Detailed Implementation

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an atomizing component 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4, the atomizing component 100 may include a heating element 110, a first electrode lead 121A, and a second electrode lead 122A. The heating element 110 is used to heat and atomize the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol. One end of the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A are connected to the heating element 110, and the other end is used to connect the positive electrode and the negative electrode, respectively, so as to make the heating element 110 conductive. The cross-sections of the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A are configured to have a first width dimension along a first direction as shown in Figure 4, and a second width dimension in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction as shown in Figure 4, and the first width dimension is greater than the second width dimension.

[0050] It is understood that, in this embodiment, since the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A in the atomizing component 100 are flat and have a first width dimension and a second width dimension in their cross-section, the flat leads are easy to be clamped and positioned by automated equipment or fixtures when the atomizing component 100 is assembled, and are easier to twist or bend in a predetermined second direction, which facilitates the operation of automated equipment and solves the problem that round leads cannot be bent by automated equipment, thus helping to improve production efficiency.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the specific shape of the cross-section of the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A is not limited. For example, it can also be a regular polygon, preferably with a rectangular cross-section. This reduces the bending direction of the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A, thereby further improving the production efficiency of the atomizing component 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-4, at least a portion of the first electrode lead 121A or at least a portion of the second electrode lead 122A is configured to be twisted or bent toward a second direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 1-4. The first electrode lead 121A may include a first side surface 123A with a first width dimension, and the second electrode lead 122A may include a first side surface 123B with a first width dimension. At the same time, the first electrode lead 121A may include a second side surface 124A with a second width dimension, and the second electrode lead 122A may include a second side surface 124B with a second width dimension. The first side surface 123A and the second side surface 124A of the first electrode lead 121A are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first side surface 123B and the second side surface 124B of the second electrode lead 122A are arranged adjacent to each other. At the same time, the first side surface 123A of the first electrode lead 121A and the first side surface 123B of the second electrode lead 122A are at least partially exposed to serve as electrode contact surfaces, thereby increasing the contact area between the electrode post and the electrode lead to further improve the contact conductivity of the electrode post.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG2, in the unfolded state, the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A extend substantially parallel to each other, and the heating element 110 is connected between the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first electrode lead 121A, the second electrode lead 122A and the heating element 110 can be integrally punched or etched from an integral metal sheet. Compared with the prior art where the electrode lead and the heating element are connected by welding, this not only further improves the production efficiency of the atomizing component 100 and reduces the production cost of the atomizing component 100, but also avoids the precipitation of metal substances caused by the welding process.

[0055] In a further embodiment, as shown in FIG5, when the first electrode lead 121A, the second electrode lead 122A and the heating element 110 are integrally punched or etched from an integral metal sheet, the thickness of the metal sheet used to make the heating element 110 is generally 0.05mm-0.15mm. Since the thickness of the metal sheet used to make the heating element 110 is very thin, the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A in this embodiment can be formed by folding at least two layers of sheet structure to enhance the overall strength of the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-3, the atomizing assembly 100 includes a hollow liquid guiding component 150. The liquid guiding component 150 may include a first inner surface 151, a first bottom surface 152, and a first outer surface 153 that are interconnected. The heating element 110 is disposed on the first inner surface 151. The first electrode lead 121A includes a first connecting segment 1211A and a second connecting segment 1212A that are interconnected, and the second electrode lead 122A includes a fourth connecting segment 1221A and a fifth connecting segment 1222A that are interconnected. Both the first connecting segment 1211A and the fourth connecting segment 1221A are disposed on the first inner surface 151 and are connected to the heating element 110. Both the connecting segment 1212A and the fifth connecting segment 1222A are disposed on the first bottom surface 152, thereby further optimizing the space occupied by the first electrode lead 121A and the second electrode lead 122A by bending them; at the same time, the atomizing component 100 may also include a first electrode post 141A and a second electrode post 142A, wherein the first electrode post 141A and the second electrode post 142A are both disposed on the first bottom surface 152, and the first electrode post 141A contacts the second connecting segment 1212A, and the second electrode post 142A contacts the fifth connecting segment 1222A, thereby achieving the purpose of making the heating element 110 conductive.

[0057] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG6, the first electrode lead 121B may include a first connecting segment 1211B, a second connecting segment 1212B, and a third connecting segment 1213B connected to each other, and the second electrode lead 122B includes a fourth connecting segment 1221B, a fifth connecting segment 1222B, and a sixth connecting segment 1223B connected to each other. The first connecting segment 1211B and the fourth connecting segment 1221B are both disposed on the first inner surface 151 and are both connected to the heating element 110. The second connecting segment 1212B and the fifth connecting segment 1223B are connected to each other. Segment 1222B is disposed on the first bottom surface 152, and the third connecting segment 1213B and the sixth connecting segment 1223B are disposed on the first outer surface 153. Meanwhile, the atomizing component 100 may also include a first electrode post 141B and a second electrode post 142B. The first electrode post 141B and the second electrode post 142B are both disposed on the first outer surface 153, and the first electrode post 141B contacts the third connecting segment 1213B, and the second electrode post 142B contacts the sixth connecting segment 1223B, thereby achieving the purpose of making the heating element 110 conductive.

[0058] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the liquid guiding component 150 can be a microporous medium with capillary effect. The microporous medium can be molded into an integral structure with the heating element 110, the first electrode lead 121 (121A or 121B) and the second electrode lead 122 (122A or 122B). As a suitable alternative example, the microporous medium can be made of materials such as microporous ceramics or microporous glass. For example, during the molding process of the atomizing component 100, the heating element 110, the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 can be fixed in the mold in advance, and then the slurry of the microporous ceramic can be injected into the mold. The liquid guiding component 150 can be molded around the heating element 110 by curing and sintering, thereby further improving the production efficiency of the atomizing component 100.

[0059] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 6. In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the first outer surface 153 can be provided with a first plane 1531 corresponding to the third connecting segment 1213B, and a second plane 1532 can be provided corresponding to the sixth connecting segment 1223B. The third connecting segment 1213B is attached to the first plane 1531, and the sixth connecting segment 1223B is attached to the second plane 1532. This allows the first plane 1531 to support the third connecting segment 1213B and the second plane 1532 to support the sixth connecting segment 1223B during the sintering process of the ceramic liquid guiding component 150. This achieves the purpose of supporting the first electrode lead 121B and the second electrode lead 122B, thereby preventing the first electrode lead 121B and the second electrode lead 122B from bending during the sintering process.

[0060] This application also provides an electronic atomizing device 200. Please refer to Figures 7 and 8. The electronic atomizing device 200 may include a housing 210 and an atomizing component 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The housing 210 may include a liquid storage chamber 211 and an atomizing chamber 212. The liquid storage chamber 211 is used to store a liquid matrix, and the atomizing component 100 is used to receive the liquid matrix from the liquid storage chamber 211 and atomize it to generate an aerosol.

[0061] In some embodiments provided in this application, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the atomizing assembly 100 includes a support tube 160, a liquid guide 150 retained inside the support tube 160, and a heating assembly. The heating assembly includes a heating element 110, a first electrode lead 121C, and a second electrode lead 122C. The heating element 110 is configured as a mesh or grid with multiple perforations. The heating element 110 can be rolled into a cylindrical shape and bound to the inner surface of the liquid guide 150. The first electrode lead 121C and the second electrode lead 122C are close to each other but do not contact each other; that is, the liquid guide 150 surrounds the heating element 110 and a portion of the first electrode lead 121C and a portion of the second electrode lead 122C, and forms a central channel for releasing aerosols inside. As an optional suitable example, the liquid guide 150 is a flexible fibrous material, which is advantageous for installation inside the support tube 160. For example, the liquid guide 150 can be fiber cotton, non-woven fabric, and high-temperature resistant synthetic fibers, sponges, and other fibrous materials.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8-10, the electronic atomizing device 200 may further include a fixing member 130, wherein a liquid guiding member 150 is located between a support tube 160 and a heating element 110, the support tube 160 is fixed to the fixing member 130, and the support tube 160 has a through hole 161 for transmitting liquid matrix to the liquid guiding member 150; at the same time, a portion of the first electrode lead 121C and / or a portion of the second electrode lead 122C are attached to the surface of the fixing member 130.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the fixing member 130 may include a second inner surface 131, a second bottom surface 132, and a second outer surface 133 that are interconnected. The first electrode lead 121C includes a first connecting segment 1211C, a second connecting segment 1212C, and a third connecting segment 1213C that are interconnected. The second electrode lead 122C includes a fourth connecting segment 1221C, a fifth connecting segment 1222C, and a sixth connecting segment 1223C that are interconnected. The first connecting segment 1211C and the fourth connecting segment 1221C are both disposed on the second inner surface 131 and are both connected to the heating element 110. The second connecting segment 1212C and the fifth connecting segment 1222C are both disposed on the second bottom surface 132. The third connecting segment 1213C and the sixth connecting segment 1223C are both disposed on the second outer surface 133, thereby achieving the purpose of attaching the first electrode lead 121C and the second electrode lead 122C to the fixing member 130 and forming a bent shape.

[0064] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the first electrode lead 121C and the second electrode lead 122C are attached to the outer surface of the fixing member 130 and are bent. This not only further optimizes the space occupied by the first electrode lead 121C and the second electrode lead 122C, but also further improves the installation strength of the first electrode lead 121C and the second electrode lead 122C by attaching them to the outer surface of the fixing member 130.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11, the electronic atomizing device 200 may further include a first electrode post 141C and a second electrode post 142C. Meanwhile, the fixing member 130 has a groove or hole for accommodating a portion of the first electrode lead 121C or a portion of the second electrode lead 122C. The first electrode post 141C or the second electrode post 142C can be inserted into the groove or hole, so that while achieving contact with the first electrode lead 121C or the second electrode lead 122C, the groove or hole in the fixing member 130 can also achieve a limiting effect on the first electrode post 141C or the second electrode post 142C.

[0066] Specifically, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG11, the second bottom surface 132 is formed with a first groove 1321 and a second groove 1322, and the second outer surface 133 is formed with a third groove 1331 and a fourth groove 1332.

At the same time, in this embodiment, the first electrode post 141C or the second electrode post 142C can also be inserted into the first groove 1321 and the second groove 1322.

[0067] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG12, the first electrode post 141D and the second electrode post 142D can both be disposed on the second outer surface 133, wherein the first electrode post 141D is connected to the third connecting segment 1213D and the second electrode post 142D is connected to the sixth connecting segment 1223D, so as to achieve the purpose of making the heating element 110 conductive.

In this embodiment, the fixing member 130 is provided with a receiving cavity 15 and a snap-fit ​​groove 14 communicating with the receiving cavity 15. The receiving cavity 15 is used to receive at least a part of the electrode post 140, and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 is used to receive a part of the first electrode lead 121 or a part of the second electrode lead 122, and provides guidance so that the first electrode lead 121 or the second electrode lead 122 crosses the receiving cavity 15.

[0071] It is understood that in this embodiment, when the atomizing component 100 needs to be continuously switched to different workstations for different processing procedures, the first electrode lead 121 or the second electrode lead 122 can be locked in the locking groove 14. At this time, the locking groove 14 can accommodate and fix part of the first electrode lead 121 or part of the second electrode lead 122, thereby protecting the first electrode lead 121 or part of the second electrode lead 122 from breakage or water damage during the processing. It can also ensure that the atomizing component 100 will not experience the problem of the first electrode lead 121 or part of the second electrode lead 122 becoming loose or out of position during the switching process, further improving the assembly efficiency of the atomizing component 100.

[0072] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since a notch is provided on the side of the fixing member 130, the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 can be guided through this notch and installed into the corresponding receiving cavity 15. Because no manual alignment of the leads with the receiving cavity 15 is required, the assembly operation can be completed by automated machinery, achieving automated operation, convenience, and saving time and effort. Simultaneously, it is understood that during the mass production of the atomizing assembly 100, a snap-fit ​​groove 14 can also be provided at the fixed position of each fixing member 130, thereby further enhancing the consistency of the mass production of the atomizing assembly 100.

[0073] It should be noted that the specific number of snap-fit ​​slots 14 is not limited in this embodiment. For example, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 14 can be two, that is, it can be the first snap-fit ​​slot 1111 and the second snap-fit ​​slot 1112 as shown in Figures 15 and 16. The first snap-fit ​​slot 1111 and the second snap-fit ​​slot 1112 are respectively used to accommodate and snap-fit ​​a portion of the first electrode lead 121 and a portion of the second electrode lead 122. In one embodiment of this application, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 14 can be one, and the snap-fit ​​slot 14 includes the first snap-fit ​​slot 1111, the first electrode lead 121 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​slot 1111, and the second electrode lead 122 is led out in a conventional manner. Alternatively, in one embodiment of this application, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 14 can be one, and the snap-fit ​​slot 14 includes the second snap-fit ​​slot 1112, the second electrode lead 122 is snapped into the second snap-fit ​​slot 1112, and the first electrode lead 121 is led out in a conventional manner.

[0074] In some embodiments, the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 on the side near the receiving cavity 15 is greater than the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 on the side away from the receiving cavity 15. This allows the wider opening of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 to guide the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 during the snap-fit ​​process, making it easier for them to be snapped into place. In further embodiments, the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 can be greater than the width or diameter of the first electrode lead 121, thus providing guidance without restriction. When the electrode post 140 is inserted into the receiving cavity 15, the first electrode lead 121 within the snap-fit ​​groove 14 can retract into the receiving cavity 15, abutting against the surface of the electrode post 140. It is understood that the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 can also be greater than the width or diameter of the second electrode lead 122, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the fixing member 130 may be hollow, and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 is formed on the side of the fixing member 130 away from the atomizing element 120. The hollow fixing member 130 is used to hold the atomizing element 120.

[0076] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, the receiving cavity 15 is a groove or hole extending along the insertion direction of the electrode post 140, thereby making it easier to install the electrode post 140 into the receiving cavity 15. Specifically, referring to Figures 15 and 16, the receiving cavity 15 can be a third hole 1501 and a fourth hole 1502 extending along the insertion direction of the electrode post 140, wherein the third hole 1501 is used to accommodate a portion of the first electrode post 141, and the fourth hole 1502 is used to accommodate a portion of the second electrode post 142; in other embodiments, the receiving cavity 15 can be a first groove and a second groove extending along the insertion direction of the electrode post 140 (it should be noted that the depth of the first groove and the second groove is less than the depth of the third hole 1501 and the fourth hole 1502, respectively). At the same time, the first groove can also be used to accommodate a portion of the first electrode post 141, and the second groove can also be used to accommodate a portion of the second electrode post 142.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG16, the atomizing assembly 100 may further include a first electrode post 141 and a second electrode post 142. The first electrode post 141 is inserted into the first receiving cavity 1113 and electrically connected to the first electrode lead 121. Simultaneously, the second electrode post 142 may be inserted into the second receiving cavity 1114 and electrically connected to the second electrode lead 122. Thus, while achieving the purpose of energizing the atomizing element 120, the first receiving cavity 1113 and the second receiving cavity 1114 respectively can accommodate the first electrode post 141 and the second electrode post 142, thereby optimizing the overall volume of the atomizing assembly 100. The first receiving cavity 1113 and the second receiving cavity 114 constitute the receiving cavity 15.

[0078] As can be understood by referring to Figures 15 and 16, in this embodiment, when installing the first electrode post 141, the first electrode post 141 can be inserted into the first receiving cavity 1113. At this time, the bottom surface of the first electrode post 141 will contact the first electrode lead 121 and drive the first electrode lead 121 to move, so that the first electrode lead 121 is fixed in the first receiving cavity 1113. When the bottom surface of the first electrode post 141 abuts against the bottom surface of the first receiving cavity 1113, part of the first electrode lead 121 is located between the bottom surface of the first electrode post 141 and the bottom surface of the first receiving cavity 1113, and at this time the first electrode lead 121 can contact the first electrode post 141 to achieve electrical connection. It should be noted that the installation process of the second electrode post 142 is similar to that of the first electrode post 141, and the description of the installation process of the second electrode post 142 is omitted here.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the fixing member 130 may include a first annular member 111 and a second annular member 112 connected to each other. The first annular member 111 may be disposed within the second annular member 112, and the atomizing element 120 may be disposed within the second annular member 112 to realize the corresponding heating atomization function. The first snap-fit ​​groove 1111 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 1112 are formed on the side of the first annular member 111 away from the second annular member 112.

[0080] In one embodiment of this application, as shown in FIG15, the snap-fit ​​groove 14 laterally connects to the receiving cavity 15, and the groove depth of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 is approximately the same as the depth of the receiving cavity 15. This makes the installation of the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 smoother and reduces wear on the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 at the connection between the snap-fit ​​groove 14 and the receiving cavity 15. It is understood that the groove depth of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 and the depth of the receiving cavity 15 refer to the lengths of the snap-fit ​​groove 14 and the receiving cavity 15 in the axial direction of the fastener 130.

[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG15, the fixing member 130 is further formed with a guide groove 16 for guiding a portion of the first electrode lead 121 and a portion of the second electrode lead 122, the guide groove 16 also communicating with the receiving cavity 15 or the guide groove 16 extending across the opening of the receiving cavity 15.

[0082] Furthermore, please continue to refer to Figure 15. In the above embodiment, the guide groove 16 connects the inner and outer sides of the fixing member 130 and the bottom surface of the guide groove is inclined to achieve a better guiding effect for the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122.

[0083] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the guide groove 16 may include a first guide groove 1115 and a second guide groove 1116. The first guide groove 1115 and the second guide groove 1116 are formed between the first annular member 111 and the second annular member 112. The bottom surfaces of the first guide groove 1115 and the second guide groove 1116 are both inclined. The first guide groove 1115 is connected to the first receiving cavity 1113, and the second guide groove 1116 is connected to the second receiving cavity 1114. Thus, the first guide groove 1115 is used to guide and position the first electrode lead 121, and the second guide groove 1116 is used to guide and position the second electrode lead 122, so that the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 can be more easily engaged in the first engaging groove 1111 and the second engaging groove 1112, respectively.

[0084] In one embodiment of this application, the connection between the guide groove 16 and the receiving cavity 15 is an arc surface. Specifically, in other embodiments of this application, the connection between the first guide groove 1115 and the first receiving cavity 1113 is an arc surface, and the connection between the second guide groove 1116 and the second receiving cavity 1114 is an arc surface. This allows for further reduction of wear on the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122 when dragging the first electrode lead 121 to the first snap-fit ​​groove 1111 and the second electrode lead 122 to the second snap-fit ​​groove 1112, thereby extending the service life of the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122. In addition, in another embodiment of this application, the first annular member 111 and the second annular member 112 can be integrally formed, thereby further ensuring the overall physical strength of the atomizing component 100.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17-19, the atomizing element 120 may include a liquid guide 150 for conducting a liquid matrix and a heating element 110 for heating the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol. An atomizing channel 1231 may be formed within the liquid guide 150, and the heating element 110 is disposed within the atomizing channel 1231. Referring to Figure 19, in this embodiment, the end of the second annular member 112 may have an annular rib 1121 facing the liquid guide 150, and the annular rib 1121 also abuts against the liquid guide 150. In other embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 14, the atomizing assembly 100 may also include a support tube 160, in which the liquid guide 150 is disposed.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG19, a limiting groove 170 is formed on the side of the fixing member 130 near the atomizing element 120 (specifically, the heating element 110 in the atomizing element 120). The bottom surface of the limiting groove 170 is inclined, and the limiting groove 170 is used to accommodate and limit a portion of the first electrode lead 121 and a portion of the second electrode lead 122.

[0087] Specifically, as shown in Figure 14, the limiting groove 170 may include a first limiting groove 1122 and a second limiting groove 1123. The bottom surfaces of the first limiting groove 1122 and the second limiting groove 1123 are both inclined and serve to support and guide the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122, respectively. The first limiting groove 1122 is used to accommodate and limit the first electrode lead 121, and the second limiting groove 1123 is used to accommodate and limit part of the second electrode lead 122, thereby achieving a better fixing and guiding effect on the first electrode lead 121 and the second electrode lead 122.

[0088] This application embodiment also provides an atomizing component 100 for use in an electronic atomizing device 200, as shown in Figures 14-16 and 19. The atomizing component 100 includes an atomizing element 120 and a fixing member 130. The atomizing element 120 includes a liquid guiding member 150 for conducting a liquid matrix and a heating element 110 for heating the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol. The atomizing element 120 may also include a first electrode lead 121 and a second electrode lead 122. 2 are used to connect the positive and negative electrodes to energize the atomizing element 120, and the fixing member 130 is used to hold the atomizing element 120; at the same time, in this embodiment, the fixing member 130 is provided with a receiving cavity 15 and a snap-fit ​​groove 14 communicating with the receiving cavity 15. The receiving cavity 15 is used to provide external electrode structure insertion, and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 is used to receive a part of the first electrode lead 121 or a part of the second electrode lead 122, and provides guidance so that the first electrode lead 121 or the second electrode lead 122 crosses the receiving cavity 15.
