to separate the housing 1 from the body 2. By pressing the operating part 235 by hand, the operating part 235 disengages from the first holding part 421. At the same time, the operating part 235 drives the first fixing part 233 to move inward, and the first fixing part 233 also disengages from the first positioning part 12. Then, the housing 1 is pulled upward, and the housing 1 separates from the locking shell 4. Continuing to pull the housing 1 upward, the housing 1 separates from the body 2, exposing the cartridge 3 in the body 2, making it easy to replace the cartridge 3. After inserting the new cartridge 3 into the body 2, the housing 1 is then fitted onto the outside of the body 2 from top to bottom. Continuing to push the housing 1 downward, the operating part 235 moves inward first and then outward, so that the housing 1 and the locking shell 4 are assembled. The first positioning part 12 and the first fixing part 233 are engaged, and the operating part 235 and the first holding part 421 are engaged. After the engagement is completed, the assembly between the cartridge and the body is also completed, preventing the cartridge and the body from becoming loose, preventing relative movement between the cartridge and the body in the vertical direction, and preventing poor contact between the cartridge and the body.
[0041] By moving the operating part 235 inward, wear between the first positioning part 12 and the first fixing part 233 can be avoided, allowing the housing 1 to be separated from the body 2. Alternatively, when assembling the housing 1 and the body 2, the operating part 235 can be pushed inward first to prevent the first positioning part 12 and the first fixing part 233 from contacting. Once the housing 1 is in place, the operating part 235 can be released, allowing the operating part to enter the first holding part 421 and the first fixing part 233 to enter the first positioning part 12. This completes the latching between the body and the housing, as well as the latching between the body and the lock housing. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0042] The bottom end of the second retaining edge 232 extends outward by a step 236. The outer side of the step 236 is located inside the second side plate 43. The second fixing part 234 is located above the step 236. The upper surface of the second fixing part 234 is used to abut against the lower surface of the groove 14, and the step 236 is used to abut against the lower surface of the protruding edge 13. This can further position the housing 1 and prevent the housing 1 from not entering the predetermined position during assembly. The step 236 itself is elastic and can also increase the firmness between the step 236 and the inner wall of the housing 1, preventing the housing 1 from sliding relative to the second bracket 23.
[0043] The first bracket 22 is equipped with a circuit board 51 and a battery 52. The second bracket 23 is equipped with a charging board 53. The charging board 53 is connected to the battery 52, and the battery 52 is connected to the circuit board 51. The cartridge 3 is connected to the circuit board 51 via a spring pin 54. The charging board 53 can prevent the battery 52 from overcharging during charging, and the circuit board 51 can control the output power of the battery 52. The second bracket 23 has a connector 238 corresponding to the charging port 411 and an air intake channel 237 corresponding to the air intake hole 412. The air intake channel 237 is located on both sides of the connector 238. The connector 238 can be used to connect to a charger, and the air intake channel 237 allows outside air to flow into the cartridge 3.
[0044] The main body 2 also includes a shell 21, with the cartridge 3 mounted on the upper part of the shell 21. The shell 21 has a circular cross-section, and the cartridge 3 has a circular cross-section, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the cartridge 3 from the shell 21. The first support 22 and the second support 23 are both mounted on the lower part of the shell 21. The upper part of the cartridge 3 is provided with an air outlet 32, which is connected to the mouthpiece 11 on the upper part of the shell 1. After the shell 1 is installed, the lower part of the mouthpiece 11 of the shell 1 is inserted into the air outlet 32 of the cartridge 3, which can position the upper part of the shell 1 and prevent the shell 1 from being installed off-center. The cartridge 3 includes a shell 31, with an air outlet 32 at the upper part and a sealing element 33 at the lower part. The sealing element 33 has an air inlet groove 34, which is connected to the air outlet 32 via a tube 35. An atomizing core 36 is installed inside the tube 35, which has an oil inlet hole. The atomizing core 36 is connected to the e-liquid inside the shell 31 via the oil inlet hole, and the atomizing core 36 is connected to the cartridge 3 via a lead wire.
[0045] The circuit is as follows: the battery 52 provides power to the spring pin 54 through the circuit board 51, which is elastically connected to the atomizer core 36. When the atomizer core 36 is powered on, it generates heat and forms a loop current. When the battery 52 is depleted, it connects to an external charger through the plug interface 238, so that the charger can charge the battery 52 through the charging board 53. The atomizer core 36 generates heat to atomize the e-liquid.
[0046] The air path is as follows: outside air enters the air intake channel 237 through the air intake hole 412, flows upward along the air intake channel 237, enters the gap between the first bracket 22 and the housing 21, continues to flow upward, enters the air intake groove 34, and flows upward along the tube body 35. When the air passes through the atomizing core 36, it carries away the atomized smoke and flows out from the air outlet 32 and the mouthpiece 11.
[0047] The oil circuit is as follows: e-liquid flows into the atomizer core 36 through the oil inlet. The atomizer core 36 continuously atomizes the e-liquid, and the continuous flow of e-liquid into the atomizer core 36 achieves a dynamic balance.
[0048] 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.
