Description
- This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202120513630.4, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Mar. 11, 2021 and entitled “VAPORIZER AND ELECTRONIC VAPORIZATION DEVICE”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- Embodiments of this application relate to the field of electronic vaporization technologies, and in particular, to a vaporizer and an electronic vaporization device.
- There are aerosol-providing products, for example, e-cigarette devices. The devices generally include e-liquid. The e-liquid is heated to be vaporized, so as to generate an inhalable vapor or aerosol. The e-liquid may include nicotine and/or a fragrance composite and/or an aerosol-generation article (for example, glycerol). In addition to the fragrance composite in the e-liquid,
-
- an existing e-cigarette device generally includes a porous ceramic body that has a large amount of micropores provided inside and is configured to absorb and conduct the e-liquid, and a heating element is arranged on a surface of the porous ceramic body and configured to heat and vaporize the absorbed e-liquid. The micropores in the porous body are used as channels for the e-liquid to infiltrate and flow to a vaporization surface, and also used as air exchange channels for air to enter a liquid storage cavity from the outside to serve as a supplement to maintain balance of the air pressure in the liquid storage cavity after the e-liquid in the liquid storage cavity is consumed, so that bubbles are generated in the porous ceramic body when the e-liquid is heated, vaporized, and consumed, and then the bubbles emerge from a liquid absorbing surface and then enter the liquid storage cavity.
- For the existing e-cigarette device, as the e-liquid in the liquid storage cavity is consumed, the liquid storage cavity is gradually in a negative pressure state, preventing fluid transfer to a certain extent, so that the e-liquid is less conveyed to the vaporization surface through the micropore channels of the porous ceramic body for vaporization. Particularly, when the existing e-cigarette device is in a continuous inhaling and use state, the air outside the liquid storage cavity is difficult to pass through the micropore channels of the porous ceramic body to enter the liquid storage cavity in a short time, to slow down the speed of conveying the e-liquid to the vaporization surface, and insufficient e-liquid supplied to the heating element will cause the temperature of the heating element to be excessively high, resulting in decomposition and volatilization of the e-liquid components to generate harmful substances such as formaldehyde.
- An embodiment of this application provides a vaporizer, configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol, and including:
-
- a housing, where a liquid storage cavity configured to store a liquid substrate is formed in the housing;

- Through the vaporizer, the air channel supplements air to the liquid storage cavity from a position avoiding the interference fit region of the seal element, to relieve or balance a negative pressure of the liquid storage cavity, and a size of the air channel can be prevented from becoming uncontrollable due to squeezing and deformation of the interference fit region of the seal element.
- In a preferred implementation, a convex rib at least partially surrounding the seal element is arranged on the seal element, and the interference fit region is defined by the convex rib.
- In a preferred implementation, the seal element includes a first seal element arranged between the support and the vaporization assembly; and a first avoidance groove adjacent to the first part is arranged on the first seal element, and the second part is defined between the first avoidance groove and an inner surface of the holding space.
-
- two convex edges are arranged on the first seal element, and the first avoidance groove is formed by a gap between the at least two convex edges.
- In a preferred implementation, a protruding height of the convex rib is greater than or equal to a protruding height of the at least two convex edges.
- In a preferred embodiment, the second part is constructed to extend in a longitudinal direction of the vaporizer.
- In a preferred implementation, the first part and the second part are substantially perpendicular to each other.
- In a preferred implementation, the vaporization assembly includes a liquid channel running through the vaporization assembly in a length direction, and is in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity through the liquid channel to absorb the liquid substrate.
- In a preferred implementation, the first seal element includes a side wall opposite to the liquid channel in the length direction, and the first avoidance groove is located on an outer surface of the side wall.
- Another embodiment of this application further provides a vaporizer, configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol, and including:
-
- a liquid storage cavity, configured to store a liquid substrate;
- a vaporization assembly, configured to receive the liquid substrate of the liquid storage cavity and vaporize the liquid substrate to generate an aerosol;
- a support, configured to at least partially hold the vaporization assembly, and having a liquid guide hole for the liquid substrate in the liquid storage cavity to flow to the vaporization assembly;
- a flexible second seal element, having an interference fit region, where the second seal element is configured to provide a seal between the housing and the support through the interference fit region; and
- an air channel, configured to provide an airflow path for air to enter the liquid storage cavity, where the airflow path avoids the interference fit region, and the air channel includes a third part extending between the second seal element and a surface of the support, and a fourth part extending from an outer surface of the support to the liquid guide hole.
- An embodiment of this application further provides an electronic vaporization device, including a vaporizer configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol, and a power supply mechanism configured to supply power to the vaporizer. The vaporizer includes the vaporizer described above.
- In this application, by using the interference fit region which allows the air channel to avoid the flexible seal element, an air flow area of the air channel may be effectively prevented from a change as a result of a squeezing action from an interference fit while ensuring a sealing performance. As a result, efficiency of air entering the liquid storage cavity is difficult to meet design requirements, ensuring consistency of the air channel, and improving stability of product performances.

first avoidance groove 52 and/or thesecond avoidance groove 73 may alternatively be formed on thesupport 60. For example,FIG. 11 shows a schematic diagram of asupport 60 a according to another embodiment. The surface of thesupport 60 a surrounded by theflexible seal element 70 has thesecond avoidance groove 67 a extending longitudinally. On the one hand, the third path part 321 shown inFIG. 11 is provided, and on the other hand, the air inlet port of thesecond air hole 66 a is not tightly attached or sealed by theseal element 70, so that air can smoothly enter thesecond air hole 66 a. - Similarly, the
first avoidance groove 52 may alternatively be formed on an inner surface of the holdingspace 64 of thesupport 60, thereby forming the second path part R312 of the first air channel between the inner surface of the holding space and an outer surface of theflexible seal sleeve 50. - It should be noted that, the specification and the accompanying drawings of this application provide preferred embodiments of this application, but is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification.
