Description

Atomization device and atomization component thereof

Technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization device and an atomization component thereof. [Background Technology]

[0002] An atomizing device refers to a device that forms an aerosol from a stored atomizable medium by heating or ultrasound. Current atomizing devices are usually equipped with an atomizing module and a storage cavity for storing an atomizing matrix. The atomizing matrix in the storage cavity can enter the atomizing module and be heated and atomized to form an aerosol. These aerosols mix with the air entering the atomizing module and then flow out of the atomizing cavity for the user to inhale. Currently, atomizing devices on the market often connect the oil guide hole of the atomizing module with the storage cavity, so that the atomizing module is immersed in the atomizing matrix for a long time. This causes the oil guide body in the atomizing module to be in a saturated state for a long time, which easily causes the atomizing matrix to leak through the atomizing channel of the atomizing module, causing pollution, and affecting the taste of the aerosol produced by atomization. Consumers may even inhale the leaked atomizing matrix into their mouths during use, giving consumers a very poor experience. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a new atomizing component structure to improve the problem of oil leakage during storage.

When the sliding member is in the open position, the oil inlet hole is located in the storage cavity, and the oil outlet hole is located in the buffer cavity.

[0033] The present application provides an atomizer assembly 10. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 . Figure 1 is an axial cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the atomizer assembly of the present application. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 1 with the sliding member in the closed position. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 1 with the sliding member in the open position. The atomizer assembly 10 includes a housing 110, an atomizer module 120, and a sliding member 130. Specifically, the atomization module 120 is arranged in the shell 110, and an oil guide hole 1201 is opened on its side wall. A storage chamber 1101 and a buffer chamber 1102 are provided in the shell 110. The storage chamber 1101 is used to store the atomized matrix, and the buffer chamber 1102 is connected to the oil guide hole 1201. The sliding member 130 is slidably arranged in the shell 110 and can move between an open position and a closed position to connect or isolate the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102. When the sliding member 130 is in the open position, the atomized matrix in the storage chamber 1101 can enter the atomization module 120 through the buffer chamber 1102 and the oil guide hole 1201, and the atomization module 120 can heat and atomize the atomized matrix to form an aerosol. Specifically, the atomization module 120 may include an atomization tube 121 and an oil guide member 122 in the atomization tube 121. The oil guide hole 1201 is opened on the side wall of the atomization tube 121. The oil guide member 122 is wrapped on the heating element (not shown in the figure). The oil guide member 122 can guide the atomization matrix in the buffer cavity 1102 to a position close to the heating element through the oil guide hole 1201, so that the atomization matrix is ​​heated and atomized to form an aerosol. The oil guide member 122 can be ceramic or oil guide cotton, and the heating element can be a heating wire or a heating plate, etc.

[0034] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4, which is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the shell of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 1. The shell 110 is provided with a partition 111 having a through hole 1103. The partition 111 divides the space inside the shell 110 into a storage chamber 1101 and a buffer chamber 1102. The storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 can be connected through the through hole 1103. The sliding member 130 is inserted into the through hole 1103. One end of the sliding member 130 is provided with an oil blocking portion 131. The projected area of ​​the oil blocking portion 131 along the normal direction of the through hole 1103 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 1103, so that it can completely cover the through hole 1103. When the sliding member 130 is in the closed position, the oil blocking portion 131 can seal the through hole 1103 to separate the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102. Furthermore, the oil-blocking portion 131 may be made of plastic, metal, or metal alloy, and may be shaped like a circle, a square, or other shapes that match the through hole 1103 .

[0035] Alternatively, refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the structural representation of the linkage member of the atomizing assembly shown in Figure 1. Sliding member 130 also comprises linkage member 132, linkage member 132 comprises main body 1323 and first end 1321 and second end 1322 positioned at main body 1323 two ends, and first end 1321 is connected with oil-blocking part 131. Optionally, oil-blocking part 131 and linkage member 132 can be an integral structure, can be by integral injection molding. Further, oil-blocking part 131 and linkage member 132 can also be a split structure, between oil-blocking part 131 and the first end 1321 of linkage member 132, be detachably connected. Specifically, first end 1321 and oil-blocking part 131 can be connected together in the mode of snap-in or interference fit. The material of linkage member 132 can be materials such as plastic, metal or metal alloy, and the shape of main body 1323 can be cylindrical, prismatic or other shape that is adapted to through hole 1103. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the sliding member 130 is in the open position, and the second end portion 1322 is supported by the battery assembly 20, thereby causing the linkage member 132 to drive the oil blocking portion 131 away from the through hole 1103. Specifically, when the sliding member 130 is in the open position, the oil blocking portion 131 and the first end portion 1321 of the linkage member 132 are away from the through hole 1103 and enter the storage cavity 1101. The oil blocking portion 131 no longer seals the through hole 1103, and the atomized matrix in the storage cavity 1101 can enter the buffer cavity 1102 through the through hole 1103, and then enter the atomizer module 120 through the oil guide hole 1201.

[0036] Optionally, the atomizer assembly 10 further includes an elastic member 140, which is connected to the slider 130 and is used to provide an elastic force to drive the slider 130 from the open position to the closed position. Furthermore, the elastic member 140 is made of a plastic or metal alloy with elastic deformation capabilities. Specifically, the elastic member 140 can be a spring and is disposed around the linkage member 132.

[0037] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 6, which is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the base of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 1. The atomizer assembly 10 also includes a base 150, a buffer chamber 1102 located between the base 150 and the housing 110, and the base 150 is provided with a through-going docking channel 1501 and an air inlet channel 1502. The air inlet channel 1502 is connected to the atomizer tube 121 of the atomizer module 120, and the gas outside the atomizer assembly 10 can enter the atomizer tube 121 through the air inlet channel 1502. The second end 1322 of the linkage 132 is located in the docking channel 1501, and the second end 1322 is adapted to the docking channel 1501, so that there is a smaller fitting gap between the second end 1322 and the docking channel 1501, and they can slide relative to each other, so as to drive the linkage 132 to slide along the docking channel 1501 under the drive of an external force. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the battery assembly 20 can support the second end 1322, so that the sliding member 130 as a whole slides away from the base 150 to the open position, thereby causing the oil-blocking portion 131 to leave the through hole 1103, so that the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 can be connected.

[0038] Furthermore, the first end 1321 of the linkage member 132 is clamped in the oil-blocking portion 131, and a protrusion 1324 is provided between the main body 1323 and the second end 1322 of the linkage member 132. One end of the elastic member 140 is connected to the protrusion 1324, and the other end is connected to the shell 110 around the through hole 1103. The elastic member 140 is compressed between the protrusion 1324 and the shell 110 to apply a force on the protrusion 1324 away from the shell 110, so that the oil-blocking portion 131 seals the through hole 1103.

[0039] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body 1323 of the linkage 132 is smaller than the area of ​​the through hole 1103, so that when the sliding member 130 is in the open position, a gap is left between the sliding member 130 and the through hole 1103, and the atomized matrix in the storage cavity 1101 can enter the buffer cavity 1102 through the gap.

[0040] Further, please refer to Figure 7 to Figure 10 together, Figure 7 is the axial side cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the present application's atomizer assembly, Figure 8 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram when the slider of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 7 is in the closed position, Figure 9 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram when the slider of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 7 is in the open position, and Figure 10 is a structural representation of the linkage member of the atomizer assembly shown in Figure 7. One end of the elastic member 140 in the present embodiment is connected with protrusion 1324, and the other end is connected with the partition plate 111 around the through hole 1103, when the slider 130 is in the closed position, the elastic member 140 is a compressed state, and protrusion 1324 is away from through hole 1103 under the elastic force of the elastic member 140, so that the oil-blocking portion 131 seals the through hole 1103, and now protrusion 1324 can abut base 150, as the limit of linkage member 132 moving downward to the extreme position.

[0041] Optionally, the main body 1323 is provided with a hollow channel 13231, and an oil inlet hole 13232 and an oil outlet hole 13233 connected to the hollow channel 13231. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the second end 1322 of the linkage 132 is supported by the battery assembly 20, so that the sliding member 130 moves from the closed position to the open position, and the oil inlet hole 13232 moves from the buffer chamber 1102 to the storage chamber 1101, and the oil outlet hole 13233 is located in the buffer chamber 1102. The atomized matrix in the storage chamber 1101 can enter the hollow channel 13231 through the oil inlet hole 13232, and enter the buffer chamber 1102 from the oil outlet hole 13233. Furthermore, when the sliding member 130 is in the open position, the oil outlet hole 13233 can face the oil guide hole 1201 , so that the atomized matrix in the hollow channel 13231 can directly enter the atomization module 120 through the oil outlet hole 13233 and the oil guide hole 1201 .

[0042] Optionally, the atomization assembly 10 further includes a nozzle 160, and the aerosol generated by the atomization module 120 heating the atomized matrix can be discharged from the nozzle 160 through the atomization tube 121. A sealing ring 170 is provided between the nozzle 160 and the shell 110, between the nozzle 160 and the atomization module 120, between the base 150 and the shell 110, and between the second end 1322 and the docking channel 1501 to prevent leakage of the atomized matrix in the storage cavity 1101 and the buffer cavity 1102. Furthermore, a metal electrode 180 is also installed on the base 150, which is riveted to the heating wire of the atomization module 120 and can be electrically connected to the battery assembly 20 to power the atomization module 120.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figures 11 to 13. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the atomizing device of the present application, Figure 12 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the atomizing device shown in Figure 11 from another angle, and Figure 13 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the fixing bracket of the atomizing device shown in Figure 11. The present application also provides an atomizing device, including the atomizing assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 of the above embodiment, the battery assembly 20 being electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 10 to supply power to the atomizing assembly 10.

[0044] Optionally, the battery assembly 20 includes a fixed bracket 210, and the fixed bracket 210 is provided with a top portion 211. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the top portion 211 supports the sliding member 130, so that the sliding member 130 is in the open position. Specifically, the top portion 211 can extend into the docking channel 1501 of the base 150, and support the second end portion 1322 of the linkage member 132, so that the linkage member 132 drives the oil-blocking portion 131 to leave the through hole 1103. Optionally, in some other embodiments, the matching relationship between the top portion 211 and the docking channel 1501 can also play a role in preventing the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 from interlocking.

[0045] Optionally, the battery assembly 20 also includes a spring electrode 220, which can be electrically connected to the metal electrode 180 of the atomizer assembly 10 to conduct the battery 250 current to supply power to the atomizer module 120. Furthermore, the battery assembly 20 is also provided with a magnet 230, which can attract the metal electrode 180 to ensure that the spring electrode 220 and the metal electrode 180 are not disconnected during the connection process between the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20. Furthermore, the battery assembly 20 also includes a microphone 240. When the user draws through the mouthpiece 160, the microphone 240 can sense the change in airflow and provide a signal to the battery 250 to output current to power the atomizer assembly 10, and the atomizer module 120 further heats the atomized matrix to form an aerosol.

[0046] When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the slider 130 is in the open position, the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 are connected, and the atomized substrate can quickly enter the atomizer module 120 to be heated and atomized. When the atomizer device is not in use, the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 can be separated. The slider 130 automatically returns to the closed state under the elastic force of the elastic member 140, and the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 are separated, preventing the atomized substrate from entering the atomizer module 120 and causing oil leakage.

[0047] The atomization device and atomization assembly provided in the present application are configured to control the connection or isolation between the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 by setting a sliding member 130 in the shell 110, so as to open or close the passage for the atomization matrix in the storage chamber 1101 to enter the atomization module 120, thereby avoiding the atomization module 120 being immersed in the atomization matrix for a long time when the atomization device is not in use, thereby improving the problem of oil leakage during product storage.

[0048] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present application and do not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
