Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heated non-combustible technology, and more specifically, to an aerosol generating device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol generating devices are small electronic devices that generate aerosols by heating an aerosol generating matrix using a non-combustible heating method. An aerosol generating device includes a battery and a heating element. The battery powers the heating element, enabling it to generate heat to heat the aerosol generating matrix. However, the significant size difference between the heating element and the battery results in a less compact fit between them, leading to a relatively large aerosol generating device. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an aerosol generating apparatus, and is at least used to improve the compactness of the aerosol apparatus.

[0004] The aerosol generating apparatus of this application includes a heating component and a battery. The heating component has a hollow channel, at least a portion of which is used to load the aerosol generating matrix. The battery is arranged at least partially around the heating component.

[0005] In the aerosol generating apparatus of this application embodiment, the battery is arranged at least partially around the heating component, making the battery and heating component more compact in spatial layout. This is beneficial to improving the compactness of the fit between the heating component and the battery, thereby making the aerosol generating apparatus smaller in size.

[0006] In some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a heating element and a gas guide, the heating element having a loading hole, the gas guide having a gas passage communicating with the loading hole, the loading hole being used to load the aerosol generating matrix, the hollow channel including the loading hole and the gas passage, and the battery being disposed at least partially around the heating element and / or the gas guide.

[0007] In this way, the heating element can heat the aerosol generation matrix, and the air passage of the air guide can introduce air into the loading hole, so that the aerosol generation matrix is ​​heated smoothly. The battery is arranged at least partially around the heating element and / or the air guide, which can improve the compactness of the fit between the heating component and the battery.

[0008] In some embodiments, the battery has a through hole through which the heating element and / or the venting element passes. This allows the heating element and / or the venting element to be easily assembled with the battery, resulting in a more compact structure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the battery is disposed at least partially around the heating element, and the heating assembly includes a heat insulation element disposed between the battery and the heating element, the heat insulation element surrounding the heating element.

[0010] In this way, the heat insulation component can reduce the heat transfer from the heating component to the battery, which not only improves the safety of battery use, but also improves the heating efficiency of the aerosol generation matrix.

[0011] In some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a bracket with an installation space, in which the heating element, the air guide element, and the heat insulation element are all disposed.

[0012] In this way, the support can restrict the position of the heating element, the air guiding element and the heat insulation element, making the structure of the aerosol generation device more stable.

[0013] In some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a first connector disposed in the installation space, the first connector connecting the heating element and the air guide, the first connector having a first connection hole communicating with the loading hole and the air passage.

[0014] Thus, since the air guide and the heating element have different structures, the heating element and the air guide can be connected through the first connector, so that the loading hole and the air passage can be effectively connected.

[0015] In some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a second connector disposed in the installation space, the second connector being disposed at one end of the heating element away from the air guide, the second connector connecting the heating element and the bracket, and the second connector having a second connection hole communicating with the air passage.

[0016] Thus, the second connector can make the position of the heating element more stable, which is beneficial to improving the operational stability of the aerosol generating device.

[0017] In some embodiments, the battery is in the form of a circumferentially continuous cylindrical shape, or the battery includes a plurality of battery sections arranged at circumferential intervals along the heating assembly.

[0018] In this way, the battery can be positioned around the heating element.

[0019] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device includes a housing in which both the heating element and the battery are housed. Thus, the housing protects the heating element and battery, reduces impact on them, and extends the lifespan of the aerosol generating device.

[0020] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device includes an end cap and a cover, the end cap and the cover being disposed at opposite ends of the housing, the cover being movable relative to the housing to open or cover an opening at one end of the hollow channel.

[0021] Thus, when the cover opens the hollow channel, the aerosol generating matrix can be loaded into the hollow channel through the opening. When the cover covers the hollow channel, it can prevent the aerosol generating matrix from falling out of the hollow channel, allowing the aerosol generating matrix to be used smoothly.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 The aerosol generating device 100 is a structure capable of generating aerosols by applying resistance heating, electromagnetic heating, microwave heating, laser irradiation, infrared light irradiation, ultrasound, or mechanical vibration to the aerosol generating matrix 200. The aerosol generating matrix 200 is a plant flower, stem, or leaf product that has been treated and heated to produce aerosols. The aerosol generating matrix 200 can be in a fully solid, semi-solid, or liquid state.

[0040] When the aerosol generating matrix 200 is entirely solid, it can be prepared using processes such as rolling, slurry preparation, die casting, and extrusion. The aerosol generating matrix 200 can be a cylindrical structure similar to that of a cigarette, or it can be a sheet-like, strip-like, or block-like structure.

[0041] When the aerosol generating matrix 200 is not solid, the aerosol generating matrix 200 can be loaded by a solid carrier, and the solid carrier of the aerosol generating matrix 200 can be in the form of sheets, strips, tubes or capsules, etc.

[0042] Aerosol generating matrix 200 is heated and atomized to form an aerosol. The aerosol can be visible or invisible and may include vapor (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. Users can inhale the aerosol into their mouth, nasal cavity, or lungs through their mouth or nose. Aerosols inhaled into the user's respiratory system can be used for various purposes such as food, medicine, health care, and entertainment.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The aerosol generating apparatus 100 of this application includes a heating component 10 and a battery 20. The heating component 10 is provided with a hollow channel 11, at least a portion of which is used to load the aerosol generating matrix 200. The battery 20 is disposed at least partially around the heating component 10.

[0044] In the aerosol generating apparatus 100 of this application embodiment, the battery 20 is arranged to at least partially surround the heating component 10, making the battery 20 and the heating component 10 more compact in spatial layout. This is beneficial to improving the tightness of the fit between the heating component 10 and the battery 20, thereby making the aerosol generating apparatus 100 smaller in size.

[0045] Specifically, the heating component 10 can be a component that converts the electrical energy of the battery 20 into heat energy. The heating component 10 may include multiple components, or in other words, the heating component 10 is a combination of multiple components. The hollow channel 11 of the heating component 10 is used to load the aerosol generation matrix 200, or it may be used entirely to load the aerosol generation matrix 200.

[0046] It is understandable that when the hollow channel 11 is entirely used to load the aerosol generation matrix 200, the aerosol generation matrix 200 fills the hollow channel 11; when the hollow channel 11 is partially used to load the aerosol generation matrix 200, the aerosol generation matrix 200 fills a portion of the hollow channel 11.

[0047] The centerline of the hollow channel 11 can be a straight line or a curve; in other words, the hollow channel 11 can be a straight hollow channel 11 or a curved hollow channel 11. The battery 20 can be a primary battery or a secondary battery. The battery 20 can be a lithium battery, a nickel battery, or a similar battery. At least a portion of the battery 20 has a cylindrical structure, allowing it to at least partially surround the heating assembly 10.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heating assembly 10 includes a heating element 12 and a gas guide 13. The heating element 12 has a loading hole 121, and the gas guide 13 has a gas channel 131 communicating with the loading hole 121. The loading hole 121 is used to load the aerosol generation matrix 200. The hollow channel 11 includes the loading hole 121 and the gas channel 131. The battery 20 is disposed at least partially around the heating element 12 and / or the gas guide 13.

[0049] Thus, the heating element 12 can heat the aerosol generating matrix 200, and the air passage 131 of the air guide 13 can introduce air into the loading hole 121, so that the aerosol generating matrix 200 is heated smoothly. The battery 20 is arranged at least partially around the heating element 12 and / or the air guide 13, which can improve the tightness of the fit between the heating component 10 and the battery 20.

[0050] Specifically, the heating element 12 generates heat after being energized, thereby heating the aerosol generating matrix 200. The heating element 12 can be cylindrical in shape, and the hollow structure of the cylindrical heating element 12 forms a loading hole 121. When the aerosol generating matrix 200 is a solid matrix, the aerosol generating matrix 200 can be inserted into the loading hole 121.

[0051] The air guide 13 is a component used to introduce air into the hollow channel 11. The air passage 131 of the air guide 13 is connected to the atmosphere, so that during the suction process of the aerosol generating device 100, air can enter the air passage 131 through one end, flow into the loading hole 121, and finally flow out of the loading hole 121 carrying aerosol. The air guide 13 is located on one side of the heating element 12 along its length.

[0052] The battery 20 may at least partially surround the heating element 12, or at least partially surround the air guide 13, or at least partially surround both the heating element 12 and the air guide 13 simultaneously. For example... Figure 3 In the illustration, the battery 20 is arranged around both the heating element 12 and the air guide 13.

[0053] like Figures 6-8 As shown, in some embodiments, the gas guide 13 may be omitted, or the heating assembly 10 includes a heating element 12, which has a loading hole 121 for loading the aerosol generating matrix 200. The hollow channel 11 includes the loading hole 121, and the battery 20 is disposed at least partially around the heating element 12.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the battery 20 is provided with a through hole 21, through which the heating element 12 and / or the venting element 13 passes. In this way, the heating element 12 and / or the venting element 13 can be easily assembled with the battery 20, and the fit is relatively compact.

[0055] Specifically, the battery 20 is sleeved outside the heating element 12 and / or the air guide 13, and both ends of the heating element 12 and / or the air guide 13 in the length direction may protrude from the battery 20. In one example, the heating element 12 passes through the through hole 21; in another example, the air guide 13 passes through the through hole 21, and both the heating element 12 and the air guide 13 pass through the through hole 21.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the battery 20 is disposed at least partially around the heating element 12, and the heating assembly 10 includes a heat insulation element 14 disposed between the battery 20 and the heating element 12, the heat insulation element 14 being disposed around the heating element 12.

[0057] In this way, the heat insulation component 14 can reduce the heat transfer from the heating component 12 to the battery 20, which can not only improve the safety of the battery 20 but also improve the heating efficiency of the aerosol generation matrix 200.

[0058] Specifically, the heat insulation element 14 is cylindrical. For example, the heat insulation element 14 can be cylindrical, square, or other shapes. The heat insulation element 14 can be made of materials with low thermal conductivity, such as aerogel or asbestos, thereby effectively reducing the heat generated by the heating element 12 from dissipating to the surroundings.

[0059] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heating assembly 10 includes a bracket 15, which has an installation space 151, and the heating element 12, the air guide 13 and the heat insulation element 14 are all disposed in the installation space 151.

[0060] Thus, the bracket 15 can restrict the position of the heating element 12, the air guide 13 and the heat insulation element 14, and provide support for the heating element 12 and the air guide 13, making the structure of the aerosol generating device 100 more stable.

[0061] Specifically, the bracket 15 can be made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material, which gives the bracket 15 good heat resistance and insulation, reducing the risk of short circuit between the heating element 12 and the battery 20. The bracket 15 can be cylindrical, with the installation space 151 being orifice-shaped. The heating element 12 and the air guide 13 are arranged along the axial direction of the bracket 15, and the heating element 12 and the heat insulation element 14 are arranged along the radial direction of the bracket 15.

[0062] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heating assembly 10 includes a first connector 16 disposed in the mounting space 151, the first connector 16 connecting the heating element 12 and the air guide 13, and the first connector 16 having a first connection hole 161 communicating with the loading hole 121 and the air passage 131.

[0063] Thus, since the air guide 13 and the heating element 12 have different structures, the heating element 12 and the air guide 13 can be connected by the first connector 16, so that the loading hole 121 and the air passage 131 can be effectively connected.

[0064] Specifically, the first connecting member 16 can abut against the heating element 12 and the air guide 13 respectively. The first connecting member 16 can also be called a flange, which makes the connection between the heating element 12 and the air guide 13 more stable.

[0065] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heating assembly 10 includes a first seal 17 that seals the gap between the first connector 16 and the heating element 12. The first seal 17 may be made of a flexible material such as silicone. The first seal 17 prevents air leakage between the heating element 12 and the first connector 16, thereby allowing air to effectively enter the loading hole 121 to carry away the generated aerosol outside the heating element 12.

[0066] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heating assembly 10 includes a second connector 18 disposed in the mounting space 151. The second connector 18 is disposed at the end of the heating element 12 away from the air guide 13. The second connector 18 connects the heating element 12 and the bracket 15. The second connector 18 is provided with a second connection hole communicating with the air passage 131.

[0067] Thus, the second connector 18 can make the position of the heating element 12 more stable, which is beneficial to improving the operational stability of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0068] Specifically, the second connector 18 can be indirectly connected to the bracket 15. The second connector 18 can also be called a flange. The second connector 18 can restrict the position of the heating element 12, thereby improving the stability of the second heating element 12.

[0069] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heating assembly 10 includes a second seal 19, and a first seal 17 seals the gap between the second connector 18 and the heating element 12. The second seal 19 may be made of a flexible material such as silicone. The second seal 19 prevents air leakage between the heating element 12 and the second connector 18, thereby allowing air carrying aerosol to flow smoothly out of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0070] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the battery 20 is in the shape of a circumferentially continuous cylindrical shape, or the battery 20 includes a plurality of battery sections 22, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the heating assembly 10.

[0071] Thus, the battery 20 can be arranged around the heating element 10. Specifically, the battery 20 can be cylindrical or rectangular, etc. In order to make the battery 20 more compatible with the heating element 12, the shape of the battery 20 matches the shape of the heating element 12. For example, when the heating element 12 is cylindrical, the battery 20 is also cylindrical.

[0072] When the battery 20 includes multiple battery sections 22, the multiple battery sections 22 can be connected in series, with a gap between two adjacent battery sections 22. Similarly, the multiple battery sections 22 can be arranged in a cylindrical, square, or other shape.

[0073] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a housing 30, in which the heating component 10 and the battery 20 are housed. Thus, the housing 30 can protect the heating component 10 and the battery 20, reduce the impact on them, and improve the lifespan of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0074] Specifically, the outer casing 30 is an external part of the aerosol generating device 100, and the outer casing 30 may be elongated. The outer casing 30 is made of materials with high hardness, such as metal or plastic, thereby improving the impact resistance of the outer casing 30 to protect the heating component 10 and the battery 20.

[0075] Please see Figures 6-8 In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 100 includes an end cap 40 and a cover 50, which are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the housing 30. The cover 50 is movable relative to the housing 30 to open or cover the opening at one end of the hollow channel 11.

[0076] Thus, when the cover 50 opens the hollow channel 11, the aerosol generating matrix 200 can be inserted into the hollow channel 11 through the opening. When the cover 50 covers the hollow channel 11, the cover 50 can prevent the aerosol generating matrix 200 from falling out of the hollow channel 11, so that the aerosol generating matrix 200 can be used smoothly.

[0077] Specifically, the end cap 40 can be a tubular structure with both ends connected. A hollow suction channel is formed inside the end cap 40, through which the aerosol escapes and enters the user's mouth or nasal cavity. The end cap 40 can be detachably connected to the outer shell 30 by magnetic attraction or thread. When the aerosol generating matrix 200 is a solid matrix, the aerosol generating matrix 200 can be inserted into the loading hole 121 through the end cap 40.

[0078] The cover 50 is movably connected to the bottom of the housing 30. The connection between the cover 50 and the housing 30 includes, but is not limited to, rotational connection, sliding connection, magnetic connection, and snap-fit ​​connection. For example, the housing 30 has a groove on one side of the unloading hole, and the cover 50 can slide along the groove from directly below the unloading hole to open the unloading hole.

[0079] With the cover 50 covering the opening at one end of the hollow channel 11, the cover 50 can abut against the aerosol generating matrix 200 located in the hollow channel 11 to provide support and limit its position.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cover 50 is rotatably connected to the housing 30.

[0081] Thus, by rotating the cover 50 to the outer casing 30, the cover 50 can be partially detached from the outer casing 30 when the unloading hole is opened, reducing the space occupied and thus facilitating product miniaturization.

[0082] Specifically, the cover 50 can be rotatably connected to the housing 30 via a pivot, hinge, gear, or other transmission component. For example, a perforation is formed on the housing 30, and the cover 50 is fixedly connected to a pivot 501 passing through the perforation. The pivot 501 can drive the cover 50 to rotate relative to the housing 30.

[0083] Please see Figures 7-8 In some embodiments, a vent 51 is formed on the cover 50, and the vent 51 communicates with the hollow channel 11. In this way, by forming a vent 51 on the cover 50 that communicates with the hollow channel 11, an airflow inlet is provided for external air to enter the heating chamber, which helps the formation and flow of aerosols.

[0084] Specifically, under the heating state of the aerosol generating device 100, the aerosol generating matrix 200 extends into the hollow channel 11 and is heated to generate aerosol. External air enters the heating chamber through the vent 51, mixes with the aerosol, continues to rise, enters the end cap 40, and is inhaled by the user. The external air entering the heating chamber can also absorb a small amount of heat to form hot air. The dispersion of hot air within the heating chamber also helps the aerosol generating matrix 200 to be heated more fully and evenly.

[0085] It should be noted that when the aerosol generating matrix 200 is a solid matrix, the aerosol generating matrix 200 may include the main body, as well as plugs and filters.

[0086] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 100 further includes a circuit board 60, which is electrically connected to the battery 20. The circuit board 60 can control the discharge of the battery 20, thereby controlling the heating state of the heating element 12.
