Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Some electronic atomizers are equipped with airflow sensors. When a user inhales, external gas flows past the airflow sensor, which detects the change in air pressure and transmits a trigger signal to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit then activates the atomizing unit, and the atomized vapor flows out under the influence of the inhaled gas. To ensure the proper functioning of both the atomizing and airflow sensors, their air passages are connected. However, the operation of the atomizing unit produces condensate, which can easily flow through the air passages to the airflow sensor, potentially damaging it. Utility Model Content

[0016] Optionally, the second mounting groove is connected to the inner wall of the outer casing. The side of the second mounting groove facing the outer casing has an air regulating hole. The outer wall of the second mounting groove is recessed to form a sliding groove that communicates with the air regulating hole.

One end of the air regulating component is exposed in the adjustment port, and the other end of the air regulating component extends into the sliding groove. The air regulating component has at least two air passages. The air regulating component can slide along the extension direction of the sliding groove to allow different air passages to communicate with or close the air regulating hole.

[0017] Optionally, the air regulating component includes a pusher and a slider. One end of the pusher is exposed in the regulating port, and the other end of the pusher is connected to the slider. The slider extends into the sliding groove, and the at least two air passages are formed in the slider. The slider has a sliding protrusion on the side facing the outer shell, and the sliding protrusion is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell. The pusher has an anti-slip structure on the side away from the outer shell.

[0018] Optionally, the electronic atomizer further includes a sealing element, which is sealed and fitted into the sliding groove. The sealing element has a connecting hole on the side facing the air regulating hole, and an installation port on the side away from the air regulating hole.

[0021] In the electronic atomizer of this application, the second mounting slot is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the outer shell, and the gas regulating component is connected to the second mounting slot. The air inlet and the gas regulating component's gas regulating channel are independent of each other. When the user inhales, the gas flows into the atomizing component from the gas regulating channel and the air inlet. The air inlet only needs to be wide enough to trigger the airflow sensing component; it does not need to be wide enough for a suitable vapor output, thus making it less likely for condensate in the air inlet to flow to the airflow sensing component.

[0034] This application discloses an electronic atomizer, which includes a housing, a mounting bracket, a connecting member, an airflow sensing component, and an atomizing component. The housing has an air inlet communicating with the outside. The mounting bracket is disposed inside the housing and connected to the housing. The mounting bracket forms a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove. The first mounting groove has a first air hole communicating with the air inlet. The opening of the second mounting groove faces upward and has a second air hole. The connecting member connects the first air hole and the second air hole. The first air hole, the connecting member, and the second air hole together form a bent air inlet channel. The airflow sensing component is disposed in the first mounting groove and communicates with the first air hole. The atomizing component is disposed inside the housing and its bottom end is connected to the second mounting groove. The atomizing component communicates with the second air hole.

[0035] In the electronic atomizer of this application, the airflow sensing component is connected to the first air hole, and the atomizing component is connected to the second air hole. The first air hole, the connecting piece, and the second air hole together form a bent air intake channel. The condensate in the atomizing component is blocked by the connecting piece and will not flow to the airflow sensing component.

[0036] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of the electronic atomizer.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 The electronic atomizer 100 of this application includes a housing 110. The housing 110 may be cylindrical in shape. The housing 110 may be made of materials such as metal, plastic, or glass. The housing 110 may be opaque or transparent. The housing 110 has an air inlet that communicates with the outside, which may be located on the bottom wall or the peripheral side wall of the housing 110.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The electronic atomizer 100 of this application includes a mounting bracket 120, which is disposed within a housing 110 and connected to the housing 110. The mounting bracket 120 and the housing 110 can be connected by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting bracket 120 has a first mounting groove 121 and a second mounting groove 123, with the openings of the first mounting groove 121 and the second mounting groove 123 facing upwards. The first mounting groove 121 has a first air hole 122 communicating with the air inlet, and the second mounting groove 123 has a second air hole 124. In one embodiment, the peripheral outer wall of the first mounting groove 121 is connected to the peripheral outer wall of the second mounting groove 123, and the first mounting groove 121 and the second mounting groove 123 can be integrally formed. The first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124 are respectively formed on the adjacent peripheral outer walls of the first mounting groove 121 and the second mounting groove 123. In other words, the positions of the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124 are close, and the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124 can face the same side of the outer casing 110 circumferentially.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electronic atomizer 100 of this application includes an airflow sensing component 140, which is disposed within a first mounting groove 121 and communicates with an air inlet and a first air port 122. The air inlet, airflow sensing component 140, and first air port 122 form the airflow channel of the airflow sensing component 140. The airflow sensing component 140 may include a microphone. When gas flows through the airflow sensing component 140, the airflow sensing component 140 is triggered in response to changes in air pressure.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 The first mounting groove 121 connects to the inner peripheral wall of the housing 110. The electronic atomizer 100 also includes a circuit board 180 and a control component (not shown). The circuit board 180 is disposed in the second mounting groove 121 and electrically connected to the airflow sensing component 140. The control component passes through the inner peripheral wall of the housing 110, with one end of the control component exposed in the housing 110 and the other end electrically connected to the circuit board 180. Thus, the airflow channel of the airflow sensing component 140 is formed on the side of the housing 110. The airflow sensing component 140, the circuit board 180, and the control component can be arranged together, making the mold structure easier to implement. The circuit board 180 and the control component can be used to control the operation of the atomizing component 150, the airflow sensing component 140, and / or electronic devices such as a display screen (if provided).

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The electronic atomizer 100 of this application includes an atomizing component 150, which is disposed within a housing 110. The bottom end of the atomizing component 150 is connected to a second mounting groove 123, and the atomizing component 150 communicates with a second air hole 124. The atomizing component 150 is used to atomize the atomizing matrix. After the airflow sensor component 140 is triggered, it transmits a trigger signal to a circuit board 180, which controls the atomizing component 150 to start working.

[0042] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The electronic atomizer 100 of this application includes a connecting member 130, which connects a first air hole 122 and a second air hole 124. The connecting member 130 also connects to the outer wall of a first mounting groove 121 through which the first air hole 122 is located and the outer wall of a second mounting groove 123 through which the second air hole 124 is located. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The first air hole 122, the connecting member 130, and the second air hole 124 together form a bent air intake channel. The shape of the air intake channel can be S-shaped, U-shaped, V-shaped, C-shaped, or [-shaped]. Due to the bent design of the air intake channel, the condensate in the atomizing assembly 150 is blocked by the connecting member 130 and will not flow to and damage the airflow sensing assembly 140.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5The outer wall of the first mounting groove 121 and the inner wall of the second mounting groove 123 together form a connecting groove 125 that connects the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124. The connecting member 130 is sleeved in the connecting groove 125. The side of the connecting member 130 facing the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124 (i.e., the open side 133 of the connecting member 130) connects to the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124, and the side of the connecting member 130 away from the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124 (i.e., the connecting side 132 of the connecting member 130) connects to the inner wall of the outer shell 110. Therefore, the connection effect between the connecting member 130 and the mounting bracket 120 and the outer shell 110 is relatively good, and thus the connection effect between the connecting member 130 and the first air hole 122 and the second air hole 124 is relatively good.

[0044] Please see Figure 5 The connecting member 130 is open on the side facing the first vent 122 and the second vent 124, which makes it easy to align the connecting member 130 with the first vent 122 and the second vent 124, facilitates the preparation and connection of the connecting member 130, and reduces the suction resistance of the connecting member 130.

[0045] In one embodiment, the connecting member 130 is made of an elastic material (e.g., silicone, plastic, or rubber), and the connecting member 130 is interference-fitted with the connecting groove 125. See also... Figure 5 In another embodiment, a sealing ring 131 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting member 130. The sealing ring 131 is made of an elastic material and is an interference fit between the outer peripheral wall of the connecting member 130 and the inner peripheral wall of the connecting groove 125. In both embodiments, the connecting member 130 and the connecting groove 125 have a good sealing effect and are not prone to air leakage.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second mounting groove 123 connects to the inner peripheral wall of the outer casing 110. An air regulating hole 126 is provided on the side of the second mounting groove 123 facing the outer casing 110. A groove 127 communicating with the air regulating hole 126 is formed by a recess in the outer wall of the second mounting groove 123. An adjustment port 111 is provided on the outer casing 110 corresponding to the groove 127. The electronic atomizer 100 also includes an air regulating component 160. One end of the air regulating component 160 is exposed in the adjustment port 111, and the other end extends into the groove 127. At least two air passages 163 are provided on the air regulating component 160. The air regulating component 160 can slide along the extension direction of the groove 127 to allow different air passages 163 to communicate with or close the air regulating hole 126. Thus, by pushing the air regulating component 160, the user can adjust the flow rate of the gas inside the outer casing 110 according to their needs, thereby adjusting the amount of mist produced. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3The air intake duct and the air regulating duct of the air regulating component 160 are independent of each other. Under the premise of ensuring the ideal mist output, the air intake duct only needs to ensure that there is a suitable amount of gas inside to trigger the airflow sensing component 140, without having to make it wider for the sake of a suitable mist output. This makes it less likely for condensate in the air intake duct to flow into the airflow sensing component 140.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 The air regulating component 160 includes a pusher 161 and a slider 162. One end of the pusher 161 is exposed in the adjustment port 111, and the other end of the pusher 161 is connected to the slider 162. The slider 162 extends into the slide groove 127, and at least two air passages 163 are formed in the slider 162. A sliding protrusion 164 is provided on the side of the slider 162 facing the outer casing 110, and the sliding protrusion 164 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 110. Therefore, the contact area between the slider 162 and the outer casing 110 is small, and the sliding of the slider 162 is relatively smooth. There can be at least two sliding protrusions 164. An anti-slip structure 167 is provided on the side of the pusher 161 facing away from the outer casing 110, thereby increasing friction and facilitating the user to push the air regulating component 160 to move.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 The electronic atomizer 100 also includes a seal 170, which is fitted into the slide groove 127. The seal 170 may be made of an elastic material and is press-fitted into the slide groove 127. A connecting hole 171 is provided on the side of the seal 170 facing the air regulating hole 126, and a mounting port 172 is provided on the side of the seal 170 away from the air regulating hole 126. A sliding member 162 is installed in the seal 170 through the mounting port 172, and the sliding member 162 is slidably connected to the seal 170. Therefore, the air regulating assembly 160 has a good seal with the air regulating hole 126 and the slide groove 127.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 The sealing element 170 has a rib 174 on the side facing the sliding element 127, and the rib 174 is slidably connected to the sliding element 162. Therefore, the contact area between the sealing element 170 and the sliding element 162 is small, resulting in better sliding performance of the air regulating assembly 160. (See also...) Figure 1 The number of ribs 174 is at least two, some of which can extend circumferentially along the connecting hole 171, while the remaining ribs 174 can extend along the sliding direction of the slider 162. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The bottom end of the seal 170 is provided with a limiting block 173, and the sliding member 162 is recessed corresponding to the limiting block 173 to form a limiting groove 166. The limiting groove 166 is slidably connected to the limiting block 173, thereby enhancing the sliding stability of the sliding member 162. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1The sliding member 162 has a protrusion 165 on its peripheral wall, and the protrusion 165 is slidably connected to the inner peripheral wall of the seal 170. This further reduces the contact area between the sliding member 162 and the seal 170, making the sliding of the sliding member 162 smoother. There can be at least two protrusions 165.
