[0015] Compared with the prior art, the airflow regulating component of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The airflow regulating component is used to adjust the air intake volume at the air inlet and to even out the airflow entering the air inlet to reduce airflow noise. The airflow regulating component is installed at the air intake end of the air intake channel, with the air inlet connected to the airflow channel's inlet end and the air outlet connected to the airflow channel's outlet end. The pressure block structure is used to seal the air intake channel and to support the air regulating component and the flow equalization structure.

[0017] With the rotation of the air regulating component, a portion of the airflow first enters the chamber of the pressure block structure through the air inlet. Part of the high-speed airflow entering the chamber is evenly distributed through the teeth of the flow equalization structure, and the other part is evenly distributed through the flow equalization holes. The evenly distributed gas then flows out through the air outlet of the pressure block structure for use. During the adjustment of the air intake, when an increase in air intake is needed, the air regulating component is rotated to enlarge the diameter of the air inlet on the pressure block structure; when a decrease in air intake is needed, the air regulating component is rotated further to reduce the diameter of the air inlet. This utility model provides an airflow regulating component that eliminates noise by evenly distributing gas at the air inlet through the flow equalization structure and flow equalization holes, solving the technical problem of low performance caused by airflow noise in existing airflow regulating components.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This utility model embodiment provides an airflow regulating component, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the airflow regulating assembly includes a pressure block structure 1, an air regulating component 2, and a flow equalization structure 4. The pressure block structure 1 has an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 connected to the air inlet 11. The air regulating component 2 is rotatably disposed at the air inlet 11 to adjust the size of the air inlet 11.

[0036] The flow equalization structure 4 is disposed between the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. The flow equalization structure 4 is connected to the air regulating component 2. The end face of the flow equalization structure 4 has a flow equalization hole 5 that communicates with the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12.

[0037] Specifically, the airflow regulating component is used to regulate the air intake volume at the air inlet 11 and to even out the airflow entering the air inlet 11 to reduce airflow noise generated at the air inlet 11. The airflow regulating component is installed at the air intake end of the air intake channel, with the air inlet 11 connected to the air intake end of the airflow channel and the air outlet 12 connected to the air outlet end of the airflow channel. The pressure block structure 1 is used to seal the air intake channel and to support the air regulating component 2 and the flow equalization structure 4. The air regulating component 2 is rotatably connected to the air inlet 11 and is used to adjust the size of the air inlet 11 during rotation to regulate the air intake volume. The flow equalization structure 4 evens out the airflow at the air inlet 11 to reduce airflow noise. More specifically, the teeth of the flow equalization structure 4 and the flow equalization holes 5 provided on the flow equalization structure simultaneously even out the airflow at the air inlet 11.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, under the rotation of the air regulating component 2, part of the airflow first enters the chamber 13 of the pressure block structure 1 through the air inlet. Part of the high-speed airflow entering the chamber 13 is evenly distributed through the teeth of the flow equalization structure 4, and the other part is evenly distributed through the flow equalization holes 5. The evenly distributed gas flows out through the air outlet 12 of the pressure block structure 1 for use. During the adjustment of the air intake volume, when it is necessary to increase the air intake volume, such as... Figure 4 As shown, rotating the air regulating component 2 increases the diameter of the air inlet 11 on the pressure block structure 1; when it is necessary to reduce the air intake, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the air regulating component 2 is rotated further to reduce the diameter of the air inlet 11. This embodiment of the invention provides an airflow regulating component that uses a flow equalization structure 4 and flow equalization holes 5 to equalize the gas flow at the air inlet 11 to eliminate noise, thus solving the technical problem of low performance caused by airflow noise in existing airflow regulating components.

[0039] It should be noted that the flow equalization structure 4 can be a right-angle gear, a helical gear, or a face gear. In addition, the airflow regulating component also includes a spring plate 3, which is disposed on the pressure block structure 1, and the flow equalization structure 4 abuts against the spring plate 3.

[0040] Specifically, the spring 3 is fixed on the pressure block structure 1 and abuts against the flow equalization structure. When the flow equalization structure 4 is a gear, the spring 3 collides with the upper teeth of the flow equalization structure 4 to produce a collision sound, which is convenient for controlling the air volume.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, end face teeth 41 are provided on both end faces of the flow equalization structure 4.

[0042] Specifically, end face teeth 41 are provided on both end faces of the flow equalization structure 4 to disperse the high-speed airflow at the air inlet 11. The end face teeth 41 on the end face near the air inlet 11 disperse the airflow near the device and discharge it through the air outlet 12. Another part of the airflow flows through the flow equalization hole 5 to the other end face of the flow equalization structure 4. The other end face teeth 41 disperse the airflow flowing in from the flow equalization hole 5 and discharge it through the air outlet 12, thereby improving the airflow noise generated at the air inlet 11 and improving the performance of the airflow regulating component.

[0043] Furthermore, the airflow path is longer and more stable away from the air inlet 11; the airflow velocity is higher near the air inlet 11, making it easier to generate eddies. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of teeth on the end face 41 near the air inlet 11 is greater than the number of teeth on the end face 41 away from the air inlet 11. In addition, the tooth height of the end face 41 near the air inlet 11 is greater than the tooth height of the end face 41 away from the air inlet 11. This makes the airflow more stable and less prone to generating eddies and airflow noise.

[0044] There can be one or multiple flow equalization holes 5. The flow equalization holes 5 can be set on the side wall of the flow equalization structure 4 or on the end face of the flow equalization structure 4.

[0045] Preferably, multiple flow equalization holes 5 are provided, and the multiple flow equalization holes 5 are evenly arranged on the end face of the flow equalization structure 4 along the circumference of the flow equalization structure 4.

[0046] Specifically, multiple flow equalization holes 5 can equalize airflow in relatively multiple directions to improve the flow equalization effect. The flow equalization holes 5 are disposed on the end face of the flow equalization structure 4 so that airflow entering from the inlet 11 can directly enter the flow equalization holes 5. Simultaneously, the flow equalization holes 5 extend from one end face of the flow equalization structure 4 to the other end face, thus guiding the airflow at the inlet 11 to the outlet 12 through the flow equalization holes 5, allowing for relatively multiple flow equalization processes. This reduces airflow noise generated at the inlet 11 and outlet 12, improving the performance of the airflow regulating component. The multiple flow equalization holes 5 are evenly arranged circumferentially along the flow equalization structure 4 to distribute the airflow relatively evenly, resulting in a more significant noise reduction effect.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pressure block structure 1 has a chamber 13 that is connected to the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 respectively, and the flow equalization structure 4 is disposed in the chamber 13.

[0048] Specifically, compared to the air intake channel, this embodiment of the invention provides a chamber 13 between the air intake 11 and the air outlet 12. The chamber 13 buffers the incoming airflow to prevent high-speed airflow from rubbing against the inner wall of the pipe and generating noise, further improving airflow noise at the air intake 11 and enhancing the performance of the airflow regulating component. It should be noted that the pressure block structure 1 can be as follows: Figure 2 The split structure shown includes a support frame and a sealing cover disposed on the support frame.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the air regulating component 2 includes a knob cover 23 and a connecting shaft 24 connected to the knob cover 23. The knob cover 23 is provided with an oblong hole that overlaps at least part of the air inlet 11. The free end of the connecting shaft 24 passes through the pressure block structure 1 and is connected to the flow equalization structure 4.

[0050] Specifically, the knob cover 23 is connected to the flow equalization structure 4 via the connecting shaft 24, so that when the knob cover 23 rotates to adjust the air intake, it can simultaneously drive the flow equalization structure 4 to rotate, causing the flow equalization structure 4 to collide with the fixed spring 3 on the pressure block structure 1 to produce a mechanical sound, so that the user has a damping feel for gear adjustment, thereby facilitating the user to control the adjustment amount. More specifically, if the collision sound emitted during rotation lasts for a long time within a certain period of time, it indicates a larger adjustment amount, and if the collision sound emitted during rotation lasts for a short time within a certain period of time, it indicates a smaller adjustment amount.

[0051] The oblong hole on the knob cover 21 can gradually overlap with multiple air inlets 11 during rotation to adjust the air intake. The oblong hole facilitates measurement of its length during manufacturing. In addition, the knob cover 21 has graduations along the length of the oblong hole to allow users to adjust the air intake more accurately.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a baffle 22 is provided at the air outlet 12, which is used to equalize the air flow at the air outlet.

[0053] Specifically, the baffle 22 is disposed at the air outlet 12 to disperse the airflow at the air outlet 12. The baffle 22 divides the air outlet 12 into two axially stacked or centrally symmetrical structures to disperse the airflow at the air outlet 12 relatively evenly. In addition, multiple air outlets 12 can be provided to achieve the effect of uniform flow.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, a filter screen is provided at the air outlet 12.

[0055] Specifically, at least a portion of the air outlet 12 is provided with a filter screen. The filter screen filters the airflow on the one hand, and further equalizes the airflow at the air outlet 12 to achieve noise reduction and improve the performance of the airflow regulating component.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spring 3 includes a fixing part 31 and an elastic part 32 disposed on the fixing part 31. The fixing part 31 is connected to the pressure block structure 1. The fixing part 31 is provided with a through hole 311 corresponding to the air inlet 11. The elastic part 32 extends from the pressure block structure 1 toward the flow equalization structure 4.

[0057] Specifically, the fixing part 31 is used to fix the elastic part 32 to the pressure block structure 1, so that the flow equalization structure 4 rotates relative to the pressure block structure 1 while simultaneously rotating relative to the spring piece 3, thereby generating a continuous and stable mechanical rope to facilitate user adjustment of the air intake. Correspondingly, the fixing part 31 is provided with a through hole 311 corresponding to the air inlet 11 to ensure airflow.

[0058] Furthermore, the free end of the elastic part 32 has a V-shaped structure.

[0059] Specifically, the elastic part 32 has a V-shaped structure so that it is easier for the elastic part 32 to fit into the groove of the flow equalization structure 4. In addition, the V-shaped structure is more stable to ensure that the elastic part 32 can generate a collision sound during the rotation of the flow equalization structure 4, thereby improving the performance of the airflow regulating component.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the airflow regulation assembly further includes a power regulator located in the chamber 13 and connected to the flow equalization structure 4.

[0061] Specifically, the power regulator has multiple terminals, each corresponding to a different output power. The current sharing structure 4 rotates, causing the power regulator to rotate and connect the circuits of the different terminals, thereby regulating the power. The power regulator and airflow are regulated simultaneously to make the airflow regulation effect more pronounced, thus improving the performance of the airflow regulation component.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] This utility model provides an atomizer, which includes the airflow regulating component of Embodiment 1.

[0064] Specifically, the atomizer includes a housing 6, an atomizing core 7, an airflow regulating component, and a power supply unit. The atomizing core 7 is disposed inside the housing 6, the airflow regulating component is disposed at the air inlet end of the housing 6, and the power supply unit is connected to the atomizing core 7 to supply power to the atomizing core. The power supply unit is a battery 8. The atomizer provided in this embodiment is designed based on the airflow regulating component of Embodiment 1. Therefore, the beneficial effects of the atomizer are all described in the beneficial effects of the airflow regulating component in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0065] In summary, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the aforementioned advantageous technical features can be freely combined and superimposed.
