Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technologies, and in particular, to an atomization base, an atomizer, and an electronic atomization device.

BACKGROUND

[0002] An electronic atomization device generally includes an atomizer and a power supply assembly. The atomizer is configured to store and atomize an aerosol-generation substrate, and the power supply assembly is configured to provide electric energy for operation of the atomizer.

[0003] An atomizer is generally composed of an atomization base and an atomization core. The atomization core is usually arranged inside the atomization base and is configured to heat and atomize an aerosol-generation substrate in a liquid reservoir. To equilibrate air pressure in the liquid reservoir, in a structure of a conventional atomizer, a liquid stop groove is usually provided on a top of an atomization base, and a seal member is arranged between the atomization base and a liquid reservoir, to perform air exchange through a gap between the atomization base and the seal member, in which case the aerosol-generation substrate easily comes into contact with an atomization cavity of the atomization base. Since the atomizer usually needs to be inverted during transportation, the aerosol-generation substrate may flow into the atomization cavity, resulting in an aerosol-generation substrate leakage.

SUMMARY

[0004] Based on the above, it is necessary to provide an atomization base, an atomizer, and an electronic atomization device for the above problem, to at least partially ameliorate the above problem.

[0005] According to an aspect, this application provides an atomization base. The atomization base has a top surface and a side surface, an atomization cavity and a liquid flowing channel are formed inside the atomization base, and the liquid flowing channel extends through the top surface and is in communication with the atomization cavity. The atomization base further has an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet is in communication with the liquid flowing channel, the air outlet is in communication with the atomization cavity, the air inlet and the air outlet are provided at heights lower than the height of the top surface, and the air inlet and the air outlet are in communication with an air inlet channel.

[0006] In an embodiment, the air inlet and the air outlet are provided on the side surface of the atomization base, and a height difference exists between the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0007] In an embodiment, the air inlet channel includes a groove provided on the side surface.

[0008] In an embodiment, at least part of the groove is a transition section, and the depth of the transition section is arranged to gradually change.

[0009] In an embodiment, the depth of the transition section is in a range of 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm, and the depth of a part of the groove other than the transition section is in a range of 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm.

[0010] In an embodiment, a plurality of air outlets are provided, the plurality of air outlets are provided on the atomization base at intervals, and each air outlet is in communication with the air inlet through one air inlet channel.

[0011] In an embodiment, the plurality of air outlets are provided at a same height.

[0012] According to another aspect, this application further provides an atomizer. The atomizer includes a cartridge tube, the above atomization base, an atomization core, and a seal member. A liquid reservoir and an atomization channel are formed inside the cartridge tube, and the liquid reservoir is arranged around the atomization channel. The liquid flowing channel is in communication with the liquid reservoir, and the atomization cavity is in communication with the atomization channel. The atomization core is arranged at an intersection of the liquid flowing channel and the atomization cavity. The seal member is arranged between the cartridge tube and the atomization base, and is configured to seal a gap between the liquid flowing channel and the liquid reservoir.

[0013] According to still another aspect, an embodiment of this application further provides an electronic atomization device. The electronic atomization device includes a shell, a power supply device, and the above atomizer.

The power supply device is arranged in the power supply compartment, and is electrically connected to the atomizer.

[0014] In an embodiment, the electronic atomization device further includes a seal plug. The seal plug is configured to be embedded into an end of the atomization channel away from the atomization core.

[0015] In the above atomization base, the air inlet in communication with the liquid flowing channel and the air outlet in communication with the atomization cavity are both provided on the side surface of the atomization base, the air inlet channel in communication with the air inlet and the air outlet is provided on the side surface of the atomization base, and the air inlet and the air outlet are provided at heights lower than the height of the top surface of the atomization base, to perform exchange between airflows inside and outside the atomization base on the side surface of the atomization base. Since two ends of the air inlet channel are both located on the side surface of the atomization base rather than on an end portion, after the atomization base is fitted to the atomizer, an aerosol-generation substrate does not flow into the atomization cavity during transportation of the atomizer, which avoids an aerosol-generation substrate leakage for the atomizer during transportation.

[0024] An electronic atomization device provided in the embodiments of this application is configured to heat an aerosol-generation substrate to generate aerosols for use by a user. A heating manner may be convection, conduction, radiation, or a combination thereof. The aerosol-generation substrate may be in a form of a liquid, a gel, a paste, a solid, or the like. When the aerosol-generation substrate is a solid, the aerosol-generation substrate may be a solid in a fragmented, granular, powdery, grainy, strip, or flake form. The aerosol-generation substrate includes but is not limited to materials used for medical treatment, health maintenance, fitness, and beauty. For example, the aerosol-generation substrate is a medicinal solution or an e-liquid. Alternatively, the aerosol-generation substrate is a plant material, for example, a root, a stem, a leave, a flower, a bud, or a seed of a plant.

[0025] An electronic atomization device generally includes an atomizer and a power supply assembly. The atomizer is configured to store and atomize an aerosol-generation substrate, and the power supply assembly is configured to provide electric energy for operation of the atomizer.

[0026] An atomizer is generally composed of an atomization base and an atomization core. The atomization core is usually arranged inside the atomization base and is configured to heat and atomize an aerosol-generation substrate in a liquid reservoir. To equilibrate air pressure in the liquid reservoir, in a structure of a conventional atomizer, a liquid stop groove is usually provided on a top of an atomization base, and a seal member is arranged between the atomization base and a liquid reservoir, to perform air exchange through a gap between the atomization base and the seal member, in which case the aerosol-generation substrate easily comes into contact with an atomization cavity of the atomization base. Since the atomizer usually needs to be inverted during transportation, the aerosol-generation substrate may flow into the atomization cavity, resulting in an aerosol-generation substrate leakage.

[0027] Based on the above problem, an embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomization device 1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic atomization device 1 according to an embodiment of this application. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along a line A-A in FIG. 1.

[0028] The electronic atomization device 1 provided in this embodiment of this application may include a shell 10, a power supply device 20, and an atomizer 30.

[0029] The shell 10 is connected to the atomizer 30. After the shell 10 is connected to the atomizer 30, a power supply compartment 110 is formed inside the shell. The power supply device 20 is arranged in the power supply compartment 110. A specific connection manner between the shell 10 and the atomizer 30 is not limited in this embodiment of this application. For example, the connection manner may be engagement or interference fit. In this embodiment of this application, a description is provided by using an example in which the shell 10 is engaged with the atomizer 30.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the shell 10 may include a first engagement portion 120, and the atomizer 30 may include a second engagement portion 314 mated with the first engagement portion 120. The first engagement portion 120 may be an engagement groove, and the second engagement portion 314 may be an engagement block. In some other implementations, the first engagement portion 120 may be an engagement block, and the second engagement portion 314 may be an engagement groove, which is not limited herein. The shell 10 may be engaged with the atomizer 30 through the first engagement portion 120 and the second engagement portion 314.

[0031] The power supply device 20 is electrically connected to the atomizer 30. The power supply device 20 is configured to provide electric energy to the atomizer 30. A specific form of the power supply device 20 is not limited in this embodiment of this application. For example, the power supply device may be a rechargeable battery, or may be a disposable battery. The specific form may be selected based on an actual situation.

[0032] The atomizer 30 is configured to heat and atomize the aerosol-generation substrate. Specifically, still referring to FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the atomizer may include a cartridge tube 310, an atomization base 320, an atomization core 330, and a seal member 340.

[0033] A liquid reservoir 311 and an atomization channel 312 may be formed inside the cartridge tube 310. The liquid reservoir 311 may be configured to accommodate an aerosol-generation substrate. An end of the atomization channel 312 is in communication with the atomization core 330, and an other end is in communication with outside. The atomization core 330 may be arranged inside the atomization base 320. Aerosols generated after the atomization core 330 heats and atomizes the aerosol-generation substrate may be transferred to outside of the atomizer 30 through the atomization channel 312 for inhalation by a user. The liquid reservoir 311 is arranged around the atomization channel 312.

[0034] In an implementation, an end of the cartridge tube 310 may be arranged to protrude to form a suction nozzle 313 for inhalation by the user. A specific shape of the suction nozzle 313 is not limited in this embodiment of this application. For example, the suction nozzle may be in a cylindrical shape or a flat shape. The specific shape may be selected based on an actual situation.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together, FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the atomization base 320 according to an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the atomization base 320 has a top surface 321 and a side surface 322. An atomization cavity 323 and a liquid flowing channel 324 are formed inside the atomization base 320. The liquid flowing channel 324 extends through the top surface 321 and is in communication with the atomization cavity 323. The liquid flowing channel 324 is in communication with the liquid reservoir 311. The aerosol-generation substrate stored in the liquid reservoir 311 may flow toward the atomization cavity 323 through the liquid flowing channel 324.

[0036] In this embodiment, the atomization core 330 may be arranged inside the atomization cavity 232. After the aerosol-generation substrate in the liquid reservoir 311 flows into the atomization cavity 323 through the liquid flowing channel 324, the aerosol-generation substrate comes into contact with a surface of the atomization core 330, and is atomized on the surface of the atomization core 330 to generate aerosols. The aerosols may flow out through the atomization channel 312 above the atomization core 330.

[0037] The seal member 340 may be arranged between the cartridge tube 310 and the atomization base 320, and is configured to seal gaps between the liquid flowing channel 324 and the liquid reservoir 311 and between the atomization base 320 and the cartridge tube 310. Specifically, the seal member 340 may be wrapped around the top surface 321 and at least part of the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, with only an opening being retained at the liquid flowing channel 324. In this way, an aerosol-generation substrate leakage from the liquid reservoir 311 can be avoided.

[0038] Further, still referring to FIG. 3, the atomization base 320 further has an air inlet 325 and an air outlet 326. The air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320. The air inlet 325 is provided at a height lower than that of the top surface 321 of the atomization base 320. The air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are in communication with each other through an air inlet channel 327. The air inlet 325 is in communication with the liquid flowing channel 324. The air outlet 326 is in communication with the atomization cavity 323. The air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 may extend through the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, thereby achieving communication with external air. The air inlet channel 327 may be configured to equilibrate the pressure inside the liquid reservoir 311.

[0039] Further, in some implementations, a height difference exists between the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326, which can facilitate air exchange. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air inlet 325 may be provided at a height higher than a height at which the air outlet 326 is provided. In this case, the air inlet 325 may be provided at a height between the top surface 321 and the atomization cavity 323 of the atomization base 320. In some other implementations, the air inlet 325 may be provided at a height lower than the height at which the air outlet 326 is provided. Specific heights may be set based on structures of different atomization bases 320, which are not limited herein.

[0040] It should be noted that, specific shapes of the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are not limited in this embodiment of this application. For example, the air inlet and the air outlet may be in a shape of a circular hole or a square hole, or may be in an irregular shape. Specific shapes may be set based on an actual situation. In this embodiment of this application, a description is provided by using an example in which the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are in the shape of a circular hole.

[0041] In addition, in consideration of manufacturability and productibility, the diameters of the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 may be set to a range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Excessively small diameters of the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 may lead to an excessively narrow air inlet channel 327, which impedes air exchange of the liquid reservoir 311. Excessively large diameters of the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 may lead to a risk of a liquid leakage.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 again, in some implementations, the electronic atomization device 1 further includes a seal plug 40. The seal plug 40 is configured to be embedded into an end of the atomization channel 312 away from the atomization core 330. The seal plug 40 may be configured to seal the atomization channel 312. When the user does not use the electronic atomization device 1, the user may embed the seal plug 40 into the atomization channel 312, to avoid impact of dust accumulation in the atomization channel 312 on subsequent user experience. It should be noted that, a specific connection manner between the seal plug 40 and the atomization channel 312 is not limited in this implementation of this application. For example, the connection manner may be interference fit or engagement. The connection manner may be specifically selected based on an actual situation.

[0043] In the atomization base 320 provided in this embodiment of this application, the air inlet 325 in communication with the liquid flowing channel 324 and the air outlet 326 in communication with the atomization channel 312 are both provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, the air inlet channel 327 in communication with the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 is provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, and the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are provided at the heights lower than the height of the top surface 321 of the atomization base 320, to perform exchange between airflows inside and outside the atomization base 320 on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320. Since two ends of the air inlet channel 327 are both located on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320 rather than on an end portion, after the atomization base 320 is fitted to the atomizer 30, the aerosol-generation substrate does not flow into the atomization cavity 323 during transportation of the atomizer 30, which avoids an aerosol-generation substrate leakage for the atomizer 30 during transportation, thereby avoiding an aerosol-generation substrate leakage during transportation of the electronic atomization device 1 to which the atomizer 30 is applied.

[0044] In addition, an embodiment of this application provides another atomizer. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an atomizer 30 according to an embodiment of this application. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view along a line B-B in FIG. 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the atomizer 30 may include a cartridge tube 310, an atomization base 320, an atomization core 330, and a seal member 340.

[0046] A liquid reservoir 311 and an atomization channel 312 may be formed inside the cartridge tube 310. The liquid reservoir 311 may be configured to accommodate an aerosol-generation substrate. An end of the atomization channel 312 is in communication with the atomization core 330, and an other end is in communication with outside. The atomization core 330 may be arranged inside the atomization base 320. Aerosols generated after the atomization core 330 heats and atomizes the aerosol-generation substrate may be transferred to outside of the atomizer 30 through the atomization channel 312 for inhalation by a user. The liquid reservoir 311 is arranged around the atomization channel 312.

[0047] Further, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another atomization base 320 according to an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that, in this implementation, a plurality of air outlets 326 may be provided. The plurality of air outlets 326 are provided on a side surface 322 of the atomization base 320 at intervals. Each air outlet 326 is in communication with the air inlet 325 through one air inlet channel 327. In other words, in this implementation, a plurality of air inlet channels 327 may be provided for air exchange, which can further improve air exchange efficiency in the liquid reservoir 311, and increase a fault tolerance of the air inlet channels 327. When an air inlet channel 327 is blocked, the electronic atomization device 1 can still be used normally.

[0048] It should be noted that, in some other implementations, a plurality of air inlets 325 may be provided. The plurality of air inlets 325 are provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320 at intervals. Each air inlet 325 is in communication with the air outlet 326 through one air inlet channel 327. Similarly, in some other implementations, a plurality of air inlets 325, a plurality of air outlets 326, and a plurality of air inlet channels 327 may be provided. The air inlets 325 and the air outlets may be in communication with each other through the same air inlet channel 327 or through a plurality of air inlet channels 327, which is not limited herein.

[0049] Specifically, the plurality of air outlets 326 may be provided at the same height, and the height is lower than that of a top surface 321 of the atomization base 320. In this way, the air outlets 326 may be configured to perform air exchange simultaneously, thereby further improving the air exchange efficiency in the liquid reservoir 311. The plurality of air outlets 325 may alternatively be provided at different heights on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, and the heights of all of the air inlets 325 are lower than that of the top surface 321 of the atomization base 320.

[0050] It may be understood that, in some other implementations, only one air inlet 325 and one air outlet 326 may be provided, and a plurality of air inlet channels 327 with different paths may be provided between the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326. In this way, the air exchange efficiency in the liquid reservoir 311 can be improved, and the fault tolerance of the air inlet channels 327 can be improved. When an air inlet channel 327 is blocked, the electronic atomization device 1 can still be used normally.

[0051] It should be noted that, a specific structure of the air inlet channel 327 is not limited in this embodiment of this application. For example, the air inlet channel may have a structure of a straight line or similar to a straight line shown in FIG. 3, or may have a structure of one or more bent lines shown in FIG. 6. A specific structure may be set based on an actual situation.

[0052] Still referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the atomization core 330 may be arranged at an intersection of the liquid flowing channel 324 and the atomization cavity 323. The atomization cavity 323 is in communication with the atomization channel 312. The aerosol-generation substrate in the liquid reservoir 311 may flow toward the atomization cavity 323 through the liquid flowing channel 324, and come into contact with the atomization core 330. The atomization core 330 may heat and atomize the aerosol-generation substrate to generate aerosols.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 5 again, the seal member 340 may be arranged between the cartridge tube 310 and the atomization base 320, and is configured to seal gaps between the liquid flowing channel 324 and the liquid reservoir 311 and between the atomization base 320 and the cartridge tube 310. Specifically, the seal member 340 may be wrapped around the top surface 321 and at least part of the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, with only an opening being retained at the liquid flowing channel 324. In this way, an aerosol-generation substrate leakage from the liquid reservoir 311 can be avoided.

[0054] Referring to FIG. 6 again, in an implementation, the air inlet channel 327 includes a groove 3211 provided on the side surface 322, and the groove 3211 may be mated with the seal member 340 to form a channel. In this way, production difficulty of the air inlet channel 327 can be reduced.

[0055] Further, at least part of the groove 3211 is a transition section 3211a. The depth of the transition section 3211a is arranged to gradually change, and the depth of the transition section 3211a is less than the depth of another part of the groove 3211. For example, the depth of the transition section 3211a may be in a range of 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm, and the depth of the part of the groove 3211 other than the transition section 3211a may be in a range of 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm. In this embodiment of this application, a description is provided by using an example in which the depth of the transition section 3211a is in a range of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm and the depth of the part of the groove 3211 other than the transition section 3211a is 0.5 mm. Due to the small depth of the transition section 3211a, the aerosol-generation substrate has a larger surface tension when flowing to the transition section 3211a than flowing to the part of the groove 3211 other than the transition section 3211a. Molecules of the aerosol-generation substrate interact with each other, which results in a protrusion on a surface of the aerosol-generation substrate. Therefore, the aerosol-generation substrate cannot smoothly pass through the transition section 3211a. In other words, the aerosol-generation substrate cannot further flow when flowing to the transition section 3211a through the air inlet 325. Therefore, the aerosol-generation substrate does not leak through the air inlet channel 327. In addition, during inhalation of the user, air may enter the liquid reservoir 311 through the air inlet channel 327, which maintains a pressure value of the liquid reservoir 311 within a relatively stable range, thereby facilitating atomization of the aerosol-generation substrate by the electronic atomization device 1.

[0056] It should be noted that, a specific position of the transition section 3211a is not limited in this embodiment of this application. For example, the transition section 3211a may be arranged closer to the air inlet 325, or the transition section 3211a may be arranged closer to the air outlet 326. A specific position may be set based on an actual situation.

[0057] A principle description of the electronic atomization device 1 provided in the embodiments of this application is as follows:

[0058] Referring to FIG. 5 again, during transportation of the electronic atomization device provided in the embodiments of this application, a usual state of the atomizer 30 is shown in FIG. 5. The atomizer 30 is inverted. During loading, the aerosol-generation substrate in the liquid reservoir 311 does not fully fill the entire liquid reservoir 311, and instead, a gap is retained. After the atomizer 30 is inverted, a liquid level of the aerosol-generation substrate in the liquid reservoir 311 is usually flush with or slightly higher than a line C-C in the figure. In the electronic atomization device 1 provided in the embodiments of this application, the air inlet 325, the air outlet 326, and air inlet channel 327 are all provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, and the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are provided at the heights lower than the height of the top surface 321 of the atomization base 320. Therefore, the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are not immersed in the aerosol-generation substrate, which avoids an aerosol-generation substrate leakage.

[0059] In summary, in the atomization base 320 provided in this embodiment of this application, the air inlet 325 in communication with the liquid flowing channel 324 and the air outlet 326 in communication with the atomization channel 312 are both provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, the air inlet channel 327 in communication with the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 is provided on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320, and the air inlet 325 and the air outlet 326 are provided at the heights lower than the height of the top surface 321 of the atomization base 320, to perform exchange between airflows inside and outside the atomization base 320 on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320. Since two ends of the air inlet channel 327 are both located on the side surface 322 of the atomization base 320 rather than on an end portion, after the atomization base 320 is fitted to the atomizer 30, the aerosol-generation substrate does not flow into the atomization cavity 323 during transportation of the atomizer 30, which avoids an aerosol-generation substrate leakage for the atomizer 30 during transportation, thereby avoiding an aerosol-generation substrate leakage during transportation of the electronic atomization device 1 to which the atomizer 30 is applied.
