[0046] In one embodiment, an atomizer with an integrated sensing element is provided for forming an aerosol by heating an aerosol-generating matrix.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9. The atomizer includes a sensing element 2 and a sensing signal processing element 3. The sensing element 2 is configured to be triggered by contact. The sensing signal processing element 3 outputs an inductive electrical signal in response to the triggering of the sensing element 2. The atomizer also includes a mouthpiece 1 and a liquid storage chamber. The sensing element 2 is disposed at the mouthpiece 1 or at one end of the liquid storage chamber near the mouthpiece 1. The sensing signal processing element 3 has a signal output terminal 33 for outputting the inductive electrical signal.

[0048] The sensing element 2 is configured to be triggered by contact. For example, if the sensing element 2 is located on the nozzle 1, the user will trigger the sensing element 2 when they come into contact with the nozzle 1. Or, if the sensing element 2 is located at the end of the liquid storage chamber near the nozzle 1, the user will trigger the sensing element 2 when they come into contact with the end of the liquid storage chamber near the nozzle 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sensing element 2 is configured to be triggered by contact, and the sensing signal processing element 3 outputs a sensing electrical signal in response to the triggering of the sensing element 2. The atomizer is started by setting the sensing element 2 and the sensing signal processing element 3, which has the advantage of not being prone to failure.

[0050] In one embodiment, the sensing element 2 is disposed on the suction nozzle 1, and the sensing signal processing element 3 is positioned relative to the suction nozzle 1. Alternatively, the sensing element 2 is disposed at one end of the liquid storage chamber near the suction nozzle 1, and the sensing signal processing element 3 is positioned relative to the liquid storage chamber.

[0051] In one embodiment, when the sensing element 2 is disposed on the nozzle 1, the nozzle 1 has two opposing sidewalls, each sidewall being provided with at least one sensing element 2 to trigger the sensing element 2 when the user comes into contact with either or all of the sidewalls of the nozzle 1.

[0052] Referring further to Figure 3, the nozzle 1 has a flat structure, and sensing elements 2 are respectively provided on the two sidewalls of the nozzle 1 that have the largest surface area and are arranged opposite to each other.

[0053] In one embodiment, the sensing signal processing element 3 is configured to output an induced electrical signal in response to the triggering of any one of the sensing elements 2; or, the sensing signal processing element 3 is configured to output an induced electrical signal in response to the triggering of all the sensing elements 2, so as to meet the user's usage needs and the sensitivity requirements of the atomizer.

[0054] It is understood that the specific location of the sensing element 2 on the side wall of the nozzle 1, the number of sensing elements 2, and the configuration of the sensing signal processing element 3 to be triggered and output a sensing electrical signal in response to the number of sensing elements 2 can all be set according to the usage requirements, and the embodiments of this application do not make specific limitations.

[0055] In one embodiment, the suction nozzle 1 includes a cylindrical portion 11 and an outer peripheral portion 12. The cylindrical portion 11 has a hollow cylindrical structure and a first end facing away from the liquid storage cavity. The outer peripheral portion 12 is disposed around the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 11. The outer peripheral portion 12 has a first end facing away from the liquid storage cavity and a second end facing the liquid storage cavity. The first end of the outer peripheral portion 12 is connected to the first end of the cylindrical portion 11, and there is a gap between the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12 and the cylindrical portion 11. The first end of the sensing element 2 is disposed on the surface of the outer peripheral portion 12 facing the cylindrical portion 11 and extends towards the first end of the outer peripheral portion 12. The second end of the sensing element 2 bypasses the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12 and is disposed on the surface of the outer peripheral portion 12 facing away from the cylindrical portion 11.

[0056] Referring to FIG5, the first end of the outer peripheral portion 12 is connected to the first end of the cylindrical portion 11, and the remaining parts of the outer peripheral portion 12, except for the first end, have gaps with the cylindrical portion 11.

[0057] The first end of the cylindrical portion 11 is the nozzle outlet 15, and the second end of the cylindrical portion 11 is the nozzle inlet. Aerosol enters the cylindrical portion 11 through the nozzle inlet and then flows out through the nozzle outlet 15. Projecting a view toward the centerline of the cylindrical portion 11, the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12 is located inside the cylindrical portion 11.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sensing element 2 is connected to the outer peripheral portion 12. The first end of the sensing element 2 is disposed on the surface of the outer peripheral portion 12 facing the cylindrical portion 11 and extends towards the first end of the outer peripheral portion 12. The second end of the sensing element 2 bypasses the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12 and is disposed on the surface of the outer peripheral portion 12 away from the cylindrical portion 11. At this time, the connection area between the sensing element 2 and the outer peripheral portion 12 is large and the connection is relatively firm.

[0059] In one embodiment, in order to make the structure of the atomizer more compact, the surface of the sensing signal processing element 3 facing the mouthpiece 1 is in contact with the end face of the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12.

[0060] In one embodiment, a first peripheral notch 13 is provided at the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12, and the second end of the sensing element 2 passes through the first peripheral notch 13 and is disposed on the surface of the outer peripheral portion 12 away from the cylindrical portion 11.

[0061] In one embodiment, the sensing signal processing element 3 and the sensing element 2 can be connected using conductive electrodes. For example, the sensing signal processing element 3 and the sensing element 2 can be connected via a spring pin 31. The spring pin 31 is disposed at the first outer peripheral notch 13, and the spring pin 31 is connected to the portion of the sensing element 2 located at the first outer peripheral notch 13. The first outer peripheral notch 13 provides space for the spring pin 31, allowing the surface of the sensing signal processing element 3 facing the mouthpiece 1 to contact the end face of the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12, resulting in a more compact atomizer structure.

[0062] The spring pin 31 is a structural component used for interconnection on the sensing signal processing element 3, enabling power connection, signal transmission, and quick connection and disconnection. Furthermore, the spring pin 31 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can absorb the tolerances of the atomizer, ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the sensing element 2 and the sensing signal processing element 3. Moreover, the connection between the sensing element 2 and the sensing signal processing element 3 does not require connecting wires 21 or other connectors, reducing assembly steps, assembly time and quality issues caused by welding, and further improving the assembly efficiency and yield of the atomizer.

[0063] In this embodiment, the number of the first peripheral notch 13 is set according to the usage requirements. The number of the first peripheral notch 13 can be the same as the number of spring pins 31, and each first peripheral notch 13 is provided with one spring pin 31.

[0064] In one embodiment, the atomizer further includes an upper silicone rubber 5 that seals the liquid reservoir. The upper silicone rubber 5 includes an upper silicone rubber groove 51, which is disposed on the surface of the upper silicone rubber 5 facing the mouthpiece 1. The sensing signal processing element 3 is at least partially disposed within the upper silicone rubber groove 51. The sensing signal processing element 3 is fixedly connected to the upper silicone rubber 5 through the upper silicone rubber groove 51.

[0065] In one embodiment, to prevent the sensing signal processing element 3 from detaching from the upper silicone groove 51 and to ensure reliable connection of the sensing signal processing element 3 within the atomizer, a blocking portion 52 is provided at the top of the upper silicone groove 51. The blocking portion 52 is arranged around the outer periphery of the upper silicone groove 51 and partially blocks the upper silicone groove 51. The space formed by the blocking portion 52 allows the second end of the outer periphery 12 to be positioned, so that the surface of the sensing signal processing element 3 facing the mouthpiece 1 contacts the end face of the second end of the outer periphery 12, making the atomizer structure more compact.

[0066] In one embodiment, a first through hole 32 is provided in the middle of the sensing signal processing element 3, and a second through hole 53 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the upper silicone groove 51. The axis of the second through hole 53 coincides with the axis of the first through hole 32. The cylindrical part 11 has a second end facing the liquid storage cavity, and the second end of the cylindrical part 11 passes through the first through hole 32 and is inserted into the second through hole 53.

[0067] The sensor signal processing element 3 has a first through hole 32 in the middle, perpendicular to the length direction Z of the atomizer, and a second through hole 53 in the middle of the bottom of the upper silicone groove 51. The second through hole 53 is connected to the first through hole 32. The first through hole 32 is used to avoid the cylindrical part 11, and the second through hole 53 is used to limit the cylindrical part 11 and provide assembly space for the second end of the cylindrical part 11. Moreover, the second end of the cylindrical part 11 is the mouthpiece air inlet, through which the aerosol enters the cylindrical part 11, providing a flow path for the aerosol.

[0068] In one embodiment, two sensing elements 2 are provided, which are located on both sides of the first through hole 32 and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the first through hole 32.

[0069] In one embodiment, the groove wall of the upper silicone groove 51 is provided with a groove wall notch 54; a second peripheral notch 14 is also provided at the second end of the outer peripheral portion 12, and the second peripheral notch 12 is correspondingly provided with the groove wall notch 54; the atomizer also includes a connecting wire 21, which passes through the second peripheral notch 14 and the groove wall notch 54, and one end of the connecting wire 21 is connected to the signal output terminal 33, and the connecting wire 21 transmits an induced electrical signal. In this embodiment, the groove wall notch 54 provides space for the connecting wire 21.

[0070] In one embodiment, the atomizer also includes a control board 4 and a battery cell 65. The control board 4 is communicatively connected to the sensing signal processing element 3, and the control board 4 controls the battery cell 65 to output the working voltage of the atomizer based on the sensing electrical signal.

[0071] One end of the connecting wire 21 is connected to the signal output terminal 33, and the other end of the connecting wire 21 is connected to the control board 4. The connecting wire 21 transmits the induced electrical signal to the control board 4. The control board 4 controls the output of the atomizer's operating voltage based on the induced electrical signal, thereby enabling the atomizer to operate.

[0072] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, the upper silicone 5 is disposed inside the first housing 66 of the atomizer. The outer periphery of the upper silicone 5 is usually in contact with the first housing 66. Therefore, in order to avoid interference between the upper silicone 5, the first housing 66 and the connecting line 21, an end notch 56 is also provided on the outer periphery of the upper silicone 5, and the connecting line 21 is disposed through the end notch 56.

[0073] It is understandable that the number of connecting lines 21 is set according to usage requirements. For example, as shown in Figure 6, there are four connecting lines 21.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 8, the surface of the upper silicone 5 facing the nozzle 1 is further provided with an annular groove 55, which is perpendicular to the length direction Z. The annular groove 55 is arranged around the outer periphery of the upper silicone groove 51, and the annular groove 55 is engaged with the housing protrusion 661 on the first housing 66 to ensure accurate positioning between the upper silicone 5 and the first housing 66.

[0075] In one embodiment, the wall thickness of the sidewall ranges from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, and at least a portion of the sensing element 2 contacts the inner surface of the sidewall. In the above structure of this application embodiment, when the wall thickness of the sidewall of the suction nozzle 1 is within the above range, the sensing element 2 is configured to be triggered by contact.

[0076] In practical use, the wall thickness of the sidewall is set according to the requirements. For example, the wall thickness of the sidewall is 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, and multiple values ​​between the above values.

[0077] In one embodiment, the sensing element 2 is a bent metal sheet, and the sensing element 2 is configured such that its length direction is consistent with the length direction of the atomizer.

[0078] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the length direction Z of the atomizer is indicated by arrow Z. If the sensing element 2 is set to have the same length direction as the atomizer, the range of user contact triggering can be increased.

[0079] In one embodiment, the atomizer further includes an oil tank 61, a liquid storage element 62, a lower silicone rubber 68, an atomizing core 63, absorbent cotton 64, a battery cell 65, a first housing 66, and a second housing 67.

[0080] The first housing 66 and the second housing 67 are fastened together to house the sensing signal processing element 3, the upper silicone 5, the control board 4, the oil tank 61, the liquid storage element 62, the lower silicone 68, the atomizing core 63, the absorbent cotton 64, and the battery cell 65 within the first housing 66 and the second housing 67. Along the length direction Z, the upper silicone 5, the oil tank 61, the lower silicone 68, the absorbent cotton 64, the battery cell 65, and the control board 4 are stacked sequentially.

[0081] The oil tank 61 has a cylindrical structure, and a liquid storage chamber is formed inside the oil tank 61. In the length direction Z, one end of the oil tank 61 is sealed by the upper silicone 5, and the other end of the oil tank 61 is sealed by the lower silicone 68. A liquid storage element 62 is provided inside the oil tank 61, and an aerosol generation matrix is ​​provided in the liquid storage element 62.

[0082] The outer periphery of the lower silicone 68 is usually in contact with the first housing 66. Therefore, in order to avoid interference between the lower silicone 68, the first housing 66 and the connecting line 21, a clearance opening is provided on the outer periphery of the lower silicone 68, through which the connecting line 21 passes.

[0083] The atomizing core 63 is disposed within the oil reservoir 61. The atomizing core 63 is used to draw in or adsorb the aerosol generating matrix within the liquid storage element 62. When the atomizing core 63 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating matrix within the liquid storage element 62, an aerosol can be formed.

[0084] The absorbent cotton 64 can prevent the condensate of aerosol from flowing out and affecting the use of the battery cell 65, etc.

[0085] The second housing 67 of the atomizer has an air inlet at the end opposite to the first housing 66. Multiple air inlets can be provided on the second housing 67 to increase the air intake of the atomizer, thereby improving its atomization effect.

[0086] The atomizing core 63 is electrically connected to the battery cell 65, and the battery cell 65 is electrically connected to the control board 4. The control board 4 can control the conduction between the battery cell 65 and the atomizing core 63. When the sensing signal processing element 3 transmits the sensing electrical signal of the user touching the mouthpiece 1 to the control board 4, the control board 4 controls the battery cell 65 to supply power to the atomizing core 63. The atomizing core 63 can generate heat to heat the aerosol generation matrix in the oil tank 61 to form an aerosol.

[0087] During use, gas enters the atomizer through the air inlet on the second housing 67 and then enters the oil tank 61 through the air inlet on the lower silicone 68. The atomizing coil 63 heats the aerosol generating matrix, and the aerosol generated flows out from the mouthpiece outlet 15 along with the gas.

[0088] In one embodiment, an atomizing device is provided, which includes an atomizer 72 as described above.

[0089] Since the atomizer 72 described above is activated by setting a sensing element 2 and a sensing signal processing element 3, it has the advantage of not being prone to failure, which makes the atomizing device not prone to failure.

[0090] Furthermore, the atomizing device includes an atomizer 72 and a power supply 71. The power supply 71 provides electrical energy to the atomizer 72, which heats the aerosol-generating matrix into an aerosol. This atomizing device can be a disposable product or a refillable product. For disposable atomizing devices, the atomizer 72 and the power supply 71 are fixedly connected; for refillable atomizing devices, the atomizer 72 and the power supply 71 are detachably connected, and the atomizer 72 and the power supply 71 can be replaced as needed. The above-described atomizing device is only one embodiment of this application; other atomizing devices with an atomizer 72 are also within the scope of protection of this application. The specific internal structure of the atomizing device will not be described in detail.

[0091] In one embodiment, a mouthpiece assembly is disclosed. The mouthpiece assembly includes a mouthpiece 1, a sensing element 2, and a sensing signal processing element 3. The sensing element 2 is connected to the mouthpiece 1 and is configured to be triggered by contact. The sensing signal processing element 3 outputs an induced electrical signal in response to the triggering of the sensing element 2. The sensing signal processing element 3 has a signal output terminal 33 for outputting the induced electrical signal. In this embodiment, the sensing element 2 and the sensing signal processing element 3 can activate the atomizer of the mouthpiece assembly, which has the advantage of being less prone to failure.

[0092] In one embodiment, the suction nozzle 1 and the sensing element 2 are an integral structural component.

[0093] The sensing element 2 employs a capacitive contact principle. There is a predetermined capacitance value between the sensing element 2 and the mouthpiece 1. When the user touches the mouthpiece 1, the capacitance value changes, thereby activating the atomizer for atomization. The gap between the sensing element 2 and the mouthpiece 1 significantly affects the activation sensitivity; a large gap will drastically reduce the activation sensitivity. In this embodiment, the mouthpiece 1 and the sensing element 2 are integrated, avoiding gaps between them and preventing the gap from widening due to assembly tolerances, drops, or external impacts. This results in a more consistent and effective atomizer sensitivity.

[0094] In one embodiment, the sensing element 2 is made of metal, and the nozzle 1 is made of plastic. The metal sensing element 2 is fused to the plastic during injection molding, achieving effective adhesion with the nozzle 1. Furthermore, as a single component, there is no need to consider the gap between the two during production, and it offers the advantage of easy assembly. Moreover, under the high temperature inside the mold, the plastic forms a tight bond with the surface of the sensing element 2, effectively improving resistance to loosening caused by drops or external forces and preventing a decrease in sensitivity.
