TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vaporization technologies, and in
particular, to a vaporization arrangement and an electronic vaporization device.
BACKGROUND
[0002] An aerosol is a colloidal dispersion system formed by dispersing small solid or liquid
particles and suspending the particles in a gas medium. Since the aerosol can be absorbed
by a human body through a respiratory system, users are provided with a new alternative
absorption manner. For example, a vaporization device that can generate aerosols by
baking and heating herbal or ointment aerosol-generating substrates is applied to
different fields to deliver inhalable aerosols to the users, replacing conventional
product forms and absorption manners.
[0003] Generally, an electronic vaporization device heats an aerosol-generating substrate,
and the aerosol-generating substrate is a substrate material capable of generating
an aerosol after being heated. In use, the users have different requirements for flavors
or types of aerosol substrates. Some electronic vaporization devices have replacement
components required to be replaced, and the replacement components are connected to
and separated from vaporization main bodies through fixed devices. However, in the
related art, the replacement components are generally required to be snapped off manually
or replaced by using tools, which is cumbersome and not convenient enough for the
users to use.
SUMMARY
[0004] Based on the above, there is a need to provide a vaporization arrangement and an
electronic vaporization device with respect to the problem of inconvenient disassembly
and assembly of the replacement component in the electronic vaporization device.
[0005] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a vaporization arrangement is provided.
The vaporization arrangement includes: a vaporization main body provided with a first
accommodating cavity for accommodating a solid aerosol-generating substrate and a
second accommodating cavity for accommodating a replacement component; and a locking
member arranged movably relative to the vaporization main body. The locking member
is provided with a lock position for opening an opening of the first accommodating
cavity and locking the replacement component and the vaporization main body, and an
unlock position for blocking the opening of the first accommodating cavity while causing
the locking member to be separated from the replacement component.
[0006] In the vaporization arrangement, at the lock position, the locking member locks the
replacement component and the vaporization main body, and fixes the replacement component
to the vaporization main body. Moreover, the locking member opens the opening of the
first accommodating cavity, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate can be loaded
into the first accommodating cavity through the opening of the first accommodating
cavity. In this way, at the lock position, the locking member fixes the replacement
component in the second accommodating cavity and allows the solid aerosol-generating
substrate to be inserted into the first accommodating cavity, and the vaporization
main body can mix and vaporize a liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement
component and the solid aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity.
[0007] When the replacement component is required to be removed, the user can operate the
locking member to switch the locking member from the lock position to the unlock position,
so that the locking member is separated from the replacement component to release
the replacement component, and then the user can remove the replacement component
from the vaporization main body. At the same time, the locking member at the unlock
position blocks the opening of the first accommodating cavity to prevent entry of
impurities into the first accommodating cavity during removing or fitting of the replacement
component. In this way, the user can lock and unlock the replacement component by
operating the locking member, which is easy to mount and remove the replacement component,
and is easy and convenient to operate.
[0008] In an embodiment, the locking member is slidably arranged on the vaporization main
body and operable to slide between the lock position and the unlock position.
[0009] In an embodiment, at the lock position, the locking member has a portion connected
to the vaporization main body and another portion connected to the replacement component.
At the unlock position, the locking member slides completely onto the vaporization
main body.
[0010] In an embodiment, the vaporization main body and the replacement component are provided
with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove respectively. At the unlock
position, the locking member slides completely into the first sliding groove. At the
lock position, the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove communicates
with each other, and the locking member has a portion located in the first sliding
groove and connected to the vaporization main body and another portion located in
the second sliding groove and connected to the replacement component.
[0011] In an embodiment, the first sliding groove has a sidewall provided with a first slot,
and the second sliding groove has a sidewall provided with a second slot. The locking
member includes a main body and a holding part arranged on and protruding from the
main body. At the unlock position, the holding part is completely located in the first
slot. At the lock position, the holding part has a portion located in the first slot
and another portion located in the second slot.
[0012] In an embodiment, the vaporization arrangement further includes a self-locking assembly
arranged on the vaporization main body. When the second accommodating cavity is vacant,
the self-locking assembly is in a first state where the locking member is blocked
at the unlock position. When the second accommodating cavity is fitted with the replacement
component, the self-locking assembly is in a second state where the locking member
is allowed to switch from the unlock position to the lock position.
[0013] In an embodiment, the self-locking assembly includes a self-locking bracket liftably
arranged on the vaporization main body. In the first state, the self-locking bracket
is unconstrained by the replacement component and extends into a sliding path of the
locking member. In the second state, the self-locking bracket exits the sliding path
of the locking member under the action of the replacement component.
[0014] In an embodiment, the self-locking bracket includes a body and an abutment portion.
The abutment portion at least partially protrudes from the vaporization main body.
The abutment portion is adapted to be pushed by the replacement component fitted on
the vaporization main body and then move in a direction away from the locking member,
or the abutment portion is adapted to be released by the replacement component separated
from the vaporization main body and then move in a direction close to the locking
member.
[0015] In an embodiment, the self-locking bracket further includes a blocking part arranged
on the body. The blocking part is capable of extending into or exiting the sliding
path of the locking member.
[0016] In an embodiment, the self-locking assembly further includes an elastic member elastically
abutting against the self-locking bracket and the vaporization main body and configured
to store elastic potential energy that drives the self-locking bracket to extend into
the sliding path of the locking member.
[0017] In an embodiment, the vaporization arrangement further includes an auxiliary assembly
configured to fix the locking member at the unlock position and the vaporization main
body and configured to fix the locking member at the lock position and the vaporization
main body.
[0018] In an embodiment, the auxiliary assembly includes a first magnetic member, a second
magnetic member, and a third magnetic member. The first magnetic member is arranged
at an end of the vaporization main body close to the replacement component, and the
second magnetic member and the third magnetic member are spaced apart on the locking
member along a sliding direction of the locking member. When the locking member is
at the unlock position, the second magnetic member is adsorbed to the first magnetic
member. When the locking member is at the lock position, the third magnetic member
is adsorbed to the first magnetic member.
[0019] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic vaporization
device is provided. The electronic vaporization device includes a replacement component
and the vaporization arrangement according to the above aspect. The replacement component
is removably fitted in the second accommodating cavity.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic
vaporization device is provided, including a vaporization arrangement 100 and a replacement
component 30. The vaporization arrangement 100 is configured to heat and vaporize
an aerosol-generating substrate to form smoke for a user to use.
[0029] The vaporization arrangement 100 includes a vaporization main body 52. A first accommodating
cavity 15 for accommodating a solid aerosol-generating substrate and a second accommodating
cavity 17 for accommodating a replacement component 30 are formed on the vaporization
main body 52, so as to removably mount the replacement component 30 on the vaporization
arrangement 100 through the second accommodating cavity 17. During the use of the
electronic vaporization device by the user, the replacement component 30 may accommodate
a liquid aerosol-generating substrate, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate
is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 15 of the vaporization main body 52.
The replacement component 30 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 17 of
the vaporization main body 52. During operation of the vaporization main body 52,
the solid aerosol-generating substrate and the liquid aerosol-generating substrate
in the replacement component 30 are both heated and vaporized to form mixed smoke
for the user to inhale.
[0030] Moreover, when the liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component
30 is used up, a further replacement component 30 may be replaced in the second accommodating
cavity 17, so that the replacement component 30 can continue to cooperate the solid
aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity 15 for mixing and vaporization.
Optionally, the replacement component 30 is a cartridge.
[0031] Further optionally, the replacement component 30 is removably mounted on the vaporization
main body 52 along a first direction. That is, when the replacement component 30 is
moved along the first direction, disassembly and assembly between the replacement
component 30 and the vaporization main body 52 can be realized. As shown in FIG. 1,
the first direction is a vertical direction, and when the replacement component 30
is moved upwards along the first direction, the replacement component 30 can be fitted
on the vaporization main body 52. In addition, when the replaceable component 30 is
required to be replaced, the replacement component 30 is moved downwards along the
first direction, and a required replacement component 30 can be fitted on the vaporization
main body 52.
[0032] In some embodiments, the vaporization arrangement 100 further includes a locking
member 50, and the locking member 50 is arranged movably relative to the vaporization
main body 52. The locking member 50 is provided with a lock position for opening an
opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 and locking the replacement component
30 and the vaporization main body 52, and an unlock position for blocking the opening
of the first accommodating cavity 15 while causing the locking member to be separated
from the replacement component 30. In other words, at the lock position, the locking
member 50 locks the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 52, and
fixes the replacement component 30 to the vaporization main body 52. Moreover, the
locking member 50 opens the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15, and the
solid aerosol-generating substrate can be loaded into the first accommodating cavity
15 through the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15. In this way, at the lock
position, the locking member 50 fixes the replacement component 30 in the second accommodating
cavity 17 and allows the solid aerosol-generating substrate to be inserted into the
first accommodating cavity 15, and the vaporization main body 52 can mix and vaporize
a liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component 30 and the solid
aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity 15.
[0033] When the replacement component 30 is required to be removed, the user can operate
the locking member 50 to switch the locking member 50 from the lock position to the
unlock position, so that the locking member 50 is separated from the replacement component
30 to release the replacement component 30, and then the user can remove the replacement
component 30 from the vaporization main body 52. At the same time, the locking member
50 at the unlock position blocks the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15
to prevent entry of impurities into the first accommodating cavity 15 during removing
and fitting of the replacement component 30. In this way, the user can lock and unlock
the replacement component 30 by operating the locking member 50, which is easy to
mount and remove the replacement component 30, and is easy and convenient to operate.
[0034] Further, the locking member 50 is slidably arranged on the vaporization main body
52 and operable to slide between the lock position and the unlock position. "The locking
member 50 is slidably arranged on the vaporization main body 52" means that the locking
member 50 can slide on the vaporization main body 52 and can partially slide out of
the vaporization main body 52. In this way, the locking member 50 is slidably arranged
on the vaporization main body 52, and the user can lock and unlock the replacement
component 30 by sliding the locking member 50.
[0035] Furthermore, at the lock position, the locking member 50 has a portion connected
to the vaporization main body 52 and another portion connected to the replacement
component 30, so as to lock the replacement component 30 onto the vaporization main
body 52. At the unlock position, the locking member 50 slides completely onto the
vaporization main body 52, and then is completely separated from the replacement component
30 to release the replacement component 30, allowing the replacement component 30
to be removed from the vaporization main body 52.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking member 50 is slidably arranged along
a second direction intersecting with the first direction. When sliding along the second
direction, the locking member 50 may be connected to or separated from the replacement
component 30, thereby locking or unlocking the replacement component 30. As shown
in FIG. 1, the second direction is a horizontal direction.
[0037] In some embodiments, the vaporization main body 52 and the replacement component
30 are provided with a first sliding groove 11 and a second sliding groove 31 respectively.
At the unlock position, the locking member 50 slides completely into the first sliding
groove 11. That is, the locking member 50 slides completely onto the vaporization
main body 52 and then can be separated from the replacement component 30 to release
the replacement component 30, allowing the replacement component 30 to move relative
to the vaporization main body 52 to achieve disassembly. At the lock position, the
locking member 50 has a portion located in the first sliding groove 11 and connected
to the vaporization main body 52 and another portion located in the second sliding
groove 31 and connected to the replacement component 30. That is, a portion of the
locking member 50 is located on the vaporization main body 52 and connected to the
vaporization main body 52, and another portion of the locking member 50 is located
on the replacement component 30 and connected to the replacement component 30. The
replacement component 30 and the vaporization main body 52 are connected by using
the locking member 50, preventing separation of the replacement component 30 from
the vaporization main body 52.
[0038] Further, the first sliding groove 11 has a sidewall provided with a first slot 13,
and the second sliding groove 31 has a sidewall provided with a second slot 33. The
locking member 50 includes a main body 52 and a holding part 54 arranged on and protruding
from the main body 52. At the unlock position, the holding part 54 is completely located
in the first slot 13, so that the locking member 50 is connected to the vaporization
main body 52 through the holding part 54 arranged in the first slot 13. At the lock
position, the holding part 54 has a portion located in the first slot 13 and another
portion located in the second slot 33. In this way, the locking member 50 is not only
connected to the vaporization main body 52, but also connected to the replacement
component 30, thereby realizing the connection between the replacement component 30
and the vaporization main body 52, preventing separation of the replacement component
30 from the vaporization main body 52.
[0039] Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the vaporization arrangement
100 further includes a self-locking assembly 70 arranged on the vaporization main
body 52. When the second accommodating cavity 17 is vacant, the replacement component
30 is separated from the vaporization main body 52, and the self-locking assembly
70 is in a first state where the locking member 50 is blocked at the unlock position.
When the second accommodating cavity 17 is fitted with the replacement component 30,
the self-locking assembly 70 is in a second state where the locking member 50 is allowed
to switch from the unlock position to the lock position.
[0040] In this way, when the second accommodating cavity 17 is vacant, the replacement component
30 is separated from the vaporization main body 52, the locking member 50 has switched
to the unlock position, and the locking member 50 is located on the vaporization main
body 52. In this case, the self-locking assembly 70 in the first state can block and
limit the locking member 50, thereby preventing separation of the locking member 50
from the vaporization main body 52. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on
the vaporization main body 52, the replacement component 30 is accommodated in the
second accommodating cavity 17 of the vaporization main body 52. The self-locking
assembly 70 switches to the second state to allow the locking member 50 to slide to
switch the position, and then the user can switch the locking member 50 from the unlock
position to the lock position, and complete the fitting of the replacement component
30 by connecting and fixing the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main
body 52 through the locking member 50.
[0041] The first sliding groove 11 and the second sliding groove 31 are each provided with
an abutment opening. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on the vaporization
main body 52, the abutment openings of the first sliding groove 11 and the second
sliding groove 31 abut against each other and communicates with each other, and then
the first sliding groove 11 and the second sliding groove 31 communicates with each
other. After the replacement component 30 is removed from the vaporization main body
52, the abutment opening of the first sliding groove 11 is open to communicate with
the external environment. In this case, the locking member 50 in the first sliding
groove 11 is easy to fall off from the first sliding groove 11. In order to prevent
this situation, after the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization
main body 52, in the present application, the locking member 50 at the unlock position
is limited and blocked on the vaporization main body 52 by the self-locking assembly
70 to prevent falling off of the locking member 50 from the first sliding groove 11.
[0042] In other words, the self-locking assembly 70 in the first state blocks the locking
member 50 in the first sliding groove 11 of the vaporization main body 52 to prevent
separation of the locking member 50 from the vaporization main body 52 through the
abutment opening of the first sliding groove 11.
[0043] Further, the self-locking assembly 70 includes a self-locking bracket 72, and the
self-locking bracket 72 is liftably arranged on the vaporization main body 52. In
the first state, the self-locking bracket 72 is unconstrained by the replacement component
30 and extends into a sliding path of the locking member 50. In the second state,
the self-locking bracket 72 exits the sliding path of the locking member 50 under
the action of the replacement component 30. When the replacement component 30 is fitted
on the vaporization main body 52, the replacement component 30 applies force to the
self-locking bracket 72, so that the self-locking bracket 72 descends to exit the
sliding path of the locking member 50, allowing the locking member 50 to move from
the unlock position to the lock position to fix the replacement component 30 to the
vaporization main body 52. When the replacement component 30 is separated from the
vaporization main body 52, the self-locking bracket 72 ascends to extend into the
sliding path of the locking member 50 to block the locking member 50 and prevent the
locking member 50 from sliding to be detached from the vaporization main body 52.
[0044] Specifically, the self-locking bracket 72 includes a body 721 and an abutment portion
723. The abutment portion 723 at least partially protrudes from the vaporization main
body 52. The abutment portion 723 is adapted to be pushed by the replacement component
30 fitted on the vaporization main body 52 and then move in a direction away from
the locking member 50, to drive the self-locking bracket 72 to exit the sliding path
of the locking member 50. Alternatively, the abutment portion 723 is adapted to be
released by the replacement component 30 separated from the vaporization main body
52 and then move in a direction close to the locking member 50, to drive the self-locking
bracket 72 to be blocked on the sliding path of the locking member 50. That is, when
fitted on the vaporization main body 52, the replacement component 30 cooperates with
the abutment portion 723 to press down the abutment portion 723 and the self-locking
bracket 72, so that the self-locking bracket 72 descends to exit the sliding path
of the locking member 50, allowing the locking member 50 to switch to the lock position.
[0045] Optionally, an acting part 32 protrudes from an outer sidewall of the replacement
component 30. When the replacement component 30 is fitted on the vaporization main
body 52, the acting part 32 is supported on the abutment portion 723 of the self-locking
bracket 72, and the self-locking bracket 72 is pressed down.
[0046] More specifically, the self-locking bracket 72 further includes a blocking part 725
arranged on the body 721. The blocking part 725 can enter or exit the sliding path
of the locking member 50 to block or release the locking member 50 through the blocking
part 725. Optionally, two blocking parts 725 are provided. The two blocking parts
725 ascend and descend synchronously, which can block the locking member 50 more effectively.
[0047] In some embodiments, the self-locking assembly 70 further includes an elastic member
74. The elastic member 74 elastically abutts against the self-locking bracket 72 and
the vaporization main body 52 and configured to store elastic potential energy that
drives the self-locking bracket 72 to extend into the sliding path of the locking
member 50. When the self-locking bracket 72 is pushed by the replacement component
30 to descend, the elastic member 74 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy.
After the replacement component 30 is separated from the vaporization main body 52,
the self-locking bracket 72 is no longer constrained, and the elastic member 74 releases
its own elastic potential energy and drives the self-locking bracket 72 to rise to
extend into the sliding path of the locking member 50, so that the locking member
50 is limited and blocked on the vaporization main body 52.
[0048] In some embodiments, the vaporization arrangement 100 further includes an auxiliary
assembly 90. The auxiliary assembly 90 is configured to fix the locking member 50
at the unlock position and the vaporization main body 52 to fix the locking member
50 to the unlock position and configured to fix the locking member 50 at the lock
position and the vaporization main body 52. In this way, when the locking member 50
is at the unlock position, the auxiliary assembly 90 can fix the locking member 50
to the vaporization main body 52 to prevent deviation of the locking member 50 from
the unlock position. When the locking member 50 switches to the lock position, the
auxiliary assembly 90 can also fix the locking member 50 to the vaporization main
body 52 to prevent deviation of the locking member 50 from the lock position.
[0049] Further, the auxiliary assembly 90 includes a first magnetic member 92, a second
magnetic member 94, and a third magnetic member 96. The first magnetic member 92 is
arranged at an end of the vaporization main body 52 close to the replacement component
30, and the second magnetic member 94 and the third magnetic member 96 are spaced
apart on the locking member 50 along a sliding direction of the locking member 50.
When the locking member 50 is at the unlock position, the second magnetic member 94
is adsorbed to the first magnetic member 92 to fix the locking member 50 to the unlock
position. When the locking member 50 is at the lock position, the third magnetic member
96 is adsorbed to the first magnetic member 92 to fix the locking member 50 to the
lock position. When the locking member 50 switches between the unlock position and
the lock position, the first magnetic member 92 moves with the locking member 50 to
be misaligned with the second magnetic member 94 and the third magnetic member 96,
and the locking member 50 is no longer subjected to magnetic adsorption force and
can freely switch the position.
[0050] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the vaporization arrangement 100 is provided.
The vaporization arrangement 100 further includes a vaporization main body 52 and
a locking member 50, and the locking member 50 is arranged movably relative to the
vaporization main body 52. The locking member 50 is provided with a lock position
for opening an opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 and locking the replacement
component 30 and the vaporization main body 52, and an unlock position for blocking
the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15 while causing the locking member
to be separated from the replacement component 30. In other words, at the lock position,
the locking member 50 locks the replacement component 30 and the vaporization main
body 52, and fixes the replacement component 30 to the vaporization main body 52.
Moreover, the locking member 50 opens the opening of the first accommodating cavity
15, and the solid aerosol-generating substrate can be loaded into the first accommodating
cavity 15 through the opening of the first accommodating cavity 15. In this way, at
the lock position, the locking member 50 fixes the replacement component 30 in the
second accommodating cavity 17 and allows the solid aerosol-generating substrate to
be inserted into the first accommodating cavity 15, and the vaporization main body
52 can mix and vaporize a liquid aerosol-generating substrate in the replacement component
30 and the solid aerosol-generating substrate in the first accommodating cavity 15.
