[0002] An electronic atomizer is an electronic device that atomizes a substrate into a vapor. When a user inhales, a negative pressure is generated inside the atomizer.

In existing electronic atomizers, the sensitivity of the airflow activation sensing component is not high, affecting product performance and the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0037] This application discloses an airway structure and an electronic atomizer. The airway structure includes a plate, a connecting hole, a connecting channel, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet. The plate includes a first plate surface and a second plate surface that are opposite to each other. The connecting hole is formed in the plate and extends through the first and second plate surfaces, and is used to connect to the outside atmosphere. The connecting channel is formed on the first plate surface and / or the second plate surface. The first air outlet is formed in the plate and extends through the first and second plate surfaces, and is used to connect to the nozzle of the atomizing device. The connecting hole, the connecting channel, and the first air outlet are sequentially connected to form a first airway, which can connect to and activate the sensing component of the atomizing device. The second air outlet is formed in the plate and extends through the first and second plate surfaces, and is used to connect the mist intake channel of the atomizing device to the outside atmosphere. The second air outlet is connected to the first air outlet.

[0038] In the airway structure and electronic atomizer of this application, the first airway can connect to and activate the sensing component of the atomizing device, and the first air outlet is connected to the second air outlet. The pressure difference and high-speed flow generated by the second air outlet can increase the negative pressure of the first air outlet, thereby improving the sensitivity of the sensing component to start and making the user experience better.

[0039] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 The airway structure 100 of this application includes a plate 110. The plate 110 is plate-shaped and includes a first plate surface 111 and a second plate surface 112 that are opposite to each other.

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3The airway structure 100 of this application includes a connecting hole 120, a connecting channel, and a first air outlet 151. The connecting hole 120 is formed in the plate 110 and passes through the first plate surface 111 and the second plate surface 112, and is used to directly connect to the outside atmosphere. The connecting channel is formed in the first plate surface 111 and / or the second plate surface 112, and the first air outlet 151 is formed in the plate 110 and passes through the first plate surface 111 and the second plate surface 112, and is used to connect to the nozzle of the atomizing device. The connecting hole 120, the connecting channel, and the first air outlet 151 are sequentially connected to form a first airway, which can connect to and activate the sensing component 200 of the atomizing device. The shapes of the connecting hole 120 and the first air outlet 151 can be circular, elliptical, racetrack-shaped, polygonal, or irregular, etc.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 The connecting channel includes a mounting hole 130, an air passage groove 141, and an air guide groove 142. The mounting hole 130 is formed in the plate 110 and passes through the first plate surface 111 and the second plate surface 112. The shape of the mounting hole 130 can be circular, elliptical, racetrack-shaped, polygonal, or irregular.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 An air passage groove 141 is formed on the second plate surface 112, connecting the connecting hole 120 and the mounting hole 130. The air passage structure 100 includes a connecting cylinder 113 and a guide member 114. The connecting cylinder 113 is disposed on the second plate surface 112, surrounding the connecting hole 120 and the mounting hole 130. The shape of the connecting cylinder 113 can be approximately 8-shaped, thus the shape of the connecting cylinder 113 is well-suited to the shapes of the connecting hole 120 and the mounting hole 130, resulting in a more compact structure for the air passage structure 100. The guide member 114 is disposed within the connecting cylinder 113 and located between the connecting hole 120 and the mounting hole 130. Both ends of the guide member 114 are connected to the connecting cylinder 113, and the guide member 114 is recessed within the connecting cylinder 113. The guide member 114 cooperates with the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 113 to form the air passage groove 141. The connecting cylinder 113 and the guide member 114 can be integrally formed or detachably connected.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 The inner wall of the portion of the connecting cylinder 113 surrounding the mounting hole 130 is provided with a sealing rib 170. The sealing rib 170 extends circumferentially along the connecting cylinder and is made of an elastic material.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A gas guide groove 142 is formed on the first plate surface 111, and the gas guide groove 142 connects the mounting hole 130 and the first gas outlet 151. The gas guide groove 142 is elongated. As a result, the flow path of the first gas channel is relatively long, which has a better effect on gas guidance and concentration.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The airway structure 100 also includes a pressure relief groove 143, which is disposed on the first plate surface 111, and one end of the pressure relief groove 143 is connected to the connecting hole 120. When the connecting hole 120 is accidentally closed, the pressure relief groove 143 can release pressure, thereby preventing the sensing component 200 from starting automatically.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The airway structure 100 also includes a seal 160, which is disposed on the first plate surface 111 and the second plate surface 112. The seal 160 surrounds the first airway and can prevent undesirable leakage of gas within the first airway. As a result, the first airway has high sensitivity to the activation of the wake-up sensing component.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The air passage structure 100 includes a connecting groove 153. The connecting groove 153 is formed on the second plate surface 112 and connects the first air outlet 151 and the second air outlet 152. The connecting groove 153 can guide the gas flowing out of the first air outlet 151 toward the second air outlet 152.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 This application proposes an electronic atomizer, which includes an atomizing device and the aforementioned airway structure 100. The atomizing device has an internal airflow channel and includes a sensing component 200 and a mouthpiece. The sensing component 200 can be a microphone assembly. The sensing component 200 is sealed to a first airway, a portion of which connects to the external atmosphere and one side of the sensing component 200, while the remaining portion connects to the mouthpiece and the other side of the sensing component 200.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the sensing component 200 covers the end of the connecting cylinder 113 away from the second plate surface 112. The sensing component 200 includes a sensor, which is sleeved on the inner wall of the portion of the connecting cylinder 113 surrounding the mounting hole 130. The connecting hole 120 and the air passage groove 141 connect one side of the sensing component 200, and the mounting hole 130, the air passage groove 142, and the first air outlet 141 connect the other side of the sensing component 200. When the user inhales, the gas in the mounting hole 130, the air passage groove 142, and the first air outlet 141 flows to the mouthpiece, creating a pressure difference on both sides of the sensing component 200, triggering the sensing component 200 to start. At the same time, the outside air flows to the mist suction channel through the second air outlet 152. The pressure difference and high-speed flow generated by the second air outlet 152 increase the negative pressure of the first air outlet 151, making the first airway wake-up sensing component 200 highly sensitive to start.

[0050] 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.
