Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer with condensate collection function. Background Technology

[0002] High-capacity electronic cigarettes generally consist of an outer shell containing an e-liquid reservoir. The reservoir has a mouthpiece at the top and a base at the bottom. An air inlet is located at the center of the base, connected to the mouthpiece via a tube. The air inlet, mouthpiece, and tube are aligned. An e-liquid inlet is located within the tube, connecting to the reservoir. An atomizer coil is installed within the tube, connected to a circuit board via wires. The circuit board is connected to a battery, controlling the battery's output power. The atomizer coil atomizes the e-liquid in the reservoir, and the atomized vapor flows out from the mouthpiece.

[0003] Outside air enters the tube through the air inlet, then flows upward through the tube and out of the mouthpiece. When the air passes through the atomizing core, the atomized smoke mixes with the air and flows out of the mouthpiece. After the suction stops, the atomized smoke remains in the tube and condenses into condensate. The condensate flows downward along the tube and out of the air inlet, causing the condensate to enter the outside air.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an electronic cigarette to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0034] the following Figure 1-8 This section will primarily describe the specific structure of the atomizing device. Please refer to the figure below, which shows an atomizer with condensate collection function, comprising a housing 1, a base assembly, an air passage 13, and an atomizing assembly 14.

[0035] An atomizer with condensate collection function includes: a shell 1, which includes a receiving cavity 11 and an air outlet 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11; the shell 1 is circular, square, etc., and is made of transparent plastic material or opaque plastic material, or it can be made of metal material, such as iron; the receiving cavity 11 is open at the bottom, and the air outlet 12 is located above the receiving cavity 11; the receiving cavity 11 is circular, square, etc.

[0036] A base assembly is installed in the receiving cavity 11. The base assembly has an air passage 33 and an air inlet 251. An air chamber 6 is provided between the air inlet 251 and the air passage 33. The air inlet 251 and the air passage 33 are offset in the vertical direction and are not coaxial, which facilitates the bending flow of gas. The upper surface of the air inlet 251 is higher than the upper surface of the air chamber 6, which can prevent liquid from flowing directly out of the air inlet 251 in the vertical state. The upper surface of the air chamber 6 has a first receiving groove 21 and a second receiving groove 22 that are interconnected. The second receiving groove 22 is located outside the first receiving groove 21, and the bottom wall of the second receiving groove 22 is lower than the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 21. The first receiving groove 21 is circular, and the second receiving groove 22 is arc-shaped. The second receiving groove 22 is centered on the first receiving groove 21 and is arranged around the first receiving groove 21, which can increase the length and capacity of the second receiving groove 22.

[0037] An air passage 13 connects the air passage 33 and the air outlet 12; the air passage 13 can be made of steel pipe or plastic pipe, and the cross-section of the steel pipe can be circular, square, polygonal, etc.; the air passage 13 can be curved or straight, the lower end of the air passage 13 is connected to the air passage 33, and the upper end of the air passage 13 is connected to the air outlet 12.

[0038] An atomizing component 14 is installed in the air passage 13. The atomizing component 14 can absorb e-liquid or liquid and then heat the e-liquid into vapor. The atomizing component 14 can be electrically heated or induction heated. The operation of the atomizing component 14 can be controlled by a circuit board, which is then connected to a battery. The circuit board controls the output power of the battery.

[0039] The condensate produced after the flue gas condenses flows downward along the air passage 13, enters the air chamber 6 through the air passage 33, and then enters the first receiving tank 21. If there is a lot of condensate, it can also enter the second receiving tank 22 through the first receiving tank 21. The upper surface of the air inlet 251 is higher than the upper surface of the air chamber 6 to prevent the condensate from flowing out of the air chamber 6, which can effectively prevent the condensate from flowing out to the outside.

[0040] The base assembly includes a fixed base 2 and a sealing element 3. The sealing element 3 is installed above the fixed base 2. The gap between the fixed base 2 and the sealing element 3 forms the air chamber 6. The air passage 33 is opened in the sealing element 3, and the air inlet 251 is opened in the fixed base 2. The base can be made of plastic or metal. The air inlet 251 is opened on the side of the base, not in the center, to prevent condensate from dripping out from the center. The sealing element 3 can be made of plastic material, or rubber or soft rubber material. The sealing element 3 is elastic and has the ability to deform. The fixing seat 2 and the sealing element 3 are engaged and snapped together. The shape of the fixing seat 2 and the sealing element 3 can be circular, square, polygonal, etc. Note that it needs to match the receiving cavity 11. The air passage 33 is opened in the center of the sealing element 3 to facilitate the manufacturing process. There is a certain space between the lower surface of the fixing seat 2 and the upper surface of the sealing element 3. This space is used for outside air to flow upward first, then downward, then horizontally, and then enter the air passage 33. The tortuous gas path facilitates the smooth flow of air and also prevents condensate from flowing directly downward.

[0041] The fixing base 2 includes a main body 28, which is flat. An arc-shaped boss 283 protrudes downward from the main body 28. A first receiving groove 21 extends downward from the center of the main body 28, and a second receiving groove 22 extends downward from the periphery of the main body 28, entering the arc-shaped boss 283. The first receiving groove 21 can be circular, square, polygonal, etc. The vertical projection of the second receiving groove 22 lies within the boss 283. The first receiving groove 21 and the second receiving groove 22 are connected by a connecting groove 27, which extends downward from the upper surface of the main body 28 and is inclined downward. The design facilitates the entry of condensate from the first receiving tank 21 into the second receiving tank 22. In this design, there are two second receiving tanks 22, which are symmetrical about the first receiving tank 21. Taking one of them as an example, the sealing element 3 includes a sealing plate 31. The sealing plate 31 has a vent hole 33 in its center. The vent hole 33 is located directly above the first receiving tank 21, which facilitates the assembly of the venting channel 13. The straight air passage facilitates the flow of air and can reduce the occurrence of condensate. However, condensate is unavoidable. Condensate drips directly into the first receiving tank 21 through the venting channel 13, and there is also the possibility that condensate flows into the air chamber 6 through the inner wall of the venting channel 13.

[0042] The first receiving groove 21 has multiple first ribs 211 protruding upwards. The multiple first ribs 211 extend horizontally and are spaced apart. The multiple first ribs 211 are arranged in parallel and there are gaps between adjacent first ribs 211, which is equivalent to capillary action, which can collect and absorb condensate and prevent condensate from flowing out easily. In this design, the connecting groove 27 is not parallel to the first ribs 211. This allows the first receiving groove 21 to collect condensate first. After the first receiving groove 21 is full, the excess condensate enters the second receiving groove 22. The connecting groove 27 can also be parallel to the first ribs 211. The second receiving groove 22 has two side walls arranged opposite to each other. The side wall of the second receiving groove 22 located on the inner side has multiple second ribs 221 protruding outwards. The multiple second ribs 221 extend vertically and are spaced apart. The multiple second ribs 221 are arranged in parallel and there are gaps between adjacent second ribs 221, which is equivalent to capillary action, which can collect and absorb condensate and prevent condensate from flowing out easily.

[0043] The main body 28 has a first protrusion 23, a second protrusion 24, and a third protrusion 25 protruding upwards. The first protrusion 23 is located between the first receiving groove 21 and the second receiving groove 22, and the first protrusion 23 is arc-shaped. The second protrusion 24 and the third protrusion 25 are located outside the first receiving groove 21, and the second protrusion 24 and the third protrusion 25 are circular. The air inlet 251 opens downwards from the upper surface of the third protrusion 25 and penetrates the lower surface of the main body 28. The upper surface of the second protrusion 24 is higher than the upper surface of the first protrusion 23, and the upper surface of the first protrusion 23 is higher than the upper surface of the third protrusion 25. A ring 281 extends upwards from the edge of the main body 28. The boss 28... 3. The projections of the second protrusion 24 and the third protrusion 25 in the vertical direction are located within the ring body 281. A sealing edge 32 extends downward from the periphery of the sealing plate 31. The sealing edge 32 is interference-fitted between the ring body 281 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. A convex ring 34 extends downward from the lower part of the vent hole 33. A convex arc 35 is convexly formed on the lower surface of the convex ring 34. A retaining groove 36 is provided between adjacent convex arcs 35. The first protrusion 23 is installed in the retaining groove 36. It can support the sealing plate 31 in the vertical direction and prevent the sealing plate 31 from rotating relative to the main body 28 in the horizontal direction. The second protrusion 24 is used to abut against the lower surface of the sealing plate 31 to make the sealing plate 31 bear force evenly and prevent the sealing plate 31 from collapsing downward.

[0044] A first oil-absorbing cotton 4 is installed inside the ring 281. The first oil-absorbing cotton 4 has a first receiving groove 41. The first protrusion 23 is inserted into the first receiving groove 41. The first oil-absorbing cotton 4 abuts against the upper surface of the main body 28. The first oil-absorbing cotton 4 partially covers the second receiving groove 22. The reason for not completely covering it is that condensate can directly enter the second receiving groove 22. A baffle 26 is provided inwardly on the side wall of the ring 281. A second oil-absorbing cotton 5 is also provided above the first oil-absorbing cotton 4. The projection of the second oil-absorbing cotton 5 in the vertical direction covers the second receiving groove 22. The baffle 26 is used to abut against the outer side of the second oil-absorbing cotton 5. The lower surface of the sealing plate 31 is used to abut against the upper surface of the second oil-absorbing cotton 5. The first oil-absorbing cotton 4 can absorb condensate, including condensate dripping directly from the air passage 13, condensate flowing from the lower surface of the sealing plate 31, and condensate in the first receiving groove 21. The second oil-absorbing cotton 5 can further absorb excess condensate. The second oil-absorbing cotton 5 can also prevent the sealing plate 31 from collapsing downwards and play a supporting role.

[0045] A side groove 282 is formed inward on the outer side of the ring body 281. The side groove 282 is located on the upper part of the ring body 281 and surrounds the ring body 281. The side groove 282 extends upward and penetrates the upper surface of the ring body 281. The sealing edge 32 is assembled into the side groove 282. The sealing edge 32 is clamped tightly by internal and external clamping, which increases the airtightness and prevents e-liquid from flowing out. The design of the side groove 282 facilitates the assembly between the sealing edge 32 and the ring body 281, so that the two are assembled into one piece and can be inserted into or removed from the receiving cavity 11 as a whole.

[0046] The center of the sealing element 3 is provided with a retaining groove 37, which is opened downward from the center of the upper surface of the sealing plate 31. The retaining groove 37 is circular and is arranged around the outside of the air passage 33. The lower part of the air passage 13 is engaged with the retaining groove 37. The side wall of the air passage 13 is provided with an oil inlet. The atomizing component 14 is located at the oil inlet. The upper part of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a positioning groove 112, which is circular and is arranged around the outside of the air outlet 12. The upper part of the air passage 13 is engaged with the positioning groove 112.

[0047] The receiving cavity 11 is also equipped with an oil-retaining cotton 15, which stores liquid e-liquid. A through-hole 153 is formed in the center of the oil-retaining cotton 15, and an oil-guiding groove 151 extends inward from the through-hole 153. The oil-guiding groove 151 facilitates the flow of e-liquid, allowing it to directly enter the oil inlet of the air passage 13 through the oil-guiding groove 151, and then enter the atomizing assembly 14, thus accelerating the flow of e-liquid. Air passages 152 are formed on the edge of the oil-retaining cotton 15, and the air passage 13 is inserted into the through-hole 153. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a strip 111, which is inserted into the air passage groove 152. The cooperation between the strip 111 and the air passage groove 152 can prevent the oil storage cotton 15 from rotating in the receiving cavity 11 and also facilitate the installation of the oil storage cotton 15 into the receiving cavity 11. The lower surface of the oil storage cotton 15 abuts against the upper surface of the sealing member 3. When the e-liquid enters the oil storage cotton 15 from above, it squeezes the air in the oil storage cotton 15 downward. The air in the oil storage cotton 15 can flow upward through the air passage groove 152.

[0048] The upper part of the outer shell 1 is provided with a first oil guide column 161, and the top of the receiving cavity 11 extends downward with a second oil guide column 162. The first oil guide column 161 and the second oil guide column 162 are coaxial. The lower surface of the second oil guide column 162 has multiple oil guide holes opening upward, and the upper surface of the first oil guide column 161 has a first oil guide channel 16 opening downward. The first oil guide channel 16 connects to the oil guide holes. There can be multiple oil guide holes, such as 3, 4, 5, etc. The diameter of the oil guide holes is smaller than the diameter of the first oil guide channel 16, which facilitates breaking the binding force between e-liquid molecules and facilitating the separation of e-liquid into smaller molecules that enter the oil storage cotton 15. The upper surface of 5 abuts against the lower surface of the second oil guide column 162, which facilitates the direct entry of e-liquid into the oil storage cotton 15. The oil guide hole is located at the oil guide groove 151. Part of the e-liquid enters the oil storage cotton 15, and part of it enters the oil guide groove 151 and is quickly absorbed by the atomizing component 14. The top of the receiving cavity 11 is also provided with a downward protruding ring rib. The ring rib surrounds the periphery of the second oil guide column 162. The lower surface of the ring rib is higher than the lower surface of the second oil guide column 162. The ring rib can be made into the oil storage cotton 15, which also facilitates the airflow in the air passage 152 to enter the air passage 13 through the gap between them.

[0049] The first wicking column 161 is inserted into the e-liquid reservoir 7, which is pre-filled with e-liquid. The upper part of the reservoir 7 is also equipped with a mouthpiece 71 for easy vaping. The e-liquid storage cotton 15 can be pre-filled with e-liquid to prevent the atomizing component 14 from burning dry. After the reservoir 7 and the atomizer are connected, the e-liquid in the reservoir 7 enters the wicking hole through the first wicking channel 16, and then enters the e-liquid storage cotton 15. The e-liquid in the e-liquid storage cotton 15 enters the inlet hole directly through the wicking groove 151, and then enters the atomizing component 14. Another portion flows downwards in the e-liquid storage cotton 15, slowly filling it. Air in 5 flows upward through the air passage 152, then enters the air passage 13 through the gap between the receiving cavity 11 and the upper surface of the oil-absorbing cotton 15, and flows out from the mouthpiece 71. After the atomizing component 14 is powered on, it heats the e-liquid into smoke, which flows out from the mouthpiece 71. The excess smoke remaining in the air passage 13 cools down and forms condensate. The condensate flows downward through the air passage 13 and is absorbed by the first oil-absorbing cotton 4. Excess e-liquid can also enter the first receiving groove 21 and the second receiving groove 22 for storage, or be absorbed by the second oil-absorbing cotton 5 to prevent the condensate from flowing out of the atomizer.
