Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and more specifically, to a support, an atomizer, and an aerosol generating device. Background Technology
[0002] An aerosol generating device is a device that uses heating technology to act on an aerosol generating matrix and generate aerosols. In related technologies, an aerosol generating device includes an atomizer. The atomizer's support has a heating chamber and an air inlet chamber. The heating chamber contains a heating element, and the air inlet chamber is connected to the outside air through an air inlet hole, allowing outside air to flow into the heating chamber so that the heating element can generate aerosols when heating the aerosol generating matrix. However, during the use of the aerosol generating device, aerosols may condense in the air inlet chamber, causing blockage of the air inlet hole, thus obstructing the flow of outside air and affecting the normal operation of the aerosol generating device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The embodiments of this application provide a support, an atomizer, and an aerosol generating device to solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems.
[0004] The bracket of this application includes a loading member and an air intake member. The loading member is provided with a heating cavity and a connecting hole. The heating cavity is used to accommodate a heating element. The air intake member includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the air intake member is connected to the loading member. The air intake member is provided with an air intake cavity and an air intake hole. The air intake cavity is connected to the heating cavity through the connecting hole. The air intake hole is used to allow outside air to flow into the air intake cavity. In the direction from the first end to the second end of the air intake member, the air intake hole is farther away from the second end of the air intake member than the connecting hole.
[0005] In some embodiments, the air intake chamber includes a first chamber and a second chamber that communicate with each other. The first chamber is closer to the second end of the air intake member than the second chamber. The connecting hole communicates with the first chamber, and the air intake hole communicates with the second chamber and is spaced apart from the first end of the air intake member.
[0006] In some embodiments, the air intake includes a peripheral wall and an air intake portion, the air intake portion including a first side and a second side facing away from each other, the first side being connected to the inner side of the peripheral wall, and the air intake hole penetrating the peripheral wall and the air intake portion; when the direction from the first end to the second end of the air intake is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the second side is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the horizontal plane is perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
[0007] In some embodiments, the air intake further includes a protrusion that extends from the second side toward a direction away from the first side, the free end of the protrusion being spaced apart from the inner side of the peripheral wall.
[0008] In some embodiments, the protrusion further includes a connecting end opposite to the free end, the connecting end being connected to the second side, and the free end being further away from the air inlet than the connecting end.
[0009] In some embodiments, the loading component is further provided with a receiving cavity that is in communication with the heating cavity and is used to receive the aerosol generation matrix.
[0010] The atomizer of this application includes a heating element and a support as described in any of the above embodiments. The heating element is disposed in the heating chamber and is used to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol.
[0011] The aerosol generating device according to the embodiments of this application includes an electronic control component and an atomizer as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the atomizer is electrically connected to the electronic control component.
[0012] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a housing for housing at least a portion of the electronic control components and the atomizer.
[0013] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a suction element connected to the atomizer and used to allow the aerosol in the atomizer to flow out to the outside.
[0014] In the bracket, atomizer, and aerosol generating device of this application, the air inlet chamber is connected to the heating chamber through a connecting hole. The air inlet hole is used to allow outside air to flow into the air inlet chamber. In the direction from the first end to the second end of the air inlet component, the air inlet hole is farther away from the second end of the air inlet component than the connecting hole. As a result, the condensate formed after the aerosol entering the air inlet chamber through the connecting hole is unlikely to come into contact with the air inlet hole, thereby reducing the possibility of air inlet blockage, ensuring normal flow of outside air, and improving the stability and reliability of the atomizer and aerosol generating device.

[0035] An aerosol generating device is a apparatus that uses heating technology to act on an aerosol generating matrix and generate aerosols. In related technologies, an aerosol generating device includes an atomizer. The atomizer's support has a heating chamber and an air inlet chamber. A heating element is located in the heating chamber, and the air inlet chamber is connected to outside air through an air inlet hole, allowing outside air to flow into the heating chamber so that the heating element can generate aerosols when heating the aerosol generating matrix. However, during the use of the aerosol generating device, aerosols easily condense in the air inlet chamber, causing blockage of the air inlet hole, thus obstructing the flow of outside air and affecting the normal operation of the aerosol generating device. To solve this problem, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a support 10, an atomizer 100, and an aerosol generating device 1000.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerosol generating device 1000 provided in this application includes an atomizer 100 and an electronic control component 300, with the atomizer 100 and the electronic control component 300 being electrically connected.
[0037] It is understood that the atomizer 100 is a structure in the aerosol generating apparatus 1000 used to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosols. The aerosol generating matrix is a processed product capable of generating aerosols under heating, ultrasonication, or mechanical vibration. The aerosol generating matrix can be in liquid, fully solid, or semi-solid form; the aerosol generating matrix in this application can be liquid. Aerosols can be visible or invisible and may include vapors (e.g., fine particulate matter in a gaseous state, which is typically liquid or solid at room temperature) as well as liquid droplets of gas and condensed vapor.
[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic control component 300 includes a power supply unit and a control unit. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the atomizer 100. The control unit is electrically connected to the power supply unit and is used to control the power supply unit to supply power to the atomizer 100. Specifically, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is being drawn in, the control unit can control the power supply unit to output electrical energy to the atomizer 100. In this case, the atomizer 100 can heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol. When the aerosol generating device 1000 is not being drawn in, the control unit can control the power supply unit to stop supplying electrical energy to the atomizer 100. In this case, the atomizer 100 will not heat the aerosol generating matrix. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the power supply unit can be a dry cell battery or a rechargeable battery; rechargeable batteries include, but are not limited to, lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries.
[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 1000 further includes a housing 500 for housing at least a portion of the electronic control assembly 300 and the atomizer 100.
[0040] The housing 500 is a structure within the aerosol generating device 1000 that houses and protects the atomizer 100 and the electronic control components 300. The housing 500 is made of materials including, but not limited to, plastic, aluminum alloy, copper, iron, steel, and carbon fiber composites. In some embodiments, the housing 500 may be made of plastic, making it lighter and thus contributing to the portability of the aerosol generating device 1000. In other embodiments, the housing 500 may be made of a high-temperature resistant material, preventing damage (e.g., deformation) caused by heat and ensuring the stability and reliability of the aerosol generating device 1000. High-temperature resistant materials include, but are not limited to, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), high-melting-point metals, and high-temperature ceramics.
[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 1000 further includes a suction member 700, which is connected to the atomizer 100 and used to allow the aerosol in the atomizer 100 to flow out to the outside. Specifically, the suction member 700 can connect to the heating chamber 111 of the atomizer 100. Figure 3 As shown, when a user inhales through the suction device 700, the atomizer 100 can heat the aerosol generating matrix so that the aerosol generating matrix generates aerosol in the heating chamber 111, and the generated aerosol can be inhaled by the user through the suction device 700.
[0042] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating apparatus 1000 further includes a detection component 900, which is electrically connected to the electronic control component 300 and is used to detect air in the air inlet chamber 131 ( Figure 3The pressure detection aerosol generating device 1000 shown in the figure is used to determine whether it is being drawn in.
[0043] Specifically, in some embodiments, when a user inhales through the suction device 700, the air pressure in the air intake chamber 131 gradually decreases compared to the external air pressure, forming a negative pressure. The detection component 900 detects the pressure change in the air intake chamber 131, thus determining that the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a suction state. The electronic control component 300 then controls the atomizer 100 to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol, which is then inhaled by the user through the suction device 700. When the user stops inhaling, outside air enters the air intake chamber 131 to make the air pressure in the air intake chamber 131 the same as the external air pressure. The detection component 900 detects that the pressure change in the air intake chamber 131 returns to positive pressure, thus determining that the aerosol generating device 1000 is not in a suction state. The electronic control component 300 then controls the atomizer 100 to stop heating the aerosol generating matrix. Therefore, the aerosol generating device 1000 can achieve an instant-stop effect, improving the user experience. It should be noted that the detection component 900 may include a microphone, which is used to detect changes in air pressure in the air intake chamber 131.
[0044] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 1000 has multiple placement states, such as vertical, upside down, horizontal, and reversed. Specifically, the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a vertical position ( Figure 2 As shown, the aerosol generating device 1000 can be placed vertically on a supporting surface (such as a table or the ground) (the length direction of the aerosol generating device 1000 is parallel to the direction of gravity), and the suction component 700 is facing away from the supporting surface; the aerosol generating device 1000 is in an inverted state. Figure 4 As shown, the aerosol generating device 1000 can be placed vertically on the supporting surface, with the suction component 700 facing the supporting surface; the aerosol generating device 1000 can be placed horizontally. Figure 5 As shown, the aerosol generating device 1000 can be placed on a supporting surface, with the length direction of the aerosol generating device 1000 perpendicular to the direction of gravity; the aerosol generating device 1000 is in an inverted position. Figure 6 As shown, the aerosol generating device 1000 is positioned such that its length direction forms an angle with the direction of gravity, and the suction member 700 faces the bearing surface. When the aerosol generating device 1000 is in use, it can be positioned approximately upright.
[0045] Since the aerosol generating device 1000 in this embodiment includes an atomizer 100, it is understood that the aerosol generating device 1000 has at least the same beneficial effects as the atomizer 100. Therefore, for the beneficial effects of the aerosol generating device 1000, please refer to the beneficial effects of the atomizer 100 described below.
[0046] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The atomizer 100 of this application includes a heating element 30 and a support 10. The heating element 30 is disposed on the support 10 and is used to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol.
[0047] The heating element 30 is a device or material capable of generating heat energy and transferring it to the surrounding environment. In some embodiments of this application, the heating element 30 may include porous ceramic, a heating layer, and a conductive element. The heating layer is disposed on the porous ceramic, and the conductive element is electrically connected to both the heating layer and the electronic control component 300. When the conductive element transfers electrical energy to the heating layer, the heating layer can generate heat and atomize the aerosol matrix through the porous ceramic. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the porous ceramic is typically prepared by mixing ceramic slurry with a pore-forming agent and then sintering it, resulting in a large number of micropores within the sintered ceramic body. The heating layer includes, but is not limited to, at least one of heating circuits, heating plates, heating wires, and heating meshes. The conductive element includes, but is not limited to, wires and electrodes; the electrodes may be, but are not limited to, sheet-like, columnar, or porous powder forms.
[0048] The bracket 10 is a structure capable of mounting components such as the heating element 30. In some embodiments of this application, in addition to mounting the heating element 30, the bracket 10 can also mount devices such as the electronic control component 300. The materials of the bracket 10 include, but are not limited to, plastic, aluminum alloy, copper, iron, steel, and carbon fiber composite materials. In some embodiments, the bracket 10 may be made of plastic, making it lighter and facilitating the portability of the atomizer 100. In other embodiments, the bracket 10 may be made of a high-temperature resistant material, preventing damage (e.g., deformation) caused by heat and ensuring the stability and reliability of the atomizer 100. High-temperature resistant materials include, but are not limited to, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), high-melting-point metals, and high-temperature ceramics.
[0049] Since the atomizer 100 in this embodiment includes the bracket 10, it is understood that the atomizer 100 has at least the same beneficial effects as the bracket 10. Therefore, for the beneficial effects of the atomizer 100, please refer to the beneficial effects of the bracket 10 described below.
[0050] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The bracket 10 of this application includes a loading member 11 and an air inlet member 13. The loading member 11 is provided with a heating chamber 111 and a connecting hole 113. The heating chamber 111 is used to accommodate the heating element 30. The air inlet member 13 includes a first end 1301 and a second end 1303 opposite to each other. The first end 1301 of the air inlet member 13 is connected to the loading member 11. The air inlet member 13 is provided with an air inlet chamber 131 and an air inlet hole 133. The air inlet chamber 131 is connected to the heating chamber 111 through the connecting hole 113. The air inlet hole 133 is used to allow outside air to flow into the air inlet chamber 131. In the direction X (parallel to the length direction of the aerosol generating device 1000) from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303 of the air inlet member 13, the air inlet hole 133 is farther away from the second end 1303 of the air inlet member 13 than the connecting hole 113. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the heating element 30 is disposed in the heating chamber 111.
[0051] It is understood that the loading component 11 is a part of the support 10 used to load elements such as the heating element 30. The materials of the loading component 11 include, but are not limited to, plastic, glass, ceramic, and metal. In some embodiments of this application, the loading component 11 is further provided with a receiving cavity 115, which is connected to the heating cavity 111 and is used to receive the aerosol generating matrix. Wherein, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is suctioned, the aerosol generating matrix in the receiving cavity 115 can flow to the heating element 30, so that the aerosol generating matrix can generate aerosol under the heating action of the heating element 30.
[0052] The material of the air intake component 13 may include, but is not limited to, plastic, glass, ceramic, and metal. The air intake hole 133 mainly serves to connect the external environment and the air intake chamber 131, allowing outside air to flow into the air intake chamber 131 through the air intake hole 133. The cross-sectional shape of the air intake hole 133 may be regular or irregular; regular shapes include, but are not limited to, circles, squares, rectangles, and rhombuses. In some embodiments of this application, the connecting hole 113 is located at the bottom of the heating chamber 111. Figure 3 The heating chamber 11 is located at the lowest end of the heating chamber 11 and is connected to the air inlet chamber 131. Thus, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is drawn in, outside air can flow into the heating chamber 111 through the air inlet 133, the air inlet chamber 131 and the connecting hole 113 in sequence, so that the aerosol generating matrix can be heated to generate aerosol.
[0053] As can be seen from the above, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in the upright position, the condensate formed after the aerosol enters the air intake chamber 131 through the connecting hole 113, or the aerosol generating matrix leaking from the air intake chamber 131 through the connecting hole 113, will mostly be deposited on the second end 1303 of the air intake component 13 under the action of gravity (e.g., Figure 3(as shown in "A" in the text). Therefore, compared to the direction X from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303, where the air inlet 133 is closer to the second end 1303 than the connecting hole 113, in this embodiment, the air inlet 133 is farther away from the second end 1303 of the air inlet 13 than the connecting hole 113. This makes it difficult for condensate or leaked aerosol generation matrix (hereinafter referred to as "leakage") to come into contact with the air inlet 133, thereby reducing the possibility of the air inlet 133 becoming blocked, ensuring normal airflow, and improving the stability and reliability of the atomizer 100.
[0054] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the connecting hole 113 may be a perforation with a certain depth, and the connecting hole 113 includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the connecting hole 113 is connected to the heating chamber 111, and the second end of the connecting hole 113 is connected to the air intake chamber 131. Specifically, in the direction X from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13, the air intake hole 133 being further away from the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13 than the connecting hole 113 can be: in the direction X from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13, the air intake hole 133 being further away from the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13 than the second end 1303 of the connecting hole 113.
[0055] In some embodiments, the loading component 11 and the air intake component 13 can be an integral structure, that is, the loading component 11 and the air intake component 13 are a single structure manufactured using an integral molding process. This can improve the stability of the connection between the loading component 11 and the air intake component 13 and ensure the normal operation of the atomizer 100. In other embodiments, the loading component 11 and the air intake component 13 can be separate structures, that is, the loading component 11 and the air intake component 13 are two different structures. The loading component 11 and the air intake component 13 can be combined using a detachable connection method or a non-detachable connection method. Specifically, detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, snap-fit connections or bolt connections; non-detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, bonding or welding.
[0056] In the bracket 10 of this application embodiment, the air intake chamber 131 is connected to the heating chamber 111 through the connecting hole 113. The air intake hole 133 is used to allow outside air to flow into the air intake chamber 131. In the direction X from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13, the air intake hole 133 is farther away from the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13 than the connecting hole 113. As a result, the condensate formed after the aerosol entering the air intake chamber 131 through the connecting hole 113 is unlikely to come into contact with the air intake hole 133, thereby reducing the possibility of the air intake hole 133 being blocked, ensuring the normal flow of outside air, and improving the stability and reliability of the atomizer 100.
[0057] The bracket 10 will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0058] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the air intake chamber 131 includes a first chamber 1311 and a second chamber 1313 that are connected. The first chamber 1311 is closer to the second end 1303 of the air intake member 13 than the second chamber 1313. The connecting hole 113 is connected to the first chamber 1311, and the air intake hole 133 is connected to the second chamber 1313 and spaced apart from the first end 1301 of the air intake member 13.
[0059] Specifically, in some embodiments, in a direction perpendicular to the direction from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303, the second cavity 1313 at least partially overlaps with the heating cavity 111. Thus, when the connecting hole 113 communicates with the first cavity 1311 and the air inlet 133 communicates with the second cavity 1313, the air inlet 133 is higher than the connecting hole 113, and there is a certain distance between the air inlet 133 and the first end 1301 of the air inlet member 13.
[0060] In this case, since the aerosol generating device 1000 is in an inverted state, the leaked liquid will be deposited under gravity at the first end 1301 of the air inlet 13 and located in the second cavity 1313 (e.g., Figure 4 (as shown in "A" in the text). Therefore, compared to the air inlet 133 being located at the first end 1301 of the air inlet component 13, the air inlet 133 in this embodiment is spaced from the first end 1301 of the air inlet component 13, which makes it difficult for leaking liquid to come into contact with the air inlet 133, thereby reducing the possibility of the air inlet 133 being blocked, ensuring the normal flow of outside air, and thus improving the stability and reliability of the atomizer 100.
[0061] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the air intake 13 includes a peripheral wall 135 and an air intake portion 137. The air intake portion 137 includes a first side 1371 and a second side 1373 facing away from each other. The first side 1371 is connected to the inner side 1351 of the peripheral wall 135, and the air intake hole 133 penetrates the peripheral wall 135 and the air intake portion 137. When the direction X from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303 of the air intake 13 is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the second side 1373 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the horizontal plane is perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
[0062] Specifically, please combine Figure 5In some embodiments, when the direction X from the first end 1301 to the second end 1303 of the air intake 13 is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the second side 1373 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. That is, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a flat position, the second side 1373 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the connecting hole 113 is located on the side where the second side 1373 of the air intake 137 is located.
[0063] It is understandable that when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a horizontal position, the leaked liquid will be deposited under gravity in the space formed by the peripheral wall 135 and the second side 1373 (e.g., Figure 5 (as shown in "A1"), in this case, if the second side 1373 is parallel to the horizontal plane, the leaked liquid will directly contact the air inlet 133, causing the air inlet 133 to become blocked and affecting the normal flow of outside air. However, in some embodiments of this application, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a flat position, the second side 1373 is tilted relative to the horizontal plane. Therefore, compared to when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a flat position and the second side 1373 is parallel to the horizontal plane, the leaked liquid is less likely to contact the air inlet 133, thereby reducing the possibility of the air inlet 133 becoming blocked, ensuring the normal flow of outside air, and improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the atomizer 100 and the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0064] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the air intake 13 further includes a protrusion 139, which extends from the second side 1373 in a direction away from the first side 1371, and the free end 1391 of the protrusion 139 is spaced apart from the inner side 1351 of the peripheral wall 135.
[0065] Specifically, in some embodiments, the free end 1391 of the protrusion 139 is spaced from the inner side 1351 of the peripheral wall 135, thereby, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a flat position, the leaked liquid can accumulate in the space formed by the protrusion 139, the second side 1373, and the inner side 1351 of the peripheral wall 135 (e.g., Figure 5 (at “A2” in the text), thereby preventing the leaked liquid from flowing downward along the second side 1373 under the action of gravity and coming into contact with the air inlet 133, causing the air inlet 133 to become blocked, thus ensuring the normal flow of outside air and improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the atomizer 100 and the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0066] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the protrusion 139 also includes a connecting end 1393 opposite to the free end 1391, the connecting end 1393 being connected to the second side 1373, and the free end 1391 being further away from the air inlet 133 than the connecting end 1393. Therefore, compared to the free end 1391 being closer to the air inlet 133 than the connecting end 1393, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a flat position, the space formed by the protrusion 139, the second side 1373, and the inner side 1351 of the peripheral wall 135 is deeper. This makes it difficult for leaked liquid accumulated in this space to flow downwards along the second side 1373 beyond the protrusion 139, thereby reducing the possibility of blockage of the air inlet 133, ensuring normal airflow, and improving the stability and reliability of the atomizer 100.
[0067] Additionally, please combine Figure 6 When the aerosol generating device 1000 is in reverse discharge mode, the leaked liquid will be deposited under gravity in the space formed by the peripheral wall 135 and the second end 1303 (e.g., Figure 6 (at point "A" in the text), in this case, the leakage is away from the air inlet 133, thereby preventing the air inlet 133 from becoming blocked.
[0068] In conclusion, please combine Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the aerosol generating device 1000 is placed at any angle, that is, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is placed vertically, upside down, horizontally, or reversed, the leakage can be accumulated, reducing the leakage exposure and the possibility of the leakage coming into contact with the air inlet 133 and causing blockage of the air inlet 133. This ensures the normal flow of outside air and improves the stability and reliability of the aerosol generating device 1000.
