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

[0002] An atomizing device is an electronic product that atomizes an internally stored matrix to obtain an aerosol. Because atomizing devices need to meet waterproofing requirements, they must be airtight to prevent external liquids from entering, while simultaneously ensuring the proper release of internal pressure. Existing waterproofing and pressure relief technologies primarily employ perforations combined with a waterproof and breathable membrane.

[0003] However, while the above methods can achieve waterproofing and pressure relief to a certain extent, they require the use of various materials and precision machining techniques, which increases production costs. Furthermore, the combination of multiple components makes the overall design of the device more complex, affecting its reliability and service life. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 This is a partial structural diagram of an atomizing device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of an atomizing device according to another embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, an atomizing device is provided, including a housing 10 and a sealing member 20. The housing 10 has a battery compartment 12 for installing a battery, and the housing 10 has a pressure relief hole 11. The sealing member 20 is at least partially disposed on one side of the housing 10 corresponding to the pressure relief hole 11, and the sealing member 20 has a pressure relief channel 21. One end of the pressure relief channel 21 communicates with the outside of the housing 10 through the pressure relief hole 11, and the other end of the pressure relief channel 21 communicates with the battery compartment 12.

[0028] In these embodiments, the housing 10 can protect the internal components and reduce damage to them caused by external impacts. Simultaneously, the housing 10 provides a relatively sealed space for the internal components to prevent damage from external moisture. Additionally, the housing 10 may also include a compartment for accommodating other components and a liquid storage chamber for accommodating the atomizing matrix. These details can be found in existing structural designs and will not be elaborated further here.

[0029] In these embodiments, the pressure relief hole 11 is used to release pressure inside the housing 10.

[0030] In these embodiments, the seal 20 is at least partially disposed on one side of the housing 10 corresponding to the pressure relief hole 11, facilitating a waterproof design for the pressure relief hole 11. The seal 20 includes a pressure relief channel 21 connecting the pressure relief hole 11 and the battery compartment 12. This channel releases pressure generated within the battery compartment 12 to the outside of the housing 10 through the pressure relief channel 21 and the pressure relief hole 11. This design optimizes the pressure release path, ensuring effective connection to the battery compartment 12 when needed, thereby achieving directional pressure release and improving pressure relief safety. Furthermore, the pressure relief channel 21 formed by the seal 20 extends the path connecting the inside and outside of the housing 10, preventing external moisture from seeping into the housing 10.

[0031] In some embodiments, the pressure relief port 11 can release battery pressure when the battery heats up, thereby improving safety. In still other embodiments, the pressure relief port 11 is located on the side of the housing 10 corresponding to the battery compartment 12, in order to shorten the path of the pressure relief channel 21 and allow the battery pressure to be quickly released to the outside of the housing 10.

[0032] In some embodiments, the pressure relief hole 11 can release battery pressure in the event of a battery explosion, thereby reducing the harm to the user caused by the pressure released during the battery explosion.

[0033] In some applications, battery heating refers to the heat generated by the battery supplying power to the atomizing core during the operation of the atomizing device. In other applications, battery heating refers to the heat generated by the battery during the charging process. This battery heating causes the gas inside the battery compartment 12 to move more rapidly, thus increasing the pressure inside the battery compartment 12. This pressure is then released through the pressure relief channel 21 and pressure relief hole 11, thereby improving the stability and safety of the battery.

[0034] In some embodiments, the shape of the pressure relief hole 11 may be circular, elliptical or square, etc., that is, this application does not limit the shape of the pressure relief hole 11.

[0035] In some embodiments, the pressure relief channel 21 can be a straight channel, a non-straight channel with multiple bends, or a spiral channel.

[0036] In some embodiments, the pressure relief hole 11 may also be located on the housing 10 at a position corresponding to other compartments or cavities, such as a liquid storage chamber or a circuit board mounting compartment. Correspondingly, the seal 20 and the pressure relief channel 21 can be adjusted according to the location of the pressure relief hole 11.

[0037] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pressure relief channel 21 includes a first pressure relief channel 211, which has a first end 2111 near the pressure relief hole 11 and a second end 2112 away from the pressure relief hole 11; the cross-section of the first pressure relief channel 211 gradually increases from the first end 2111 to the second end 2112.

[0038] In these embodiments, the first pressure relief channel 211 is a channel in the pressure relief channel 21 located near the pressure relief hole 11. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first pressure relief channel 211 gradually increases from the first end 2111 to the second end 2112, thereby making the part of the pressure relief channel 21 near the pressure relief hole 11 a narrow and elongated channel. That is, the entrance of the pressure relief channel 21 to the outside of the housing 10 is a narrow and elongated channel. The purpose of this design is to prevent liquid from diffusing into the housing 10 within the pressure relief channel 21 due to capillary effect.

[0039] In these embodiments, by designing the first pressure relief channel 211 with a gradually increasing cross-section, the airflow velocity can be effectively reduced during pressure release, thereby reducing flow resistance and improving pressure relief efficiency. Simultaneously, this design helps stabilize the airflow direction, preventing equipment damage or performance degradation due to airflow impact. It is suitable for applications requiring rapid and safe release of internal pressure, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the atomizing device.

[0040] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the opening of the first end 2111 of the first pressure relief channel 211 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the pressure relief hole 11.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first pressure relief channel 211 has a circular cross-section, with the inner diameter of the opening at the first end 2111 ranging from 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm. In still other embodiments, the inner diameter of the opening at the first end 2111 is 0.6 mm. In these embodiments, by employing a circular cross-section design, the first pressure relief channel 211 can distribute pressure evenly in all directions, thereby avoiding damage caused by localized stress concentration. The smaller opening at the first end 2111 can limit the pressure release rate in the initial stage, preventing sudden excessive flow surges. The larger opening at the second end 2112 facilitates rapid gas discharge when needed, ensuring the safety and stability of the system. This design not only improves the overall performance of the atomizing device but also enhances its reliability and service life.

[0042] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the opening on the second end 2112 is between 0.8 mm and 1.6 mm. In still other embodiments, the inner diameter of the opening on the second end 2112 is 1.0 mm. In these embodiments, designing the inner diameter of the opening on the second end 2112 to be larger than the inner diameter of the opening on the first end 2111 ensures smooth gas flow and effective flow rate regulation under different pressure conditions. The selection of the opening size helps control the airflow velocity and atomization efficiency while maintaining structural strength.

[0043] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the opening on the first end 2111 and the inner diameter of the opening on the second end 2112 can be expressed as a diameter.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The angle between the extending direction and the inner wall of the first pressure relief channel 211 is between 5° and 20°. Please refer to this angle. Figure 1 The angle formed by the inner wall of the first pressure relief channel 211 and the dotted line at the position indicated by the A mark in these embodiments is also intended to prevent or avoid the capillary effect of the liquid and prevent the liquid from spreading into the housing 10 within the pressure relief channel 21.

[0045] In some embodiments, the extension length of the first pressure relief channel 211 is between 1 mm and 2 mm. In other embodiments, the extension length of the first pressure relief channel 211 is 1.5 mm. In these embodiments, the design of the extension length ensures that the pressure release path is short enough when pressure relief is required, thereby responding quickly and releasing excess pressure in a timely manner, preventing potential dangers caused by excessive pressure.

[0046] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pressure relief channel 21 further includes a second pressure relief channel 212 extending from the second end 2112 toward the battery compartment 12. In these embodiments, the second pressure relief channel 212 extending from the second end 2112 toward the battery compartment 12 allows for precise release of pressure within the battery compartment 12, further reducing potential risks to the battery.

[0047] In some embodiments, the extension length of the second pressure relief channel 212 is greater than the extension length of the first pressure relief channel 211. In these embodiments, providing a relatively longer second pressure relief channel 212 not only optimizes the pressure relief path, but also further extends the path for liquid to diffuse inward, making it more difficult for external moisture to reach the battery compartment 12.

[0048] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second pressure relief channel 212 is provided with one or more protrusions 2121. In these embodiments, by adding multiple protrusions 2121 to the inner wall of the second pressure relief channel 212, external water vapor is further blocked from moving and diffusing into the housing 10 within the second pressure relief channel 212, preventing further liquid penetration.

[0049] In these embodiments, the protrusion 2121 may be a hemispherical protrusion 2121 or a protrusion 2121 of other shapes, and this application does not limit it in this regard.

[0050] In some embodiments, the seal 20 is made of a hydrophobic material, and / or the interior of the pressure relief channel 21 is lined with a hydrophobic material layer. In these embodiments, by making the seal 20 a hydrophobic material, liquid residue on the surface of the seal 20 can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the airtightness and waterproof performance of the device. In these embodiments, the hydrophobic material layer lining the interior of the pressure relief channel 21 prevents condensation caused by high humidity, ensuring the channel remains unobstructed and facilitating stable pressure regulation. Furthermore, the hydrophobic properties reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, lowering operating costs.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, an atomizing device is also provided, including a housing 10, a sealing element 20, and a charging component 30. The housing 10 has a battery compartment 12 for installing a battery and a connector 13. The sealing element 20 is at least partially disposed within the housing 10 on one side corresponding to the connector 13, and a receiving cavity 22 is provided within the sealing element 20. The charging component 30 is at least partially placed in the receiving cavity 22. A pressure relief channel 21 is also provided on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 22. One end of the pressure relief channel 21 communicates with the outside of the housing 10 through the connector 13, and the other end of the pressure relief channel 21 communicates with the battery compartment 12.

[0052] In these embodiments, the housing 10 and the seal 20 can be described with reference to the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] In these embodiments, the charging component 30 is a port assembly for charging the atomizing device. In some embodiments, the charging component 30 can be a USB component. In other embodiments, the charging component 30 can be a Type-C component. The specific structure of the charging component 30 can be found in existing designs and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In these embodiments, the connector 13 allows an externally connected port to connect to the charging component 30 for charging. Simultaneously, the connector 13 also functions equivalent to the pressure relief hole 11 described above. In these embodiments, the seal 20 houses and accommodates the charging component 30 through the receiving cavity 22, and a pressure relief channel 21 communicating with the connector 13 is formed through the inner wall of the receiving cavity 22. At this time, the pressure inside the battery compartment 12 can be released through the pressure relief channel 21 and the connector 13. The shape design of the connector 13 corresponds to the interface shape design of the charging component 30.

[0055] In these embodiments, the structural design of the pressure relief channel 21 can be referred to the description of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0056] In some embodiments, a gap exists between the inner wall of the receiving cavity 22 and the outer surface of the charging component 30 to form a pressure relief channel 21. The inner wall of the pressure relief channel 21 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 2121. The description of the protrusions 2121 in the above embodiments can still be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of the atomizing device according to another embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of an atomizing device according to another embodiment of this application. The sealing member 20 is provided with a positioning protrusion 23, and the housing 10 is provided with a positioning groove 14 for one of the positioning protrusions 23, so as to position the sealing member 20 at the position where the housing 10 needs to be installed.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 1 or Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a sealing element structure according to one embodiment is shown. The sealing element 20 includes an outer sealing element 24 and an inner sealing element 25, with the inner sealing element 25 fitted inside the outer sealing element 24. A pressure relief channel 21 is disposed within the inner sealing element 25. The hardness of the outer sealing element 24 is greater than that of the inner sealing element 25, and the inner sealing element 25 is made of a waterproof material. In these embodiments, by setting inner sealing elements 25 and outer sealing elements 24 with different hardnesses, the material used for the pressure relief channel 21 is ensured to be waterproof, while further increasing the hardness of the sealing element 20, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing element 20 and reducing thermal deformation of the sealing element 20.

[0059] In some embodiments, the seal 20 is made of silicone.
