Abstract
Description
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vaporization technologies. In particular, the present invention relates to a vaporization arrangement and an electronic vaporization device.BACKGROUND
[0002] An aerosol is a colloidal dispersion system formed by dispersing small solid or liquid particles and suspending the particles in a gas medium. Since the aerosol can be absorbed by a human body through a respiratory system, users are provided with a new alternative absorption manner. For example, a vaporization device that can generate aerosols by baking and heating herbal or ointment aerosol-generating substrates is applied to different fields to deliver inhalable aerosols to the users, replacing conventional product forms and absorption manners.
[0003] Generally, an electronic vaporization device heats an aerosol-generating substrate, and the aerosol-generating substrate is a substrate material capable of generating an aerosol after being heated. In use, the users have different requirements for flavors or types of aerosol substrates. Some electronic vaporization devices have replacement components required to be replaced, and the replacement components are connected to and separated from vaporization main bodies through fixed devices. However, in the related art, the replacement components are generally required to be snapped off manually or replaced by using tools, which is cumbersome and not convenient enough for the users to use.
[0004] US 2020 / 323264 A1 describes an aerosol-generating device including a case into which a cigarette is insertable, a vaporizer detachably combined with the case, and a detachment manipulation unit installed in the case and configured to perform, according to user manipulation, a first operation of maintaining a state in which the vaporizer is combined with the case and a second operation of allowing separation of the vaporizer from the case.SUMMARY
[0005] Based on the above, there is a need to provide a vaporization arrangement and an electronic vaporization device with respect to the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the replacement component in the electronic vaporization device.
[0006] According to an aspect of the present invention, a vaporization arrangement is as set forth in claim 1.
[0007] In the vaporization arrangement, at the lock position, the locking member locks the replacement component and the vaporization main body, and fixes the replacement component to the vaporization main body. Moreover, the locking member opens the opening of the first accommodating cavity, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate can be loaded into the first accommodating cavity through the opening of the first accommodating cavity. In this way, at the lock position, the locking member fixes the replacement component in the second accommodating cavity and allows the solid aerosol-generating substrate to be inserted into the first accommodating cavity, and the vaporization main body can mix and vaporize a liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component and the solid aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity.
[0008] When the replacement component is required to be removed, the user can operate the locking member to switch the locking member from the lock position to the unlock position, so that the locking member is separated from the replacement component to release the replacement component, and then the user can remove the replacement component from the vaporization main body. At the same time, the locking member at the unlock position blocks the opening of the first accommodating cavity to prevent entry of impurities into the first accommodating cavity during removing or fitting of the replacement component. In this way, the user can lock and unlock the replacement component by operating the locking member, which is easy to mount and remove the replacement component, and is easy and convenient to operate.
[0009] In the invention, the locking member is slidably arranged on the vaporization main body and operable to slide between the lock position and the unlock position.
[0010] In an embodiment, at the lock position, the locking member has a portion connected to the vaporization main body and another portion connected to the replacement component. At the unlock position, the locking member slides completely onto the vaporization main body.
[0011] In an embodiment, the vaporization main body and the replacement component are provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove respectively. At the unlock position, the locking member slides completely into the first sliding groove. At the lock position, the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove communicates with each other, and the locking member has a portion located in the first sliding groove and connected to the vaporization main body and another portion located in the second sliding groove and connected to the replacement component.
[0012] In an embodiment, the first sliding groove has a sidewall provided with a first slot, and the second sliding groove has a sidewall provided with a second slot. The locking member includes a main body and a holding part arranged on and protruding from the main body. At the unlock position, the holding part is completely located in the first slot. At the lock position, the holding part has a portion located in the first slot and another portion located in the second slot.
[0013] In an embodiment, the vaporization arrangement further includes a self-locking assembly arranged on the vaporization main body. When the second accommodating cavity is vacant, the self-locking assembly is in a first state where the locking member is blocked at the unlock position. When the second accommodating cavity is fitted with the replacement component, the self-locking assembly is in a second state where the locking member is allowed to switch from the unlock position to the lock position.
[0014] In an embodiment, the self-locking assembly includes a self-locking bracket liftably arranged on the vaporization main body. In the first state, the self-locking bracket is unconstrained by the replacement component and extends into a sliding path of the locking member. In the second state, the self-locking bracket exits the sliding path of the locking member under the action of the replacement component.
[0015] In an embodiment, the self-locking bracket includes a body and an abutment portion. The abutment portion at least partially protrudes from the vaporization main body. The abutment portion is adapted to be pushed by the replacement component fitted on the vaporization main body and then move in a direction away from the locking member, or the abutment portion is adapted to be released by the replacement component separated from the vaporization main body and then move in a direction close to the locking member.
[0016] In an embodiment, the self-locking bracket further includes a blocking part arranged on the body. The blocking part is capable of extending into or exiting the sliding path of the locking member.
[0017] In an embodiment, the self-locking assembly further includes an elastic member elastically abutting against the self-locking bracket and the vaporization main body and configured to store elastic potential energy that drives the self-locking bracket to extend into the sliding path of the locking member.
[0018] In an embodiment, the vaporization arrangement further includes an auxiliary assembly configured to fix the locking member at the unlock position and the vaporization main body and configured to fix the locking member at the lock position and the vaporization main body.
[0019] In an embodiment, the auxiliary assembly includes a first magnetic member, a second magnetic member, and a third magnetic member. The first magnetic member is arranged at an end of the vaporization main body close to the replacement component, and the second magnetic member and the third magnetic member are spaced apart on the locking member along a sliding direction of the locking member. When the locking member is at the unlock position, the second magnetic member is adsorbed to the first magnetic member. When the locking member is at the lock position, the third magnetic member is adsorbed to the first magnetic member.
[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic vaporization device is provided. The electronic vaporization device includes a replacement component and the vaporization arrangement according to the above aspect. The replacement component is removably fitted in the second accommodating cavity.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only, and do not represent unique embodiments.
[0029] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic vaporization device is provided, including a vaporization arrangement 100 and a replacement component 30. The vaporization arrangement 100 is configured to heat and vaporize an aerosol-generating substrate to form smoke for a user to use.
[0030] The vaporization arrangement 100 includes a vaporization main body 10. A first accommodating cavity 15 for accommodating a solid aerosol-generating substrate and a second accommodating cavity 17 for accommodating a replacement component 30 are formed on the vaporization main body 10, so as to removably mount the replacement component 30 on the vaporization arrangement 100 through the second accommodating cavity 17. During the use of the electronic vaporization device by the user, the replacement component 30 may accommodate a liquid aerosol-generating substrate, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 15 of the vaporization main body 10. The replacement component 30 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 17 of the vaporization main body 10. During operation of the vaporization main body 10, the solid aerosol-generating substrate and the liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component 30 are both heated and vaporized to form mixed smoke for the user to inhale.
[0031] Moreover, when the liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component 30 is used up, a further replacement component 30 may be replaced in the second accommodating cavity 17, so that the replacement component 30 can continue to cooperate the solid aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity 15 for mixing and vaporization. Optionally, the replacement component 30 is a cartridge.
[0032] Further optionally, the replacement component 30 is removably mounted on the vaporization main body 10 along a first direction. That is, when the replacement component 30 is moved along the first direction, disassembly and assembly between the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10 can be realized. As shown in FIG. 1, the first direction is a vertical direction, and when the replacement component 30 is moved upwards along the first direction, the replacement component 30 can be fitted on the vaporization main body 10. In addition, when the replaceable component 30 is required to be replaced, the replacement component 30 is moved downwards along the first direction, and a required replacement component 30 can be fitted on the vaporization main body 10.
[0033] In some embodiments, the vaporization arrangement 100 further includes a locking member 50, and the locking member 50 is arranged movably relative to the vaporization main body 10. The locking member 50 is provided with a lock position for opening an opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 and locking the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10, and an unlock position for blocking the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 while causing the locking member to be separated from the replacement component 30. In other words, at the lock position, the locking member 50 locks the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10, and fixes the replacement component 30 to the vaporization main body 10. Moreover, the locking member 50 opens the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate can be loaded into the first accommodating cavity 15 through the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15. In this way, at the lock position, the locking member 50 fixes the replacement component 30 in the second accommodating cavity 17 and allows the solid aerosol-generating substrate to be inserted into the first accommodating cavity 15, and the vaporization main body 10 can mix and vaporize a liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component 30 and the solid aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity 15.
[0034] When the replacement component 30 is required to be removed, the user can operate the locking member 50 to switch the locking member 50 from the lock position to the unlock position, so that the locking member 50 is separated from the replacement component 30 to release the replacement component 30, and then the user can remove the replacement component 30 from the vaporization main body 10. At the same time, the locking member 50 at the unlock position blocks the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 to prevent entry of impurities into the first accommodating cavity 15 during removing and fitting of the replacement component 30. In this way, the user can lock and unlock the replacement component 30 by operating the locking member 50, which is easy to mount and remove the replacement component 30, and is easy and convenient to operate.
[0035] Further, the locking member 50 is slidably arranged on the vaporization main body 10 and operable to slide between the lock position and the unlock position. "The locking member 50 is slidably arranged on the vaporization main body 10" means that the locking member 50 can slide on the vaporization main body 10 and can partially slide out of the vaporization main body 10. In this way, the locking member 50 is slidably arranged on the vaporization main body 10, and the user can lock and unlock the replacement component 30 by sliding the locking member 50.
[0036] Furthermore, at the lock position, the locking member 50 has a portion connected to the vaporization main body 10 and another portion connected to the replacement component 30, so as to lock the replacement component 30 onto the vaporization main body 10. At the unlock position, the locking member 50 slides completely onto the vaporization main body 10, and then is completely separated from the replacement component 30 to release the replacement component 30, allowing the replacement component 30 to be removed from the vaporization main body 10.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking member 50 is slidably arranged along a second direction intersecting with the first direction. When sliding along the second direction, the locking member 50 may be connected to or separated from the replacement component 30, thereby locking or unlocking the replacement component 30. As shown in FIG. 1, the second direction is a horizontal direction.
[0038] In some embodiments, the vaporization main body 10 and the replacement component 30 are provided with a first sliding groove 11 and a second sliding groove 31 respectively. At the unlock position, the locking member 50 slides completely into the first sliding groove 11. That is, the locking member 50 slides completely onto the vaporization main body 10 and then can be separated from the replacement component 30 to release the replacement component 30, allowing the replacement component 30 to move relative to the vaporization main body 10 to achieve disassembly. At the lock position, the locking member 50 has a portion located in the first sliding groove 11 and connected to the vaporization main body 10 and another portion located in the second sliding groove 31 and connected to the replacement component 30. That is, a portion of the locking member 50 is located on the vaporization main body 10 and connected to the vaporization main body 10, and another portion of the locking member 50 is located on the replacement component 30 and connected to the replacement component 30. The replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10 are connected by using the locking member 50, preventing separation of the replacement component 30 from the vaporization main body 10.
[0039] Further, the first sliding groove 11 has a sidewall provided with a first slot 13, and the second sliding groove 31 has a sidewall provided with a second slot 33. The locking member 50 includes a main body 10 and a holding part 54 arranged on and protruding from the main body 10. At the unlock position, the holding part 54 is completely located in the first slot 13, so that the locking member 50 is connected to the vaporization main body 10 through the holding part 54 arranged in the first slot 13. At the lock position, the holding part 54 has a portion located in the first slot 13 and another portion located in the second slot 33. In this way, the locking member 50 is not only connected to the vaporization main body 10, but also connected to the replacement component 30, thereby realizing the connection between the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10, preventing separation of the replacement component 30 from the vaporization main body 10.
[0040] Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the vaporization arrangement 100 further includes a self-locking assembly 70 arranged on the vaporization main body 10. When the second accommodating cavity 17 is vacant, the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization main body 10, and the self-locking assembly 70 is in a first state where the locking member 50 is blocked at the unlock position. When the second accommodating cavity 17 is fitted with the replacement component 30, the self-locking assembly 70 is in a second state where the locking member 50 is allowed to switch from the unlock position to the lock position.
[0041] In this way, when the second accommodating cavity 17 is vacant, the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization main body 10, the locking member 50 has switched to the unlock position, and the locking member 50 is located on the vaporization main body 10. In this case, the self-locking assembly 70 in the first state can block and limit the locking member 50, thereby preventing separation of the locking member 50 from the vaporization main body 10. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on the vaporization main body 10, the replacement component 30 is accommodated in the second accommodating cavity 17 of the vaporization main body 10. The self-locking assembly 70 switches to the second state to allow the locking member 50 to slide to switch the position, and then the user can switch the locking member 50 from the unlock position to the lock position, and complete the fitting of the replacement component 30 by connecting and fixing the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10 through the locking member 50.
[0042] The first sliding groove 11 and the second sliding groove 31 are each provided with an abutment opening. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on the vaporization main body 10, the abutment openings of the first sliding groove 11 and the second sliding groove 31 abut against each other and communicates with each other, and then the first sliding groove 11 and the second sliding groove 31 communicates with each other. After the replacement component 30 is removed from the vaporization main body 10, the abutment opening of the first sliding groove 11 is open to communicate with the external environment. In this case, the locking member 50 in the first sliding groove 11 is easy to fall off from the first sliding groove 11. In order to prevent this situation, after the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization main body 10, in the present application, the locking member 50 at the unlock position is limited and blocked on the vaporization main body 10 by the self-locking assembly 70 to prevent falling off of the locking member 50 from the first sliding groove 11.
[0043] In other words, the self-locking assembly 70 in the first state blocks the locking member 50 in the first sliding groove 11 of the vaporization main body 10 to prevent separation of the locking member 50 from the vaporization main body 10 through the abutment opening of the first sliding groove 11.
[0044] Further, the self-locking assembly 70 includes a self-locking bracket 72, and the self-locking bracket 72 is liftably arranged on the vaporization main body 10. In the first state, the self-locking bracket 72 is unconstrained by the replacement component 30 and extends into a sliding path of the locking member 50. In the second state, the self-locking bracket 72 exits the sliding path of the locking member 50 under the action of the replacement component 30. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on the vaporization main body 10, the replacement component 30 applies force to the self-locking bracket 72, so that the self-locking bracket 72 descends to exit the sliding path of the locking member 50, allowing the locking member 50 to move from the unlock position to the lock position to fix the replacement component 30 to the vaporization main body 10. When the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization main body 10, the self-locking bracket 72 ascends to extend into the sliding path of the locking member 50 to block the locking member 50 and prevent the locking member 50 from sliding to be detached from the vaporization main body 10.
[0045] Specifically, the self-locking bracket 72 includes a body 721 and an abutment portion 723. The abutment portion 723 at least partially protrudes from the vaporization main body 10. The abutment portion 723 is adapted to be pushed by the replacement component 30 fitted on the vaporization main body 10 and then move in a direction away from the locking member 50, to drive the self-locking bracket 72 to exit the sliding path of the locking member 50. Alternatively, the abutment portion 723 is adapted to be released by the replacement component 30 separated from the vaporization main body 10 and then move in a direction close to the locking member 50, to drive the self-locking bracket 72 to be blocked on the sliding path of the locking member 50. That is, when fitted on the vaporization main body 10, the replacement component 30 cooperates with the abutment portion 723 to press down the abutment portion 723 and the self-locking bracket 72, so that the self-locking bracket 72 descends to exit the sliding path of the locking member 50, allowing the locking member 50 to switch to the lock position.
[0046] Optionally, an acting part 32 protrudes from an outer sidewall of the replacement component 30. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on the vaporization main body 10, the acting part 32 is supported on the abutment portion 723 of the self-locking bracket 72, and the self-locking bracket 72 is pressed down.
[0047] More specifically, the self-locking bracket 72 further includes a blocking part 725 arranged on the body 721. The blocking part 725 can enter or exit the sliding path of the locking member 50 to block or release the locking member 50 through the blocking part 725. Optionally, two blocking parts 725 are provided. The two blocking parts 725 ascend and descend synchronously, which can block the locking member 50 more effectively.
[0048] In some embodiments, the self-locking assembly 70 further includes an elastic member 74. The elastic member 74 elastically abutts against the self-locking bracket 72 and the vaporization main body 10 and configured to store elastic potential energy that drives the self-locking bracket 72 to extend into the sliding path of the locking member 50. When the self-locking bracket 72 is pushed by the replacement component 30 to descend, the elastic member 74 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. After the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization main body 10, the self-locking bracket 72 is no longer constrained, and the elastic member 74 releases its own elastic potential energy and drives the self-locking bracket 72 to rise to extend into the sliding path of the locking member 50, so that the locking member 50 is limited and blocked on the vaporization main body 10.
[0049] In some embodiments, the vaporization arrangement 100 further includes an auxiliary assembly 90. The auxiliary assembly 90 is configured to fix the locking member 50 at the unlock position and the vaporization main body 10 to fix the locking member 50 to the unlock position and configured to fix the locking member 50 at the lock position and the vaporization main body 10. In this way, when the locking member 50 is at the unlock position, the auxiliary assembly 90 can fix the locking member 50 to the vaporization main body 10 to prevent deviation of the locking member 50 from the unlock position. When the locking member 50 switches to the lock position, the auxiliary assembly 90 can also fix the locking member 50 to the vaporization main body 10 to prevent deviation of the locking member 50 from the lock position.
[0050] Further, the auxiliary assembly 90 includes a first magnetic member 92, a second magnetic member 94, and a third magnetic member 96. The first magnetic member 92 is arranged at an end of the vaporization main body 10 close to the replacement component 30, and the second magnetic member 94 and the third magnetic member 96 are spaced apart on the locking member 50 along a sliding direction of the locking member 50. When the locking member 50 is at the unlock position, the second magnetic member 94 is adsorbed to the first magnetic member 92 to fix the locking member 50 to the unlock position. When the locking member 50 is at the lock position, the third magnetic member 96 is adsorbed to the first magnetic member 92 to fix the locking member 50 to the lock position. When the locking member 50 switches between the unlock position and the lock position, the first magnetic member 92 moves with the locking member 50 to be misaligned with the second magnetic member 94 and the third magnetic member 96, and the locking member 50 is no longer subjected to magnetic adsorption force and can freely switch the position.
[0051] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the vaporization arrangement 100 is provided. The vaporization arrangement 100 further includes a vaporization main body 10 and a locking member 50, and the locking member 50 is arranged movably relative to for opening an opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 and locking the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10, and an unlock position for blocking the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 while causing the locking member to be separated from the replacement component 30. In other words, at the lock position, the locking member 50 locks the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 10, and fixes the replacement component 30 to the vaporization main body 10. Moreover, the locking member 50 opens the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate can be loaded into the first accommodating cavity 15 through the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15. In this way, at the lock position, the locking member 50 fixes the replacement component 30 in the second accommodating cavity 17 and allows the solid aerosol-generating substrate to be inserted into the first accommodating cavity 15, and the vaporization main body 10 can mix and vaporize a liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component 30 and the solid aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity 15.
[0052] When the replacement component 30 is required to be removed, the user can operate the locking member 50 to switch the locking member 50 from the lock position to the unlock position, so that the locking member 50 is separated from the replacement component 30 to release the replacement component 30, and then the user can remove the replacement component 30 from the vaporization main body 10. At the same time, the locking member 50 at the unlock position blocks the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 to prevent entry of impurities into the first accommodating cavity 15 during removing and fitting of the replacement component 30. In this way, the user can lock and unlock the replacement component 30 by operating the locking member 50, which is easy to mount and remove the replacement component 30, and is easy and convenient to operate.
