[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides an aerosol generating device 100, which includes an atomizer 1, a power supply mechanism 2, and an adsorption element 3. Specifically, the atomizer 1 includes a liquid replenishment mechanism 11 and an atomizing mechanism 12, with the atomizing mechanism 12 connected to the liquid replenishment mechanism 11. The power supply mechanism 2 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 12 and is provided with an air inlet channel 211 and an air inlet 251. The air inlet channel 211 connects the atomizing mechanism 12 and the air inlet 251. The adsorption element 3 is disposed in the air inlet channel 211 and is used to adsorb the condensate in the air inlet channel 211. By adsorbing the condensate in the air inlet channel 211 by the adsorption element 3, the condensate is prevented from flowing along the side wall of the air inlet channel 211 and flowing out of the aerosol generating device 100 through the air inlet 251, thereby reducing the negative user experience.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The power supply mechanism 2 includes a power supply bracket 21, which has a receiving groove 212. An adsorption member 3 is disposed in the receiving groove 212, and the surface of the adsorption member 3 partially forms the surface of the air intake channel 211, allowing the adsorption member 3 to adsorb condensate in the air intake channel 211. Furthermore, the adsorption member 3 also reduces the flow noise of airflow in the air intake channel 211, thereby achieving noise reduction.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The power supply bracket 21 is equipped with fixing strips 213. Two fixing strips 213 are fixed to the first and second side walls of the receiving groove 212. The first and second side walls are opposite each other. There is an opening 2131 between the two fixing strips 213. The adsorption element 3 is disposed between the two solid strips 213 and the third side wall of the receiving groove 212. The third side wall is perpendicular to the second and first side walls. The opening 2131 allows the adsorption element 3 to adsorb condensate in the air intake channel 211.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 There are two adsorption elements 3 and four fixing strips 213. The two adsorption elements 3 are set on two opposite surfaces in the air intake channel 211, and the airflow in the air intake channel 211 can flow through the surfaces of the two adsorption elements 3.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The power supply mechanism 2 includes an airflow sensor 22, and the power supply bracket 21 is provided with a detection air passage 214, which is connected to the air intake passage 211. The airflow sensor 22 is used to sense the airflow changes in the air intake passage 211 and determine the user's suction action.

[0034] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The power supply mechanism 2 includes a control board 23 and a first seal 24, both of which are mounted on the power supply bracket 21. The control board 23 is electrically connected to the airflow sensor 22. The first seal 24 seals the space between the control board 23 and the power supply bracket 21 to seal the detection air passage 214, reducing airflow leakage between the control board 23 and the power supply bracket 21. An adsorption component 3 adsorbs condensate from the air intake passage 211, reducing the likelihood of condensate entering the control board 23 through the detection air passage 214 and coming into contact with it, thus minimizing the possibility of damage to the control board 23.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The power supply bracket 21 is provided with a first vent 215 and a first receiving groove 216. The first vent 215 is located at the bottom of the first receiving groove 216 and connects with the first receiving groove 216 to form a detection air passage 214. The first vent 215 penetrates the first sidewall of the receiving groove 212 so that the first vent 215 connects with the receiving groove 212, thereby connecting the detection air passage 214 with the air inlet passage 211. The first receiving groove 216 receives the first sealing element 24. In other words, the first sealing element... A first sealing member 24 is disposed in the detection air passage 214, and the first sealing member 24 abuts against the control plate 23 to seal the side wall of the first receiving groove 216 and the control plate 23. The first sealing member 24 is provided with a second receiving groove 241, which is connected to the first air passage 215, so that the second receiving groove 241, the first air passage 215 and the air intake passage 211 are sequentially connected. The airflow sensor 22 is received in the second receiving groove 241, which facilitates the airflow sensor 22 in sensing the airflow changes in the air intake passage 211. In order to fix the airflow sensor 22, as an example, the airflow sensor 22 is fixed to the control plate 23.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The power supply mechanism 2 includes a first housing 25, a power supply bracket 21 disposed within the first housing 25, and a second air vent 217 connected to the atomizing mechanism 12 and the receiving groove 212. The first housing 25 has an air inlet 251 connected to the air intake channel 211. Enclosing the power supply bracket 21, control board 23, and airflow sensor 22 within the first housing 25 improves the aesthetic appearance of the power supply mechanism 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The power supply mechanism 2 includes a second seal 26, which is disposed between the first housing 25 and the power supply bracket 21 to provide a seal between them. The second seal 26 has a first airflow channel 261, which connects the air inlet 251 and the air intake channel 211, so that the first airflow channel 261, the air intake channel 211, and the second vent 217 are sequentially connected. The second seal 26 seals and separates the air intake channel 211 from the control board 23, which helps to reduce the damage caused by contact between the control board 23 and condensate.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The power supply mechanism 2 includes a power supply 27, which is mounted on a power supply bracket 21. A second seal 26 seals and separates the power supply 27 from the air intake channel 211. The power supply 27 is electrically connected to the control board 23. The sealing effect of the second seal 26 helps to reduce the possibility of moisture and condensate entering and causing damage to the power supply 27.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The power supply bracket 21 is provided with a third receiving slot 218, which receives the power supply. The second seal 26 seals and separates the air intake channel 211 from the third receiving slot 218.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The atomizing mechanism 12 includes a second housing 121 and an atomizing component 122. The atomizing component 122 is disposed within the second housing 121. The atomizing mechanism 12 is provided with a second airflow channel 123, which connects to the air intake channel 211. The atomizing component 122 is disposed within the second housing 121 and connected to the second airflow channel 123, allowing external airflow to pass through the air inlet 251, the air intake channel 211, the second airflow channel 123, and the atomizing component 122 to carry away the aerosol formed by the atomizing component 122 heating the liquid matrix. The atomizing component 122 is electrically connected to a control board 23 and a power supply 27. The power supply 27 provides electrical energy to the atomizing component 122, and the control board 23 controls the heating power of the atomizing component 122 according to the airflow sensor 22.

[0041] In some embodiments, the end of the second housing 121 away from the liquid replenishment mechanism 11 is connected to the power bracket 21 via a magnetic structure, or the second housing 121 is connected to the first housing 25 via a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second outer shell 121 is disposed inside the first outer shell 25. The second outer shell 121 is provided with a first liquid storage chamber 1212. The atomizing mechanism 12 includes a liquid storage component 124, which is disposed in the first liquid storage chamber 1212 and is in circulation with the atomizing component 122.

[0043] In some embodiments, the liquid reservoir 124 can be made of an elastic organic porous material. The liquid reservoir 124 can have a hardness or flexibility between that of typically flexible plant cotton / nonwoven fabric (Shore hardness less than 20A) and rigid porous ceramic / microporous metal (Shore hardness greater than 80A), thus providing structural stability with extremely low expansion after absorbing and wetting the liquid matrix, while also possessing a certain degree of hardness for easy fixation and retention. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the liquid reservoir 124 can be made of rigid synthetic cotton.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The liquid replenishment mechanism 11 includes a third housing 111, which is connected to the second housing 121. The third housing 111 is provided with an airflow pipe 1111 and a suction nozzle 1112. The airflow pipe 1111 is connected to the suction nozzle 1112 and is connected to the atomizing component 122 so that the user can suck up the aerosol by holding the suction nozzle 1112 in their mouth.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The liquid replenishment mechanism 11 includes a liquid output component 112, which is disposed inside the third housing 111. The liquid output component 112 and the third housing 111 define a second liquid storage chamber 113. The liquid output component 112 is provided with a liquid guiding channel 1121, which connects the second liquid storage chamber 113 and the first liquid storage chamber 1212 to guide the liquid matrix from the second liquid storage chamber 113 to the first liquid storage chamber 1212.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second outer shell 121 is provided with a liquid guiding hole 1213, which connects the liquid guiding channel 1121 and the first liquid storage chamber 1212. The liquid storage component 124 abuts against the liquid guiding hole 1213. By having the liquid storage component 124 abut against the liquid guiding hole 1213, the liquid storage component 124 receives and retains the liquid matrix from the second liquid storage chamber 113, making it less prone to leakage when the aerosol generating device 100 is stationary or during transportation. Furthermore, during aspiration, the liquid matrix in the liquid storage component 124 promptly enters the atomizing component 122, preventing dry burning and maintaining a good aspiration experience. Additionally, by having the liquid storage component 124 abut against the liquid guiding hole 1213, a gap is prevented between the liquid guiding hole 1213 and the liquid storage component 124. This ensures that the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 113 reaches a preset negative pressure value before flowing through the liquid guiding hole 1213 to the liquid storage component 124, further reducing the likelihood of leakage when the aerosol generating device 100 is stationary.
