[0002] Currently, the heating wire in electronic atomizers is typically secured using flexible components, such as wicking cotton or silicone, pressed onto a support. Because the area used to secure the heating wire is relatively soft, the fixation is weak, and the core heating element of the wire is easily deformed under pressure during assembly, leading to product defects and poor consistency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides an atomizing component and an electronic atomizer, wherein the pre-tightening force generated during the clamping process will not cause deformation of the core heating area of ​​the heating element.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] like Figures 1-10 As shown, this application provides an atomizing component for use in an electronic atomizer, including an atomizing bracket and a heating element 3 disposed within the atomizing bracket, wherein the heating element 3 may be configured as a heating wire.

[0033] The atomizing bracket includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2, which are detachably connected, for example, by a snap-fit ​​connection. A mounting chamber is formed between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 for mounting a heating element 3. Additionally, an oil guide 4 and an air duct 5 can also be mounted within this mounting chamber. The first bracket 1 has a first rigid portion 11, and the second bracket 2 has a second rigid portion 21. When the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected, the first rigid portion 11 and the second rigid portion 21 are positioned opposite each other to clamp the heating element 3. Here, the first rigid portion 11 and the second rigid portion 21 are made of a rigid material, such as plastic or ceramic. In a specific embodiment, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are made of rigid materials. The materials of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can be the same or different; for example, the first bracket 1 can be made of plastic, and the second bracket 2 can be made of ceramic.

[0034] The heating element 3 is provided with at least two extrusion portions 31, which are distributed on at least two opposite sides of the heating element 3. Here, the number of extrusion portions 31 can be two, three or four. Preferably, there are two extrusion portions 31, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the heating element 3.

[0035] When the heating element 3 is connected between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, the pressing part 31 of the heating element 3 is clamped between the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21. Since the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21 are made of rigid material, the heating element 3 is rigidly clamped between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. The pre-tightening force generated during the clamping process will not cause deformation of the core heating area of ​​the heating element 3, thereby improving the yield and consistency of the product.

[0036] It should be noted that the number of the first hardened portion 11 and the second hardened portion 21 matches the number of the extrusion portions 31, that is, at least two first hardened portions 11 and two hardened portions 21 are provided, and they are respectively located on both sides of the heating element 3. In a specific embodiment, an extrusion portion 31 may be provided between one first hardened portion 11 and another first hardened portion 11, or multiple extrusion portions 31 may be provided between one first hardened portion 11 and another first hardened portion 11.

[0037] In this design, one of the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21 is provided with a positioning protrusion 12, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 22. The positioning groove 22 allows the positioning protrusion 12 to be embedded. When the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected, the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21 are aligned, and the positioning protrusion 12 is embedded in the positioning groove 22. Here, the first bracket 1 is provided with the positioning protrusion 12, and the second bracket 2 is provided with the positioning groove 22. For example, the positioning protrusion 12 can be set as a positioning post. In this way, through the positioning of the positioning protrusion 12 and the positioning groove 22, the connection between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can be made more stable and reliable, preventing the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 from being misaligned or offset.

[0038] The extrusion part 31 is provided with a positioning hole. When the heating element 3 is connected between the first support 1 and the second support 2, the extrusion part 31 of the heating element 3 is clamped between the first hard part 11 and the second hard part 21, and the positioning protrusion 12 passes through the positioning hole. In this way, the extrusion part 31 can also be positioned by the positioning protrusion 12, thereby positioning the heating element 3 relative to the first support 1 and the second support 2, which can prevent the heating element 3 from shifting or deforming under force.

[0039] In some embodiments, the heating element 3 has a heating part 32, a skeleton part 33, and a pressing part 31. The heating part 32 (i.e., the core heating area of ​​the heating element 3) is configured with a filamentous structure. The skeleton part 33 is distributed in the outer peripheral area of ​​the heating part 32 and is connected to the heating part 32 to support the heating part 32. Specifically, the skeleton part 33 has an L-shaped first skeleton and a second skeleton, which are spaced apart and surround the outer periphery of the heating part 32. Here, the first skeleton and the second skeleton can partially surround the heating part 32, that is, the first skeleton and the second skeleton surround the adjacent three sides of the heating part 32. Alternatively, the first skeleton and the second skeleton can completely wrap the heating part 32, that is, the first skeleton and the second skeleton form a square area, and the heating part 32 is connected within the square area.

[0040] The extrusion part 31 is connected to the frame part 33, and the extrusion part 31 is located on the side of the frame part 33 away from the heating part 32, that is, the extrusion part 31 is connected to the outer side of the frame part 33. Here, two sets of extrusion parts 31 are provided, and are respectively connected to the first frame and the second frame. That is, one extrusion part 31 or two extrusion parts 31 can be connected to the first frame or the second frame. In this way, by rigidly clamping the extrusion part 31 between the first support 1 and the second support 2, the position of the frame part 33 of the heating element 3 can be fixed, thereby making the overall position of the heating element 3, especially the connection position of the heating part 32, more stable and reliable, improving the connection stability and connection strength of the heating element 3, and further preventing the heating element 3 from deforming under force.

[0041] like Figure 6As shown, the heating element 3 also includes a contact portion 34, which is connected to the frame portion 33. The contact portion 34 is used to connect electrodes so that the positive and negative terminals of the heating element 3 are connected to a power source. Specifically, two contact portions 34 are provided and are respectively connected to the first frame and the second frame. The frame portion 33 has a first side and a second side facing each other. The pressing portion 31 is connected to the frame portion 33 near the first side, and the contact portion 34 is connected to the frame portion 33 near the second side, so that the pressing portion 31 and the contact portion 34 are positioned far apart.

[0042] When the contact portion 34 is connected to the electrode, the contact portion 34 needs to be bent relative to the frame portion 33. That is, the contact portion 34 extends outside the atomizing bracket and is bent on the end face of the atomizing bracket. The electrode is inserted into the electrode hole on the end face of the atomizing bracket, and the contact portion 34 is pressed into the electrode hole, thereby realizing the electrical connection and fixation of the contact portion 34. In this way, the contact portion 34 is fixed by compression through electrode insertion, and the compression portion 31 is rigidly fixed by compression through the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. Since the contact portion 34 and the compression portion 31 are located at different and far apart positions of the frame portion 33, the frame can be stably fixed in multiple directions, which helps to reduce the number of compression portions 31, thereby simplifying the structure and processing technology.

[0043] The extrusion part 31 is symmetrically arranged relative to the heating part 32. When the heating element 3 is connected between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21 clamp the two sides of the extrusion part 31, which can keep the force on the two extrusion parts 31 balanced, that is, the force on the heating element 3 is relatively balanced, which can prevent the heating element 3 from being deformed by force during the assembly process.

[0044] In a specific design, the extrusion part 31 is connected to the bending position of the first frame and / or the second frame. Both the first and second frames have vertical first and second ribs. The extrusion part 31 is connected to the connection position of the first and second ribs (i.e., the bending position), and the extension direction of the extrusion part 31 is consistent with the first or second rib, so that the first or second frame forms a T-shape. This design of the position of the extrusion part 31 helps to improve the structural strength of the frame part 33 and provides better support for the internal heating part 32. Correspondingly, the contact part 34 can also be connected to the bending position of the first frame and / or the second frame to improve the structural strength of the frame part. For example, the first and second frames partially surround the adjacent three sides of the heating part 32, with only two extrusion parts 31 connected to the bending positions of the first and second frames respectively; or, the first and second frames completely surround the heating part 32, with one extrusion part 31 connected to the bending position of the first frame and one contact part 34 connected to the bending position of the second frame.

[0045] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly includes an oil guide 4 and an air duct 5. The oil guide 4 is embedded in a first support 1, and the air duct 5 is embedded in a second support 2, so that the oil guide 4 and the air duct 5 are respectively positioned on both sides of the heating element 3. During use, the oil can pass sequentially through the first support 1, the oil guide 4, the heating element 3, and the air duct 5. The heating element 3 heats the oil and converts it into an atomized form. The skeleton portion 33 of the heating element 3 is clamped between the oil guide 4 and the air duct 5, while the compression portion 31 is located outside the area where the oil guide 4 and the air duct 5 are located. Thus, the skeleton portion 33 of the heating element 3 is flexibly clamped by the oil guide 4 and the air duct 5, while the compression portion 31 of the heating element 3 is rigidly clamped by the first support 1 and the second support 2. This double-clamping assembly improves the connection stability and reliability of the heating element 3, thereby preventing deformation of the heating element 3 under stress.

[0046] Here, the air duct component 5 can be made of materials such as silicone, ceramic, or high-temperature resistant plastic. An atomizing groove 51 is provided on the side of the air duct component 5 closest to the heating element 3, so that the air duct component 5, the heating element, and the oil guide component 4 can form an atomizing chamber. The oil guide component 4 can be made of fibrous materials with capillary action, such as oil-guiding cotton or composite cotton, to absorb and wet the oil in the oil cup into the atomizing chamber. Both the oil guide component 4 and the heating element 3 are flat, allowing the heating element 3 to be better held between the oil guide component 4 and the air duct component 5.

[0047] The air passage component 5 has an atomizing groove 51 and a contact surface 52 on the side near the oil guide component 4. The atomizing groove 51 is a through groove through which the air passage component 5 passes. There are two contact surfaces 52, located on opposite sides of the atomizing groove 51. The heating element 3 has a heating part 32, a frame part 33, a squeezing part 31, and a contact part 34. The frame part 33 is sandwiched between the contact surfaces 52 of the oil guide component 4 and the air passage component 5. The heating part 32 is located between the atomizing groove 51 and the oil guide component 4. The squeezing part 31 and the contact part 34 are outside the joint area of ​​the oil guide component 4 and the air passage component 5. In this way, the air passage component 5 and the oil guide component 4 only sandwich the frame part 33 of the heating element 3, and the squeezing part 31, the contact part 34, and the heating part 32 are not subjected to force, reducing the stress on each part of the heating element 3 and improving the structural stability of the heating element 3.

[0048] In some preferred embodiments, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are arranged along the length direction of the atomizing bracket so that the length-to-width ratio of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 is relatively small. When the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected, there are sufficient connection positions, which can allow the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 to be inserted and snapped more deeply, which is beneficial to improving the connection strength of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2.

[0049] In the specific design, there are two extrusion sections 31. The arrangement direction of the two extrusion sections 31 is perpendicular to the height direction of the atomizing bracket. Since the arrangement direction of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 is the length direction of the atomizing bracket, the arrangement direction of the two extrusion sections 31 is the width direction of the atomizing bracket. In this way, the clamping degree of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 on the extrusion section 31 can be improved, and the connection reliability of the heating element 3 can be improved.

[0050] It is understandable that the length direction of the atomizer holder is... Figure 2 In the X direction, the height direction of the atomizer bracket is... Figure 2 In the Y direction, the width direction of the atomizer holder is Figure 6 The Z direction in the equation.

[0051] It should be noted that "parallel" in this application means one direction is parallel to another, but it is not limited to two directions being absolutely parallel. For example, one direction may be nearly parallel to another, which is defined here as an angle of less than 2 degrees. "Perpendicular" in this document means one direction is perpendicular to another, but it is not limited to two directions being absolutely perpendicular. For example, one direction may be nearly perpendicular to another, which is defined here as an angle of less than 92 degrees and greater than 88 degrees.

[0052] This application provides an electronic atomizer, including an atomizing component, a base assembly, and an oil cup, wherein the atomizing component is the same as in the above embodiment. The base assembly has an air inlet channel, and the oil cup has an air outlet channel. The air inlet channel and the air outlet channel are connected together through an atomizing chamber on the atomizing component. When the heating element 3 is connected between the first support 1 and the second support 2, the squeezing part 31 of the heating element 3 is clamped between the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21. Since the first rigid part 11 and the second rigid part 21 are made of rigid material, the heating element 3 is rigidly clamped between the first support 1 and the second support 2. The pre-tightening force generated during the clamping process will not cause deformation of the core heating area of ​​the heating element 3, thereby improving the product yield and consistency. The assembled atomizing component is installed in the oil cup. The squeezing force provided by the inner wall of the oil cup to the first support 1 and the second support 2 allows the heating element 3 to be stably clamped and installed between the first support 1 and the second support 2.
