[0055] In related technologies, aerosol generating devices include an atomizing component, which includes an atomizing cartridge containing an aerosol generating matrix. The atomizing cartridge is heated and atomized to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. However, the atomizing cartridges in these related technologies store relatively little aerosol generating matrix, resulting in frequent cartridge replacements and negatively impacting the user experience. To address this issue, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1As shown in Figure 2(a), this application provides an atomizing bullet 30, an atomizing component 100, and an aerosol generating device 1000.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 2(a), Figure 2(b) and Figure 3 The atomizing bullet 30 of this application includes a main body 31 and an atomizing core 33. The main body 31 is provided with an atomizing chamber 311 and a mounting chamber 313. A connector 3133 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting chamber 313 for connecting the liquid storage component 50. The atomizing core 33 is disposed in the atomizing chamber 311 and communicates with the mounting chamber 313. The atomizing core 33 stores an aerosol generating matrix and is used to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol.
[0057] It is understood that the main body 31 is the structure within the atomizing cartridge 30 that can accommodate and protect the components other than the main body 31. Components other than the main body 31 mentioned in this article include, but are not limited to, the atomizing core 33. The materials of the main body 31 include, but are not limited to, plastics, aluminum alloys, copper, iron, steel, carbon fiber composites, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) materials, high-melting-point metals, and high-temperature resistant ceramics.
[0058] The atomizing core 33 is a structure in the atomizing bullet 30 capable of heating 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 liquid, fully solid, or semi-solid. The aerosol 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. In some embodiments of this application, the aerosol-generating matrix is in liquid form.
[0059] In some embodiments, the atomizing core 33 can heat the object being heated (such as an aerosol generating matrix) through direct contact. For example, the atomizing core 33 can directly convert other forms of energy, such as electrical energy, chemical energy, or solar energy, into heat energy, which is then conducted to other parts that need to be heated. In other embodiments, the atomizing core 33 can heat the object being heated in a non-contact manner. For example, the atomizing core 33 emits other forms of energy, such as electromagnetic waves, lasers, infrared light, or thermal radiation, that can directly act on the surface of the part to be heated, thereby raising the temperature of the area receiving the electromagnetic waves, lasers, infrared light, or thermal radiation.
[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizing core 33 includes a storage component 331 and a heating component 333. The storage component 331 stores the aerosol generating matrix, and the heating component 333 is connected to the storage component 331 and is used to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol. The storage component 331 can be a liquid storage cotton; the material of the storage component 331 includes, but is not limited to, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester fiber, and glass fiber. The heating component 333 is the element in the atomizing core 33 capable of heating the aerosol generating matrix in the storage component 331. Specifically, the atomizing core 33 also includes a conductive component, which is electrically connected to the heating component 333 and is used to transfer electrical energy to the heating component 333. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the storage device 331 may be annular, and the heating element 333 may include heating lines (such as PVD film or printed thick film, etc.). The heating element 333 is disposed on the inner wall of the storage device 331. When the conductive element transmits electrical energy to the heating element 333, the heating element 333 can generate heat to heat the aerosol generation matrix in the storage device 331.
[0061] It should be noted that in some embodiments, in addition to the heating circuit, the heating element 333 may also include a heating film, heating sheet, heating wire, and heating mesh, etc., and this application does not impose any limitations. The material of the heating element 333 can be a metallic material with appropriate impedance, such as at least one of silver, silver palladium, platinum, gold, copper, nickel, aluminum, tungsten, 430, 316L, and FeCrAl; the material of the heating element 333 can also be a metal composite material, such as at least one of cermet, metallic glass, and conductive ceramic. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the heating element 333 may have certain oxidation resistance properties.
[0062] The reservoir 50 is a structure in the atomizing assembly 100 used to store the aerosol generation matrix. In some embodiments of this application, the reservoir 50 can be detachably disposed in the mounting cavity 313 via a connector 3133 on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 313. The connector 3133 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connections and snap-fit fasteners. For example, if the connector 3133 includes a threaded connection, the peripheral wall of the reservoir 50 may be provided with threads, which engage with the threaded connection to allow the reservoir 50 to be detachably disposed in the mounting cavity 313.
[0063] For example, the reservoir 50 includes an oil bottle. The mass of aerosol generating matrix stored in the reservoir 50 is greater than the mass of aerosol generating matrix stored in the storage unit 331. For instance, the reservoir 50 can store 10 ml of aerosol generating matrix, while the storage unit 331 can store 2 ml. Therefore, when the aerosol generating matrix in the storage unit 331 is depleted, the reservoir 50 can promptly replenish it. This eliminates the need for frequent replacement of the atomizing cartridge 30, improving the user experience. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for frequent manual replenishment of the atomizing cartridge 30 (which is an open-type refill cartridge), saving refilling steps and improving the user experience while reducing the risk of leakage.
[0064] In addition, in some embodiments of this application, the liquid storage component 50 only supplements the aerosol generation matrix to the storage component 331. That is, the liquid storage component 50 can only be connected to the storage component 331 and not to the heating component 333. Compared with the liquid storage component 50 being directly connected to the heating component 333, there is less aerosol generation matrix in contact with the heating component 333, thereby improving the compliance of the aerosol generation device 1000.
[0065] In the atomizing cartridge 30 of this application embodiment, a connector 3133 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 313. The connector 3133 is used to connect to the liquid storage component 50, and the liquid storage component 50 stores an aerosol generating matrix. Thus, after the aerosol generating matrix in the atomizing cartridge 30 is depleted, the liquid storage component 50 can replenish the aerosol generating matrix for the atomizing core 33. Compared with related technologies, the replacement frequency of the atomizing cartridge 30 is lower, thereby improving the user experience.
[0066] Furthermore, the liquid reservoir 50 is detachably mounted in the mounting cavity 313 via the connector 3133. This allows the liquid reservoir 50 to be removed and replaced after the aerosol generating matrix inside it is depleted. Compared to directly replacing the atomizing cartridge 30, this reduces vaping costs and improves the user's vaping experience. Moreover, compared to the atomizing cartridge 30 without the liquid reservoir 50, the inclusion of the liquid reservoir 50 in this application increases the number of suction ports on the atomizing cartridge 30, further reducing vaping costs.
[0067] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further explains the atomizing bomb 30.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 2(a), Figure 2(b) and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 faces the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313; the direction of the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 is opposite to the flow direction of the aerosol (parallel to the length direction X of the atomizing bomb 30).
[0069] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the liquid reservoir 50 is housed in the mounting cavity 313, the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 faces the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313, and the direction of the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 is opposite to the flow direction of the aerosol. That is, the liquid reservoir 50 is installed in the mounting cavity 313 in an inverted manner. Thus, during use, the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid reservoir 50 can flow out under the action of gravity to replenish the atomizing bullet 30 with the aerosol generating matrix. Compared with the liquid reservoir 50 being installed in the mounting cavity 313 in an upright manner (the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 is opposite to the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313), when replenishing the aerosol generating matrix to the storage unit 331, there is no need to perform an inversion operation. That is, the atomizing bullet 30 does not need to be inverted to replenish the aerosol generating matrix to the storage unit 331, making the liquid replenishment operation simpler and improving the user experience. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, when the atomizing bomb 30 is used, the flow direction of the aerosol is opposite to the direction of gravity; or, the angle between the opposite direction of the aerosol flow and the direction of gravity is less than 90°.
[0070] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the atomizing bullet 30 is provided with a flow path 301 for the aerosol generation matrix in the inner cavity of the liquid storage component 50 to flow to the atomizing core 33; the atomizing bullet 30 also includes a barrier 37 disposed on the main body 31 and used to selectively open or close the flow path 301.
[0071] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the barrier 37 connects to the flow path 301, the opening 51 of the liquid storage 50 is connected to the flow path 301. In this case, the aerosol generating matrix in the inner cavity of the liquid storage 50 can flow to the storage 331 through the flow path 301 to replenish the storage 331 with the aerosol generating matrix. When the barrier 37 disconnects from the flow path 301, the opening 51 of the liquid storage 50 is disconnected from the flow path 301. In this case, the aerosol generating matrix in the inner cavity of the liquid storage 50 cannot flow to the storage 331.
[0072] For example, during the use of the atomizing bullet 30, the flow path 301 can always be in a conductive state, so that the aerosol generating matrix in the storage component 331 can be replenished at any time, preventing the heating element 333 from burning dry due to insufficient aerosol generating matrix in the storage component 331. This not only reduces the possibility of damage to the heating element 333, but also improves the user's inhalation experience.
[0073] In some embodiments, the main body 31 includes a connected body portion 317 and a base 318, which are connected to form an atomizing chamber 311. The body portion 317 has a mounting cavity 313, and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313 has a through hole 319. A flow channel 303 is provided between the body portion 317 and the base 318, communicating with the storage component 331 and forming a flow path 301 together with the through hole 319. It is understood that in this embodiment, the flow channel 303 may include the gap between the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313 and the base 318.
[0074] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the barrier 37 opens the flow path 301, that is, when the barrier 37 connects the through hole 319 and the flow channel 303, the aerosol generating matrix in the inner cavity of the liquid storage member 50 can flow to the storage member 331 through the flow path 301 to replenish the storage member 331 with the aerosol generating matrix; when the barrier 37 disconnects the flow path 301, that is, when the barrier 37 blocks the connection between the through hole 319 and the flow channel 303, the aerosol generating matrix in the inner cavity of the liquid storage member 50 cannot flow to the storage member 331.
[0075] In some embodiments, the body portion 317 and the housing 10 can be joined together by a detachable connection method, including but not limited to snap-fit connections and bolt connections. The body portion 317 and the base 318 can be joined together by a detachable or non-detachable connection method. Detachable connection methods include but are not limited to bolt connections or snap-fit connections; non-detachable connection methods include but are not limited to adhesive or welding.
[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the atomizing bullet 30 further includes a sealing element 391 disposed on the base 318, the sealing element 391 being used to block the communication between the flow channel 303 and the outside of the atomizing bullet 30. It is understood that in this embodiment, the flow channel 303 may include a gap between the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313 and the sealing element 391.
[0077] Specifically, in some embodiments, the sealing element 391 for blocking the communication between the flow channel 303 and the outside of the atomizing bullet 30 may include: the sealing element 391 sealing at least one of the gaps between the body part 317 and the base 318, the gap between the barrier 37 and the body 31, and the gap between the storage member 331 and the base 318, thereby preventing the aerosol generating matrix in the flow channel 303 from flowing out of the atomizing bullet 30 through the aforementioned gaps. This ensures, on the one hand, that the liquid storage member 50 effectively replenishes the storage member 331 with the aerosol generating matrix; and on the other hand, prevents leakage of the aerosol generating matrix from the aerosol generating device 1000 ( Figure 1 The electronic components shown are damaged. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the sealing element 391 is made of materials including, but not limited to, silicone and rubber.
[0078] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sealing element 391 includes a first side and a second side facing away from each other. The first side is connected to the base 318, and the second side is opposite to the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313. The sealing element 391 is provided with a groove 3911, which is recessed from the second side toward the first side. The flow channel 303 includes the groove 3911.
[0079] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the flow path 301 is open by the barrier 37, the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage 50 can flow into the groove 3911 through the through hole 319. Thus, the groove 3911 can reduce the possibility of leakage of the aerosol generating matrix in the flow channel 303 on the one hand, and guide the flow of the aerosol generating matrix on the other hand, thereby improving the efficiency of the liquid storage 50 in replenishing the storage 331 with the aerosol generating matrix.
[0080] In some embodiments, the second side of the sealing element 391 is connected to the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313, in which case the groove 3911 serves as the flow channel 303. In other embodiments, the second side of the sealing element 391 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313, in which case the groove 3911, and the gap between the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313 and the sealing element 391 together form the flow channel 303.
[0081] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the barrier 37 includes a barrier body 371, which includes a rotating part 3711 and a barrier part 3713. The rotating part 3711 is rotatably disposed on the main body 31, and the barrier part 3713 is connected to the rotating part 3711 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating part 3711. When the barrier part 3713 corresponds to the through hole 319, the barrier 37 is used to disconnect the flow path 301; when the barrier part 3713 is misaligned with the through hole 319, the barrier 37 is used to open the flow path 301.
[0082] Specifically, in some embodiments, the rotating part 3711 is rotatably disposed through the base 318, and the blocking part 3713 is connected to the rotating part 3711 and extends into the space between the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313 and the base 318. When the rotating part 3711 rotates relative to the base 318, the blocking part 3713 can rotate synchronously with the rotating part 3711. When the blocking part 3713 corresponds to the through hole 319, the blocking member 37 can disconnect the flow path 301, that is, the blocking part 3713 can close the connection between the through hole 319 and the flow channel 303; when the blocking part 3713 is misaligned with the through hole 319, the blocking member 37 can open the flow path 301, that is, the blocking part 3713 can connect the through hole 319 and the flow channel 303.
[0083] The correspondence between the blocking part 3713 and the through hole 319 can be as follows: the projection of the through hole 319 onto the plane perpendicular to the length direction X of the atomizing bullet 30 (as shown in FIG. 2(a)) completely coincides with the projection of the blocking part 3713 onto the plane perpendicular to the length direction X of the atomizing bullet 30; or, the projection of the through hole 319 onto the plane perpendicular to the length direction X of the atomizing bullet 30 is completely located within the projection of the blocking part 3713 onto the plane perpendicular to the length direction X of the atomizing bullet 30.
[0084] Understandably, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional dimension of the through hole 319 is smaller than the dimension of the opening 51 of the liquid storage member 50. Therefore, when the barrier portion 3713 is misaligned with the through hole 319 and the flow path 301 is open, the aerosol-generating matrix in the cavity of the liquid storage member 50 can flow into the flow path 301 through the opening 51. The cross-sectional dimension of the barrier portion 3713 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional dimension of the through hole 319, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the barrier portion 3713 on the through hole 319 when the barrier portion 3713 corresponds to the through hole 319, preventing the aerosol-generating matrix in the liquid storage member 50 from still flowing out through the through hole 319 when the barrier portion 3713 corresponds to the through hole 319.
[0085] In some embodiments, the barrier portion 3713 is provided with a sealing member 3715. When the barrier portion 3713 corresponds to the through hole 319, the sealing member 3715 is used to seal the gap between the barrier portion 3713 and the through hole 319. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the material of the sealing member 3715 includes, but is not limited to, silicone or rubber.
[0086] The sealing element 3715 can improve the sealing effect of the barrier part 3713 on the through hole 319, ensuring that the aerosol generation matrix in the liquid storage part 50 will not flow out through the through hole 319 when the barrier part 3713 corresponds to the through hole 319, thereby reducing the risk of leakage.
[0087] In some embodiments, the atomizing bullet 30 includes a driving device that can drive the rotating part 3711 to rotate relative to the base 318, thereby opening or closing the flow path 301. For example, if the aerosol generating device 1000 in the storage unit 331 is insufficient, the user can press a button controlling the driving device to drive the rotating part 3711 to rotate, and cause the blocking part 3713 to rotate from a position corresponding to the through hole 319 to a position misaligned with the through hole 319, thereby opening the flow path 301, and the liquid storage unit 50 can replenish the aerosol generating matrix in the storage unit 331.
[0088] In other embodiments, the user can manually drive the rotating part 3711 to rotate relative to the base 318, thereby opening or closing the flow path 301. For example, if the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage unit 331 is insufficient, the user can manually drive the rotating part 3711 to rotate, causing the blocking part 3713 to rotate from a position corresponding to the through hole 319 to a position misaligned with the through hole 319, thereby opening the flow path 301 and allowing the liquid storage unit 50 to replenish the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage unit 331. Manual operation improves operability.
[0089] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the barrier 37 also includes a knob 373, which is disposed outside the main body 31 and connected to the rotating part 3711. The knob 373 is used by the user to operate the rotating part 3711.
[0090] Specifically, in some embodiments, when a user applies force to the knob 373, the knob 373 can rotate relative to the main body 31, causing the rotating part 3711 and the blocking part 3713 to rotate relative to the main body 31, thereby opening or closing the flow path 301. For example, the knob 373 may be provided with anti-slip protrusions. The anti-slip protrusions increase the friction on the outer peripheral wall of the knob 373, making it easier for the user to apply force to the knob 373 and improving the user experience.
[0091] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The atomizing assembly 100 of this application includes the atomizing cartridge 30 of any of the above embodiments. Further, in some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 100 also includes a liquid storage component 50, which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 313. The liquid storage component 50 stores an aerosol generating matrix and is used to replenish the aerosol generating matrix for the atomizing core 33.
[0092] In the atomizing component 100 of this application embodiment, a connector 3133 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 313. The connector 3133 is used to connect the liquid storage component 50, and the liquid storage component 50 stores an aerosol generating matrix. Thus, after the aerosol generating matrix in the atomizing cartridge 30 is depleted, the liquid storage component 50 can replenish the atomizing core 33 with an aerosol generating matrix. Compared with related technologies, the replacement frequency of the atomizing cartridge 30 is lower, thereby improving the user experience.
[0093] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 100 further includes a housing 10 for accommodating at least a portion of the atomizing cartridge 30. It should be noted that the housing 10 is a structure in the atomizing assembly 100 capable of accommodating and protecting components other than the housing 10. Components other than the housing 10, as used herein, include, but are not limited to, the atomizing cartridge 30 and the liquid reservoir 50. The materials of the housing 10 include, but are not limited to, plastics, aluminum alloys, copper, iron, steel, and carbon fiber composites. In one example, the housing 10 may be made of plastic, which makes the housing 10 lighter and facilitates the reduction of the aerosol generating device 1000's portability. In another example, the housing 10 may be made of a high-temperature resistant material, which prevents the housing 10 from being damaged by heat (e.g., deformation). High-temperature resistant materials include, but are not limited to, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), high-melting-point metals, and high-temperature ceramics.
[0094] At least a portion of the atomizing cartridge 30 is housed within the housing 10. This reduces the space occupied by both the cartridge 30 and the housing 10, facilitating miniaturization of the atomizing assembly 100. Furthermore, the housing 10 protects and decorates the cartridge 30, reducing its susceptibility to damage, extending its lifespan, and preventing users from directly viewing its internal structure, thus enhancing the overall appearance of the atomizing assembly 100. Additionally, the cartridge 30 is detachably connected to the housing 10, allowing for easy removal for repair or replacement. Compared to a non-detachable cartridge, other components of the atomizing assembly 100 (such as the housing 10) can be reused, reducing vaping costs and improving the user experience.
[0095] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a suction member 13 for the user to inhale the aerosol. Specifically, in some embodiments, the suction member 13 can communicate with the atomizing chamber 311. When the user inhales through the suction member 13, the heating element 333 can heat the aerosol generating matrix in the storage unit 331 to generate aerosol, and the generated aerosol can be inhaled by the user through the suction member 13.
[0096] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the housing 10 further includes a housing body 11, which covers the atomizing bullet 30, and the suction member 13 is connected to the housing body 11. Specifically, in some embodiments, the housing body 11 and the suction member 13 can be an integral structure, that is, the housing body 11 and the suction member 13 are a single integral structure manufactured by integral molding, thereby improving the bonding strength between the housing body 11 and the suction member 13 and reducing the possibility of the suction member 13 falling off the housing body 11 during the use of the atomizing component 100. In other embodiments, the housing body 11 and the suction member 13 are separate structures, that is, the housing body 11 and the suction member 13 are two different structures. The housing body 11 and the suction member 13 can be connected together by a detachable connection method or a non-detachable connection method. 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, adhesive or welding.
[0097] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the main body 31 is also provided with a suction channel 314, one end of which is connected to the atomizing chamber 311, and the other end of which is connected to the suction member 13. The suction member 13 can draw aerosol from the atomizing chamber 311 through the suction channel 314. The suction channel 314 is provided with an air guide tube 393 and a liquid-absorbing cotton 395, the air guide tube 393 is arranged around the suction channel 314, and the liquid-absorbing cotton 395 is connected to the air guide tube 393.
[0098] Specifically, in some embodiments, when a user inhales through the suction member 13, the aerosol generated in the atomizing chamber 311 can flow to the suction member 13 through the suction channel 314 for inhalation by the user. The absorbent cotton 395 absorbs the liquid (hereinafter referred to as condensate) formed by the condensation of the aerosol in the suction channel 314, preventing the condensate from being inhaled by the user, thereby improving the user's inhalation experience. The air guide tube 393 provides support for the absorbent cotton 395, reducing the possibility of deformation of the absorbent cotton 395 causing blockage of the suction channel 314, thus ensuring the normal operation of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0099] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a sealing silicone 397 is provided between the suction member 13 and the main body 31. The sealing silicone 397 is used to seal the gap between the suction member 13 and the main body 31, thereby preventing the aerosol in the suction channel 314 from leaking through the gap between the suction member 13 and the main body 31, thus ensuring the amount of aerosol inhaled by the user and improving the suction taste.
[0100] Please refer to Figure 2(a) and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the main body 31 includes a first end 315 and a second end 316 opposite to each other. The first end 315 is closer to the suction member 13 than the second end 316. The mounting cavity 313 is recessed from the first end 315 toward the second end 316. The opening 51 of the liquid storage member 50 faces the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313.
[0101] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the liquid reservoir 50 is housed in the mounting cavity 313, the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 faces the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313. That is, the liquid reservoir 50 is installed in the mounting cavity 313 in an inverted manner. As a result, the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid reservoir 50 can flow out under the action of gravity to replenish the aerosol generating matrix in the storage unit 331. Compared with the liquid reservoir 50 being installed in the mounting cavity 313 in an upright manner (the opening 51 of the liquid reservoir 50 is opposite to the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313), when replenishing the aerosol generating matrix in the storage unit 331, it is not necessary to invert the atomizing component 100 to replenish the aerosol generating matrix in the storage unit 331. The liquid replenishment operation is simpler and the user experience is improved.
[0102] It should be noted that the atomizing component 100 can be upright when it is placed on a supporting surface (such as a table or the ground) and its length direction (parallel to the length direction X of the atomizing bullet 30) is parallel to the direction of gravity, with the suction member 13 facing away from the supporting surface; the atomizing component 100 can be inverted when it is placed on a supporting surface and its length direction is parallel to the direction of gravity, with the suction member 13 facing the supporting surface. Specifically, when the atomizing component 100 is upright and the liquid storage component 50 is installed in the mounting cavity 313 in an inverted manner, the opening 51 of the liquid storage component 50 faces the same direction as gravity; when the atomizing component 100 is upright and the liquid storage component 50 is installed in the mounting cavity 313 in an upright manner, the opening 51 of the liquid storage component 50 faces the opposite direction to gravity.
[0103] For example, during the use of the atomizing component 100, the atomizing component 100 is generally in an upright position. At this time, the aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage component 50 can flow out naturally under the action of gravity to replenish the aerosol generating matrix to the storage component 331. This eliminates the need for the user to perform an inverted operation, thus improving the user experience.
[0104] Please continue to refer to Figure 2(a) and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a light-transmitting area 111, which is used to allow light to enter and exit the mounting cavity 313. When part of the liquid storage component 50 is disposed in the mounting cavity 313, another part of the liquid storage component 50 is visible through the light-transmitting area 111. Specifically, the light-transmitting area 111 may be provided on the housing body 11.
[0105] The light-transmitting area 111 is a structure on the housing 10 that allows light to enter and exit the mounting cavity 313. The number of light-transmitting areas 111 includes at least one. The portion of the liquid reservoir 50 not contained within the mounting cavity 313 is visible through the light-transmitting area 111 on the housing 10, thereby facilitating user observation of the remaining aerosol-generating matrix in the liquid reservoir 50 and meeting user needs. It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the liquid reservoir 50 may be made of a light-transmitting material.
[0106] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting area 111 is a light-transmitting solid area. That is, the light-transmitting area 111 can be made of a light-transmitting material, so that the user can see the liquid reservoir 50 through the light-transmitting area 111, thereby enabling the user to observe the remaining amount of the aerosol generation matrix in the liquid reservoir 50. In addition, the fact that the light-transmitting area 111 is a light-transmitting solid area can also prevent external water or dust from entering the mounting cavity 313 through the light-transmitting area 111 and causing contamination of the mounting cavity 313. The light-transmitting area 111 can be made of light-transmitting plastics such as PMMA (acrylic), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and PS (polystyrene); the part of the shell body 11 other than the light-transmitting area 111 (hereinafter referred to as the non-light-transmitting area 111) can be made of opaque plastics such as ABS plastic and PE (polyethylene).
[0107] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 can be an integral structure, that is, the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 can be integrally molded to form a single structure, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 and preventing the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 from separating during use of the aerosol generating device 1000. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 can be a separate structure, that is, the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 are two different structures, and the light-transmitting area 111 and the non-light-transmitting area 111 can be combined by a detachable connection method or a non-detachable connection method. Detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, bolt connections or snap-fit connections; non-detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, adhesive or welding.
[0108] In other embodiments, the light-transmitting area 111 is a light-transmitting perforated area. That is, the shell body 11 is provided with a through hole, which can be formed into a light-transmitting area 111, so that the user can easily observe the remaining amount of aerosol generation matrix in the liquid storage component 50, thus meeting the user's usage needs.
[0109] In some embodiments, the atomizing bomb 30 further includes a sealing element 35, which is disposed between the liquid reservoir 50 and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313. The sealing element 35 is used to seal the gap between the liquid reservoir 50 and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the material of the sealing element 35 includes, but is not limited to, rubber and silicone.
[0110] The sealing element 35 prevents the aerosol generation matrix in the liquid storage component 50 from leaking into the mounting cavity 313 through the gap between the liquid storage component 50 and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting cavity 313, thereby reducing the possibility of oil leakage of the atomizing component 100 and improving the user experience.
[0111] The aerosol generating device 1000 according to this application includes an electronic control component 200 and an atomizing component 100 according to any of the above embodiments, wherein the atomizing component 100 and the electronic control component 200 are detachably connected. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the electronic control component 200 and the atomizing component 100, improving the user experience.
[0112] Specifically, in some embodiments, the electronic control component 200 includes a housing 210, which can be detachably connected to the housing 10 of the atomizing component 100 to achieve a detachable connection between the electronic control component 200 and the atomizing component 100. The detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, magnetic connection, snap-fit connection, and bolt connection. For example, when a magnetic connection is used between the housing 210 and the housing 10, the housing 210 may be provided with a first magnetic element, and the housing 10 may be provided with a second magnetic element. The first and second magnetic elements cooperate to achieve a magnetic connection between the housing 210 and the housing 10.
[0113] Understandably, please combine Figure 1 When the electronic control component 200 and the atomizing component 100 are connected, the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 and the outer peripheral wall of the housing 10 are smoothly connected, thereby reducing visual defects of the aerosol generating device 1000 and improving the aesthetics of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0114] In some embodiments, the housing 210 may be provided with an installation space 2108, and when the electronic control component 200 is connected to the atomizing component 100, the knob 373 may be located within the installation space 2108. The installation space 2108 reduces the space occupied by the knob 373 and the electronic control component 200, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0115] Please see Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the electronic control assembly 200 further includes a controller 230, which is disposed within the housing 210 and electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 100.
[0116] The controller 230 is a structure in the aerosol generating device 1000 used to control the operation of the atomizing component 100. In some embodiments of this application, the electronic control component 200 further includes a power supply unit 293, which provides electrical energy to the controller 230 and the atomizing component 100. The controller 230 includes a circuit board, which is electrically connected to the power supply unit 293. Exemplarily, when the aerosol generating device 1000 is being aspirated, the controller 230 can control the power supply unit 293 to output electrical energy to the atomizing component 100. In this case, the atomizing core 33 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol. When the aerosol generating device 1000 is not being aspirated, the controller 230 can control the power supply unit 293 to stop supplying electrical energy to the atomizing component 100. In this case, the atomizing core 33 will not heat the aerosol generating matrix. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the power supply unit 293 can be a dry cell battery or a rechargeable battery, including but not limited to lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries.
[0117] Please combine Figure 3 In some embodiments, the electronic control component 200 is provided with an airflow channel 2101 communicating with the outside air (e.g., Figure 7 As shown by the dashed arrow in the diagram, the airflow channel 2101 is connected to the atomizing chamber 311 and is used to allow outside air to flow into the atomizing chamber 311. The airflow channel 2101 is spaced apart from the controller 230.
[0118] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the user draws air through the suction member 13, outside air can flow into the atomization chamber 311 through the airflow channel 2101, so that the aerosol generating matrix in the storage member 331 can generate aerosol when heated. The airflow channel 2101 is spaced apart from the controller 230, that is, the airflow channel 2101 avoids the circuit board, thereby preventing condensation and corrosion of the aerosol on the circuit board. This reduces or even eliminates the need for coating on the circuit board, thereby lowering production costs, reducing the possibility of circuit board damage, and improving the stability and reliability of the controller 230.
[0119] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the outer casing 210 is provided with a spaced first cavity 2102 and a second cavity 2103. The first cavity 2102 is used to accommodate the atomizing bullet 30, and the second cavity 2103 includes a first sub-cavity 2104 and a second sub-cavity 2105. The first sub-cavity 2104 is used to accommodate the controller 230. The outer casing 210 is also provided with a first perforation 2106 and a second perforation 2107. The first perforation 2106 communicates with the outside air and is sequentially connected to the second sub-cavity 2105 and the second perforation 2107 to jointly form an airflow channel 2101. The first cavity 2102 can accommodate the atomizing bullet 30, thereby reducing the space occupied by the atomizing bullet 30 and the electronic control component 200, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0120] Furthermore, please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the main body 31 is provided with an air inlet 312, which communicates with the atomizing chamber 311. When the electronic control component 200 and the atomizing component 100 are connected, the air inlet 312 communicates with the airflow channel 2101, thereby allowing outside air to flow into the atomizing chamber 311 sequentially through the airflow channel 2101 and the air inlet 312, thus ensuring that the aerosol generating matrix in the storage component 331 can generate aerosol when heated.
[0121] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the electronic control assembly 200 also includes a sealing element 211. The sealing element 211 surrounds the second perforation 2107 and is connected to the bottom wall 3131 of the first cavity 2102. When the electronic control assembly 200 and the atomizing assembly 100 are connected, the sealing element 211 is used to seal the gap between the bottom wall 3131 of the first cavity 2102 and the main body 31. Thus, the sealing element 211 can prevent leakage of outside air through the gap between the bottom wall 3131 of the first cavity 2102 and the main body 31 during the flow of outside air from the second perforation 2107 to the air inlet 312, thereby reducing the amount of outside air flowing into the atomizing cavity 311. This ensures the amount of outside air flowing into the atomizing cavity 311, guarantees the generation of aerosol, and improves the user's inhalation experience.
[0122] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 1000 further includes an airflow detection component 250, which is electrically connected to the controller 230. The airflow detection component 250 is used to detect whether the aerosol generating device 1000 is being drawn in based on the air pressure in the airflow channel 2101.
[0123] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the user draws air through the suction device 13, the air pressure in the airflow channel 2101 gradually decreases compared to the external air pressure, forming a negative pressure. The airflow detection component 250 detects the pressure change in the airflow channel 2101, thereby determining that the aerosol generating device 1000 is in a suction state. The controller 230 then controls the atomizing component 100 to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol, which is then inhaled by the user through the suction device 13. When the user stops drawing air, outside air enters the airflow channel 2101 through the first perforation 2106, making the air pressure in the airflow channel 2101 the same as the external air pressure. The airflow detection component 250 detects the pressure change in the airflow channel 2101 returning to a positive pressure, thereby determining that the aerosol generating device 1000 is not in a suction state. The controller 230 then controls the atomizing component 100 to stop heating the aerosol generating matrix. Therefore, the aerosol generator 1000 can achieve the effect of instant extraction and immediate stop, improving the user experience.
[0124] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the airflow detection component 250 may include a microphone, which is connected to the airflow channel 2101 and used to detect changes in air pressure within the airflow channel 2101. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the microphone may be a pressure sensor, etc.
[0125] In some embodiments, the electronic control assembly 200 further includes a separator 270 disposed in the second cavity 2103 and used to divide the second cavity 2103 into a first sub-cavity 2104 and a second sub-cavity 2105. The separator 270 includes a first side and a second side facing away from each other. The first side of the separator 270 is opposite to the first sub-cavity 2104. The separator 270 is provided with a mounting groove 2701, which is recessed from the second side of the separator 270 toward the first sub-cavity 2104. At least a portion of the airflow detection assembly 250 is disposed in the mounting groove 2701.
[0126] Specifically, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the microphone is disposed within the mounting groove 2701, and the mounting groove 2701 communicates with the airflow channel 2101. Thus, the microphone can detect the air pressure within the airflow channel 2101 to determine whether the aerosol generating device 1000 is being drawn in. The mounting groove 2701 is recessed from the second side of the separator 270 toward the first sub-cavity 2104, and at least a portion of the airflow detection component 250 is disposed within the mounting groove 2701. That is, the microphone can protrude toward the second sub-cavity 2105, thereby reducing or even preventing the possibility of condensate (such as the liquid formed after aerosol condensation) flowing into the mounting groove 2701 and contacting the microphone, ensuring that the microphone can accurately detect the air pressure within the airflow channel 2101, and guaranteeing the normal operation of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0127] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a sealing gasket is provided between the microphone and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting groove 2701. The sealing gasket is used to seal the gap between the microphone and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting groove 2701, preventing the airflow channel 2101 from communicating with the outside through the gap between the microphone and the bottom wall 3131 of the mounting groove 2701. This allows the microphone to accurately detect the air pressure in the airflow channel 2101, ensuring the normal operation of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0128] In related technologies, the oil bottle includes a bottle body and a nozzle stopper. When the oil bottle needs to be loaded into the aerosol generating device 1000, the nozzle stopper needs to be removed. However, due to the shape and size of the nozzle stopper, it is difficult for the user to apply force to it. Without the aid of external tools, the nozzle stopper is difficult to remove from the bottle body, affecting the user experience. Please refer to Figure 2(a) and... Figure 7 In some embodiments of this application, the electronic control component 200 includes a housing 210, on which a mating part 291 is provided for engaging with the nozzle stopper of the oil bottle. Thus, during the replacement of the reservoir 50 (oil bottle), the user can engage the nozzle stopper of the oil bottle with the mating part 291, allowing the user to apply force to remove the nozzle stopper without the need for additional tools, thereby improving the user experience.
[0129] In some embodiments of this application, the mating part 291 may be disposed at the bottom of the housing 210 (the end of the housing 210 away from the suction member 13). Thus, during the user's use of the aerosol generating device 1000, the user is less likely to see the mating part 291, thereby reducing visual defects on the housing 210 and improving the appearance of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0130] In some embodiments, the housing 210 is provided with a threaded hole, and the mating part 291 includes a threaded hole. For example, during the replacement of the reservoir 50 (oil bottle), the user can screw the nozzle cap into the threaded hole and then pull it out, simplifying the operation and improving the user experience. Furthermore, compared to using tools (such as scissors), the mating part 291 does not have a sharp object, thereby reducing the potential risk of injury to the user.
[0131] In other embodiments, the housing 210 is provided with a nut, and the mating part 291 includes a threaded hole for the nut. For example, during the replacement of the reservoir 50 (oil bottle), the user can easily screw the nozzle plug into the threaded hole of the nut and then pull it out, simplifying the operation and improving the user experience. Furthermore, compared to using tools (such as scissors), the mating part 291 does not contain any sharp parts, thereby reducing the potential risk of injury to the user.
[0132] In some embodiments, the nut and the housing 210 can be joined together by a detachable or non-detachable connection. Detachable connections include, but are not limited to, bolted connections or snap-fit connections; non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, adhesive or welding.
[0133] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the outer casing 210 may be provided with a clearance space, which may be recessed from the outer wall of the outer casing 210 toward the interior of the outer casing 210, and the nut is disposed within the clearance space. The clearance space provides positioning for the installation of the nut, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the nut; on the other hand, it reduces the space occupied by the nut, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the aerosol generating device 1000.
[0134] Understandably, please combine Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the threaded hole can be connected to the first through hole 2106, that is, outside air can flow into the airflow channel 2101 through the threaded hole and the first through hole 2106.
[0135] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. Furthermore, other implementation methods can be derived from the above embodiments, allowing for structural and logical substitutions and changes without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
[0136] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
