Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Aerosols are colloidal dispersion systems formed by solid or liquid particles dispersed and suspended in a gaseous medium. Aerosols can be absorbed by the human body through the respiratory system, providing users with a novel alternative absorption method. Atomizing devices are devices that generate aerosols from stored atomizing media through heating or ultrasound. Atomizing media include liquid, gel, paste, or solid aerosol-generating matrices. Atomizing these media delivers inhalable aerosols to users, replacing conventional product forms and absorption methods.

[0003] As the structure of nebulizers continues to develop and improve, their functions are becoming increasingly diverse, and users are placing higher demands on the user experience. For example, existing nebulizers often only alert users when the maximum number of puffs has been reached, rather than alerting them to the required number of puffs based on their individual needs.

[0039] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0041] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0045] See Figure 1 This application provides an atomizing device 100 for heating an aerosol generating matrix to generate an aerosol for user use. In some embodiments, the aerosol generating matrix includes, but is not limited to, liquids, oils, etc., used for medical, health, or cosmetic purposes.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing device 100 includes a housing 110 and a heating component 120, a power supply component 130, and a control module 140 disposed within the housing 110.

[0047] The heating component 120 is used to heat the aerosol generation matrix, and the power supply component 130 is electrically connected to the heating component 120 to supply power to the heating component 120. The control module 140 is electrically connected to the power supply component 130 to control the working state of the power supply component 130.

[0048] Thus, when the user inhales the atomizing device 100, the power supply component 130 supplies power to the heating component 120 under the control of the control module 140. The heating component 120 heats the atomized aerosol generation matrix under the action of the power supply component 130 to generate aerosol.

[0049] Please combine Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in order to remind the user when a certain number of inhalations are reached, the atomizing device 100 also includes a number setting unit 150, an inhalation counting unit, and an adjustment component 160.

[0050] The number of puffs setting unit 150 is housed within the housing 110 and electrically connected to the control module 140. It is used to set a preset number of puffs and feed the parameters back to the control module 140. The puff counting unit is also housed within the housing 110 and electrically connected to the control module 140. It is used to acquire the real-time number of puffs and feed the result back to the control module 140. Specifically, in one embodiment, the puff counting unit can obtain the number of puffs by acquiring the internal and external pressure difference of the atomizing device 100. An adjusting member 160 is mounted on the housing 110 and is drively connected to the number of puffs setting unit 150. The adjusting member 160 can be controllably moved relative to the housing 110 to drive the number of puffs setting unit 150 to adjust the preset number of puffs.

[0051] In this way, the user can set a preset number of inhalations through the adjustment component 160 driving the number of inhalations setting unit 150, so that the atomizing device 100 can remind the user after the real-time number of inhalations reaches the preset number of inhalations, thereby improving the user experience of the atomizing device 100 without the user having to judge the number of inhalations themselves.

[0052] Specifically, in some embodiments, during the inhalation process, the control module 140 obtains the real-time number of inhalations through the inhalation counting unit. When the real-time number of inhalations reaches the preset number of inhalations within a predetermined time, the control module 140 can control the atomizing device 100 to remind the user through at least one of the following methods: text, image, light, sound, and vibration.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer casing 110 is generally a hollow cubic structure. In the following embodiments, the length direction of the outer casing 110 is defined as the first direction (i.e., Figure 1 The width direction of the outer shell 110 is the second direction (i.e., the X direction in the middle). Figure 1 The Y direction in the middle), the height direction of the outer shell 110 is the third direction (i.e., Figure 1 (Z direction in the equation). Wherein, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other, and as a preferred embodiment, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] Furthermore, the outer shell 110 includes a first shell 110a and a second shell 110b, which are spliced ​​together in the second direction and fixed by snap fasteners to form a common cavity. The heating component 120, the power supply component 130, the control module 140, and the air pressure sensing unit are all housed in the cavity.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the heating component 120 and the power supply component 130 are respectively located on opposite sides of the accommodating cavity in a first direction. The control module 140 is located on one side of the accommodating cavity in a third direction and on the same side as the heating component 120 and the power supply component 130 in a second direction. The number of times setting unit 150 is located on the side of the accommodating cavity where the power supply component 130 is located in the first direction, and on the side of the power supply component 130 away from the control module 140 in a third direction. It is understood that the positional relationship of the above structures is not limited and can be configured as needed to meet different requirements.

[0056] Please see Figures 3 to 6 The number of times setting unit 150 includes a setting unit body 152 and an input component 143. One end of the input component 143 is connected to the setting unit body 152, and the other end of the input component 143 extends along a first direction to be connected to the adjusting component 160. The input component 143 can be a rotating rod or a button.

[0057] Specifically, when the input component 143 is a rotating rod, the central axis of the rotating rod extends along the first direction. By driving the rotating rod to rotate around its own central axis, the preset number of suctions can be adjusted. When the input component 143 is a button, the preset number of suctions can be adjusted by pressing the button along the first direction.

[0058] In the following embodiments, the adjusting member 160 can rotate about a first direction and also reciprocate along the first direction, thereby satisfying the adjustment requirements of different types of count setting units 150. In some other embodiments, the adjusting member 160 can only rotate about the first direction to cooperate with the count setting unit 150 where the input member 143 is a rotating rod. In still other embodiments, the adjusting member 160 can only move linearly along the first direction to cooperate with the count setting unit 150 where the input member 143 is a button.

[0059] Corresponding to the position of the number of times setting unit 150, the housing 110 is provided with a mounting part 112 for mounting the adjustment member 160. The mounting part 112 is located at the end of the housing 110 in the third direction away from the control module 140, and is located on the side of the number of times setting unit 150 away from the heating component 120.

[0060] Specifically, the first housing 110a has a first mounting portion 1121, and the second housing 110b has a second mounting portion 1123. The first mounting portion 1121 and the second mounting portion 1123 are spliced ​​together in a second direction to form a connecting hole 112a. The connecting hole 112a extends in a first direction, and the input member 143 of the frequency setting unit 150 extends into the connecting hole 112a in the first direction.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the first mounting portion 1121 includes two first sub-mounting portions, and the second mounting portion 1123 includes two second sub-mounting portions. The two first sub-mounting portions and the two second sub-mounting portions are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the mounting portion 112. The two first sub-mounting portions and the two second sub-mounting portions can contract and expand in the radial direction of the mounting portion 112 within a certain range, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 to facilitate the installation of the adjusting member 160.

[0062] In some embodiments, the atomizing device 100 further includes a fixing member 170, which has a ring-shaped structure and is sleeved on the outside of the first mounting portion 1121 and the second mounting portion 1123. Since it is inconvenient to connect the first mounting portion 1121 and the second mounting portion 1123 with a snap fastener, the fixing member 170 is sleeved on the outside of the first mounting portion 1121 and the second mounting portion 1123 to prevent them from opening under force and affecting the rotational torque of the adjusting member 160.

[0063] The adjustment member 160 is mounted on the mounting part 112 and partially extends into the connecting hole 112a to be connected to the input member 143 of the number of times setting unit 150. Since the adjustment member 160 is mounted on the mounting part 112, it can prevent the adjustment member 160 from causing excessive impact to the number of times setting unit 150 in environments such as drop tests, thus preventing damage to the number of times setting unit 150.

[0064] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 160 has a rotating structure, including a connecting rod 161 and an outer ring 163. The outer ring 163 is sleeved on the mounting portion 112. One end of the connecting rod 161 is connected to the outer ring 163, and the other end extends into the communicating hole 112a along a first direction and is drively connected to the input member 143 of the count setting unit 150. Thus, the user can rotate or move the outer ring 163 around the first direction, which can drive the connecting rod 161 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the count setting unit 150 through the input member 143.

[0065] Specifically, in some embodiments, the outer ring 163 has a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. The outer surface of the outer ring 163 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves. All anti-slip grooves are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the outer ring 163, and each anti-slip groove extends along the axial direction of the outer ring 163, thereby playing a good anti-slip role and increasing the user's operating experience.

[0066] Furthermore, the inner surface of the outer ring 163 is in concave-convex fit with the outer surface of the mounting portion 112 to prevent the outer ring 163 from detaching from the mounting portion 112.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, a limiting protrusion 1632 is provided on the inner surface of the outer ring 163, and the limiting protrusion 1632 extends circumferentially along the outer ring 163. A limiting groove 112b is formed on the outer surface of the mounting portion 112, the limiting groove 112b extends circumferentially along the mounting portion 112, and the width of the limiting groove 112b in the first direction is greater than the width of the limiting groove 112b in the first direction. The limiting protrusion 1632 is confined within the limiting groove 112b, and the limiting protrusion 1632 is capable of rotating around and moving along the first direction within the limiting groove 112b.

[0068] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the limiting protrusion 1632 may be provided on the mounting portion 112, and the limiting groove 112b may be provided on the outer ring 163.

[0069] In some embodiments, the atomizing device 100 includes an elastic element 180, which is formed of an elastic material such as rubber. The elastic element 180 is located between the outer sidewall of the mounting portion 112 and the inner sidewall of the outer ring 163. The elastic element 180 is used to increase the damping feel when the adjusting member 160 rotates, thereby improving the user experience.

[0070] In one further embodiment, a first limiting portion 112c protrudes from the outer sidewall of the mounting portion 112, and the first limiting portion 112c extends circumferentially along the mounting portion 112. A second limiting portion 1634 protrudes from the inner sidewall of the outer ring 163, and the second limiting portion 1634 extends circumferentially along the outer ring 163. The second limiting portion 1634 is located in the first direction on the side of the first limiting portion 112c away from the frequency setting unit 150. The elastic member 180 has a ring-shaped structure, and the upper limit of the elastic member 180 in the first direction is located between the first limiting portion 112c and the second limiting portion 1634.

[0071] Thus, when the adjusting member 160 is pressed along the first direction, the elastic member 180 is compressed under the pressure of the first limiting part 112c and the second limiting part 1634. When the adjusting member 160 is released, the elastic member 180 returns to its initial state, thereby pushing the adjusting member 160 back to its initial position through the second limiting part 1634, thereby preventing the adjusting member 160 from returning to its original position due to excessive friction between the adjusting member 160 and the mounting part 112.

[0072] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 161 includes a connecting rod body 1612 and a fixing part 1614 disposed at one end of the connecting rod body 1612. The outer diameter of the fixing part 1614 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod body 1612. The fixing part 1614 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer ring 163 away from the count setting unit 150 by means of riveting, bonding, or other connection methods. The end of the connecting rod body 1612 away from the fixing part 1614 is drively connected to the input member 143 of the count setting unit 150. In this way, the outer ring 163 can drive the connecting rod 161 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the count setting unit 150 through the input member 143.

[0073] In one further embodiment, the connecting rod 161 also includes two insertion portions 1616, which protrude from one end face of the connecting rod body 1612 facing the frequency setting unit 150, and are arranged opposite to each other in a radial direction of the connecting rod 161. The input member 143 is a rotating rod, and the outer circular surface of the rotating rod is provided with two mating surfaces 154a. Each mating surface 154a is a plane extending along a first direction, and the two mating surfaces are arranged opposite to each other in a radial direction of the rotating rod. It is understood that the number of insertion portions 1616 and mating surfaces is not limited to this, and can be set as needed to meet different mating requirements.

[0074] Thus, the input component 143 is inserted between the two insertion portions 1616, and the input component 143 contacts the insertion portions 1616 through a mating plane, so the connecting rod 161 can drive the input component 143 to rotate. Since one end of the connecting rod 161 has an open structure, and only cooperates with the input component 143 through the two insertion portions 1616, the tolerance to eccentricity can be improved, preventing the input component 143 and the connecting rod 161 from having misalignment problems and failing to transmit power normally.

[0075] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the end face of the connecting rod body 1612 facing the count setting unit 150 abuts against the end face of the input member 143 away from the body of the count setting unit 150. Therefore, when the input member 143 is a button, the button can be pressed by pressing the adjusting member 160.

[0076] The aforementioned atomizing device 100, through the adjustment component 160 and the number of inhalations setting unit 150, allows for the setting of a preset number of inhalations before use. Therefore, the atomizing device 100 can remind the user when the real-time number of inhalations reaches the preset number of inhalations, thereby improving the user experience of the atomizing device 100 without requiring the user to manually record the number of inhalations.

[0077] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0078] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
