Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and more particularly to an inhalable atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes, also known as virtual cigarettes or e-cigarettes, have a flavor similar to, and often offer more flavor options than, traditional cigarettes. They are primarily used for smoking cessation and as a substitute for cigarettes. Disposable e-cigarettes do not require replacement of cartridges or batteries, are inexpensive, have a compact and simple structure, and are used and discarded. However, once the cartridge has exceeded its lifespan, the flavor deteriorates, rendering the entire disposable e-cigarette unusable and resulting in high operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an atomizing device in which the cartridge and oil reservoir can be replaced separately, which helps to reduce the cost of use.

[0004] This application provides an atomizing device, including a cartridge, a device body, and a reservoir assembly. The cartridge includes a cartridge shell, an atomizing core assembly, and a connector. The cartridge shell has a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity inside. At least a portion of the connector is movably disposed within the first receiving cavity. The atomizing core assembly is disposed within the second receiving cavity. The connector has a channel inside. The device includes a device shell, and the cartridge shell is detachably connected to the device shell. One end of the device shell has a first opening. The reservoir assembly includes a reservoir detachably connected to the connector and exposed outside the device shell through the first opening. The reservoir is configured to communicate with the channel. The connector is configured to allow or prevent the channel from communicating with or isolating from the second receiving cavity when moving axially within the first receiving cavity, thereby allowing or preventing the liquid stored in the reservoir from flowing to the atomizing core assembly.

[0005] In this application, the cartridge shell is detachably connected to the e-cigarette body shell, and the oil reservoir is detachably connected to the cartridge. The cartridge and oil reservoir can be replaced separately, which helps to reduce the cost of use.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the vaporizer housing has a first edge, the outer wall of the cartridge housing has a first locking block, and the inner wall of the vaporizer housing has a first locking groove. The first locking groove extends to the first edge in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the atomizing device, and the first locking block engages in the first locking groove. Providing the first locking groove to extend to the first edge allows the first locking block to be inserted into the first locking groove from the first edge simultaneously with the insertion of the cartridge into the vaporizer housing along the axial direction of the atomizing device, thus simplifying assembly.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the first slot includes a first portion and a second portion connected to each other. The first portion extends to a first edge in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the atomizing device, and the second portion is perpendicular to the first portion. The first portion is used to guide the first locking block, and the second portion is used to restrict the movement of the first locking block along the axial direction of the atomizing device, which facilitates the assembly and fixation of the cartridge shell and the e-cigarette body shell.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the cartridge includes a mouthpiece with a second opening configured to allow the cartridge housing to be inserted into the mouthpiece in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device. The mouthpiece and the cartridge housing are detachably connected. This arrangement of the cartridge housing being inserted into the mouthpiece in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device facilitates easy assembly and disassembly of the cartridge housing and the mouthpiece by the user.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the mouthpiece has a second slot, and the outer wall of the cartridge shell has a second locking block. The second locking block is movably disposed in the second slot and engages with the second slot. The mouthpiece and the cartridge shell are detachably connected by the locking mechanism, which facilitates the user's easy assembly and disassembly of the cartridge shell and the mouthpiece.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the end of the cartridge housing facing away from the mouthpiece housing has two spaced-apart protrusions. The two protrusions are configured to abut against the mouthpiece in sequence during the insertion or removal of the cartridge housing from the mouthpiece, which helps to generate a tactile vibration during the assembly and disassembly of the cartridge housing and the mouthpiece, thereby improving the user experience.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the oil storage bottle assembly includes a cap with an opening and closing portion that remains closed unless punctured by external force. This opening and closing portion allows the cap to be removed from the connector when the storage bottle is connected, thus avoiding the inconvenience of cap removal and improving the user experience.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the opening and closing part is provided with a slit that penetrates the opening and closing part, and the slit can be opened under a certain pressure.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the connector is provided with an insertion part, a channel is provided in the insertion part, and the insertion part is configured to press against the opening and closing part to keep the opening and closing part in an open state so that the channel communicates with the oil storage bottle.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the connector has a connection hole, the oil reservoir is screwed into the connection hole, and the insertion part is located inside the connection hole.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the e-cigarette includes a battery, a battery holder, and a button. The battery is mounted on the battery holder, which is housed within the e-cigarette housing. The housing has a mounting hole, and the button is engaged with the battery holder and extends through the mounting hole to the outside of the e-cigarette. The user can remove the button from the outside of the e-cigarette and then directly remove the battery holder from the housing. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, the term "multiple" in this document, when used to describe the number of components, specifically means that the component is two or more.

[0028] Some embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides an atomizing device 1, including a mouthpiece 10, a cartridge 20, a rod 30, and an oil storage bottle assembly 40.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mouthpiece 10 has a suction port 10a at one end, and the cartridge 20 is connected to the side of the mouthpiece 10 opposite to the suction port 10a. The cartridge 20 includes a cartridge shell 21, an atomizing core assembly 22, and a connector 23. The cartridge shell 21 has a first receiving cavity 21a and a second receiving cavity 21b inside, which are arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. The axial direction of the atomizing device 1 is parallel to the axis of the suction port 10a. The cartridge shell 21 has a liquid inlet 21c that connects the first receiving cavity 21a and the second receiving cavity 21b. The atomizing core assembly 22 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 21b. The atomizing core assembly 22 includes a liquid storage cotton 221 and an atomizing core 222, both of which are housed in the second receiving cavity 21b, and the liquid storage cotton 221 surrounds the atomizing core 222 and is in contact with the atomizing core 222. The atomizing core 222 is connected to the suction port 10a. At least a portion of the connector 23 is movably disposed within the first receiving cavity 21a. The connector 23 has a channel 23a inside, which can communicate with the second receiving cavity 21b through the liquid inlet 21c.

[0031] The vaporizer 30 includes a vaporizer housing 31. A cartridge housing 21 is detachably connected to the vaporizer housing 31. The end of the vaporizer housing 31 away from the cartridge housing 21 has a first opening 31a. The e-liquid reservoir assembly 40 includes an e-liquid reservoir 41 for storing a volatile liquid, such as e-liquid. The e-liquid reservoir 41 is detachably connected to a connector 23 and housed within the vaporizer housing 31, with the reservoir 41 exposed outside the vaporizer housing 31 through the first opening 31a. The e-liquid reservoir 41 is configured to communicate with a channel 23a. The connector 23 is configured to allow or prevent the channel 23a from communicating with or isolating from a second receiving cavity 21b via a liquid inlet 21c when the first receiving cavity 21a moves axially within the atomizing device 1, thereby allowing or preventing the liquid stored in the e-liquid reservoir 41 from flowing to the atomizer core assembly 22. The atomizer core assembly 22 heats the liquid to generate an aerosol, which is discharged through a suction port 10a. The cartridge shell 21 is detachably connected to the e-cigarette rod shell 31, and the oil reservoir 41 is detachably connected to the cartridge 20 via a connector 23. The cartridge 20 and the oil reservoir 41 can be replaced separately, which helps to reduce the cost of use.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector 23 extends out of the cartridge housing 21 and is housed within the cigarette holder housing 31. The connector 23 has a first position and a second position. (See also...) Figure 3 When the connector 23 is in the first position, the bottom wall of the liquid storage bottle 41 is flush with the end of the cigarette holder 31 with the first opening 31a, and the channel 23a of the connector 23 is isolated from the liquid inlet 21c. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 When the connector 23 is in the second position, the bottom wall of the liquid storage bottle 41 and the end of the e-cigarette housing 31 with the first opening 31a are spaced a predetermined distance apart in the axial direction of the atomizing device 1, and the channel 23a of the connector 23 is connected to the liquid inlet 21c. In use, the user can push the liquid storage bottle 41 through the first opening 31a to move the connector 23 connected to the oil storage bottle 41 to the first position. Then, the user can continue to push the liquid storage bottle 41 and the connector 23 along the axial direction of the atomizing device 1 toward the side where the suction port 10a is located until the connector 23 is in the second position, and the channel 23a is connected to the second receiving cavity 21b.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The mouthpiece 10 has a first through hole 10b, and the first through hole 10b and the suction port 10a are located on the same side of the mouthpiece 10 in the axial direction. The cartridge shell 21 has a second through hole 21d, which connects the first receiving cavity 21a and the first through hole 10b. When the connector 23 is in the second position, a portion of the connector 23 extends out of the mouthpiece 10 through the second through hole 21d and the first through hole 10b in sequence, providing sufficient space for the connector 23 to move.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first receiving cavity 21a has a stop portion 21a1 on its side wall, which restricts the movement of the connector 23 toward the second through hole 21d. The stop portion 21a1 is located close to the second through hole 21d. When the connector 23 is in the first position, the connector 23 and the stop portion 21a1 are spaced apart by a preset distance in the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. This preset distance is the distance that the connector 23 can move in the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. When the connector 23 is in the second position, the connector abuts against the stop portion 21a1.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cartridge 20 also includes a pressing member 24, which is disposed on the connector 23 and exposed to the outside of the atomizing device 1 through the second through hole 21d and the first through hole 10b. The pressing member 24 is used by the user to press to move the connector 23 away from the end of the cartridge housing 21 having the second through hole 21d.

[0036] The cartridge casing 21 is housed within the cigarette holder casing 31. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The end of the cigarette holder 31 facing away from the first opening 31a has a first edge 310, and the inner wall of the cigarette holder 31 has a first groove 311, which extends to the first edge 310 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. The outer wall of the cartridge housing 21 has a first locking block 211, which engages with the first groove 311. During assembly, the cartridge 20 is inserted into the cigarette holder 31 along the axial direction of the atomizing device 1, and simultaneously the first locking block 211 is inserted into the first groove 311 from the first edge 310. The extension of the first groove 31 to the first edge 310 simplifies assembly.

[0037] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6The first slot 311 includes a first portion 311a and a second portion 311b connected to each other. The first portion 311a extends to a first edge 310 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1, and the second portion 311b is perpendicular to the first portion 311a. The first portion 311a guides the first locking block 211 to guide the cartridge shell 21 into the e-cigarette housing 31. The second portion 311b restricts the movement of the first locking block 211 along the axial direction of the atomizing device 1, thereby fixing the cartridge shell 21 relative to the e-cigarette housing 31.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mouthpiece 10 has a second opening 10c, which is configured to allow the cartridge shell 21 to be inserted into the mouthpiece 10 through the second opening 10c in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing device 1. Specifically, the second opening 10c is located on the side of the mouthpiece 10 opposite to the inhalation port 10a and on the side of the mouthpiece 10 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing device 1. During assembly, the cartridge 20 can be inserted into the mouthpiece 10 through the second opening 10c in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing device 1 until the cartridge shell 21 abuts against the inner wall of the mouthpiece 10. The arrangement of the cartridge shell 21 being inserted into the mouthpiece 10 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing device 1 facilitates the user's assembly of the cartridge 20 and the mouthpiece 10.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector 23 is accommodated in the first through hole 10b of the mouthpiece 10. The size of the first through hole 10b is larger than the size of the connector 23 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. When assembling the cartridge 20 and the mouthpiece 10, after the connector 23 is inserted into the first through hole 10b, the cartridge 20 is further inserted into the mouthpiece 10 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. At this time, the connector 23 moves within the first through hole 10b in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1.

[0040] The mouthpiece 10 is detachably connected to the cartridge housing 21. (See also...) Figure 2 and Figure 7 The outer wall of the cartridge shell 21 has a second locking block 212, and the mouthpiece 10 has a second locking groove 12. The second locking block 212 is movably disposed in and engaged with the second locking groove 12. In a direction perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing device 1, the size of the second locking groove 12 is larger than the size of the second locking block 212. When the cartridge 20 is inserted into the mouthpiece 10 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing device 1, the second locking block 212 can move within the second locking groove 12. This detachable connection between the mouthpiece 10 and the cartridge shell 21 allows for individual replacement of the cartridge 20 and the mouthpiece 10, reducing operating costs.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mouthpiece 10 and the cartridge shell 21 are integrally formed, which helps to simplify the manufacturing process.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The cartridge housing 21 has two spaced protrusions 213 at one end opposite to the mouthpiece housing 31. These two protrusions 213 are configured to sequentially abut against the mouthpiece 10 during insertion or removal of the cartridge housing 21 from the mouthpiece 10. The two protrusions 213 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1. Viewed along the axial direction of the atomizing device 1, the two protrusions 213 are located between the second through hole 21d and the suction port 10a. When the cartridge 20 is inserted into or removed from the mouthpiece 10 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizing device 1, the two protrusions 213 sequentially abut against the mouthpiece 10. The two protrusions 213 do not abut against the mouthpiece 10 simultaneously; when one protrusion 213 abuts against the mouthpiece 10, the other protrusion 213 does not abut against the mouthpiece 10. During the movement, when the protrusion 213 that abuts against the mouthpiece 10 moves away from the mouthpiece 10 and no longer abuts against the mouthpiece 10, a vibrating sensation is generated, which is beneficial for the user to assemble.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 The oil storage assembly 40 includes a cap 42 for sealing the opening of the oil storage bottle 41. The cap 42 can be at least partially inserted into the oil storage bottle 41 to block the opening of the oil storage bottle 41. The cap 42 has an opening and closing part 421, which remains closed in the absence of external force to block the opening of the oil storage bottle 41 and prevent liquid leakage from the oil storage bottle 41. The opening and closing part 421 can be opened under external force to allow liquid in the oil storage bottle 41 to flow out.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 The opening / closing portion 421 has a slit 4211 that penetrates it. The slit 4211 can open under pressure, allowing liquid in the oil reservoir 41 to flow out. Without external force, the slit 421 remains closed to prevent liquid from flowing out of the oil reservoir 41. The slit 4211 is in a straight line shape. Multiple slits 4211 can be present, intersecting at the center of the opening / closing portion 421.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8The connector 23 is provided with an insertion part 231, and a channel 23a is disposed within the insertion part 231. The insertion part 231 is configured to press against the opening and closing part 421, keeping the opening and closing part 421 in an open state so that the channel 23a communicates with the oil reservoir. When the oil reservoir 41 is connected to the connector 23, the insertion part 231 presses against the opening and closing part 421, keeping the cut 4211 in an open state; when the connector 23 is in the second position state, the liquid in the oil reservoir 41 can flow into the second receiving cavity 21b in sequence through the cut 4211, the channel 23a and the liquid inlet 21c to provide e-liquid to the atomizing core assembly 22.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 8 The connector 23 has a connecting hole 232, and the insertion part 231 is located inside the connecting hole 232. The oil storage bottle 41 is screwed into the connecting hole 232. During the process of screwing the oil storage bottle 41 into the connecting hole 232, the insertion part 231 located inside the connecting hole 232 can pierce the opening and closing part 421 as the oil storage bottle 41 moves.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The cigarette holder 30 includes a battery 32, a battery bracket 33, and a button 34. The battery 32 is mounted on the battery bracket 33, which is housed within the cigarette holder housing 31. The cigarette holder housing 31 has a mounting hole 312 that connects the interior and exterior of the cigarette holder housing 31. The button 34 is engaged with the battery bracket 33 and extends through the mounting hole 312 to the exterior of the cigarette holder 31. The battery bracket 33 is secured to the cigarette holder housing 31 by the button 34. The user can remove the button 34 from the exterior of the cigarette holder 31 and then directly remove the battery bracket 33 from the cigarette holder housing 31.
