Description

An improved cartridge atomizer Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizer technology, and in particular to an improved cartridge-refillable atomizer. Background Technology

[0002] The atomizing material in existing atomizers generally includes a shell and an atomizing section. The atomizing section is housed in the shell, which includes an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall divides the shell into an air passage and a storage chamber. The storage chamber is used to store the atomized material. The atomizing section is connected to the storage chamber and the air passage respectively. The atomizing section includes a material control component, an atomizing core, and a heating coil. The heating coil is wound around the atomizing core. The material control component is located between the storage chamber and the atomizing core. The material control component is used for contact between the atomized material and the atomizing core. The material control component is made of a porous material.

[0003] Current atomizers primarily use buttons, touchscreens, and pressure sensors to activate. Users must inhale to start the machine, which heats the atomized material and draws the gas from the nozzle into their mouth. Since inhalation requires a certain amount of suction and is limited in duration (typically only 2-3 seconds), this results in limitations such as restricted usage and short inhalation times per puff. Direct mouth contact with the nozzle also raises concerns about hygiene and limited usability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved cartridge atomizer that can actively deliver air and offers selectable usage methods.

[0011] The mouth-inhalation air conditioning unit is located inside the housing assembly. When inhaling, the direct blowing unit is isolated from the nozzle by the start button. The mouth-inhalation air conditioning unit adjusts the amount of atomization in the nozzle by the suction force.

[0012] Preferably, the direct-blowing unit includes:

[0013] A direct-blowing channel is disposed within the housing assembly and communicates with the air nozzle;

In this case, the mouth-to-mouth air-adjusting unit adjusts the concentration of the atomized gas in the nozzle according to the suction strength. Overall, this application provides two methods of using the atomizer—contact and non-contact—to meet the needs of different users, effectively improving the user experience.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1-5, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides an improved cartridge atomizer, including a housing assembly 2, a nozzle 1 inserted into the housing assembly 2, and further comprising:

[0047] The direct-blowing unit is located inside the housing assembly 2 and is connected to the nozzle 1. The atomized material is installed inside the nozzle 1.

[0048] The start button is installed on the housing assembly 2. When the air supply is active, the direct blowing unit is connected to the air nozzle 1 through the start button.

[0049] The mouth-inhalation air conditioning unit is located inside the housing assembly 2. When inhaling, the direct blowing unit is isolated from the nozzle 1 by the start button, and the mouth-inhalation air conditioning unit adjusts the amount of atomization in the nozzle 1 by the suction force.

[0050] Current atomizers primarily use buttons, touchscreens, and air pressure sensors to start. These methods require inhaling through the mouth to activate the machine, heat the atomized material, and draw the gas from the nozzle into the mouth. Since inhalation requires a certain amount of suction and is limited in duration (most people can only inhale for 2-3 seconds), this results in limitations such as restricted usage and short inhalation times per puff. Direct mouth contact with the nozzle also raises concerns about hygiene and health, and restricts usage options. In this application, the main function of the direct-blowing unit is to actively deliver air through the nozzle 1. The direct-blowing unit can be connected to or disconnected from the nozzle 1 by manually operating the start button. When connected, air is actively delivered into the nozzle 1, allowing the atomized gas to be inhaled into the mouth without direct contact with the nozzle 1. This non-contact method effectively reduces the difficulty of inhaling the atomized gas and is suitable for users who do not directly contact the nozzle 1, avoiding hygiene and health issues. When disconnected, the direct-blowing unit cannot expel the atomized gas from the nozzle 1. In this case, a mouth-inhalation method can be selected, which is a contact method requiring the mouth to touch the nozzle 1. When mouth-inhalation is selected, the mouth-inhalation air adjustment unit adjusts the concentration of the atomized gas in the nozzle 1 according to the suction strength. Overall, this application provides two ways to use the atomizer—contact with the nozzle 1 and non-contact with the nozzle 1—to meet the needs of different users, effectively improving the user experience.

[0051] Further optimization of the design includes the following direct-blowing unit:

[0052] A direct-blow channel is provided inside the housing assembly 2 and is connected to the nozzle 1;

[0053] The fan is installed in the direct-blowing channel and is electrically connected to the start button. The fan is connected to or blocked from the air nozzle 1 through the start button.

[0054] The fan starts running after being powered on by manually pressing the start button, generating airflow and connecting the fan outlet to nozzle 1. At the same time, the atomized material body begins to heat up and release gas, i.e., atomized gas. The atomized gas is blown out by the airflow for easy use by the user, which is an active air delivery method.

[0055] Further optimizations to the solution include the following start-up keys:

[0056] The first end of the button assembly 6 is inserted into the housing assembly 2 in a direction perpendicular to the exhaust direction of the direct blowing channel;

[0057] Ventilation hole 14 is provided at the insertion end of button assembly 6. The fan, ventilation hole 14 and air nozzle 1 are connected or blocked by sliding button assembly 6.

[0058] Initially, the fan, ventilation hole 14, and air nozzle 1 are blocked and not connected. When the button assembly 6 is pressed, the switch inside the button assembly 6 is powered on, the fan starts to run, the atomized material is heated to generate gas, and the fan, ventilation hole 14, and air nozzle 1 are connected, and active air delivery begins. After the button assembly 6 is reset, the fan is powered off, and the fan, ventilation hole 14, and air nozzle 1 are restored to the blocked state.

[0059] Further optimizations to the solution include the following features for the start button:

[0060] Spring 16 abuts between the insertion end of button assembly 6 and housing assembly 2, and vent 14 is disengaged from the connection between fan and air nozzle 1 by spring 16.

[0061] In the initial state, under the action of the spring 16, the second end of the button assembly 6 extends out of the housing assembly 2, causing the ventilation hole 14 to disengage from the connection between the fan and the nozzle 1. When the user actively delivers air, pressing the button assembly 6 further compresses the spring 16, connecting the fan, ventilation hole 14, and nozzle 1, allowing for active air delivery. After the atomizer is finished, releasing the button assembly 6 causes the ventilation hole 14 to disengage from the connection between the fan and the nozzle 1 under the action of the spring 16.

[0062] The design has been further optimized, and the mouth-to-lung air conditioning unit includes:

[0063] The first air regulating chamber 17 and the second air regulating chamber 19 are connected and are respectively connected to the air nozzle 1. A pressure sensor 21 is installed in the first air regulating chamber 17 and / or the second air regulating chamber 19.

[0064] The baffle 5 is slidably connected to the side wall of the housing assembly 2, and the first air regulating chamber 17 is connected to or blocked from the atmosphere through the sliding baffle 5.

[0065] When the user inhales through their mouth, they manually move the baffle 5 to connect the first air regulating chamber 17 and the second air regulating chamber 19 to the atmosphere. The air pressure sensor 21 transmits the signal of the suction force (i.e. the signal of the pressure difference generated in the first air regulating chamber 17 and the second air regulating chamber 19) to the controller. The controller controls the heating power of the atomizing material, that is, controls the amount of atomized gas produced by the atomizing material.

[0066] Further optimizations include the following features for the mouth-to-lung air conditioning unit:

[0067] The third through hole 18 and the fourth through hole 20 are respectively located on the side wall of the first air regulating chamber 17 and connected to the air inlet end of the air nozzle 1. The fourth through hole 20 is located on the side wall of the second air regulating chamber 19 and connected to the air inlet end of the air nozzle 1.

[0068] The air nozzle 1 is connected to the first air regulating chamber 17 through the third through hole 18, and the air nozzle 1 is connected to the second air regulating chamber 19 through the fourth through hole 20.

[0069] Further optimizations include the following features for the mouth-to-lung air conditioning unit:

[0070] A number of air regulating ports 9 are opened at the first end of the baffle 5. The first air regulating cavity 17 is connected to the atmosphere through the air regulating ports 9, and the first air regulating cavity 17 is blocked from the atmosphere through the second end of the baffle 5.

[0071] Several air regulating ports 9 of different sizes are opened at the first end of the baffle 5. As the first end of the baffle 5 gradually approaches the connection between the first air regulating chamber 17 and the atmosphere, the smaller air regulating port 9 first connects to the first air regulating chamber 17. According to the user's suction power, the air flow between the first air regulating chamber 17 and the atmosphere can be selected to generate a sufficient pressure difference between the first air regulating chamber 17 and the second air regulating chamber 19. Generally, the smaller the air passage during inhalation, the greater the pressure difference. The air pressure sensor 21 can detect the pressure difference between the inside and outside during inhalation. Based on the sufficient pressure difference, a start signal is generated to heat the atomizing material to generate atomized gas.

[0072] Further optimizations include the following features for the mouth-to-lung air conditioning unit:

[0073] Limiting hole 4 is provided on the side wall of housing assembly 2, and baffle 5 is slidably connected in limiting hole 4;

[0074] The limiting post 3 is fixedly connected to the middle end of the stop bar 5 and extends out of the limiting hole 4.

[0075] By manually moving the limiting post 3, the baffle 5 can slide in the limiting hole 4, thereby enabling the first air regulating chamber 17 to communicate with the atmosphere through the air regulating port 9, and enabling the first air regulating chamber 17 to be isolated from the atmosphere through the second end of the baffle 5.

[0076] Further optimization of the solution, the direct-blowing channel includes:

[0077] Cavity 13 is formed inside housing assembly 2. The fan, ventilation hole 14 and cavity 13 are connected or blocked by sliding button assembly 6.

[0078] A first through hole 10, a plurality of first through holes 10 are formed in the housing assembly 2 and are connected between the cavity 13 and the air nozzle 1.

[0079] A gap (not marked in the figure) is provided between the first through hole 10 and the air inlet end of the air nozzle 1. When the ventilation hole 14 is blocked and the first air regulating chamber 17 is connected to the atmosphere, the atmosphere and the first air regulating chamber 17 are connected to the air inlet end of the air nozzle 1 through the gap.

[0080] Further optimizations to the plan include:

[0081] Second through hole 12, a plurality of second through holes 12 are opened at the air inlet end of the air nozzle 1 and are connected to the first through hole 10, the first air regulating cavity 17 and the second air regulating cavity 19.

[0082] The exhaust duct 11 is located inside the air nozzle 1 and is connected to the second through hole 12. The atomized material is installed inside the exhaust duct 11.

[0083] The aforementioned gap is located between the first through hole 10 and the second through hole 12; when the nozzle 1 is inserted into the housing assembly 2, the heating coil in the atomizing material body is activated to generate atomized gas after the button assembly 6 is pressed or an energizing signal is provided by the pressure sensor 21.

[0084] Further optimization of the solution includes the following direct-blowing channels:

[0085] The fan mounting cavity 15 is located inside the housing assembly 2 and communicates with the cavity 13 through the ventilation hole 14. The fan is installed inside the fan mounting cavity 15.

[0086] Ventilation grille 7 is mounted on housing assembly 2 and communicates with fan mounting cavity 15.

[0087] This application also includes a power supply, which is installed on a circuit board inside the housing assembly 2 and is electrically connected to the fan, atomizing material body, button assembly 6, air pressure sensor 21, and controller inside the housing assembly 2; wherein, a charging port 8 is also provided on the side wall of the housing assembly 2, and the charging port 8 is correspondingly provided to the charging end of the power supply.

[0088] The atomizing material in nozzle 1 is replaceable, i.e., refillable. When a low-resistance atomizing material with a heating wire is used, the controller automatically switches to high-power mode. When a higher-resistance atomizing material with a heating wire is used, the controller automatically switches to low-power mode. The controller uses an existing atomizer chip controller module.
