  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The following detailed description of example implementations refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.
  • A user may use a vaporizer device to inhale vapor generated by the vaporizer device. For example, the vaporizer device may heat a solution to generate vapor that can then be inhaled by the user. In some cases, the vaporizer device may generate vapor having a temperature that causes the inhalation process to be unpleasant for the user, that causes the inhalation process to be impossible for the user, and/or the like. As a result, the usability and/or efficacy of the vaporizer device may be negatively affected.
  • Some implementations described herein provide a cooling device that permits a temperature of a flow of vapor, generated by an atomizer device of a vaporizer device, to be reduced during operation of the vaporizer device. For example, and as described elsewhere herein, the cooling device may include a set of baffles and a set of internal structures that are configured to direct and/or impede a flow of vapor to permit the flow of vapor to experience a reduction in temperature as the flow of vapor is disposed within the cooling device. In this way, some implementations described herein improve a user experience associated with vaporizer devices, improve usability of vaporizer devices, improve practicality of vaporizer devices, improve efficacy of vaporizer devices, reduce a need for water-cooling of the vapor, and/or the like.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram of an example vaporizer device 100 described herein. As shown in FIG. 1, vaporizer device 100 may include a mouthpiece 102, a cooling device 104, an atomizer device 106, and a battery 108. Vaporizer device 100 may include a device that is configured to vaporize a material to permit a user to inhale vapor associated with the material. For example, vaporizer device 100 may include a vaporizer, a nebulizer, an electronic cigarette, and/or any other type of inhalation device.
  • The material may include a solution, an oil, a liquid, a solid, a mixture, and/or the like. For example, the ingredient may include one or more of propylene glycol, glycerol, water, nicotine, a flavoring, a chemical, and/or the like. While implementations herein describe vaporization of a material to generate a vapor, it should be understood that implementations described herein are applicable to other types of devices that generate other types of substances such as aerosols, gases, mist, and/or the like.
  • Mouthpiece 102 may include a device that is configured to permit a user to inhale vapor generated by vaporizer device 100.

Mouthpiece 102 may be comprised of a material such as polycarbonate plastic, polyethylene plastic, polypropylene plastic, polystyrene plastic, an aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy, a carbon fiber plastic, glass, ceramic, and/or the like.
  • Cooling device 104 includes a device that is configured to cause a reduction in temperature of vapor generated by vaporizer device 100. For example, vapor generated by atomizer device 106 may enter cooling device 104 via an inlet end, may experience a reduction in temperature while being disposed within cooling device 104, and may exit cooling device 104 via an outlet end.
  • Cooling device 104 may be comprised of a material such as polycarbonate plastic, polyethylene plastic, polypropylene plastic, polystyrene plastic, an aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy, a carbon fiber plastic, glass, ceramic, and/or the like. Further, cooling device 104 may be comprised of any type of material that is associated with thermal conductivity properties that permit a reduction in temperature of vapor that passes through cooling device 104. For example, cooling device 104 may be comprised of any type of material, or a set of materials, that permits heat of vapor to be absorbed and/or dissipated by cooling device 104. Cooling device 104 may be referred to as a cooling device, a device, a cap, a cooling cap, a cooling drip cap, a multi-pass cooling drip cap, a multi-pass device, and/or the like.
  • Atomizer device 106 may include a device that is configured to vaporize a material to generate vapor. For example, atomizer device 106 may include an atomizer, a cartomizer, a clearomizer, and/or the like.

For example, atomizer device 106 may include a top coil, a top feeding coil, a bottom coil, and/or the like. The set of coils may be comprised of stainless steel, nickel, and/or the like.
  • Battery 108 includes a device that is configured to provide electric power to atomizer device 106. For example, battery 108 may include a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, and/or the like.
  • During operation of vaporizer device 100, battery 108 may provide electric power to atomizer device 106. Atomizer device 106 (e.g., the set of coils of atomizer device 106) may generate heat which causes vaporization of a material. The vapor may pass through cooling device 104 and mouthpiece 102, thereby permitting a user to inhale the vapor generated by atomizer device 106.
  • Vaporizer device 100 may be substantially cylindrical in shape. As a non-limiting example, vaporizer device 100 may include a diameter of fourteen (14) millimeters (mm) and a length of one hundred and fifteen (115) mm. Continuing the example, mouthpiece 102 may include a diameter of fourteen (14) mm, and a length of fifteen (15) mm.

  • While an example shape and example dimensions are shown and/or described in association with FIG. 1, it should be understood that implementations described herein are applicable to other vaporizer devices 100 including different shapes, configurations, devices, and/or dimensions.
  • Although FIG. 1 shows an example vaporizer device 100, vaporizer device 100 may include additional devices, fewer devices, different devices, or differently arranged devices than those depicted in FIG. 1. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more devices of vaporizer device 100 may be combined as a single device.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B are diagrams of a cross section 200 of cooling device 104.

As further shown in FIG. 2B, a portion 222 of mouthpiece 102 may include an outer diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of sidewall 216 of cooling device 104, thereby permitting portion 222 of mouthpiece 102 to be inserted into cooling device 104. In this way, O-ring 218 of cooling device 104 may mate with notch 220 to connect cooling device 104 and mouthpiece 102. Alternatively, mouthpiece 102 may connect to cooling device 104 via another type of connection mechanism.
  • As further shown in FIG. 2A, first baffle 206 may include a structure that is configured to direct a flow of vapor. As further shown in FIG. 2B, first baffle 206 may include a first inlet edge 206 a, a first outlet edge 206 b, a first inner surface 206 c, and a first outer surface 206 d.
  • First baffle 206 may include a frustoconical shape, a conical shape, a pyramidal shape, and/or the like. For example, first baffle 206 may taper inwardly from inlet end 202 towards outlet end 204. Alternatively, first baffle 206 may include a substantially cylindrical shape, may not taper inwardly, and/or may include another type of shape.
  • As further shown in FIG. 2A, first internal surface 208 may include a structure that is configured to impede a flow of vapor. For example, first internal surface 208 may include a substantially horizontally disposed internal surface that is configured to impede a flow of vapor. As further shown in FIG. 2B, first internal surface 208 may include a first bottom surface 208 a and a first top surface 208 b.
  • As further shown in FIG. 2A, second baffle 210 may include a structure that is configured to direct a flow of vapor. As further shown in FIG. 2B, second baffle 210 may include a second inlet edge 210 a, a second outlet edge 210 b, a second inner surface 210 c, and a second outer surface 210 d.
  • Second baffle 210 may include a frustoconical shape, a conical shape, a pyramidal shape, and/or the like. For example, second baffle 210 may taper outwardly from outlet end 204 towards inlet end 202. Alternatively, second baffle 210 may include a substantially cylindrical shape, may not taper inwardly, and/or may include another type of shape.
  • First baffle 206 and second baffle 210 may include corresponding shapes. For example, and as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, first baffle 206 and second baffle 210 may both include a frustoconical shape. Alternatively, first baffle 206 and second baffle 210 may include different shapes than as compared to one another. For example, first baffle 206 may include a frustonical shape whereas second baffle 210 may include a circular shape. It should be understood that many other types of configurations are possible.
  • As further shown in FIG. 2A, second internal surface 212 may include a structure that is configured to impede a flow of vapor. For example, second internal surface 212 may include a substantially horizontally disposed internal surface that is configured to impede a flow of vapor. As further shown in FIG. 2B, second internal surface 212 may include a second bottom surface 212 a and a second top surface 212 b.
  • As further shown in FIG. 2A, internal opening 214 may include a structure that is configured to permit a flow of vapor to pass through cooling device 104 from inlet end 202 to outlet end 204. First internal surface 208 may include a set of internal openings 214 that permit a flow of vapor to pass through cooling device 104. For example, first internal surface 208 may include a single internal opening 214, two internal openings 214, five internal openings 214, etc.
  • During operation of vaporizer device 100, a user may interact with vaporizer device 100 to cause atomizer device 106 to generate vapor. Additionally, the user may interact with mouthpiece 102 to generate suction to cause a flow of vapor from atomizer device 106 towards mouthpiece 102.
  • The flow of vapor may enter cooling device 104 via inlet end 202 of cooling device 104. For example, the flow of vapor may flow in a first direction towards outlet end 204 and away from inlet end 202. The vapor, when entering cooling device 104, may include a temperature that is substantially the same temperature as when atomizer device 106 generated the vapor.
  • First baffle 206 may direct the flow of vapor towards first internal surface 208 based on the flow of vapor entering cooling device 104 via inlet end 202. For example, first inner surface 206 c of first baffle 206 may direct the flow of vapor in the first direction towards first bottom surface 208 a of first internal surface 208. Additionally, second bottom surface 212 a of second internal surface 212 may direct the flow of vapor towards first bottom surface 208 a of first internal surface 208 based on the flow of vapor entering cooling device 104 via inlet end 202.
  • First internal surface 208 may impede the flow of vapor based on first baffle 206 directing the flow of vapor towards first internal surface 208. For example, first bottom surface 208 a of first internal surface 208 may impede the flow of vapor, thereby reducing a velocity of the flow of vapor in the first direction. In this way, some implementations described herein increase an amount of time, measured from a first time at which the flow of vapor exits atomizer device 106 and a second time at which the flow of vapor enters mouthpiece 102, than as compared to situations where the flow of vapor is relatively unimpeded. By increasing the amount of time, some implementations described herein permit a reduction in temperature of the vapor.
  • First baffle 206 and second baffle 210 may direct the flow of vapor towards second internal surface 212 based on first internal surface 208 impeding the flow of vapor. For example, first outer surface 206 d of first baffle 206 and second inner surface 210 c of second baffle 210 may direct the flow of vapor towards second top surface 212 b of second internal surface 212 based on first bottom surface 208 a of first internal surface 208 impeding the flow of vapor in the first direction. Additionally, first baffle 206 and second baffle 210 may direct the flow of vapor in a second direction towards inlet end 202 and away from outlet end 204. Put another way, the flow of vapor may flow in the second direction between first outer surface 206 d of first baffle 206 and second inner surface 210c of second baffle 210.
  • In this way, some implementations described herein increase an amount of surface area of thermally conductive material that contacts the flow of vapor. Additionally, in this way, some implementations described herein permit a reduction in temperature of the vapor by permitting heat to be absorbed and/or dissipated by first baffle 206, first internal surface 208, second baffle 210, and/or second internal surface 212.
  • Second internal surface 212 may impede the flow of vapor based on first baffle 206 and second baffle 210 directing the flow of vapor towards second internal surface 212. For example, second top surface 212 b of second internal surface 212 may impede the flow of vapor, thereby reducing a velocity of the flow of vapor in the second direction. In this way, some implementations described herein permit a further increase in an amount of time during which the flow of vapor is disposed within cooling device 104 and/or is in contact with thermally conductive surfaces of cooling device 104, thereby permitting further reduction in temperature of the flow of vapor.
  • Second baffle 210 and sidewall 216 of cooling device 104 may direct the flow of vapor towards internal opening 214 based on the flow of vapor being impeded by second internal surface 212. For example, second outer surface 210 d of second baffle 210 and sidewall 216 may direct the flow of vapor towards internal opening 214 based on the flow of vapor being impeded by second top surface 212 b of second internal surface 212. Put another way, the flow of vapor may flow in the second direction between second outer surface 210 d of second baffle 210 and sidewall 216.
  • Second baffle 210 may taper inwardly from second inlet edge 210 a towards second outlet edge 210 b. In this way, some implementations described herein permit expansion of vapor as the flow of vapor flows from second internal surface 212 towards internal opening 214. In other words, a volumetric area between sidewall 216 and second baffle 210 may be greater at a position near internal opening 214 than as compared to another position near second internal surface 212. Put yet another way, a first horizontal distance between sidewall 216 and second outlet edge 210 b of second baffle 210 may be greater than a second horizontal distance between sidewall 216 and second inlet edge 210 a of second baffle 210. By permitting expansion of the vapor, some implementations described herein permit further reduction in temperature of the flow of vapor.
  • By permitting expansion of the vapor towards outlet end 204 of second baffle 210 with diverging sidewalls, the vapor additionally slows in speed. This may increase the time that the vapor stays in the cooling chamber (i.e., cooling device 104) and allows for additional time for thermal conduction. Second baffle 210 may be referred to as a diffuser. In other words, second baffle 210 may taper inwardly towards outlet end 204 thereby forming a diffuser.
  • The flow of vapor may flow through internal opening 214 based on being directed in the second direction by second baffle 210 and sidewall 216. In this way, the flow of vapor may exit cooling device 104 via outlet end 204 and enter mouthpiece 102. A temperature of the vapor when the vapor exits cooling device 104 may be less than a temperature of the vapor when the vapor entered cooling device 104. Thereby, some implementations described herein may improve usability of vaporizer device 100, enhance a user experience associated with vaporizer device 100, improve efficacy of vaporizer device 100, and/or the like.
  • Additionally, in this way, a temperature of the vapor may be reduced without requiring water, or another type of cooling material, to be used to reduce the temperature of the vapor. Thereby, some implementations described herein improve the design of vaporizer devices, improve a user experience associated with vaporizer devices, reduce the size of vaporizer devices, reduce the need for maintenance of vaporizer devices, and/or the like.
  • While a particular configuration is shown and/or described in association with FIGS. 2A and 2B, it should be understood that implementations described herein are applicable to other configurations than as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B.
  • Although FIGS. 2A and 2B show an example cooling device 104, cooling device 104 may include additional components, fewer components, different components, or differently arranged components than those depicted in FIGS. 2A and 2B. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more components of cooling device 104 may be combined as a single component.
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view 300 of cooling device 104. As shown in FIG. 3, a first, and outermost, concentric circle 316 may correspond to sidewall 216 of cooling device 104. As further shown in FIG. 3, a second concentric circle 312 a may correspond to second bottom surface 212a of second internal surface 212. As further shown in FIG. 3, a third concentric circle 306 c may correspond to first inner surface 206 c of first baffle 206. As further shown in FIG. 3, a fourth, and innermost, concentric circle 308 a may correspond to a portion of first bottom surface 208 a of first internal surface 208 that is visible through first baffle 206.
  • While FIG. 3 depicts a particular configuration of cooling device 104, it should be understood that other implementations include different configurations than as shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 4 is a top view 400 of cooling device 104. For example, FIG. 4 depicts first top surface 208b of first internal surface 208. As shown in FIG. 4, and as a particular example, cooling device 104 may include a first internal opening 214 a, a second internal opening 214 b, a third internal opening 214 c, and a fourth internal opening 214 d. For example, first internal surface 208 may include a set of internal openings 214 a-d that permit the flow of vapor to exit cooling device 104. It should be understood that other implementations include different numbers of internal openings 214, different shapes of internal openings 214, and/or different configurations of internal openings 214.
  • While FIG. 4 depicts a particular configuration, it should be understood that other implementations include other configurations than as shown in FIG. 4.
  • Some implementations described herein reduce a temperature of vapor generated by an atomizer device. By implementing a set of baffles and a set of internal surfaces configured to direct the flow vapor through a cooling device, some implementations described herein increase an amount of time during which the vapor is disposed within the cooling device, increase exposure of the vapor to thermally conductive surfaces of the cooling device, and/or permit the vapor to expand. In this way, some implementations described herein increase usability of vaporizer devices, improve a user experience, increase efficacy of vapor delivery, and/or the like.
  • The foregoing disclosure provides illustration and description, but it is not intended to be exhaustion or to limit the implementations to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above disclosure or may be acquired from practice of the implementations.
