Description

Liquid reservoir and its atomizing device Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to a liquid reservoir and its atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] Nebulizers typically have a reservoir for storing liquid matrix. However, some nebulizers use an injection-type liquid filling method. This means that the nebulizer's own reservoir does not store liquid matrix when it leaves the factory. Instead, a reservoir containing liquid matrix is ​​inserted into the nebulizer during use to fill the reservoir with liquid matrix, which is then further atomized by the nebulizer.

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned liquid injection methods, the flow rate of the liquid matrix in the reservoir into the reservoir chamber of the atomizer is often small, resulting in an excessively long liquid replenishment time for the atomizer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of this application provide a liquid reservoir and its atomizing device, which can increase the flow rate of the liquid matrix in the liquid reservoir into the liquid reservoir chamber of the atomizer, thereby shortening the liquid replenishment time.

[0005] This application provides a liquid reservoir, including a liquid storage chamber, a pusher and a separator within the liquid storage chamber, the pusher being movably disposed within the liquid storage chamber; the separator is configured to divide the liquid storage chamber into a first cavity and a second cavity, the separator having a plurality of first through holes and second through holes, the first through holes being used to connect the first cavity and the second cavity, at least a portion of the pusher's structure passing through the second through holes; the pusher having a liquid guiding channel, the first end of the liquid guiding channel being connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid storage chamber, and the second end of the liquid guiding channel being connected to the second cavity;

[0006] The second chamber is used to store the liquid matrix. The pusher is configured to have a first relative position and a second relative position. When the pusher moves from the first relative position to the second relative position under the action of an external force, the gas in the first chamber enters the second chamber through the first through hole to increase the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix, thereby causing the liquid matrix to move along the liquid guiding channel to the liquid outlet.

[0007] In some embodiments, when the outlet is oriented toward the first direction, during the movement of the pusher from the first relative position to the second relative position, the second end of the liquid guiding channel is configured to always be located below the liquid surface of the liquid matrix in the second cavity.

[0008] In some embodiments, the reservoir is provided with a high-pressure gas chamber for storing high-pressure gas, and the inner wall of the pusher or the first chamber is provided with a venting structure for releasing the high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas chamber to the first chamber when the pusher is in the second relative position.

[0009] In some embodiments, the venting structure includes a puncture structure for puncturing the high-pressure gas chamber.

[0010] In some embodiments, the venting structure includes a venting switch, and the high-pressure air chamber includes an outlet and an outlet valve. When the pusher is in the first relative position, the outlet valve closes the outlet; when the pusher is in the second relative position, the venting switch controls the outlet valve to open the outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the pusher includes:

[0012] The middle part, a portion of which is disposed in the first cavity, and another portion of which passes through the second through hole and is disposed in the second cavity, and the liquid guiding channel is disposed through the middle part;

[0013] The pusher end is located at one end of the middle portion near the liquid outlet;

[0014] A circumferential portion is provided at the position of the middle portion corresponding to the first cavity, and the edge of the circumferential portion is fitted to the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity. The first cavity is formed between the circumferential portion and the separator.

[0015] In some embodiments, the liquid storage chamber is further provided with an elastic element and a limiting element; the limiting element is located on the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber, the elastic element is arranged around the outside of the middle part, one end of the elastic element acts on the end of the pusher, and the other end of the elastic element acts on one side of the limiting element; wherein, the elastic element is used to apply an elastic force toward the liquid outlet to the end of the pusher, so that the pusher is held in the first relative position when no external force is applied.

[0016] In some embodiments, the separator is circumferentially sealed to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank.

[0017] In some embodiments, a limiting structure is provided on the inner wall of the liquid storage tank, the limiting structure being used to restrict the movement of the separator along the inner wall of the liquid storage tank.

[0018] Embodiments of this application also provide an atomizing device, including an atomizer and a liquid reservoir as described above, wherein the atomizer and the liquid reservoir are detachably connected.

[0019] The atomizer has a pressure member, and the reservoir has a pusher member. The pressure member is configured to push the pusher member to a second relative position when the reservoir is installed on the atomizer, so as to connect the second chamber of the reservoir with the atomizer. The reservoir can provide a liquid matrix to the atomizer, and the atomizer is used to atomize the liquid matrix into an aerosol.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this application are: this application divides the liquid storage chamber in the liquid reservoir into two chambers by a separator, and the gas in the first chamber enters the second chamber by a pusher, thereby increasing the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix in the second chamber, thereby increasing the speed and flow rate of the liquid matrix in the second chamber into the liquid storage chamber of the atomizer, and thus reducing the liquid replenishment time of the atomizer.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. One embodiment of this application provides a liquid reservoir 100, including a liquid storage chamber 10. The liquid storage chamber 10 is provided with a pusher 11 and a separator 12. The pusher 11 is movably disposed within the liquid storage chamber 10. The separator 12 is configured to divide the liquid storage chamber 10 into a first cavity 13 and a second cavity 14. The separator 12 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 121 and second through holes 122. The first through holes 121 are used to connect the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14. At least a portion of the structure of the pusher 11 passes through the second through holes 122. The pusher 11 is provided with a liquid guiding channel 111. The first end 1111 of the liquid guiding channel 111 is connected to the liquid outlet 15 of the liquid storage chamber 10, and the second end 1112 of the liquid guiding channel 111 is connected to the second cavity 14.

[0037] The second chamber 14 is used to store the liquid matrix. The pusher 11 is configured to have a first relative position and a second relative position. When the pusher 11 moves from the first relative position to the second relative position under the action of external force, the gas in the first chamber 13 enters the second chamber 14 through the first through hole 121 to increase the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix, thereby causing the liquid matrix to move along the liquid guiding channel 111 to the liquid outlet 15.

[0038] In this embodiment, the liquid reservoir 100 can be used to supply or replenish liquid to the liquid storage chamber 203 in the atomizer 40. In this embodiment, a separator 12 is further provided to divide the liquid storage chamber 10 into a first chamber 13 and a second chamber 14. The first chamber 13 naturally stores gas, while the second chamber 14 is used to store liquid matrix. When the liquid reservoir 100 is used to supply or replenish liquid to the liquid storage chamber 203 of the atomizer 40, the liquid matrix in the second chamber 14 is introduced into the liquid storage chamber 203 of the atomizer 40.

[0039] In this embodiment, the separator 12 divides the liquid storage tank 10 into a first chamber 13 and a second chamber 14, and provides a plurality of first through holes 121 and second through holes 122. The first through holes 121 are used to connect the first chamber 13 and the second chamber 14, so that gas in the first chamber 13 can enter the second chamber 14 through the first through holes 121, thereby increasing the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix in the second chamber 14. The second through holes 122 are used to install the pusher 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the pusher 11 cooperates with the separator 12 to squeeze the gas in the first chamber 13 into the second chamber 14, thereby increasing the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix in the second chamber 14. The pusher 11 is configured with a first relative position and a second relative position. In one embodiment, the first relative position is the position where the pusher 11 does not drive the gas flow in the first chamber 13, i.e., it is located on the side of the first chamber 13 away from the separator 12; the second relative position is the position where the gas in the first chamber 13 has been squeezed into the second chamber 14, i.e., it is located on the side of the first chamber 13 as close as possible to the separator 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pusher 11 is further provided with a liquid guiding channel 111, so that when the pusher 11 moves from the first relative position to the second relative position, the liquid matrix in the second cavity 14 is pressurized into the liquid guiding channel 111, and then enters the liquid storage chamber 203 of the atomizer 40 from the liquid outlet 15. In this embodiment, when the liquid storage tank 100 is installed in the atomizer 40, the liquid matrix can enter the liquid storage chamber 203 of the atomizer 40 through the liquid outlet 15 of the liquid storage tank 10.

[0042] In one embodiment, when the liquid storage chamber 203 in the atomizer 40 is equipped with a liquid storage element, the liquid supply or replenishment through the liquid storage device 100 of this application can fully lubricate the liquid storage element, avoiding the situation where the liquid storage element is not sufficiently lubricated and the coil burns when the liquid replenishment time of the atomizer 40 is too long.

[0043] In one embodiment, using the liquid reservoir 100 of this application to supply or replenish liquid to the atomizer 40 allows the liquid matrix within the reservoir 100 to be pushed into the reservoir by a pressure difference, thereby achieving the effect of instantaneous wick lubrication. During initial use, a large instantaneous flow rate can be obtained to lubricate the wick, and a relatively constant flow rate can be maintained during subsequent use for replenishment.

[0044] In one embodiment, the liquid reservoir 100 of this application can achieve a high instantaneous flow velocity of the liquid matrix during liquid supply or replenishment. By squeezing the liquid matrix in the second chamber 14 through the pusher 11, a larger flow rate is instantly obtained through the liquid guiding channel 111, which quickly wets the liquid reservoir at the atomizing core 206, allowing the user to use it quickly after installation without dry burning.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, the outlet 15 faces the first direction. During the movement of the pusher 11 from the first relative position to the second relative position, the second end 1112 of the liquid guiding channel 111 is configured to always be located below the liquid surface of the liquid matrix in the second cavity 14.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first direction is the direction in which the liquid outlet 15 faces upward. In this direction, as the pusher 11 moves from the first relative position to the second relative position, the second end 1112 of the liquid guiding channel 111, that is, the second end 1112 communicating with the second cavity 14, remains below the liquid surface of the liquid matrix, thereby enabling the liquid matrix to stably enter the liquid guiding channel 111 when the gas pressure increases, thus ensuring that the liquid reservoir 100 can stably supply or replenish liquid to the atomizer 40.

[0047] Please continue to refer to Figures 3, 7 and 8 for further improvements to the structure for increasing gas pressure. In one embodiment, the reservoir is provided with a high-pressure gas chamber 16 for storing high-pressure gas. The inner wall of the pusher 11 or the first chamber 13 is provided with a venting structure 112 for releasing the high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas chamber 16 to the first chamber 13 when the pusher 11 is in the second relative position.

[0048] In one embodiment, a high-pressure air chamber 16 is disposed within a first cavity 13, and a venting structure 112 is disposed on a pusher 11. In another embodiment, the high-pressure air chamber 16 is integrally formed with the inner wall of the first cavity 13, i.e., the outer wall of the high-pressure air chamber 16 constitutes part of the inner wall of the first cavity 13, and the venting structure 112 is disposed on the pusher 11. In yet another embodiment, the high-pressure air chamber 16 is fixedly connected to the pusher 11, and the venting structure 112 is disposed on the inner wall of the first cavity 13. The high-pressure air chamber 16 moves with the movement of the pusher 11, and when the pusher 11 moves to a second relative position, the high-pressure air chamber 16 is vented by the venting structure 112.

[0049] In one embodiment, a high-pressure gas chamber 16 is added to the first cavity 13 to store high-pressure gas. A venting structure 112 that can cooperate with the high-pressure gas chamber 16 is provided on the pusher 11. With the cooperation of the two, when the pusher 11 is in the second relative position, the venting structure 112 on the pusher 11 can release the high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas chamber 16. The high-pressure gas enters the second cavity 14 through the first through hole 121, further increasing the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 3, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, the venting structure 112 includes a puncture structure for puncturing the high-pressure gas chamber 16.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the pusher 11 is in the second relative position, the puncturing structure can puncture the high-pressure gas chamber 16, so that the high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas chamber 16 can be released and enter the second chamber 14 through the first through hole 121, thereby increasing the gas pressure on the liquid surface of the liquid matrix in the second chamber 14.

[0052] In another embodiment, the venting structure 112 includes a venting switch, and the high-pressure air chamber 16 includes an air outlet and an air outlet valve. When the pusher 11 is in a first relative position, the air outlet valve closes the air outlet; when the pusher 11 is in a second relative position, the venting switch controls the air outlet valve to open the air outlet.

[0053] In this embodiment, the venting structure 112 is configured as a venting switch, and the high-pressure gas chamber 16 is equipped with a corresponding venting port and venting valve. The venting valve is located on the venting port to control its opening and closing. When the pusher 11 is in the first relative position, the venting valve closes the venting port; when the pusher 11 is in the second relative position, the venting switch controls the venting valve to open the venting port, allowing the high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas chamber 16 to be released and enter the second chamber 14 through the first through hole 121, thereby increasing the gas pressure above the liquid surface of the liquid matrix.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 3, 7, and 8. In one embodiment, the structure of the pusher 11 is improved, and the pusher 11 includes:

[0055] The middle part 113 is located in the first cavity 13, and another part of the middle part 113 passes through the second through hole 122 and is located in the second cavity 14. The liquid guiding channel 111 passes through the middle part 113.

[0056] Pusher end 114 is located at one end of the middle part 113 near the liquid outlet 15.

[0057] The circumferential portion 115 is located at the position of the middle portion 113 corresponding to the first cavity 13. The edge of the circumferential portion 115 is fitted to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10. The first cavity 13 is formed between the circumferential portion 115 and the separator 12.

[0058] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the pusher 11 is further optimized, wherein the middle part 113 is used to pass through the liquid guiding channel 111, and through the second through hole 122, the pusher 11 can move back and forth between the first relative position and the second relative position.

[0059] In this embodiment, the pusher end 114 is provided corresponding to the liquid outlet 15, so that when the pusher end 114 is close to the liquid outlet 15, it fits against the inner wall of the liquid outlet 15. Thus, in the first relative position, the pusher 11 can maintain the sealing performance inside the liquid storage tank 10 and avoid leakage.

[0060] In this embodiment, the circumferential portion 115 is used to cooperate with the separator 12. The edge of the circumferential portion 115 is fitted to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10. The first cavity 13 is formed between the circumferential portion 115 and the separator 12 to maintain the sealing of the first cavity 13. When the pusher 11 moves from the first relative position to the second relative position, the volume of the first cavity 13 gradually shrinks, thereby squeezing the gas in the first cavity 13 and driving the gas inside the first cavity 13 into the second cavity 14.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figures 3, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, the liquid storage tank 10 is further provided with an elastic member 17 and a limiting member 18. The limiting member 18 is located on the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10, and the elastic member 17 is arranged around the outside of the middle part 113. One end of the elastic member 17 acts on the end of the pusher 114, and the other end of the elastic member 17 acts on one side of the limiting member 18. The elastic member 17 is used to apply a spring force toward the outlet 15 to the end of the pusher 114, so that the pusher 11 is held in the first relative position when it is not subjected to external force.

[0062] In this embodiment, an elastic element 17 and a limiting element 18 are further added inside the liquid storage tank 10. The limiting element 18 is located on the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10, specifically on the inner wall between the first cavity 13 and the outlet 15, thereby ensuring that the elastic force of the elastic element can keep the pusher 11 in the first relative position when no external force is applied. The elastic force of the elastic element 17 allows the pusher 11 to remain in the first relative position when no external force is applied, thus sealing the outlet 15 and maintaining the sealing performance of the liquid storage tank 100 when not in use. Furthermore, the elastic element 17 also enables the pusher 11 to return from the second relative position to the first relative position.

[0063] Specifically, during use, when the reservoir 100 is not in use, the pusher 11 is in a first relative position, with the pusher end 114 of the pusher 11 abutting against the inner wall of the outlet 15 to seal the reservoir 10. When the reservoir 100 is in use, the pusher 11 cooperates with the atomizer 40 and gradually moves to a second relative position, allowing the liquid matrix in the second chamber 14 to enter the atomizer 40 along the liquid guide channel 111. At this time, the elastic member 17 is compressed. When the reservoir 100 is separated from the atomizer 40, the elastic member 17 loses pressure, and its own elasticity drives the pusher 11 to return from the second relative position to the first relative position, thereby ensuring that the reservoir 100 remains sealed when not in use.

[0064] In one embodiment, the elastic element 17 is a spring.

[0065] Please continue to refer to Figures 3, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, the separator 12 is sealed to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10 in the circumferential direction.

[0066] In this embodiment, the separator 12 is sealed to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10 in the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring that the gas in the first cavity 13 can only enter the second cavity 14 through the first through hole 121.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figures 3, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, a limiting structure 19 is provided on the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10. The limiting structure 19 is used to restrict the movement of the separator 12 along the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 10.

[0068] In this embodiment, the movement of the separator 12 within the liquid storage chamber 10 is further restricted by the limiting structure 19, so that the separator 12 can be kept in a fixed position, thereby keeping the size of the first chamber 13 and the second chamber 14 fixed, so as to ensure that the pusher 11 can smoothly drive the gas in the first chamber 13 into the second chamber 14.

[0069] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 3, 7 and 8, a plurality of first through holes 121 are arranged around the edge of the separator 12.

[0070] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 3, 7 and 8, the second through hole 122 is located at the center of the separator 12.

[0071] The structure of the liquid reservoir 100 will be further described below. Please refer to Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, the liquid reservoir 100 includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 enclose each other to form a liquid storage chamber 10. The liquid outlet 15 is located at the end of the first housing 101 away from the second housing 102. The first housing 101 is provided with a mounting part 1011 on the side near the second housing 102, and the second housing 102 is provided with a mounting opening 1021 on the side near the first housing 101. The mounting part 1011 is snap-fitted to the inner wall of the mounting opening 1021, or the mounting part 1011 is press-fitted to the inner wall of the mounting opening 1021.

[0072] In this embodiment, the structure of the liquid reservoir 100 is further refined. A first housing 101 and a second housing 102 are assembled to form the liquid reservoir 100's storage chamber 10. Specifically, an installation port 1021 is provided in the second housing 102, and a corresponding installation part 1011 is provided on the first housing 101. The installation part 1011 is snap-fitted or press-fitted into the inner wall of the installation port 1021, thereby achieving the installation of both. The second cavity 14 is located within the second housing 102, a portion of the first cavity 13 is located within the second housing 102, and another portion of the second cavity 14 is located within the first housing 101.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figures 3, 7, and 8. In one embodiment, the first housing 101 is further provided with an extension 1012 on the side near the second housing 102, and the extension 1012 is placed inside the mounting port 1021; the reservoir 100 is further provided with a first sealing member 20, which is disposed in the first cavity 13. The first sealing member 20 has a first sealing part 21, which is disposed between the extension 1012 and the inner wall of the mounting port 1021; wherein, the first sealing part 21 is snap-fitted to the extension 1012, and / or, the first sealing part 21 is provided with a protruding structure 22 near the inner wall of the mounting port 1021, and the first sealing part 21 is press-fitted with the inner wall of the mounting port 1021 through the protruding structure 22.

[0074] In this embodiment, a first sealing element 20 is added inside the reservoir 100. The first sealing element 20 can improve the sealing capability at the connection between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. Specifically, by placing the first sealing portion 21 of the first sealing element 20 between the extension portion 1012 of the first housing 101 and the mounting port 1021 of the second housing 102, the inner walls of the extension portion 1012 and the second housing 102 apply pressure to the first sealing portion 21, thereby improving the sealing performance at the connection between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. Furthermore, the first sealing portion 21 can be snap-fitted to the extension portion 1012. At the same time, the first sealing portion 21 can be interference-fitted with the inner wall of the mounting port 1021 through the protruding structure 22, thereby confining the first sealing portion 21 between the extension portion 1012 of the first housing 101 and the mounting port 1021 of the second housing 102.

[0075] Please continue to refer to Figures 3, 4, 7 and 8. In one embodiment, the reservoir 100 is further provided with a second seal 30, which is externally snapped to the outlet 15. In the first relative position, the pressure member 202 passes through the second seal 30 and then through the outlet 15 to contact the push member 11.

[0076] In this embodiment, the second seal 30 is used to further improve the sealing performance inside the liquid storage tank 10, so that the liquid storage tank 10 remains relatively sealed. After the liquid storage tank 10 is pulled out, the second seal 30 can close the liquid outlet 15, so that the liquid storage tank 100 is less likely to leak when it is shaken, thus meeting the regulatory requirements.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6. One embodiment of this application also provides an atomizing device 1000, including an atomizer 40 and a liquid reservoir 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the atomizer 40 and the liquid reservoir 100 are detachably connected.

[0078] The atomizer 40 has a pressure member 202, and the reservoir 100 has a pusher 11. The pressure member 202 is configured to push the pusher 11 to a second relative position when the reservoir 100 is installed on the atomizer 40, so as to connect the second chamber 14 of the reservoir 100 with the atomizer 40. The reservoir 100 can provide a liquid matrix to the atomizer 40, and the atomizer 40 is used to atomize the liquid matrix into an aerosol.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the reservoir 100 is not assembled with the atomizer 40, the pusher 11 is in a first relative position, keeping the reservoir 10 of the reservoir 100 relatively sealed.
