Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tobacco products (such as cigarettes, cigars, etc.) produce tobacco smoke by burning tobacco during use. Efforts are being made to replace these tobacco-burning products by creating products that release compounds without combustion.

[0003] Examples of such products are heating devices that release compounds by heating rather than burning materials. For example, the material could be tobacco or other non-tobacco products, which may or may not contain nicotine. As another example, aerosol-generating articles exist, such as so-called atomizers. These devices typically contain a liquid matrix that is heated to vaporize, thereby producing an inhalable aerosol. This liquid matrix may contain nicotine and / or flavorings and / or aerosol-generating substances (e.g., glycerin). Aerosol-generating devices are capable of heating aerosol-generating articles such as cigarettes to form smoke, which, due to its high nicotine and flavor content, effectively satisfies the habitual cravings of smokers.

[0004] Currently, there is a type of atomizing device on the market that includes a main body with an atomizing electrode and a cartridge with a cartridge electrode. The cartridge has a working state where it extends out from the main body and a retracted state where it is stored inside the main body. In the working state, the atomizing electrode of the main body and the cartridge electrode of the cartridge are in contact to supply power to the cartridge. In the retracted state, the atomizing electrode of the main body and the cartridge electrode of the cartridge are disconnected. However, the cartridge electrode and the atomizing electrode are prone to wear after repeated switching on and off, resulting in poor electrical contact. Utility Model Content

[0028] Reference Figures 1-10 This application provides an atomizing device 10, which includes a housing 100, a first electrode 200, an atomizing module 900, a second electrode 400, and a power supply (not shown).

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 100 has a receiving cavity 110, which includes an opening 111 communicating with the outside.

[0030] In some embodiments, a power source is used to provide power, and the power source may be located within the housing 100.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first electrode 200 may be connected to a power source and partially exposed within the receiving cavity 110, while the atomizing module 900 is at least partially movably disposed within the receiving cavity 110, i.e., it may be movable relative to the receiving cavity 110.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the atomizing module 900 includes an atomizer 20 for atomizing an aerosol forming matrix to generate an aerosol, and a slide 300 for supporting the atomizer 20, wherein the second electrode 400 can be disposed on the slide 300.

[0033] The atomizing module 900 can be configured in a first state, where it extends at least partially through an opening into the receiving cavity 110 relative to the housing 100 to provide inhalation for the user, and in a second state, where it is completely retracted within the receiving cavity 110. Specifically, in the first state, the atomizing module 900 can partially extend through the opening into the receiving cavity 110, such as the mouthpiece of the atomizer 20 extending through the opening into the receiving cavity 110, thus providing inhalation for the user. In the second state, when not in use, the atomizing module 900 can be completely retracted into the receiving cavity 110 to prevent contamination of the mouthpiece of the atomizer 20 or other components, or to avoid inconvenience in carrying it.

[0034] In some embodiments, the slide 300 can slide within the receiving cavity 110 along a first direction, thereby switching the atomizing module 900 between a first state and a second state. When the atomizing module 900 is in the first state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 remain in contact to achieve electrical connection. When the atomizing module 900 is in the second state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 are separated. Furthermore, the engagement direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 approaching or moving away from each other is substantially parallel to the first direction. Compared to a scheme where the engagement direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 is set to be perpendicular to the first direction, this allows the degree of contact (engagement) between the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 to be adjusted when wear occurs, thus ensuring the electrical contact effect of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first direction may specifically be the length direction of the receiving cavity 110 or its extension direction.

[0036] In the above embodiments, an atomizing device 10 is provided, including a housing 100, a power supply, a first electrode 200, an atomizing module 900, and a second electrode 400. The housing 100 forms a receiving cavity 110 including an opening. The first electrode 200 is connected to the power supply and partially exposed within the receiving cavity 110. The atomizing module 900 is at least partially movably disposed within the receiving cavity 110. The atomizing module 900 includes an atomizer 20 for atomizing an aerosol forming matrix to generate an aerosol and a slide 300 for supporting the atomizer 20. The second electrode 400 is disposed on the slide 300. The atomizing module 900 is configured relative to the housing 100. The atomizing module 900 has a first state in which it extends at least partially through an opening into the receiving cavity 110 to provide inhalation for the user, and a second state in which it is completely retracted into the receiving cavity 110. The slide 300 can slide within the receiving cavity 110 along a first direction, thereby switching the atomizing module 900 between the first and second states. When the atomizing module 900 is in the first state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 remain in contact to achieve electrical connection. When the atomizing module 900 is in the second state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 separate. Furthermore, the engagement direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400, which approaches or moves away from each other, is substantially parallel to the first direction. Thus, when not in use, the atomizing module 900 (atomizer 20) can be stored in the receiving cavity 110, avoiding direct exposure to air and reducing the impact of dust on the atomizing module 900 (atomizer 20), thereby effectively improving the inhalation experience. On the other hand, since the engagement direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400, which approaches or moves away from each other, is basically parallel to the first direction, on the one hand, the atomizing module 900 can be powered only in the first state (use state), which is beneficial to improving the durability of the atomizing device 10. On the other hand, when the first electrode 200 and / or the second electrode 400 are worn, the degree of contact (engagement) between the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 can be adjusted to ensure the effect of electrical contact.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 includes an abutment platform 120 facing away from the opening 111, and the first electrode 200 is disposed on the abutment platform 120. The slide 300 is used to assemble the atomizer 20, and the slide 300 includes an assembly tube 330 for holding the atomizer 20 and a wing 310 extending laterally from the assembly tube 330.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 20 consists of an atomizing shell 21, an atomizing core 22, and a mouthpiece 23. After being powered on, the atomizing core 22 can atomize the aerosol forming matrix and mix it with air to form an aerosol, which can then flow out through the mouthpiece 23 for the user to inhale.

[0039] In some embodiments, the aerosol forming matrix may be a liquid e-liquid or other solid / liquid that can form an aerosol after atomization.

[0040] In some embodiments, the atomizing shell 21 defines a liquid storage chamber 24 and an atomizing airway 25. The liquid storage chamber 24 is used to store e-liquid. The atomizing core 22 can be disposed in the atomizing airway 25. The mouthpiece 23 defines an air outlet that communicates with the atomizing airway 25. The user can inhale the aerosol formed by the atomizing airway 25 through the air outlet.

[0041] In some embodiments, the slide 300 is used to assemble the atomizer 20.

[0042] In some embodiments, the atomizer 20 may be fixedly mounted on the slide 300.

[0043] In some embodiments, the atomizer 20 can be detachably mounted relative to the slide 300. After the aerosol forming matrix in the atomizer 20 is consumed, it is not necessary to replace the entire atomizing device 10; only the atomizer 20 needs to be replaced, which helps to reduce usage costs and improve user experience.

[0044] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 110 includes a first receiving area 112 and a second receiving area 113 that are in communication with each other. The first receiving area 112 is in communication with the opening 111, and the second receiving area 113 is in communication with the first receiving cavity 110 and is located in the direction away from the opening 111 of the first receiving area 112.

[0045] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 110 extends longitudinally along the atomizing device 10, wherein the opening 111, the first receiving area 112, and the second receiving area 113 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing device 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the slide 300 includes an assembly tube 330 for holding the atomizer 20 and a wing 320 extending laterally from the assembly tube 330, and the second electrode 400 may be disposed on the wing 320. In some embodiments, the first receiving area 112 and the second receiving area 113 may have the same cross-sectional size.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first receiving area 112 and the second receiving area 113 can be smoothly connected.

[0048] In some embodiments, both the assembly cylinder 330 and the wing 320 can slide within the receiving cavity 110 along a first direction, specifically within the first receiving area 112 and the second receiving area 113. The inner wall of the first receiving area 112 or the second receiving area 113 extends inward to form an abutment platform 120 opposite to the opening 111, and the first electrode 200 is disposed on the abutment platform 120. During the sliding of the assembly cylinder 330 and the wing 320 along the first direction, the second electrode 400 on the wing 320 can abut against the first electrode 200 on the abutment platform 120.

[0049] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the second receiving region 113 is larger than the cross-section of the first receiving region 112, which is not limited here.

[0050] In some embodiments, the wing 320 can slide in a first direction within the second receiving area 113, thereby switching the atomizing module 900 between a first state and a second state.

[0051] In some embodiments, the assembly cylinder 330 can slide along a first direction within the first receiving area 112 and / or the second receiving area 113, thereby switching the atomizing module 900 between a first state and a second state.

[0052] In some embodiments, the wing 310 can slide in the second receiving area 113 along a first direction to have a first state in which the atomizing module 900 (atomizer 20) extends relative to the opening 111 and a second state in which the atomizing module 900 is completely retracted into the receiving cavity 110. When in the first state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 engage / abut against each other in the first direction of the wing to achieve electrical connection.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first electrode 200 can be used to connect to the power supply of the atomizing device 10, and the second electrode 400 can be used to connect to the atomizer 20 to supply power to the atomizer 20. Specifically, it can be indirectly connected to the atomizer 20. When the atomizing module 900 is in the first state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 abut against each other in the first direction, so that the second electrode 400 can be electrically connected to the first electrode 200, thereby enabling the power supply to supply power to the atomizer 20.

[0054] In a specific scenario, the wing 310 slides along a first direction within the second receiving area 113, thereby enabling the atomizing module 900 to have a first state and a second state. In the first state, the atomizer 20 of the atomizing module 900 can extend relative to the opening 111. This extension can be partial or full, specifically the mouthpiece 23 can extend relative to the opening 111, making it easier for the user to inhale. In the second state, the wing 310 can retract the atomizer 20 into the receiving cavity 110, specifically the mouthpiece 23 can retract into the receiving cavity 110, which helps protect the mouthpiece 23 and reduces the impact of dust and other contaminants on the mouthpiece 23.

[0055] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the atomizing device 10 includes an elastic member 500 disposed between the slide 300 and the housing 100. The elastic member 500 is used to provide an elastic force that causes the atomizing module 900 to slide toward the opening 111, thereby allowing the atomizing module 900 to switch from a second state to a first state.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the elastic element 500 includes a compression spring 510, which is at least partially located in the second receiving area 113, with one end abutting against the slide 300 and the other end abutting against the housing 100 (specifically located in the housing 100 in the direction away from the opening 111 in the second receiving area 113), thereby enabling the elastic element 500 to provide an elastic force that allows the atomizing module 900 to switch from the second state to the first state.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slide block 300 also includes a fixing part 320, which has a first elastic fixing groove 321 formed in the direction away from the opening 111. One end of the elastic member 500, specifically one end of the compression spring 510, is located in the first elastic fixing groove 321. This helps to keep the elastic member 500 and the slide block 300 in a relatively stable contact and improves the directional stability of the elastic force.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 100 also has a second elastic fixing groove 140 opposite to the first elastic fixing groove 321. The other end of the compression spring 510 is located in the second elastic fixing groove 140, which helps to ensure the stability of the compression spring 510.

[0059] In some embodiments, the elastic element 500 includes a tension spring, one end of which may be connected to the slide 300 and the other end to the housing 100 (specifically, the housing 100 located in the direction of the second receiving area 113 toward the opening 111), so that the elastic element 500 can provide an elastic force that causes the wing 310 to switch from the second state to the first state.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the abutment platform 120 also includes an abutment surface 121 that is away from the opening 111 and faces the second receiving area 113, and the first electrode 200 can be disposed on the abutment surface 121.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first electrode 200 may protrude from the abutment surface 121.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first electrode 200 may be disposed flush with the abutment surface 121.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first electrode 200 may be recessed relative to the abutment surface 121.

[0064] In some embodiments, the elastic member 500 is configured to apply an elastic force to the second electrode 400 to maintain contact with the first electrode 200.

[0065] In some embodiments, the abutment platform 120 and / or the first electrode 200 are used to limit the atomizing module 900 during the travel of the wing 310 toward the opening 111 (so that the elastic member 500 still maintains a certain deformation) so that the elastic member 500 provides an elastic force for the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 to elastically abut when the atomizing module 900 is in the first state.

[0066] In a specific scenario, during the stroke of the atomizing module 900 as the elastic force of the elastic element 500 moves towards the opening 111, i.e., the stroke from the second state to the first state, the abutment platform 120 and / or the first electrode 200 can restrict the movement of the atomizing module 900 (wing 310). Specifically, this can be achieved by the abutment surface 121 abutting against the wing 310 and / or the first electrode 200 abutting against the second electrode 400, thereby restricting the wing 310 from moving further towards the opening 111. This keeps the wing 310 in the first state, and since the elastic element 500 still retains its elastic force (i.e., it is still in a compressed state), on the one hand, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 can elastically abut against each other, thereby improving the electrical connection stability of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400. On the other hand, it can improve the stability of the wing 310 in the first state, making it less prone to shaking due to external forces. Compared to the scheme where the contact direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 is set perpendicular to the sliding direction of the wing 310 (e.g., the first electrode 200 is set on the side wall of the second receiving area 113 and the second electrode 400 is set on the side wall of the wing 310), by setting the contact direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 parallel to the sliding direction of the wing 310, the elastic force of the elastic member 500 used to drive the wing 310 to slide is effectively utilized, which is advantageous in terms of saving costs and improving the electrical connection stability of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400.

[0067] In some embodiments, a third magnetic member 313 is also provided on the wing 310, and a fourth magnetic member (not shown) is also provided on the abutment platform 120 / abutment surface 121. The third magnetic member 313 and the fourth magnetic member can be magnetically attracted to each other, so that the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 can maintain a more stable electrical connection.

[0068] In some embodiments, the connection position of the first receiving area 112 and the second receiving area 113 defines the abutment platform 120, that is, the cross-section of the second receiving area 113 is larger than that of the first receiving area 112, so that the housing 100 forms an abutment platform 120 connecting the first receiving area 112 and the second receiving area 113.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding atomizing device 10 includes a third electrode 600 disposed on the wing portion 310 or the mounting cylinder 330 and electrically connected to the second electrode 400. The third electrode 600 is used to electrically connect to the atomizer 20.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the assembly tube 330 forms an assembly chamber 331 for removably accommodating the atomizer 20.

[0071] In some embodiments, a third electrode 600 is provided at the bottom of the assembly chamber 331, which can be used to guide current to the atomizer 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, the third electrode 600 can specifically be electrically connected to the second electrode 400 to guide current to the atomizer 20.

[0073] In some embodiments, the assembly chamber 331 communicates with the first receiving area 112, and the slot of the assembly chamber 331 is disposed opposite to the opening 111 of the atomizing device 10, so that during assembly, the atomizer 20 can enter the assembly chamber 331 through the opening 111, the first receiving area 112, and the slot, thereby being assembled in the assembly chamber 331 (slide 300). This is beneficial to the assembly stability of the atomizer 20 and reduces the friction between the atomizer 20 and the housing 100 during sliding, thereby improving the lifespan of the atomizer 20.

[0074] In some embodiments, a fifth magnetic element (not shown) may be provided in the assembly chamber 331, and a sixth magnetic element (not shown) may be provided on the atomizer 20. When the assembly chamber 331 accommodates the atomizer 20, the fifth magnetic element and the sixth magnetic element can magnetically engage to improve the assembly stability of the atomizer 20.

[0075] In some embodiments, the third electrode 600 is disposed on the bottom of the groove of the assembly chamber 331 away from the opening 111. The third electrode 600 can be directly electrically connected to the atomizer 20 and is electrically connected to the power supply in sequence through the second electrode 400 and the first electrode 200, thereby supplying power to the atomizer 20.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fifth magnetic element may also be disposed on the bottom of the groove of the assembly chamber 331 away from the opening 111. This design is beneficial to the magnetic attraction force generated by the fifth and sixth magnetic elements being parallel to the electrical connection direction of the third electrode 600 and the atomizing core 22, which is beneficial to the electrical connection stability of the atomizer 20 and the third electrode 600.

[0077] In some embodiments, the slide 300 further defines an air supply channel R2 for supplying air to the atomizer 20. The air supply channel R2 includes an assembly chamber 331, a through hole 332 formed on the side wall of the assembly cylinder 330 and communicating with the assembly chamber 331, and a through groove 333 communicating with the through hole 332 and the second receiving area 113. The through groove 333 is formed by the indentation of the outer surface of the side wall of the assembly cylinder 330 and the outer surface of the support side wall of the wing 310.

[0078] In some embodiments, the atomizing air passage 25 of the atomizer 20 is connected to the assembly chamber 331.

[0079] In some embodiments, the sidewalls of the assembly cylinder 330 and the wing 310 abut against the housing 100, such that the surface of the through groove 333 formed by the assembly cylinder 330 and the wing 310 corresponding to the housing 100 is blocked by the housing 100, so that the through groove 333 forms a through channel connecting the through hole 332 and the second receiving area 113. By forming the through groove 333 in the outer surface of the cylinder sidewall of the assembly cylinder 330 and the outer surface of the support sidewall of the wing 310, and cooperating with the housing 100 to form the through groove 333, compared with directly opening the channel on the outer surface of the cylinder sidewall of the assembly cylinder 330 and the support sidewall of the wing 310, the grooving process requirements are lower, the opening accuracy can be effectively controlled, and it is advantageous in terms of cost reduction.

[0080] In some embodiments, the housing 100 also has an air inlet (not shown) communicating with the second receiving area 113 for introducing outside air into the second receiving area 113.

[0081] In some embodiments, the air inlet may be located on the side wall or the bottom wall of the housing 100, which is not limited here.

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown, when the atomizing device 10 and atomizer 20 are in use, the entire air passage includes the following: Air intake passage R1: includes an air intake port defined by housing 100 and a second receiving area 113; Air supply channel R2: a through groove 333 (or a through channel defined by the bracket sidewall of the wing 310 and the cylinder sidewall of the assembly cylinder 330 and the shell 100) formed by the bracket sidewall of the wing 310 and the cylinder sidewall of the assembly cylinder 330, a through hole 332 defined by the assembly cylinder 330, and an assembly chamber 331. The atomizing channel R3, the atomizing air passage 25 defined by the atomizing shell 21, and the air outlet 27 defined by the mouthpiece 23.

[0083] In the above embodiments, by assembling the atomizer 20 in the assembly chamber 331, the assembly chamber 331 and the atomizer 20 are kept relatively stable, that is, the atomization channel R3 and the air supply channel R2 are kept stably connected. By connecting the through groove 333 to the second receiving area 113, the second receiving area 113 becomes part of the entire air passage. In this way, no matter how the slide 300 / wing 310 slides relative to the housing 100, the through groove 333 can ensure the connection between the second receiving area 113, the through hole 332 and the assembly chamber 331, that is, the air supply channel R2 and the air intake channel R1 are kept stably connected. And by opening an air inlet in the housing 100 to connect to the second receiving area 113, the air intake of the second receiving area 113 can be effectively guaranteed. This overall design is advantageous in ensuring the stability of the air supply.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the atomizing assembly also includes a easing assembly 700, which includes a first easing member 710 disposed on the slide 300 and a second easing member 720 disposed on the housing 100.

[0085] The second easing member 720 cooperates with the first easing member 710 to provide a limiting force opposite to the elastic force to the slide block 3000 when it slides relative to the housing 100 toward the opening 111.

[0086] In specific scenarios, the elastic element 500 provides elastic force, which may cause the slide 300 to slide too fast when it slides relative to the housing 100 toward the opening 111 (i.e., when switching from the second state to the first state). On the one hand, this may cause the instantaneous contact force between the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 to be too large, thus damaging the first electrode 200 / second electrode 400. On the other hand, the mouthpiece 23 of the atomizer 20 may extend from the outlet too quickly and touch the user, causing injury. By providing the slowing component 700, the cooperation of the first slowing component 710 and the second slowing component 720 provides a limiting force opposite to the elastic force to the wing 310, similar to a damping effect, to reduce the speed and momentum of the slide 300 when it slides, thereby effectively improving its stability when switching from the second state to the first state and greatly reducing the wear and tear on the first electrode 200 / second electrode 400. This is beneficial in improving the lifespan of the atomizing device 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first easing member 710 may be specifically disposed on the wing 310.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first easing member 710 includes a first magnetic member 711 disposed on the slide 300, and the second easing member 720 includes a second magnetic member 721 disposed on the housing 100 for magnetically engaging with the first magnetic member 711. The magnetic engagement of the first magnetic member 711 and the second magnetic member 721 increases the mutual force between the slide 300 and the housing 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, the magnetic attraction force of the first magnetic member 711 and the second magnetic member 721 can be parallel to the direction of the elastic force. The first magnetic member 711 and the second magnetic member 721 can cooperate to provide a repulsive force opposite to the elastic force (e.g., the second magnetic member 721 is disposed on the abutment platform 120 and the first magnetic member 711 is disposed on the wing 310 to form a repulsive force). Alternatively, the first magnetic member 711 and the second magnetic member 721 can cooperate to provide an attraction force opposite to the elastic force (e.g., the second magnetic member 721 is disposed on the housing 100 located in the second receiving area 113 away from the opening 111 and the first magnetic member 711 is disposed on the wing 310 to form an attraction force).

[0090] In some embodiments, the magnetic attraction force of the first magnetic member 711 and the second magnetic member 721 can be perpendicular to the direction of the elastic force, so that when the wing 310 and the housing 100 slide relative to each other, the first magnetic member 711 and the second magnetic member 721 / wing 310 and the housing 100 provide a frictional force opposite to the elastic force, and the frictional force can be effectively increased due to the magnetic attraction force.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first magnetic attractor 711 may specifically include a magnet, and the second magnetic attractor 721 includes a ferromagnetic metal strip disposed on the housing 100 and arranged longitudinally along the second receiving area 113. Through the cooperation of the magnet and the ferromagnetic metal strip, during the sliding process of the wing 310 and the housing 100, the magnet and the ferromagnetic metal strip maintain a continuous magnetic attraction force, thereby forming a continuous friction force, making the sliding process of the entire wing 310 smooth. This is beneficial to improving the lifespan of the entire atomizing device 10 and the user experience.

[0092] In some embodiments, the ferromagnetic metal strip may be made of a permanent magnet material.

[0093] In some embodiments, the ferromagnetic metal strip may be made of ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, which are magnetizable metals.

[0094] In other embodiments, the first magnetic member 711 is specifically a ferromagnetic metal strip, and the second magnetic member 721 can be a magnetic member, which is not limited here.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first retardant 710 includes a first tooth 712 disposed on the wing 310, and the second retardant 720 includes a second tooth 722 disposed on the housing 100 and used to mesh with the first tooth 712. Through the meshing of the first tooth 712 and the second tooth 722, a rotational friction force can be formed between the first tooth 712 and the second tooth 722, which is converted into a restraining force opposite to the elastic force.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first gear 712 includes a gear component disposed on the wing portion 310, and the second gear 722 includes a rack disposed on the housing 100 and arranged longitudinally along the second receiving area 113. During the sliding process of the wing portion 310 and the housing 100, the gear component and the rack maintain continuous meshing, thereby forming a continuous restraining force, making the entire sliding process of the wing portion 310 smooth, which is beneficial to improving the lifespan of the entire atomizing device 10 and the user experience.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first gear 712 includes a rack disposed on the wing 310, and the second gear 722 includes a gear disposed on the housing 100 and arranged longitudinally along the second receiving area 113.

[0098] In an alternative embodiment, a fixing groove 324 for assembling the first easing member 710 is formed on the side wall of the fixing part 320, which is advantageous in saving space of the entire atomizing device 10 and is advantageous in terms of miniaturization.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first easing member 710 includes a first sliding member (not shown) disposed on the slide block, and the second easing member includes a second sliding member (not shown) disposed on the housing 100 and used for elastic sliding engagement with the first sliding member.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first slider includes an elastic ball bearing (not shown) disposed on the slide block 300, and the second slider includes a guide rail (not shown) disposed on the housing 100 and arranged longitudinally along the sliding path of the slide block 300.

[0101] In some embodiments, the elastic ball can be elastically slidably engaged with the guide rail. While guiding, the elastic compressive force generated between them can be used to create a limiting force between the elastic ball and the guide rail that is opposite to the elastic force provided by the elastic member 500.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the atomizing device 10 also includes a sealing member 800 movably disposed on the housing 100. The sealing member 800 has a closed state of closing the opening 111 and an open state of opening the opening 111. When the sealing member 800 is in the closed state, it can be used to restrict the atomizer 20 from extending out of the opening 111 so that the wing 310 is in the second state.

[0103] In some embodiments, the sealing member 800 can be slidably disposed on the housing 100 and can slide relative to the housing 100 under the action of external force, thereby moving closer to or further away from the opening 111 to achieve the closed state of closing the opening 111 and the open state of opening the opening 111.

[0104] In a specific scenario, when the user needs to use the atomizing device 10, the blocking member 800 can be moved to open the opening 111. At this time, since the mouthpiece 23 of the atomizer 20 is not restricted by the blocking member 800, the elastic force provided by the elastic member 500 and the restrictive force provided by the slowing component 700 work together to allow the slide 300 / wing 310 to slide relative to the housing 100 / slide in the first receiving area 112 toward the opening 111, thereby causing the atomizer 20 on the slide 300 to extend out of the opening 111. When the contact surface 121 abuts against the wing 310 and / or the first electrode 200 abuts against the second electrode 400, the wing 310 is restricted from moving further toward the opening 111, and the wing 310 enters the first state. When the user does not need to use the atomizing device 10, the atomizer 20 can be pressed to overcome the elastic force and the friction / other limiting force that the slowing component 700 may provide, so that the slide 300 / wing 310 can slide relative to the housing 100 / slide away from the opening 111 in the first receiving area 112. When the mouthpiece 23 is retracted into the receiving cavity 110, the sealing member 800 can be moved to enter the closed state of closing the opening 111, thereby limiting the atomizer 20, and the wing 310 enters the second state.

[0105] In some embodiments, the atomizing device 10 further includes a retaining assembly, which includes a first retaining member disposed on the slide and a second retaining member disposed on the housing; The first retainer and the second retainer cooperate to put the atomizing module in the first state.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first retainer may be a third magnetic member 313 disposed on the slide 300 (wing 310), and the second retainer may be a fourth magnetic member (not shown) disposed on the abutment platform 120 / abutment surface 121. The third magnetic member 313 and the fourth magnetic member can be magnetically attracted to each other, so that the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 can maintain a more stable electrical connection, so that the atomizing module 900 can be in the first state.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first retainer may be a first latching member disposed on the slide 300 (wing 310), and the second retainer may be a second latching member disposed on the housing. The first latching member and the second latching member cooperate to keep the atomizing module 900 in the first state.

[0108] In some embodiments, the retaining component further includes a third latching member disposed on the housing, which can cooperate with the first latching member to retain the atomizing module 900 in the second state.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first retainer may be a protrusion disposed on the slide 300 (wing 310), and the second retainer may be disposed in a groove of the housing. The protrusion and the groove cooperate to keep the atomizing module 900 in the first state.

[0110] This application also provides an atomizing device 10, including a housing 100 forming a longitudinally arranged receiving cavity 110, the receiving cavity 110 including an opening 111. An atomizing module 900 is at least partially movably disposed within the receiving cavity 110; the atomizing module 900 includes an atomizer 20 for atomizing an aerosol forming matrix to generate an aerosol and a slide 300 for supporting the atomizer 20; the atomizing module 900 is configured to have a first state in which it extends at least partially through the opening 111 out of the receiving cavity 110 relative to the housing 100 to provide inhalation for a user, and a second state in which it is completely retracted within the receiving cavity 110. A retardation assembly 700 includes a first retarder 710 disposed on the slide 300 and a second retarder 720 disposed on the housing 100. The elastic element 500 is disposed between the slide 300 and the housing 100 to provide an elastic force that causes the slide 300 to slide toward the opening 111 so that the atomizing module 900 switches from the second state to the first state. During the sliding of the slide 300, the easing component 700 is configured to cooperate with the second easing component 720 and the first easing component 710 to provide the slide 300 with a limiting force opposite to the elastic force.

[0111] This application also provides a main body 40 for an atomizing device, which removably receives an atomizer 20, including a housing 100, a power source, a first electrode 200, a slide 300, and a second electrode 400. The housing 100 forms a receiving cavity 110, which includes an opening 111 communicating with the outside. The power source is used to provide power. The first electrode 200 is connected to the power source and partially exposed in the receiving cavity 110. The slide 300 is used to receive and hold at least a portion of the atomizer 20. The slide 300 includes an assembly tube 330 for holding the atomizer 20 and a wing 310 extending laterally from the assembly tube 330. The second electrode 200 is disposed on the wing 310.

[0112] The slide 300 is configured to slide within the receiving cavity 110 along a first direction and switch between a first state and a second state. When the slide 300 is in the first state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 remain in contact to achieve electrical connection. When the slide 300 is in the second state, the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 are separated. The engagement direction of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 400 approaching or moving away from each other is substantially parallel to the first direction.
