Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization device with adaptive airflow regulation. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pod-based electronic cigarettes generally include a casing containing a battery and a circuit board connected to the battery. The casing has an opening at the top for holding the cartridge. A mouthpiece is located at the top of the cartridge, and a seal is located at the bottom. An air passage is formed between the seal and the mouthpiece, with the upper part of the air passage connecting to the mouthpiece and the air inlet of the seal. An atomizing component is located within the passage and connected to the circuit board. When powered, the atomizing component generates heat, heating the e-liquid into vapor. An e-liquid reservoir is formed between the inner wall of the cartridge, the seal, and the outer wall of the air passage. The bottom of the casing has an air intake channel with an airflow adjustment switch. Pushing the switch adjusts the cross-sectional area of ​​the air intake channel, thus regulating the amount of outside air flowing in. During inhalation, outside air flows in through the air intake channel, then into the air passage, carrying away the vapor atomized by the atomizing component, which then flows out from the mouthpiece.

[0003] To accommodate different suction resistance levels for different individuals, manual operation of the airflow adjustment switch is generally required during suction to adjust the suction resistance based on the air intake volume. This process necessitates repeated operation of the airflow adjustment switch to find the appropriate nozzle, which is inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an electronic cigarette to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0033] the following Figure 1-8 An adaptive airflow regulating atomizing device, also known as an adaptive airflow regulating electronic cigarette, includes a main body 1 and an atomizer 2, also known as a cartridge. The atomizer 2 can be replaced with different types, but care must be taken to ensure that it is compatible with the main body 1.

[0034] The main body 1 includes a shell 11, inside which a bracket 12 is installed. The bracket 12 also houses a circuit board and a battery, with the battery connected to the circuit board. The upper part of the main body 1 has an opening 15 for easy insertion and replacement of the atomizer 2. The atomizer 2 includes a plastic shell 21, with a mouthpiece 26 at the upper part and a base 22 at the lower part. The mouthpiece 26 and the base 22 are connected by an atomization channel 23, within which an atomization component 25 is installed. An oil reservoir is formed between the inner wall of the plastic shell 21, the outer wall of the atomization channel 23, and the upper surface of the base 22. The oil reservoir is filled with e-liquid. The atomization component 25 is used to heat the e-liquid, which then turns into vapor that flows out from the mouthpiece 26. The battery provides power to the atomization component 25 through the circuit board, and the components can be connected by leads.

[0035] In this design, one end of the main body 1 has an opening 15, and the main body 1 is provided with an air intake channel 121. A movable part 14 is installed inside the air intake channel 121, and the air intake channel 121 connects to the opening 15. The opening 15 is used to install an atomizer 2, and the atomizer 2 is equipped with a magnetic part 24. When the movable part 14 is in the first position, the size of the gap between the movable part 14 and the air intake channel 121 is S1, and the flow rate of outside air through the gap between the movable part 14 and the air intake channel 121 is Q1. When the movable part is in the second position, due to the magnetic part... The movable part 14 is driven to move to the second position. The size of the gap between the movable part 14 and the air intake channel 121 is S2, where S1 is not equal to S2. At this time, the flow rate of outside air through the gap between the movable part 14 and the air intake channel 121 is Q2, so Q1 is not equal to Q2. This can effectively adjust the flow rate of outside air, also known as the flow rate of outside air per unit time, which facilitates the adjustment of suction resistance. Simply assemble the atomizer 2 into the opening 15 to adjust the flow rate of outside air in the air intake channel 121. The operation is simple and convenient, and there is no need to manually adjust the airflow size.

[0036] The first and second positions are further described below: When the atomizer is not installed in the opening, or when the atomizer is installed in the opening but the magnet in the atomizer is insufficient to drive the moving part, or the movement of the moving part is slight and negligible, or when the atomizer does not contain a magnet, the moving part is in the first position. When the moving part is in the first position, lung inhalation mode can be performed. When the atomizer is installed in the opening, the moving part is moved to the second position by the attraction of the magnet, and mouth inhalation mode can be performed.

[0037] To facilitate understanding of this design, when Q1 is greater than Q2, for example, when the movable part 14 is in the first position, outside air can pass completely through the air intake channel 121 without any blockage by the movable part 14, and the draw resistance is relatively low. When the movable part 14 is in the second position, some of the movable parts 14 are blocked in the air intake channel 121, or all of the movable parts 14 enter the air intake channel 121, and the draw resistance increases. After the atomizer 2 is installed, the movable parts 14 move automatically to adjust the draw resistance without the need for manual airflow adjustment.

[0038] The movable component 14 is a magnet, and the magnetic component 24 has the opposite polarity to the magnet, so that the magnetic component 24 can attract the magnet and move to the second position. In terms of polarity, the magnetic component 24 is always the S pole, and the magnet is the N pole. Through the principle of mutual attraction between them, the movable component 14 can move from the first position to the second position. This design allows for precise control of the distance between the first and second positions, since the magnetic force of the magnetic component 24 and the magnet can be calculated or measured experimentally.

[0039] Furthermore, the movable component 14 can be a sphere, such as an iron ball, and the magnetic component 24 can be a magnet. The sphere is attracted to move by the magnet, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the airflow. Magnets and iron balls are convenient, inexpensive, and can be mass-produced. Alternatively, the movable component 14 can be a sphere, and the magnetic component 24 can be an electromagnet. The electromagnet attracts the sphere to move, achieving the same purpose. This electromagnet design is slightly more expensive than the magnet design, but the attraction force of the electromagnet can be controlled as needed. For example, the required magnetic force can be controlled by adjusting the current of the electromagnet.

[0040] Furthermore, the main body 1 includes a shell 11, and a bracket 12 is installed inside the shell 11. The upper part of the shell 11 has the opening 15, and the top of the bracket 12 is exposed through the opening 15. The air intake channel 121 is horizontally opened on the bracket 12. The movable part 14 moves up and down in the air intake channel 121. The second position is located above the first position. When the atomizer 2 is not installed, the movable part 14 moves downward to the bottom to reach the first position, or the movable part 14 is affected by gravity and always stays in the first position. However, when the movable part 14 is attracted by a force, the movable part 14 moves upward and then stops, located in the second position. Since the user habit is that the opening 15 faces upward, it is convenient for the atomizer 2 to be installed in the opening 15, and it is also convenient for the mouthpiece 26 to enter the user's mouth. Of course, the spherical movable part 14 is convenient for up and down movement.

[0041] The air intake channel 121 includes a first channel 122, a second channel 123, and a guide channel 124. The first channel 122 is formed downward from the upper surface of the bracket 12. One end of the first channel 122 is formed downward to form the second channel 123, which is used to connect to the outside. A guide channel 124 is formed on the side wall of the first channel 122 in the vertical direction. The movable member 14 is movably mounted on the guide channel 124. The guide channel 124 and the first channel 122 overlap. When the movable member 14 moves up and down in the guide channel 124, it partially or completely enters the first channel 122, thereby blocking or blocking the first channel 122, which facilitates the adjustment of the gas flow rate in the first channel 122. The cross section of the guide channel 124 can be designed as circular. When the movable member 14 is a sphere, it is also circular, which facilitates the movement of a circular sphere in the guide channel 124. The presence of the guide channel 124 effectively prevents the movable part 14 from falling off, or effectively prevents the movable part 14 from moving horizontally in the first channel 122, allowing the movable part 14 to move only in the vertical direction. This design ensures that when the atomizer 2 is removed, the movable part 14, without falling to other positions in the airway due to the loss of magnetic attraction, returns to its first position. The movable part 14 can be a sphere, cylinder, cube, cuboid, or other irregularly shaped structure.

[0042] A sealing sleeve 13 is also provided on the upper surface of the bracket 12. The sealing sleeve 13 covers and seals the upper part of the first channel 122. The sealing element also has an air outlet groove, which connects to the other end of the first channel 122. The sealing sleeve 13 seals the upper part of the first channel 122 to prevent air from escaping from the upper part of the first channel 122. When the movable part 14 is in the first position, the movable part 14 is located at the bottom of the guide channel 124. At this time, outside air can flow upward through the lower part of the second channel 123 and then horizontally enter the first channel 122. One end of channel 122 flows horizontally through the first channel 122 and exits from the other end of the first channel 122, flowing out through the air outlet groove to facilitate entry into the atomizer 2; when the movable part 14 is in the second position, the movable part 14 enters the first channel 122. At this time, the outside air can flow upward through the lower part of the second channel 123, and then enter one end of the first channel 122 horizontally. It flows horizontally through the first channel 122, but encounters the obstruction of the movable part 14, which will inevitably lead to a reduction in air flow, thereby realizing the air flow regulation function.

[0043] The atomizer 2 includes a housing 21, with a mouthpiece 26 on the upper part of the housing 21 and a base 22 on the lower part of the housing 21. The mouthpiece 26 and the base 22 are connected by an atomization channel 23. An atomization component 25 is installed in the atomization channel 23. The lower part of the atomization channel 23 is used to connect to the air intake channel 121. The magnetic component 24 is installed on the base 22 to facilitate the installation and replacement of the magnetic component 24 and to prevent wear of the magnetic component 24.

[0044] The bracket 12 is also equipped with a circuit board and a battery. The battery is connected to the circuit board, which is equipped with a sensor for detecting the position of the movable part 14. The circuit board is connected to the atomizing assembly 25 via leads. The sensor is a position sensor. When the movable part 14 is in the first position, the position sensor detects that the movable part 14 is at the bottom and sends an electrical signal to the circuit board. The circuit board controls the battery output power to P1. When the movable part 14 is in the second position, the position sensor detects that the movable part 14 is at the top and sends an electrical signal to the circuit board. The circuit board controls the battery output power to P2. P1 is not equal to P2. The second position is above the first position. The suction resistance is greater in the second position and less in the first position. The suction resistance is relative, and the output power P1 is greater than P2.

[0045] The movable part 14 is a magnet, and the magnetic part 24 has the same polarity as the magnet so that the magnetic part 24 can push the magnet to the second position. The principle is similar to that described above, but the first and second positions of the movable part 14 will be different. In this case, the first position is above the second position, but a slight adjustment needs to be made to the structure.

[0046] The adaptive airflow regulation electronic cigarette provided by this design can automatically match the atomizer 2 and the main body 1. Specifically, it matches the airflow rate, also known as the draw resistance, without manual adjustment. At the same time, the battery can output different power according to the different positions of the moving part 14, realizing fully automatic and seamless switching. This solves the problem of complex operation of traditional airflow regulation, breaks through the limitation of the existing fixed draw resistance design of atomizer 2 and main body 1, and enables the same main body 1 to intelligently match different atomizers 2, output different power, adjust the cross-sectional area of ​​the optimal airflow channel, and solve compatibility problems.

[0047] Furthermore, the movement of the movable part 14 is achieved by a non-electric physical driving force, including magnetic force, gravity, elastic force or a combination thereof, and multiple magnetic parts 24 can be provided to adapt to different air intake modes.

[0048] In addition, by marking the atomizer 2 differently and assembling magnetic components 24 with different magnetic properties in the atomizer, the position of the movable component 14 can be adjusted up and down by the magnetic component 24 to achieve the switching between mouth-to-lung inhalation mode and lung-to-lung inhalation mode.
