Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Electronic atomizing devices generally include an atomizer and a power supply. The power supply provides power to the atomizer. The atomizer includes a liquid reservoir, an atomizing coil, and an atomization channel. The liquid reservoir stores the liquid aerosol generation matrix, and the atomization module heats and atomizes the liquid aerosol generation matrix after power is applied to generate an absorbable aerosol. The aerosol can flow through the atomization channel. In related technologies, the atomization channel of flat atomizers typically extends along the thickness of the atomizer. The gas outflow in the atomization channel needs to bypass the front and rear sides of the atomizing coil, resulting in an airflow channel between the atomizing coil and the front and rear side plates of the atomizer. This increases the overall thickness of the atomizer; for example, the atomizer thickness is usually greater than 10 mm, which reduces portability. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomizing device 200, which may include an atomizer 100, a mouthpiece 202, a controller 204, a power supply 206, a device housing 208, and a button 209.

[0030] In some embodiments, the atomizer 100 may be flat, having two mutually perpendicular width directions (x), thickness directions (y), and height directions (z). In some embodiments, the thickness of the atomizer 100 may be less than 10 mm, and further, less than 9 mm.

[0031] The atomizer 100 is used to contain a liquid aerosol generating matrix and, upon being powered on, heats and atomizes the liquid aerosol generating matrix to generate an aerosol. The liquid aerosol generating matrix includes, but is not limited to, materials used for medical or cosmetic purposes. A mouthpiece 202 is installed on the upper part of the atomizer 100. When inhaled, the mouthpiece 202 generates negative pressure, drawing the aerosol from the atomizer 100 to the mouthpiece 202 for release. A controller 204 and a power supply 206 are installed in the atomizer 100. The controller 204 controls the operation of the atomizer 100, and the power supply 206 provides power to the atomizer 100 and the controller 204. A housing 208 houses the lower part of the atomizer 100. A button 209 is installed between the controller 204 and the housing 208.

[0032] The atomizer 100 includes an atomizing housing and an atomizing core 10, an electrode 70, a liquid intake 80, and an airbag 90 installed within the atomizing housing. The atomizing housing contains a liquid storage chamber 101, an atomizing channel 102, an air outlet channel 103, an air inlet channel 104, and an activation airway 105. The atomizing housing may further include a chamber body 20, a mouthpiece seal 30, a support 40, a support seal 50, and an atomizing core seal 60.

[0033] A nozzle seal 30 is installed on the upper part of the chamber 20. An atomizing core 10 is installed inside the chamber 20, and an atomizing core seal 60 is installed between the atomizing core 10 and the chamber 20. The chamber 20, nozzle seal 30, atomizing core 10, and atomizing core seal 60 together form a liquid storage chamber 101, which is used to contain the liquid aerosol generating matrix. The atomizing core 10 is used to heat and atomize the liquid aerosol generating matrix to produce aerosol. A support 40 is installed on the lower part of the chamber 20, and the support 40 and the chamber 20 together form an atomization channel 102, which is used for aerosol flow. A liquid absorber 80 is contained within the atomization channel 102 and is used to absorb the condensate generated by aerosol condensation. The nozzle seal 30 and the chamber 20 together form an air outlet channel 103 and an activation air channel 105. The inlet of the air outlet channel 103 is connected to the atomizing channel 102, and the outlet of the air outlet channel 103 is connected to the nozzle 202. When the nozzle 202 is sucked, a negative pressure is generated, and the aerosol in the atomizing channel 102 is sucked into the nozzle 202 through the air outlet channel 103 for release.

[0034] The activation airway 105 connects the airbag 90 to the outlet airway 103, and the airbag 90 is connected to the controller 204. When the mouthpiece 202 is being inhaled, the gas inside the airbag 90 is drawn out through the activation airway 105 to contract, generating an activation signal in the controller 204 to control the atomizing core 10 to start heating and atomizing the liquid aerosol generating matrix. When the mouthpiece 202 stops being inhaled, the airbag 90 returns to its original position, generating a stop signal in the controller 204 to control the atomizing core 10 to stop heating and atomizing the liquid aerosol generating matrix. The outlet of the inlet airway 104 is connected to the atomizing channel 102, allowing air to be supplied to the atomizing channel 102 to balance the air pressure and adjust the suction resistance. The electrode 70 is mounted on the bracket 40 and electrically connected to the atomizing core 10 and the controller 204, used to conduct electrical energy from the controller 204 to the atomizing core 10.

[0035] The extension direction of the atomizing channel 102 (from the air inlet to the air outlet of the atomizing channel 102) is parallel to the width direction x of the atomizer 100, allowing the airflow to flow through the atomizing channel 102 in a direction parallel to the width direction x, effectively utilizing the space in the width direction x and saving the space in the thickness direction y.

[0036] The atomizing core 10 is located at the upper part of the atomization channel 102. The lower surface of the atomizing core 10 is the heating surface, which forms part of the inner wall of the atomization channel 102. This allows the aerosol atomized from the heating surface to enter the air flowing through the atomization channel 102 and be carried out of the atomizer 100 by the air. By placing the atomizing core 10 at the upper part of the atomization channel 102, and ensuring that the extension direction of the atomization channel 102 is parallel to the width direction x, the atomizing core 10 can be prevented from occupying space in the thickness direction y, thus avoiding an increase in the thickness of the atomizer 100.

[0037] The liquid storage chamber 101, the air outlet channel 103, and the activation air channel 105 are arranged sequentially in the width direction x. The extension direction of the air outlet channel 103 is parallel to the vertical direction z, just like the extension direction of the activation air channel 105. The inlet of the air outlet channel 103 is located at its lower end, and the outlet of the air outlet channel 103 is located at its upper end. The upper end of the activation air channel 105 connects to the upper end of the air outlet channel 103, and the lower end of the activation air channel 105 connects to the airbag 90. The air outlet channel 103 and the activation air channel 105 effectively utilize the space in the vertical direction z, saving space in the thickness direction y. The air outlet channel 103 and the activation air channel 105 are independent of each other. Since the connection point between the air outlet channel 103 and the activation air channel 105 is located at the upper end of the air outlet channel 103, the condensate generated by aerosol condensation is less likely to enter the activation air channel 105 through this connection point.

[0038] The atomizing core seal 60 can be made of sealing materials such as rubber or silicone. The atomizing core seal 60 is used to seal and prevent the liquid aerosol generation matrix in the liquid storage chamber 101 from entering the atomization channel 102 through the gap between the chamber body 20 and the atomizing core 10.

[0039] Please combine Figure 4 Referring to this embodiment, the atomizing core 10 is generally rectangular in shape, and its horizontal (i.e., perpendicular to the height z direction of the atomizer 100) cross-section has a major axis and a minor axis. The major axis is parallel to the width direction x, and the minor axis is parallel to the thickness direction y. Since the size of the major axis is larger than the size of the minor axis, arranging the major axis in the width direction x can effectively utilize the space in the width direction x, and arranging the minor axis in the thickness direction y can save space in the thickness direction y.

[0040] Understandably, the atomizer core 10 is not limited to a cuboid structure. Depending on the actual needs, the atomizer core 10 can also be designed as a cylindrical structure, ellipsoid, or semi-ellipsoid with a cross-section in the shape of a racetrack, ellipse, or polygon, as long as the dimension of the atomizer core 10 in the width direction x is greater than the dimension in the thickness direction y.

[0041] It is also understandable that, in some embodiments, the atomizing core 10 is not limited to having a dimension in the width direction x that is greater than the dimension in the thickness direction y, as long as the extension direction of the atomizing channel 102 is parallel to the width direction x of the atomizer 100.

[0042] The atomizing core 10 includes a substrate 12 and a heating element 14. The substrate 12 can be made of a porous material, such as porous ceramics. Several small pores are formed inside the substrate 12, through which the liquid aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage chamber 101 can seep into the substrate 12. The heating element 14 is located at the lower part of the substrate 12. After being energized, the heating element 14 heats the liquid aerosol generating matrix on the atomizing substrate 12 to generate aerosol. The aerosol seeps out of the substrate 12 and reaches the atomization channel 102.

[0043] Please combine Figures 5 to 8 For reference, the housing 20 includes a liquid storage compartment 21, an atomizing core mounting part 22, a first atomizing channel 23, a baffle 231, an air outlet channel 24, a start-up air channel 25, a battery compartment 26, a first housing clip 27, a second housing clip 28, and a third housing clip 29.

[0049] The baffle 231 is located at the entrance of the air outlet channel 103 and extends downward from the first atomizing channel component 23, that is, it extends downward from the upper part of the inner wall of the atomizing channel 102. It is used to allow the aerosol to enter the air outlet channel 103 smoothly with less turbulence and improve the efficiency of the aerosol flowing to the air outlet channel 103.

[0050] The starting airway component 25 extends in the vertical direction z. The starting airway component 25 has openings at both the upper and lower ends. The nozzle seal 30 covers the opening at the upper end of the starting airway component 25. The nozzle seal 30 and the starting airway component 25 together form the starting airway 105.

[0051] The lower end of the initiation airway component 25 extends into the airbag opening 92 of the airbag 90. The airbag 90 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone. The inner wall of the airbag opening 92 is provided with an airbag sealing part 94, which is press-fitted with the outer wall of the lower end of the initiation airway component 25.

[0052] The compartment 20 includes a partition 240. The partition 240 has two opposing side walls, which respectively form part of the inner wall of the air outlet passage 103 and part of the inner wall of the start-up air passage 105. A notch 242 is provided at the top of the partition 240, which penetrates the two side walls. The air outlet passage 103 and the start-up air passage 105 are connected through the notch 242.

[0053] Battery compartment 26 houses power supply 206.

[0054] The first compartment buckle 27 is located on the upper part of the battery compartment 26, and the second compartment buckle 28 and the third compartment buckle 29 are located on the first atomizing channel forming part 23. The first compartment buckle 27 and the second compartment buckle 28 engage the nozzle 202. The third compartment buckle 29 engages the bracket 40, so that the compartment 20 and the bracket 40 are connected and fixed by buckles. Depending on the actual needs, the compartment 20 and the bracket 40 can also be fixed by screws, rivets or other fasteners.

[0055] Please combine Figure 9 For reference, the nozzle seal 30 can be made of a sealing material such as rubber or silicone. The nozzle seal 30 has a liquid inlet 32 ​​and an air outlet 34. The liquid inlet 32 ​​is connected to the liquid storage tank 101, and the liquid aerosol generating matrix can be replenished into the liquid storage tank 101 through the liquid inlet 32. The nozzle 202 blocks the liquid inlet 32 ​​to prevent the liquid aerosol generating matrix in the liquid storage tank 101 from leaving through the liquid inlet 32. The air outlet 34 is connected between the nozzle 202 and the upper end of the air outlet channel constituting part 24. The air outlet 34 forms the upper section of the air outlet channel 103, and the air outlet channel constituting part 24 forms the lower section of the air outlet channel 103.

[0058] The liquid suction device 80 is installed inside the second atomizing channel component 42.

[0059] An air intake channel component 46 is disposed within the second atomizing channel component 42. The air intake channel component 46 extends vertically in the z-direction, with its upper end extending into the atomizing channel 102. The air intake channel component 46 is hollow, with openings at both its upper and lower ends, forming an air intake channel 104. The air intake channel 104 extends vertically in the z-direction, with its inlet located at its lower end and its outlet located at its upper end. A guide slope 460 is formed at the upper end of the air intake channel component 46, generally facing the atomizing core 10. The outlet of the air intake channel 104 is located on the guide slope 460, inclined towards the atomizing core 10, which can guide the air entering the atomizing channel 102, facilitating the airflow to reach the heating surface of the atomizing core 10.

[0060] The bracket seal 50 can be made of sealing materials such as rubber or silicone. The bracket seal 50 is sleeved on the outside of the second atomizing channel component 42 and is press-fitted with the inner wall of the first atomizing channel component 23. The bracket seal 50 is used to seal and prevent the aerosol in the atomizing channel 102 from leaving through the gap between the inner wall of the first atomizing channel component 23 and the outer wall of the second atomizing channel component 42.

[0061] The mounting cavity 44 is located at the lower part of the battery compartment 26 and the second atomizing channel 42, that is, at the lower part of the battery compartment 26 and the atomizing channel 102, and is connected to the lower end of the air intake channel 104. Air in the mounting cavity 44 can flow into the atomizing channel 102 through the air intake channel 104. The mounting cavity 44 is connected to the battery compartment 26 so that the lead-out end of the power supply 206 can extend to the mounting cavity 44 and be electrically connected to the controller 204.

[0062] A first charging port 440 is provided at the lower part of the mounting cavity 44, and the first charging port 440 is connected to the mounting cavity 44. Outside air can be supplied into the mounting cavity 44 through the first charging port 440.

[0065] Please combine Figure 15 and Figure 16Referring to the reference, the nozzle 202 includes a nozzle body 2020, a sealing plug 2022, an upper cover 2024, a first upper cover latch 2026, and a second upper cover latch 2028. The nozzle body 2020 is located on the upper part of the upper cover 2024, and the lower part of the upper cover 2024 forms a receiving space, in which the housing 20 is received, that is, the upper part of the atomizing shell is received within the receiving space. The nozzle body 2020 is connected to the air outlet 34. The upper cover 2024 presses the nozzle seal 30 against the housing 20 to separate the internal space of the nozzle body 2020 from the receiving space of the upper cover 2024. The sealing plug 2022 protrudes from the lower part of the nozzle body 2020, and the shape of the sealing plug 2022 is adapted to the shape of the liquid inlet 32. The sealing plug 2022 extends into the liquid inlet 32 ​​to seal the liquid inlet 32. The sealing plug 2022 is roughly a columnar structure with a racetrack-shaped cross-section. The racetrack shape extends parallel to the width direction x, which can effectively utilize the space in the width direction x and save the space in the thickness direction y.

[0066] It is understood that the sealing plug 2022 is not limited to the above shape. Depending on the actual needs, the sealing plug 2022 can also be designed as a cylindrical structure or ellipsoidal structure with an elliptical or rectangular cross section, as long as the dimension of the sealing plug 2022 in the width direction x is greater than the dimension in the thickness direction y.

[0067] The cross-sectional dimensions of the sealing plug 2022 are reduced downwards, which facilitates insertion into the injection port 32.

[0068] In some embodiments, the nozzle 202 can be formed by dual-injection molding of transparent and non-transparent materials, creating a transparent area 2029 and a non-transparent area. The transparent area 2029 is located on the side of the top cover 2024 perpendicular to the thickness direction y, corresponding to the position of the liquid reservoir 101. The inner wall of the liquid reservoir 101 can be made of transparent or semi-transparent material, allowing observation of the remaining amount of liquid aerosol generation matrix within the liquid reservoir 101 through the transparent area 2029. The non-transparent area is used to conceal the internal structure of the atomizer 100. Compared to designing the nozzle 202 as separate non-transparent and transparent parts, dual-injection molding can integrate the transparent area 2029 with the non-transparent area, eliminating the need for a separate mounting structure. This avoids uneven installation caused by assembly errors, preventing a bumpy feel at the junction of the transparent and non-transparent areas, and further reducing the overall thickness.

[0069] The first upper cover buckle 2026 and the second upper cover buckle 2028 are located on the inner wall of the upper cover 2024. The position of the first upper cover buckle 2026 corresponds to the position of the first chamber buckle 27, and the position of the second upper cover buckle 2028 corresponds to the position of the second chamber buckle 28. The first upper cover buckle 2026 engages with the first chamber buckle 27, and the second upper cover buckle 2028 engages with the second chamber buckle 28, so that the suction nozzle 202 and the chamber 20 are connected and fixed by the buckles. It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the suction nozzle 202 and the chamber 20 can also be fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws and rivets.

[0070] Please combine Figure 17 and Figure 18 Referring to the reference, the controller 204 includes a first circuit board 2040, a microphone 2042, a charging terminal 2044, a switch 2046, a second circuit board 2048, and a light source 2049. The first circuit board 2040 and the second circuit board 2048 are housed within a mounting cavity 44. The first circuit board 2040 is substantially perpendicular to the thickness direction y. The microphone 2042, charging terminal 2044, and switch 2046 are mounted on one side of the first circuit board 2040. The second circuit board 2048 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 2040 and is located on one side of the first circuit board 2040 in the width direction x. The second circuit board 2048 is substantially perpendicular to the width direction x. The light source 2049 is mounted on the side of the second circuit board 2048 opposite to the first circuit board 2040 and is electrically connected to the second circuit board 2048.

[0071] The microphone 2042 is housed within the airbag 90. The microphone 2042 is a miniature electroacoustic element that generates a voltage difference on both sides when the airbag 90 contracts, thereby generating a start signal to control the atomizing core 10 to start heating and atomizing the liquid aerosol generating matrix. When the airbag 90 recovers, the voltage difference on both sides stops generating a stop signal to control the atomizing core 10 to stop heating and atomizing the liquid aerosol generating matrix.

[0072] A charging terminal 2044 is exposed at the first charging port 440. The charging terminal 2044 is used to electrically connect to the charger to charge the power supply 206. The types of charging terminals 2044 include, but are not limited to: USB Type-A, Micro USB, USB Type-C, Lightning, DC round port, etc.

[0073] Switch 2046 can be a limit switch, micro switch, etc. Switch 2046 is used to generate a signal to control the light source 2049 when it is pressed, such as controlling the brightness or color change of the light source 2049.

[0074] The light source 2049 can be a plurality of LED beads arranged in the vertical z-direction, specifically up to nine. The exact number of LED beads can be arbitrary, depending on actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitation on this. The light source 2049 can serve as an indicator, presenting different light source effects according to different states of the atomizer 100.

[0075] The power source 206 can be a non-rechargeable primary battery or a rechargeable battery that can be recharged repeatedly.

[0076] The device housing 208 has a button port 2080 on its side perpendicular to the thickness direction y. The position of the button port 2080 corresponds to the position of the switch 2046. The button 209 is installed in the button port 2080 and connected to the switch 2046. When the button 209 is pressed, it triggers the switch 2046.

[0077] The outer casing 208 of the device has a light-transmitting opening 2082 on its side perpendicular to the width direction x.

[0078] The light-transmitting opening 2082 extends in the vertical direction (z) and is positioned opposite to several LED beads. The light-transmitting opening 2082 is covered with a light-transmitting material, which can be made by curing a light-transmitting adhesive. Several LED beads can be observed through the light-transmitting material.

[0079] The lower part of the device housing 208 has a second charging port 2084, which is opposite to the first charging port 440, exposing the charging terminal 2044.

[0080] Compared with related technologies, in the atomizer 100 and electronic atomizing device 200 provided in this application, the atomizing core 10 is arranged on the upper part of the atomizing channel 102, which effectively utilizes the space in the vertical direction of the atomizer 100 and saves the space in the thickness direction y of the atomizer 100. This can solve the technical problem in related technologies where the atomizing channel bypasses the atomizing component along the thickness direction of the atomizer, resulting in an increase in the overall thickness of the atomizer.

[0081] In addition, the extension direction of the atomization channel 102 is parallel to the width direction x of the atomizer 100, which effectively utilizes the space in the width direction x of the atomizer 100 and saves the space in the thickness direction y.

[0082] In addition, the dimension of the atomizer core 10 in the width direction x of the atomizer 100 is larger than its dimension in the thickness direction y of the atomizer 100, which effectively utilizes the space in the width direction x of the atomizer 100 and saves the space in the thickness direction y.

[0083] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit it; under the concept of this application, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of this application as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
