As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an atomizing apparatus 1, which is configured to combine with a power supply apparatus 2 to form an atomizing device. It can be understood that the atomizing device is configured to atomize to-be-atomized solution stored therein into an atomized state, so that users can use, take, or inhale conveniently.

A heating wire and an atomizing chamber for storing the to-be-atomized solution are disposed in the atomizing apparatus 1. In the embodiments, the to-be-atomized solution includes but is not limited to e-cigarette liquids with different flavors and medical liquids with different therapeutic effects. Since the atomizing apparatus 1 is detachably mounted on the power supply apparatus 2, users can replace the atomizing apparatus 1 or the to-be-atomized solution to meet different use requirements.
The details are described below with specific implementations.
The atomizing apparatus 1 of the embodiments includes: an atomizing housing 11 and an atomizing assembly 14.
The atomizing housing 11 is defined with a vapor outlet 110 communicating with the interior of the atomizing housing 11. It can be understood that, the atomizing housing 11 is configured to protect the atomizing assembly 14, and is defined with the vapor outlet 110 for discharging vapor. The atomizing housing 11 is of a hollow structure, which facilitates to place the atomizing assembly 14 therein.
The atomizing assembly 14 is disposed inside the atomizing housing 11, and is configured to output vapor. It can be understood that the atomizing assembly 14 is configured to atomize the to-be-atomized solution placed therein into vapor, and output the vapor to the vapor outlet 110.
The atomizing housing 11 is provided with a docking post 12 configured to be inserted into a docking slot 21 of the power supply apparatus 2, and a guiding structure 13 arranged on a side surface of the docking post 12 along a circumferential direction of the docking post 12. The guiding structure 13 includes a guiding curved surface 131. The guiding curved surface 131 is projecting or concave inward in an axial direction of the docking post 12 with respect to the power supply apparatus 2. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the atomizing assembly 14 is provided with an atomizing electrical contact 121, which is configured to abut against a power supply electrical contact 211 of the power supply apparatus 2. The atomizing electrical contact 121 is exposed out of a bottom surface of the docking post 12 facing away from the vapor outlet 110. It can be understood that the atomizing housing 11 is provided with the docking post 12 and the guiding structure 13. The docking post 12 is configured to be inserted into the docking slot 21 of the power supply apparatus 2, and the guiding structure 13 is configured to adjust a relative angle between the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21, allowing the atomizing electrical contact 121 to directly face and abut against the power supply electrical contact 211. In some embodiments, the docking post 12 has a post structure, and is in clearance fit with the docking slot 21, so that the docking post 12 can rotate around an axis after it is inserted into the docking slot 21, thereby enabling adjustment of the relative angle between the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21. In order to allow the docking post 12 to automatically adjust the angle relative to the docking slot 21 to make the atomizing electrical contact 121 directly face and abut against the power supply electrical contact 211, the guiding structure 13 is provided with the guiding curved surface 131, and the power supply apparatus 2 is provided with a mating curved surface 201 for fitting with the guiding curved surface 131. In case the guiding curved surface 131 is misaligned with the mating curved surface 201, and the two are close to each other, the mating curved surface 201 can guide the guiding curved surface 131 to move. Specifically, under the action of gravity, the inclined guiding curved surface 131 slips and rotates, until the guiding curved surface 131 is completely in concave-convex fit with the mating curved surface 201. In this case, the relative angle between the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21 is adjusted, allowing the atomizing electrical contact 121 to directly face and abut against the power supply electrical contact 211. In this way, the guiding curved surface 131 can correct the relative angle between the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2.
It should be noted that the power supply electrical contact 211 and the atomizing electrical contact 121 include but are not limited to conductive pins or conductive sheets. The conductive pins may be elastic. In the embodiments, when the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2 have corrected their relative angle by the mutual cooperation of the guiding curved surface 131 and the mating curved surface 201, and at that time the power supply electrical contact 211 and the atomizing electrical contact 121 are squarely facing each other and abutting against each other, both the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2 are fixedly connected by way of an interference fit, thereby realizing relative fixation of the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the assembly principle of the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2 is as follows:
The user, who holds the power supply apparatus 2 in one hand and the atomizing apparatus 1 in the other hand, inserts the docking post 12 into the docking slot 21. At this time, the atomizing apparatus 1 is located above the power supply apparatus 2, and the atomizing apparatus 1 is guided under gravity to move along a depth direction of the docking slot 21. During the movement of the atomizing apparatus 1, the guiding curved surface 131 interacts with the mating curved surface 201 to adjust the relative angle between the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2. When the guiding curved surface 131 is in complete concave-convex fit with the mating curved surface 201, the atomizing electrical contact 121 and the power supply electrical contact 211 are squarely facing each other and abutting against each other, achieving the electrical connection between the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2. It should be noted that in case the atomizing apparatus 1 fails to be guided under its gravity to move along the depth direction of the docking slot 21, the user may manually press and rotate the atomizing apparatus 1. In this case, a complete mating between the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2 can be achieved by only rotating the atomizing apparatus 1 less than half a turn.
By adopting the above technical solution:
First, the atomizing apparatus 1 is defined with the guiding structure 13, and the guiding structure 13 is provided with the guiding curved surface 131 capable of guiding the atomizing apparatus 1 to rotate with respect to the power supply apparatus 2, so that the atomizing apparatus 1 can be aligned with the power supply apparatus 2 under its own gravity or a pressure provided by a user to realize the electrical connection therebetween. Thus, it is convenient to operate.
Second, the guiding structure 13 is arranged on the side surface of the docking post 12 and is exposed out of the docking slot 21, so that the user can clearly observe whether the guiding curved surface 131 is in complete fitting with the mating curved surface 201 without multiple times of rotation and adjustment. This improves the user experience.
Last, the atomizing electrical contact 121 is exposed out of the bottom surface of the docking post 12, so that the atomizing electrical contact 121 can always rotate in the same plane, which facilitates the connection of the atomizing electrical contact 121 and the power supply electrical contact 211.
In some embodiments, at least two guiding structures 13 are symmetrically arranged on the docking post 12. Alternatively, a plurality of guiding structures 13 are uniformly arranged on the docking post 12 along the circumferential direction of the docking post 12.
The guiding structures 13 are defined with the guiding curved surfaces 131, that is, the guiding curved surfaces 131 are symmetrically arranged on the docking post 12, or are uniformly arranged on the docking post 12 along the axial direction of the docking post 12. It can be understood that, correspondingly, the power supply apparatus 2 is defined with mating curved surfaces 201 that are in one-to-one correspondence with the guiding curved surfaces 131.
By adopting the above technical solution, the user can insert the docking post 12 into the docking slot 21 at any relative angle, and the guiding curved surfaces 131 can be guided on the corresponding mating curved surfaces 201. Even if there is a slight misalignment between the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21, the misalignment can be adjusted in time.
In some embodiments, the atomizing apparatus 1 further includes a magnetic component 3, which is configured to adhere to a magnetic mating component 4 of the power supply apparatus 2, and drive the guiding structures 13 to align with the power supply apparatus 2. The magnetic component 3 is disposed on the bottom surface of the docking post 12 or the side surface of the docking post 12. Alternatively, the bottom surface of the docking post 12 is defined with an opening for exposing the atomizing assembly 14, and the magnetic component 3 is disposed on the atomizing assembly 14.
It can be understood that the magnetic component 3 is configured to mate with the magnetic mating component 4 disposed on a bottom or a wall of the docking slot 21. Specifically, in case the magnetic component 3 is disposed on the bottom surface of the docking post 12 or the bottom surface of the atomizing assembly 14, the magnetic mating component 4 is disposed on the bottom of the docking slot 21. When the atomizing apparatus 1 is docked with the power supply apparatus 2, that is, when the docking post 12 is inserted into the docking slot 21, the magnetic mating component 4 adheres to the magnetic component 3 to drive the docking post 12 to move along the depth direction of the docking slot 21. In this way, a complete fitting between the guiding curved surfaces 131 and the mating curved surfaces 201 can be achieved without any other external force, thereby allowing the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2 to adjust to an appropriate angle. In case the magnetic component 3 is disposed on the side surface of the docking post 12, the magnetic mating component 4 is disposed on the wall of the docking slot 21. In this case, the magnetic cooperation between the magnetic component 3 and the magnetic mating component 4 cannot guide the docking post 12 to move along the depth direction of the docking slot 21, but can assist in positioning the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21 at a relative angle.
By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic component 3 can guide or assist in adjusting the relative angle between the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2, thereby improving the user experience.
In some embodiments, at least two magnetic components 3 are symmetrically arranged on the docking post 12 or the atomizing assembly 14. Alternatively, a plurality of magnetic components 3 are uniformly arranged on the docking post 12 or the atomizing assembly 14 along the circumferential direction. It can be understood that the relative position of the magnetic components 3 with respect to the atomizing electrical contact 121 is fixed, and the relative position of the magnetic mating components 4 with respect to the power supply electrical contact 211 is fixed. In this way, in case the magnetic component 3 and the magnetic mating component 4 attract each other and directly faces each other, the atomizing electrical contact 121 directly faces and abuts against the power supply electrical contact.
By adopting the above technical solution, the user can insert the docking post 12 into the docking slot 21 at any relative angle, and the magnetic component 3 can fit well with the magnetic mating component 4. Even if there is a slight misalignment between the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21, the misalignment can be adjusted in time.

In an embodiment, a height of the docking post 12 is 25 mm to 35 mm.
Preferably, the height of the docking post 12 is 25 mm to 35 mm. Illustratively, the height of the docking post 12 is 28 mm, 30 mm, or 32 mm.
By adopting the above technical solution, the docking post 12 with the above height is convenient for users to hold, and is conducive to the insertion/removal of the docking post 12 into/from the docking slot 21.
In an embodiment, a diameter of the docking post 12 ranges from 10 mm to 20 mm.
Preferably, the diameter of the docking post 12 ranges from 13 mm to 15 mm. Illustratively, the diameter of the docking post 12 is 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, or 18 mm.
By adopting the above technical solution, the docking post 12 can define a suitable atomizing chamber, which is conducive to providing suitable vapor, and is also conducive to the insertion/removal of the docking post 12 into/from the docking slot 21.
According to a second aspect, an atomizing device is provided, which includes a power supply apparatus 2 and the foregoing atomizing apparatus 1. The power supply apparatus 2 includes a power supply housing 22 and a power supply member 23 disposed inside the power supply housing 22. The top of the power supply housing 22 is defined with the docking slot 21 configured to receive the docking post 12. The power supply member 23 is provided with the power supply electrical contact 211. The power supply electrical contact 211 is exposed out of the docking slot 21.
In some embodiments, the mating curved surface 201 for mating with the guiding curved surface 131 is defined at the top of the power supply housing 22. The mating curved surface 201 adapts to the shape of the guiding curved surface 131. In case the guiding convex surface is convex toward the power supply apparatus 2, the mating curved surface 201 is an inward concave curved surface; and in case the guiding convex surface is concave toward the power supply apparatus 2, the mating curved surface 201 is a convex curved surface.
By adopting the above technical solution, based on the arrangement of the atomizing apparatus 1, the embodiment also has the advantages of easy operation and good user experience.
In some embodiments, a side wall of the docking slot 21 is inclined, and the docking post 12 has a wedge-shaped structure fitting with the docking slot 21.
By adopting the above technical solution, the docking post 12 fits the docking slot 21, so that the docking post 12 can be tightly fitted with the docking slot 21 after being completely inserted into the docking slot 21, thereby achieving sealing therebetween. This avoids external gases from entering into the interior of the atomizing device, which may further prevent the gas sensor from sensing failure.
In some embodiments, the magnetic mating component 4 mating with the magnetic component 3 is disposed on the bottom or the wall of the docking slot 21.
In case the magnetic component 3 is disposed on the bottom surface of the docking post 12 or the bottom surface of the atomizing assembly 14, the magnetic mating component 4 is disposed on the bottom of the docking slot 21. When the atomizing apparatus 1 is docked with the power supply apparatus 2, that is, when the docking post 12 is inserted into the docking slot 21, the magnetic mating component 4 adheres to the magnetic component 3 to drive the docking post 12 to move along the depth direction of the docking slot 21. In this way, a complete fitting between the guiding curved surface 131 and the mating curved surface 201 can be achieved without any other external force, thereby allowing the atomizing apparatus 1 and the power supply apparatus 2 to adjust to an appropriate angle. In case the magnetic component 3 is disposed on the side surface of the docking post 12, the magnetic mating component 4 is disposed on the wall of the docking slot 21. In this case, the magnetic cooperation between the magnetic component 3 and the magnetic mating component 4 cannot guide the docking post 12 to move along the depth direction of the docking slot 21, but can assist in positioning the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21 at a relative angle.
By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic mating component 4 can be mated with the magnetic component 3, so that the atomizing apparatus 1 can be guided or assisted to adjust the angle relative to the power supply apparatus 2, thereby improving the user experience.
In some embodiments, a guiding convex part 212 is provided on either one of the bottom of the docking slot 21 and the docking end of the docking post 12 docking with the docking slot 21, and a guiding concave part 122 is provided on the other one of the bottom of the docking slot 21 and the docking end of the docking post 12 docking with the docking slot 21. The guiding convex part 212 abuts against the guiding concave part 122, to allow the docking post 12 to sealingly abut against the docking slot 21.
It can be understood that the bottom of the power supply apparatus 2 is provided with a gas sensor electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 14. When a user inhales at the vapor outlet 110, the gas sensor may be triggered, which further triggers the atomizing assembly 14 to produce the vapor. The sealed state needs to be maintained between the docking post 12 and the docking slot 21, to ensure that the gas sensor is triggered in time, thereby improving the reliability of the gas sensor.
The above description merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure.
