[0002] The atomizing device can heat and atomize the aerosol generation matrix stored in the liquid storage component to generate aerosol through the atomizing component. The atomizing component is usually installed inside the liquid storage component. The liquid storage component is sealed to form a liquid storage chamber by a sealing component. The sealing component is mostly a combination of sealing silicone and plastic parts. The plastic parts enhance the strength of the sealing silicone, making it less likely to fall off. This improves the sealing performance and extends the product's service life.

[0003] However, using the above sealing method results in a large number of sealing components, a complex product assembly process, and increased product costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide an atomizing device and atomizing equipment, in which a rigid support member is embedded inside the seal to enhance the structural strength of the seal. Compared with the method of using a plastic bracket to support the seal to improve structural strength, this significantly simplifies the structure and reduces the product manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this application, this application provides an atomizing device, comprising:

[0006] A liquid storage assembly includes a liquid storage tank and a sealing element. At least one end of the liquid storage tank is provided with an opening.

[0008] The sealing element includes a soft component and a rigid support component, wherein the soft component at least partially covers the rigid support component to form a soft-rigid combined sealing structure, wherein the sealing structure is distributed at least circumferentially along the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the soft member has an air inlet hole extending through the height of the seal, and the air inlet hole extends through the bottom of the insertion cavity.

[0012] In some embodiments, the bottom of the cavity is further recessed around the air inlet, and the recess is used to buffer condensate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the bottom of the insertion cavity is further provided with a stop protrusion, which is disposed between the buffer tank and the air inlet, and is used to block the condensate in the buffer tank.

[0014] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly further includes a liquid storage component, and the atomizing tube is further provided with an outer tube protruding from its outer wall. Along the radial direction of the atomizing tube, the area projected by the liquid inlet hole at least partially overlaps with the projection area of ​​the outer tube. The outer tube is spaced apart from the outer wall of the atomizing tube so that the inner wall of the outer tube and the outer wall of the atomizing tube form a receiving cavity. The liquid storage component is installed in the receiving cavity. The tube wall of the outer tube has a liquid guiding hole, which connects the liquid storage cavity and the receiving cavity. The soft member is also provided with a clearance portion on the side facing the liquid storage cavity. The radial dimension of the clearance portion is larger than the radial dimension of the outer tube, and it is used to avoid the outer tube.

[0015] In some embodiments, the seal further includes at least one sealing protrusion, which is disposed around the periphery of the soft member and is used to cooperate with the cavity wall of the liquid reservoir for sealing.

Compared with the structure of supporting the sealing silicone with a plastic bracket in related technologies, the number of product parts can be significantly reduced, the product structure can be simplified, and during the product assembly stage, only the seal with the embedded rigid support member needs to be installed inside the liquid storage tank, further simplifying the product assembly steps and improving product manufacturing efficiency.

[0032] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0033] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments, and the operational steps involved in each embodiment can also be rearranged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for clearly describing a particular embodiment and do not imply that they represent the necessary components and / or order.

[0034] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0035] The atomizing device can atomize water to humidify the air, or atomize liquid or paste-like aromatherapy to purify or improve air quality. It can also atomize plant leaves, tobacco paste, e-liquid, etc., to generate an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. This application does not limit the object of atomization; the specific object can be selected according to actual needs. In the following embodiments, the atomizing device is described using the atomization of plant leaves, tobacco paste, e-liquid, etc., to generate an aerosol as an example. For simplicity, plant leaves, tobacco paste, e-liquid, etc., are collectively referred to as the aerosol generating matrix. In particular, the aerosol generating matrix in the following embodiments specifically refers to e-liquid.

[0036] In related technologies, atomizing devices composed of a liquid storage component and an atomizing component typically employ a liquid storage component consisting of a liquid storage chamber and a sealing component. The sealing component and the liquid storage chamber together form a liquid storage cavity for storing the aerosol generation matrix, and the atomizing component is installed inside the liquid storage cavity. The sealing component usually consists of sealing silicone and a plastic support. The sealing silicone is installed inside the liquid storage chamber, the atomizing component is mounted on the sealing silicone, and the plastic support is installed on the side of the sealing silicone facing away from the liquid storage cavity. The plastic support enhances the structural strength of the sealing silicone, achieving a sealing effect and facilitating the formation of the liquid storage cavity. However, the sealing component has a large number of components, increasing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, ensuring that both the plastic support and the sealing silicone are properly installed increases assembly costs and makes the assembly process cumbersome, thus limiting manufacturing efficiency.

[0037] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an atomizing device and atomizing equipment, in which a rigid support component is embedded inside the sealing silicone to enhance the structural strength of the sealing silicone. Compared to using a plastic bracket to support the sealing silicone to improve structural strength, this significantly simplifies the structure and reduces product manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0038] See Figures 1-6 As shown, the atomizing device 100 provided in this application includes a liquid storage component 10 and an atomizing component 20. The liquid storage component 10 is used to store the aerosol generating matrix. The aerosol generating matrix is ​​in liquid form in the liquid storage chamber 111 inside the liquid storage component 10, making the liquid storage component 10 a clear oil storage structure. The atomizing component 20 is installed in the liquid storage chamber 111 inside the liquid storage component 10 and is in liquid-conducting communication with the liquid storage chamber 111. It is used to heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix stored in the liquid storage chamber 111 to generate aerosol.

[0039] The liquid storage assembly 10 includes a liquid storage tank 11 and a sealing element 12. At least one end of the liquid storage tank 11 is provided with an opening 112, which is provided at one end of the liquid storage tank 11 along the height direction of the liquid storage assembly 10. The sealing element 12 is provided at the opening 112 of the liquid storage tank 11. In some embodiments, the sealing element 12 is disposed facing the inside of the opening 112. The sealing element 12 and the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 11 enclose a liquid storage cavity 111, which is used to store the liquid form of the aerosol generation matrix.

[0040] like Figures 2-9 As shown, the seal 12 includes a soft member 13 and a rigid support member 14. The soft member 13 at least partially covers the rigid support member 14 to form a sealing structure with both soft and rigid components. This sealing structure is distributed at least circumferentially along the wall of the liquid storage chamber 111. See also... Figure 6 As shown, the rigid support member 14 can be partially discontinuous or a continuous structure along the circumferential direction of the wall of the liquid storage cavity 111.

[0041] The soft component 12 is preferably made of soft silicone, rubber, or other composite materials that can be deformed under pressure and recover their deformation. When installed inside the liquid storage chamber 111 through the opening 112, the soft component 13 is deformed by the pressure of the chamber wall of the liquid storage chamber 111, thus achieving a sealing effect. Since the atomizing device 100 can generate edible aerosols by heating the atomizing component 20 to generate the aerosol generation matrix, the material of the sealing component 12 should also meet food-grade requirements.

[0042] In this embodiment, the radial dimension of the soft component 13 is larger than the radial dimension of the wall of the liquid storage tank 11, wherein the radial direction is as follows: Figure 5 In the X-axis direction shown, after the seal 12 is installed inside the liquid storage chamber 11, the soft component 13 is squeezed by the cavity wall of the liquid storage chamber 111 and undergoes elastic deformation. Through this deformation, it is connected to the cavity wall of the liquid storage chamber 111 by an interference fit, ensuring the sealing of the formed liquid storage chamber 111.

[0043] It should be understood that the seal 12 can be installed inside the liquid storage tank 11 through an opening 112 provided at one end of the liquid storage tank 11 in the axial direction. (Combined with...) Figures 5-8 As shown, the rigid support member 14 can be considered as being embedded inside the soft member 13 along the radial direction of the seal 12. The radial dimension of the rigid support member 14 should be less than or equal to the radial dimension of the seal 12. By strengthening the structural strength of the seal 12 through the rigid support member 14, so that the seal 12 is not easily deformed in the axial direction, it can also ensure that the rigid support member 14 is not exposed to the soft member 13, and ensure that the soft member 13 can be deformed by the pressure of the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 111 in the radial direction to produce a sealing effect.

[0044] The sealing element 12 is formed by covering at least part of the soft component 13 with the rigid support component 14 to form an integral structure. The rigid support component 14 supports the soft component 13, preventing excessive deformation in the axial and radial directions. Compared with the structure of supporting the sealing silicone with a plastic bracket in related technologies, this method can significantly reduce the number of product parts and simplify the product structure. During the product assembly stage, only the soft component 13 covered with the rigid support component 14 needs to be installed inside the liquid storage cavity 111, further simplifying the product assembly steps and improving product manufacturing efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments, the rigid support member 14 is made of metal and can be plate-shaped or sheet-shaped, for example, steel plate or steel sheet. The seal 12 is made by injection molding. The rigid support member 14 is positioned at a suitable position in the injection molding cavity, and material is poured into the injection molding cavity. After curing, the rigid support member 14 can be embedded inside the soft member 13 to form a seal 12 with an integral structure in which the soft member 13 covers the rigid support member 14.

[0046] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the atomizing assembly 20 includes an atomizing tube 21 and an atomizing core 22. The atomizing tube 21 is positioned and installed within the liquid storage chamber 111 and is connected to the external airflow. The atomizing core 22 is positioned and installed relative to the atomizing tube 21 and is connected to the atomizing tube 21 via airflow. The atomizing core 22 can be a ceramic atomizing core, which can be independently installed in the liquid storage chamber 111 relative to the atomizing tube 21 and connected to the atomizing tube 21 via other air passages or pipes. The ceramic atomizing core has multiple pores, which allow it to connect with the aerosol generating matrix stored in the liquid storage chamber 111 to conduct liquid, and heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix to produce aerosol. The generated aerosol can be output to the outside through the atomizing tube 21. Alternatively, the atomizing core 22 can be a heating wire structure and installed inside the atomizing tube 21. The atomizing tube 21 is provided with a corresponding liquid inlet 211. The liquid storage chamber 111 can be connected to the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21 through the liquid inlet 211. The aerosol generating matrix stored in the liquid storage chamber 111 can enter the interior of the atomizing tube 21 through the liquid inlet 211. The heating wire can then heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol through the heat generated by heating, and output it to the outside through the atomizing tube 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, the atomizing core 22 is described using a heating wire as an example. This atomizing core 22 is installed inside the atomizing tube 21. (See attached image.) Figure 2 , Figures 4-8As shown, the soft component 13 has an insertion cavity 121 on the side facing the liquid storage cavity 111. The atomizing tube 21 is inserted into the insertion cavity 121. The radial dimension of the atomizing tube 21 should be smaller than the radial dimension of the insertion cavity 121 so that the atomizing tube 21 and the insertion cavity 121 are interference fit to achieve a sealing effect and prevent the liquid aerosol generation matrix from leaking from the gap between the atomizing tube 21 and the insertion cavity 121.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, after the atomizing tube 21 is inserted into the insertion cavity 121, the liquid inlet 211 should be located on the part of the atomizing tube 21 located inside the liquid storage cavity 111. This allows the liquid inlet 211 to conduct fluid between the liquid storage cavity 111 and the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21. Thus, the aerosol generating matrix stored in the liquid storage cavity 111 can enter the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21 through the liquid inlet 211 to provide it to the atomizing core 22. The atomizing core 22 then heats and atomizes the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol.

[0049] To facilitate product use, such as Figure 2 As shown, the liquid storage tank 11 has a suction nozzle 113 at one end along its axial direction. The suction nozzle 113 is located at the end of the liquid storage tank 11 away from the opening 112. The suction nozzle 113 and the liquid storage tank 11 are an integral structure. A suction nozzle channel 114 is also provided inside the suction nozzle 113. The end of the atomizing tube 21 away from the insertion cavity 121 is inserted into the suction nozzle channel 114 through a sealing sleeve 115. The soft component 13 extends along the height direction of the sealing component 12 (e.g., along the height direction of the sealing component 12). Figure 5 An air inlet 122 is provided through the Z-axis direction (as shown), penetrating the bottom of the insertion cavity 121. This air inlet 122 is in fluid communication with the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21 and also communicates with the outside of the atomizing device 100, allowing external air to be introduced into the atomizing tube 21 to form an airflow. In actual use, the user draws air through the mouthpiece 113. External air enters the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21 through the air inlet 122, forming an airflow. The aerosol generating matrix, which enters the atomizing tube 21 through the liquid inlet 211, is heated by the atomizing core 22, and the resulting aerosol flows with the airflow, exiting to the outside through the mouthpiece channel 114.

[0050] When the aerosol generating matrix is ​​directly supplied to the atomizing core 22 through the liquid inlet 211, it will result in an excessive supply of aerosol generating matrix, making it difficult to achieve complete atomization and causing waste. Therefore, if Figures 2-4 As shown, the atomizing assembly 20 also includes a liquid storage component 23. An outer tube 24 protrudes from the outer wall of the atomizing tube 21, and the outer tube 24 is spaced apart from the outer wall of the atomizing tube 21, so that the inner wall of the outer tube 24 and the outer wall of the atomizing tube 21 form a receiving cavity 242. The liquid storage component 23 is installed in the receiving cavity 242. Figure 3As shown, the outer tube 24 has a liquid guiding hole 241 on its tube wall. The liquid guiding hole 241 connects the liquid storage chamber 111 and the receiving chamber 242. The aerosol generation matrix stored in the liquid storage chamber 111 enters the receiving chamber 242 through the liquid guiding hole 241 and is stored by the liquid storage component 23.

[0051] Among them, along the radial direction of the atomizing tube 21 (e.g. Figure 5 (As shown in the X-axis direction), the area projected by the liquid inlet 211 at least partially overlaps with the projection area of ​​the outer tube 24, so that the aerosol generation matrix stored in the liquid storage component 23 can be provided to the atomizing core 22 in the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21 through the liquid inlet 211.

[0052] The atomizing core 22 includes a liquid guiding component 221 and a heating component 222. The liquid guiding component 221 is a cylindrical structure that runs through the axial direction. The heating component 222 is disposed in the inner cavity of the liquid guiding component 221. The liquid guiding component 221 can contact or connect with the liquid storage component 23 through the liquid inlet hole 211. The aerosol generating matrix stored in the liquid storage component 23 can be guided to the liquid guiding component 221 through the liquid inlet hole 211 by capillary action. The aerosol generating matrix is ​​wetted by the liquid guiding component 221 and the heating component 222 can heat and atomize the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosol.

[0053] In this embodiment, since the outer tube 24 and the atomizing tube 21 are connected at an interval, the radial dimension of the outer tube 24 is significantly larger than the radial dimension of the atomizing tube 21. When the atomizing tube 21 is inserted into the insertion cavity 121, to accommodate the assembly of the outer tube 24, as follows... Figures 3-8 As shown, a clearance portion 123 is also provided on the side of the soft component 13 facing the liquid storage cavity 111. The radial dimension of the clearance portion 123 is larger than the radial dimension of the outer tube 24. The clearance portion 123 is used to clear the outer tube 24.

[0054] The clearance portion 123 is located above the insertion cavity 121. The clearance portion 123 is approximately groove-shaped, and the insertion cavity 121 passes through the clearance portion 123, so that the clearance portion 123 and the insertion cavity 121 form a step-like shape. The radial dimension of the clearance portion 123 is larger than the radial dimension of the outer tube 24, which can prevent the side wall of the clearance portion 123 from blocking the liquid guiding hole 241 opened on the outer tube 24, so that the aerosol generating matrix can smoothly enter the liquid storage component 23 through the liquid guiding hole 241, ensuring smooth liquid flow in the atomizing device 100.

[0055] See also Figures 3-8 As shown, the soft component 13 has at least two limiting grooves 124 on its periphery, such as... Figure 8 As shown, a portion of the rigid support member 14 extends to the bottom of the limiting groove 124, forming the bottom of the limiting groove 124. Figure 2As shown, the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 11 is provided with at least two limiting protrusions 116. The at least two limiting protrusions 116 are respectively inserted into at least two limiting grooves 124 and abut against the part of the rigid support member 14 extending to the bottom of the limiting groove 124. Inserting the limiting protrusions 116 into the limiting grooves 124 can limit the circumferential direction of the sealing member 12. And abutting the limiting protrusions 116 against the part of the rigid support member 14 extending to the bottom of the limiting groove 124 can limit the sealing member 12 along its height direction, so that the sealing member 12 can be firmly assembled inside the liquid storage chamber 111.

[0056] It should be understood that the limiting protrusion 116 and the limiting groove 124 can be connected by an interference fit to ensure that the sealing element 12 can be firmly installed in the liquid storage cavity 111 and achieve a sealing effect.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the rigid support member 14 is positioned close to the atomizing tube 21, overlapping with the position of the insertion cavity 121. To avoid interference with the atomizing tube 21 during insertion, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, the rigid support member 14 has a through cavity clearance hole 141, which is used to avoid the cavity 121. The diameter of the cavity clearance hole 141 is larger than the radial dimension of the cavity 121. While avoiding the cavity 121, the cavity 121 can form an interference fit with the outer wall of the atomizing tube 21, thereby improving the stability of the atomizing tube 21 insertion.

[0058] During the transmission of the aerosol through the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 21 and the nozzle channel 114, the long flow path easily leads to temperature changes and condensation. This condensate, under its own gravity, flows back and eventually exits through the air inlet 122. The exiting condensate affects the normal operation of internal electronic components and, after seeping onto the outer surface of the atomizing device 100, also affects the overall appearance of the product. Therefore, as... Figures 5-9 As shown, a buffer groove 125 is also recessed around the air inlet 122 at the bottom of the cavity 121. The buffer groove 125 is used to buffer the condensate that flows back, so as to prevent the condensate from leaking from the air inlet 122.

[0059] Furthermore, a stop protrusion 126 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 121. The stop protrusion 126 is located between the buffer tank 125 and the air inlet 122. In a preferred embodiment, the stop protrusion 126 is arranged around the periphery of the air inlet 122 to prevent condensate from entering the air inlet 122 when excessive condensate buffered in the buffer tank 125 overflows, so as to avoid leakage.

[0060] like Figures 2-8As shown, the seal 12 also includes at least one sealing protrusion 127, which is circumferentially protruding from the peripheral surface of the flexible member 13. The at least one sealing protrusion 127 is used to cooperate with the cavity wall of the liquid storage chamber 111 to seal, thereby preventing leakage of the aerosol generation matrix from the gap between the peripheral surface of the flexible member 13 and the cavity wall of the liquid storage chamber 111. Simultaneously, the sealing protrusion 127 can also generate a large frictional force between itself and the cavity wall of the liquid storage chamber 111 through its own elastic deformation, thus ensuring that the seal 12 can be securely installed inside the liquid storage chamber 111.

[0061] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the liquid storage assembly 10 also includes an electrical connection assembly 15, which connects the atomizing core 22 to a power supply device (not shown) to provide the necessary electrical energy for heating the heating element 222 in the atomizing core 22. Figure 9 As shown, the electrical connection assembly 15 includes a base 151 and an electrode post 152. The base 151 is installed at the opening 112 at one end of the liquid storage tank 11. The base 151 has an insertion hole 153. The electrode post 152 has an electrical connection portion 154 protruding in its radial direction. The electrode post 152 is inserted into the insertion hole 153 and electrically connected to the heating element 222 of the atomizing core 22. The electrical connection portion 154 is exposed outside the insertion hole 153. After the atomizing device 100 is connected to the power supply device, the electrical connection portion 154 is used to electrically connect to the power supply unit in the power supply device. The base 151 also has a protruding insertion post 155 on the side facing the sealing member 12. The soft member 13 also has a through insertion hole 128 along the height direction of the sealing member 12. The insertion post 155 is inserted into the insertion hole 128 to connect the base 151 to the sealing member 12. Figure 8 As shown, the rigid support member 14 is also provided with a through insertion clearance hole 142, which is used to avoid the insertion hole 128.

[0062] In this application, an air intake channel 156 is also provided on the base 151. The air intake channel 156 is in communication with the air intake hole 122, which can ensure that external air can enter the interior of the atomizing tube 21 through the air intake channel 156 and the air intake hole 122.

[0063] This application also provides an atomizing device, including the atomizing device 100 in the above embodiment, and a power supply device. After the power supply device is connected to the atomizing device, the power supply unit in the power supply device can be electrically connected to the heating element 222 of the atomizing core 22 through the electrical connection part 154 to provide the required electrical energy for heating.

[0064] In summary, the atomizing device and atomizing equipment provided in this application form a seal with at least a portion of a soft component covering a rigid support component to create an integrated structure. The rigid support component provides support to the seal, preventing excessive deformation in the axial and radial directions. Compared to the structure in related technologies where a plastic bracket supports the sealing silicone, this significantly reduces the number of product parts, simplifies the product structure, and requires only the soft component covered with the rigid support component to be installed inside the liquid storage chamber during product assembly, further simplifying the product assembly process and improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0065] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
