Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and in particular to a liquid storage component, an atomizing component, and an atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic atomizing device is an electronic product that generates an aerosol by atomizing a liquid matrix for users to inhale. It generally consists of two parts: an atomizer and a power supply component. The atomizer contains a liquid storage chamber for storing the liquid matrix and an atomizing core for atomizing the liquid matrix. The power supply component includes a power supply and a circuit board.

[0003] Existing electronic atomization devices, limited by various factors such as cost and regulations, generally have a relatively small amount of liquid matrix stored inside the atomizer. When the liquid matrix is ​​depleted, it can be used again by refilling the liquid, replacing the atomizer, or simply discarding it. These methods, on the one hand, cause inconvenience to users and reduce their user experience, and on the other hand, increase their operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide a liquid storage component, an atomizing component, and an atomizing device to avoid the inconvenience and increased usage costs of existing electronic atomizing devices for users.

The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the atomizing device 10 provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 12, an atomizing component 14, and a liquid storage component 16.

[0040] In some examples, the housing 12, the atomizing component 14, and the liquid storage component 16 can each exist independently, while also being integrated with each other.

[0041] In some examples, when the reservoir component 16 is attached to the atomizing component 14, a liquid matrix can be supplied to the atomizing component 14. Before the reservoir component 16 and the atomizing component 14 are attached, they exist independently of each other.

[0042] In some examples, when the reservoir component 16 is attached to the atomizing component 14, the reservoir component 16 can be detached or removed from the atomizing component 14; the reservoir component 16 can be replaced, while the atomizing component 14 can be reused; when the liquid matrix in the reservoir component 16 is replenished, the user can remove and replace the reservoir component 16 from the atomizing component 14.

[0043] In some examples, when the liquid reservoir 16 is attached to the atomizing component 14, it is completely hidden in the housing 12, thereby improving the aesthetics of the product and preventing the liquid reservoir 16 from falling off the atomizing component 14.

[0044] In some examples, housing 12 may be part of atomizing component 14 or liquid storage component 16.

[0045] In some examples, the atomizing component 14 is capable of storing and atomizing the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol, while the liquid storage component 16 is also capable of storing the liquid matrix, and the amount of liquid matrix that can be stored in the liquid storage component 16 is greater than the amount of liquid matrix that can be stored in the atomizing component 14. For example, the amount of liquid matrix that can be stored in the liquid storage component 16 is 10 ml, while the amount of liquid matrix that can be stored in the atomizing component 14 is 2 ml.

[0046] In some examples, the user can directly pinch the liquid reservoir 16 and inject the liquid matrix into the atomizing component 14 before the liquid reservoir 16 and the atomizing component 14 are combined.

[0047] like Figures 4-6As shown, the atomizing component 14 provided in this embodiment includes:

[0048] The first housing 141 includes a first portion 1411 and a second portion 1412. For example, taking the dashed line A in the figure as the dividing line, the first portion 1411 is the part to the left of the dashed line A, and the second portion 1412 is the part to the right of the dashed line A. The first portion 1411 extends along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing component 14 (as shown by Z in the figure), and the second portion 1412 extends from the first portion 1411 along the width direction of the atomizing component 14 (as shown by X in the figure) in a direction away from the first portion 1411.

[0049] In some examples, the first housing 141 comprises a nozzle 141a, a main housing 141b, and a bottom cover 141c. The nozzle 141a is attached to one end of the main housing 141b, and the bottom cover 141c is attached to the other end of the main housing 141b. The nozzle 141a defines a proximal end 141a1 of the atomizing component 14, and an air outlet 141a2 for user inhalation is provided at the proximal end 141a1. An aerosol output tube 141a3 integrally molded with the nozzle 141a is provided inside the nozzle 141a for delivering aerosol to the air outlet 141a2. The main housing 141b defines a first side 141b1 and a second side 141b2 of the atomizing component 14 opposite to each other along the width direction of the atomizing component 14. The bottom cover 141c defines the distal end 141c1 of the atomizing component 14. The proximal end 141a1 and the distal end 141c1 are opposite to each other along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing component 14. The distal end 141c1 is used as one end to be connected to the power supply assembly 18. An air inlet 141c2 is provided at the distal end 141c1.

[0050] In some examples, the first housing 141 may be formed wholly or partially from a metal or alloy such as stainless steel or aluminum, or other suitable materials including various plastics (e.g., polycarbonate), metal-plating over plastic, ceramics, etc.

[0051] In some examples, the first housing 141 is generally configured to be L-shaped.

[0052] In some examples, a holding space 1413 for receiving the liquid reservoir 16 is defined between the outer wall of the first portion 1411 and the outer wall of the second portion 1412.

[0053] Specifically, there is a gap between the second part 1412 and the proximal end 141a1, thereby forming or defining a holding space 1413 between the second part 1412 and the proximal end 141a1; the holding space 1413 is close to the second side 141b2, and in use, the liquid storage component 16 can be attached to the second part 1412 of the atomizing component 14 along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing component 14 and held in the holding space 1413.

[0054] In some examples, when the reservoir 16 is attached to the second portion 1412 of the atomizing component 14, the reservoir 16 is spaced apart from the first portion 1411 in width.

[0055] In some examples, when the reservoir 16 is attached to the second portion 1412 of the atomizing member 14, the reservoir 16 is held or abutted against the first portion 1411 in width.

[0056] In some examples, when the liquid reservoir 16 is attached to the atomizing component 14, the housing 12 is attached to the first housing 141. For example, a flange on the inner sidewall of the housing 12 abuts against the edge of the first housing 141, or a snap-fit ​​groove or snap-fit ​​hole on the inner sidewall of the housing 12 is snapped into place by a snap-fit ​​buckle 141b3 on the first housing 141. When the housing 12 is attached to the first housing 141, the liquid reservoir 16 can be hidden inside the housing 12, thereby improving the aesthetics of the product and preventing the liquid reservoir 16 from falling off the atomizing component 14.

[0057] In some examples, a first liquid storage cavity 142 for storing a liquid matrix is ​​formed within the first housing 141. A portion of the first liquid storage cavity 142 is formed within a first portion 1411, and another portion of the first liquid storage cavity 142 is formed within a second portion 1412. The volume of the portion of the first liquid storage cavity 142 formed within the first portion 1411 is larger than the volume of the other portion of the first liquid storage cavity 142 formed within the second portion 1412.

[0058] In some examples, a tubular element 143 is also arranged within the first housing 141, extending longitudinally along the atomizing component 14. The tubular element 143 can be made of rigid ceramic, stainless steel, or polymer plastic, etc. The upper end of the tubular element 143 is positioned near the aerosol output pipe 141a3 and communicates with the air outlet 141a2 through the aerosol output pipe 141a3. In some examples, a liquid suction member 144 can also be provided between the upper end of the tubular element 143 and the aerosol output pipe 141a3 to absorb condensate; the liquid suction member 144 is constructed as a tubular structure, and the upper end of the tubular element 143 communicates with the aerosol output pipe 141a3 through the internal space of the liquid suction member 144. The lower end of the tubular element 143 communicates with the air inlet 141c2.

[0059] In some examples, an atomizing core 145 is also disposed within the first housing 141. The atomizing core 145 is disposed within the first portion 1411 and within the tubular element 143, which is also provided with a liquid passage 143a communicating with the first liquid storage chamber 142. In this way, the atomizing core 145 receives the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 142 through the liquid passage 143a and atomizes it to generate an aerosol.

[0060] In some examples, the atomizing core 145 includes a liquid guiding element (not shown) and a heating element (not shown). The liquid guiding element is capable of drawing in the liquid matrix and transferring the drawn-in liquid matrix to the heating element. The liquid guiding element can be configured as a tubular structure. The liquid guiding element can be made of a flexible fibrous material, such as cotton fibers, non-woven fabric, or sponge. In other examples, the liquid guiding element can also be a plate-like structure or other regular or irregular shapes. Alternatively, in other examples, the liquid guiding element can also be a rigid porous body, such as porous ceramics, porous glass, etc.

[0061] The heating element can be heated by an electric current supply and transfers heat to the liquid matrix in contact with it to heat the liquid matrix, thereby generating an aerosol. The heating element can be disposed close to the inner surface of the tubular liquid guiding element, for example, abutting against the inner surface of the liquid guiding element, or partially or completely embedded in the liquid guiding element. The heating element can be a resistance heating mesh, resistance heating coil, etc. The heating element can be made of a material with suitable temperature coefficient of resistance characteristics, such as stainless steel 316, titanium, nickel, nickel-chromium alloy, etc. In a specific implementation, the heating element can be wound from a sheet or mesh substrate, and the wound heating element is a non-closed tubular structure in the circumferential direction, that is, a tubular structure with a side opening extending along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing component 14. The heating element is connected to leads, for example by welding, and the leads form an electrical connection with the power supply assembly 18.

[0062] In some examples, a liquid storage element 146 is also provided in the first liquid storage chamber 142 for adsorbing and retaining the liquid matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 142. The liquid storage element 146 can be made of flexible or rigid porous materials or fibrous materials. The liquid storage element 146 can be partially located in the first part 1411 and another part located in the second part 1412; the portion of the liquid storage element 146 located in the first part 1411 is sleeved on the outside of the tubular element 143 or covers the periphery of the tubular element 143.

[0063] In some examples, a seal 147 is also disposed within the first housing 141. The seal 147 is made of a flexible silicone or thermoplastic elastomer, for example. The seal 147 is coupled to or disposed at the lower end of the tubular element 143 to close or seal the first liquid reservoir 142 at the lower end of the tubular element 143. A portion of the seal 147 is located within the first portion 1411, and another portion is located within the second portion 1412.

[0064] In some examples, a liquid-absorbing element 148 is also arranged within the first housing 141. The liquid-absorbing element 148 is disposed between the seal 147 and the bottom cover 141c. A portion of the liquid-absorbing element 148 is located within the first portion 1411, and another portion is located within the second portion 1412, thus giving the liquid-absorbing element 148 a large surface area. The liquid-absorbing element 148 is arranged around at least a portion of the air inlet 141c2, thereby absorbing condensate and reducing the risk of liquid matrix leakage from the air inlet 141c2.

[0065] Referring to the airflow path S1 in the figure, external air flows into the atomizing component 14 through the air inlet 141c2, and after passing through the air passage 147a of the seal 147, it flows into the tubular element 143. After mixing with the aerosol generated by the atomizing core 145, it flows out from the upper end of the tubular element 143, passes through the liquid suction component 148, flows into the aerosol output pipe 141a3, and finally flows out from the air outlet 141a2.

[0066] like Figures 7-10 As shown, the liquid storage component 16 provided in this embodiment includes:

[0067] The second housing 161 can be composed of multiple components, such as an upper housing 161a, a main housing 161b, and a lower housing 161c. The upper housing 161a is located at the upper end of the main housing 161b, and the lower housing 161c is located at the lower end of the main housing 161b. The connection method between the upper housing 161a or the lower housing 161c and the main housing 161b includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​connection, interference fit, riveting, etc. In a preferred embodiment, one end of the upper housing 161a is inserted into the main housing 161b and is interference-fitted with the main housing 161b, and the lower housing 161c is snap-fitted to the main housing 161b.

[0068] A second liquid storage cavity 162 for storing a liquid matrix is ​​formed within the second housing 161. In a specific embodiment, the second liquid storage cavity 162 can be formed by an upper housing 161a, a main housing 161b, and a lower housing 161c, that is, the upper housing 161a, the main housing 161b, and the lower housing 161c define the boundary of the first liquid storage cavity 123. In a further embodiment, the liquid storage component 16 also includes a seal 161d, at least a portion of which is sandwiched between the main housing 161b and the lower housing 161c, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the liquid matrix from the gap between the main housing 161b and the lower housing 161c. The material of the seal 161d can refer to the aforementioned seal 147.

[0069] The upper end of the second housing 161, for example, the upper housing 161a, is provided with an injection port 161a1 that communicates with the second liquid storage chamber 162. The lower end of the second housing 161, for example, the lower housing 161c, is provided with a connector 161c1 that communicates with the second liquid storage chamber 162.

[0070] The liquid storage component 16 also includes a first end cap 163 and / or a second end cap 164 that are detachably connected to the second housing 161. The first end cap 163 is disposed at the upper end of the second housing 161 to block the liquid injection port 161a1; the second end cap 164 is disposed at the lower end of the second housing 161 to block the connector 161c1.

[0071] In some examples, the first end cap 163 includes a cap body 163a and a sealing element 163b disposed within the cap body 163a. ​​The inner wall of the sealing element 163b is provided with threads, and the outer wall of the second housing 161, such as the main housing 161b, is provided with a corresponding threaded structure. When the first end cap 163 is assembled onto the second housing 161, it can be fastened to the upper end of the second housing 161 through threaded engagement. Part of the sealing element 163b can be inserted into the injection port 161a1, thereby sealing the injection port 161a1 and preventing the liquid matrix from leaking out.

[0072] like Figure 11 As shown, in some examples, the second end cap 164 is composed of a cover plate 16a and a surrounding plate 164b. The surface of the cover plate 16a facing the second liquid storage cavity 162 has a protrusion 164c, which, together with the cover plate 16a, defines a sealing cavity 164c1. When the second end cap 164 is assembled onto the second housing 161, the connector 161c1 is inserted into the sealing cavity 164c1, thereby sealing the connector 161c1 and preventing the liquid matrix from leaking out.

[0073] In a further embodiment, a seal is provided between the inner wall of the protrusion 164c and the outer wall of the connector 161c1 to reduce the risk of leakage of the liquid matrix from between the inner wall of the protrusion 164c and the outer wall of the connector 161c1. In a preferred embodiment, the seal between the inner wall of the protrusion 164c and the outer wall of the connector 161c1 can be a part of the aforementioned seal 161d, for example, a part of the seal 161d extends from the connector 161c1 and remains on the outer wall of the connector 161c1. It should be noted that the seal 161d and the lower shell 161c can be integrated by two-color injection molding.

[0074] In a further implementation, the surface of the cover plate 16a facing the second liquid storage chamber 162 also has a protrusion 164d. The protrusion 164d surrounds the periphery of the protrusion 164c and is spaced apart from the protrusion 164c. The inner sidewall of the protrusion 164d is provided with a guide groove 164d1 and a locking engagement part 164d2. The locking engagement part 164d2 can be a locking hole or a locking groove. Correspondingly, the lower end of the second housing 161, for example, the lower housing 161c, is also provided with a protrusion 161c2. The protrusion 161c2 surrounds the periphery of the connector 161c1 and is spaced apart from the connector 161c1. The outer sidewall of the protrusion 161c2 is provided with a protrusion 161c3. When the second end cap 164 is assembled onto the second housing 161, the protrusion 161c3 can slide in the guide groove 164d1 and engage with the locking engagement part 164d2, thereby locking the second end cap 164 onto the second housing 161. As can be seen from the above, the protrusion 161c3 can be used both as a guide block engaging with the guide groove 164d1 and as a locking element (locking buckle) engaging with the locking engagement part 164d2. In other examples, independent guide blocks and locking elements can also be provided, engaging with the guide groove 164d1 and the locking engagement part 164d2 respectively.

[0075] In actual use, the user can pinch the second housing 161, align the guide groove 164d1 of the second end cover 164 with the protrusion 161c3, and then push the second end cover 164 upward so that the protrusion 161c3 slides in the guide groove 164d1; then, the second end cover 164 can be rotated so that the protrusion 161c3 engages with the locking engagement part 164d2, thereby locking the second end cover 164 onto the second housing 161.

[0076] In some examples, the connector 161c1 is further provided with a liquid guiding element 165, which can transfer the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 to the outside of the second liquid storage chamber 162; the material of the liquid guiding element 165 can refer to the aforementioned liquid guiding element or liquid storage element 146. In a further embodiment, a ventilation channel 166 is formed between the liquid guiding element 165 and the inner wall of the connector 161c1, and the ventilation channel 166 can realize the ventilation between the second liquid storage chamber 162 and the outside, thereby balancing the air pressure between the second liquid storage chamber 162 and the outside. Preferably, as shown in the example Figure 12 As shown, a longitudinally extending groove 165a is provided on the outer wall of the liquid guide 165, and the groove 165a defines the boundary of the ventilation channel 166.

[0077] Please refer to this again. Figure 6As shown, in some examples, the outer wall of the second part 1411 of the first housing 141 is provided with an interface 141b4 that communicates with the first liquid storage chamber 142. Through the cooperation of the connector 161c1 and the interface 141b4, the liquid storage component 16 can be attached to the second part 1411 of the first housing 141, and a connection channel for communicating between the first liquid storage chamber 142 and the second liquid storage chamber 162 is established.

[0078] Specifically, the second end cap 164 can be removed from the liquid storage component 16 first, and then the liquid storage component 16 can be attached to the second part 1411 of the first housing 141. It is understood that the first end cap 163 can be retained on the liquid storage component 16 or sealed at the injection port 161a1 via a similar structure on the outer shell 12. When the liquid storage component 16 is attached to the second part 1411 of the first housing 141, the connector 161c1 is inserted into the insertion interface 141b4, thereby establishing the aforementioned connection channel. In the example shown in the figure, the connection channel is mainly defined by the inner wall of the connector 161c1. Thus, the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 can be transferred to the first liquid storage chamber 142 through this connection channel. As can be seen from the figure, the extension direction of the connection channel is perpendicular to the second part 1411, which facilitates the rapid flow of the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 towards the first liquid storage chamber 142 under the influence of gravity.

[0079] It is understandable that in other examples, it is also possible to have the connector 161c1 located on the second part 1411 of the first housing 141 and the insertion interface 141b4 located on the second housing 161.

[0080] In some examples, a protrusion 141b5 is further provided on the second portion 1411 of the first housing 141, surrounding the insertion port 141b4. When the liquid storage component 16 is attached to the second portion 1411 of the first housing 141, the connector 161c1 is inserted into the insertion port 141b4 via the protrusion 141b5, thus ensuring that the connector 161c1 is well held within the insertion port 141b4. In a further embodiment, a seal is provided between the inner wall of the protrusion 141b5 and the outer wall of the connector 161c1 to reduce the risk of leakage of the liquid matrix from between the inner wall of the protrusion 141b5 and the outer wall of the connector 161c1. Similarly, the seal between the inner wall of the protrusion 141b5 and the outer wall of the connector 161c1 may be part of a seal 161d.

[0081] In some examples, a protrusion 141b6 is also provided on the second part 1411 of the first housing 141. The protrusion 141b6 surrounds the periphery of the protrusion 141b5 and is spaced apart from the protrusion 141b5. A guide groove 141b7 and a locking engagement part 141b8 are provided on the inner sidewall of the protrusion 141b6. The locking engagement part 141b8 can be a locking hole or a locking groove. When the liquid storage component 16 is attached to the second part 1411 of the first housing 141, the protrusion 161c3 can slide in the guide groove 141b7 and engage with the locking engagement part 141b8, thereby locking the liquid storage component 16 onto the second part 1411 of the first housing 141. Similarly, the protrusion 161c3 can be used both as a guide block that engages with the guide groove 141b7 and as a locking element (locking buckle) that engages with the locking engagement part 141b8. In other examples, separate guide blocks and locking elements can also be provided, which respectively mate with guide groove 141b7 and locking hole 141b8. It is also understood that the guide block and guide groove, and the locking element and locking mating part described above can be arranged in reverse; for example, the locking element is provided on the second part 1411 of the first housing 141, while the locking mating part is provided on the second housing 161.

[0082] Similarly, in actual use, the user can pinch the atomizing component 14, align the protrusion 161c3 of the liquid storage component 16 with the guide groove 141b7, and then push the liquid storage component 16 downwards so that the protrusion 161c3 slides in the guide groove 141b7; then, the liquid storage component 16 can be rotated so that the protrusion 161c3 engages with the locking engagement part 141b8, thereby locking the liquid storage component 16 onto the atomizing component 14.

[0083] Please refer to this again. Figure 3 As shown, when the liquid storage component 16 is attached to the second part 1411 of the first housing 141, the liquid guide 165 in the connecting channel remains in contact with the liquid storage component 146 in the first liquid storage chamber 142. Thus, referring to the liquid guiding path S2 in the figure, the liquid guide 165 can draw in the liquid matrix from the second liquid storage chamber 162 and transfer it to the liquid storage component 146, which in turn transfers the liquid matrix to the atomizing core 145, thereby generating an aerosol. Through the liquid guide 165 and the liquid storage component 146, the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 is facilitated to flow rapidly towards the atomizing core 145 under the influence of gravity and capillary force.

[0084] Furthermore, referring to the ventilation path S3 in the figure, ventilation can be achieved between the first liquid storage chamber 142 and the second liquid storage chamber 162 through the aforementioned ventilation channel 166, thereby balancing the air pressure between the first liquid storage chamber 142 and the second liquid storage chamber 162, ensuring that the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 can be smoothly transferred to the first liquid storage chamber 142.

[0085] Please refer to this again. Figure 3 As shown, there is a first distance d1 between the liquid passage 143a and the distal end 141c1 of the atomizing component 14, and a second distance d2 between the end of the connecting channel near the distal end 141c1 of the atomizing component 14 and the distal end 141c1 of the atomizing component 14. The first distance d1 and the second distance d2 are substantially the same. "Substantially the same" means that the difference (absolute value) between the first distance d1 and the second distance d2 is between 0 and 1 mm, for example, 0, 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, etc. This ensures that the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 can be quickly transferred to the atomizing core 145, avoiding dry burning and reducing the user's vaping waiting time.

[0086] Please refer to this again. Figures 7-10 As shown, in another operation, the user can remove the first end cap 163 from the liquid storage component 16, while the second end cap 164 remains on the liquid storage component 16. At this time, the liquid storage component 16 can be used as a liquid injection component. For example, the user can directly align the injection port 161a1 with the insertion interface 141b4 of the atomizing component 14 or the injection port communicating with the first liquid storage chamber 142, thereby quickly injecting the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 162 into the first liquid storage chamber 142.

[0087] like Figure 13 As shown, in some examples, the atomizing device 10 also includes a power supply assembly 18 for supplying power to the atomizing component 14. The atomizing component 14 is detachably connected to the power supply assembly 18. It is understood that in other examples, it is also feasible for the atomizing component 14 and the power supply assembly 18 to be integrally formed.

[0088] exist Figure 13 In the example shown, the power supply assembly 18 includes a receiving cavity 181 disposed at one end along the length direction for receiving and accommodating at least a portion of the atomizing component 14, and an electrical contact 182 at least partially exposed in the receiving cavity 181 for forming an electrical connection with the atomizing component 14 and thereby supplying power to the atomizing component 14 when at least a portion of the atomizing component 14 is received or accommodated in the power supply assembly 18.

[0089] exist Figure 13 In the example shown, a seal 183 is provided within the power assembly 18, and the seal 183 divides at least a portion of the internal space of the power assembly 18 to form the receiving cavity 181. The seal 183 is configured to extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the power assembly 18, and is preferably made of a flexible material such as silicone, thereby preventing the liquid matrix that seeps from the atomizing component 14 into the receiving cavity 181 from flowing into components such as the control unit 184 and the sensor 185 inside the power assembly 18.

[0090] exist Figure 13 In the example shown, the power supply assembly 18 also includes a battery cell 186 for power supply located at the other end of its length away from the receiving cavity 181; and a control unit 184 disposed between the battery cell 186 and the receiving cavity 181, the control unit 184 being operable to guide current between the battery cell 186 and the electrical contact 182. In use, the power supply assembly 18 includes a sensor 185 for sensing the suction airflow generated when the atomizing component 14 is inhaled, thereby enabling the control unit 184 to control the battery cell 186 to supply power to the atomizing component 14 based on the detection signal from the sensor 185.

[0091] exist Figure 13 In the example shown, the power supply assembly 18 has a charging interface 1877 at the end opposite to the receiving cavity 181 for charging the battery cell 186. It is understood that in other examples, it is also feasible to use a disposable battery cell for the battery cell 186.

[0092] It should be noted that the preferred embodiments of this application are given in the specification and accompanying drawings, but are not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
