Description

Three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic atomization, and in particular to a three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device. Background Art

[0002] While e-vapor products currently available in a wide variety of flavors are available, aerosols rarely provide the authentic experience consumers seek. In recent years, heat-not-burn (HNB) products have emerged as offering consumers a superior experience compared to traditional e-vapor products. Both HNB and e-vapor products reduce the intake of harmful substances like tar, and they also produce no ash, making them environmentally friendly. However, both standalone e-vapor and HNB products have drawbacks. While e-vapor products offer a wide variety of flavors, they often have a poorer taste experience. While HNB products offer a better taste, they can also produce low vapor volumes. Furthermore, both types of products require specialized electronic devices for use. For consumers seeking the combined experience of both, they would need to purchase two separate devices, resulting in wasteful purchases. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 12:

[0047] FIG1 shows a three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 in one embodiment of the present invention. The three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 includes a conversion mechanism 10, a housing 20, a heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30, and a steam atomization generating device 40. The heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 and the steam atomization generating device 40 can be fixedly or replaceably mounted on the housing 20. The conversion mechanism 10 is fixedly mounted within the housing 20, and cooperates with the steam atomization generating device 40, the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30, and the housing 20, respectively. By virtue of the conversion mechanism 10 being in different positions, the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 can select, as needed, either a single mode of inhaling a heat-not-burn product 2 or a simultaneous mode of inhaling a heat-not-burn and electronic vapor atomization mixed product.

[0048] 6 , the shell 20 defines a heat-not-burn atomization generating device accommodating space 23, a steam atomization generating device accommodating space 24, and a conversion mechanism accommodating space 25. The heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 is disposed in the heat-not-burn atomization generating device accommodating space 23, the steam atomization generating device 40 is disposed in the steam atomization generating device accommodating space 24, and the conversion mechanism 10 is disposed in the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25.

[0049] In this embodiment, the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25 is located between the heat-not-burn atomizing device accommodating space 23 and the steam atomizing device accommodating space 24, so that the conversion mechanism 10 is located between the heat-not-burn atomizing device 30 and the steam atomizing device 40. The housing 20 also has a first vent 26, through which the heat-not-burn atomizing device accommodating space 23 and the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25 communicate. The conversion mechanism accommodating space 25 is also connected to the steam atomizing device accommodating space 24.

[0050] In some embodiments, the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 also includes a connecting member 50, which is in the shape of a hollow cylinder with one end through and the other end closed, and is arranged between the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25 and the steam atomization generating device accommodating space 24, and is formed with a second air vent 51. The second air vent 51 connects the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25 with the steam atomization generating device accommodating space 24, and also positions the conversion mechanism 10 axially in the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25.

[0051] In some embodiments, the housing 20 is further formed with a fourth air inlet 21, which connects the space outside the housing 20 with the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25. The conversion mechanism 10 can control the operating state of the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 by switching its own state and coordinating the opening and closing of the fourth air inlet 21. It will be appreciated that the conversion mechanism 10 can be applied to three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating devices 1 of various structural forms.

[0052] As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the conversion mechanism 10 includes a first component 11, a second component 12, and a control member 14. The first component 11 is provided with at least one first air inlet 111 and at least one first air outlet 112, which are interconnected. The second component 12 is provided with at least one second air outlet 1211 and at least one second air inlet 1221, which are interconnected.

[0053] The second member 12 is sleeved around the first member 11, and the first and second members 11 and 12 are capable of reciprocating relative to each other between a first state and a second state. In this embodiment, the second member 12 is driven to reciprocate relative to the first member 11 between the first state and the second state by operating the control member 14. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the relative position of the first and second members can also be changed by operating the first member.

[0054] When the second component 12 and the first component 11 are relative to each other in the first state, the first air inlet 111, the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 1211 are connected to form a first air flow channel 15 (shown in Figure 7), and the fourth air inlet 21 and the second air inlet 1221 are cut off, so that the aerosol flow generated by the atomization unit in the atomization generating device 40 and the aerosol generated by the heat-not-burn product 2 are mixed and released;.

[0055] When the second member 12 and the first member 11 are in the second position relative to each other, the fourth air inlet 21, the second air inlet 1221, and the second air outlet 1211 are connected to form a second airflow channel 16 (shown in FIG. 10 ). Simultaneously, the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 1211 are disconnected, thereby heating the heat-not-burn product 2 contained in the heat-not-burn atomization device 30 and releasing an aerosol. The control member 14 is operable to control the second member 12 to rotate back and forth between the first and second positions to control the opening and closing of the first airflow channel 15 and the second airflow channel 16.

[0056] As shown in Figures 4 and 5 , the first component 11 is hollow and cylindrical, with one end closed and the other open. The hollow chamber of the first component 11 connects to the open end, forming a first air inlet 111. This first air inlet 111 is connected to the air outlet 41 of the steam atomization device 40 via the second air vent 51. The aerosol generated by the steam atomization device 40 enters the first air flow channel 15 through the first air inlet 111 and is then inhaled by the user.

[0057] The first air outlet 112 is formed through the side wall of the first component 11 and communicates with the first air inlet 111 through the hollow chamber of the first component 11 . Aerosol can flow out of the first component 11 through the first air outlet 112 .

[0058] In this embodiment, there are two first air outlet holes 112, which are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the first component 11 to disperse the aerosol. Of course, the position and number of the first air outlet holes can be set according to actual needs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the upper end surface of the first component 11 is also recessed downward to form a positioning groove 113, and the shell 20 is also provided with a positioning portion 27 at a corresponding position. The positioning portion 27 is accommodated in the positioning groove 113, so that the conversion mechanism 10 can be positioned circumferentially in the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25, and the conversion mechanism 10 is clamped between the positioning portion 27 and the connecting member 50, and is positioned in the conversion mechanism accommodating space 25 both axially and circumferentially.

[0060] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the second member 12 is hollow and cylindrical, comprising a top wall 121, side walls 122, and a bottom wall 123. Both the top wall 121 and the bottom wall 123 have axially extending openings therethrough, allowing the first member 11 to be securely mounted therein. The side wall 122 is cylindrical and connects the top wall 121 and the bottom wall 123. The first member 11 is disposed within the openings of the top wall 121 and the bottom wall 123.

[0061] Referring to Figures 5 and 10 together, the second air inlet 1221 can be connected to the fourth air inlet 21 in the second state, and the second air outlet 1211 is connected to the heating non-combustion atomization generating device accommodating space 23 through the first air vent 26, so that the gas flowing out of the second air outlet 1211 enters the heating non-combustion atomization generating device 30 located in the heating non-combustion atomization generating device accommodating space 23.

[0062] A cavity 124 is formed between the inner wall surface of the side wall 122 and the outer wall surface of the first component 11, and the second air inlet 1221 and the second air outlet 1211 are respectively connected to the cavity 124, so that in the second state, external gas can enter the heating non-combustion atomization generating device accommodating space 23 through the fourth air inlet 21, the second air inlet 1221, the cavity 124, the second air outlet 1211, and the first air vent 26 in sequence.

[0063] 4 and 7 , the first air outlet 112 is also connected to the cavity 124 , so that in the first state, the first air outlet 112 can be connected to the second air outlet 1211 , and the aerosol flowing out of the first air outlet 112 can pass through the cavity 124 , the second air outlet 1211 , and the first air vent 26 in sequence into the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 in the heat-not-burn atomization generating device accommodating space 23 , and form a mixed aerosol with the aerosol generated by the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 .

[0064] Furthermore, as shown in FIG2 , at least one barrier portion 1222 is protruded from the inner sidewall of the sidewall 122. The barrier portion 1222 is positioned in contact with the first component 11 and, when the second component 12 rotates, opens or blocks the first air outlet 112, thereby placing the conversion mechanism 10 in either the first or second state. When the conversion mechanism 10 is in the first state, the first air outlet 112 is offset from the barrier portion 1222 and communicates with the cavity (as shown in FIG9 ). When the conversion mechanism 10 is in the second state, the first air outlet 112 is blocked by the barrier portion 1222, isolating the first air outlet 112 from the cavity 124 (as shown in FIG12 ).

[0065] The number of the blocking portions 1222 is consistent with the number of the first air outlet holes 112 . In this embodiment, there are two blocking portions 1222 symmetrically disposed on the inner wall surface of the side wall 122 .

[0066] The control member 14 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the second member 12 to facilitate operation of the second member 12 so that the second member 12 reciprocates relative to the first member 11 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0067] In this embodiment, there is one second air inlet 1221, which extends through the side wall 122. There are multiple second air outlets 1211, which are evenly spaced and extend axially through the top wall 121 and communicate with the air inlet of the heat-not-burn atomization device 30. This allows the gas flowing out of the first air outlet 112 or the second air inlet 1221 to flow evenly from the multiple second air outlets 1211 to the heat-not-burn atomization device 30, thereby reducing the draw resistance and maintaining a good taste. Of course, the position and number of the second air inlet and second air outlet can be set according to actual needs.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conversion mechanism 10 further includes a third component 13. The third component 13 is cylindrical, sleeved around the second component 12, and rotates along with the second component 12.

[0069] The third member 13 is provided with an assembly hole 132 and at least one third air inlet hole 131. This third air inlet hole 131 corresponds to the second air inlet hole 1221, and in this embodiment, there is only one. The control member 14 is disposed within the assembly hole 132 to maintain relative fixation with the second and third members 12, 13. By toggling the control member 14, the second and third members 12, 13 are synchronously rotated back and forth between the first and second positions, thereby achieving relative rotation with the first member 11.

[0070] Since the third component 13 rotates together with the second component 12, the third air inlet hole 131 and the second air inlet hole 1221 are always in a state of mutual communication. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, the communication relationship between the third air inlet hole 131 and the fourth air inlet hole 21 is the same as the communication relationship between the fourth air inlet hole 21 and the second air inlet hole 1221.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second member 12 is made of an elastic material to facilitate rotation while providing a good sealing effect. When in the second state, the barrier portion 1222 can better seal the first air outlet 112. The third member 13 is made of a rigid material and serves as an outer support for the second member 12.

[0072] It should be understood that the second component 12 and the third component 13 can be combined into one integral part, or the third component 13 can be omitted, and the control component 14 can be directly fixedly connected to the second component 12 .

[0073] In some embodiments, the heat-not-burn atomizer 30 can be positioned on the outlet side of the conversion mechanism 10 and, through various existing heating structures, heat the heat-not-burn product 2 to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. The steam atomizer 40 can be positioned on the inlet side of the conversion mechanism 10 and, through existing heating atomizer structures, heat the e-liquid or the like to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. Of course, the specific structures and locations of the heat-not-burn atomizer 30 and the steam atomizer 40 can be configured according to actual needs.

[0074] As shown in Figures 7 and 10, the conversion mechanism 10 is disposed on one side of a housing 20, which is further provided with a receiving groove 22. Referring also to Figure 2, the control member 14 is received in the receiving groove 22 and is movable back and forth within the receiving groove 22 to control the second member 12 to rotate back and forth between the first state and the second state.

[0075] The air outlet 41 of the steam atomization generating device 40 is connected to the air inlet end of the first air flow channel 15, so that when the first air flow channel 15 is open, the aerosol generated by the steam atomization generating device 40 is output to the first air flow channel 15. The air inlet end of the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 is respectively connected to the air outlet ends of the first air flow channel 15 and the second air flow channel 16. The first air flow channel 15 and the second air flow channel 16 are opened and closed by the conversion mechanism 10 to adjust the airflow flowing into the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 to be a normal airflow or an aerosol, thereby converting between two states / three situations: smoking the heat-not-burn product 2 alone and smoking a mixed heat-not-burn and electronic atomization product at the same time.

[0076] It should be understood that, in the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 constructed in this embodiment, the steam atomization generating device 40 is detachably or detachably installed in the housing 20 .

[0077] The heating method of the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 includes but is not limited to air heating, electromagnetic heating, central heating or circumferential heating, and any combination of the aforementioned heating methods; the atomization method of the steam atomization generating device 40 includes but is not limited to resistance wire atomization, ultrasonic atomization, and any combination of the aforementioned methods.

[0078] In some embodiments, the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 further includes components such as a circuit board and a battery, and the circuit board, the battery and other components are all disposed in the housing 20 .

[0079] The three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 can form three operating conditions in the first state and the second state, and the so-called "three-in-one" means that three operating conditions can be achieved by a three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1. The three operating conditions formed by the two states will be explained one by one below:

[0080] As shown in FIG7 , when the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 is in the first state (i.e., the first operating condition), the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 and the steam atomization generating device 40 are both in the operating mode. At this time, the heat-not-burn product 2 and the electronic atomization product can be mixed and inhaled. The position of the control member 14 within the accommodating groove 22 causes the second component 12 and the third component 13 to be in a position where the first airflow channel 15 is open and the second airflow channel 16 is closed. Referring to FIG8 and FIG9 together, at this time, outside air enters the steam atomization generating device 40 and generates an aerosol. The aerosol enters the first airflow channel 15 sequentially through the second vent 51 and the first air inlet 111, and then flows into the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 through the second air outlet 1211 and the first vent 26. It mixes with the aerosol generated by the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 to form a mixed aerosol that flows out, completing the inhalation.

[0081] When the three-in-one hybrid aerosol generating device 1 is in the second state, only the heat-not-burn atomizing device 30 is in the working mode. At this time, the heat-not-burn product 2 can be smoked alone. There are two working conditions in this second state:

[0082] As shown in FIG10 , in the first working condition (i.e., the second operating condition), the steam atomization generating device 40 is located within the housing 20 but is not in working mode. The position of the control member 14 within the accommodating groove 22 causes the second component 12 and the third component 13 to be in a position where the first airflow channel 15 is closed and the second airflow channel 16 is open. Referring to FIG11 and FIG12 together, at this time, the outside air enters the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 through the fourth air inlet 21, the third air inlet 131, the second air inlet 1221, the cavity 124, the second air outlet 1211, and the first air vent 26 (i.e., the second airflow channel 16) in sequence, carrying away the aerosol generated by the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 when heating the heat-not-burn product 2, completing the inhalation.

[0083] In the second operating condition (i.e., the third operating condition), the steam atomization device 40 in the housing 20 is removed, or no electronic atomization product is placed inside the steam atomization device 20. The position of the control member 14 within the accommodating groove 22 causes the second component 12 and the third component 13 to be in a position where the first airflow channel 15 is closed and the second airflow channel 16 is open. At this time, external air enters the heat-not-burn atomization device 30 through the fourth air inlet 21, the third air inlet 131, the second air inlet 1221, the cavity 124, the second air outlet 1211, and the first air vent 26 (i.e., the second airflow channel 16), carrying away the aerosol generated by the heat-not-burn atomization device 30 when heating the heat-not-burn product 2, completing the inhalation.

[0084] In some embodiments, under the second working condition, the conversion mechanism 10 can also be placed in a position where the first airflow channel 15 is turned on and the second airflow channel 16 is turned off, so that the outside air enters the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 through the first airflow channel 15, and takes away the aerosol generated by the heat-not-burn atomization generating device 30 when heating the heat-not-burn product 2, thereby completing the inhalation.

[0085] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of coverage of the claims of the present invention.
