Description

Atomizing device and atomizing component thereof [Technical field]

The present application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization device and an atomization component thereof.

[Background technology]

An atomizer refers to a device that forms an aerosol by heating or ultrasound. The current atomizer is usually equipped with an atomizer module and a storage chamber for storing an atomizer matrix. The atomizer matrix in the storage chamber can enter the atomizer module and be heated and atomized to form an aerosol. These aerosols are mixed with the air entering the atomizer module and then flow out of the atomizer chamber for users to inhale. At present, the atomizer devices on the market often connect the oil guide hole of the atomizer module with the storage chamber, so that the atomizer module is immersed in the atomizer matrix for a long time. This causes the oil guide body in the atomizer module to be in a saturated state for a long time, which easily causes the atomizer matrix to leak through the atomization channel of the atomizer module, causing pollution, and affecting the taste of the aerosol produced by atomization. The leaked atomizer matrix may even be inhaled into the oral cavity during use by consumers, giving consumers a very poor experience. Therefore, the industry is in urgent need of a new atomizer component structure to improve the problem of oil leakage in storage.

Specifically, the atomization module 120 may include an atomization tube 121 and an oil guide member 122 in the atomization tube 121. The oil guide hole 1201 is opened on the side wall of the atomization tube 121. The oil guide member 122 is wrapped on a heating element (not shown in the figure). The oil guide member 122 can guide the atomization matrix in the buffer chamber 1102 to a position close to the heating element through the oil guide hole 1201, so that the atomization matrix is heated and atomized to form an aerosol. The oil guide member 122 can be ceramic or oil guide cotton, and the heating element can be a heating wire or a heating plate, etc.

Optionally, please refer to FIG. 4, which is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the housing of the atomizer assembly shown in FIG. 1.

The sliding member 130 is penetrated in the through hole 1103, and an oil blocking portion 131 is provided at one end of the sliding member 130. The projection area of the oil blocking portion 131 along the normal direction of the through hole 1103 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the through hole 1103, so that it can completely cover the through hole 1103. When the sliding member 130 is in a closed position, the oil blocking portion 131 can seal the through hole 1103 to separate the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102. Furthermore, the material of the oil blocking portion 131 can be plastic, metal or metal alloy, and its shape can be round, square or other shapes that are consistent with the through hole 1103. Matching shapes.

Alternatively, please refer to Fig. 5, which is a structural diagram of the linkage member of the atomizing assembly shown in Fig. 1. The sliding member 130 also includes a linkage member 132, which includes a main body 1323 and a first end 1321 and a second end 1322 located at both ends of the main body 1323, and the first end 1321 is connected to the oil-blocking portion 131. Optionally, the oil-blocking portion 131 and the linkage member 132 can be an integral structure, which can be formed by integral injection molding. Further, the oil-blocking portion 131 and the linkage member 132 can also be a split structure, and the oil-blocking portion 131 and the first end 1321 of the linkage member 132 are detachably connected. Specifically, the first end 1321 and the oil-blocking portion 131 can be connected together in a snap-on or interference fit manner. The material of the linkage member 132 can be materials such as plastic, metal or metal alloy, and the shape of the main body 1323 can be cylindrical, prismatic or other shapes that are compatible with the through hole 1103. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the sliding member 130 is located in the open position, and the second end 1322 is supported by the battery assembly 20, so that the linkage member 132 drives the oil blocking portion 131 away from the through hole 1103. Specifically, the sliding member 130 is in the open position, the oil blocking portion 131 and the first end 1321 of the linkage member 132 are away from the through hole 1103 and enter the storage cavity 1101, the oil blocking portion 131 no longer seals the through hole 1103, and the atomized matrix in the storage cavity 1101 can enter the buffer cavity 1102 through the through hole 1103, and then enter the atomizer module 120 through the oil guide hole 1201.

Optionally, the atomizer assembly 10 further includes an elastic member 140, which is connected to the sliding member 130, and the elastic member 140 is used to provide an elastic force that drives the sliding member 130 to move from the open position to the closed position.

Specifically, the elastic member 140 can be a spring and is arranged around the linkage member 132.

Optionally, please refer to FIG. 6, which is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the base of the atomizer assembly shown in FIG. 1. The atomizer assembly 10 also includes a base 150, a buffer chamber 1102 is located between the base 150 and the housing 110, and the base 150 is provided with a through-going docking channel 1501 and an air inlet channel 1502, the air inlet channel 1502 is communicated with the atomizer tube 121 of the atomizer module 120, and the gas outside the atomizer assembly 10 can enter the atomizer tube 121 through the air inlet channel 1502. The second end 1322 of the linkage 132 is located in the docking channel 1501, and the second end 1322 is adapted to the docking channel 1501, so that there is a small matching gap between the second end 1322 and the docking channel 1501, and can slide relatively, so as to drive the linkage 132 to slide along the docking channel 1501 under the drive of an external force. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the battery assembly 20 can support the second end 1322, so that the sliding member 130 as a whole slides away from the base 150 to the open position, thereby making the oil-blocking portion 131 leave the through hole 1103, so that the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 can be connected.

Furthermore, the first end 1321 of the linkage member 132 is clamped in the oil-blocking portion 131, and a protrusion 1324 is provided between the main body 1323 and the second end 1322 of the linkage member 132.

The elastic member 140 is compressed between the protrusion 1324 and the shell 110 to apply a force to the protrusion 1324 away from the shell 110, so that the oil-blocking portion 131 seals the through hole 1103.

Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the main body 1323 of the linkage 132 is smaller than the area of the through hole 1103, so that when the sliding member 130 is in the open position, a gap is left between the sliding member 130 and the through hole 1103, and the atomized matrix in the storage cavity 1101 can enter the buffer cavity 1102 through the gap.

Further, please refer to FIGS. 7 to 10 , where FIG. 7 is an axial side cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the atomizer assembly of the present application, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional schematic view of the atomizer assembly shown in FIG. 7 when the sliding member is in a closed position, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional schematic view of the atomizer assembly shown in FIG. FIG10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the sliding member of the atomizer assembly when it is in an open position, and FIG11 is a schematic structural view of the linkage member of the atomizer assembly shown in FIG12. One end of the elastic member 140 in this embodiment is connected to the protrusion 1324, and the other end is connected to the partition 111 around the through hole 1103. When the sliding member 130 is in a closed position, the elastic member 140 is in a compressed state, and the protrusion 1324 is away from the through hole 1103 under the elastic force of the elastic member 140, so that the oil blocking portion 131 seals the through hole 1103. At this time, the protrusion 1324 can abut the base 150, and is used as a limit for the linkage member 132 to move downward to the limit position.

Optionally, the main body 1323 is provided with a hollow channel 13231, and an oil inlet hole 13232 and an oil outlet hole 13233 connected to the hollow channel 13231. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the second end 1322 of the linkage member 132 is supported by the battery assembly 20 so that the sliding member 130 moves from the closed position to the open position, and the oil inlet hole 13232 moves from the buffer chamber 1102 to the storage chamber 1101, and the oil outlet hole 13233 is located in the buffer chamber 1102. The atomized matrix in the storage chamber 1101 can enter the hollow channel 13231 through the oil inlet hole 13232, and enter the buffer chamber 1102 from the oil outlet hole 13233. Furthermore, when the sliding member 130 is in the open position, the oil outlet hole 13233 can face the oil guide hole 1201 , so that the atomized matrix in the hollow channel 13231 can directly enter the atomization module 120 through the oil outlet hole 13233 and the oil guide hole 1201 .

Optionally, the atomization assembly 10 further includes a nozzle 160, and the aerosol generated by the atomization module 120 heating the atomized matrix can be discharged from the nozzle 160 through the atomization tube 121. A sealing ring 170 is provided between the nozzle 160 and the housing 110, between the nozzle 160 and the atomization module 120, between the base 150 and the housing 110, and between the second end 1322 and the docking channel 1501 to prevent leakage of the atomized matrix in the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102. Furthermore, a metal electrode 180 is also installed on the base 150, and the metal electrode 180 is riveted with the heating wire of the atomization module 120, and can be electrically connected to the battery assembly 20 to power the atomization module 120.

Optionally, the battery assembly 20 includes a fixed bracket 210, and the fixed bracket 210 is provided with a top portion 211. When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the top portion 211 supports the sliding member 130, so that the sliding member 130 is in the open position. Specifically, the top portion 211 can extend into the docking channel 1501 of the base 150, and support the second end portion 1322 of the linkage member 132, so that the linkage member 132 drives the oil blocking portion 131 to leave the through hole 1103. Optionally, in some other embodiments, the matching relationship between the top portion 211 and the docking channel 1501 can also prevent the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 from being compatible.

Optionally, the battery assembly 20 also includes a spring electrode 220, which can be electrically connected to the metal electrode 180 of the atomizer assembly 10 to conduct the battery 250 current to supply power to the atomizer module 120.

When the user inhales through the nozzle 160, the microphone 240 can sense the change in airflow and provide a signal to the battery 250 to output current to power the atomizer assembly 10, and the atomizer module 120 further heats the atomization matrix to form an aerosol.

When the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 are connected, the sliding member 130 is in the open position, the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 are connected, and the atomized matrix can quickly enter the atomizer module 120 to be heated and atomized. When the atomizer device is not in use, the atomizer assembly 10 and the battery assembly 20 can be separated, and the sliding member 130 can be automatically opened under the elastic force of the elastic member 140. The storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 are automatically reset to a closed state, and the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102 are separated, thereby preventing the atomized matrix from entering the atomizing module 120 and causing oil leakage.

The atomization device and atomization assembly provided by the present application are configured with a sliding member 130 in the housing 110 to control the connection or isolation between the storage chamber 1101 and the buffer chamber 1102, so as to open or close the passage for the atomization matrix in the storage chamber 1101 to enter the atomization module 120, thereby preventing the atomization module 120 from being immersed in the atomization matrix for a long time when the atomization device is not in use, thereby improving the problem of oil leakage during product storage.
