Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, specifically to a bracket and an atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] The atomizing device mainly uses a heating element to heat the e-liquid to a suitable temperature, causing the propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings and other components in the e-liquid to be atomized into tiny particles, forming an aerosol similar to smoke for the user to inhale.

[0003] In an atomizing device, the electrodes and heating element need to come into contact with each other to form a closed circuit. Current flows out from the positive terminal of the power supply, passes through the positive electrode, the heating element, and the negative electrode, and then returns to the negative terminal of the power supply. The heating element converts the current into heat energy to heat the e-liquid.

[0004] In related technologies, welding and interference fitting are commonly used to connect electrodes and heating elements. However, welding and interference fitting can damage the metal protective layer, leading to the precipitation of heavy metals, deformation of the heating element, and increased process costs and assembly space requirements.

[0050] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "circumferential", "radial", 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 utility model 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 utility model.

[0052] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0053] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, in related technologies, electrodes and heating elements in atomizing devices are mostly rigidly connected, such as by welding or interference fit. For example, with welding, the protective layer on the surface of the electrode and heating element can be corroded and damaged during the welding process, resulting in the exposure of heavy metals. The welded part between the heating element and the electrode and other parts may deform due to stress changes. With interference fit, electrode holes need to be provided on the supporting structure of the atomizing device. The conductive part of the heating element is bent or bent and inserted into the electrode hole, and then the electrode is inserted into the electrode hole to cooperate with the conductive part. In this process, the assembly process is relatively complicated. The electrode and heating element may scrape during assembly, which may damage the outer protective layer and expose the internal heavy metal parts. The heating element is also prone to deformation. In addition, since the structural strength of the supporting structure with electrode holes is reduced, the size of the supporting structure needs to be increased in order to ensure the structural strength of the supporting structure with electrode holes, which reduces the internal space of the atomizing device.

[0054] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an atomizing device, including an oil cup 7 and an atomizing component, with the atomizing component partially assembled in the oil cup 7. The oil cup 7 has a storage chamber b for storing atomized liquid, and the atomizing component includes a heating element 2 for heating the atomized liquid. The atomized liquid is heated and atomized to form an aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0055] Specifically, the atomizing assembly includes a bracket 1, an oil guide 8, a heating element 2, and an electrode 3. The heating element 2 includes a heating section 20 and a conductive section 21 connected to the heating section 20. The bracket 1 has a bracket body 10 and an elastic support member 11. The mounting body 10 has a mounting surface. The heating element 2 and the oil guide 8 are mounted on the bracket body 10. The heating element 2 is in liquid communication with the liquid reservoir b through the oil guide 8. The oil guide 8 conducts the liquid from the liquid reservoir b to the heating element 2 through capillary action. After the heating element 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting surface 100 on the bracket body 10, at least a portion of the conductive section 21 abuts against the elastic support member 11. The electrode 3 abuts against the side of the conductive section 21 away from the elastic support member 11. The heating element 2 is sheet-shaped, and in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 100, the thickness of the elastic support member 11 is greater than the thickness of the heating element 2. It should be noted that after the atomizing assembly is installed, the electrode 3 and the elastic support member 11 are located on opposite sides of the heating element 2, forming a clamping effect on the heating element 2.

[0056] The oil guide body can be made of porous capillary material, such as cotton or porous ceramic. The elastic support 11 is set on the bracket body 10. The bracket body 10 has a mounting surface 100 adapted to the heating element 2. The heating element is fixedly mounted on the mounting surface 100. At least part of the conductive part 21 covers the elastic support 11. When the electrode 3 presses against the side of the conductive part 21 away from the elastic support 11, the elastic support 11 provides a supporting force to the conductive part 21 away from the mounting surface 100.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, the elastic support member 11 is disposed at one end of the support body 10 to cooperate with the electrode 3. In other embodiments, the elastic support member 11 may also be disposed on both sides of the support body 10. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0058] The conductive part 21 on the heating element 2 is electrically connected to the power source through the electrode 3. The heating element 20 converts electrical energy into heat energy, thereby heating the atomized liquid in the oil cup. In this embodiment, by providing an elastic support member 11 on the bracket body 10, after the heating element 2 is fixedly installed on the mounting surface 100, part of the conductive part 21 contacts the elastic support member 11. After the electrode 3 presses against the side of the conductive part 21 away from the elastic support member 11, the elastic support member 11 is compressed and provides a supporting force to the conductive part 21 away from the mounting surface 100, so as to maintain the continuous connection between the conductive part 21 and the electrode 3.

[0059] This configuration, by providing an elastic support member 11 at one end of the bracket body 10, allows the elastic support member 11 to elastically expand and contract at least in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 100 during the connection process between the electrode 3 and the heating element 2. This provides a supporting force to the heating element 2 away from the mounting surface 100, thereby maintaining the contact between the electrode 3 and the heating element 2, improving the stability and reliability of the connection. It can absorb the variation caused by manufacturing tolerances and avoid the situation where the connection fails due to deformation of the heating element 2. At the same time, compared with a rigid connection, the elastic connection can reduce the probability of scratching the metal plating and reduce the possibility of heavy metal precipitation. In addition, by setting the elastic support member 11 on the bracket 1, there is no need to add additional elastic components or reserve additional installation space, further reducing the cost of parts and assembly.

[0060] The electrical energy of electrode 3 is conducted to heating element 20 through conductive part 21. Heating element 20 can be made of metal wires interwoven into a mesh, and the shape of the mesh holes includes, but is not limited to, round holes, diamond holes, square holes, etc. The metal wires can be straight, curved, or zigzag to increase the length of heating element 20, thereby improving the heating efficiency of heating element 20.

[0061] In some embodiments, the mounting surface 100 may be a flat surface to mate with the sheet-like heating element in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the mounting surface 100 may also be a curved surface to mate with the curved heating element 2; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the elastic support 11 is provided with an abutment portion 110, which protrudes from the mounting surface 100 and is used to elastically abut against the conductive portion 21. When the electrode 3 abuts against the heating element 2, they together compress the elastic support 11, forming a pressing position on the elastic support 11, where the abutment portion 110 is located. During assembly, the electrode 3 abuts against the conductive portion 21, and together they compress the abutment portion 110. The abutment portion 110 elastically contracts under force until it is flush with the mounting surface 100, and under its own elastic force, it provides a supporting force to the conductive portion 21 close to the electrode 3.

[0063] In some embodiments, the contact portion 110 is made of an elastic material, specifically an insulating and low thermal conductivity elastic material, such as silicone rubber, fluororubber, polyurethane foam, etc., which can ensure that the electrical connection between the conductive portion 21 and the electrode 3 is not affected, and can also reduce the heat loss when the heating element 2 normally heats the atomizing liquid.

[0064] In some embodiments, the surface of the abutment portion 110 facing the heating element 2 can be a plane, abruptly formed outward from the plane of the support body 10. When the electrode 3 and the conductive part 21 press against each other, they can press against any position on the stepped surface. Setting the surface of the abutment portion 110 facing the heating element 2 as a plane can effectively improve the tightness and firmness of the fit between the electrode 3 and the heating element 2, and better ensure the electrical connection between the electrode 3 and the heating element 2. The surface of the abutment portion 110 facing the heating element 2 can also be a curved surface, protruding outward from the plane of the support body 10, and slowly falling back to the plane of the support body 10 after reaching the highest point. When the electrode 3 and the conductive part 21 press against each other, it is preferable to press against each other at the highest point. Setting the surface of the abutment portion 110 facing the heating element 2 as a curved surface can make the pressure between the electrode 3 and the heating element 2 more concentrated, ensuring good contact between the two. The abutment portion 110 can also be irregular in shape, for example, partially flat and partially curved.

[0065] In some embodiments, in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 100, the protrusion distance of the abutment portion 110 relative to the mounting surface 100 is no greater than 5 mm. Here, the protrusion distance refers to the maximum distance between the upper surface of the abutment portion 110 and the mounting surface 100. Those skilled in the art will understand that the protrusion distance of the abutment portion 110 relative to the mounting surface 100 corresponds to the manufacturing tolerances or deformations that the elastic support member 11 can absorb. Theoretically, the greater the protrusion distance of the abutment portion 110 relative to the mounting surface 100, the greater the manufacturing tolerance that the elastic support member 11 can absorb, or the greater the deformation of the heating element 2 that it can absorb. Considering the performance of the heating element 2 and the electrode 3, the protrusion distance of the abutment portion 110 relative to the mounting surface 100 should preferably be no more than 5mm. For example, the protrusion distance can be less than or equal to 3, such as 2.5mm, 2.0mm, 1.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.5mm, etc. In this way, for the installation method in which the heating element 2 is first attached to the mounting surface 100 and then the elastic support member is pressed down by the electrode 3, the abutment portion 110 having a suitable protrusion distance is beneficial for reducing the deformation of the heating element 2 during the installation process.

[0066] In some embodiments, the thickness of the elastic support 11 is 2 to 20 times the thickness of the heating element 2. The thickness of both the elastic support 11 and the heating element 2 refers to... Figure 4The thickness of the elastic support 11 is within a reasonable range, ensuring sufficient support for the heating element 2 and the electrode 3 abutting against the heating element 2, while avoiding excessive size that would occupy too much space, reduce space utilization, and waste costs. In some embodiments, the thickness of the elastic support 11 in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 100 is 0.1mm to 2mm, specifically, it can be between 0.4mm and 0.6mm, such as 0.4mm, 0.45mm, 0.5mm, 0.55mm, and 0.6mm, but is not limited to these. The thickness of the abutment portion 110 can be uneven, allowing for thickening in areas of higher stress and thinning in areas of lower stress. When the electrode 3 abuts against the conductive part 21, its support point is located on the upper surface of the elastic support member 11, and its force-bearing point is generally located on the lower surface of the elastic support member 11. Maintaining a suitable distance between the support point and the force-bearing point can ensure elasticity and prevent the elastic support member 11 from failing elastically.

[0067] In some alternative embodiments, the elastic support 11 has a substantially uniform wall thickness, and the abutment portion 110 may be a portion of the elastic support 11 that is bent and extended along the length direction and forms at least one crest portion protruding from the mounting surface, so as to ensure that the elastic support 11 as a whole has stable structural strength.

[0068] In some embodiments, the thickness of the heating element 2 is between 0.03 mm and 0.12 mm. For example, the thickness of the heating element 2 can be 0.03 mm, 0.04 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.06 mm, 0.07 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.09 mm, 0.10 mm, 0.11 mm, or 0.12 mm, but is not limited thereto.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the bracket body 10 is provided with a clearance groove 101 that penetrates the mounting surface 100, and at least one end of the elastic support member 11 is connected to the side wall of the clearance groove 101. It should be noted that, in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 100, the distance between the abutment portion 110 and the opposite side wall of the clearance groove 101 is greater than the distance by which the abutment portion 110 protrudes from the mounting surface 100, so as to provide sufficient clearance space, which facilitates installation and also ensures that the components provided between the bracket 1 and the base 4 do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the working stability of the entire atomizing assembly.

[0070] Furthermore, the bracket body 10 is also provided with a mounting groove 102 penetrating the mounting surface 100 and an oil guiding channel 103 communicating with the mounting groove 102. The mounting groove 102 is used to accommodate the oil guiding body 8 that cooperates with the heating element 2. The mounting groove 102 is isolated from the clearance groove 101. In this way, the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber b flows to the oil guiding body 8 through the oil guiding channel 103. The oil guiding body 8 transmits the atomizing liquid to the heating element 2. Since the mounting groove 102 and the clearance groove 101 are isolated, the oil in the oil guiding body is less likely to flow to the position where the conductive part 21 and the elastic support member 11 cooperate, which reduces the corrosive effect of the e-liquid on the electrode 3, thereby improving the service life of the atomizing component. At the same time, it avoids the electrode 3 from corroding and precipitating heavy metals, which would contaminate the atomizing liquid.

[0071] In some embodiments, the elastic support 11 may be a beam structure integrally formed on the support body 10 and connected to the support body 10 at least at one end.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting surface 100 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracket body 10 (in Figure 4 The central axis is located in the Z direction; an elastic support member 11 is provided on the support body 10, and two abutment parts 110 are provided on the elastic support member 11, which are located on both sides of the central axis 5.

[0073] Specifically, the support body 10 has a ventilation section 6 at one end along the longitudinal direction and a relief groove 101 at the other end. An elastic support member 11 is connected to the side wall of the relief groove 101, wherein the two ends of the elastic support member 11 are respectively connected to opposite side walls of the relief groove 101 (referring to...). Figure 3 The elastic support 11 is located along the opposite side walls in the Y direction, and is parallel to the mounting surface 100 and perpendicular to the central axis 5 (in the direction of the central axis 5). Figure 4 The elastic support 11 extends in the Y direction; it is provided with two abutment portions 110 arranged at intervals along the extension direction. Optionally, the two abutment portions 110 can be symmetrically arranged about the central axis 5.

[0074] It should be noted that the above-mentioned elastic support member 11 is a fixed-end beam structure with both ends fixed. The position of the abutment part 110 can be flexibly configured according to the different pressing positions of the electrode 3 and the heating element 2. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0075] Please refer to Figures 5 to 9 The mounting surface 100 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracket body 10 (in Figure 5 The central axis 5 is located in the Z direction; the support body 10 is provided with two elastic support members 11, each elastic support member 11 is provided with an abutment part 110, and the two elastic support members 11 are located on both sides of the central axis 5.

[0076] Specifically, the support body 10 has a ventilation section 6 at one end along the longitudinal direction and a relief groove 101 at the other end, with an elastic support member 11 connected to the side wall of the relief groove 101. The support body 10 has two elastic support members 11, with one end of each elastic support member 11 connected to the side wall of the relief groove 101 and the other end being a free end.

[0077] exist Figures 5 to 6 In this configuration, the free ends of the two elastic support members 11 extend from both sides of the bracket body 10 toward the central axis 5. The two elastic support members 11 can be connected to two opposite sidewalls of the same clearance groove 101 (i.e., only one clearance groove 101 can be provided on the bracket body 10). Alternatively, in some optional examples, each elastic support member 11 can be individually connected to a different clearance groove 101 (i.e., the bracket body 10 has clearance grooves 101 corresponding to each elastic support member 11). Figures 7 to 8 In this structure, the free ends of the two elastic support members 11 extend outward from both sides of the central axis 5 of the support body 10, and the two elastic support parts 11 can be connected to different clearance grooves 101; Figure 9 In the middle, the free ends of the two elastic support members 11 extend outward in a direction parallel to the central axis 5. The two elastic support members 11 can be connected to the same clearance groove 101 or to different clearance grooves.

[0078] It should be noted that the above-mentioned elastic support member 11 is a cantilever beam structure with one end fixed and the other end suspended. Optionally, the two elastic support members 11 can be arranged symmetrically about the central axis. Figures 5 to 8 In the middle, the free end of the elastic support 11 extends in the following direction. Figure 5 Y-axis in Figure 9 In the middle, the free end of the elastic support 11 is oriented in the following direction. Figure 9 In the Z direction. Simultaneously, the two elastic supports 11 can be connected in the Y direction (e.g., Figures 7 to 8 As shown), it can also be left unconnected (as shown). Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 9 (As shown). Similarly, those skilled in the art can flexibly configure the position of the contact portion 110 on the elastic support member 11 according to the pressing position of the electrode 3 and the heating element 2. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11The atomizing assembly also includes a base 4, which is provided with an electrode 3. The base 4 is connected to the bracket 1, and at least a portion of the sidewall of the electrode 3 abuts against the conductive part 21 on the side away from the elastic support member 11. In this embodiment, the electrode 3 is riveted to the base 4, and the heating element 2 is mounted on the mounting surface 100 of the bracket 1. The base 4 and the bracket 1 are fastened together. A mounting cavity is defined between the base 4 and the bracket 1, and the electrode 3 and the heating element 2 are housed in the mounting cavity. When the base 4 and the bracket 1 are fastened together, the electrode 3 presses against the conductive part 21 of the heating element 2. The electrode 3 and the conductive part 21 together compress the elastic support member 11. Under the influence of the elastic force of the elastic support member 11 itself, the elastic support member 11 provides a supporting force to the heating element 2 close to the electrode 3, thereby ensuring continuous contact between the heating element 2 and the electrode 3.

[0080] In some embodiments, the electrode 3 can also be fixedly connected to the base 4 by means of interference fitting or injection molding. The connection between the base 4 and the bracket 1 can also be a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, a plug-in connection, a pin connection, or an additional quick-release mechanism (such as a lever, a spring, etc.) can be used to achieve quick locking or unlocking.

[0081] In some embodiments, the support body 10 is a rigid component; and / or, the support body 10 and the elastic support 11 are integral parts made of the same material. Those skilled in the art will understand that a rigid component refers to a self-supporting structural component to support the heating element 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support body 10 may be made of plastic; the elastic support 11 may be made of materials such as rubber or plastic; both may be made of the same material (e.g., plastic) or different materials. When using different materials, the connection between the two different materials can be reinforced by welding, gluing, or other methods.

[0082] In this embodiment, the heating element 2 has a sheet-like structure, that is, the heating part 20 and the conductive part 21 are located on the same plane. In other embodiments, the heating element 2 may also be in a generally flat state, that is, adapted to the mounting surface 100 of the bracket 1, and the heating element 2 may also be a curved surface with a certain curvature, rather than a plane in the complete sense.

[0083] It should be noted that the electrical contact between electrode 3 and heating element 2 can be at least one of point contact, line contact, or surface contact. Specifically, for example... Figure 2 As shown, electrode 3 is a cylindrical component, and conductive part 21 is planar. The contact method between the two is planar to curved surface. In other embodiments, electrode 3 may also be frustum-shaped, prism-shaped, truncated pyramid-shaped, or other irregular shapes, and conductive part 21 may also be a curved surface or an irregular shape with partly planar and partly curved surfaces. The contact method between the two may also be planar to planar or curved to curved surface. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the atomizing assembly further includes an air duct 9 disposed on the base 4, and the bottom portion of the base 4 is also provided with an air inlet channel a. When the base 4 is connected to the bracket 1, the air duct 30 and the electrode 3 both abut against the side of the heating element 2 away from the bracket body 10 and the oil guide 8, and an atomizing channel c is enclosed between the air duct 9 and the heating part 20 of the heating element. The oil cup 7 is provided with an air outlet channel d communicating with the atomizing channel c, and the venting part 6 of the bracket body 10 is provided with an axially extending vent hole, through which the atomizing channel c communicates with the air outlet channel d. External air enters the atomizing channel c through the air inlet channel a and mixes with the aerosol formed by the heating element 2 heating the atomizing liquid, and is discharged outside the atomizing device through the air outlet channel d for inhalation by the user. In other embodiments, the air duct 9 may also be integrated with the base 4.

[0085] In some specific embodiments, the atomizing assembly also includes a sealing element 30 disposed outside the bracket 1 and the base 4. The sealing element 30 is used to seal the connection gap between the connecting oil cup 7 and the bracket 1 and the base 4 respectively, so as to reduce the risk of leakage of the liquid storage chamber d.

[0086] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
