[0037] In this embodiment, by providing an adjustment member 300 in the liquid storage chamber 200 and a pressing part 110 on the container wall 100, the adjustment member 300 can be activated through the pressing part 110 during use to release the adjustment matrix. This helps to achieve real-time adjustment of the physicochemical properties of the atomizing liquid (such as composition, concentration, viscosity, etc.) to meet the user's adjustment needs.

[0038] Embodiments of the liquid storage container of the atomizer in this application:

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The atomizer's liquid storage container includes a container wall 100 and at least one regulating element 300. The container wall 100 defines a storage cavity 200 for storing the atomizing liquid, the storage cavity 200 having a receiving area. The regulating element 300 is disposed in the receiving area and contains a regulating matrix. The regulating matrix is ​​used to mix with the atomizing liquid to change the physicochemical properties of the atomizing liquid by releasing and / or adsorbing substances, thereby meeting the user's adjustment needs and usage requirements.

[0040] Those skilled in the art will understand that the regulating element 300 can be configured to release the regulating matrix upon activation, thereby achieving controllable regulation of the atomizing liquid. Therefore, the regulating element 300 can be configured as a core-shell structure, that is, with the regulating matrix or the regulating matrix and other components as the core, and a shell covering the outside of the core. In use, the core is exposed by breaking the shell, thereby releasing the regulating matrix.

[0041] To facilitate activation of the regulating element 300 from outside the liquid storage container, thus simplifying the operational steps required to adjust the atomizing liquid composition, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The container wall 100 includes a pressing part 110, which is configured to deform under external pressure to apply force to the adjusting member 300, causing the adjusting member 300 to release the adjusting matrix into the atomizing liquid in the storage chamber 200. This facilitates the adjustment of the atomizing liquid and also increases the enjoyment of use. It can be understood that the accommodating area is the area in the storage chamber 200 that can be acted upon by the pressing part 110.

[0042] For example, please refer to Figure 1The container wall 100 includes a rigid portion 120 and a pressing portion 110. The rigid portion 120 can be made of metal, plastic, or other hard materials. The pressing portion 110 can be made of rubber, silicone, or other soft materials. The rigid portion 120 and the pressing portion 110 can be bonded together to jointly enclose and form a liquid storage cavity 200. Furthermore, as... Figure 1 As shown, the pressing part 110 can be used to form at least a portion of one side wall of the liquid storage container and two opposing side walls adjacent to the side wall, so as to apply force to the adjusting member 300 from opposite sides of the liquid storage container.

[0043] In use, the position of the liquid storage container can be adjusted so that the adjusting element 300 is close to the pressing part 110; then, the adjusting element 300 can be squeezed from both sides through the pressing part 110 with fingers to release the adjusting matrix in the adjusting element 300; then the liquid storage container can be shaken to fully mix the adjusting matrix and the atomizing liquid.

[0044] Furthermore, depending on the materials of the rigid part 120 and the pressing part 110, the adhesive used to bond the rigid part 120 and the pressing part 110 can be a silicone adhesive or other types of adhesives, such as: Bonder 937T food-grade silicone sealant, Wacker Elastoil E43 food-grade silicone electronic component adhesive, Dow Corning 732 food-grade high-temperature resistant glass sealant, etc. In other embodiments, the rigid part 120 and the pressing part 110 can also be connected by welding or other sealing connection methods, as long as leakage is prevented at the connection between the rigid part 120 and the pressing part 110 under normal use conditions.

[0045] In other embodiments, the container wall 100 of the liquid storage container may also be made of flexible material, with the entire container serving as the pressing part 110, as long as it meets the design and usage requirements.

[0046] In some embodiments, the rigid portion 120 of the container wall 100 may surround and form an atomizing channel 130 located in the middle of the liquid storage container, and a heating wire 500 or an atomizing core for heating the atomizing liquid to generate an aerosol may be provided in the atomizing channel 130.

[0047] To facilitate activation of the adjustment element 300, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The adjusting member 300 can be attached to the pressing part 110 to fix its position, which helps to achieve precise operation. The area in the liquid storage cavity 200 adjacent to the pressing part 110 is the receiving area.

[0048] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2A limiting member 400 can be provided in the liquid storage chamber 200. The limiting member 400 and the pressing part 110 together form a limiting structure to restrict the position of the adjusting member 300. This helps to determine the position of the adjusting member 300 so that the adjusting member 300, which is limited by the limiting member 400, can be squeezed by the pressing part 110 during use, which facilitates the release of the adjusting matrix.

[0049] In a further embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The limiting member 400 and the container wall 100 can be arranged to form a receiving cavity 410, which is the aforementioned receiving area. The adjusting member 300 is disposed in the receiving cavity 410. The receiving cavity 410 has a communicating channel 420, which is configured to restrict the adjusting member 300 from leaving the receiving cavity 410 and to connect the liquid storage cavity 200 and the receiving cavity 410 so that the atomizing liquid can enter the receiving cavity 410.

[0050] The receiving cavity 410 formed by the limiting member 400 can be used to store the regulating member 300. The receiving cavity 410 can be divided into a release position opposite to the pressing part 110 and a storage position opposite to the rigid part 120 adjacent to the pressing part 110. The regulating member 300 in the release position can be directly activated by pressing through the pressing part 110. As the released regulating matrix and atomizing liquid mix, the activated regulating member 300 gradually releases its occupancy of the release position, and the regulating member 300 in the storage position can be added to the release position. Both the release position and the storage position can be used to pre-store the regulating member 300, which is beneficial to increasing the number of regulating members 300 that can be stored and are easy to activate in the liquid storage container.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connecting channel 420 can also allow the regulating member 300 that releases the regulating matrix to move out of the receiving cavity 410, which not only helps the atomizing liquid and the released regulating matrix to mix, but also facilitates the replenishment of the regulating member 300 in the storage position in the receiving cavity 410 to the release position.

[0052] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The pressing part 110 can be set near one end of the liquid storage container. The limiting member 400 is a plate-shaped structure. The limiting member 400 is set parallel to the pressing part 110 inside the liquid storage cavity 200. The periphery of the limiting member 400 is connected to the rigid part 120 so that the limiting member 400 and the container wall 100 surround to form a receiving cavity 410. The width of the receiving cavity 410 can be slightly larger than the width of the adjusting member 300 so that the adjusting member 300 can be arranged in rows in the receiving cavity 410.

[0053] One end of the limiting member 400 near the pressing part 110 forms a communicating channel 420 with the container wall 100, so that the liquid storage chamber 200 and the receiving chamber 410 are connected. To prevent the regulating member 300 that has not been activated by compression from leaving the receiving chamber 410 through the communicating channel 420, the size of the communicating channel 420 can be configured to be smaller than the size of the regulating member 300. For example, if the regulating member 300 is spherical, the diameter of the inscribed circle of the communicating channel 420 can be slightly smaller than the diameter of the regulating member 300. In this way, the regulating member 300 that has not been activated by compression can be prevented from leaving the receiving chamber 410, while allowing the regulating member 300 that has been deformed and broken after compression to enter the liquid storage chamber 200, so that the atomizing liquid and the regulating matrix can be fully mixed. Of course, since the atomizing liquid can also enter the receiving cavity 410 through the connecting channel 420, the adjusting member 300, which is deformed and broken after being squeezed, can also mix with the atomizing liquid in the receiving cavity 410. Therefore, the connecting channel 420 is configured to allow only the atomizing liquid to enter and exit.

[0054] In use, the position of the liquid storage container can be adjusted so that the pressing part 110 is located at the bottom of the liquid storage container. As the adjustment member 300 in the release position is squeezed, deformed, and broken, it is removed from the release position. The adjustment member 300 in the storage position in the receiving cavity 410 can be automatically replenished to the release position under the action of gravity so as to continue to adjust the atomizing liquid.

[0055] In another example, the limiting member 400 may also include two limiting rods parallel to the pressing part 110. The two limiting rods and the container wall 100 with the pressing part 110 together define a storage channel for the adjustment member 300 to store and move. When in use, the storage channel can be in an upright state and the pressing part 110 is located at the bottom of the liquid storage container. Then the adjustment member 300 can automatically move to the release position under the action of gravity, which is convenient for squeezing activation.

[0056] In summary, the specific shape and structure of the limiting member 400 are not limited, as long as it can cooperate with the container wall 100 to limit the adjusting member 300 so that the adjusting member 300 can be released by the pressing part 110 pressing the adjusting member 300.

[0057] In one embodiment, the adjusting member 300 may be a popping bead, which includes a coating layer and an adjusting matrix encapsulated within the coating layer. In use, the adjusting matrix can be released by squeezing to break the structure of the coating layer.

[0058] To reduce the risk of accidental damage to the coating layer, ensuring it is only crushed when adjustment is required, the coating layer needs to possess suitable strength. In one embodiment, the coating layer material may include at least one of gelatin, sodium alginate, and polytetrafluoroethylene. In other embodiments, the coating layer may also be made of other materials that meet design and usage requirements.

[0059] The phrase "the conditioning matrix is ​​configured to alter the physicochemical properties of the atomizing liquid by releasing and / or adsorbing substances" can be understood as follows: the conditioning matrix includes at least one of additive components and adsorbent components. The additive components can be mixed components, altering the physicochemical properties (such as concentration, viscosity, etc.) of the atomizing liquid through physical mixing; or they can be reactive components, changing the original composition of the atomizing liquid after mixing with it, thereby altering its physicochemical properties.

[0060] In one embodiment, the conditioning matrix may include at least one of an adsorbent, a flavor additive, and a mouthfeel modifier, and may also include other components desired by the user.

[0061] The adsorbent, as an adsorption component, may include a nicotine adsorbent for reducing the nicotine content in the atomizing liquid. The nicotine adsorbent may include at least one of the following: activated carbon, mordenite powder, and attapulgite powder. The adsorbent may also be an adsorbent for absorbing other components in the atomizing liquid, as long as it meets the user's needs.

[0062] Flavor additives and taste modifiers are additive components. Flavor additives may include at least one of lemon flavoring and strawberry flavoring to enhance the flavor of the atomized liquid. Taste modifiers may include at least one of cooling agents, sweeteners, and acidifiers to adjust the taste of the atomized liquid. In other embodiments, flavor additives and taste modifiers may include other components desired by the user.

[0063] Those skilled in the art should know that the aforementioned conditioning matrix, or the adsorbents, flavor additives and taste modifiers that make up the conditioning matrix, can all be obtained through commercial channels, and their specific components and parameters will not be described here.

[0064] In one embodiment, in order to allow for more diverse adjustment possibilities of the atomizing liquid, at least two types of adjustment components 300 may be provided in the liquid storage chamber 200, each of which has a different type or dosage of adjustment matrix.

[0065] In a further embodiment, each adjusting member 300 is of a different size so that when the adjusting member 300 is squeezed through the pressing part 110, its size can be used to determine its type, and the desired type of adjusting member 300 can be squeezed. For example, the reservoir 200 is provided with multiple adjusting members 300 of the same type but different dosages of adjusting matrix. The size of each adjusting member 300 is approximately proportional to the dosage of the adjusting matrix therein. When in use, the user can squeeze and activate an adjusting member 300 of an appropriate size as needed.

[0066] In another further embodiment, each regulator 300 has an identification mark on its surface, the identification mark including at least one of color marking and pattern marking; the container wall 100 has a transparent portion to allow the type of regulator 300 to be distinguished by the identification mark. Those skilled in the art will understand that the aforementioned transparent portion can be formed of a transparent or translucent material, as long as it meets the user's need to distinguish the regulator 300.

[0067] For example, the storage chamber 200 is provided with two types of regulating agents 300 with different types of regulating matrices but the same dosage; one type contains a cooling agent and is identified by a red label; the other type contains a sweetener and is identified by a blue label. The transparent portion of the container wall 100 can be a silicone window, which allows for visual differentiation of different types of regulating matrices during use.

[0068] In other embodiments, different types of adjustment members 300 can be set to different sizes, or the above-mentioned identification marks can be set on the surface of the adjustment member 300 to form a dual identification mechanism.

[0069] An embodiment of the atomizer in this application:

[0070] In one embodiment, the atomizer includes an atomizing component and a liquid storage container as described in any of the above embodiments. The atomizing component is used to heat the atomizing liquid to generate an aerosol; the liquid storage container is used to supply the atomizing liquid to the atomizing component.

[0071] The liquid storage container and the atomizing assembly can be assembled together in a detachable or non-detachable manner. That is, in different types of atomizers, the liquid storage chamber 200 can be set on the liquid storage container integrated in the atomizer or in a detachable liquid storage container. The liquid storage container is installed on the atomizing assembly to supply atomizing liquid to the atomizing assembly.

[0072] In some embodiments, the pressing part 110 of the liquid storage container may be exposed to the outside of the atomizer and is configured to allow a user to trigger the release of the regulating matrix by pressing the pressing part 110. Exemplarily, the pressing part 110 of the liquid storage container is located on one side of the liquid storage container and exposed to the outside of the liquid storage container. An atomizing airway 130 is formed in the middle of the liquid storage container. An atomizing assembly is provided in the atomizing airway 130, including a heating wire 500 and a liquid storage element (not shown) disposed around the heating wire 500. A liquid guiding hole for communicating with the liquid storage chamber 200 may be provided on the channel wall of the atomizing airway 130 corresponding to the liquid storage element. The liquid storage element can absorb the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 200 through the liquid guiding hole and be heated by the heating wire 500 to form an aerosol.

[0073] In other embodiments, the pressing part 110 of the liquid storage container can also be blocked by the atomizing component. When adjusting the atomizing liquid, the atomizing component can be removed and then reinstalled after adjustment.

[0074] Examples of the atomizing device in this application:

[0075] In one embodiment, the atomizing device includes a power supply component and an atomizer as described in the above embodiments. The power supply component is electrically connected to the atomizer and is used to supply power to the atomizer.

[0076] The power supply component can be understood as a collection of circuit boards, battery cells, and other related components. It primarily supports all or some of the functions of the atomizing device, such as controlling the atomizing component to start and stop heating the atomizing liquid, adjusting the heating power of the heating wire 500, and displaying the status information of the atomizing device. The power supply component and the atomizer can be integrated or assembled separately; its function is simply to supply power to the atomizer.

[0077] The above examples illustrate this application only to aid understanding and are not intended to limit its scope. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented.
