Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and more specifically, to an inhalable atomizing device and an oil cup assembly for use in the atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes, also known as virtual cigarettes or e-cigarettes, offer a flavor similar to, and even more variety than, traditional cigarettes. They are primarily used for smoking cessation and as a substitute for cigarettes. An electronic cigarette consists of a cartridge, atomizer, and battery. To extend the inhalation time, large-volume reservoirs are often used to increase the e-liquid storage capacity. However, existing e-cigarettes with large reservoirs not only have low e-liquid utilization rates but also tend to burn, affecting the flavor. As e-cigarettes become increasingly popular, extending usage time without compromising flavor is a key challenge. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an atomizing device and an oil cup assembly, which can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] One aspect of this application provides an atomizing device, including an oil cup, a support, an atomizing core assembly, a liquid storage cotton, and an oil dispensing element. The oil cup has a liquid storage chamber and a top. The support is located on the side of the oil cup away from the top and is detachably connected to the oil cup; the support has a receiving cavity. The atomizing core assembly and the liquid storage cotton are disposed within the receiving cavity of the support, and the atomizing core assembly is in contact with the liquid storage cotton. The oil dispensing element is located on the side of the oil cup away from the top, and includes a lower oil cavity, a first hole, and a second hole. The lower oil cavity communicates with the liquid storage chamber. The first hole and the second hole respectively penetrate the cavity wall of the lower oil cavity, and the first hole is located on the side of the second hole away from the top of the oil cup. The first hole and the second hole respectively communicate with the receiving cavity. The first hole is suitable for liquid flow. When a negative pressure is formed in the liquid storage chamber, the second hole replenishes air into the liquid storage chamber, thereby achieving air balance between the liquid storage chamber and the receiving cavity.

[0005] The aforementioned atomizing device, by adding an additional oil cup to the support, increases the overall liquid storage capacity of the atomizing device, thereby improving vaping time. It also helps avoid the low liquid (e-liquid) utilization rate that can occur with directly using a large-volume reservoir. Direct contact between the atomizer coil assembly and the reservoir avoids the risk of burnt coils due to insufficient saturation during the initial use of a separate coil design, thus ensuring a better vaping experience. Furthermore, the design of the oil-dispensing element allows the liquid in the reservoir to be absorbed by the reservoir cotton when the liquid content decreases due to heating of the atomizer coil assembly. When negative pressure is created in the reservoir, air is introduced through the second hole to achieve air balance between the reservoir and the reservoir, ultimately maintaining a stable liquid level in the reservoir cotton, which also contributes to a better vaping experience. Furthermore, the oil cup and the stand are detachably connected, allowing for individual replacement of the oil cup and timely replenishment of e-liquid.

[0006] Based on the above aspects, in some possible implementations, the first hole is in direct contact with the liquid storage cotton, which is beneficial for the liquid to be drawn out from the first hole through the adsorption capacity of the liquid storage cotton, thereby making it easier for the liquid in the liquid storage cavity to smoothly enter the liquid storage cotton, and at the same time, it is beneficial for the residual liquid in the liquid storage cavity to be transferred to the liquid storage cotton for full utilization.

[0007] Based on the above aspects, in some possible implementations, the oil cup is a transparent oil cup, or the oil cup includes a transparent area, and the transparent area is at least provided corresponding to the liquid storage cavity. This facilitates timely observation of the remaining liquid in the liquid storage cavity and timely replacement and replenishment of liquid to avoid insufficient liquid storage in the subsequent liquid storage cotton, which may lead to dry burning. This, in turn, helps to extend the service life and improve the user experience (e.g., taste).

[0008] Based on the above aspects, in some possible embodiments, the side of the oiling element away from the top of the oil cup includes a positioning post, the oiling cavity extends from the surface of the oiling element toward the liquid storage cavity to the positioning post, the first hole and the second hole are provided on the positioning post, and the side of the bracket toward the top of the oil cup is also provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning post for cooperating with the positioning post to facilitate precise installation.

[0009] Based on the above, in some possible embodiments, the first hole is located on the end face of the positioning post opposite to the top of the oil cup, and the second hole is located on the side wall of the positioning post. The design of the first hole facilitates the rapid and accurate addition of liquid to the reservoir cotton and helps prevent spilled liquid from contaminating other components.

[0010] Based on the above, in some possible implementations, there are multiple positioning posts, each of which is provided with a corresponding lower oil chamber, the first hole, and the second hole. This design facilitates the rapid introduction of liquid from the storage chamber into the storage cotton.

[0011] Based on the above aspects, in some possible implementations, the number of the first holes is multiple, and / or the number of the second holes is multiple, which is beneficial for quickly introducing the liquid in the storage chamber into the storage cotton.

[0012] Based on the above aspects, in some possible embodiments, the liquid reservoir surrounds the atomizing core assembly, and the outer peripheral wall of the atomizing core assembly is in contact with the liquid reservoir, with multiple positioning posts spaced apart. This design facilitates the rapid introduction of liquid from the reservoir chamber into various areas of the liquid reservoir and ensures sufficient contact between the liquid in the liquid reservoir and the atomizing core assembly, reducing the risk of localized clogging in the atomizing core assembly.

[0013] Based on the above aspects, in some possible embodiments, the atomizing device further includes an upper housing and a lower housing, the oil cup and the oil supply element are disposed in the upper housing, the bracket is disposed in the lower housing, and the upper housing and the lower housing are detachably connected, thereby facilitating the replacement of the oil cup.

[0014] Another aspect of this application provides an oil cup assembly, including an oil cup and an oil drain assembly. The oil cup has a reservoir and a top. The oil drain assembly is disposed on the side of the oil cup away from the top, and the oil drain assembly includes a lower oil cavity, a first hole, and a second hole. The lower oil cavity communicates with the reservoir, and the first hole and the second hole respectively penetrate the cavity wall of the lower oil cavity, with the first hole located on the side of the second hole away from the top of the oil cup.

[0015] The aforementioned oil cup assembly can be used as a replaceable component in the atomizing device to increase the liquid storage capacity of the atomizing device. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0023] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Some embodiments of this application are described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides an atomizing device A according to one embodiment. The atomizing device A includes an oil cup 10, a support 20, an atomizing core assembly 30, a liquid storage cotton 40, and an oil dispensing element 50.

[0027] The oil cup 10 has a reservoir 11 and a top 10a. The reservoir 11 is used to store volatile liquids, such as e-liquid. The shape of the oil cup 10 is not limited and can be selected according to specific needs.

[0028] The bracket 20 is detachably mounted on the side of the oil cup 10 away from the top 10a. The bracket 20 has a storage cavity 20a. The atomizer core assembly 30 and the liquid storage cotton 40 are stored in the storage cavity 20a of the bracket 20, and the atomizer core assembly 30 and the liquid storage cotton 40 are in direct contact.

[0029] The oil drain element 50 is installed on the side of the oil cup 10 away from the top end 10a. In this embodiment, the oil cup 10 and the bracket 20 are detachably connected by the oil drain element 50.

[0030] The oil-feeding element 50 includes an oil-feeding chamber 51, a first hole 53, and a second hole 55. The oil-feeding chamber 51 connects to the liquid storage chamber 11, and the first hole 53 and the second hole 55 penetrate the wall of the oil-feeding chamber 51. The first hole 53 is located on the side of the second hole 55 away from the top 10a of the oil cup 10, and both the first hole 53 and the second hole 55 connect to the receiving chamber 20a. Liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 enters the receiving chamber 20a through the first hole 53 to be absorbed by the liquid storage cotton 40. When a negative pressure is formed in the liquid storage chamber 11, air is supplied to the liquid storage chamber 11 through the second hole 55 to achieve gas balance between the liquid storage chamber 11 and the receiving chamber 20a.

[0031] The aforementioned atomizing device A, by adding an oil cup 10 on the support 20, can increase the overall liquid storage capacity of the atomizing device A, which is conducive to increasing the vaping time. At the same time, it helps to avoid the low utilization rate of liquid (such as e-liquid) caused by directly using a large volume of liquid storage cotton. The direct contact between the atomizing coil assembly 30 and the liquid storage cotton 40 avoids the risk of burnt coils caused by insufficient saturation of the coil body in the initial use when using a coil-oil separation design, thus helping to ensure the vaping experience. Furthermore, the design of the oil-feeding element 50 in the aforementioned atomizing device A allows for the following: when the liquid content in the reservoir cotton 40 decreases due to heating of the atomizing core assembly 30, the liquid in the reservoir chamber 11 enters the receiving chamber 20a through the first hole 53 and is absorbed by the reservoir cotton 40. When a negative pressure is formed in the reservoir chamber 11, air is supplied to the reservoir chamber 11 through the second hole 55, thereby achieving air balance between the reservoir chamber 11 and the receiving chamber 20a. Ultimately, this keeps the liquid level in the reservoir cotton 40 stable, which also helps to ensure a good vaping experience. Moreover, the oil cup 10 is detachably connected to the bracket 20, allowing for individual replacement of the oil cup 10 and timely replenishment of e-liquid.

[0032] Specifically, in some implementation methods, such as Figure 1 As shown, the oil cup 10 also has a channel 13 for a flue to pass through. The channel 13 passes through the top end 10a and the bottom end 10b opposite to the top end 10a of the oil cup 10, and is correspondingly positioned to and connected to the atomizer core assembly 30. The liquid storage chamber 11 may be arranged around the channel 13, but is not limited to the above arrangement. The side of the liquid storage chamber 11 opposite to the top end 10a of the oil cup 10 may have a liquid outlet (not shown in the figure).

[0033] In some embodiments, the oil cup 10 can be a transparent oil cup, which is conducive to timely observation of the remaining liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11, so as to replace and replenish the liquid in time to avoid insufficient liquid storage in the subsequent liquid storage cotton 40, resulting in dry burning and scorching of the core. This is conducive to extending the service life of the atomizing device A and improving the user experience (e.g., taste).

[0034] In some embodiments, the oil cup 10 may be partially transparent, specifically, the oil cup 10 includes a transparent area, and the transparent area is provided at least corresponding to the liquid storage cavity 11, which is conducive to timely observation of the remaining liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11.

[0035] In some embodiments, the atomizing core assembly 30 is inserted into the liquid storage cotton 40 so that the outer peripheral wall of the atomizing core assembly 30 is in full contact with the liquid storage cotton 40, that is, the liquid storage cotton 40 surrounds the atomizing core assembly 30, thereby helping to reduce the risk of localized clogging of the atomizing core assembly 30.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side of the oil supply element 50 opposite to the top end 10a of the oil cup 10 may include a positioning post 50a. (Combined) Figure 1 As shown, the lower oil chamber 51 extends from the surface of the lower oil element 50 toward the liquid storage chamber 11 to the positioning post 50a, and the first hole 53 and the second hole 55 are respectively provided on the positioning post 50a. Correspondingly, the bracket 20 may be provided with a positioning groove 21 on the side facing the top 10a of the oil cup 10 for positioning and fitting during assembly to facilitate installation. The positioning groove 21 is connected to the receiving cavity 20a.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first hole 53 may be located on the end face 50a1 of the positioning post 50a away from the top 10a of the oil cup 10, and the second hole 55 may be located on the side wall 50a3 of the positioning post 50a. In this case, there may be one or more first holes 53, and there may also be one or more second holes 55. Preferably, when there are multiple second holes 55, they are located at the same height. In the above design, the first hole 53 located on the end face 50a1 facilitates the rapid and accurate addition of liquid to the liquid storage cotton 40, and helps to prevent the outflowing liquid from contaminating other components.

[0038] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first hole 53 is in direct contact with the liquid storage cotton 40, which facilitates the absorption of liquid from the first hole 53 by the adsorption capacity of the liquid storage cotton 40. This makes it easier for the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 to smoothly enter the liquid storage cotton 40, and at the same time, it is beneficial to transfer all the residual liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 to the liquid storage cotton 40 for full utilization.

[0039] The number of positioning posts 50a can be multiple. In this case, each positioning post 50a is provided with a lower oil cavity 51, a first hole 53 and a second hole 55. Preferably, multiple positioning posts 50a can be distributed around the channel 13 at intervals, which is beneficial to quickly disperse the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 to each area of ​​the liquid storage cotton 40, thereby helping to reduce the risk of core clogging.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first hole 53 can also be provided on the side wall 50a3 of the positioning post 50a, as long as the first hole 53 is located on the side of the second hole 55 away from the top 10a of the oil cup 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, the oil supply element 50 is detachably connected to the oil cup 10. For example... Figure 1 As shown, part of the oil drain element 50 can be embedded in the oil cup 10. Furthermore, a sealing element (not shown) can be provided between the oil drain element 50 and the oil cup 10 to improve the sealing performance, thereby helping to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 from leaking out from places other than the first hole 53.

[0042] Furthermore, the side of the bracket 20 facing the top 10a of the oil cup 10 may also have a seal (not shown in the figure). In this case, the positioning groove 21 is opened on the seal, thereby improving the sealing performance when the oil cup 10 with the oil drain element 50 is installed on the bracket 20, which helps to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage cotton 40 and the liquid flowing out from the first hole 53 from leaking out.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizing device B may further include an upper housing 60 and a lower housing 70. The oil cup 10 and the oil supply element 50 are disposed within the upper housing 60, while the support 20, the atomizing core assembly 30, and the liquid storage cotton 40 are housed within the lower housing 70. The upper housing 60 and the lower housing 70 are detachably connected.

[0044] Specifically, the upper housing 60 may also have an air intake 61 and a flue 63. The air intake 61 is located on the top 10a of the oil cup 10, and the flue 63 passes through the channel 13, with one end of the flue 63 connected to the air intake 61 and the other end connected to the atomizing core assembly 30. In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the oil cup 10 with the oil-feeding element 50 is detachably installed on the upper housing 60. When the oil cup 10 with the oil-feeding element 50 is removed from the atomizing device, the upper housing 60 and the lower housing 60 with the atomizing core assembly 30 are reassembled. The flue 63 of the upper housing 60 is still connected to the atomizing core assembly 30 without affecting the normal use of the atomizing device.

[0045] Understandably, in some embodiments, the flue and air intake can also be formed directly on the oil cup 10, thus omitting the upper housing 60.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of this application should not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
