Furthermore, in this document, communication between two components can refer to a direct connection between the two components, such as at least partial alignment between two holes, or communication through an intermediate medium.

[0013] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, all figures used in this specification and claims to represent component parameters, technical effects, etc., should in any instance be understood to be modified by the terms "approximately" or "roughly". Therefore, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters listed in the following specification and appended claims are approximate values. They will vary for those skilled in the art depending on the desired properties and effects sought to be obtained through this disclosure, and each numerical parameter should be interpreted according to the number of significant figures and conventional rounding methods or in a manner understood by those skilled in the art.

[0014] In this disclosure, the terminology used in the description of the various examples is for the purpose of describing particular examples only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context explicitly indicates otherwise, an element may be one or more unless the number of elements is specifically limited.

[0015] "Atomizing matrix" refers to a mixture or auxiliary substance that can be wholly or partially atomized into an aerosol by an electronic device or similar device. Atomizing matrix can be liquid media such as e-cigarette liquids, medical drugs, and skin lotions. By atomizing these media, an aerosol that can be inhaled or absorbed can be delivered to the user.

[0016] "Aerosol" refers to a colloidal dispersion system formed by small solid or liquid particles dispersed and suspended in a gaseous medium.

[0017] "Electronic cigarettes" refer to systems that generate aerosols from atomizing substrates, such as e-liquid (specifically, e-oil), through atomization for people to inhale, suck, chew, or nasally inhale.

[0018] An electronic atomizing device or inhalation device (also known as an "electronic cigarette") is an electronic delivery system used to generate an aerosol from an atomizing matrix for a user to inhale. The atomizing matrix can be liquid (e.g., e-liquid) or solid or gel (e.g., e-liquid, e-cream). In many electronic cigarette products, the liquid atomizing matrix is ​​vaporized by the atomizer coil, and the user then inhales the resulting aerosol through the mouthpiece. The atomizer coil is a key component of an electronic cigarette, directly affecting the aerosol generated by heating and atomizing, thus influencing the user's experience.

[0019] Embodiments of this disclosure provide an electronic atomizing device 10, including a first component 110 and a second component 120. The first component 110 includes: an atomizing matrix storage chamber 111 for storing an atomizing matrix; and an atomizing core for heating the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The second component 120 includes: a power supply component 121 for supplying power to the atomizing core. One of the first component 110 and the second component 120 further includes a connector, and the other of the first component 110 and the second component 120 further includes a slot for receiving the connector, wherein the connector is received in the slot such that at least a portion of the first component is received in the other.

[0020] By using connectors and slots, the first and second components of the electronic atomizing device are nested together, providing a simple and reliable connection method. In the case of an electronic cigarette, the first component can be called a cartridge, and the second component can be called a device. Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the cartridge and device can be nested together, providing a simple and reliable connection method.

[0021] Figures 1 to 7 An electronic atomizing device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. A first component 110 of the electronic atomizing device is inserted into a second component 120. A detailed description will now be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The first component 110 further includes: a first housing 113, an atomizing matrix storage chamber 111 and an atomizing core disposed within the first housing 113; and a first closure 114 for closing the first housing 113 from the bottom. The second component 120 further includes: a second housing 123, a power supply component 121 disposed within the second housing 123; and a second closure 124 for closing the second housing 123 from the top. The first component 110 also includes a first extension extending downward along the first housing 113 beyond the bottom of the first closure 114, the second housing 123 extending beyond the second closure 124, and a second gap 125 between the upper portions of the second housing 123 and the second closure 124. The first extension forms a connector, and the second gap 125 forms a slot.

[0023] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first extension portion forms a connector, and a second gap 125 is provided between the upper portions of the second housing 123 and the second closure 124, forming a slot. When assembling the first component 110 and the second component 120, the first extension portion can be inserted into the second gap 125 to achieve nested installation of the first component 110 and the second component 120.

[0024] In some embodiments, one of the first housing 113 and the second housing 123 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 133, and the other of the first housing 113 and the second housing 123 is provided with a slot 1233 for engaging with the snap-fit ​​portion 1133. For example, see Figure 2 A snap-fit ​​portion 1133 is provided on the first housing 113, and correspondingly, a snap-fit ​​groove 1233 is provided on the second housing 123, wherein the snap-fit ​​portion 1133 can engage in the snap-fit ​​groove 1233. Through the snap-fit ​​portion 1133 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1233, the first component 110 and the second component 120 can be securely connected to each other. It is understood that the snap-fit ​​portion can also be provided on the second housing 123, and correspondingly, the snap-fit ​​groove can also be provided on the first housing 113.

[0025] In some embodiments, the first closure 114 is provided with a first magnetic attractor (not shown in the figure), and the second closure 124 is provided with a second magnetic attractor (not shown in the figure) for magnetic attraction with the first magnetic attractor. The first component 110 and the second component 120 can be easily assembled together by means of the first magnetic attractor 1 and the second magnetic attractor.

[0026] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The first closure 114 includes a first surrounding wall 1141, a second surrounding wall 1142, and a partition wall 1143 located between the first surrounding wall 1141 and the second surrounding wall 1142. The partition wall 1143 forms the bottom of the first closure 114. The first surrounding wall 1141 is used to insert into the first housing 113, and the second surrounding wall 1142 is used to abut against the lower surface of the first housing 113 and form a plug.

[0027] See Figure 2 The outer surface of the first surrounding wall 1141 is in close contact with the inner surface of the first housing 113. The second surrounding wall 1142 has the same external shape and size as the first housing 113, forming a first extension along the first housing 113. Compared to a connector formed by a portion of the housing wall of the first housing 113, the connector formed by the second surrounding wall 1142 of the first closure 114 avoids the problems of the first housing 113 being too long and the first closure 114 being difficult to install.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first housing 113 includes a first housing portion 1131 and a second housing portion 1132, the first housing portion 1131 cooperating with a second surrounding wall 1142 within the second housing 123. (Continue to see...) Figure 2 The external dimensions of the second housing portion 1132 are slightly larger than those of the first housing portion 1131. The second surrounding wall 1142 has the same external shape and dimensions as the first housing portion 1131, forming an extension of the first housing portion 1131, so that the second surrounding wall 1142 can cooperate with the first housing portion 1131 within the second housing 123. The lower surface of the second housing portion 1132 of the first housing 113 can abut against the upper surface of the second housing 123.

[0029] At least one of the first housing portion 1131 of the first housing 113 and the portion of the second housing 123 that mates with the first housing portion 1131 has an air inlet 115, and an air intake channel is formed between the outer surface of the first housing portion 1131 of the first housing 113 and the inner surface of the mating portion of the second housing 123, and the air inlet 115 communicates with the air intake channel.

[0030] See Figure 2 The first housing 113 has air inlets 115 at each of its four corners. Each air inlet 115 is a notch formed on the lower surface of the second housing portion 1132 of the first housing 113. For example, the notch is a U-shaped groove formed on the lower surface of the second housing portion 1132 of the first housing 113. By constructing the air inlets 115 as U-shaped grooves, it avoids the need to create separate holes in the housing wall of the first housing 113, which helps to improve the structural strength of the first housing 113.

[0031] In some embodiments, a longitudinally extending chamfered portion 116 or groove is provided on the outer surface of the first housing portion 1131 of the first housing 113, forming an air intake channel between the chamfered portion 116 or groove and the inner surface of the mating portion of the second housing 123. A chamfered portion is also provided on the outer surface of the second surrounding wall 1142 of the first closure 114, forming a continuation of the chamfered portion 116 of the first housing portion 1131, thereby forming an air intake channel between the second surrounding wall 1142 and the inner surface of the mating portion of the second housing 123 when the second surrounding wall 1142 and the first housing portion 1131 are fitted together into the second housing 123.

[0032] For example, see Figure 2A chamfered portion 116 or a groove is formed below the air intake 115. The chamfered portion 116 extends along the entire longitudinal length of the first housing portion 1131 and the second surrounding wall 1142, such that when the first housing 113 is fitted into the second housing 123, a gap is formed between the outer surface of the chamfered portion 116 or the groove and the inner surface of the second housing 123, thereby forming an air intake channel. The chamfered portion 116 can be a circular outer chamfer with a radius different from the radius of the inner chamfer at the inner surface of the second housing 123. The chamfered portion 116 can also be a beveled chamfer, forming a gap between the outer surface of the first housing portion 1131 of the first housing 113 and the inner surface of the second housing 123.

[0033] Thus, an airflow channel is formed in the form of a chamfered portion 116 or a groove on the outer surface of the first housing portion 1131 of the first housing 113, reducing the number of components. At the same time, when the first housing portion 1131 of the first housing 113 and the second housing 123 are fitted together, no additional installation steps are required to ensure that the air intake channel is connected in place.

[0034] In some embodiments, the air inlet 115 is located above the atomizing core. The air inlet 115 is formed on the lower surface of the second housing portion 1132 of the first housing 113, in other words, formed longitudinally above the first housing portion 1131. This allows the air intake channel to fully utilize the longitudinal length of the first housing portion 1131 and the second surrounding wall 1142 of the first housing 113. That is, the air inlet 115 positioned above the first housing portion 1131 increases the longitudinal length of the air intake channel, and particularly by positioning the air inlet 115 above the atomizing core, it further reduces the possibility of leakage of the atomizing matrix from the air inlet 115.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first closure 114 includes a first through hole 1144, which penetrates the first surrounding wall 1141 and the second surrounding wall 1142 along the wall thickness direction, and the air intake channel communicates with the first through hole 1144.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first closure 114 contains an absorber 117 for absorbing the atomized matrix. The absorber 117 has a through channel 1171 extending in the longitudinal direction, and the through channel 1171 communicates with the first through hole 1144.

[0037] In some embodiments, the atomizing core includes: a heating assembly 112; a guide 1123 for guiding the atomizing matrix to the heating assembly 112; a base 118, in which the heating assembly 112 and the guide 1123 are housed; and a bracket 119 for supporting the heating assembly 112, the guide 1123 and the base 118, wherein the bracket 119 has a second through hole 1191 extending in the longitudinal direction, the second through hole 1191 communicating with the inner cavity 1181 of the base 118 and the through channel 1171, so that outside air can be introduced into the heating assembly 112 housed in the inner cavity 1181 of the base 118 through the air inlet 115, the air inlet channel, the first through hole 1144, the through channel 1171 and the second through hole 1191.

[0038] The heating assembly 112 includes a substrate 1121 and a heating element 1122. The substrate 1121 has capillary pores capable of absorbing the atomized matrix. When the heating element 1122 heats up, the atomized matrix within the capillary pores of the substrate 1121 is heated and exits as an aerosol on the surface of the substrate 1121, thereby generating an aerosol that can be drawn in. The substrate 1121 is preferably a rigid porous structure, such as being made of ceramic, glass, quartz, and / or mica. In some embodiments, the substrate 1121 may also be a soft porous structure, such as cotton and / or fibers.

[0039] The guide 1123 has a porous structure similar to a sponge. When its surface comes into contact with the atomizing matrix, these porous structures can absorb the atomizing matrix and guide its flow within the guide 1123. The guide 1123 is configured to transfer the atomizing matrix from the atomizing matrix storage cavity 111 to the surface of the substrate 1121 of the heating assembly 112, thereby absorbing the atomizing matrix inside the substrate 1121.

[0040] The guide 1123 includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment wraps around the outside of the heating assembly 112 and contacts multiple outer surfaces of the heating assembly 112, thereby increasing the contact area for delivering the atomized matrix to the heating assembly 112, which is beneficial for the heating assembly 112 to efficiently absorb the atomized matrix. The second segment includes a notch that is disposed through the top and bottom surfaces of the heating assembly 112, exposing at least a portion of the side surface of the heating assembly 112. That is, the notch creates a vertically penetrating channel in the guide 1123, through which the atomized matrix can be heated by the heating element 1122 on the exposed side surface and enter the channel to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. Since the atomized matrix forms an aerosol in the channel formed by the notch, this channel can also be referred to as an atomization channel or atomization chamber.

[0041] Heating element 1122 is disposed on the exposed side and is used to heat the atomizing matrix, thereby causing it to generate an aerosol within the atomization chamber. In some embodiments, heating element 1122 can be filamentous, mesh-like, sheet-like, etc. Heating element 1122 can be fixed to a portion of the surface of heating component substrate 1121 by a printing process (e.g., thick film printing process) or a sintering process (high temperature sintering process). In some examples, heating element 1122 can be made of conductive materials such as metals (e.g., nickel-chromium alloys), or materials such as graphene or carbon nanotubes.

[0042] In some embodiments, the heating assembly 112 includes a substrate 1121 and a heating element 1122 fixed on the substrate 1121. The guide 1123 includes two first segments and a second segment located between the two first segments. The two first segments respectively wrap around both ends of the heating assembly 112, and the second segment wraps around the middle of the heating assembly 112 and has a notch through which the heating element 1122 is at least partially exposed. Thus, due to the large contact area between the first segments and the heating assembly 112, the concentration of the atomizing matrix at both ends of the heating assembly 112, which wraps around the first segments, is relatively high. Consequently, in the heating assembly 112, the atomizing matrix diffuses simultaneously from both ends to the middle of the heating assembly 112, which helps to increase the diffusion rate of the atomizing matrix, thereby enabling efficient aerosol generation under the action of the heating element 1122. Furthermore, the simultaneous diffusion of the atomizing matrix from both ends to the middle of the heating assembly 112 also helps to reduce the atomizing matrix gradient at the atomization surface, which is beneficial for the uniform generation of aerosols.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first housing 113 houses an exhaust pipe extending in a longitudinal direction, which communicates with the inner cavity of the base 118. Thus, the aerosol generated at the heating element 1122 can be inhaled by the user via the exhaust pipe.

[0044] In some embodiments, one of the first closure member 114 and the second closure member 124 is provided with a positioning post 1145, and the other of the first closure member 114 and the second closure member 124 is provided with a positioning groove 1245 adapted to the positioning post 1145, wherein the positioning post is located outside the center position of the first closure member 114 or the second closure member 124.

[0045] The design of the aforementioned positioning posts and positioning grooves helps to maintain the correct assembly position of the first component 110 and the second component 120 during assembly, preventing incorrect assembly orientation of the first component 110 and the second component 120. For example... Figure 2As shown, the positioning post 1145 can be positioned at a suitable location outside the center of the first closure 114 of the first component 110, so that the first component 110 can only be assembled into the second component 120 in one orientation, thereby preventing incorrect assembly orientation of the first component 110 and the second component 120. It is understood that when at least a portion of the first housing 113 is housed within the second housing 123, the positioning post 1145 can be accommodated within the positioning groove 1245 to achieve positioning.

[0046] In some embodiments, a first electrode 1146 and a second electrode 1147 are provided in the first closure 114, and the first electrode 1146 and the second electrode 1147 are electrically connected to the atomizing core and the power supply component 121.

[0047] In some embodiments, an airflow sensor is disposed inside the second housing 123, for example at the second closure 124. The airflow sensor is configured to trigger the battery cell to output power to the heating element 1122 in response to the detection of airflow. The airflow sensor is positioned at the location through which the intake airflow passes and is configured to trigger the battery cell to output power to the heating assembly 112 in response to the detection of airflow, thereby enabling timely response to user suction, triggering aerosol generation, and improving the user experience. The airflow sensor can be any suitable form of air sensor triggered based on airflow and / or pressure changes.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second component 120 includes a silicone element 122, and as... Figure 5 As shown, the silicone component 122 is positioned above the control board 126, which is electrically connected to the power supply component 121. The second component 120 may also include a bottom cover 127 for sealing the bottom of the second housing 123. The power supply component 121 of the second component 120 may include a battery cell 1211, which mainly refers to a battery, such as a rechargeable battery or a solar cell, and the battery cell 1211 is disposed in a battery cell support 1212. The power supply component 121 is housed within the second housing 123, and a seal is provided between the battery cell support 1212 and the second housing 123.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second component 120 further includes a cell support 1212, and the second closure 124 is integrally formed with the cell support 1212. In other words, see... Figure 5 The upper portion of the cell support 1212 serves as a second closure 124. A second surrounding gap 125 is formed between the upper portion of the cell support 1212 and the housing wall of the second housing 123, serving as a slot for inserting the connector of the first housing 113.

[0050] See Figure 7, which schematically shows with dashed arrows the flow path of airflow inside the electronic aerosolization device 10 when a user performs a puff. External air is introduced from the air inlet 115 through the air intake passage, the first through hole 1144 of the first sealing member 114, the through passage 1171 of the absorbing member 117, and the second through hole 1191 of the bracket 119 to the heating assembly 112 accommodated in the inner cavity 1181 of the base 118, and then is drawn through the exhaust pipe to the third component 130 (i.e., the mouthpiece part).

[0051] In some embodiments, a switch is disposed on the outer side of the second housing 123, and the switch is used to trigger the electric core to output power to the heating element 1122, so as to ensure safe and controllable generation of aerosol.

[0052] Figures 8 to 13 shows an electronic aerosolization device 20 according to some other embodiments of the present disclosure. The electronic aerosolization device 20 includes a first component 210 and a second component 220. Different from Figures 1 to 7 the embodiment shown in the figures, the second component 220 is inserted into the first component 210. Detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the respective accompanying drawings, wherein features that are the same as or similar to those Figures 1 to 7 will not be described in detail or will only be briefly described.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8 to 9 , the first component 210 further comprises: a first housing 213, in which the aerosolization substrate storage cavity and the aerosolization core are disposed; and a first sealing member 214, configured to seal the first housing 213 from the bottom. The second component further comprises: a second housing 223, in which the power supply component is disposed; and a second sealing member 224, configured to seal the second housing 223 from the top. The first housing 213 extends beyond the first sealing member 214, a first gap 215 is provided between the first housing 213 and the lower portion of the first sealing member 214, and the second sealing member 224 extends beyond the second housing 223. The first gap 215 forms a slot, and the portion of the second sealing member 224 extending beyond the second housing 223 forms a plug-in member. When assembling the first component 210 and the second component 220, the portion of the second sealing member 224 extending beyond the second housing 223 can be inserted into the first gap 215, so as to realize nested installation of the first component 210 and the second component 220.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first component 210 includes a base 218 for accommodating the aerosolization core, and a first sealing member 214 for supporting the base 218 and the aerosolization core. The first sealing member 214 is coupled to the first housing 213, wherein at least one aerosolization substrate absorbing member 217 is disposed in the first sealing member 214. In some implementations, the aerosolization substrate absorbing member 217 may comprise cotton.

[0055] In some examples, the first closure 214 can be coupled to the first housing 213 via a snap-fit ​​connection. For example, in Figure 11 In the example shown, the first closure 214 may have a circumferential protrusion, while the inner surface of the first housing 213 may correspondingly have a recess. After the first closure 214 is assembled into the first housing 213, the protrusion is accommodated in the recess to achieve a fixed connection between the first closure 214 and the first housing 213. Furthermore, in some examples, the protrusion may have a sloped surface at a certain angle to facilitate smoother installation and assembly of the first closure 214.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first housing 213 is provided with an air inlet 2131, and the portion of the second component 220 housed within the first component 210 (i.e., the portion of the cell support 2212 extending beyond the second housing 223) is provided with a groove 2213 at a position corresponding to the air inlet 2131. The groove 2213 and the inner surface of the first housing 101 together form an air intake channel. See also Figure 13 The groove 2213 extends longitudinally upward from a position corresponding to the air inlet 2131 to a predetermined longitudinal portion, and the portion of the second component 220 housed within the first component 210 has a third through hole penetrating its wall thickness at this predetermined longitudinal portion. When the user inhales through the third component 230, i.e., the mouthpiece, the airflow sequentially enters the interior of the electronic atomizing device through the air inlet 2131, the air intake channel, and the third through hole.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the air inlet and air intake channel facilitate the flow of outside air into the electronic atomizing device during the user's suction operation, thereby further improving the atomization heating effect of the atomizing matrix and the stability and consistency of aerosol delivery. The cooperation between the air inlet and the groove forms the air intake channel, ensuring smooth airflow and avoiding problems such as excessive air resistance or uneven flow.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second component 220 further includes a bottom cover 227 and a second housing 223, and the power supply component 221 of the second component 220 includes a battery cell 2211, which mainly refers to a battery, such as a rechargeable battery or a solar cell, and the battery cell 2211 is disposed in a battery cell support 2212. The power supply component 221 is housed within the second housing 223, and a seal is provided between the battery cell support 2212 and the second housing 223.

[0059] In some examples, the recess 2213 is provided on the cell support 2212. It is understood that the number of air inlets and corresponding air intake channels is not particularly limited in this disclosure, for example in... Figures 8 to 10In the embodiment of the electronic atomizing device shown, two air inlets 1112 can be provided on both sides of the first component 210, and two corresponding grooves 2213 are provided to form two air intake channels. The arrangement of multiple air intake channels allows air to enter through both sides simultaneously when the user uses the electronic atomizing device 20, which helps to achieve efficient aerosol transmission and stable and consistent transmission, and can further improve the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, the atomizing core includes a heating assembly 212. See also Figure 13 The heating assembly 212 includes: a body 2121, which has an inverted stepped shape and defines a first space extending through the body along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing core; and a heating element 2122 disposed on the inner wall surrounding the first space and configured to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The heating element 2122 can be filamentous, mesh-like, sheet-like, etc. The heating element 2122 can be fixed to the inner wall surrounding the first space by a printing process (e.g., thick film printing) or a sintering process (high-temperature sintering). In some examples, the heating element 2122 can be made of a conductive material such as a metal (e.g., a nickel-chromium alloy) or a material such as graphene or carbon nanotubes.

[0061] In some embodiments, the main body 2121 includes a first block portion and a second block portion. The width of the first block portion is greater than the width of the second block portion and it is located above the second block portion to form an inverted stepped shape. The first space extends through the first block portion and the second block portion along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing core. By constructing the main body 2121 as an inverted trapezoid, the atomizing matrix on both sides can more easily converge towards the center to provide power to the heating element 2122 located in the first space.

[0062] In some embodiments, the atomizing core further includes an atomizing matrix guide disposed on the upper surface of the first block portion for guiding the atomizing matrix to the body.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second component 220 includes a silicone element 222, and as shown in the figure. Figure 10 As shown, the top of the silicone part 222 is provided with an upwardly protruding vertical rib, wherein the space enclosed by the vertical rib is connected to the air intake channel through the air vent 2221.

[0064] In some embodiments, the airflow sensor is disposed within the space enclosed by the vertical ribs and is configured to detect airflow in order to trigger the power supply component to output power accordingly. For example, when a user draws through the third component 230, the airflow sensor detects a change in airflow and triggers the power supply component to output power accordingly.

[0065] Similar to Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment shown, Figures 8 to 13 In the illustrated embodiment, the first closure 214 of the first component 210 of the electronic atomizing device 20 may also be provided with a positioning post, and the second component 220 may be provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning post for receiving the positioning post. When the connector of the second component 220, i.e., the portion of the cell support 2211 extending beyond the second housing 223, is correctly oriented and inserted into the first gap 215 of the first component 210, the positioning post is received in the positioning groove, thereby properly receiving at least a portion of the second component 220 within the first component 210.

[0066] The design of the aforementioned positioning pins and positioning grooves helps to maintain the correct assembly position of the first and second components during assembly, preventing incorrect assembly orientation. The positioning pins can be placed at a suitable location outside the center of the first or second closure.

[0067] In some embodiments, the asymmetrical arrangement of the electrode connectors can also ensure accurate assembly of the first and second components. For example, in some examples, the two electrode connectors can be arranged to be neither symmetrical about the center of their connection nor about the lateral or longitudinal symmetry line of the mating surfaces, ensuring that the first and second components are not incorrectly assembled (e.g., reverse insertion), which helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the device.
