Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer and atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] The atomizer is equipped with a heating element, which is used to heat the atomization matrix to generate an aerosol. In related technologies, the heating element has a planar structure, and the size of the heating element in the plane is much larger than its size outside the plane. This results in low rigidity of the heating element outside the plane, making it prone to deformation during assembly. This leads to poor assembly consistency of the heating element, which in turn affects the consistency of the taste of the aerosol generated by the heating element. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an atomizer and atomizing device that can solve the technical problem of poor assembly consistency of heating elements.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an atomizer, which includes a heating element for heating an atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The heating element includes: an electrode portion for electrical connection to an external power source, the electrode portion being disposed on a first plane and enclosing an installation space; a heating portion for heating when energized, the heating portion being housed within the installation space; and a connecting portion connecting the electrode portion and the heating portion, the connecting portion connecting the electrode portion and the heating portion into a single structure on the first plane.

[0005] In one embodiment, the electrode portion includes a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion, which are elongated and form an installation space. There is a gap between the end of the first electrode portion and the corresponding end of the second electrode portion.

[0006] In one embodiment, the first electrode portion includes a first segment and a second segment connected together. The first segment extends along a first direction and is connected to one end of the heating portion in a second direction via a connecting portion. The second segment extends along the second direction. The second electrode portion includes a third segment and a fourth segment connected together. The third segment extends along the first direction and is connected to one end of the heating portion in the second direction opposite to the first segment via a connecting portion. The fourth segment extends along the second direction. The first segment, the second segment, the third segment, and the fourth segment enclose an installation space. There is a gap between the end of the first segment and the end of the fourth segment, and there is a gap between the end of the second segment and the end of the third segment.

[0007] In one embodiment, the heating element includes two pins connected to a second segment and a fourth segment, respectively. The orthographic projection of one of the pins onto the first plane at least partially falls on the second segment, and the orthographic projection of the other pin onto the first plane at least partially falls on the fourth segment.

[0008] In one embodiment, the pin includes an enhancement segment extending along a second direction, the enhancement segment being connected to a second segment and a fourth segment respectively, and the length of the enhancement segment being greater than or equal to the length of the second segment and the fourth segment respectively.

[0009] In one embodiment, the pin includes a first end portion connected to one end of the reinforcement section, the first end portion extending perpendicular to the first plane.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pin further includes a second end connected to the other end of the reinforcement segment, the second end extending perpendicular to the reinforcement segment.

[0011] In one embodiment, the heating element includes a plurality of heating units arranged and connected in sequence along a second direction. Each heating unit has a through hole and a symmetry axis along the second direction. A connecting part is disposed on the symmetry axis.

[0012] In one embodiment, the atomizer further includes a liquid guide attached to one side of the heating element, the liquid guide being used to transfer the atomizing matrix to the heating element.

[0013] Another aspect of this application provides an atomizing device, which includes an atomizer as described above and an atomizing host, the atomizing host being used to control the working state of the atomizer.

[0014] The atomizer provided in this application has an electrode portion of the heating element enclosing an installation space, and a heating element housed within the installation space. A connecting portion connects the electrode portion and the heating element into an integral structure on a first plane. Since the heating element is housed within the installation space enclosed by the electrode portion, the electrode portion is protected on the outer periphery of the heating element. During the assembly process of the heating element, the heating element is less likely to be touched, thereby reducing the deformation of the heating element during the assembly process and improving the assembly consistency of the heating element.

[0040] This application provides an atomizing device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4The atomizing device 100 may include an atomizer 10 and an atomizing host 20. The atomizer 10 has a liquid storage chamber 1112, which stores the atomizing matrix. The atomizer 10 is used to atomize the atomizing matrix into an aerosol. The atomizing host 20 is used to control the working state of the atomizer 10. For example, the atomizing host 20 can control the atomizer 10 to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol or stop heating according to the user's inhalation action. The atomizer 10 and the atomizing host 20 may be fixedly connected or detachably connected. When the atomizer 10 and the atomizing host 20 are detachably connected, if the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage chamber 1112 is consumed to a value less than a preset value, the user can easily separate the atomizer 10 from the atomizing host 20. The atomizing device 100 can continue to be used after replacing the atomizer 10, allowing the atomizing host 20 to be used multiple times, thereby reducing the user's operating costs.

[0041] Please see Figures 2-6The atomizer 10 may include an oil cup 11, a support assembly 12, a heating element 13, a liquid guide 14, and an electrode 15. The oil cup 11 has a liquid storage chamber 1112 for storing the atomizing matrix. Optionally, the oil cup 11 includes an oil cup housing 111, an oil cup base 112, an airway tube 113, and a mouthpiece plug 114. The oil cup housing 111 is provided with a mouthpiece 1111, which can be used by a user to perform a suction action. The airway tube 113 is housed within the oil cup housing 111, and one end of the airway tube 113 is connected to the mouthpiece 1111 so that aerosol can be transferred to the mouthpiece 1111 via the airway tube 113. The oil cup base 112 is connected to the oil cup housing 111 and the end of the airway tube 113 away from the mouthpiece 1111, and the oil cup base 112, together with the oil cup housing 111 and the airway tube 113, forms the liquid storage chamber 1112. When the atomizer 10 is not in operation, the mouthpiece plug 114 can be inserted into the mouthpiece 1111 to seal the airway tube 113, preventing external dust from entering the airway tube 113 and thus maintaining the cleanliness of the airway tube 113. The support assembly 12 is installed at the end of the oil cup housing 111 away from the mouthpiece 1111. The heating element 13 and the liquid guide 14 are installed inside the support assembly 12. The oil cup base 112 has an oil supply port 1121, and the support assembly 12 has an oil supply channel 1211 communicating with the oil supply port 1121 and an oil supply hole 1212, with the oil supply hole 1212 located on one side of the oil supply channel 1211. The liquid guide 14 is installed inside the support assembly 12 at the opening of the oil supply hole 1212, and the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 1112 can be transferred to the liquid guide 14 through the oil supply port 1121, the oil supply channel 1211, and the oil supply hole 1212. A liquid guide 14 is attached to one side of the heating element 13. The liquid guide 14 is used to transfer the atomizing matrix to the heating element 13, which can heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The heating element 13 can be planar, and a planar heating element 13 has a relatively large heating area, which can improve atomization efficiency. The liquid guide 14 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton, which can adsorb the atomizing matrix and thus transfer it to the heating element 13. An electrode 15 is inserted into the support assembly 12 and is electrically connected to the heating element 13, so that the heating element 13 can establish an electrical connection with the battery in the atomizing host 20 through the electrode 15, thereby providing power for the heating element 13 to operate.

[0042] The support assembly 12 can be a one-piece structure. For example, the support assembly 12 is integrally injection molded, and the support assembly 12 has an internal space for mounting the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14. Or, as... Figures 2-6As shown, the support assembly 12 has a split structure, including a first support 121, a second support 122, a third support 123, and an atomizing support 124. An oil supply channel 1211 and an oil supply port 1212 are disposed on the first support 121. One end of the first support 121 is inserted into the oil cup base 112, so that the oil supply channel 1211 and the oil supply port 1212 communicate with the oil supply outlet 1121. The second support 122 is connected to one side of the first support 121, and the atomizing support 124 is installed on the second support 122. The atomizing support 124 is located within the space formed by the second support 122 and the first support 121. The third support 123 is connected to the first support 121 and the end of the second support 122 away from the mouthpiece 1111. A heating element 13 is mounted on an atomizing bracket 124. A liquid guide 14 is embedded in the oil supply hole 1212 on the first bracket 121, and the liquid guide 14 abuts against the heating element 13 to transfer the atomized matrix to the heating element 13. The atomizing bracket 124 is provided with an atomizing chamber 1241, and the first bracket 121 is provided with an air passage hole 1213 connecting the atomizing chamber 1241 and the air passage tube 113. The cavity wall of the atomizing chamber 1241 near the heating element 13 is provided with an atomizing opening 1242, and the heating element 13 is installed at the atomizing opening 1242 so that the aerosol generated by the heating element 13 can be transferred to the mouthpiece 1111 through the atomizing chamber 1241, the air passage hole 1213, and the air passage tube 113. The support assembly 12 includes a first support 121, a second support 122, a third support 123, and an atomizing support 124. The heating element 13 is installed on the atomizing support 124, and the liquid guiding element 14 is embedded in the first support 121. Since the support assembly 12 has a split structure, the heating element 13 can be assembled onto the atomizing support 124 first, and the liquid guiding element 14 can be assembled onto the first support 121. Then, the first support 121, the second support 122, the third support 123, and the atomizing support 124 can be assembled and connected. On the one hand, the assembly operation space for the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14 is an open space, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14. On the other hand, by assembling the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14 into the support assembly 12, the support assembly 12 and the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14 form a relatively independent module, which can realize modular assembly, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0043] Please see Figures 2-6 In one embodiment, the atomizer 10 further includes a first liquid-absorbing element 16 and a second liquid-absorbing element 17. The first liquid-absorbing element 16 is installed between the airway tube 113 and the first support 121. The first liquid-absorbing element 16 can absorb condensate in the aerosol or un-atomized atomized matrix mixed in the aerosol, which can improve the taste of the aerosol. The second liquid-absorbing element 17 is disposed between the atomizing support 124 and the third support 123 and is installed on the third support 123. The second liquid-absorbing element 17 can absorb the atomized matrix that seeps out of the atomizing chamber 1241 to prevent leakage of the atomized matrix.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the atomizer 10 also includes an activator 18. The activator 18 seals the oil supply port 1212. Before the atomizer 10 is activated, the activator 18 seals the atomizing matrix in the reservoir chamber 1112, preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix during transportation or long-term storage of the atomizer 10. The activator 18 can move under external force and open the oil supply port 1212, allowing the atomizing matrix in the reservoir chamber 1112 to be transferred to the heating element 13. By setting the activator 10 to be activated by moving the activator 18 under external force and opening the oil supply port 1212, the activation operation of the atomizer 10 is simple and quick, improving the ease of use of the atomizer 10.

[0045] The activator 18 can be a one-piece structure. For example, one end of the activator 18 is housed in the oil supply channel 1211 to seal the oil supply port 1212 located on one side of the oil supply channel 1211; the other end of the activator 18 is at least partially exposed outside the bracket assembly 12, and the user can apply force to the activator 18 through the exposed portion to move the activator 18 under external action and open the oil supply port 1212. Alternatively, as... Figures 3-5 As shown, the activator 18 has a split structure, including a sealing part 181 and an operating part 182. The sealing part 181 is housed in the oil supply channel 1211 and seals the oil supply hole 1212 located on one side of the oil supply channel 1211. The operating part 182 is connected to the sealing part 181 and is at least partially exposed in the bracket assembly 12. The user can apply force to the sealing part 181 through the operating part 182 to drive the sealing part 181 to move and open the oil supply hole 1212. The activation component 18 includes a sealing part 181 and an operating part 182. The activation component 18 has a split structure, which allows the sealing part 181 and the operating part 182 to be made of different materials. For example, the sealing part 181 can be made of a material with good compressibility, such as silicone or rubber, to facilitate sealing the oil supply hole 1212; while the operating part 182 can be made of a material with relatively high hardness to reduce the deformation of the operating part 182 when a force is applied to the sealing part 181 through the operating part 182, thereby facilitating the activation operation.

[0046] The atomizer 20 may include a battery (not shown), a circuit board (not shown), and an airflow sensor (not shown). The battery provides power for the atomizer 100 during operation. The airflow sensor can be mounted on the circuit board, facilitating modular assembly of components and improving production efficiency. The airflow sensor is configured to control the electrical connection between the atomizer 10 and the battery based on the user's inhalation action. Specifically, when the user inhales through the mouthpiece 1111, the airflow sensor senses a change in airflow and controls the atomizer 10 to connect to the battery, allowing the atomizer 10 to heat the atomization matrix and generate an aerosol. When the user stops inhaling, if the airflow sensor does not sense a change in airflow within a preset time, it controls the atomizer 10 to disconnect from the battery, and the atomizer 10 stops heating. The specific internal structure of the atomizer 20 will not be described in detail.

[0047] For planar heating elements, the dimensions of the heating element within the plane are much larger than its dimensions outside the plane, resulting in lower rigidity outside the plane. This makes the heating element prone to deformation during assembly, leading to poor assembly consistency and consequently affecting the consistency of the taste of the aerosol generated by the heating element. To address this problem, this application provides a novel heating element 13.

[0048] Please see Figures 6-8 In one embodiment, the heating element 13 includes a heating portion 131, a connecting portion 132, and an electrode portion 133. The electrode portion 133 is used for electrical connection to an external power source. The external power source refers to a power source located outside the heating element 13, such as a battery in the atomizing host 20. The electrode portion 133 is disposed on a first plane to facilitate the formation of a planar heating element 13. Exemplarily, the first plane can be... Figure 8 The XOZ plane is shown. An electrode portion 133 encloses and forms a mounting space 1333. A heating element 131 is used for heating when energized; when energized, the heating element 131 heats the atomized matrix to generate an aerosol. The heating element 131 is housed within the mounting space 1333. A connecting portion 132 connects the electrode portion 133 and the heating element 131, and the connecting portion 132 connects the electrode portion 133 and the heating element 131 into a single structure on a first plane, such that the heating element 131, the connecting portion 132, and the electrode portion 133 are all located on the first plane, thereby forming a planar heating element 13.

[0049] The atomizer 10 provided in this application has an electrode portion 133 of the heating element 13 enclosing an installation space 1333. The heating element 131 is housed within the installation space 1333. The connecting portion 132 connects the electrode portion 133 and the heating element 131 into an integral structure on a first plane. Since the heating element 131 is housed within the installation space 1333 enclosed by the electrode portion 133, the electrode portion 133 is protected on the outer periphery of the heating element 131. During the assembly process of the heating element 13, the heating element 131 is less likely to be touched, thereby reducing the deformation of the heating element 131 during the assembly process and improving the assembly consistency of the heating element 13.

[0050] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the electrode section 133 includes a first electrode section 1331 and a second electrode section 1332. One of the first electrode section 1331 and the second electrode section 1332 can be electrically connected to the positive terminal of an external power source, and the other can be electrically connected to the negative terminal of an external power source, so that an electrical connection is established between the heating section 131 and the external power source.

[0051] Optionally, the electrode portion 133 is sheet-like, that is, the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 are sheet-like. The sheet-like shape of the electrode portion 133 means that, within the first plane, the difference between the dimension of the electrode portion 133 along the extending direction and the dimension perpendicular to the extending direction is not significant. For example, the ratio of the dimension of the electrode portion 133 along the extending direction to the dimension perpendicular to the extending direction is less than 3, resulting in greater rigidity of the electrode portion 133, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the heating element 13 and reducing deformation of the heating element 13 during assembly. Or, as... Figure 8As shown, the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 are elongated. The elongated shape of the electrode portion 133 means that, within the first plane, the dimension of the electrode portion 133 along the extending direction is significantly larger than the dimension perpendicular to the extending direction. For example, the ratio of the dimension of the electrode portion 133 along the extending direction to the dimension perpendicular to the extending direction is greater than or equal to 3, making the electrode portion 133 relatively slender. This reduces the size of the heating element 13 within the first plane, which is beneficial for product miniaturization. The first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 enclose a mounting space 1333, and there is a gap between the end of the first electrode portion 1331 and the corresponding end of the second electrode portion 1332. The distance between the end of the first electrode portion 1331 and the corresponding end of the second electrode portion 1332 is less than a preset value, for example, 1 mm. Optionally, the distance between the end of the first electrode portion 1331 and the corresponding end of the second electrode portion 1332 can be 0.5 mm, 0.4 mm, or 0.3 mm, etc., and is not specifically limited here. A gap exists between the end of the first electrode portion 1331 and the corresponding end of the second electrode portion 1332. Under the condition that a short circuit does not occur between the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332, the connection between the mounting space 1333 in the first plane and the external space can be minimized, further reducing the possibility that the heating element 131 housed in the mounting space 1333 will be touched during the assembly of the heating element 13.

[0052] The outer contour of the heating element 13 can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal. For example, the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 are arc-shaped, thereby forming a heating element 13 with a circular outer contour. As another example... Figure 9 As shown, the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 each include three straight sections, which are connected in a "C" shape to form a heating element 13 with a rectangular outer contour. Alternatively, as... Figure 8 As shown, the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 each include two straight segments. The first electrode portion 1331 includes a first segment 1331A and a second segment 1331B connected together. The first segment 1331A extends along a first direction and is connected to one end of the heating portion 131 in a second direction via a connecting portion 132. The second segment 1331B extends along the second direction. For example, the first direction may be... Figure 8 The X-axis direction, the second direction can be Figure 8The Z-axis direction. That is, the first segment 1331A and the second segment 1331B can be connected in the first plane to form an "L" shape. The second electrode part 1332 includes a third segment 1332A and a fourth segment 1332B connected to each other. The third segment 1332A extends along the first direction and is connected to the end of the heating part 131 opposite to the first segment 1331A in the second direction through the connecting part 132. The fourth segment 1332B extends along the second direction. The first segment 1331A, the second segment 1331B, the third segment 1332A, and the fourth segment 1332B enclose an installation space 1333. There is a gap between the end of the first segment 1331A and the end of the fourth segment 1332B, and there is a gap between the end of the second segment 1331B and the end of the third segment 1332A. The first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332 are each composed of two straight sections, which can form a heating element 13 with a rectangular outer contour. This makes the outer contour of the heating element 13 more regular, and the electrode portion 133 has fewer segments, which facilitates the processing and shaping of the heating element 13.

[0053] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 The heating element 13 includes two pins 134, which are respectively connected to the first electrode portion 1331 and the second electrode portion 1332. The pins 134 can be used to establish an electrical connection between the heating element 131 and an external power source. Optionally, the two pins 134 are respectively connected to the first segment 1331A and the third segment 1332A. Or, as... Figure 8 As shown, two pins 134 are respectively connected to the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B. The orthographic projection of one of the two pins 134 in the first plane at least partially falls on the second segment 1331B, and the orthographic projection of the other pin in the first plane at least partially falls on the fourth segment 1332B. Since the first segment 1331A and the third segment 1332A are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the heating element 131 in the second direction through the connecting part 132, the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B form free ends away from the connecting part 132, which makes the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B prone to deformation during assembly. The two pins 134 are configured such that their orthogonal projections in the first plane at least partially fall on the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B, respectively, so that the two pins 134 at least partially coincide with the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B, respectively. The pins 134 can reinforce at least part of the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B, thereby reducing the deformation of the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B during assembly.

[0054] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8In one embodiment, pin 134 includes a reinforcement segment 1341 extending along a second direction. The reinforcement segment 1341 is connected to the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B respectively, and the length of the reinforcement segment 1341 is greater than or equal to the length of the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B respectively, so that pin 134 can reinforce the entire length of the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B, thereby further reducing the deformation of the second segment 1331B and the fourth segment 1332B during assembly.

[0055] Optionally, the heating element 13 is adhesively mounted to the atomizing bracket 124. Alternatively, the heating element 13 is snap-fitted onto the atomizing bracket 124. Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, pin 134 includes a first end portion 1342 connected to one end of the reinforcing section 1341, and the extension direction of the first end portion 1342 is perpendicular to the first plane. By setting the first end portion 1342 with its extension direction perpendicular to the first plane, the first end portion 1342 can be easily inserted into the atomizing bracket 124, thereby snapping the heating element 13 onto the atomizing bracket 124, making the installation of the heating element 13 simple and quick, and facilitating the assembly of the heating element 13.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, pin 134 also includes a second end 1343 connected to the other end of the reinforcing section 1341, the extension direction of the second end 1343 being perpendicular to the reinforcing section 1341. The second end 1343, with its extension direction perpendicular to the reinforcing section 1341, allows it to be bent toward the side where the atomizing bracket 124 is located. On one hand, the second end 1343 can be inserted into the atomizing bracket 124, thereby further enhancing the reliability of the connection between the heating element 13 and the atomizing bracket 124; on the other hand, the second end 1343 can be used for electrical connection with the electrode 15. For example, the second end 1343 can be electrically connected to the electrode 15 at the end of the atomizing bracket 124 via a plug-in method, which is convenient and quick.

[0057] Please see Figure 8In one embodiment, the heating element 131 includes a plurality of heating units 1311 arranged and connected sequentially along a second direction, and each heating unit 1311 has a through hole 1312. The resistance value of the heating element 131 can be adjusted by the size of the through hole 1312 so that the heating element 13 has a preset heating power. The shape of the through hole 1312 can be circular, elliptical, rhomboid, or other shapes. The number of through holes 1312 on each heating unit 1311 can be one or more. The heating unit 1311 has a symmetry axis l along the second direction. Setting the heating unit 1311 symmetrical along the second direction can make the heating unit 1311 more regular, thereby facilitating the processing and shaping of the heating element 13. Optionally, the heating unit 1311 is symmetrically arranged along both the second and first directions, so that the heating unit 1311 has two symmetry axes in the first plane, making the heating unit 1311 more regular. Optionally, each heating unit 1311 has the same shape and equal area, making the heating element 13 more regular in shape.

[0058] After the through hole 1312 is formed in the heating unit 1311, the overall rigidity of the heating part 131 is relatively small. If the heating part 131 undergoes torsional deformation under external forces, it is easily damaged. Please refer to Figure 8 The connecting part 132 is disposed on the axis of symmetry l. With the connecting part 132 disposed on the axis of symmetry, when the heating element 13 is subjected to tension or pressure in the second direction during assembly, the forces exerted on the heating element 131 by the two connecting parts 132 are both on the axis of symmetry. The heating element 131 is subjected to axial tension or pressure, and the connecting part 132 will not generate an eccentric force on the heating element 131, nor will it generate torque on the heating element 131, which can reduce the torsional deformation of the heating element 131.
