Fig. 1-2 illustrate an electronic atomizing device 100 in some embodiments of the present invention, the electronic atomizing device 100 being operable to atomize a liquid substrate to produce an aerosol that can be inhaled or inhaled by a user, which in this embodiment can be generally cylindrical. It is understood that in other embodiments, the electronic atomizing device 100 may have other shapes such as an elliptic cylinder, a flat cylinder, or a square cylinder. The liquid matrix may include tobacco tar or liquid medicine.
The electronic atomizing device 100 may include a housing 10, a control module 20 housed in the housing 10, a power source 30, a gas source 40, and a liquid storage atomizing assembly 60. The control module 20 is electrically connected to the air source 40, and is configured to receive an instruction, where the instruction may be triggered by a user or automatically triggered when the electronic atomizing device 100 satisfies a certain condition, and the control module 20 controls the operation of the air source 40 according to the instruction. The power supply 30 is electrically connected to the control module 20 and the air source 40, respectively, and is used for providing electric energy to the control module 20 and the air source 40.
As shown in fig. 3, the reservoir atomization assembly 60 includes a reservoir housing 61 and a nozzle 62 at least partially housed within the reservoir housing 61. Wherein, a liquid storage cavity 610 for storing liquid matrix is formed in the liquid storage shell 61, an air flow channel 622 is formed in the nozzle 62, and a resistance liquid supply channel 611 which is communicated with the liquid storage cavity 610 and the air flow channel 622 is also formed in the liquid storage atomization assembly 60, so that the liquid matrix in the liquid storage cavity 610 can flow to the air flow channel 622 through the resistance liquid supply channel 611. The air source 40 is connected to the air flow passage 622 for providing a high velocity air flow through the air flow passage 622, which may typically be an air pump. The liquid medium entering the gas flow passage 622 from the resistance liquid supply passage 611 can be atomized by the high-speed gas flow flowing through the gas flow passage 622 to form fine liquid particles.
The resistive fluid supply channel 611 includes a fluid supply end segment 621 in communication with the fluid flow channel 622 and a body segment 612 in communication with the fluid supply end segment 621 and the fluid reservoir 610. The liquid supply end 621 may be capillaryThe channels, i.e. the liquid matrix, are capable of generating capillary forces in the liquid supply end 621. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the liquid supply end 621 may be less than 0.08mm 2
After the suction is finished, the air source 40 stops working, the negative pressure generated by the high-speed air flow in the resistance liquid supply channel 611 disappears, the power of the liquid matrix in the resistance liquid supply channel 611 flowing towards the direction of the nozzle 62 disappears, and the negative pressure exists in the liquid storage cavity 610, and the negative pressure in the liquid storage cavity 610 can suck back the liquid matrix in the liquid supply end 621, so that the liquid supply is not timely in the next suction. Therefore, by designing the liquid supply end 621 of the resistive liquid supply channel 611 adjacent to the air flow channel 622 as a capillary channel and ensuring that the liquid supply end 621 has a set of critical dimensions (e.g., channel cross-sectional area and channel length), capillary forces within the liquid supply end 621 are utilized to reduce backflow to achieve a stable liquid supply that is stopped immediately, preventing liquid matrix backflow to the liquid storage chamber 610 when the air source 40 is stopped from causing a delay in the next suction.
Figure 4 shows the liquid matrix 200 being forced within the liquid supply end 621 after the suction is stopped and the gas source 40 is stopped. After the air source 40 stops working, the dynamic force of the liquid matrix in the liquid supply end section 621 flowing towards the direction of the nozzle 62 disappears, and the stress condition and the liquid level movement condition of the liquid matrix 200 in the liquid supply end section 621 on the gas-liquid interface 201 are as follows:
if DeltaP Wool (fur) =Δp, the liquid level is stopped after a short movement in the direction of the liquid storage chamber 610, and there is a short delay when the air source 40 is started next time;
if DeltaP Wool (fur) <ΔP will continue to move toward the reservoir 610 until enough liquid matrix flows back into the reservoir 610 such that ΔP will decrease to a level equal to ΔP due to the rising of the liquid level in the reservoir 610 Wool (fur) The balance is maintained, and the liquid level movement is stopped, so that a relatively large cavity is formed in the resistance liquid supply channel 611, and a longer time delay is caused when the air source 40 is started next time;
if DeltaP Wool (fur) >Δp, the liquid level will not flow back and will atomize immediately the next time the air supply 40 is started.
Wherein Δp=reservoirNegative pressure in 610-gravity of liquid matrix in reservoir 610, ΔP Wool (fur) =capillary force within the liquid supply end 621.
In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the liquid supply end 621 is 0.07mm 2 (or aperture 0.3 mm), the channel length is not less than 2mm, and the liquid matrix in the liquid supply end 621 can not flow back to the liquid storage cavity 610 due to the negative pressure in the liquid storage cavity 610 when the air source 40 stops working, so that the effect of instant starting can be achieved. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the liquid supply end 621 may be 0.05mm 2 The channel length is more than or equal to 1mm, and stable liquid supply can be realized when the liquid supply is started and stopped. In other embodiments, the hydraulic diameter of the liquid supply end 621 is less than or equal to 0.3mm, and stable liquid supply can be realized when the liquid supply end stops. In general, the smaller the cross-sectional area of the liquid delivery end 621, the smaller the channel length of the liquid delivery end 621 that is required to achieve the instant start effect.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3 and 5-6, the resistance liquid supply channel 611 can also be used to control the flow rate of the liquid supplied to the air flow channel 622, so as to realize the quantitative liquid supply of the air flow channel 622. In general, the size of the resistive fluid supply channel 611 may be matched to the flow requirements, i.e., the resistive fluid supply channel 611 may produce a resistance that matches the fluid supply force at the design flow rate. Specifically, the negative pressure generated in the air flow channel 622 is hydraulic power, and the hydraulic resistance includes the resistance along the way of the resistance hydraulic channel 611 and the negative pressure in the liquid storage cavity 610. The specific diameter and length of the resistive feed channel 611 is designed by calculating the required on-path resistance of the resistive feed channel 611 at the design flow.
In general, the greater the viscosity of the liquid matrix, the greater the resistance of the liquid matrix to flow through the resistance liquid supply channel 611; the longer the length of the resistance fluid supply channel 611, the greater the resistance within the resistance fluid supply channel 611; the larger the sectional area of the resistance liquid supply passage 611, the smaller the resistance in the resistance liquid supply passage 611; the more tortuous the drag feed channel 611, the greater the drag in the drag feed channel 611. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the liquid matrix is 20cp to 250cp; the overall length of the resistance liquid supply channel 611 is 6mm to 15mm. The liquid supply end section 621 and the main body section 612 are straight channels extending along the transverse direction, and the liquid supply end section 621 and the main body section612 are coincident. The body section 612 is a weak capillary force channel, i.e., the liquid matrix is capable of generating weak capillary forces within the body section 612. The cross-sectional area of the body section 612 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the liquid supply end section 621. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the body section 612 may range from 0.09mm 2 ~0.16mm 2
In this embodiment, a liquid supply end segment 621 is formed in the nozzle 62 and a body segment 612 is formed in the liquid housing 61. The nozzle 62 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and may be longitudinally penetrating in the liquid storage case 61 and may be coaxially disposed with the liquid storage case 61. The air flow passage 622 extends longitudinally through the nozzle 62 and may be coaxially disposed with the nozzle 62. The liquid supply end 621 extends laterally inward from one side surface of the nozzle 62 to communicate with the air flow passage 622, and the direction of extension of the liquid supply end 621 is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the air flow passage 622. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the nozzle 62 may have other shapes, such as oval or square. In other embodiments, the liquid supply end 621 may be formed partially within the nozzle 62 and partially within the liquid housing 61; alternatively, the main body section 612 may be partially formed in the nozzle 62 and partially formed in the reservoir 61.
The air flow passage 622 may include an air supply passage 623 and an atomizing chamber 625. The nebulization chamber 625 is connected to the air supply 40 via an air supply channel 623 and communicates with the reservoir chamber 610 via an air supply end 621. The end surface of the atomizing chamber 625 near the air supply passage 623 forms an atomizing surface 6250, and an atomizing port 6251 is formed in the atomizing surface 6250. The high velocity air flow from the air supply channel 623 is ejected into the nebulization chamber 625 via the nebulization port 6251 and flows at high velocity in the nebulization chamber 625, the high velocity air flow creating a negative pressure in the liquid supply end segment 621 by the bernoulli equation, which negative pressure is conducted to the liquid reservoir 610 to draw the liquid matrix in the liquid reservoir 610 out to the nebulization chamber 625, forming a liquid film on the nebulization surface 6250. Along with the continuous liquid supply process, the liquid film moves to the edge of the hole wall of the atomization hole 6251 to meet the high-speed air flow, is cut and atomized into fine liquid particles by the high-speed air flow, is carried away from the atomization hole 6251 by the air flow, and is sprayed out along with the air flow to complete the atomization process. The atomization mode of the liquid matrix in the atomization cavity 625 is a non-phase-change atomization mode, and the particle size distribution of liquid particles formed after the atomization of the atomization cavity 625 can reach the range of smd=30 μm. Where SMD = total volume of liquid particles/total surface area of liquid particles, represents the average particle size of the liquid particles.
The chamber 625 is a straight cylindrical channel with a wall perpendicular to the atomizing face 6250. In this embodiment, the atomizing chamber 625 is a straight cylindrical channel, the atomizing surface 6250 is concentric with the annular shape, and the inner wall surface of the atomizing surface 6250 defines the atomizing outlet 6251. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the nebulizing chamber 625, nebulizing face 6250, or nebulizing port 6251 may be oval or rectangular, among other non-circular shapes.
The size and shape of the atomizing port 6251 and the atomizing chamber 625 can influence the magnitude of the negative pressure in the atomizing chamber 625 and the particle size of the generated liquid particles, and can make the flow rate more stable. In some embodiments, the aperture D of the atomizing port 6251, the aperture W1 of the atomizing chamber 625, and the length H of the atomizing chamber 625 may be sized as desired.
Specifically, the aperture D of the atomizing port 6251 is related to the velocity of the gas stream (m/s) exiting the atomizing port 6251, which can affect the particle size of the liquid particles produced. In some embodiments, the aperture D of the atomizing port 6251 can range from 0.2mm to 0.4mm, preferably from 0.22mm to 0.35mm.
The aperture W1 of the nebulization chamber 625 affects the amount of airflow velocity in the nebulization chamber 625 and thus the amount of negative pressure in the nebulization chamber 625 and the liquid supply end 621. This negative pressure may draw liquid matrix from liquid supply end 621 to nebulizing chamber 625. In some embodiments, the aperture W1 of the nebulization chamber 625 may range from 0.7mm to 1.3mm. The length H of the nebulizing chamber 625 may be 0.8mm to 3.0mm. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the atomizing port 6251 or the atomizing chamber 625 may also have a non-circular cross-section; when the atomizing port 6251 or the atomizing chamber 625 has a non-circular cross section, the aperture D of the atomizing port 6251 or the aperture W1 of the atomizing chamber 625, respectively, is its equivalent diameter. The term "equivalent diameter" refers to the diameter of a circular hole having equal hydraulic radius as defined as the equivalent diameter of a non-circular hole.
Further, in some embodiments, D ranges from 0.22mm to 0.35mm, H ranges from 1.5mm to 3.0mm, and W1 ranges from 0.7mm to 1.3mm, and the D, H, W range of values enables the nozzle 62 to be advantageous in the manufacturing process.
The end of the liquid supply end 621 that communicates with the nebulizing chamber 625 has a liquid supply opening 6210, the distance L between the liquid supply opening 6210 and the nebulizing surface 6250 being critical to ensure liquid film formation. In the present embodiment, the distance L between the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomizing face 6250 is the perpendicular distance between the center of the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomizing face 6250. In some embodiments, the distance L between the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomizing face 6250 can range from 0.3mm to 0.8mm, with L being preferably from 0.35mm to 0.6mm.
Further, the airflow channel 622 further includes an expansion channel 626, where the expansion channel 626 is communicated with one end of the atomization cavity 625 away from the air supply channel 623, and is used to diffuse and spray out liquid particles generated after atomization in the atomization cavity 625 in a jet form, so as to increase the spray area of the liquid particles. In this embodiment, the expanding channel 626 is a conical channel extending longitudinally and having a bore diameter that increases gradually from bottom to top. The atomization angle α of the expansion passage 626 (i.e., the divergence angle of the expansion passage 626) must have a proper range to ensure that the ejected liquid particles have a proper ejection range. In some embodiments, the atomization angle α of the expanding channel 626 may be 30 ° to 70 °. In other embodiments, the expansion channel 626 may have other shapes such as an elliptical cone shape or a pyramid shape.
The gas supply passage 623 may, in some embodiments, include an acceleration segment 6231, the acceleration segment 6231 having a converging shape with a cross-sectional area that gradually decreases from an end distal to the nebulization chamber 625 to an end proximal to the nebulization chamber 625, thereby enabling the gas stream from the gas source 40 to be accelerated and ejected into the nebulization chamber 625. In the present embodiment, the accelerating section 6231 is a conical channel extending longitudinally and having a gradually decreasing aperture from bottom to top, and the aperture of the upper end of the accelerating section 6231 is smaller than that of the atomizing chamber 625, so that the junction between the accelerating section 6231 and the atomizing chamber 625 forms a circular atomizing surface 6250. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the acceleration section 6231 may be other converging shapes such as elliptical cone shapes or pyramid shapes.
Further, the air supply channel 623 also includes a communication section 6232 in communication with the acceleration section 6231, the acceleration section 6231 being connected to the air source 40 through the communication section 6232. The communication section 6232 may be a straight cylindrical passage extending in the longitudinal direction, the upper end of the communication section 6232 being in communication with the acceleration section 6231, the aperture of the communication section 6232 being in accordance with the aperture of the lower end of the acceleration section 6231. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the communication segment 6232 may be elliptical or rectangular, among other non-circular shapes. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the air supply channel 623 formed within the nozzle 62 may also include only the acceleration segment 6231; alternatively, the air supply channel 623 may also include only the communication segment 6232 when the airflow rate is sufficient.
The reservoir 61 may include a reservoir body 613 and a reservoir 614 that cooperate with each other. In this embodiment, the reservoir 610 and the body section 612 are both formed within the reservoir body 613. Specifically, the bottom surface of the liquid storage main body 613 is concave upward to form an annular liquid storage cavity 610, and a side cavity wall surface of the liquid storage cavity 610, which is close to the nozzle 62, extends toward the nozzle 62 in the lateral direction to form a main body section 612. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the reservoir 610 and/or the body section 612 may be formed within the reservoir 614, or may be formed partially within the reservoir body 613, partially within the reservoir 614.
Further, the liquid storage shell 61 may further be formed with a liquid injection channel 615 in communication with the liquid storage cavity 610, so that the liquid medium in the liquid storage cavity 610 can be injected into the liquid storage cavity 610 again after the liquid medium in the liquid storage cavity 610 is used up. In the present embodiment, a liquid injection passage 615 is formed in the liquid storage main body 613 and extends in the longitudinal direction, and a lower end of the liquid injection passage 615 communicates with the liquid storage chamber 610.
Further, as further shown in fig. 2, the electronic atomizing device 100 further includes a heat generating member 80 accommodated in the housing 10. The heat generating element 80 is electrically connected to the power supply 30, and is capable of generating heat after being energized. The structure and the heating form of the heat generating member 80 are not limited, and for example, it may be a structure of a heat generating net, a heat generating sheet, a heat generating wire, or a heat generating film, and the heating form may be a heating form of resistance conduction heating, infrared radiation heating, electromagnetic induction heating, or composite heating. Also formed within the housing 10 is an output channel 70, and a heat generating member 80 may be disposed within the output channel 70 and above the nozzle 62. The liquid particles ejected from the nozzle 62 strike the heat generating element 80 upward, and are heated by the heat generating element 80 to generate aerosol, and the aerosol is then carried out of the output channel 70 by the airflow for inhalation or inhalation by the user.
In this embodiment, by adopting the manner that the nozzle 62 atomizes the continuously flowing liquid matrix into the liquid particles and then evaporates the liquid particles by the heating element 80, the surface area of the fine liquid particles formed after the nozzle 62 atomizes is greatly expanded, so that the heating and evaporation are easier, on one hand, the conversion efficiency of heat and aerosol can be improved, and on the other hand, the temperature of the evaporation process of the heating element 80 can be reduced, and the low-temperature atomization can be realized. At a lower heating atomization temperature, the liquid matrix mainly completes the physical change process, thereby solving the problem of thermal cracking deterioration of the liquid matrix caused by the atomization of the traditional porous ceramic or porous cotton in a high temperature mode, avoiding the phenomena of burning, carbon deposition, heavy metal volatilization and the like, keeping the special components of different liquid matrixes and essence and spice systems, and finally enabling an inhalator to feel the special taste corresponding to the original liquid matrix. In addition, the heating element 80 is not in contact with the liquid storage cavity 610, the heating element 80 is not soaked in the liquid matrix for a long time, and pollution of the heating element 80 to the liquid matrix is reduced, so that impurity gas in aerosol generated after atomization is reduced.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the liquid particles ejected by the nozzle 62 may also impinge downwardly on the heat generating element 80, i.e., the heat generating element 80 may also be disposed below the nozzle 62; alternatively, the liquid particles ejected by the nozzle 62 may also impinge the heat-generating element 80 laterally, i.e., the heat-generating element 80 is at or substantially at the same level as the nozzle 62. In other embodiments, the electronic atomizing device 100 may not be provided with the heat generating component 80, i.e., the liquid particles atomized by the nozzle 62 may be directly output through the output channel 70 and sucked or inhaled by the user.
Further, a bracket assembly 11 may be further disposed in the housing 10, and the bracket assembly 11 divides the housing 10 into a first receiving space 121 at an upper portion and a second receiving space 122 at a lower portion. The control module 20, the power source 30, and the air source 40 can be accommodated in the second accommodating space 122. The liquid storage atomizing assembly 60 can be accommodated in the first accommodating space 121 and can be supported on the bracket assembly 11. Further, the electronic atomizing device 100 may further include an air flow sensing element 50 disposed in the housing 10 and electrically coupled to the control module 20. The airflow sensing element 50 is received in the bottom of the frame assembly 11 and is capable of sensing airflow changes when the user inhales, which may typically be a negative pressure sensor, such as a microphone. The user suction action creates a negative pressure and the airflow sensing element 50 senses the negative pressure to generate a suction signal that may be transmitted to the control module 20 to control the operation of the air source 40 and/or the heat generating member 80.
Further, the electronic atomizing device 100 may further include a dust cap 90 detachably mounted on the upper end of the housing 10. When the electronic atomizing apparatus 100 is not required to be used, the dust cover 90 may be provided at the upper end of the housing 10 to prevent foreign substances such as dust from entering the output passage 70.
Fig. 7 shows a nozzle 62 in an alternative of the invention, which differs from the above-described embodiment mainly in that in this embodiment a liquid-feeding end section 621 and a liquid-feeding front section 624 are formed in the nozzle 62, which liquid-feeding end section 621 communicates with the atomizing chamber 625, and which liquid-feeding front section 624 communicates with the end of the liquid-feeding end section 621 remote from the atomizing chamber 625. The structure of the liquid supply end 621 is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be described again. The liquid supply front section 624 is a weak capillary force channel that forms part of the body section 612 in the above embodiments.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the hole wall surface of the expansion channel 626 is an arc surface, and the expansion channel 626 and the atomization cavity 625 are in streamline smooth connection, for example, tangent by a rounding manner. In some embodiments, the arcuate surface may be formed by a rounded corner or the like that also increases the atomization angle of the expansion channel 626, such as from 40 to 50. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the bore wall of the expansion channel 626 may have other streamlined expansion shapes.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, only the acceleration section 6231 is formed in the nozzle 62, and the atomizing chamber 625 is connected to the air source via the acceleration section 6231. It will be appreciated that the above technical features may be used in any combination without limitation.
