Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Atomizing devices are common electronic atomization equipment that heats and atomizes a liquid matrix to form an aerosol that users can inhale. To improve user convenience, various pre-filled atomizing devices have appeared on the market. These devices are pre-filled with liquid matrix during the manufacturing process, allowing users to use them directly after purchase.

[0003] In related technologies, some atomizing devices have multiple independent liquid storage chambers to achieve specific functions or structural layouts. For example, multiple liquid storage chambers can be used to hold different flavored liquid bases to provide users with a diverse experience. In addition, some devices are designed to store the liquid base in different components. Both situations require the production and assembly process to be carried out in steps. For example, it is necessary to first fill and seal the liquid storage chamber of one component, then fill the liquid storage chamber of another component, and finally assemble the two components together to form a complete device.

[0004] However, the inventors discovered that the assembly and liquid injection methods in the aforementioned related technologies have the following shortcomings: their production process involves multiple liquid injection and assembly steps, making the overall process cumbersome and resulting in low production efficiency; at the same time, the step-by-step sealing and assembly also increases the number of sealing components used and labor costs, which is not conducive to controlling the overall cost of the product. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an atomizing device that aims to solve the problems of cumbersome production process, low efficiency, and high cost in related technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an atomizing device, including a liquid storage mechanism and an atomizing mechanism.

[0007] Specifically, the liquid storage mechanism has a liquid storage shell with a first liquid storage chamber inside, and one end of the liquid storage shell forms an opening communicating with the first liquid storage chamber. The atomizing mechanism has an atomizing shell with a second liquid storage chamber and an atomizing core inside, and the atomizing shell is also provided with a liquid inlet channel communicating with the second liquid storage chamber.

[0008] The structural design of the atomizing device in this application allows the liquid storage mechanism to be inverted and liquid to be injected through its opening when the liquid storage mechanism and the atomizing mechanism are not connected; while when the liquid storage mechanism and the atomizing mechanism are connected, the atomizing mechanism can block the opening of the liquid storage mechanism, and the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber can enter the second liquid storage chamber through the liquid inlet channel.

[0009] The atomizing device provided in this application simplifies the process of multiple liquid injections and multiple assembly into a single liquid injection and assembly by designing the liquid storage mechanism and the atomizing mechanism as structures that can be inverted for liquid injection and assembly in one go, thereby effectively improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the atomizing device 10 along the AA direction. In this embodiment, the atomizing device 10, after assembly, presents an integral structure, and its external contour is designed to be columnar or flat for easy gripping by the user.

[0030] Please refer to this application for further details. Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the atomizing device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cross-section along the BB direction. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 4As shown, the power supply unit 300 can be pre-assembled with the atomizing mechanism 200.

[0031] These two figures show the internal structure of the atomizing device 10. In this embodiment, the atomizing device 10 can be specifically divided into a liquid storage mechanism 100, an atomizing mechanism 200, and a power supply device 300.

[0032] The liquid storage mechanism 100 is the lower component of the atomizing device 10, and its overall shape can be cup-shaped or bottle-shaped. For example... Figure 4 As shown in the cross-sectional view, the liquid storage mechanism 100 has a liquid storage space inside, which can be used to store liquid matrix.

[0033] The atomizing mechanism 200 is an intermediate component connecting the liquid storage mechanism 100 and the power supply device 300, and is the core component for realizing the atomization function. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the atomizing mechanism 200 is a compact integrated unit with a complex internal structure, mainly used to house working elements such as the liquid storage chamber and atomizing components. The lower part of the atomizing mechanism 200 is designed to cooperate with the liquid storage mechanism 100, while its upper structure is designed to cooperate with the power supply device 300.

[0034] The power supply unit 300 is an upper component of the atomizing device 10. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the power supply unit 300 can house electronic components such as batteries and circuit boards. Its main function is to provide electrical energy to the atomizing mechanism 200 to heat the atomized liquid matrix.

[0035] Please refer to this application as well. Figures 5 to 7 It shows a structural diagram of the liquid storage mechanism 100 in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the liquid storage mechanism 100. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the liquid storage mechanism 100 at one angle in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the liquid storage mechanism 100 from another angle in the embodiments of this application.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, the liquid storage mechanism 100 includes a liquid storage shell 110, the interior of which defines a first liquid storage chamber 120 for storing a liquid matrix. In this embodiment, the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 120 can be designed to be relatively large, for example, 8 to 12 ml, to meet the needs of users for long-term use. Specifically, the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 120 can be 8 ml, 9 ml, 10 ml, 11 ml, or 12 ml, and those skilled in the art can design it according to specific requirements. One end of the liquid storage shell 110 is provided with an opening 140 communicating with the first liquid storage chamber 120. This opening 140 is the inlet for injecting the liquid matrix into the liquid storage mechanism 100, and also the assembly port for assembling and connecting the liquid storage mechanism 100 with the atomizing mechanism 200.

[0037] The liquid storage housing 110 also includes a first aerosol output channel 130. This first aerosol output channel 130 can be a tubular structure located in the middle of the liquid storage mechanism 100, with one end facing the opening 140 for connection to the air passage of the atomizing mechanism 200; the other end is connected to the nozzle 150 of the liquid storage housing 110. When the atomizing device 10 is working, aerosol is discharged from the nozzle 150 along the first aerosol output channel 130 for user use.

[0038] In this embodiment, the liquid storage shell 110, the first liquid storage chamber 120, the first aerosol output channel 130, the opening 140, and the nozzle 150 can be integrally molded using injection molding or other processes. The material can be food-grade plastics such as PCTG (polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexanedimethyl ester) to ensure structural stability and safety in use.

[0039] Please refer to this application as well. Figures 8 to 11 It shows a structural diagram of the atomizing mechanism 200 in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the atomizing mechanism 200 at one angle in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 This is an exploded view of the atomizing mechanism 200 in the embodiments of this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the atomizing mechanism 200 from another angle in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 yes Figure 10 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the atomizing mechanism 200 along the CC direction.

[0040] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the atomizing mechanism 200 mainly includes an atomizing housing 210 and some components such as a sealing element 260 housed in the atomizing housing 210. In this embodiment, the atomizing mechanism 200 is the core component for realizing the atomizing function.

[0041] like Figure 11As shown, the interior of the atomizing housing 210 defines a second liquid reservoir 220 for containing the liquid matrix. In this embodiment, the volume of the second liquid reservoir 220 can be designed to be relatively small, ranging from 1 to 2.5 ml. Specifically, the volume of the second liquid reservoir 220 can be 1 ml, 1.5 ml, 2.0 ml, or 2.5 ml, which can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0042] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second liquid storage chamber 220 may be provided with a liquid storage medium, such as liquid storage cotton, for absorbing and storing the liquid matrix flowing in from the first liquid storage chamber 120.

[0043] In this embodiment, the atomizing core 240 is disposed in the second liquid storage chamber 220, and the atomizing core 240 is used to heat and atomize the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 220 to generate an aerosol.

[0044] The atomizing housing 210 is also provided with a liquid inlet channel 250 communicating with the second liquid storage chamber 220. This liquid inlet channel 250 is used to connect the first liquid storage chamber 120 and the second liquid storage chamber 220. In this embodiment, as... Figure 9 As shown, two symmetrical liquid inlet channels 250 can be provided. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of liquid inlet channels 250 can be one or more, and their specific number and arrangement can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. This application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0045] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet channel 250 may include a first orifice section 251 and a second orifice section 252. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the first orifice 251 is positioned near the first liquid storage chamber 120, and the second orifice 252 is positioned near the second liquid storage chamber 220, with the diameter of the first orifice 251 being larger than that of the second orifice 252. This design, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, facilitates the smooth flow of the liquid matrix from the first liquid storage chamber 120 into the second liquid storage chamber 220 during assembly, while effectively preventing the liquid matrix from flowing back from the second liquid storage chamber 220 into the first liquid storage chamber 120 after assembly.

[0046] The atomizing housing 210 also has a second aerosol output channel 230 in the middle. One end of the channel is connected to the atomizing core 240 to export the generated aerosol, and the other end is set away from the atomizing core 240 to connect with the first aerosol output channel 130 of the liquid storage mechanism 100.

[0047] like Figure 8 and 9As shown, the end of the atomizing mechanism 200 away from the atomizing core 240 is also provided with a sealing element 260. The sealing element 260 is used to provide a reliable seal after the atomizing mechanism 200 and the liquid storage mechanism 100 are assembled, to prevent leakage of the liquid matrix, and to ensure the airtightness of the aerosol delivery path, thereby ensuring stable operation of the device and a good user experience. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sealing element 260 can be divided into a first sealing element 261 and a second sealing element 262. The first sealing element 261 is at least partially sandwiched between the outer wall of the atomizing housing 210 and the inner wall of the liquid storage housing 110, and is used to achieve a seal between the two when the atomizing mechanism 200 and the liquid storage mechanism 100 are assembled. The second sealing element 262 is at least partially sandwiched between the outer wall of the first aerosol output channel 130 and the inner wall of the second aerosol output channel 230, and is used to achieve a seal of the air path when the two aerosol output channels are connected. In this embodiment, the first seal 261 and the second seal 262 may be made of elastic materials such as silicone to ensure excellent sealing performance.

[0048] As mentioned above, the atomizing device 10 provided in this application embodiment achieves beneficial effects such as convenient installation, simple operation, fewer oil filling times, and fewer required sealing parts through its unique structural design.

[0049] Specifically, the liquid storage mechanism 100 can be inverted so that its opening 140 faces upward. Then, the required amount of liquid matrix for the atomizing device 10 can be injected into the first liquid storage chamber 120 in one go through the opening 140.

[0050] After the liquid injection is completed, keeping the liquid storage mechanism 100 in an inverted state, the atomizing mechanism 200 (which can be pre-connected to the power supply device 300) is assembled with the liquid storage mechanism 100. During this assembly process, the atomizing housing 210 of the atomizing mechanism 200 extends into the opening 140, sealing the opening 140 and enabling communication between the gas and liquid paths of the two mechanisms. In this connected state, at least a portion of the first sealing member 261 is sandwiched between the outer wall of the atomizing housing 210 and the inner wall of the liquid storage housing 110, achieving an external seal for the first liquid storage chamber 120. Simultaneously, at least a portion of the second sealing member 262 is sandwiched between the outer wall of the first aerosol output channel 130 and the inner wall of the second aerosol output channel 230, achieving an internal seal for the aerosol transmission path.

[0051] After assembly, due to the compression caused by the insertion of the atomizing mechanism 200, a portion of the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 120 flows into the second liquid storage chamber 220 through the liquid inlet channel 250, and can be absorbed by the liquid storage medium in the second liquid storage chamber 220. The inlet channel 250 is designed with a wider end near the first liquid storage chamber 120 and a narrower end near the second liquid storage chamber 220. This structure facilitates rapid entry of the liquid matrix under pressure and effectively prevents backflow of the liquid matrix from the second liquid storage chamber 220 after assembly, enhancing the device's leak-proof performance.

[0052] When the atomizing device 10 is in use, the power supply 300 supplies power to the atomizing core 240, which heats the liquid matrix absorbed by the storage medium in the second liquid storage chamber 220 to form an aerosol. This aerosol flows along the connected second aerosol output channel 230 and the first aerosol output channel 130, eventually reaching the mouthpiece 150 for the user to inhale.

[0053] This embodiment of the application simplifies the traditional process of multiple injections and assemblies into a single injection and assembly by designing the liquid storage mechanism 100 and the atomizing mechanism 200 as structures that can be inverted for liquid injection and assembly in one go, greatly improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the large volume of the first liquid storage chamber 120 and the small volume of the second liquid storage chamber 220 ensure that the device has sufficient liquid matrix reserves while maintaining the liquid volume in the working area at an optimal level. Furthermore, since the liquid matrix enters the second liquid storage chamber 220 and is absorbed by the liquid storage medium after assembly, the atomizing core 240 is fully wetted before the user's first use, ensuring that the user can quickly obtain aerosol upon first use, significantly improving the user experience. The optimization of the overall structure of the atomizing device 10 also reduces the number of required seals, thereby effectively reducing production costs.
