Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In some open-oil electronic atomizers, a liquid reservoir is formed inside the atomizing device. The atomizing component is located within the reservoir, and the atomizing medium flows directly into the inlet of the atomizing component. Compared to a method where the atomizing medium is introduced into the inlet via a guiding medium, this direct inflow of the atomizing medium makes the atomizing component more prone to oversaturation, leading to increased leakage. Therefore, to reduce leakage, these open-oil electronic atomizers incorporate an inlet valve to control the opening and closing of the inlet, thus minimizing leakage. However, while these designs reduce leakage, they also impede the flow of the atomizing medium, slowing its inflow into the atomizing component and resulting in poor liquid intake. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this application is to provide an atomizing device and an electronic atomizer to solve the technical problem of poor liquid inlet performance in open-oil electronic atomizers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application provides an atomizing device, the atomizing device comprising:

[0005] The outer shell has a liquid storage chamber inside, which is used to store the atomizing matrix, and the bottom end of the outer shell has an opening;

[0006] The base covers the opening, and the top surface of the base is recessed downward to form a mounting groove, and part of the inner wall of the mounting groove is recessed outward to form a sliding groove.

[0007] An atomizing component is disposed within the liquid storage chamber and its bottom end is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove. An inlet hole is provided on one side of the portion of the atomizing component located within the mounting groove. The atomizing matrix flows into the interior of the atomizing component through the mounting groove and the inlet hole.

[0008] A liquid inlet control component is disposed in the mounting groove. The liquid inlet control component includes a slider that is slidably connected to the slide groove. The liquid inlet control component is located on the side of the atomizing component where the liquid inlet hole is opened. The liquid inlet control component can move close to the liquid inlet hole to close the liquid inlet hole and move away from the liquid inlet hole to open the liquid inlet hole.

[0009] Optionally, the chute extends at least partially in the horizontal direction, and the liquid inlet control assembly slides back and forth in the horizontal direction.

[0010] Optionally, the slide groove includes a first sub-slot and a second sub-slot that are interconnected. The first sub-slot is located above the second sub-slot and extends through the top surface of the mounting groove. The length of the first sub-slot in the horizontal direction is less than the length of the second sub-slot in the horizontal direction. The slider can be fitted into the second sub-slot via the first sub-slot, and the slider is slidably connected to the second sub-slot.

[0011] Optionally, the first sub-slot is connected to the end of the second sub-slot that is away from the atomizing component.

[0012] Optionally, the second sub-groove penetrates the wall of the mounting groove.

[0013] Optionally, the number of slides is at least two, the at least two slides are arranged in the horizontal direction, the number of sliders is the same as the number of slides, and the at least two slides and the at least two sliders are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0014] Optionally, the ratio of the lengths of the second sub-slot and the first sub-slot in the horizontal direction is greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 3.

[0015] Optionally, the liquid inlet control component is slidably connected to the bottom of the mounting tank.

[0016] Optionally, the outer shell is made of a transparent material with a transparency of 50-100%.

[0017] A second aspect of this application provides an electronic atomizer, the electronic atomizer comprising:

[0018] Electrical control devices; and

[0019] The atomizing device described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the base of the atomizing device is connected to the electronic control device, and the atomizing component is electrically connected to the electronic control device.

[0020] Optionally, the liquid inlet control component is a magnetic sliding component, and the electronic control device can generate magnetic fields of different polarities, and the electronic control device can control the liquid inlet control component to slide in different directions through magnetic fields of different polarities.

[0021] In the atomizing device of this application, the mounting groove is formed by a downward-facing recess of the top surface of the base, meaning the mounting groove is located below the liquid storage chamber, and the opening of the mounting groove faces the liquid storage chamber. The atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber flows directly into the mounting groove under gravity. The mounting groove does not significantly obstruct the flow of the atomizing matrix and serves to collect the atomizing matrix, guiding it towards the atomizing component. The sliding groove is formed by a partial outward-facing recess of the inner wall of the mounting groove, meaning the sliding groove is a groove recessed into the surface of the mounting groove. Therefore, the sliding groove does not significantly obstruct the flow of the atomizing matrix into the liquid inlet, allowing the atomizing matrix to flow to the atomizing component relatively quickly. The liquid inlet control component controls the liquid inlet to the atomizing component. Thus, the atomizing device of this application improves the liquid inlet effect of the atomizing component while achieving control over the liquid inlet. In addition, the liquid inlet control component is limited by the sliding groove on the mounting groove. Compared to a structure that covers the liquid inlet control component for a limiting function, the mounting groove can reduce manufacturing costs while ensuring the limiting effect.

[0033] This application proposes an atomizing device. The atomizing device of this application can be an atomizing device with an open oil, that is, the atomizing matrix in the atomizing device flows directly into the atomizing component (without passing through the liquid guiding medium).

[0034] This atomizing device includes a housing, a base, an atomizing component, and a liquid inlet control component. The housing has a liquid storage chamber for storing the atomizing matrix, and an opening at its bottom. The base covers the opening, and a mounting groove is recessed downwards on the top surface of the base. A portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove is recessed outwards to form a sliding groove. The atomizing component is disposed within the liquid storage chamber and its bottom end is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove. A liquid inlet hole is provided on one side of the portion of the atomizing component located within the mounting groove, and the atomizing matrix flows into the interior of the atomizing component through the mounting groove and the liquid inlet hole. The liquid inlet control component is disposed within the mounting groove and includes a slider slidably connected to the sliding groove. The liquid inlet control component is located on the side of the atomizing component with the liquid inlet hole, and can move closer to the liquid inlet hole to close it, and move away from the liquid inlet hole to open it.

[0035] In the atomizing device of this application, the mounting groove is formed by a downward-facing recess of the top surface of the base, meaning the mounting groove is located below the liquid storage chamber, and the opening of the mounting groove faces the liquid storage chamber. The atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber flows directly into the mounting groove under gravity. The mounting groove does not significantly obstruct the flow of the atomizing matrix and serves to collect the atomizing matrix, guiding it towards the atomizing component. The sliding groove is formed by a partial outward-facing recess of the inner wall of the mounting groove, meaning the sliding groove is a groove recessed into the surface of the mounting groove. Therefore, the sliding groove does not significantly obstruct the flow of the atomizing matrix into the liquid inlet, allowing the atomizing matrix to flow to the atomizing component relatively quickly. The liquid inlet control component controls the liquid inlet to the atomizing component. Thus, the atomizing device of this application improves the liquid inlet effect of the atomizing component while achieving control over the liquid inlet. In addition, the liquid inlet control component is limited by the sliding groove on the mounting groove. Compared to a structure that covers the liquid inlet control component for a limiting function, the mounting groove can reduce manufacturing costs while ensuring the limiting effect.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The following describes the specific structure of the atomizing device and the electronic atomizer 100.

[0037] The atomizing device of this application includes a housing 110, and a liquid storage chamber 111 is formed inside the housing 110. The liquid storage chamber 111 is formed by the inner wall of the housing 110 and is used to store the atomizing matrix. A suction port communicating with the liquid storage chamber 111 is formed at the top of the housing 110, and an opening communicating with the liquid storage chamber 111 is formed at the bottom of the housing 110. In some embodiments, the housing 110 may be made of a transparent material (e.g., transparent plastic or transparent glass), and the transparency of the housing 110 is 50-100%. Through the transparent housing 110, the content of the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 111 can be observed.

[0038] The atomizing device of this application includes a base 120, which covers an opening. The base 120 is sealed to the opening. A mounting groove 121 is formed by a downward-facing recess on the top surface of the base 120. The mounting groove 121 can be a square groove, a circular groove, an elliptical groove, a racetrack-shaped groove, or an irregularly shaped groove, etc. The top of the mounting groove 121 is open, allowing it to guide the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 111 to flow towards the atomizing assembly 130 with minimal obstruction to the flow of the atomizing matrix. A sliding groove 122 is formed by an outward-facing recess on a portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove 121. The sliding groove 122 is recessed into the inner wall of the mounting groove 121, thus preventing obstruction of the atomizing matrix flowing into the mounting groove 121.

[0039] The atomizing device of this application includes an atomizing component 130, which is disposed within a liquid storage chamber 111. The bottom end of the atomizing component 130 is connected to the bottom of a mounting groove 121. The atomizing component 130 and the mounting groove 121 can be plugged in. The pins of the atomizing component 130 pass through a base 120 and are exposed on the bottom surface of the base 120. A liquid inlet hole 131 is provided on one side of the portion of the atomizing component 130 located within the mounting groove 121, and the atomizing matrix of the liquid storage chamber 111 flows into the interior of the atomizing component 130 through the mounting groove 121 and the liquid inlet hole 131.

[0040] The atomizing device of this application includes a liquid inlet control component 140, which is disposed within a mounting groove 121. The liquid inlet control component 140 includes a slider 141, which is slidably connected to a sliding groove 122. The liquid inlet control component 140 is located on the side of the atomizing component 130 where the liquid inlet hole 131 is located. The liquid inlet control component 140 can move closer to the liquid inlet hole 131 to close it, and move away from it to open it. Thus, the atomizing device of this application can achieve liquid inlet control. The liquid inlet control component 140 is limited by the sliding groove 122 on the mounting groove 121. Compared to a structure that covers the liquid inlet control component 140 to provide a limiting effect, the mounting groove 121 can reduce manufacturing costs while ensuring the limiting effect. This application does not limit the specific structure of the liquid inlet control component 140; it can be a manually driven component or an electrically controlled automatic driven component.

[0041] In embodiments where the housing 110 is made of a transparent material, the mounting groove 121 does not obstruct the liquid inlet control component 140. During use, the user can see whether the liquid inlet control component 140 is working properly, which facilitates the control of the liquid inlet of the atomizing component 130 and enables timely detection and maintenance of faults.

[0042] In some embodiments, the slide 122 may extend at least partially in the horizontal direction, and the liquid inlet control assembly 140 slides back and forth in the horizontal direction. The slide 122 includes a first sub-slot 123 and a second sub-slot 124 that are in communication with each other. The first sub-slot 123 is located above the second sub-slot 124. The first sub-slot 123 extends through the top surface of the mounting groove 121 (i.e., the top opening of the first sub-slot 123). The length of the first sub-slot 123 in the horizontal direction is less than the length of the second sub-slot 124 in the horizontal direction. The slider 141 can be fitted into the second sub-slot 124 via the first sub-slot 123 (specifically, the top end). The slider 141 is slidably connected to the second sub-slot 124, and the slider 141 slides back and forth in the horizontal direction within the second sub-slot 124. Therefore, the liquid inlet control component 140 can be installed from the top of the mounting groove 121 into the mounting groove 121 without being restricted by the width of the liquid inlet control component 140 being greater than the width of the mounting groove 121 (because the slider 141 and the slide groove 122 are connected by plugging). The assembly of the liquid inlet control component 140 and the mounting groove 121 is simple and convenient.

[0043] The first sub-slot 123 connects to the end of the second sub-slot 124 that is away from the atomizing component 130. As a result, the slider 141 is limited in the vertical direction by the second sub-slot 124 during sliding, and the liquid inlet control component 140 will not move undesirably in the vertical direction.

[0044] The second sub-slot 124 can penetrate the wall of the mounting slot 121. Therefore, there is a gap between the side of the second sub-slot 124 penetrating the mounting slot 121 and the slider 141, preventing them from being too tightly fitted together and facilitating the sliding of the slider 141 within the second sub-slot 124. Furthermore, if the liquid inlet control component 140 experiences horizontal oscillation during sliding, the gap between the second sub-slot 124 and the slider 141 allows the liquid inlet control component 140 to continue moving, preventing it from being limited by the second sub-slot 124 and thus failing to move, which would render its adjustment function ineffective.

[0045] The number of slide grooves 122 can be at least two (preferably two), and the at least two slide grooves 122 are arranged in the horizontal direction. The number of sliders 141 is the same as the number of slide grooves 122, and the at least two slide grooves 122 and the at least two sliders 141 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. As a result, the force on the liquid inlet control component 140 is distributed, and the sliding is more stable.

[0046] The ratio of the horizontal lengths of the second sub-slot 124 and the first sub-slot 123 is greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 3. Therefore, the contact area between the liquid inlet control component 140 and the slide 122, and the moving path length of the liquid inlet control component 140, can be balanced. This ensures a stable connection between the liquid inlet control component 140 and the slide 122 while achieving good liquid inlet control. The aforementioned ratio can be further set to 1.8 to 2.5.

[0047] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet control assembly 140 is slidably connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 121. Therefore, the bottom of the liquid inlet control assembly 140 is also supported by the mounting groove 121, making the sliding of the liquid inlet control assembly 140 more stable.

[0048] This application proposes an electronic atomizer 100, which includes an electronic control device and the aforementioned atomizing device. The base 120 of the atomizing device is connected to the electronic control device, and the pins of the atomizing component 130 are electrically connected to the electronic control device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet control assembly 140 is a magnetic sliding assembly. The electronic control device can generate magnetic fields of different polarities, and can control the liquid inlet control assembly 140 to slide in different directions using these magnetic fields. Specifically, the liquid inlet control assembly 140 includes a sealing assembly 142, a magnet assembly 143, and an elastic element 144. A slider 141 is disposed on the outer wall of the sealing assembly 142, and the magnet assembly 143 is disposed inside the sealing assembly 142. The magnet assembly 143 includes a first magnet and a second magnet with opposite polarities in the horizontal direction. The elastic element 144 is connected to one end of the sealing assembly 142 and is used to drive the sealing assembly 142 to move toward the liquid inlet hole 131. The electronic control device includes an electromagnetic element 150 disposed near the liquid inlet control assembly 140, which is used to generate a first magnetic field and a second magnetic field of different polarities. The first magnetic field can attract the first magnet to drive the liquid inlet control component 140 to move toward the liquid inlet hole 131, and the second magnetic field can attract the second magnet to drive the liquid inlet control component 140 to move away from the liquid inlet hole 131. The elastic force of the elastic element 144 is less than the attraction between the second magnetic field and the second magnet.
