[0002] In aerosol generation devices, precise airflow regulation is crucial. It directly affects the quality and efficiency of aerosol generation, as well as the user experience. Therefore, many aerosol generation devices are currently equipped with airflow regulating components specifically for fine-tuning the airflow. These airflow regulating components can be broadly classified into two types: active and passive. Active airflow regulating components are typically more complex in structure and require manual adjustment by the user.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The gas regulating component 1 provided in this application embodiment is used in an aerosol generating device. The gas regulating component 1 includes:

[0041] Base component 11; Base component 11 is provided with a first through hole 111;

[0042] Multiple air regulating components 12; Multiple air regulating components 12 are arranged circumferentially along the first through hole 111. Each air regulating component 12 includes a fixed end 121 and a free end 122. The fixed end 121 is connected to the base component 11, and the free end 122 extends toward the first through hole 111 so that the multiple air regulating components 12 at least partially close the first through hole 111.

[0043] The free end 122 can be elastically offset relative to the fixed end 121 to change the closed area of ​​the first through hole 111.

[0044] In this embodiment, the gas regulating component 1 is used in an aerosol generating device. The aerosol generating device typically utilizes an atomizing component 104 to atomize the aerosol generating matrix, thereby generating aerosols for user inhalation or use. The aerosol generating device is equipped with an airflow channel for air circulation. During device operation, air or other gases enter from the inlet, flow along the airflow channel, and interact with other components during the flow, for example, carrying atomized aerosols through the atomization area, and finally flowing out from the outlet for user use. The gas regulating component 1 is disposed on the airflow channel to regulate the airflow within the channel.

[0045] In this embodiment, the air regulating component 1 includes a base component 11 and multiple air regulating components 12. The base component 11 serves as the basic support structure for the air regulating component 1, and the first through hole 111 provided on the base component 11 is the channel for airflow within the air regulating component 1. Multiple air regulating components 12 are arranged circumferentially along the first through hole 111, and each air regulating component 12 has a fixed end 121 and a free end 122. The fixed end 121 is connected to the base component 11, and the free end 122 extends towards the first through hole 111. The free ends 122 of the multiple air regulating components 12 work together to at least partially close the first through hole 111. This partially closed state means that the air regulating components 12 obstruct the airflow passing through the first through hole 111, providing a basis for regulating the airflow.

[0046] The free end 122 of the gas regulating component 12 has the characteristic of elastic offset relative to the fixed end 121. This means that the gas regulating component 12 needs to be made of an elastic material to facilitate this elastic offset. The elastic offset of the gas regulating component 12 can change its closed area relative to the first through hole 111. When airflow passes through the first through hole 111 in the aerosol generating device, the airflow exerts a force on the free end 122 of the gas regulating component 12. Because the free end 122 is elastic, under the influence of the airflow force, the free end 122 will undergo elastic deformation, thereby changing its relative positional relationship with the first through hole 111. When the user's suction force is small, the airflow and pressure difference are also small, and the free end 122 is closer to the center of the first through hole 111. The effective flow area of ​​the first through hole 111 decreases, and the airflow rate decreases accordingly. Conversely, when the user's suction force is large, the airflow is also large. Under the action of the airflow, the free end 122 shifts away from the center of the first through hole 111. The effective flow area of ​​the first through hole 111 increases, and the airflow rate increases, so that the air regulating component 1 achieves adaptive airflow regulation.

[0047] In this embodiment, multiple air regulating components 12 are arranged circumferentially along the first through hole 111. The specific number of air regulating components 12 is set according to requirements, and can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, etc. The synergistic effect of multiple air regulating components 12 allows the closed area of ​​the first through hole 111 to vary over a wider range, thereby making the effective flow area vary more widely. When all air regulating components 12 undergo a significant elastic shift towards the interior of the first through hole 111 under the action of airflow, the closed area of ​​the first through hole 111 reaches its maximum value, and the effective flow area reaches its minimum value. At this time, the airflow rate can be reduced to an extremely low level. Conversely, when all air regulating components 12 elastically shift away from the center of the first through hole 111 to the maximum extent under the action of airflow, the closed area of ​​the first through hole 111 reaches its minimum value, and the effective flow area reaches its maximum value. The airflow rate can be increased to an extremely high level. By using multiple air regulating components 12 in a coordinated manner, a wider range of airflow adjustment can be achieved from extremely low flow rates to extremely high flow rates. Compared to a single air regulating component 12, this greatly improves the range of adjustable airflow, meets the diverse needs of users for airflow adjustment, and enhances the overall performance of the device and the user experience.

[0048] Multiple air regulating components 12 can typically adopt a structure of uniform size, so that the air regulating components 12 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first through hole 111, thereby improving the uniformity of airflow.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the base component 11 is sheet-shaped, and the air regulating component 12 extends along the extension direction of the base component 11 so that the air regulating component 1 is sheet-shaped as a whole.

[0050] In this embodiment, the base component 11 is sheet-like, providing a basic sheet-like structure for the entire air regulating component 1. Since the base component 11 is sheet-like, its extension direction is approximately the direction of the plane in which it lies. Thus, the air regulating component 12 extends along the extension direction of the base component 11, making the base component 11 and the air regulating component 12 approximately on the same plane, thereby making the air regulating component 1 as a whole sheet-like structure. It should be noted that in this embodiment, while the air regulating component 12 extends along the extension direction of the base component 11, the base component 11 and the air regulating component 12 are not strictly on the same plane; a certain deviation between them is permissible, as long as the air regulating component 1 remains sheet-like overall. For example, the upper and lower surfaces of the base component 11 and the air regulating component 12 are not flush, and the base component 11 or the air regulating component 12 may have a slight bend, forming an arc-shaped sheet-like structure.

[0051] The gas regulating component 1 is generally sheet-shaped. This sheet-shaped structure is extremely compact. On the one hand, it can be arranged efficiently in the limited space inside the aerosol generating device; on the other hand, it facilitates the storage and transportation of the gas regulating component 1, reduces the possibility of component damage, and in particular reduces the possibility of damage to the weak free end 122 of the gas regulating component 12.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the first through hole 111 includes an open initial airflow channel 112, and a plurality of air regulating elements 12 are arranged circumferentially along the initial airflow channel 112 so that a plurality of free ends 122 surround the initial airflow channel 112.

[0053] In actual use, some liquid may adhere to the gas regulating components 12, causing them to stick together. In this embodiment, the first through hole 111 includes an open initial airflow channel 112, through which airflow can first pass, forming an initial breakthrough point, thereby reducing the difficulty of opening the gas regulating components 12 due to adhesion or other reasons. The initial airflow channel 112 is actually formed by the circumferential free ends 122. When the airflow flows through the initial airflow channel 112, it will simultaneously impact the free ends 122 of each gas regulating component 12. Since the free ends 122 are elastic, they will elastically deflect under the impact of the airflow, thereby changing the closed area of ​​the initial airflow channel 112. This design cleverly utilizes the impact force of the airflow to regulate the airflow itself, reducing the difficulty of opening the gas regulating components 12.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the width of the air regulating member 12 gradually decreases from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. The length of the air regulating member 12 refers to the distance from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122, the thickness refers to the distance between the two side surfaces, and the width is the gear perpendicular to the length and thickness directions. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the width of the air regulating component 12 at the fixed end 121 is D1, and the width at the free end 122 is D2. The dimension of D1 is significantly larger than that of D2, making the air regulating component 12 have a trapezoidal or triangular structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, the fixed end 121 of the air regulating component 12 has a larger width, which can provide more stable support and stronger structural strength, ensuring that the air regulating component 12 will not easily deform or be damaged under the impact of airflow. As it transitions to the free end 122, the width gradually decreases, making the free end 122 more prone to elastic deformation under the action of airflow, thereby more sensitively regulating the airflow.

[0056] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the air regulating member 12 gradually decreases from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the fixed end 121 of the air regulating component 12 is H1, and the thickness of the free end 122 is H2, with H1 being significantly larger than H2. That is, the fixed end 121 is thicker, while the free end 122 is thinner. The thicker fixed end 121 can better withstand these forces and maintain good elasticity after multiple deformations, preventing the air regulating component 12 from being damaged or falling off. The thinner free end 122 allows it to deform to a certain extent under relatively low airflow pressure, thus ensuring the sensitivity of airflow adjustment. Furthermore, the thinner free end 122 effectively reduces mutual adhesion caused by liquid adhesion. This is because the thinner free end 122 has a smaller area available for liquid adhesion, thereby reducing the possibility of adhesion between multiple free ends 122.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the gas regulating component 1 can be made of silicone, rubber, or polyurethane. Silicone possesses good elasticity, resistance to high and low temperatures, chemical stability, and is non-toxic and odorless; rubber exhibits good elasticity, sealing properties, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance; polyurethane has high strength, good elasticity, oil and solvent resistance, and its hardness and flexibility can be adjusted according to requirements. Currently, silicone is the most commonly used of these three materials. Medical-grade silicone can be used, possessing good biocompatibility and posing no harm to human health, ensuring user safety.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the air regulating component 12 is 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. The air regulating component 12 needs to operate in an airflow environment with a certain pressure. A thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm ensures that it has sufficient strength to withstand the airflow pressure while maintaining a certain degree of elasticity to achieve the airflow regulation function. Specifically, the thickness of the fixed end 121 is close to 0.2 mm, while the thickness of the free end 122 is close to 0.1 mm.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the base component 11 and the gas regulating component 12 are integrally formed. Although the base component 11 and the gas regulating component 12 can be manufactured separately and then assembled, this not only cannot guarantee quality, but also greatly affects production efficiency. In this embodiment, the base component 11 and the gas regulating component 12 are integrally formed, specifically by injection molding, compression molding, or other methods.

[0060] One-piece molding means that there are no gaps or weak points between the base component 11 and the air regulating component 12; they form a continuous and complete whole. This greatly enhances the structural strength and stability of the air regulating component 1, enabling it to better maintain its shape and position when subjected to airflow impact or other external forces, and preventing the air regulating function from being affected by loosening or detachment of the connections between components. Compared to manufacturing the base component 11 and the air regulating component 12 separately and then assembling them, one-piece molding reduces manufacturing steps and process complexity.

[0061] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the gas regulating component 1 includes a first side 13 and a second side 14 opposite to each other. The surface of the first side 13 of the gas regulating component 12 is flush with the surface of the first side 13 of the base component 11, and the surface of the second side 14 of the gas regulating component 12 is recessed relative to the surface of the second side 14 of the base component 11, so that the thickness of the gas regulating component 12 is less than the thickness of the base component 11.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the two opposite sides of the air regulating component 1 are positioned as the first side 13 and the second side 14. The air regulating component 12 and the base component 11 are on the same plane on the surface of the first side 13. This flush design ensures that the side of the air regulating component 1 is flat when assembled with other components, and also facilitates integral molding.

[0063] On the second side 14 of the air regulating component 1, the surface of the air regulating component 12 is lower than the surface of the base component 11, forming a recessed structure. This results in the overall thickness of the air regulating component 12 being less than the thickness of the base component 11. Because the base component 11 serves as the foundation of the overall structure, it requires a thicker thickness to ensure its strength, while the air regulating component 12, because it needs to undergo elastic displacement, requires a relatively thinner thickness to ensure it is easy to deform.

[0064] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the second side 14 of the air regulating member 12 gradually approaches the surface of the first side 13 from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122, so that the thickness of the air regulating member 12 gradually decreases from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122.

[0065] In this embodiment, the surface of the second side 14 of the air regulating component 12 gradually approaches the surface of the first side 13 from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. This means that the second side 14 of the air regulating component 12 forms an inclined surface from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. This inclined surface can, on the one hand, guide the airflow to converge towards the free end 122, making the free end 122 more easily deformed under the action of the airflow and able to respond sensitively to small changes in airflow; on the other hand, the airflow can generate an oblique component force on the air regulating component 12, which is closer to the opening direction of the air regulating component 12, thereby facilitating the opening of the air regulating component 12.

[0066] Furthermore, since the surface of the first side 13 of the air regulating component 12 is flush with the surface of the first side 13 of the base component 11, and the surface of the second side 14 of the air regulating component 12 gradually approaches the surface of the first side 13 from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122, the thickness of the air regulating component 12 gradually decreases from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. The thinner design of the free end 122 allows the air regulating component 12 to more easily undergo elastic deformation when impacted by airflow. Compared to an air regulating component 12 with uniform thickness, this gradually thickened air regulating component 12 can respond more sensitively to changes in airflow.

[0067] Based on the aforementioned gas regulating component 1, this application also provides an aerosol generating device, which includes an airflow channel on which the gas regulating component 1 of any of the above embodiments is disposed. By providing the gas regulating component 1 on the airflow channel of the aerosol generating device, adaptive adjustment of the airflow channel can be achieved, and a large range of adjustment can be achieved. According to design requirements, the gas regulating component 1 can be disposed at any position in the airflow channel of the aerosol generating device, for example, at the air inlet of the housing, on the channels of various internal components, etc.

[0068] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the aerosol generating apparatus includes:

[0069] Bottom cover 2; the bottom cover 2 is provided with a first air hole 21.

[0070] Fixed base 3; Fixed base 3 is connected to bottom cover 2, and a second air hole 31 is provided on fixed base 3. The first air hole 21 and the second air hole 31 are connected to form an airflow channel.

[0071] The air regulating component 1 is disposed between the bottom cover 2 and the fixed base 3, and the first through hole 111 is located between the first air hole 21 and the second air hole 31.

[0072] In this embodiment, the bottom cover 2 is the basic component of the aerosol generating device, and the first air hole 21 on it is the inlet for airflow into the device. The fixed base 3 is connected to the bottom cover 2, and the second air hole 31 on it is the channel for airflow outflow, forming an airflow channel together with the first air hole 21. The air regulating component 1 is disposed between the bottom cover 2 and the fixed base 3, and its first through hole 111 is located between the first air hole 21 and the second air hole 31. It can directly and adaptively regulate the airflow in the airflow channel. It can elastically deform according to the size and pressure of the airflow, changing the closed area of ​​the first through hole 111, thereby precisely controlling the flow rate and speed of the airflow.

[0073] The combined structure of the bottom cover 2, the fixed base 3 and the air regulating component 1 enables airflow regulation at the bottom, away from the atomizing component 104, making the overall layout of the device compact. At the same time, the connection between the components is tight, the airflow channel is simple and smooth, and the size and space occupied by the device are reduced.

[0074] Please see Figure 5 Besides the bottom cover 2 and the mounting base 3, the aerosol generating device also includes a nozzle 101, a housing assembly 102, a liquid storage chamber assembly 103, an atomizing assembly 104, and a battery assembly 105. The liquid storage chamber assembly 103 contains an atomizing chamber and a liquid storage chamber, which are connected by a liquid guiding structure. The atomizing assembly 104 is located within the atomizing chamber. The battery assembly 105 is connected to the liquid storage chamber assembly 103. The nozzle 101 is snap-fitted to the housing assembly 102, and an oil-absorbing assembly 106 is also provided at the nozzle 101. The bottom cover 2 and the mounting base 3 form the basic airflow channel structure, ensuring that external airflow can enter the device in an orderly manner. The nozzle 101, as the part directly in contact with the user, is snap-fitted to the housing assembly 102. This connection method facilitates installation and disassembly, aids in later maintenance, and ensures structural stability. The oil-absorbing assembly 106 at the nozzle 101 effectively prevents liquid from the storage chamber from entering the oral cavity with the airflow during use, improving the user experience and safety.

[0075] The outer casing 102 not only provides protection for the internal components but also influences the overall appearance and portability of the device. The liquid storage chamber 103 is a key component, containing an atomizing chamber and a liquid storage chamber connected by a liquid guiding structure. The liquid storage chamber stores liquid raw materials, and the liquid guiding structure precisely controls the flow of liquid to the atomizing chamber, providing a stable supply of raw materials for the atomization process. Driven by power supplied by the battery assembly 105, the atomizing component 104 within the atomizing chamber converts the liquid entering the chamber into an aerosol. The battery assembly 105, connected to the liquid storage chamber 103, not only powers the atomizing component 104 but also works in conjunction with the entire device's circuitry to ensure the orderly operation of all components. Its power reserve and power supply stability directly affect the device's battery life and performance.

[0076] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom cover 2 is provided with a mounting groove 22, and the first air hole 21 is located in the mounting groove 22; the fixing seat 3 includes an annular flange 32, and the second air hole 31 is provided in the annular flange 32; the air regulating component 1 is provided in the mounting groove 22, and the annular flange 32 abuts against the side of the base component 11 away from the bottom cover 2 to seal the airflow channel.

[0077] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 22 on the bottom cover 2 plays a significant role in the gas regulating component 1 within the aerosol generating device. The size and shape of the mounting groove 22 are designed specifically for the gas regulating component 1, thus providing it with a highly precise installation position. This ensures the gas regulating component 1 remains exceptionally stable during device operation. Regardless of frequent starts and stops causing vibrations, or shaking due to adverse external conditions, the gas regulating component 1 will not shift, guaranteeing its accurate airflow regulation.

[0078] The first air vent 21 on the bottom cover 2 is located inside the mounting groove 22. As soon as the incoming airflow enters the device, it directly contacts the air regulating component 1. Unlike other designs where the airflow loses energy or changes direction during transmission, the airflow can now directly impact the air regulating component 1. The air regulating component 1 can immediately sense changes in parameters such as airflow speed, pressure, and flow rate, and then quickly adjust accordingly, ensuring timely and accurate airflow regulation.

[0079] The mounting base 3 has an annular flange 32, which fits perfectly with the mounting groove 22 on the bottom cover 2. During assembly, the annular flange 32 fits snugly into the mounting groove 22, holding the air regulating component 1 securely in place. This prevents the air regulating component 1 from shaking due to external forces. Furthermore, the annular flange 32 is tightly attached to the side of the base component 11 of the air regulating component 1 that faces away from the bottom cover 2. During installation, the gap between them is extremely small, almost nonexistent. This forms a very good sealing structure. When the device is operating, the airflow will not leak out from the connection between the air regulating component 1 and the bottom cover 2 and mounting base 3; it will only flow along the designed airflow channel, entering through the first air hole 21, being regulated by the air regulating component 1, and then exiting through the second air hole 31. In this way, the energy of the airflow is not wasted; it is all used to generate aerosols, improving the overall performance and efficiency of the device.

[0080] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments of this application, the second side 14 of the air regulating component 1 faces the first air hole 21. As can be seen from the previous embodiments, the surface of the second side 14 of the air regulating component 12 gradually approaches the surface of the first side 13 from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. The second side 14 of the air regulating component 12 forms an inclined surface from the fixed end 121 to the free end 122. This inclined surface can guide the airflow to converge towards the free end 122 and generate a component force that facilitates the opening of the air regulating component 12. By aligning the second side 14 of the air regulating component 1 with the first air hole 21, the airflow entering the first air hole 21 can directly act on the surface of the second side 14 of the air regulating component 12, thereby achieving the above-mentioned effect.

[0081] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
