Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic vaping devices typically consist of an atomizer and a liquid, which is heated by the atomizer to produce inhalable vapor and / or aerosol. Existing common electronic vaping devices generally do not contain or use tobacco.

[0003] In related technologies, liquids may contain a combination solution of at least one of nicotine, flavoring agents, and aerosol-generating substances to replace tobacco products or reduce the amount of tobacco products used by users. However, liquids are volatile, and over time, this not only leads to a reduction in the effective components of the liquid, affecting taste, aroma, and intake, thus greatly reducing the user experience, but also causes changes in composition due to evaporation, potentially producing substances harmful to the human body and posing a potential threat to the user's health.

[0053] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0054] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of this application may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. Furthermore, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0055] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0056] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, this application discloses an atomizer. The atomizing device may include: a mouthpiece 10, the mouthpiece 10 having a suction channel 11; an atomizing body 20, one end of the atomizing body 20 being movably connected to the mouthpiece 10, the atomizing body 20 having a first storage cavity 21 for storing a self-volatile aerosol generation matrix and an aerosol release region 251; the aerosol release region 251 is configured to communicate with the first storage cavity 21; wherein, when the mouthpiece 10 is in a first position relative to the atomizing body 20, the suction channel 11 and the aerosol release region 251 are in liquid-conducting communication; when the mouthpiece 10 is in a second position relative to the atomizing body 20, the suction channel 11 and the aerosol release region 251 are cut off from liquid-conducting communication.

[0058] In this embodiment, since the mouthpiece 10 can be movably connected to one end of the atomizing body 20, the relative position of the mouthpiece 10 and the first container 22 can be adjusted. By adjusting the mouthpiece 10 to a first position relative to the atomizing body 20, the suction channel 11 of the mouthpiece 10 and the liquid-conducting area 251 of the atomizing body 20 are connected. In this way, the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix in the first storage cavity 21 can enter the suction channel 11 through the aerosol release area 251 for inhalation by the user. By adjusting the mouthpiece 10 to a second position relative to the atomizing body 20, the liquid-conducting area 11 and the aerosol release area 251 are cut off, thus sealing the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix and preventing its volatilization. This not only prevents the reduction of the effective components of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix, ensuring taste, aroma, and intake, and improving the user experience, but also prevents changes in the composition of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix, reducing the threat to the user's health.

[0059] In this embodiment, the atomizer can cooperate with a power supply component to form an atomizing device. The power supply component includes a battery compartment and a battery and circuit board disposed within the battery compartment. The power supply component can be electrically connected to the atomizer to provide power to the atomizer. The atomizer and the power supply component can be detachably connected or fixedly connected, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0060] In some embodiments, the atomizing body 20 is the main structure of the atomizer, used to mount structures such as the mouthpiece 10. The mouthpiece 10 is a key component of the atomizer that directly contacts the user, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle 10 has a suction channel 11, which allows the user to inhale aerosol through the suction channel 11. The specific material of the nozzle 10 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the atomizer may also include a plug 60. When the atomizer is in an inactive state, the plug 60 can be used to block the inhalation channel 11. Before activating the atomizer, the plug 60 can be removed to allow the user to inhale.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as the junction Figures 4 to 6 As shown, one end of the atomizing body 20 can be movably connected to the mouthpiece 10, allowing the relative position between the mouthpiece 10 and the atomizing body 20 to be adjustable. The atomizing body 20 has a first storage cavity 21 for storing a self-volatile aerosol generation matrix and an aerosol release region 251, which can communicate with the first storage cavity 21. The aerosol release region 251 can be a through-hole, a liquid-guiding mesh, or other structure through which the aerosol matrix or aerosol can pass. In this embodiment, the size and shape of the aerosol release region 251 are not specifically limited.

[0063] In some embodiments, the nozzle 10 may be in a first position relative to the atomizing body 20, and the suction channel 11 and the aerosol release area 251 are in liquid-conducting communication, so that the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix in the first storage cavity 21 can be released from the aerosol release area 251 to the suction channel 11. In this way, the user can obtain aerosol by sucking in the nozzle 10.

[0064] In some embodiments, the nozzle 10 may also be in a second position relative to the atomizing body 20, and the suction channel 11 and the liquid guide of the aerosol release area 251 may be cut off, thereby achieving a seal on the first storage cavity 21 and thus preventing the volatilization of the self-volatile aerosol generation matrix.

[0065] In some embodiments, the suction nozzle 10 can switch between a first position and a second position to open or seal the first storage cavity 21. The suction nozzle 10 can be adjusted manually to switch between the first and second positions, or it can be designed with a speed adjustment mechanism to switch between the first and second positions via a switch trigger. This application does not specifically limit the specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0066] In some embodiments, the atomizing body 20 includes: a first container 22, one end of which is movably connected to a mouthpiece 10; an external connecting tube 23, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mouthpiece 10, and the other end is disposed inside the first container 22 and rotatably connected to the first container 22; the external connecting tube 23, the mouthpiece 10, and the first container 22 limit the first storage cavity 21; the external connecting tube 23 is provided with a liquid guiding hole 231; and a first sealing member 24, which is correspondingly disposed with the liquid guiding hole and fixedly connected to the first container 22; wherein, when the mouthpiece 10 is in a first position relative to the first container 22, the liquid guiding hole 231 and the first storage cavity 21 are in liquid guiding communication; when the mouthpiece 10 is in a second position relative to the first container 22, the first sealing member 24 blocks the liquid guiding hole 231.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the nozzle 10 is in the first position relative to the first container 22, the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix in the first storage cavity 21 can flow from the liquid guiding hole 231 to the aerosol release area 251, thereby achieving liquid guiding communication between the aerosol release area 251 and the first storage cavity 21; when the nozzle 10 is in the second position relative to the first container 22, the first sealing member 24 can block the liquid guiding hole 231, thereby achieving liquid guiding cutoff between the aerosol release area 251 and the first storage cavity 21.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first sealing element 24 cooperates with the liquid guiding hole 231 to open or seal the first storage cavity 21, effectively preventing the decomposition and volatilization of the self-volatile aerosol generation matrix. Furthermore, the external connecting tube 23 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 10, allowing the nozzle 10 to drive the external connecting tube 23 to rotate synchronously. This enables the aerosol release area 251 and the liquid guiding hole 231 to be simultaneously blocked or opened, ensuring the reliability of the atomizer switching from an inactive state to an active state.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the atomizer is in an inactive state, the mouthpiece 10 is switched to a second position relative to the first container 22, and the first sealing member 24 seals the liquid guiding hole 231, so that the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix is ​​sealed in the first storage cavity 21, and the liquid guiding between the aerosol release area 251 and the first storage cavity 21 is cut off, which can effectively reduce the risk of volatilization and diffusion of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix; when the atomizer is in an active state, the mouthpiece 10 is switched to a first position relative to the first container 22, and the first sealing member 24 can open the liquid guiding hole 231, so that the liquid guiding between the aerosol release area 251 and the first storage cavity 21 is connected, so that the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix flows out of the liquid guiding hole 231 and volatilizes from the aerosol release area 251 into the suction channel 11.

[0070] In some embodiments, one end of the external connecting tube 23 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 10. The fixed connection can be achieved by snap-fit, adhesive bonding, or interference fit, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit the method. The other end of the external connecting tube 23 is rotatably connected to the first container 22. The rotatable connection can be achieved by a shaft-hole fit to ensure the reliability of the rotation of the external connecting tube 23 relative to the first container 22.

[0071] In some embodiments, the external connecting tube 23 is a hollow cylindrical structure with open ends to ensure the reliability of the external connecting tube 23's rotatable connection to the first container 22. The external connecting tube 23 has a liquid guiding hole 231, which can be a racetrack-shaped hole, an elliptical hole, or a polygonal hole, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first sealing element 24 may be made of silicone or plastic, which improves the sealing effect of the first sealing element 24 on the liquid guiding hole 231. The first sealing element 24 may be disposed in the first storage cavity or in the external connecting tube; this embodiment does not specifically limit the placement of the first sealing element 24.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizing body 20 further includes: an inner connecting tube 25, which is disposed within the outer connecting tube 23. One end of the inner connecting tube 25 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 10 and communicates with the suction channel 11, and the other end of the inner connecting tube 25 is rotatably connected to the first container 22. The aerosol release area 251 is an opening formed in the inner connecting tube 25. A second sealing member 26 is disposed between the inner connecting tube 25 and the outer connecting tube 23 and is fixedly connected to the first container 22. When the nozzle 10 is in a first position relative to the first container 22, the liquid guiding hole 231 and the aerosol release area 251 are in liquid guiding communication. When the nozzle 10 is in a second position relative to the first container 22, the second sealing member 26 seals the aerosol release area 251.

[0074] In this embodiment, the aerosol release area 251 is formed in the inner connecting tube 25. The inner connecting tube 25 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 10 and can rotate relative to the first container 22. The second sealing member 26 is fixedly connected to the first container 22, so that the relative position between the second sealing member 26 and the aerosol release area 251 is adjustable, thereby enabling the second sealing member 26 to open or block the aerosol release area 251.

[0075] In some embodiments, the inner connecting tube 25, the outer connecting tube 23, and the suction nozzle 10 are relatively fixed, and all three can rotate relative to the first container 22, allowing them to be adjusted relative to the first container 22. The inner connecting tube 25 and the outer connecting tube 23 are both fixedly connected to the suction nozzle 10; however, the specific connection method is not limited in this embodiment.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first sealing member 24 and the second sealing member 26 are both fixedly connected to the first container 22, so that the first sealing member 24 and the second sealing member 26 can be stationary relative to the first container 22. In this way, when the suction nozzle 10 switches between the first position and the second position relative to the first container 22, the outer connecting tube 23 and the inner connecting tube 25 are adjusted relative to the first sealing member 24 and the second sealing member 26, respectively.

[0077] In some embodiments, the second sealing element 26 can be integrally formed with the first container 22, which helps to improve the structural stability of the atomizer. In other embodiments, the second sealing element 26 can also be spliced ​​and fixed with the first container 22.

[0078] In some embodiments, the second sealing element 26 may be made of metal. In other embodiments, the second sealing element 26 may be made of silicone or plastic to enhance the sealing effect of the second sealing element 26 on the aerosol release area 251.

[0079] In some embodiments, the inner connecting tube 25 may be disposed inside the outer connecting tube 23, and the inner connecting tube 25 and the outer connecting tube 23 may be disposed at intervals; one end of the inner connecting tube 25 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first container 22; one end of the outer connecting tube 23 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first container 22.

[0080] In some embodiments, one end of the inner connecting tube 25 can be inserted into the suction channel 11, and one end of the inner connecting tube 25 can be interference-fitted with the suction nozzle 10 to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection between the inner connecting tube 25 and the suction nozzle 10.

[0081] In some embodiments, the outer connecting pipe 23 has a liquid guiding hole 231, and the inner connecting pipe 25 has an aerosol release area 251. The liquid guiding hole 231 and the aerosol release area 251 can be arranged opposite to each other. The second sealing member 26 can be disposed between the outer connecting pipe 23 and the inner connecting pipe 25, and can connect or disconnect the liquid guiding hole 231 and the aerosol release area 251.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first sealing element 24 and the second sealing element 26 may be disposed on opposite sides of the outer connecting pipe 23. In other embodiments, the first sealing element 24 and the second sealing element 26 may also be disposed on the same side of the outer connecting pipe 23, that is, both the first sealing element 24 and the second sealing element 26 may be disposed between the outer connecting pipe 23 and the inner connecting pipe 25.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, when the atomizer is not activated, the mouthpiece 10 is in a second position relative to the first container 22. The first sealing member 24 can block the liquid guiding hole 231, and the second sealing member 26 can block the aerosol release area 251, so that the liquid guiding of the first storage cavity 21 and the aerosol release area 251 is cut off, which can prevent the self-volatile aerosol generation matrix from leaking out through the aerosol release area 251.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the atomizer is activated, the nozzle 10 is in a first position relative to the first container 22. The first sealing member 24 can open the liquid guiding hole 231, and the second sealing member 26 can be offset from the aerosol release area 251, so that the aerosol release area 251 is opened, and the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix in the first storage cavity 21 generates aerosol. The aerosol can enter the inner connecting tube 25 through the aerosol release area 251, so that the liquid guiding hole 231 and the aerosol release area 251 can be connected by liquid guiding, thereby enabling the aerosol to enter the suction channel 11 in sequence through the liquid guiding hole 231 and the aerosol release area 251.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, the first container 22 may be provided with a first annular portion at one end facing the nozzle 10, and the nozzle 10 may be provided with a second annular portion at one end facing the first container 22. The first annular portion is sleeved outside the second annular portion, or the second annular portion is sleeved outside the first annular portion. The first annular portion and the second annular portion are rotatably connected to ensure the reliability and stability of the rotatable connection between the nozzle 10 and the first container 22.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the first sealing member 24 includes a limiting part 241 and a sealing part 242, the sealing part 242 protruding at least a portion of the limiting part 241 toward the suction nozzle 10; the limiting part 241 is engaged with the first container 22 along the circumferential direction of the outer connecting tube 23.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first sealing member 24 can be fixedly connected to the first container 22 through the limiting part 241, and the liquid guiding hole 231 can be sealed through the sealing part 242, which is relatively simple and convenient.

[0088] In some embodiments, the limiting part 241 and the first container 22 are engaged circumferentially along the outer connecting pipe 23, which can prevent the first sealing member 24 from rotating relative to the first container 22, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the sealing member 24 in sealing the liquid guiding hole 231. The sealing part 242 and the limiting part 241 are integrally formed. The limiting part 241 can be a ring structure or an arc structure, etc. The sealing part 242 can be an arc structure.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first container 22 may be provided with a first limiting member 221, and the limiting portion 241 may be provided with a second limiting member 2411. The first limiting member 221 and the second limiting member 2411 are connected and limited along the circumference of the outer connecting pipe 23. One of the first limiting member 221 and the second limiting member 2411 is a buckle, and the other is a slot. In other embodiments, the first limiting member 221 and the second limiting member 2411 may be provided at intervals along the circumference of the outer connecting pipe 23, and the first container 22 may be provided at intervals along the circumference of the outer connecting pipe 23 with the second limiting member 2411 and the first limiting member 221.

[0090] In some embodiments, the limiting part 241 is an annular structure, and the limiting part 241 is sleeved on one end of the external connecting tube 23. The limiting part 241 is sealed to the external connecting tube 23 and the first container 22 respectively, which facilitates the improvement of the sealing performance of the first storage cavity 21.

[0091] In some embodiments of this application, the second sealing member 26 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 262 and a sealing portion 261, with the sealing portion 261 protruding at least a portion of the snap-fit ​​portion 262 toward the suction nozzle 10; the snap-fit ​​portion 262 snaps into the first container 22 along the circumferential direction of the outer connecting tube 23.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second sealing member 26 can be fixedly connected to the first container 22 through the snap-fit ​​part 262, and the aerosol release area 251 can be blocked through the sealing part 261, which is relatively simple and convenient.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first container 22 is provided with a limiting groove with its opening facing the suction nozzle 10; the snap-fit ​​part 262 is embedded in the limiting groove. In other embodiments, the second sealing member 26 can be integrally formed with the first container 22 through the snap-fit ​​part 262.

[0094] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 262 can be an arc structure or an annular structure, etc. The snap-fit ​​portion 262 and the limiting groove are structurally corresponding. For example, when the snap-fit ​​portion 262 is an annular structure, the corresponding limiting groove can be an annular groove. In this case, the snap-fit ​​portion 262 can be interference-fitted with the limiting groove. Alternatively, when the snap-fit ​​portion 262 is an arc structure, the corresponding limiting groove can be an arc-shaped groove. Furthermore, along the circumference of the inner connecting pipe 25, the snap-fit ​​portion 262 and the limiting groove can also achieve a limiting connection, so that the second sealing member 26 can rotate relative to the first container 22, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the second sealing member 26 in sealing the aerosol release area 251.

[0095] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 262 and the sealing portion 261 may be integrally formed or designed separately, etc., and this application does not specifically limit this.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the suction nozzle 10 is in the second position relative to the first container 22, the sealing part 242 covers the liquid guiding hole 231, and the blocking part 261 blocks the aerosol release area 251, which can achieve the sealing of the first storage cavity 21 and reduce the loss and volatilization of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the sealing part 242 is provided with first notches 243 at intervals at both ends of the outer connecting pipe 23 in the circumferential direction. In this way, by adjusting the outer connecting pipe 23, the sealing part 242 can seal the liquid guiding hole 231 when it is opposite to the liquid guiding hole 231, and the first notches 243 can open the liquid guiding hole 231 when they are opposite to the liquid guiding hole 231.

[0098] In some embodiments, the sealing part 242 can be an arc structure, such as a semi-circular arc, a third-circular arc, or a quarter-circular arc. The arc length of the sealing part 242 can be designed according to the opening size of the liquid guiding hole 231. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made.

[0099] In some embodiments of this application, the sealing part 261 is provided with second notches 263 at intervals at both ends of the inner connecting tube 25 in the circumferential direction. In this way, by adjusting the inner connecting tube 25, the sealing part 261 can block the aerosol release area 251 when it is opposite to the aerosol release area 251, and the second notches 263 can open the aerosol release area 251 when they are opposite to the aerosol release area 251.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the nozzle 10 is in a first position relative to the first container 22, the aerosol release area 251, the second notch 263, and the first notch 243 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the aerosol release area 251 can achieve liquid-conducting communication with the first storage cavity 21.

[0101] In some embodiments, the blocking portion 261 can be an arc structure, such as a semi-circular arc, a third-degree arc, or a quarter-degree arc. The arc length of the blocking portion 261 can be designed according to the opening size of the aerosol release area 251. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made.

[0102] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizer further includes a liquid guiding element 40, which is disposed between the external connecting tube 23 and the second sealing member 26. The liquid guiding element 40 is used to guide the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix to the aerosol release area 251 to ensure that the aerosol generated by the volatilization of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix enters the suction channel 11 from the aerosol release area 251 and is sucked by the user.

[0103] In some embodiments, the liquid guiding element 40 has a ring-shaped structure and is sleeved between the inner connecting tube 25 and the outer connecting tube 23; the second sealing element 26 is disposed between the liquid guiding element 40 and the inner connecting tube 25.

[0104] In this embodiment, the liquid guiding element 40 has a ring-shaped structure, which allows the liquid guiding element 40 to be fitted around the entire circle of the inner connecting tube 25. This ensures the reliability of the liquid guiding element 40 in guiding the fragrance to the aerosol release area 251. Moreover, the fit between the liquid guiding element 40 and the aerosol release area 251 is not limited, which also improves the ease of assembling the liquid guiding element 40 and the inner connecting tube 25. In addition, the inner connecting tube 25 can also provide support for the liquid guiding element 40, which can reduce the risk of deformation of the liquid guiding element 40 and thus reduce the difficulty of assembling the liquid guiding element 40.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second sealing element 26 is disposed between the liquid guiding element 40 and the inner connecting tube 25, which can improve the reliability of the second sealing element 26 in sealing the aerosol release area 251.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first container 22 is further provided with an annular groove 222 on the side facing the nozzle 10, so that at least a portion of the liquid guiding element 40 and the external connecting tube 23 can be disposed in the annular groove 222.

[0107] In this embodiment, the annular groove 222 can limit the movement of the external connecting pipe 23 in its radial direction, thereby improving the reliability of the rotation of the external connecting pipe 23 relative to the first container 22.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the external connecting pipe 23 is also provided with an air guide hole 232. Along the conduction direction of the external connecting pipe 23, the air guide hole 232 is located on the side of the liquid guide hole 231 near the suction nozzle 10. When the suction nozzle 10 is in the second position relative to the first container 22, the first sealing member 24 also seals the air guide hole 232.

[0109] In this embodiment, the external connecting pipe 23 is also provided with a gas guide hole 232, so that while the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix flows out of the first storage cavity 21, gas can enter the first storage cavity 21 through the gas guide hole 232. This can improve the smoothness of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix flowing out of the first storage cavity 21 and can also increase the speed at which the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix permeates the liquid guiding element 40, resulting in a better mixing effect of the aerosol and improving the taste.

[0110] In this embodiment, the first sealing member 24 cooperates with the air guide hole 232 and the liquid guide hole 231 respectively. When the suction nozzle 10 is in the first position relative to the first container 22, the first sealing member 24 simultaneously opens the air guide hole 232 and the liquid guide hole 231. In this way, while the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix flows out of the first storage cavity 21, the gas can be replenished into the first storage cavity 21, making the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix flow more smoothly. The liquid guiding element 40 can quickly seep liquid, which can be completed in a short time, resulting in a better aroma enhancement effect.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the air guide hole 232 and the liquid guide hole 231 are connected. In other embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the air guide hole 232 and the liquid guide hole 231 are arranged alternately, which makes the arrangement of the air guide hole 232 and the liquid guide hole 231 more diverse.

[0112] In some embodiments, the air guide hole 232 can be located on the side of the liquid guide hole 231 near the nozzle 10, so that gas can enter from the top of the first storage chamber 21 and the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix can flow out from the bottom of the first storage chamber 21, making the air exchange smoother and the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix easier to flow out.

[0113] In some embodiments, the liquid guiding element 40 and the air guiding hole 232 can be arranged at intervals along the conduction direction of the external connecting pipe 23, which can prevent the liquid guiding element 40 from blocking the air guiding hole 232, thereby improving the reliability of gas entering the first storage cavity 21.

[0114] In some embodiments, the atomizer further includes a first seal 51, which is connected between the inner connecting tube 25 and the outer connecting tube 23, and abuts against the mouthpiece 10.

[0115] In this embodiment, a first sealing element 51 is used to connect the inner connecting tube 25 and the outer connecting tube 23. The first sealing element 51 also serves to seal, effectively preventing the volatilization and decomposition of the self-volatile aerosol generation matrix. Moreover, the first sealing element 51 can support one end of the outer connecting tube 23, so that the first sealing element 51 can play a positioning role for the outer connecting tube 23, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the outer connecting tube 23 with the nozzle 10.

[0116] In some embodiments, the material of the first sealing element 51 may be silicone or plastic, the first sealing element 51 may be an annular sealing ring, the inner circumference of the first sealing element 51 may abut against the outer circumference of the inner connecting pipe 25, and the outer circumference of the first sealing element 51 may abut against the inner circumference of the outer connecting pipe 23.

[0117] In some embodiments, the atomizer further includes a second seal 52, which is sleeved on the other end of the external connecting tube 23. The second seal 52 is sealed to the external connecting tube 23, the first container 22 and the mouthpiece 10 respectively, so as to improve the sealing of the first storage cavity 21.

[0118] In some embodiments, the external connecting tube 23 is engaged with the suction nozzle 10 along the circumference of the external connecting tube 23, which can reduce the movement of the external connecting tube 23 relative to the suction nozzle 10 along its circumference, thereby ensuring the reliability of the suction nozzle 10 driving the external connecting tube 23 to rotate.

[0119] In some embodiments, the suction nozzle 10 may be provided with a first latching portion 12, and the inner connecting tube 25 may be provided with a second latching portion 2521. The first latching portion 12 and the second latching portion 2521 may be connected and limited along the circumference of the inner connecting tube 25. One of the first latching portion 12 and the second latching portion 2521 is a slot, and the other is a latch. In other embodiments, the suction nozzle 10 may be provided with the first latching portion 12 and the second latching portion 2521 at intervals along the circumference of the inner connecting tube 25, and the inner connecting tube 25 may be provided with the second latching portion 2521 and the first latching portion 12 at intervals along its circumference.

[0120] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizing body 20 may further include a second container 28, which may have an atomizing airway 282 and a second storage cavity 281 for storing the aerosol heating atomization generation matrix. The second storage cavity 281 is disposed on the side of the first storage cavity 21 away from the nozzle 10. The atomizing airway 282 is connected to the suction channel 11 and the aerosol release area 251, respectively. The atomizing core 30 is connected to the second storage cavity 281 for liquid guiding. The atomizing core 30 is configured to heat the aerosol heating atomization generation matrix to generate aerosol and release the aerosol to the atomizing airway 282.

[0121] In this embodiment, after the atomizing core 30 heats the aerosol and generates an aerosol from the heating atomizing matrix, the aerosol can evaporate from the atomizing airway 282 to the aerosol release area 251 and mix with the aerosol generated by the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix. Then, it enters the suction channel 11 and is inhaled by the user, which can improve the taste.

[0122] For example, the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix can volatilize to generate a first aerosol, which can enter the aerosol release area 251; the atomizing core 30 heats the aerosol and heats the atomizing matrix to generate a second aerosol, which can flow from the atomizing channel 282 to the aerosol release area 251, so that the second aerosol and the first aerosol can be mixed first and then flow together into the suction channel 11 to be inhaled by the user, which can increase the richness of the aerosol's flavor.

[0123] In some embodiments, a self-volatile aerosol generating matrix refers to a matrix whose components naturally volatilize to the outside due to physical or chemical properties without active heating or external intervention. The self-volatile aerosol generating matrix can be a fragrance, flavoring, or seasoning to enrich the taste. The self-volatile aerosol generating matrix can be solid particles or liquids, etc., and this application does not specifically limit this in the embodiments.

[0124] In some embodiments, the aerosol heating and atomization matrix refers to a substance matrix that can be converted into an aerosol through heating, atomization, or other means, and may include nicotine.

[0125] In some embodiments, the atomizing core 30 may include a heating element 31, a liquid storage element 33, and a liquid guide 32 disposed within the atomizing air passage 282. The liquid guide 32 may be connected between the heating element 31 and the liquid storage element 33. The liquid storage element 33 may be used to store the aerosol heating and atomization generation matrix. The liquid guide 32 may guide the aerosol heating and atomization generation matrix to the heating element 31, so that when the heating element 31 is powered on, it can heat and atomize the aerosol heating and atomization generation matrix to generate aerosol.

[0126] The liquid storage element 33 can be oil-absorbing cotton or polymer cotton, etc., and the liquid guiding element 32 can be oil-guiding cotton or polymer cotton, etc. The heating element 31 can be a heating wire or heating mesh, etc. The heating element 31 can be electrically connected to the circuit board, so as to achieve electrical connection with the battery through the circuit board, so that the battery can supply power to the heating element 31.

[0127] In some embodiments, the second container 28 may be connected to the end of the first container 22 away from the nozzle 10, and the second container 28 may be designed separately from the first container 22. In other embodiments, the first container 22 may be designed as an integral part of the second container 28.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the inner connecting tube 25 is connected to the atomizing air channel 282, and the other end of the inner connecting tube 25 is connected to the suction channel 11, so that the inner connecting tube 25 can play a guiding role, so that after the aerosol diffuses into the atomizing air channel 282, it flows into the inner connecting tube 25, and then into the suction channel 11, where it is sucked in by the user.

[0129] In some embodiments of this application, the first container 22 and the second container 28 can be separated by a partition 27. The partition 27 can be part of the first container 22 and / or the second container 28, so that the partition 27 can separate the first storage cavity 21 and the second storage cavity 281. The inner connecting tube 25 can be inserted through the partition 27, so that the inner connecting tube 25 and the partition 27 can achieve shaft hole fit, so as to ensure the reliability and stability of the rotational connection between the inner connecting tube 25 and the first container 22.

[0130] In some embodiments, the inner connecting tube 25 includes a tube body 252 and a protruding edge 253 connected to one end of the tube body 252. The protruding edge 253 is located inside the second storage cavity 281 and abuts against the side of the partition 27 facing the second storage cavity 281. The end of the tube body 252 away from the protruding edge 253 is engaged with the suction nozzle 10 along the circumference of the inner connecting tube 25.

[0131] In this embodiment, the protruding edge 253 abuts against the side of the partition 27 facing the second storage cavity 281, so that the protruding edge 253 can limit the tube body 252 and prevent the inner connecting tube 25 from being pulled out. The end of the tube body 252 away from the protruding edge 253 is engaged with the suction nozzle 10 along the circumference of the inner connecting tube 25, which can reduce the risk of the inner connecting tube 25 rotating relative to the suction nozzle 10, thereby improving the reliability of the suction nozzle 10 driving the inner connecting tube 25 to rotate.

[0132] In some embodiments, the protruding edge 253 may also have a positioning groove 2531, through which the inner connecting tube 25 can be fixed by a tooling through the positioning groove 2531, and then the inner connecting tube 25 and the suction nozzle 10 can be assembled.

[0133] In some embodiments, the inner connecting tube 25 can be a one-piece molded structure. The end of the tube body 252 opposite to the protruding edge 253 can also be interference-fitted with the suction channel 11 to improve the reliability of the fixed connection between the inner connecting tube 25 and the suction nozzle 10.

[0134] In some embodiments, the suction nozzle 10 may be provided with a third latching portion 13, and the external connecting tube 23 may be provided with a fourth latching portion 233. The third latching portion 13 and the fourth latching portion 233 can be latched together along the circumference of the external connecting tube 23. One of the third latching portion 13 and the fourth latching portion 233 can be a slot, and the other can be a latch. In other embodiments, the suction nozzle 10 may be provided with the third latching portion 13 and the fourth latching portion 233 at intervals along the circumference of the external connecting tube 23, and the external connecting tube 23 may be provided with the fourth latching portion 233 and the third latching portion 13 at intervals along its circumference.

[0135] The atomizer described in the embodiments of this application has at least the following advantages:

[0136] In this embodiment, since the mouthpiece can be movably connected to one end of the atomizing body, the relative positions of the mouthpiece and the atomizing body can be adjusted. By adjusting the mouthpiece to a first position relative to the atomizing body, the suction channel of the mouthpiece and the liquid guiding area of ​​the aerosol release area of ​​the atomizing body are connected. In this way, the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix in the first storage cavity can enter the suction channel through the aerosol release area for inhalation by the user. By adjusting the mouthpiece to a second position relative to the atomizing body, the liquid guiding area of ​​the suction channel and the aerosol release area is cut off, thus sealing the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix and preventing its volatilization. This not only prevents the reduction of the effective components of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix, ensuring taste, aroma, and intake, and improving the user experience, but also prevents changes in the composition of the self-volatile aerosol generating matrix, reducing the threat to the user's health.
