Description

Extractor of aerosol supply system and aerosol supply system

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of aerosol supply, in particular to an extractor of an aerosol supply system and the aerosol supply system.

Background

An aerosol provision system comprises a heater and an article comprising an aerosol-generating material, the system heating the article by the heater to generate an aerosol for inhalation by a user.

In a part of the aerosol supply system such as a heating non-combustion system of central heating (heating from the inside to the outside of the article), a heater such as a heating pin needs to be inserted into the inside of the article for heating. Since the article is in direct contact with the heater, the article residue may adhere to the heater during heating. In order to reduce residues remaining on the heater, most of these systems are currently provided with extractors to facilitate separation of the product from the heater.

As shown in fig. 1, the aerosol provision system 1 comprises an extractor consisting of a receiver 10 and a sleeve 11, a heater 12 and an article 13. The receiver 10 comprises a tubular body defining a receiving cavity 102 for receiving the article. The other end of the receiving cavity 102 is provided with an aperture 101 for the passage of the heater 12 for insertion into the interior of the article 13 for heating. To secure the article 13 from falling out of the receiving cavity 102 during heating, the receiving cavity 102 is currently sized to tightly grip the article 13. However, when the article 13 is depleted and needs to be pulled out, the clamped arrangement may cause the aerosol-generating material within the article 13 to separate from the wrapper, leaving article residue in the receiving cavity 102 that is not easily cleaned. This can affect the hygiene and performance of the system.

Accordingly, there is an urgent need for a new extractor or aerosol supply system to address one or more of the problems described above.

Disclosure of Invention

The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the application discloses the extractor of the aerosol supply system and the aerosol supply system, which can apply variable clamping force on the product, so that the product can be fixed in the extractor or can be easily removed from the extractor, residue in the system is reduced, and damage to the product and residue caused by the residue are avoided.

In a first aspect, the present application discloses an extractor for an aerosol provision system, the extractor comprising:

a receiver having an opening for receiving an article and a receiving cavity in communication with the opening, and a through-hole extending through a peripheral wall of the receiver, the through-hole having top and bottom ends disposed opposite each other, the top end being closer to the opening than the bottom end;

A receiving groove located outside the through hole along a radial direction of the receiver, the receiving groove having a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along a length direction of the receiver, the first end being closer to the opening than the second end, a projection of the receiving groove in the radial direction at least partially overlapping the through hole;

The clamping piece is arranged in the receiving groove and can move along the length direction of the receiving groove;

When the clamping piece moves along the receiving groove from the first end to the second end, the transverse length of the clamping piece extending into the receiving cavity tends to be larger, and when the clamping piece moves reversely, the transverse length extending into the receiving cavity tends to be smaller.

The application provides a clamping member movable along the receiving slot, and movement of the clamping member along the receiving slot causes a change in the lateral length of the clamping member extending into the receiving cavity for receiving the article. This variation in the lateral length of the protrusion results in a variation in the minimum inner diameter of the receiving chamber, which in turn results in a variation in the clamping force exerted on the article, thereby securing or easily removing the article. Specifically, when the transverse length of the receiving cavity is in a trend of becoming larger, the minimum inner diameter of the receiving cavity is smaller, the clamping piece applies clamping force to the product in the receiving cavity to fix the product so as to prevent the product from falling off from the receiving cavity, when the transverse length of the receiving cavity is in a trend of becoming smaller, the minimum inner diameter of the receiving cavity is larger, and the clamping piece reduces or releases the clamping force to the product in the receiving cavity, so that the product can be easily removed from the receiving cavity, and residues are reduced and remain in the system.

In an embodiment of the extractor of the aerosol provision system of the present application, the receiving slot has a notch facing the through hole, the receiving slot having a guide surface for guiding the movement of the holder, the guide surface extending obliquely outward in a radial direction of the receiver along the direction of extension of the second end towards the first end.

In one embodiment of the extractor of the aerosol provision system of the present application, the extractor further comprises:

The support piece is sleeved on the radial outer side of the receiver.

In one embodiment of the extractor of the aerosol provision system of the present application,

And the support piece is provided with a through hole for the receiver to pass through, and the diameter of the through hole is not larger than the maximum outer diameter of the receiver.

In an embodiment of the extractor of the aerosol provision system of the present application, the circumferential wall of the receiver is provided with a radially outward flange, the receiver having the maximum outer diameter at the location of the flange. By the diameter arrangement of the flange and the via, the receiver can be supported at the support to avoid axial movement of the receiver relative to the support.

In one embodiment of the extractor of the aerosol provision system of the present application, the inner peripheral wall of the support is provided with a guide groove cooperating with the flange, configured to guide the circumferential alignment of the support with the receiver.

In one embodiment of the aerosol provision system of the present application, the system further comprises an article placed in the receiving cavity;

the clamping force applied to the product tends to increase when the clamping piece moves from the first end to the second end, and tends to decrease when the clamping piece moves reversely.

The above one or more aspects of the present invention have at least one or more of the following beneficial effects:

The application provides a clamping member which can move along the receiving groove, and the movement of the clamping member along the receiving groove causes the transverse length of the clamping member extending into the receiving cavity for receiving the product to change, thereby causing the clamping force applied to the product to change. When the transverse length of the receiving cavity is in a trend of becoming larger, the clamping piece increases the clamping force applied to the product in the receiving cavity to fix the product so as to prevent the product from falling off from the receiving cavity, and when the transverse length of the receiving cavity is in a trend of becoming smaller, the clamping piece reduces or releases the clamping force on the product in the receiving cavity, so that the product can be easily removed from the receiving cavity, and residues are reduced in the system.

Additional aspects and advantages of the application will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the application.

In some alternative embodiments, the susceptor is on one or either side of the material.

Consumable product

A consumable is an article comprising or consisting of an aerosol-generating material, part or all of which is intended to be consumed by a user during use. The consumable may comprise one or more other components, such as an aerosol-generating material storage area, an aerosol-generating material delivery component, an aerosol-generating area, a housing, a wrapper, a mouthpiece, a filter, and/or an aerosol modifier. The consumable may also comprise an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which in use releases heat to cause the aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol. The heater may for example comprise a combustible material, a material which is heatable by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

Susceptor

A susceptor is a material that can be heated by penetration with a varying magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field). The susceptor may be an electrically conductive material such that its penetration by a varying magnetic field results in inductive heating of the heating material. The heating material may be a magnetic material such that penetration thereof by a varying magnetic field results in hysteresis heating of the heating material. The susceptor may be electrically conductive and magnetic such that the susceptor may be heated by two heating mechanisms. The device configured to generate a varying magnetic field is referred to herein as a magnetic field generator.

Aerosol modifier

An aerosol-modifying agent is a substance typically located downstream of the aerosol-generating region that is configured to modify the generated aerosol, for example by altering the taste, flavor, acidity or another characteristic of the aerosol. The aerosol modifier may be disposed in an aerosol modifier release member operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, the aerosol modifier may be an additive or an adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifiers may include one or more of fragrances, colorants, water, and carbon adsorbents. For example, the aerosol modifier may be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol modifier may be in powder, wire or particulate form. The aerosol modifier may be free of filter material.

Aerosol generator

An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause the generation of an aerosol from an aerosol-generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to thermal energy in order to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol-generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause generation of an aerosol from the aerosol-generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator may be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems (which may also be referred to as vapor delivery systems), such as nebulizers or e-cigarettes. In the following description, the term "e-cigarette" or "e-cigarette" may be used at times, but it will be understood that this term may be used interchangeably with aerosol delivery system/device and electronic aerosol delivery system/device. Furthermore, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor" and related terms such as "evaporation," "aerosolization," and "aerosolization" are often used interchangeably.

Aerosol delivery systems (e-cigarettes) typically, although not always, comprise a modular assembly comprising a reusable device portion and replaceable (disposable/consumable) cartridge components. Typically, the replaceable cartridge component will include an aerosol-generating material and a vaporiser (which may be collectively referred to as a "vaporiser"), and the reusable device portion will include a power supply (e.g. a rechargeable power supply) and control circuitry. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional elements depending on the function. For example, the reusable device portion will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status features, and the replaceable cartridge device portion in some cases includes a temperature sensor for helping control temperature. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically coupled to the control unit for use, for example using threads, bayonet or magnetic coupling with suitably arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol-generating material in the cartridge is exhausted, or when the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge having a different aerosol-generating material, the cartridge may be removed from the reusable component and a replacement cartridge attached in its place. Systems and devices conforming to this type of two-piece modular configuration may generally be referred to as two-piece systems/devices.

Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. To provide a specific example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system employing disposable cartridges. However, it will be appreciated that the basic principles described herein may equally be applied to different configurations, such as single-piece systems or modular systems comprising more than two parts, refillable devices and single-use disposable articles, as well as other general shapes, for example based on so-called box-mode high performance devices that typically have a box-like shape. More generally, it will be understood that certain embodiments of the present disclosure are based on aerosol delivery systems that are operatively configured to provide functionality in accordance with the principles described herein, and that the constructional aspects of the system configured to provide functionality in accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure are not of primary importance.

As described in the background, based on the need to fix the product, the product is clamped in the receiving chamber of the extractor, but this clamping arrangement causes difficulties in removal of the product and residues of the product in the receiving chamber. The application provides that the receiving chamber of the extractor is provided radially outwards with a receiving groove and with a clamping element which moves along the receiving groove. The clamping member changes the lateral length of the receiving cavity by moving in the receiving slot to change the clamping force applied to the article and to secure the article in the receiving cavity or easily remove the article based on the change in clamping force to reduce residue remaining in the system.

The through hole 213 has a length extending in the length direction of the receiver 210. Specifically, the through hole 213 has a top end 2131 and a bottom end 2132 disposed opposite each other, and the top end 2131 is closer to the first opening 211 than the bottom end 2132 in the length direction of the receiver 210. As shown, the through-holes 213 are configured in a generally elongated shape, and in alternative embodiments, the through-holes 213 may be configured in a spiral shape to match the condition of a spiral insertion of an article.

The extractor 20 further includes a receiving groove 230 located outside the through hole 213 in the radial direction of the receiver 210. The receiving slot 230 has a first end 231 and a second end 232 disposed opposite one another along the length of the receiver 210. Wherein the first end 231 is closer to the first opening 211 than the second end 232. The projection of the receiving groove 230 in the radial direction of the receiver at least partially overlaps the through hole 213, i.e. the receiving groove 230 provides a path extending to the through hole 213.

The extractor 20 further includes a holder 220 disposed within the receiving slot 230 and movable along the length of the receiving slot 230. The aforementioned receiving slot 230 provides a path extending to the through-hole 213, so that movement along the receiving slot 230 may cause the clamp 220 (which may be part of the clamp 220) to pass through the through-hole 213 or move out of the through-hole 213.

The lateral length of the clip 220 extending into the receiving cavity 212 tends to increase as the clip 220 moves along the receiving slot 230 from the first end 231 toward the second end 232, and tends to decrease as the clip moves in the opposite direction.

It will be appreciated that movement of the clamp 220 along the receiving slot 230 results in a change in the lateral length of the clamp 220 extending into the receiving cavity 212. This change in the lateral length of the protrusion corresponds to a change in the minimum inner diameter of the receiving chamber 212, which in turn results in a change in the clamping force applied to the article. That is, when the lateral length of the receiving chamber 212 is in a trend of increasing, the minimum inner diameter of the receiving chamber 212 is reduced, the clamping member 220 increases the clamping force applied to the product in the receiving chamber 212 to fix the product from falling out of the receiving chamber 212, and when the lateral length of the receiving chamber 212 is in a trend of decreasing, the clamping member 220 reduces or releases the clamping force to the product in the receiving chamber, so that the product can be easily removed from the receiving chamber 212, and the possibility of residues remaining in the system is reduced.

As shown in fig. 2-6, the receiver 210 includes a generally cylindrical tube defining a generally cylindrical receiving cavity 212 therein for receiving a correspondingly shaped article, such as a cigarette. In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the receptacle 210 is constant along its length to accommodate articles of constant diameter along the length. In some embodiments, however, the inner diameter of the receptacle 210 varies along its length to accommodate articles of varying diameter along the length. In other embodiments, the outer diameter of the receiver 210 is constant along its length, while the inner diameter varies along its length. Or vice versa, the inner diameter of the receiver 210 is constant along its length, while the outer diameter varies along its length.

The receiver 210 has two opposite ends along the length direction, one end is provided with the first opening 211, and the end far away from the first opening 211 is basically closed. The substantially closed end is provided with one or more apertures 214 (only 1 is shown) such that one or more heating elements of the heater extend from the aperture at the second end into the receiving cavity 212. In addition, the aperture 214 may also serve as an air flow inlet for external air flow into the receiving chamber 212. In an alternative embodiment, such as a peripheral heating, the orifice 214 serves only as an air flow inlet for external air flow into the receiving chamber 212. This substantially closed arrangement is advantageous for extraction of the product, avoiding product residues falling from the end into the system. In addition, the substantially closed end may provide support to the article in the axial direction to facilitate removal of the article from the heater inserted therein.

As an alternative to the eyelet 214, the end of the receptacle 210 may be fully enclosed, but provided with one or more penetrable regions thereon for the puncturing of one or more heating elements of the heater for insertion into the receiving cavity 212.

For systems employing circumferential heating, the heater is positioned circumferentially around the receiver 210 and does not need to extend into the receiving cavity 212. The end of the receptacle 210 remote from the first opening 211 may thus be fully closed and not provided with a penetrable region.

The receiver 210 may be provided with an air inlet for external air flow into the receiving chamber 212. As previously mentioned, the airflow inlet may be the aperture 214 described above. In alternative embodiments, the airflow inlet may be provided in the peripheral wall of the receptacle 210. However, it should be understood that the air flow inlet may be provided at any suitable location, as the application is not limited in this regard.

In the example shown in fig. 2 to 6, the receiving groove 230 has a notch 233 provided toward the through hole 213. The receiving groove 230 has a guide surface for guiding the movement of the clamping member 220, which extends obliquely outward in the radial direction of the receiver 210 along the direction of extension of the second end 232 toward the first end 231. Based on this arrangement, the clamping member 220 moves along the guide surface from the first end 231 toward the second end 232 in a tendency to get closer to the receiving cavity 212 as a whole, so that its lateral length extending into the receiving cavity 212 through the through hole 213 tends to increase. Conversely, as the clip 220 moves along the guide surface from the second end 232 toward the first end 231, the clip generally tends to move farther and farther away from the receiving cavity 212, such that the lateral length thereof extending into the receiving cavity 212 through the through-hole 213 tends to decrease.

The receiving slot 230 is shown having a slot bottom 234, slot side walls 235 extending from the slot bottom 234, and a slot opening 233. The guide surface of the application has a plurality of possible positioning arrangements based on this. Some of which are provided below.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 2-5, the guide surface is a slot sidewall 235 of the receiving slot 230. Specifically, a rail 2351 may be provided on the slot sidewall 235. The track 2351 is angled to define a guide surface that is angled in a radial direction of the receiver 210. Specifically, clip 220 has guide 221 inserted into track 2351, and clip 220 is moved along slot sidewall 235 by movement of guide 221 along track 2351. In this embodiment, the groove bottom 234 of the receiving groove 230 may be provided as one vertical surface in the length direction.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, the guide surface is a groove bottom 234 of the receiving groove 230. I.e. the groove bottom 234 itself is a radially inclined surface of the receiver 210. Further, as shown in fig. 6, a rail 2351 is provided on the side wall of the groove, and the clip 220 has a guide 221 inserted into the rail 2351, and the clip 220 moves along the receiving groove 230 by the movement of the guide 221 along the rail 2351. The cooperation of the slide 2351 with the guide 221 provides a specific movement structure for the clamp 220. This configuration prevents the clip 220 from falling out of the notch of the receiving slot 230. It will be appreciated that the track 2351 has substantially the same sloped path as the groove bottom 234.

In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the guide surface inclined in the radial direction of the receiver 210 is an end surface where the notch 233 of the receiving groove 230 is located.

In addition to the above-described modifications, in the embodiment of the present application, the guide surface of the receiving groove 230 may be a plane surface or a curved surface. Further, the guide surface may be a smooth surface or a corrugated surface to provide a desired small resistance by the corrugations and to give the user a suitable feeling of resistance based on the small resistance.

In the present application, the receiving slot 230 has a plurality of possible connection arrangements with the receiver 210.

In one approach, the receiving slot 230 is provided independently of the receiver 210. Such as by providing support for the receiving slot 230 by additional brackets to position the receiving slot 230 radially outward of the receiver 210.

In one form, only a portion of the receiving slot 230 is coupled to the outer wall of the receiver 210, the portion including the second end 232. If only the second end 232 is connected to the outer wall of the receiver 210, the first end 231 of the receiving slot 230 and the portion between the first end 231 and the second end 232 are spaced apart from the outer wall of the receiver 210. If only the first end 231 is a free end, the second end 232 and the portion between the first end 231 and the second end 232 are connected to the outer wall of the receiver 210.

In another way, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, the entire end surface where the notch 233 of the receiving groove 230 is located is connected to the outer wall of the receiver 210. Based on this arrangement, the receiving cavity 212 communicates with the receiving groove 230 to form a larger chamber, and the chamber remains sealed in the circumferential direction, avoiding the escape of hot air, and improving the heating efficiency. In this manner, the end face of the notch 233 of the receiving groove 230 may be connected to the outer wall of the edge of the through hole 213 of the receiver 210, or may be connected to the outer wall of the edge of the through hole 213 of the receiver 210.

As shown in fig. 2 to 6, in an embodiment in which the entire end surface where the notch 233 of the receiving groove 230 is located is connected to the outer wall of the receiver 210, the first end 231 of the receiving groove 230 communicates with the first opening 211.

As shown in fig. 2 to 6, a stopper 2352 is formed on the slide rail 2351 at a position adjacent to the first end 231 in the length direction of the receiving groove 230, and the holder 220 is defined to be moved out of the receiving groove 230 from the first end 231.

Further, a stop is formed on the rail 2351 adjacent to the second end 232 along the length of the receiving slot 230 to limit the movement of the clip 220 out of the receiving slot 230 from the second end 232.

In an embodiment of the present application, the receiving groove 230 may be provided in one or more. To provide a more stable clamping force to the article, in some embodiments, the receiving slots 230 are provided in at least two and circumferentially spaced apart along the receptacle 210. More preferably, at least two of the receiving grooves 230 may be disposed symmetrically in a radial direction of the receiving cavity 212 to provide a symmetrical clamping force to the article.

In the present application, the through-hole 213 and the receiving slot 230 have a variety of possible shape arrangements and shape fits. In one way, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, the through hole 213 and the receiving groove 230 are each provided in a long strip shape.

In the present application, the holder 220 may be disposed in a rolling movement or a sliding movement with respect to the receiving groove 230. For example, the clamping member 220 may be provided as a ball or roller as shown in fig. 2 to 6. The roller may specifically be a friction wheel. For example, the clamping member 220 may be provided as a slider.

The outermost layer of the article is typically a thin wrapper and in the preferred embodiment of the application, the side of the holder 220 facing the receiving chamber 212 is configured as a flexible side to minimize wear to the article wrapper.

In some embodiments of the present application, the clamping member 220 is configured as a resilient clamping member. This is advantageous for receiving different sized articles in the receiving chamber 212 where the resilient clip may be compressed in the radial direction of the receiving chamber 212 to reduce the thickness extending into the receiving chamber 212 when the article diameter is large and may be stretched in the radial direction of the receiving chamber 212 to extend more thickness into the receiving chamber 212 when the article diameter is small.

In some embodiments of the application, the extractor further comprises a support to provide support to the receiver in the length direction.

Fig. 7 illustrates a perspective structure of an extractor including a support member provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 8 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the extractor illustrated in fig. 7 in one view. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the extractor 20 includes a support 240 that is positioned radially outward of the receptacle 210 to provide support to the receptacle in the longitudinal direction.

The support 240 includes a base 241, through which a via 243 is provided for the receiver 210 to pass, the via 243 having a diameter not greater than the maximum outer diameter of the receiver 210, thereby providing upward (toward the first opening 211) support to the receiver 210. The receiving groove 230 is provided with a flange radially outwardly of the receiver 210, the receiver 210 having the maximum outer diameter at the location of the flange. The flange forms a stop for the receiver 210 to pass through the aperture 243. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the flange may be defined by a receiving slot 230 provided in connection with the receiver 210.

The support 240 further includes a peripheral wall 242 extending from the base 241. The base 241 and the peripheral wall 242 define a support cavity that accommodates the portion of the receiver 210. The end of support 240 remote from base 241 is an open end face for the entrance of receiver 210 into the support cavity. The inner side of the peripheral wall 242 is provided with a guide groove 2421 that cooperates with a flange such as the receiving groove 230, configured to guide the circumferential alignment of the support 240 with the receiver 210.

Taking the extractor structure shown in fig. 2 to 5 as an example, the use of the extractor will be described in conjunction with the movement of the holder in the receiving groove. Fig. 9 to 11 are schematic views of the position of the clamping member in different states.

In the initial position, as shown in fig. 9, the clip 220 rests on the bottom of the receiving slot 230 in the longitudinal direction of the rail 2351 when the article 30, such as a cigarette, is not inserted or has just been inserted into the receiving cavity 212.

In the heating position, as shown in fig. 10, the article 30 is fully inserted into the receiving cavity 212 and is in contact with the bottom of the receiving cavity 212. At this time, the holding member 220 stays at the bottom of the slide 2351 in the longitudinal direction, and the product 30 is held in the receiving chamber 212 by the holding force applied by the holding member 220. The position is the same or substantially the same as the initial position. In this position the article 30 is clamped and the receiver 210 is in contact with an underlying heater (not shown) and heating may be initiated. This position may therefore be referred to as a heating position.

Extraction position as shown in fig. 11, the product 30 is lifted when the product 30 is fully depleted or when the user believes the product 30 is to be fully depleted. Based on the frictional force between the article 30 and the clamp 220, the clamp 220 is lifted simultaneously and moved radially outward while lifted, the clamping force gradually decreasing. Until after the article 30 is disengaged from the clamp 220, the clamp 220 releases the clamping force on the article 30. The article 30 can now be easily removed from the receiving cavity 212.

After the article 30 is removed from the receiving cavity 212, the clamp 220 returns to the initial position based on gravity.

It should be noted that the structures and working processes shown in fig. 2 to 11 are only examples of one structure and working process of the extractor. Other possible variations may also be included in other embodiments of the application. If the elastic element can be arranged so that the initial position of the clamping element is the same or approximately the same as the extraction position, the clamping element is driven to move to the heating position during the process of inserting the product into the receiving cavity.
