[Specific implementation method]
[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0043] The terms "first," "second," and "third" in this application are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. All directional indications in the embodiments of this application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components under a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0044] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0045] In the related art, if there is any atomizing medium remaining in the nozzle assembly of the electronic atomizing device, it is easy to cause two problems: first, the atomizing medium will solidify if it stays in the nozzle assembly for a long time, causing the nozzle assembly to be blocked and unable to continue to be used; second, the atomizing medium remaining in the nozzle assembly is in contact with the air for a long time, which is easy to breed microorganisms, causing the atomizing medium to be contaminated by microorganisms and deteriorate, and then cause problems such as odor or damage to the user's skin due to contact with the deteriorated atomizing medium.
[0046] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic atomization device, which facilitates replacement or regular maintenance of the nozzle head assembly by detachably connecting the nozzle head assembly to the liquid storage assembly and / or the main unit; and when there is residual atomizing medium in the nozzle head assembly causing nozzle clogging or the residual atomizing medium deteriorating, you can choose to only replace or repair the nozzle head assembly without damaging the liquid storage assembly and / or the main unit, thereby solving the problem of residual atomizing medium in the nozzle head assembly causing nozzle clogging and deterioration of the atomizing medium.
[0047] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0048] Please refer to Figures 1a to 2. Figure 1a is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an electronic atomization device provided in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 1b is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the electronic atomization device shown in Figure 1a provided in one embodiment of the present application;
[0049] Figure 2 is an enlarged view of point M in Figure 1b. In this embodiment, an electronic atomization device is provided for atomizing an atomizing medium to form an aerosol. This electronic atomization device can be used in fields such as medical treatment, cosmetics, healthcare, and electronic atomization. The atomizing medium can be a liquid matrix, such as an oil with added aroma components or a liquid medicine.
[0050] As shown in Figure 1b, the electronic atomization device includes a host 1, a liquid storage component 2 and a nozzle component 3. The liquid storage component 2 is arranged in the host 1 and has a liquid outlet 21 (see Figure 4 below). The liquid storage component 2 is used to store the atomized medium; or the liquid storage component 2 stores the atomized medium, and the atomized medium flows out through the liquid outlet 21 of the liquid storage component 2. In a specific embodiment, referring to Figures 3 and 4, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure after the nozzle assembly and the liquid storage component provided in an embodiment of the present application are connected; Figure 4 is a BB sectional view of Figure 3. The liquid storage component 2 includes a liquid storage shell 22, a sealing member 23 and a fixing member 24. The liquid storage shell 22 is used to form a liquid storage tank with a liquid outlet 21 at one end along its axial direction Y. The sealing member 23 and the fixing member 24 can be combined into one component and arranged at the other end of the liquid storage tank to seal the atomized medium in the liquid storage tank, and the atomized medium flows out of the liquid storage tank through the liquid outlet 21, or the atomized medium can be injected into the liquid storage tank through the liquid outlet 21. Among them, the sealing member 23 and the fixing member 24 can be axially movable in the liquid storage tank from the other end of the liquid storage tank to realize active liquid supply of the liquid storage component 2; in this embodiment, the main unit 1 includes a driving member, which is connected to the fixing member 24 of the liquid storage component 2, and is used to provide thrust to push the fixing member 24 to move, such as moving toward the liquid outlet 21, so as to drive the atomized medium to flow out of the liquid storage tank through the liquid outlet 21. Of course, the liquid storage component 2 can adopt a passive liquid supply method, that is, it can be achieved through the siphon effect of the gas.
[0051] The nozzle assembly 3 has a liquid inlet 31, and the liquid inlet 31 of the nozzle assembly 3 is connected to the liquid storage assembly 2, and is used to atomize the atomizing medium to form an aerosol. The nozzle assembly 3 has a first clip 32 and / or a second clip 33; the first clip 32 is used to rotate along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 until it is engaged with the liquid storage assembly 2, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2. After the first clip 32 is rotated and connected to the nozzle assembly 3, the liquid outlet 21 is connected to the liquid inlet 31. The second clip 33 is used to rotate along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 until it is engaged with the main unit 1; thereby realizing a detachable connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the main unit 1. The rotational connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 can be achieved by rotating the nozzle assembly 3 while the liquid storage assembly 2 remains stationary; or rotating the nozzle assembly 3 while the liquid storage assembly 2 remains stationary; or rotating the liquid storage assembly 2 and the nozzle assembly 3 simultaneously, with the two rotating in opposite directions. This application does not impose any restrictions on this, as long as the rotational connection between the liquid storage assembly 2 and the nozzle assembly 3 is achieved. The rotational connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the host 1 is similar. The following embodiments of this application all take the rotating nozzle assembly 3 as an example.
[0052] The above-mentioned method facilitates replacement or regular maintenance of the main unit 1, the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 by detachably connecting the nozzle assembly 3 with the liquid storage assembly 2 and / or the main unit 1; and when there is residual atomizing medium in the nozzle assembly 3, which causes the nozzle 35 to be clogged or the residual atomizing medium to deteriorate, it is possible to choose to only replace or repair the nozzle assembly 3 without damaging the liquid storage assembly 2 and / or the main unit 1, thereby solving the problem of residual atomizing medium in the nozzle assembly 3 causing the nozzle 35 to be clogged and the atomizing medium to deteriorate. At the same time, the first buckle 32 is aligned with the corresponding position of the liquid storage component 2 in a rotating manner, and the two are snapped together; and the second buckle 33 is aligned with the corresponding position of the host 1, and the two are snapped together; the first buckle 32 can be smoothly transitioned to the corresponding snapping position of the liquid storage component 2, or the second buckle 33 can be smoothly transitioned to the corresponding snapping position of the host 1. Compared with the solution that requires a large external force to directly snap the first buckle 32 of the nozzle assembly 3 to the liquid storage component 2 along the axial direction Y of the liquid storage component 2, and the second buckle 33 to the host 1 along the axial direction Y of the host 1, the risk of damage to the first buckle 32, the second buckle 33 and the corresponding buckles on the liquid storage component 2 and the host 1 during the snapping process is reduced; and compared with the threaded screw connection method, the screwing path can be shortened, thereby realizing quick installation and replacement of the host 1, the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage component 2.
[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a nozzle assembly according to an embodiment of the present application from a first viewing angle; Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the nozzle assembly shown in Figure 5 taken along the CC axis; Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a liquid storage assembly according to an embodiment of the present application; and Figure 8 is a partial schematic diagram of a liquid storage assembly according to an embodiment of the present application. The nozzle assembly 3 has a first buckle 32, and the liquid storage assembly 2 has a third buckle 25. The first buckle 32 rotates along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 to the position where the third buckle 25 is located, and then engages with the third buckle 25.
[0054] As shown in Figure 6 , the nozzle assembly 3 also includes a base body 34. The first clip 32 includes a nozzle connection portion 32a and a flange portion 32b. The nozzle connection portion 32a is connected to the base body 34, and the flange portion 32b is connected to a side surface of the nozzle connection portion 32a and is spaced apart from the base body 34. Specifically, the base body 34, the nozzle connection portion 32a, and the flange portion 32b can be integrally formed.
[0055] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the third clip 25 includes a liquid storage connecting portion 25a and a clamping portion 25b; the liquid storage connecting portion 25a is connected to the liquid storage shell 22, and the clamping portion 25b is connected to the end of the liquid storage connecting portion 25a away from the liquid storage shell 22, and extends in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction Y of the liquid storage shell 22, and defines a U-shaped groove 26 with the clamping portion 25b and the liquid storage shell 22; the flange portion 32b is rotated into the U-shaped groove 26 to be clamped with the liquid storage assembly 2.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, in conjunction with Figures 5 and 7, the first clip 32 and the third clip 25 are both arc-shaped, and the first clip 32 is arranged around the liquid inlet 31 of the nozzle assembly 3, and the third clip 25 is arranged around the liquid outlet 21. In this specific embodiment, the clamping portion 25b specifically extends along the circumference of the liquid storage connection portion 25a and protrudes from the liquid storage connection portion 25a in a direction away from the liquid outlet 21, thereby defining a circumferentially extending slide around the liquid outlet 21 with the liquid storage shell 22 and the liquid storage connection portion 25a. It can be understood that the above-mentioned U-shaped groove 26 refers to the vertical cross-section of the slide being U-shaped; the liquid storage shell 22 and the clamping portion 25b form the two opposite side walls of the U-shaped groove 26; and the liquid storage connection portion 25a forms the bottom wall of the U-shaped groove 26. After the first buckle 32 rotates into the U-shaped groove 26 , the liquid storage housing 22 and the clamping portion 25 b clamp the first buckle 32 along the axial direction Y of the liquid storage housing 22 to achieve the connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 .
[0057] Specifically, the first clip 32 is formed on the side surface of the nozzle assembly 3 facing the liquid storage assembly 2, and the third clip 25 is formed on the side surface of the liquid storage assembly 2 facing the nozzle assembly 3; in this way, the first clip 32 and the third clip 25 can be prevented from causing damage to other components of the electronic atomization device or affecting the installation of other components, and it is conducive to the miniaturization production of the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2, and the overall appearance of the electronic atomization device is more beautiful.
[0058] However, with the above arrangement, during the process of rotational connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2, the user cannot clearly see the relative positions of the first clip 32 and the third clip 25, that is, it is impossible to know whether the first clip 32 is exactly rotated to a position opposite to the third clip 25; in this way, it is easy for the first clip 32 and the third clip 25 to be staggered along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3, resulting in an unstable connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2; and the liquid outlet 21 and the liquid inlet 31 to be misaligned, resulting in leakage.
[0059] To this end, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 7 , the first clip 32 has a first end m and a second end n that are opposite to each other along its extension direction; the third clip 25 has a third end p and a fourth end q that are opposite to each other along its extension direction; the first end m of the first clip 32 rotates along the circumferential direction of the spray head assembly 3 toward the third clip 25, screws into the U-shaped groove 26 of the third clip 25, and is fixedly engaged with the third clip 25 along the axial direction Y of the main body 1. A stopper 32c is provided at one of the second end n and the fourth end q. The stopper 32c is located in the rotational path of the first clip 32 and is used to prevent the first clip 32 from continuing to rotate in the current rotational direction.
[0060] In this way, during the process of the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 being connected by rotation, the rotation angle of the nozzle assembly 3 along the preset direction can be limited by the limit block 32c, thereby avoiding the situation where the first clip 32 stops rotating before being completely screwed into the third clip 25 due to the rotation angle being too small; and avoiding the situation where the first clip 32 continues to rotate after being screwed into the U-shaped groove 26 of the third clip 25 due to the rotation angle being too large, and is staggered with the third clip 25, resulting in unstable connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 or leakage due to the misalignment of the liquid outlet 21 and the liquid inlet 31.
[0061] In one specific embodiment, as shown in FIG5 , a stopper 32 c is formed on the second end n of the first buckle 32. The stopper 32 c is configured to abut against the third end p of the third buckle 25 to prevent the first buckle 32 from rotating in the current direction. Specifically, referring to FIG5 , the stopper 32 c is formed on a side surface of the flange portion 32 b that faces the base body 34.
[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the limit block 32c can also be formed at the fourth end q of the third clip 25 and protrude toward the U-shaped groove 26 to be located in the rotation path of the first clip 32 and stop the first clip 32 from continuing to rotate in the current rotation direction.
[0063] In order to prevent the first buckle 32 from rotating in the opposite direction and becoming dislocated from or even detached from the third buckle 25 after the first buckle 32 and the third buckle 25 are engaged, thereby causing the nozzle assembly 3 to fall off the liquid storage assembly 2, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 6 and 8, one of the side surface of the first buckle 32 facing the third buckle 25 and the side surface of the third buckle 25 facing the first buckle 32 has a protrusion 25c, and the other surface has a groove 32d; the protrusion 25c is embedded in the groove 32d to fix the relative position of the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 along the circumferential direction of the liquid storage assembly 2.
[0064] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , the groove 32d is formed in the first buckle 32 near the first end m. Specifically, the groove 32d is formed on the side surface of the flange 32b facing the base body 34. As shown in Figure 8 , the protrusion 25c is formed in the third buckle 25 near the fourth end q.
[0065] During the rotational connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2, first insert the liquid outlet 21 of the liquid storage assembly 2 into the liquid inlet 31 of the nozzle assembly 3, then rotate clockwise to align and secure the first clip 32 with the third clip 25, and then limit the position with the stopper 32c. If the nozzle assembly 3 or the liquid storage assembly 2 needs to be replaced or repaired, just rotate in the opposite direction.
[0066] In one embodiment, in combination with Figures 5, 6 and 9, Figure 9 is a partial schematic diagram of the host provided in an embodiment of the present application; the nozzle assembly 3 also has a second buckle 33; the host 1 has a fourth buckle 11; the second buckle 33 rotates along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 to the position where the fourth buckle 11 is located, and is engaged with the fourth buckle 11.
[0067] Specifically, as shown in FIG5 or FIG6 , there are two second clips 33 , which are oppositely positioned on either side of the liquid inlet 31 , with one second clip 33 positioned on the surface of the first clip 32 facing away from the liquid inlet 31 ; a portion of the other second clip 33 protrudes away from the liquid inlet 31 . In this embodiment, there are also two fourth clips 11 , which are positioned one-to-one with the two second clips 33 ; the fourth clips 11 define a groove into which the second clips 33 rotate, thereby defining the relative position of the nozzle assembly 3 and the main body 1 along the axial direction Y of the main body 1 .
[0068] In order to prevent the second buckle 33 and the fourth buckle 11 from being rotated and connected, and the second buckle 33 and the fourth buckle 11 from being displaced relative to each other, causing the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 to fall off the main unit 1, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 10 and 11, Figure 10 is a partial schematic diagram of the nozzle assembly provided by one embodiment of the present application before being fully connected to the main unit; Figure 11 is a partial schematic diagram of the nozzle assembly provided by another embodiment of the present application before being fully connected to the main unit; one of the main unit 1 and the nozzle assembly 3 has a bead 12, and the other has a bead groove 41; the bead 12 rotates along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 to the position where the bead groove 41 is located, and is embedded in the bead groove 41 to fix the relative position of the main unit 1 and the nozzle assembly 3. It can be understood that when the bead 12 is embedded in the bead groove 41, it is rotated into place and does not need to be rotated further.
[0069] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 , the bead groove 41 is formed on the side surface of the nozzle assembly 3 facing the main body 1. As shown in Figure 11 , the bead 12 is formed on the side surface of the main body 1 facing the nozzle assembly 3.
[0070] Referring to Figures 12 to 14, Figures 12 and 13 are schematic diagrams of the assembly process of an electronic atomizer device; Figure 14 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the structure shown in Figure 13 according to one embodiment of the present application. During the specific assembly process, as shown in Figure 12, the nozzle assembly 3 is first rotationally connected to the liquid reservoir assembly 2. Then, as shown in Figure 13, the nozzle assembly 3 and liquid reservoir assembly 2 are inserted into the main unit 1 at a preset angle so that the second latch 33 and the fourth latch 11 are offset. This facilitates the rotational connection of the second latch 33 and the fourth latch 11. The specific size of the preset angle can be determined based on the actual design. After the nozzle assembly 3 is inserted into the main unit 1 at the preset angle, the relative position of the second latch 33 and the fourth latch 11 can be seen in Figure 14. Then, as shown in Figure 14, the nozzle assembly 3 is rotated in a preset direction S so that the second latch 33 and the fourth latch 11 are aligned along the axial direction Y of the main unit 1 and the retaining bead 12 is inserted into the retaining bead groove 41, thereby achieving the rotational connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the main unit 1. The structure of the nozzle assembly 3 after being connected to the host 1 can be seen in FIG1a.
[0071] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 1b, 2, and 15, Figure 15 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the electronic atomization device shown in Figure 1a; the main unit 1 also includes an electronic control system 13, an air pump 14, and an air pipe connector 15 connected in sequence to the air pump 14. The electronic control system 13 is used to control the normal operation of the entire electronic atomization device. The air pump 14 is used to provide high-pressure gas. The nozzle assembly 3 also includes a nozzle 35, a gas sealing assembly 36, a liquid outlet sealing assembly 37, an air channel 38, a gas interface 39, and a liquid channel 40. One end of the air channel 38 is connected to the nozzle 35, and the other end of the air channel 38 is connected to the gas interface 39. The gas interface 39 is used to connect to the air pipe connector 15 connected to the main unit 1, and is used to deliver the high-pressure gas provided by the air pump 14 to the nozzle 35. The liquid channel 40 forms a liquid inlet 31, and is respectively connected to the liquid inlet 31 and the nozzle 35 of the liquid storage assembly 2, and is used to deliver the atomized medium in the liquid storage assembly 2 to the nozzle 35. The high-pressure gas flows from the air pump 14 through the air pipe connector 15 and the gas interface 39, then enters the air passage 38. Finally, it interacts with the atomizing medium in the nozzle 35 to form an aerosol. The gas sealing assembly 36 is used to seal the air passage 38, and the liquid outlet sealing assembly 37 is used to seal the liquid inlet.
[0072] As shown in Figure 16, which is a transverse cross-sectional view of the structure shown in Figure 13 according to another embodiment of the present application, when the nozzle assembly 3 is inserted into the main unit 1 and not rotated, the gas interface 39 is disconnected from the air pipe connector 15. After being rotated a certain angle and the second clip 33 is fixedly engaged with the fourth clip 11, as shown in Figure 15, the gas interface 39 also rotates into the air pipe connector 15 of the main unit 1 to supply air to the nozzle 35.
[0073] The electronic atomization device provided in this embodiment is provided with a first clip 32 and / or a second clip 33 on the nozzle assembly 3, so that the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2 are detachably connected by rotating the first clip 32 along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 until they are engaged with the liquid storage assembly 2; and the second clip 33 is rotated along the circumferential direction of the nozzle assembly 3 until they are engaged with the host 1, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the nozzle assembly 3 and the host 1. In this way, it is convenient to replace or regularly repair the host 1, the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage assembly 2; and when atomizing medium remains in the nozzle assembly 3, causing the nozzle 35 to be clogged or the residual atomizing medium to deteriorate, only the nozzle assembly 3 can be replaced or repaired without replacing the host 1 and / or the liquid storage assembly 2, which will not damage the liquid storage assembly 2 and / or the host 1, thereby solving the problem of atomizing medium remaining in the nozzle assembly 3 causing the nozzle 35 to be clogged and the atomizing medium to deteriorate. At the same time, the first buckle 32 is aligned with the corresponding position of the liquid storage component 2 in a rotating manner, and the two are snapped together; and the second buckle 33 is aligned with the corresponding position of the host 1, and the two are snapped together; the first buckle 32 can be smoothly transitioned to the corresponding snapping position of the liquid storage component 2, or the second buckle 33 can be smoothly transitioned to the corresponding snapping position of the host 1. Compared with the solution that requires a large external force to directly snap the first buckle 32 of the nozzle assembly 3 to the liquid storage component 2 along the axial direction Y of the liquid storage component 2, and the second buckle 33 to the host 1 along the axial direction Y of the host 1, the risk of damage to the first buckle 32, the second buckle 33 and the corresponding buckles on the liquid storage component 2 and the host 1 during the snapping process is reduced; and compared with the threaded screw connection method, the screwing path can be shortened, thereby realizing quick installation and replacement of the host 1, the nozzle assembly 3 and the liquid storage component 2.
[0074] The above is only an implementation method of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure 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 patent protection scope of the present application.
