[0034] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement of components in a specific posture (as shown in the figures). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or components inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0036] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the atomizing device in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An explosion diagram of the atomizing device in the embodiment.

[0038] This application provides an electronic atomizing device, including a power supply component and an atomizing device. The power supply component is connected to the atomizing device and supplies power to the atomizing device. The atomizing device heats and atomizes the atomizing matrix to form a mist. The atomizing matrix can be a pharmaceutical solution dispersed in a liquid solvent, an e-liquid with added flavoring ingredients, or any other liquid suitable for atomization.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the atomizing component in this embodiment. The atomizing component includes a support member 12, a heating element 14, a liquid guiding element 25, a conductive element 15, and a first sealing element 19 disposed within the support member 12. The heating element 14 has a planar sheet structure. One side of the heating element 14 is attached to the liquid guiding element 25, and the other side is fixedly connected to the first sealing element 19 via the conductive element 15. The first sealing element 19 has an atomizing groove 196, the opening of which faces the liquid guiding element 25. The first sealing element 19 and the support member 12 enclose an atomizing cavity 20. The contact surface between the liquid guiding element 25 and the heating element 14 is the atomizing surface. The atomizing surface is a flat surface, which allows for better fixed connection with the heating element 14 and improves the atomization effect.

[0040] The heating element 14 has a planar sheet structure. Based on its conductive heating requirements, it is made of an electrothermal material, such as pure nickel alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, nickel-iron alloy, iron-chromium alloy, iron-chromium-aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, or stainless steel, etc. Specifically, the heating element 14 can be made of the same material (such as stainless steel). Of course, the heating element 14 can also be made of different materials to adapt to different usage requirements. For example, the heating element 14 includes a heating part 141 and a connecting part 142 connected to each other. The heating part 141 and the connecting part 142 are made of materials with different resistivities. Specifically, the resistivity of the heating part 141 is greater than that of the connecting part 142, so that the heating part 141 can generate more heat to heat the atomizing matrix to form mist. The connecting part 142 is welded and fixed to the conductive element 15. The heat generated by the connecting part 142 is smaller, avoiding energy waste and reducing the heat resistance requirements of the components that are in contact with or close to the connecting part 142.

[0041] In related technologies, the planar sheet-like heating element 14 is usually fixed to the liquid guide 25 with screws or by pressing with a pressure plate, which is costly and complex. In this embodiment, the heating element 14 is clamped between the liquid guide 25 and the first sealing element 19. The first sealing element 19 not only fixes the liquid guide 25, but also cooperates with the support 12 to form the atomizing chamber 20. At the same time, the conductive element 15 further fixes the heating element 14 and the first sealing element 19. The conductive element 15 can not only connect to an external power source to supply power to the heating element 14 to make it heat up, but also fix the heating element 14. This means that the heating element 14 does not need to be fixed by other parts during the assembly of the atomizing component, thereby saving costs and simplifying the process.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure when the first sealing element and the heating element are assembled in the embodiment. In some embodiments, the conductive element 15 includes a main body 151 and a first bent portion 152. The main body 151 and the first bent portion 152 are not on the same straight line. One end of the first bent portion 152 is fixedly connected to the main body 151, and the other end is inserted into the first sealing element 19 and fixedly connected to the first sealing element 19. An electrode 23 is connected to the end of the main body 151 of the conductive element 15 away from the first bent portion 152. The main body 151 is welded and fixed to the heating element 14.

[0043] Optionally, the main body 151 is directly electrically connected to the electrode 23, specifically by abutment or welding.

[0044] Optionally, the conductive element 15 further includes a second bending portion 153, which is fixedly connected to the end of the main body portion 151 away from the first bending portion 152. The second bending portion 153 is not on the same straight line as the main body portion 151. The second bending portion 153 is disposed in the first sealing element 19 and abuts against the electrode 23.

[0045] Optionally, two conductive elements 15 and two electrodes 23 are provided, with the two conductive elements 15 respectively fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the heating element 14.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first sealing member 19 is made of an insulating material, such as silicone. The first sealing member 19 has a through-hole receiving groove 191 and a mounting cavity 192. The conductive member 15 is housed in the receiving groove 191, and the electrode 23 is inserted into the mounting cavity 192. An angle is formed between the first bent portion 152 and the main body portion 151 in the conductive member 15, and an angle is formed between the second bent portion 153 and the main body portion 151. The receiving groove 191 is configured according to the bending shape of the conductive member 15, so that the first bent portion 152 and the second bent portion 153 in the conductive member 15 can clamp the main body portion 151 within the receiving groove 191, enhancing the stability of the connection between the conductive member 15 and the first sealing member 19. The first sealing member 19 not only forms an atomizing cavity 20 with the liquid guiding member 25, but also protects the conductive member 15 and the electrode 23 from poor contact or short circuits caused by other components.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first sealing member 19 is provided with a mounting portion 193, and the first bent portion 152 inserts into the mounting portion 193 and is fixedly connected to the main body portion 151. It should be noted that the first bent portion 152 has a certain rigidity, while the mounting portion 193 is integrally formed with the first sealing member 19. The mounting portion 193 can be made of an elastic insulating material. After the first bent portion 152 inserts into the mounting portion 193, the elastic recovery property of the mounting portion 193 can make the first bent portion 152 fit tightly with the mounting portion 193, thereby improving the fixing effect of the first sealing member 19 on the conductive member 15.

[0048] Please see Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the support member in the embodiment. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the first support structure of the support member in the embodiment. Figure 7 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the second support structure of the support member in the embodiment.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support member 12 includes a first bracket 121 and a second bracket 122 that are detachably and fixedly connected. The first bracket 121 is provided with an independent air outlet 128, which communicates with the atomizing chamber 20. Exemplarily, the first bracket 121 includes a first top 1211 and a first side portion 1212, and the second bracket 122 includes a second side portion 1221. The air outlet 128 is disposed on the first top 1211, and the first side portion 1212 and the second side portion 1221 are connected around the periphery of the first top 1211 to form a closed loop.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first side portion 1212 and the second side portion 1221 are snapped together. A buckle 26 is provided on the first side portion 1212, and a slot 27 matching the buckle 26 is provided on the second side portion 1221, thus achieving the assembly and fixation of the first side portion 1212 and the second side portion 1221. Of course, in some scenarios, the buckle 26 can also be located on the second side portion 1221, and the slot 27 on the first side portion 1212. Alternatively, the first side portion 1212 and the second side portion 1221 can also be connected by bolts or other detachable fixing methods, as long as it facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first side portion 1212 and the second side portion 1221. It should be noted that the first side portion 1212 and the first top portion 1211 can be integrally formed, or they can be processed separately and then assembled to form the first bracket 121. The first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 can be made of plastic material.

[0051] In some embodiments, a protruding ridge 123 is provided on the first support 121, and the protruding ridge 123 and the periphery of the first support 121 form a mounting groove 129. The liquid guiding component 25 is embedded in the mounting groove 129 and closely attached to the liquid inlet 124. The liquid guiding component 25, the heating component 14, and the first sealing component 19 are arranged sequentially along the liquid inlet direction of the atomizing matrix. A positioning groove 1222 and a positioning block 194 are provided between the second support 122 and the first sealing component 19. The positioning groove 1222 is provided on one of the second support 122 and the first sealing component 19, and the positioning block 194 is provided on the other. In this embodiment, the positioning block 194 is provided on the side of the first sealing component 19 away from the liquid guiding component 25, the positioning groove 1222 is provided on the second support 122, and the periphery of the positioning block 194 matches the periphery of the positioning groove 1222.

[0052] During assembly, the liquid guiding component 25 can be installed on the protrusion 123 first. The heating component 14 and the first sealing component 19 can be fixed by the conductive component 15 first and then connected to the liquid guiding component 25. Then the second bracket 122 and the first bracket 121 can be snapped together and fixed.

[0053] In some embodiments, the support member 12 may also be an integral component, with an opening on the side of the support member 12 away from the second seal member 17, and the heating element 14 and the first seal member 19 may be pre-assembled and then installed in the support member 12 from the opening.

[0054] Please see Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 2A schematic diagram of the base structure in the embodiment. In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly further includes a base 13, which is disposed at the end of the first support 121 and the second support 122 away from the first top 1211. The base 13 is detachably and fixedly connected to the first support 121 and the second support 122. In this embodiment, the base 13 includes a bottom plate 131 and a side plate 132. The side plate 132 is disposed around the periphery of the bottom plate 131 and extends from the bottom plate 131 toward the first support 121 and the second support 122. A slot 27 is provided on the side plate 132 corresponding to the position of the first side portion 1212 of the first support 121, and a corresponding buckle 26 is provided on the first side portion 1212. Similarly, a slot 27 is provided on the side plate 132 corresponding to the position of the second side portion 1221 of the second support 122, and a corresponding buckle 26 is provided on the second side portion 1221. By fixing the base 13 to the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122, the degree of assembly and structural stability of the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 can be improved. At the same time, the base 13 also provides support for the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 This atomizing component, as part of the atomizing device, needs to cooperate with the housing and other components to form the atomizing device. The housing 11 contains a liquid storage chamber 10 for storing the atomizing matrix. The support member 12 has a liquid inlet 124, one end of which communicates with the liquid storage chamber 10, and the other end communicates with the atomizing chamber 20 via a liquid guide member 25. This allows the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 to be immersed in the liquid guide member 25 through the liquid inlet 124. The heating element 14 heats the immersed atomizing matrix to form mist.

[0056] Specifically, the housing 11 includes an inner shell 111 and an outer shell 112. The inner shell 111 encloses and forms an air outlet channel 30. The inner shell 111 includes a first end 1111 and a second end 1112 facing each other. The first end 1111 of the inner shell 111 is connected to the end of the outer shell 112 to form a suction nozzle. The second end 1112 of the inner shell 111 is sealed to the inner wall of the outer shell 112 through a second sealing member 17, so that the inner shell 111, the outer shell 112, and the second sealing member 17 enclose a liquid storage cavity 10. The support member 12 is installed on the side of the second sealing member 17 away from the liquid storage cavity 10. The first top 1211 is connected to the side of the second sealing member 17 away from the liquid storage cavity 10, and a concave-convex structure is provided between the first top 1211 and the second sealing member 17 to facilitate the installation and positioning of the second sealing member 17 and the first support 121. The second sealing member 17 is provided with a through hole, and the support member 12 is provided with a liquid discharge channel 125 corresponding to the position of the through hole. In this embodiment, the liquid discharge channel 125 is located on the first bracket 121. The axial direction of the liquid discharge channel 125 and the through hole are both parallel to the length direction of the housing 11 to ensure smooth liquid discharge. The liquid inlet hole 124 is formed on the side wall of the liquid discharge channel 125. Exemplarily, the liquid guide member 25 is installed inside the support member 12 and fits against the outside of the liquid discharge channel 125. The liquid inlet hole 124 penetrates the hole wall of the liquid discharge channel 125 radially outward, so that the liquid inlet hole 124 communicates with the side of the liquid guide member 25. The liquid guide member 25 can be made of cotton, porous ceramic material, etc., which have liquid absorption capacity.

[0057] In some embodiments, the atomizing device may include a power source, which may be fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the power source. The power source supplies power to the atomizing components described above to atomize the atomizing matrix.

[0058] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of this application.
