Description

Cartridge structure and electronic cigarette

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202520159744.1, filed on January 23, 2025, entitled "Cartridge Structure and Electronic Cigarette", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of e-cigarette cartridge structure technology, and in particular to an e-cigarette cartridge structure and an electronic cigarette. Background Technology

[0003] In existing e-cigarette cartridge structures, the main mechanism for heating the e-liquid (oil) is based on a ceramic heating element or a metal mesh core. The atomization principle involves placing the ceramic heating element or metal mesh core within the e-liquid (oil) container. It is electrically connected to a circuit board assembly (PCBA) via wire bonding. Changes in the user's inhalation trigger a switch (such as the microphone) to initiate instantaneous heating, rapidly heating and atomizing the e-liquid (oil) to produce an aerosol, thus providing the user with nicotine intake.

[0004] The inventors realized that currently, the structure of a cigarette cartridge generally includes a liquid storage component and a heating component. The heating component is always in contact with the liquid storage component, and the e-liquid (oil) may continuously flow to the heating component, resulting in leakage (oil) during use and storage, which brings a bad experience to the user.

[0040] The cartridge structure provided in this application connects a driving component to a heating component. The driving component provides power to move the heating component within the airway, allowing the liquid inlet channel of the heating component to contact different positions within the airway of the liquid storage component, thus switching the liquid inlet channel between open and closed states. With this configuration, when the cartridge structure is in use, the driving component moves the heating component upwards, bringing its liquid inlet channel into contact with the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage component. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) can enter the heating component through the liquid inlet channel, and the heating component operates to atomize the e-liquid (oil). When the cartridge structure is not in use, the driving component moves the heating component downwards, preventing its liquid inlet channel from contacting the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage component. In this case, the e-liquid (oil) cannot enter the heating component through the liquid inlet channel. This avoids the risk of leakage and prevents a negative user experience.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] This application provides a cartridge structure. Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, the cartridge structure includes a liquid storage component 1, a heating component 2, and a driving component 3. The liquid storage component 1 has an air passage 101 arranged along a first direction, and the heating component 2 is movably installed in the air passage 101 along the first direction. The heating component 2 has a liquid inlet channel 21. The driving component 3 is connected to the heating component 2 and is used to drive the heating component 2 to move within the air passage 101 to switch the liquid inlet channel 21 to be in an open state or a blocked state.

[0053] The first direction is the vertical direction of the liquid storage component 1, which is also the vertical direction of the cartridge structure.

[0054] As an example, the cartridge structure is applied to an electronic cigarette, specifically including a liquid storage component 1, a heating component 2, and a driving component 3; the driving component 3 can drive the heating component 2 to move. During installation, the liquid storage component 1 contains e-liquid (oil), and an air passage 101 is provided within the liquid storage component 1 along a first direction. The heating component 2 is movably installed within the air passage 101 along the first direction. The heating component 2 has a liquid inlet channel 21, through which the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage component 1 flows into the heating component 2. When the heating component 2 operates, it atomizes the e-liquid (oil), and the resulting vapor is delivered through the air passage 101 for the user to inhale. The driving component 3 is connected to the heating component 2, providing power to drive the heating component 2 to move within the air passage 101, causing the liquid inlet channel 21 of the heating component 2 to contact different positions within the air passage 101 of the liquid storage component 1, thereby switching between different positions. The liquid inlet channel 21 is either open or closed. With this configuration, when the cartridge structure is used, the drive assembly 3 drives the heating assembly 2 upwards, causing the liquid inlet channel 21 of the heating assembly 2 to contact the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage assembly 1. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) can enter the heating assembly 2 through the liquid inlet channel 21, and the heating assembly 2 operates, atomizing the e-liquid (oil). When the cartridge structure is not used, the drive assembly 3 drives the heating assembly 2 downwards, preventing the liquid inlet channel 21 from contacting the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage assembly 1. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) cannot enter the heating assembly 2 through the liquid inlet channel 21. This avoids the risk of leakage (oil) and prevents a negative user experience.

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 3, 4, and 5, the liquid storage assembly 1 includes a liquid storage shell 102, a first base 103, a liquid storage cotton 104, a separator 105, and a sealing component 106. A mouthpiece 107 is provided at the first end of the liquid storage shell 102, and the first base 103 is installed at the second end of the liquid storage shell 102, the two cooperating to form an accommodating space. The liquid storage cotton 104, the separator 105, and the sealing component 106 are sequentially arranged in the accommodating space, and the sealing component 106 is installed on the first base 103. The first base 103 is provided with a first through hole, the liquid storage cotton 104 is provided with a second through hole, the separator 105 is provided with a third through hole, and the sealing component 106 is provided with a fourth through hole. The first through hole, the second through hole, the third through hole, and the fourth through hole cooperate to form an air passage 101.

[0056] As an example, the liquid storage assembly 1 includes a liquid storage shell 102, a first base 103, a liquid storage cotton 104, a separator 105, and a sealing component 106. The liquid storage shell 102 is a shell structure. During installation, a mouthpiece 107 is provided at the first end of the liquid storage shell 102. The mouthpiece 107 is connected to the air passage 101 of the cartridge structure, providing convenience for the user to inhale smoke. The liquid storage assembly 1 also includes a filter ring, such as an O-ring, made of silicone material, which can filter the passing smoke. The first base 103 is installed at the second end of the liquid storage shell 102. The two cooperate to form a receiving space for installing the main components of the liquid storage assembly 1. The first base 103 has a protrusion or a groove, and the second end of the liquid storage shell 102 has a groove or a protrusion. The groove and the protrusion engage to facilitate the assembly of the first base 103 and the liquid storage shell 102 together. The liquid storage cotton 104, the separator 105, and the liquid sealing component 106 are sequentially arranged in the accommodating space. The liquid sealing component 106 is installed on the first base 103. In this way, the separator 105 can divide the accommodating space into two parts: one part is the liquid supply area where the liquid storage cotton 104 is installed, which is used to store e-liquid (oil); the other part is the blocking area where the liquid sealing component 106 is installed. The liquid sealing component 106 is used to block the liquid inlet channel 21 on the heating element 2 to prevent e-liquid (oil) from entering the heating element 2. The separator 105 can also prevent the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid supply area from flowing to the blocking area. A first through hole is provided on the first base 103, a second through hole is provided on the liquid storage cotton 104, a third through hole is provided on the separator 105, and a fourth through hole is provided on the liquid sealing component 106. The first, second, third, and fourth through holes cooperate to form an air passage 101. With this configuration, when the cartridge structure is used, the drive assembly 3 drives the heating component 2 to move upward, so that the liquid inlet channel 21 of the heating component 2 contacts the liquid storage cotton 104. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage cotton 104 can enter the interior of the heating component 2 through the liquid inlet channel 21, and the heating component 2 works to atomize the e-liquid (oil). When the cartridge structure is not used, the drive assembly 3 drives the heating component 2 to move downward, so that the liquid inlet channel 21 of the heating component 2 contacts the liquid sealing component 106 and does not contact the liquid storage cotton 104. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage cotton 104 cannot enter the interior of the heating component 2 through the liquid inlet channel 21. This avoids the risk of leakage (oil) and avoids a bad experience for the user. The separator 105 is made of steel sheet, and the sealing component 106 is made of silicone.

[0057] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 3 and 6, the heating component 2 includes a heating tube 22, a second base 23, and a heating core 24; the heating tube 22 is movably installed in the air passage 101 along a first direction, and one end of the heating tube 22 extends outside the air passage 101 and is connected to the driving component 3; the second base 23 is installed inside the heating tube 22 and is located at one end of the heating tube 22 near the driving component 3, and the heating core 24 is installed on the second base 23; the liquid inlet channel 21 is provided on the heating tube 22 and corresponds to the heating core 24.

[0058] As an example, the heating element 2 includes a heating tube 22, a second base 23, and a heating core 24. During installation, the heating tube 22 is movably installed in the air passage 101 along a first direction. One end of the heating tube 22 extends outside the air passage 101 and connects to the drive component 3. Specifically, the heating tube 22 is a long tube, and one end of the heating tube 22 is provided with two limiting protrusions spaced apart along the first direction. The two limiting protrusions cooperate to form a snap-fit ​​position for installing the connecting part of the drive component 3. The drive component 3 can drive the heating tube 22 to move within the air passage 101. The second base 23 is installed inside the heating tube 22, located at the end of the heating tube 22 near the drive component 3. The second base 23 is made of silicone material and serves as a support for installing the heating core 24. The heating core 24 is installed on the second base 23, and the liquid inlet channel 21 is provided. On the heating tube 22, corresponding to the heating core 24, there are multiple through holes on the circumference of the heating tube 22. With this arrangement, when the driving component 3 moves the heating tube 22 upward, the liquid inlet channel 21 on the heating tube 22 contacts the liquid storage cotton 104. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage cotton 104 can enter the interior of the heating tube 22 through the liquid inlet channel 21 and contact the heating core 24. The heating core 24 then works to atomize the e-liquid (oil). When the driving component 3 moves the heating tube 22 downward, the liquid inlet channel 21 on the heating tube 22 contacts the liquid sealing component 106 and does not contact the liquid storage cotton 104. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage cotton 104 cannot enter the interior of the heating tube 22 through the liquid inlet channel 21. This avoids the risk of leakage (oil) and prevents a bad experience for the user.

[0059] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, the cartridge structure further includes an air box 4 and an air passage tube 5; the air box 4 is located on one side of the heating component 2; one end of the air passage tube 5 is connected to the heating component 2, and the other end of the air passage tube 5 is connected to the air box 4; a first switch 6 is provided on the air box 4.

[0060] As an example, the cartridge structure also includes an air chamber 4 and an air duct 5. During installation, the air chamber 4 is located on one side of the heating element 2, specifically below the liquid storage component 1. One end of the air duct 5 is connected to the heating element 2, and the other end is connected to the air chamber 4. Specifically, the air duct 5 is a telescopic tube or a deformable flexible tube. The air chamber 4 is provided with an installation groove. One end of the air duct 5 is installed inside the heating tube 22 and connected to the heating tube 22. The other end of the air duct 5 is inserted into the installation groove. The air chamber 4 is provided with a first switch 6, which can be used to adjust the air intake size, thereby adjusting the working position of the cartridge structure.

[0061] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, the drive assembly 3 includes a sliding bracket 31, a slider 32, a motor 33 and a drive member 34; the sliding bracket 31 is mounted on the liquid storage assembly 1; one end of the slider 32 is connected to the heating assembly 2, and the other end of the slider 32 is connected to the drive member 34; the motor 33 is mounted on the sliding bracket 31, and the output end of the motor 33 is connected to one end of the drive member 34.

[0062] As an example, the drive assembly 3 includes a sliding bracket 31, a slider 32, a motor 33, and a drive component 34. During installation, the sliding bracket 31 is mounted on the liquid storage assembly 1, specifically fixed to the first base 103 with screws. One end of the slider 32 is connected to the heating assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the drive component 34. Specifically, one end of the slider 32 is fitted onto the heating tube 22, located between two limiting protrusions, and the other end is fixedly or threadedly connected to the drive component 34. The motor 33 is mounted on the sliding bracket 31 via a motor bracket, and the output end of the motor 33 is connected to one end of the drive component 34. With this configuration, the motor 33 can drive the slider 32 to move along a first direction via the drive component 34, thereby... The heating element 22 moves within the air passage 101 along the first direction. When the heating element 22 moves upward, the liquid inlet channel 21 on the heating element 22 contacts the liquid storage cotton 104. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage cotton 104 can enter the interior of the heating element 22 through the liquid inlet channel 21 and contact the heating core 24. The heating core 24 then works to atomize the e-liquid (oil). When the heating element 22 moves downward, the liquid inlet channel 21 on the heating element 22 contacts the sealing element 106 and does not contact the liquid storage cotton 104. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage cotton 104 cannot enter the interior of the heating element 22 through the liquid inlet channel 21 and cannot be atomized. This avoids the risk of leakage and prevents a bad experience for the user. In this design, motor 33 can be a stepper motor, drive component 34 is a threaded rod, and the other end of sliding component 32 is threadedly connected to drive component 34. Stepper motors have high precision; their forward and reverse rotation can drive the threaded rod to rotate in both directions, thereby driving sliding component 32 to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod, thus achieving vertical displacement of heating component 2. Alternatively, motor 33 can be replaced with a cylinder, and drive component 34 can be a push rod. The cylinder can drive the push rod to move along the first direction, thereby driving sliding component 32 to move up and down, thus achieving vertical displacement of heating component 2.

[0063] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4, 5 and 6, the drive assembly 3 further includes a guide member 35; the guide member 35 is disposed on the sliding bracket 31 along a first direction, and the sliding member 32 is fitted onto the guide member 35.

[0064] As an example, the drive assembly 3 also includes a guide member 35. During installation, the guide member 35 is positioned on the sliding bracket 31 along a first direction, and the sliding member 32 is fitted onto the guide member 35. This configuration allows the guide member 35 to provide guidance and limitation for the movement of the sliding member 32, preventing misalignment and ensuring smooth movement of the heating element 22. Two guide members 35 are provided, spaced apart and located on opposite sides of the heating element 22.

[0065] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 and 6, the sliding bracket 31 includes a first support plate 311, a second support plate 312, and a plurality of support legs 313; the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the plurality of support legs 313 are spaced apart between the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312; the guide member 35 is disposed on the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312 along the first direction; both the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312 are provided with a clearance groove 314 for avoiding the heat-generating component 2.

[0066] As an example, the sliding bracket 31 includes a first support plate 311, a second support plate 312, and a plurality of support legs 313. During installation, the first support plate 311 is fixed to the first base 103 by screws. The first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312 are spaced apart along a first direction. The plurality of support legs 313 are spaced apart between the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312. In this way, the first support plate 311, the second support plate 312, and the plurality of support legs 313 cooperate to form a frame structure for mounting other components of the drive assembly 3. The guide member 35 is disposed on the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312 along the first direction. Specifically, the first support plate 311 has a first screw hole, and the second support plate 312 has a second screw hole. The head of the guide member 35 has a threaded structure, so the guide member 35 passes through the first screw hole and the second screw hole to install the guide member 35 on the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312. This facilitates the guiding and limiting of the movement of the sliding member 32, preventing the sliding member 32 from moving out of place, and ensuring smooth movement of the heating element 22. Both the first support plate 311 and the second support plate 312 are provided with clearance grooves 314 to avoid the heating element 2, thus facilitating the adjustment of the movement of the heating element 2. The second support plate 312 is also provided with a fixing leg for connecting with other structures, facilitating the fixing of the drive component 3 to other structures and ensuring a more stable and safe installation of the drive component 3.

[0068] As an example, the cartridge structure also includes a fixed bracket 7 and a protective shell 8. During installation, the liquid storage component 1 and the drive component 3 are both mounted on the first side of the fixed bracket 7, specifically the first base 103 and the sliding bracket 31 are mounted on the first side of the fixed bracket 7. Then, the protective shell 8 is snapped onto the fixed bracket 7 and the liquid storage component 1, forming a protective space around the drive component 3. This protects the drive component 3 and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the cartridge structure. The fixed bracket 7 has snap-fit ​​protrusions or snap-fit ​​grooves, and the protective shell 8 has snap-fit ​​grooves or snap-fit ​​protrusions. The snap-fit ​​protrusions engage with the snap-fit ​​grooves, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the protective shell 8.

[0071] This application provides an electronic cigarette, including a power supply structure and a cartridge structure; the power supply structure is mounted on a fixed bracket 7 of the cartridge structure and is connected to the electrode assembly 10 of the cartridge structure.

[0072] As an example, an electronic cigarette includes a power supply structure and a cartridge structure. The power supply structure is mounted on a fixed bracket 7 of the cartridge structure and connected to the electrode assembly 10 of the cartridge structure. With this configuration, the heating element 2 can obtain power from the power supply structure through the electrode assembly 10 and operate. The operating state of the heating element 2 can be controlled by a second switch 11, providing convenience for users to use the cartridge structure. The cartridge structure includes a liquid storage assembly 1, a heating element 2, and a driving assembly 3; the driving assembly 3 can move the heating element 2. During installation, the liquid storage assembly 1 contains e-liquid (oil). An air passage 101, arranged along a first direction, is provided within the liquid storage assembly 1. The heating element 2 is movably installed within the air passage 101 along the first direction. The heating element 2 has a liquid inlet channel 21, through which the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage assembly 1 flows into the heating element 2. When the heating element 2 operates, it atomizes the e-liquid (oil), and the resulting vapor is delivered through the air passage 101 for the user to inhale. A drive assembly 3 is connected to the heating element 2, providing power to move the heating element 2 within the air passage 101, allowing the liquid inlet channel 21 of the heating element 2 to contact different positions within the air passage 101 of the liquid storage assembly 1, thus switching between different positions. The liquid inlet channel 21 is either open or closed. With this configuration, when the cartridge structure is used, the drive assembly 3 drives the heating assembly 2 upwards, causing the liquid inlet channel 21 of the heating assembly 2 to contact the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage assembly 1. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) can enter the heating assembly 2 through the liquid inlet channel 21, and the heating assembly 2 operates, atomizing the e-liquid (oil). When the cartridge structure is not used, the drive assembly 3 drives the heating assembly 2 downwards, preventing the liquid inlet channel 21 from contacting the e-liquid (oil) in the liquid storage assembly 1. At this time, the e-liquid (oil) cannot enter the heating assembly 2 through the liquid inlet channel 21. This avoids the risk of leakage (oil) and prevents a negative user experience.
