Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomization technology, specifically to an atomizer and an aerosol generating device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol generating devices are used to generate aerosols for users to inhale.

[0003] The aerosol generating device includes an atomizer and a power supply assembly, which are detachably connected. When connected, the atomizer has a first electrical connector, and the power supply assembly has a second electrical connector. The battery cell of the power supply assembly can supply electrical energy to the atomizing core within the atomizer through the contacting first and second electrical connectors, enabling the atomizer to atomize the aerosol generating matrix.

[0004] Due to limitations such as the size and arrangement of the battery cells in the power supply assembly and the arrangement of the atomizing core in the atomizer, the second electrical connector is staggered from the atomizing core in the installation direction perpendicular to the atomizer and power supply assembly. Therefore, a large-sized connection port needs to be provided on the surface of the atomizer mounting base to facilitate the installation of the first electrical connector and its contact with the second electrical connector. However, the large-sized connection port is not conducive to the sealing performance of the atomizer and can easily cause the aerosol generation matrix and condensate to leak to the outside of the atomizer through the connection port. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an atomizer and aerosol generating device that facilitates reducing the size of the communication port on the surface of the mounting base.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model embodiment provides an atomizer for electrical connection with a power supply assembly, comprising:

[0008] The mounting assembly includes a mounting base and a mounting shell. The mounting base has a mounting channel, and the mounting shell has an air outlet channel and a connecting hole. The air outlet channel extends along a first direction and communicates with the outside of the atomizer. One end of the mounting channel along a second direction has a connecting port. The first direction intersects the second direction. The mounting base and the mounting shell together form a storage cavity. The connecting hole connects the connecting port to the outside of the atomizer.

[0009] The atomizing core is disposed within the mounting base;

[0010] A first electrical connector is at least partially disposed within the mounting channel and electrically connected to the atomizing core. The first electrical connector includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion electrically connected to each other. At least a portion of the first connecting portion extends along the first direction. The second connecting portion is used to electrically connect the power supply assembly through the connecting port and the connecting hole, and the extension direction of at least a portion of the second connecting portion intersects the first direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion is electrically connected to the atomizing core and extends along the first direction, and the second connecting portion extends along the second direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, a portion of the first connecting portion extends along a first direction, and another portion extends along a second direction;

[0013] And / or, a portion of the second connecting portion extends along a first direction and another portion extends along a second direction.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first electrical connector includes a plurality of electrical connecting rods, each of which extends in a straight line. The plurality of electrical connecting rods in contact with each other or a single electrical connecting rod forms the first connection portion, and the plurality of electrical connecting rods in contact with each other or a single electrical connecting rod forms the second connection portion.

[0015] In some embodiments, the electrical connecting rod includes a first sub-rod with a positioning groove that is open toward a side of the first sub-rod perpendicular to its extension direction, and another electrical connecting rod that contacts the first sub-rod is embedded in the positioning groove through the open position of the positioning groove.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first electrical connector is an integral structure.

[0017] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first connection extends along the first direction toward a direction away from the storage cavity.

[0018] In some embodiments, the mounting channel includes a first sub-channel, a mounting groove, and a second sub-channel. The first sub-channel extends along the first direction, and the mounting groove is located on the side of the first sub-channel away from the storage cavity along the first direction and the two are connected. The side of the mounting groove away from the mounting channel is open. The second sub-channel extends along the second direction, with an opening at one end and the other end connected to the end of the first sub-channel away from the storage cavity along the first direction. The first electrical connector includes two electrical connecting rods. At least a portion of one electrical connecting rod passes through the first sub-channel and is electrically connected to the atomizing core. At least a portion of the other electrical connecting rod passes through the second sub-channel and is electrically connected to the electrical connecting rod in the first sub-channel.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first sub-channel is opened at one end away from the mounting groove along the first direction to form a mounting port on the side perpendicular to the first direction, and the atomizing core cover is disposed at the mounting port;

[0020] And / or, the mounting assembly further includes an end cap that covers the open position of the mounting groove, the end cap having an air inlet that connects the mounting groove to the outside of the atomizer.

[0021] This application also provides an aerosol generating device, including a power supply assembly and an atomizer as described in any of the foregoing embodiments. The power supply assembly is located on one side of the atomizer along the second direction. The power supply assembly includes a battery cell and a second electrical connector that are electrically connected to each other. The second electrical connector contacts the second connection portion along the second direction to make the two electrically connected.

[0022] The atomizer in this embodiment of the application, by providing a first connecting portion that extends at least partially along the first direction and is not used to contact the power supply component, is advantageous in adapting to the arrangement requirements of the communication port and the atomizing core in the first direction. When the size of the first electrical connector along the first direction is fixed, by increasing the size of the first connecting portion along the first direction, the size of the communication port along the first direction can be reduced. This is beneficial in reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the installation channel through the communication port, and also in reducing the adverse effects of the arrangement of the communication port on the arrangement of the sealing area inside the installation component.

[0040] This application provides an atomizer 10, see the following embodiment. Figures 1 to 4 The atomizer 10 is used for electrical connection with the power supply assembly 20. The atomizer 10 includes a mounting assembly 11, an atomizing coil 12, and a first electrical connector 13.

[0041] The mounting assembly 11 includes a mounting base 111 and a mounting shell 112. The mounting base 111 has a mounting channel 111a, and the mounting shell 112 has an air outlet channel 112a and a connecting hole 112b. The air outlet channel 112a extends along a first direction and communicates with the outside of the atomizer 10. One end of the mounting channel 111a along a second direction has a connecting port 111aa. The first direction and the second direction intersect. The mounting base 111 and the mounting shell 112 together form a storage cavity. The connecting hole 112b connects the connecting port 111aa to the outside of the atomizer 10.

[0042] The atomizing core 12 is located inside the mounting base 111.

[0043] The first electrical connector 13 is at least partially disposed within the mounting channel 111a and electrically connected to the atomizing core 12. The first electrical connector 13 includes a first connecting portion 131 and a second connecting portion 132 electrically connected to each other. At least a portion of the first connecting portion 131 extends along a first direction. The second connecting portion 132 is used to electrically connect to the power supply assembly 20 through a connecting port 111aa and a connecting hole 112b. The extension direction of at least a portion of the second connecting portion 132 intersects the first direction.

[0044] It is understandable that the atomizing core 12 is in fluid communication with the air outlet channel 112a.

[0045] The storage chamber is used to store the aerosol generation matrix. The atomizing core 12 isolates the storage chamber from the installation channel 111a, so that the aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber can contact the atomizing core 12 and reduce the probability that the aerosol generation matrix flows into the installation channel 111a and leaks out through the connection port 111aa.

[0046] The atomizing core 12 can contact the aerosol generating matrix inside the atomizer 10. The first electrical connector 13 transfers electrical energy to the atomizing core 12. The atomizing core 12 converts the electrical energy into heat energy or other forms of energy to atomize the aerosol generating matrix. The atomized aerosol generating matrix mixes with the airflow inside the atomizer 10 to form an aerosol. The aerosol is discharged through the air outlet channel 112a and then inhaled by the user.

[0047] The inner wall of the installation channel 111a serves to constrain and position the first electrical connector 13, so as to facilitate the first electrical connector 13 to maintain contact with the atomizing core 12.

[0048] It is understandable that the first electrical connector 13 may be located entirely inside the mounting channel 111a, and a portion of the power assembly 20 may extend through the connection port 111aa into the interior of the mounting channel 111a to contact the first electrical connector 13 and achieve electrical connection between the power assembly 20 and the first electrical connector 13; alternatively, a portion of the first electrical connector 13 may extend through the connection port 111aa to the outside of the mounting assembly 11 to contact the power assembly 20 and achieve electrical connection between the two.

[0049] It is understandable that the first connecting part 131 can directly contact the atomizing core 12; or the first connecting part 131 can not directly contact the atomizing core 12, but can achieve electrical connection with the atomizing core 12 through other parts of the first electrical connector 13.

[0050] At least a portion of the first connecting portion 131 extends along the first direction, so that the atomizing core 12 can be offset from the connecting port 111aa along the first direction, so as to adapt to the respective arrangement positions of the connecting port 111aa and the atomizing core 12 in the atomizer 10, which is beneficial to optimizing the arrangement of the components in the atomizer 10; it is also beneficial to reduce the size of the second connecting portion 132 along the first direction, and thus to reduce the size of the connecting port 111aa in the first direction.

[0051] Understandably, the area where the mounting base 111 contacts the mounting housing 112 needs to be sealed to form a sealed area, thereby reducing the probability of aerosol generation matrix leakage in the storage cavity. The communication port 111aa of the mounting base 111 needs to be connected to the communication hole 112b of the mounting housing 112. Therefore, the size of the communication port 111aa directly affects the arrangement of the sealed area between the mounting base 111 and the mounting housing 112.

[0052] At least a portion of the extension direction of the second connection 132 intersects the first direction, which is beneficial to bring the first electrical connector 13 closer to the communication port 111aa, thereby reducing the size of the power supply assembly 20 extending into the mounting channel 111a through the communication port 11aa.

[0053] In this embodiment, the atomizer 10, by providing a first connecting portion 131 that extends at least partially along the first direction and is not used to contact the power supply assembly 20, is advantageous in adapting to the arrangement requirements of the communication port 111aa and the atomizing core 12 in the first direction. When the size of the first electrical connector 13 along the first direction is fixed, by increasing the size of the first connecting portion 131 along the first direction, the size of the communication port 111aa along the first direction can be reduced, which is also beneficial in reducing the adverse effects of the arrangement of the communication port 111aa on the arrangement of the sealing area inside the mounting assembly 11.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The first connecting part 131 is located on the side of the second connecting part 132 that is close to the atomizing core 12 along the second direction.

[0055] Mounting base 111 can be a one-piece structure; or it can be formed by splicing together multiple parts.

[0056] In some embodiments, the atomizer 10 further includes a seal 113, which is sandwiched between the mounting shell 112 and the mounting base 111. The seal 113 is capable of elastic deformation to achieve a seal on the contact portion between the mounting shell 112 and the mounting base 111.

[0057] It is understood that the seal 113 may be arranged around the periphery of the communication port 111aa; or the communication port 111aa may be located outside the contact area between the seal 113 and the mounting base 111.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0059] Understandably, the first electrical connector 13 bends and extends.

[0060] It is understandable that the first electrical connector 13 is made of a conductive material, such as copper or aluminum.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and 6 At least a portion of the second connecting portion 132 extends along the second direction.

[0062] This is beneficial for increasing the size of the first electrical connector 13 along the second direction, and for making the first electrical connector 13 as close as possible to or extending beyond the communication port 111aa, so as to achieve electrical connection with the power supply assembly 20.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The portion of the second connecting part 132 that is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 20 extends along the second direction, which further facilitates reducing the size of the communication port 111aa.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first connecting part 131 is electrically connected to the atomizing core 12 and extends along the first direction, while the second connecting part 132 extends along the second direction.

[0065] In other words, the first electrical connector 13 bends only once, and the first connecting part 131 and the second connecting part 132 each extend in a straight line direction.

[0066] This simplifies the structure of the first electrical connector 13, reduces the manufacturing and assembly costs of the first electrical connector 13, and also simplifies the arrangement of the installation channel 111a, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the installation channel 111a.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 A portion of the first connecting part 131 extends along a first direction, and another portion extends along a second direction.

[0068] In other words, the first connecting part 131 bends and extends.

[0069] This is beneficial for increasing the size of the first electrical connector 13 along the second direction, and for making the second connection part 132 as close as possible to or extending beyond the communication port 111aa, so as to achieve electrical connection with the power supply assembly 20.

[0070] The number of bends in the first connecting part 131 is unlimited; it can be once or multiple times.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 A portion of the second connecting portion 132 extends along the first direction, and another portion extends along the second direction.

[0072] In other words, the second connecting part 132 bends and extends.

[0073] This further helps to reduce the size of the connecting port 111aa along the first direction.

[0074] The number of bends in the second connecting part 132 is unlimited; it can be once or multiple times.

[0075] The specific manner in which the first electrical connector 13 is formed is not limited.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first electrical connector 13 includes a plurality of electrical connecting rods 133, each electrical connecting rod 133 extending in a straight line. The plurality of electrical connecting rods 133 in contact with each other or a single electrical connecting rod 133 forms a first connecting part 131, and the plurality of electrical connecting rods 133 in contact with each other or a single electrical connecting rod 133 forms a second connecting part 132.

[0077] The electrical connecting rod 133 extends in a straight line. On the one hand, this facilitates the installation of the electrical connecting rod 133 into the installation channel 111a in a straight line, which simplifies the structure of the installation channel 111a and the assembly method of the electrical connecting rod 133. On the other hand, it simplifies the manufacturing process of the first electrical connector 13 itself and reduces production costs.

[0078] The first connection portion 131 may be formed by a single electrical connecting rod 133 itself, which extends along a first direction; or multiple electrical connecting rods 133 may contact each other in sequence to jointly form the first connection portion 131, and one or more of the electrical connecting rods 133 may extend along the first direction.

[0079] The second connection portion 132 may be formed by a single electrical connecting rod 133 itself, which extends along the second direction; or multiple electrical connecting rods 133 may contact each other in sequence to jointly form the first connection portion 131, and one or more of the electrical connecting rods 133 may extend along the second direction.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 4The electrical connecting rod 133 includes a first sub-rod 1331. The first sub-rod 1331 is provided with a positioning groove 1331a. The positioning groove 1331a is open on the side of the first sub-rod 1331 that is perpendicular to its extension direction. Another electrical connecting rod 133 that contacts the first sub-rod 1331 is embedded in the positioning groove 1331a through the open position of the positioning groove 1331a.

[0081] Thus, the inner wall of the positioning groove 1331a and the electrical connecting rod 133 embedded in the positioning groove 1331a can achieve a stop engagement along the extension direction of the first sub-rod 1331, which facilitates the positioning of the first sub-rod 1331 and the electrical connecting rod 133 that it cooperates with, and facilitates the fixing of their positions in the installation channel 111a, reducing the risk of electrical conduction failure between the various electrical connecting rods 133 due to vibration, collision and other factors during the use of the atomizer 10.

[0082] The specific method of forming the positioning groove 1331a is not limited.

[0083] For example, see Figure 4 The first sub-rod 1331 includes a rod body 1331b and two stop rings 1331c. The rod body 1331b extends in a straight line, and the stop rings 1331c are arranged around the outer surface of the rod body 1331b perpendicular to its extension direction. The two stop rings 1331c are spaced apart from each other along the extension direction of the rod body 1331b. The two stop rings 1331c and the rod body 1331b together form a positioning groove 1331a.

[0084] This helps to reduce the difficulty of embedding the electrical connecting rod 133 that cooperates with the first sub-rod 1331 into the positioning groove 1331a, and facilitates the cooperation between the first sub-rod 1331 and other electrical connecting rods 133.

[0085] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The side surface of the stop ring 1331c facing the other stop ring 1331c is inclined, and the positioning groove 1331a gradually expands in the direction away from the rod body 1331b. In this way, the inclined surface of the stop ring 1331c can guide the electrical connecting rod 133 embedded in the positioning groove 1331a.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first electrical connector 13 is an integral structure. That is, the first electrical connector 13 is a single part, and the first connecting portion 131 and the second connecting portion 132 are different parts of the first electrical connector 13.

[0087] This helps reduce the number of parts in the atomizer 10 and simplifies the assembly steps in the manufacturing process of the atomizer 10.

[0088] The mounting assembly 11 also includes an air intake channel 111b, which connects the air outlet channel 112a to the outside of the atomizer 10. A portion of the surface of the atomizing core 12 forms part of the inner wall of the air intake channel 111b. During the user's inhalation of the aerosol, outside air enters the mounting assembly 11 through the air intake channel 111b and mixes with the aerosol matrix generated by the atomizing core 12.

[0089] In some embodiments, the intake channel 111b and the mounting channel 111a are independent of each other, and one end of the mounting channel 111a is connected to the intake channel 111b so that the first electrical connector 13 extends out of the mounting channel 111a and enters the mounting channel 111a; in other embodiments, the mounting assembly 11 has a common cavity, which is used to form a part of the intake channel 111b and a part of the mounting channel 111a. That is, the intake channel 111b and the mounting channel 111a share a part of the space within the mounting assembly 11, which helps to make the structure of the mounting assembly 11 more compact and improve the space utilization.

[0090] It is understandable that both the vent passage 112a and the installation passage 111a are isolated from the storage cavity.

[0091] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 At least a portion of the first connecting portion 131 extends in a first direction toward the direction away from the storage cavity.

[0092] This helps to reduce interference between the arrangement of the installation channel 111a and the first electrical connector 13 and the arrangement of the liquid storage chamber 10a.

[0093] In some embodiments, the mounting housing 112 has an installation space inside, which is open on one side along a first direction. An air outlet channel 112a passes through the mounting housing 112 along the first direction and communicates with the installation space. The mounting base 111 covers the open position of the installation space to form a storage cavity. Thus, during the assembly of the mounting assembly 11, the mounting base 111 can seal the storage cavity along the first direction.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Figure 4The installation channel 111a includes a first sub-channel 111ab, an installation groove 111ac, and a second sub-channel 111ad. The first sub-channel 111ab extends along a first direction. The installation groove 111ac is located on the side of the first sub-channel 111ab away from the storage cavity along the first direction and the two are connected. The side of the installation groove 111ac away from the installation channel 111a is open. The second sub-channel 111ad extends along a second direction. One end of the second sub-channel 111ad is open and the other end is connected to the end of the first sub-channel 111ab away from the storage cavity along the first direction. The first electrical connector 13 includes two electrical connecting rods 133. At least a portion of one electrical connecting rod 133 passes through the first sub-channel 111ab and is electrically connected to the atomizing core 12. At least a portion of the other electrical connecting rod 133 passes through the second sub-channel 111ad and is electrically connected to the electrical connecting rod 133 in the first sub-channel 111ab.

[0095] Thus, during the assembly and installation of component 11, one electrical connecting rod 133 can be inserted into the first sub-channel 111ab from the open position of the mounting slot 111ac, and another electrical connecting rod 133 can be installed into the second sub-channel 111ad from the opening on the side away from the first sub-channel 111ab along the second direction, which helps to simplify the assembly process of installing the first electrical connector 13.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The first sub-channel 111ab is opened at one end away from the mounting groove 111ac along the first direction, forming a mounting port on the side perpendicular to the first direction, and the atomizing core 12 is placed on the mounting port.

[0097] This ensures that the electrical connecting rod 133 in the first sub-channel 111ab does not come into contact with the atomizing core 12 along the first direction, reducing the probability that the atomizing core 12 will be damaged or displaced due to the electrical connecting rod 133 applying force to it during the assembly process.

[0098] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 A portion of the inner wall of the first sub-channel 111ab forms a stop surface, which faces the mounting groove 111ac in the first direction. The electrical connecting rod 133 can abut against the stop surface in the first direction to achieve positional constraint of the electrical connecting rod 133 within the first sub-channel 111ab.

[0099] In some embodiments with a stop ring 1331c, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 The stop ring 1331c abuts against the stop surface along the first direction to limit the position of the electrical connecting rod 133 within the first sub-channel 111ab.

[0100] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5The mounting assembly 11 also includes an end cap 114, which covers the open position of the mounting groove 111ac. The end cap 114 has an air inlet 114a, which connects the mounting groove 111ac to the outside of the atomizer 10.

[0101] In other words, the space of the mounting slot 111ac can be used as part of the mounting channel 111a or as part of the air intake channel 111b, which helps to make the structure of the mounting component 11 more compact and improve space utilization.

[0102] It is understood that the mounting slot 111ac forms part of the common cavity in the aforementioned embodiments.

[0103] This application also provides an aerosol generating device, see below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The aerosol generating device includes a power supply assembly 20 and an atomizer 10 as described in any of the preceding embodiments. The power supply assembly 20 is located on one side of the atomizer 10 along the second direction. The power supply assembly 20 includes a battery cell 21 and a second electrical connector 22 that are electrically connected to each other. The second electrical connector 22 contacts the second connection portion 132 along the second direction to make the two electrically connected.

[0104] Thus, by extending the first connecting portion 131 along the first direction, it is beneficial to adapt the first electrical connector 13 to different positions of the second electrical connector 22 in the first direction, thereby facilitating the adaptation of the arrangement relationship between the battery cell 21 and the second electrical connector 22 within the power supply assembly 20.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second electrical connector 22 extends along a second direction and is telescoping along the second direction, thereby facilitating the maintenance of an electrical connection between the second electrical connector 22 and the first electrical connector 13.

[0106] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The power assembly 20 includes a first adsorption element 14, and the atomizer 10 includes a second adsorption element 23. The first adsorption element 14 and the second adsorption element 23 can generate an adsorption force along a second direction so that the atomizer 10 and the power assembly 20 remain in contact.

[0107] It is understood that at least a portion of at least one of the first connecting portion 131 and the second connecting portion 132 extends along the second direction, which helps to reduce the distance between the first adsorption member 14 and the second adsorption member 23 so that a stronger adsorption force is generated between them, thereby reducing the probability of the atomizer 10 separating from the power supply component 20 during the use of the aerosol generating device.

[0108] The first adsorption element 14 and the second adsorption element 23 can be magnets.

[0109] The various embodiments / implementations of this utility model can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0110] The above description is merely a preferred technical solution in the embodiments of this utility model and is not intended to limit the protection scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
