The heating assembly top cover 4 and the heating assembly base 6 define an atomization chamber 40. The atomization chamber 40 can be a cavity between the heating assembly top cover 4 and the heating assembly base 6.

The heating assembly 5 has a length of 5L. The atomizing chamber 40 has a maximum width of 4L 1. The length 5L of the heating assembly 5 is greater than the maximum width 4L1 of the nebulizing chamber 40.

A portion of the heating element 5 is disposed within the atomizing chamber 40. The ends of the heating module 5 extend from the aperture 4h of the heating module top cover 4 into the storage compartment 30. The heating element top cover 4 exposes a portion of the heating element 5. The heating block top cover 4 exposes both end portions of the heating block 5. Both ends of the heating unit 5 are exposed to the storage compartment 30. The tobacco tar in the storage compartment 30 can be adsorbed by the heating element 5 through both ends of the heating element 5. The tobacco tar adsorbed on the heating assembly 5 is heated by the heating circuit 51 to generate aerosol in the atomizing chamber 40. The aerosol may be inhaled by the user via the airflow channel 100t formed by the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cap 4, the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1.

In some embodiments, the mouthpiece cover 1 and the cartridge housing 2 may be integrally formed, with the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 being the same component.

The airflow channel 100t formed by the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4, the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a smooth inner diameter. The inner diameter of the air flow channel 100t does not have a significant step difference at the junction of the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 and the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2. The inner diameter of the air flow channel 100t does not have a significant step difference at the point where the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 meets the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The inner diameter of the airflow channel 100t does not have a distinct interface where the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 meets the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2. The inner diameter of the airflow passage 100t does not have a distinct interface where the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 meets the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4.

The airflow channel 100t formed by the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cap 4, the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have non-uniform inner diameter sizes. For example, the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 may have inner diameters 2L1 and 2L2, and the inner diameter 2L1 is greater than 2L 2. The tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 has internal diameters 1L1 and 1L2, and the internal diameter 1L1 is greater than 1L 2. In certain embodiments, the airflow channel formed by the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cap 4, the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2, and the tube 1t of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a uniform inner diameter.

Referring to fig. 4B, the heating element top cover 4 may have two portions. A portion of the heating assembly top cover 4 has a larger width. The inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40 may have a non-uniform width. For example, the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40 has a width of 4L2 and a maximum width of 4L1 due to the shape of the heating element top cover 4. Width 4L2 is less than width 4L 1.

The sealing assembly 3 is disposed between the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the first tube 4t1 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The seal assembly 3 may have a hardness less than the hardness of the cartridge housing 2. The seal assembly 3 may have a hardness less than the hardness of the heating assembly top cover 4. The sealing assembly 3 may increase the degree of seal between the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the first tube 4t1 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The sealing assembly 3 reduces the tolerance requirements of the tube 2t of the cartridge housing 2 and the first tube 4t1 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The sealing assembly 3 can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the cartridge housing 2 and the heating assembly top cover 4. The sealing assembly 3 prevents damage to the cartridge housing 2 and the heating assembly top cover 4 during assembly. The seal 3 also prevents the tobacco tar in the reservoir 30 from being drawn out of the hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1.

The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 may have an inner diameter smaller than the first tube 4t1 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 may have an outer diameter smaller than the first tube 4t1 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 extends into the atomizing chamber 40. The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 extends into the atomizing chamber 40. The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 extends in a direction opposite to the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1. The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 may bring the airflow path closer to the heating assembly 5. The second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 can enable the aerosol generated in the nebulizing chamber 40 to be more completely discharged from the air flow channel. The second tube 4t2 of the heating element top cover 4 prevents the aerosol generated in the atomizing chamber 40 from leaking into the storage compartment 30 from the gap between the sealing member 3 and the heating element top cover 4.

See fig. 4B. When a user inhales from the hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1, an airflow 100f is generated within the cartridge 100A. The front segment of the air flow 100f contains fresh air that enters the aerosolizing chamber 40 through the first aperture 7h1 of the cartridge base 7. The rear section of the airflow 100f contains the aerosol generated by the heating assembly 5. Fresh air enters the nebulization chamber 40 via the first aperture 7h1 of the cartridge base 7 and the aerosol generated by the heating assembly 5 is expelled along the airflow channel 100t from the aperture 1h reaching the mouthpiece cover 1.

The air flow 100f produces a temperature change between the heating element 5 and the second tube 4t2 of the heating element top cover 4. The aerosol generated by the heating assembly 5 undergoes a temperature change before reaching the second tube 4t2 of the heating assembly top cover 4.

The non-uniform width of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40 may enhance the temperature change of the air flow 100 f. The non-uniform width of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40 may accelerate the temperature change of the air flow 100 f. The temperature of the airflow 100f decreases from the width of 4L1 to 4L 2. The temperature drop is greater and faster when the air stream 100f flows from the width of 4L1 to 4L2 as compared to an atomizing chamber having a uniform inner wall width. By adjusting the width of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40, the temperature of the aerosol sucked from the hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 by the user can be controlled. In some embodiments, the atomization chamber 40 may also have substantially the same inner wall width.

After entering the atomizing chamber 40 from the first hole 7h1 of the cartridge base 7, the airflow 100f is heated by the heating element 5 to generate a temperature rise Tr. In certain embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 200 ℃ to 220 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 240 ℃ to 260 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 260 ℃ to 280 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 280 ℃ to 300 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 300 ℃ to 320 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature rise Tr may be in the range of 200 ℃ to 320 ℃.

The air flow from the atomising chamber 40 may produce a temperature drop Tf before reaching the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1. In certain embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 145 ℃ to 165 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 165 ℃ to 185 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 205 ℃ to 225 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 225 ℃ to 245 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 245 ℃ to 265 ℃. In certain embodiments, the temperature drop Tf may be in the range of 145 ℃ to 265 ℃.

The airflow passage 100t may have a non-uniform inner diameter. The inner diameter of the airflow passage 100t gradually increases from the position near the heating element 5 toward the hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1. The larger inner diameter near the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 may make the aerosol volume larger.

By adjusting the width of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40 and the inner diameter of the air flow passage 100t, the temperature of the aerosol sucked from the hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 by the user can be controlled. By adjusting the width of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 40 and the inner diameter of the air flow passage 100t, the volume of the aerosol sucked from the hole 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 by the user can be controlled.

The temperature of the aerosol can be controlled to avoid the user from being scalded by the aerosol. Controlling the aerosol volume can enhance the inhalation experience for the user.

In certain embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user via the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a temperature below 65 ℃. In certain embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user via the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a temperature below 55 ℃. In certain embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user via the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a temperature below 50 ℃. In certain embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user via the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a temperature below 45 ℃. In certain embodiments, the aerosol inhaled by the user via the aperture 1h of the mouthpiece cover 1 may have a temperature below 40 ℃.

In some embodiments, when the sensor 13 stops detecting inspiration, the sensor stops sending the sensing signal to the pin 151-7 of the controller 151, the controller 151 starts a timer to count the duration of time that the sensing signal is not received, and when the time reaches the threshold TN6, the controller 151 starts the low power mode. While in the standby state, the sensor 13 remains active. In some embodiments, the atomizer enters a standby state when the controller 151 initiates the low power mode.

In certain embodiments, the threshold TN1 is in the range of 15 seconds to 35 seconds. In certain embodiments, the threshold TN1 is in the range of 20 seconds to 30 seconds. In some embodiments, the threshold TN6 may be 25 seconds.

[ Low-resistance or high-resistance protection for load system ]

In certain embodiments, the impedance Z2 may be 2.5 ohms. The output system comprises a heating assembly 5. The output system comprises a conductive member 11. The atomizer 100 can detect the load of the output system, and if the load exceeds the normal working load range, the load abnormal protection mode is started, the signal provided to the output system is stopped, and a warning signal is generated.

In some embodiments, the controller 151, the output detection circuit 152, the conductive element 11, the sensor 13, and the light emitting element 155 are used in combination to perform the start load abnormality protection mode.

In some embodiments, the gates of the transistors 151-Q1 of the output detection circuit 152 receive the load detection enable signal R-DET-EN. The transistors 151-Q1 are enabled to detect the voltage drop across the sampling resistors 152-R5. In some embodiments, the sampling resistors 152-R5 may be connected in series with the load system (not shown). The load impedance of the load system can be obtained by detecting the voltage drop and current of the sampling resistors 152-R5.

In some embodiments, the output detection circuit 152 may detect the impedance value of the load system (e.g., the heating element 5 or the heating circuit 51) via the conductive element 11. The first conductive pin 11p1 of the conductive resistor 11 and the second conductive pin 11p2 of the conductive element 11 can be electrically connected to a load system (e.g., the heating element 5 or the heating circuit 51).

The voltage at circuit node N1 is associated with the impedance of the load system. The resistors 152-R11 and the resistors 152-R13 form a voltage divider circuit. The terminal of the voltage divider is connected to the node N1. Node N2 of the voltage divider circuit is coupled to pin 152-4 of the output detection circuit 152. The voltage at node N1 is provided to pin 152-4 of the output detection circuit 152 via node N2 of the voltage divider circuit. The pin 152-4 of the output detection circuit 152 outputs the load detection signal R-DET associated with the voltage at the circuit node N1. In some embodiments, pin 152-4 of the output detection circuit 152 may output a load detection signal R-DET that is associated with the impedance of the load system. In some embodiments, the load detection signals R-DET are output to pins 151-17 of the controller 151. In some embodiments, the load detection signal R-DET may be a voltage signal. In some embodiments, the load detection signal R-DET can be a current signal.

In some embodiments, the detection resistor 152-R5 is coupled to the output 152-5 of the output detection circuit 152 via a resistor 152-R3.

In some embodiments, the current detection signal I-DET can be a voltage signal. In some embodiments, the current detection signal I-DET can be a current signal.

In some embodiments, the controller 151 receives the load detection signals R-DET and the load current signals I-DET. In some embodiments, the controller 151 obtains the impedance of the load system based on the load detection signal R-DET and the load current signal I-DET.

In some embodiments, when the load detection signal R-DET is greater than the threshold SP1 (e.g., the first voltage threshold), the controller 151 controls the power resistor 20 to stop supplying power to the heating element 5. In some embodiments, when the load detection signal R-DET is less than the threshold SP2, the controller 151 controls the power resistor 20 to stop supplying power to the heating element 5. In some embodiments, the controller 151 controls the power resistor 20 to stop supplying power to the heating assembly 5 when the load current signal I-DET is greater than the threshold SP 3. In some embodiments, when the load current signal I-DET is less than the threshold SP4, the controller 151 controls the power resistor 20 to stop providing power to the heating assembly 5.

In some embodiments, when the impedance of the load system exceeds the range from the impedance Z1 to the impedance Z2 (greater than the impedance Z2 (e.g., the first impedance threshold) or less than the impedance Z1 (e.g., the second impedance threshold)), the pins 151-20 of the controller 151 stop providing the enable signal to the detection output circuit 152. The output detection circuit 152 stops providing the output signal to the conductive element 11. The conductive element stops transmitting the output signal to the heating element 5.

In some embodiments, the controller 151 controls the power resistor 20 to stop providing power to the heating assembly 5 when the impedance of the load system is outside of a normal operating impedance range.

In some embodiments, when the impedance of the load system exceeds the normal operating impedance range, the pin 151-12 of the controller 151 may output an alarm light signal WL4 to the light emitting element 155.

In some embodiments, the warning light signal is a time-varying intensity signal to cause the light emitting element 155 to emit a time-varying intensity light, and in some embodiments, the warning light signal is a pulse signal. In some embodiments, the warning light signal may be a pulse signal with a frequency of 2 Hz. In some embodiments, red light is emitted by LEDs 155-D3 of light emitting element 155. In some embodiments, LEDs 155-D3 emit a blinking red light. In some embodiments, LEDs 155-D3 emit blinking red light 3 times.

In certain embodiments, the load impedance of the load system outside the normal operating impedance range may be that the cartridge 100A is not normally engaged with the body 100B. In some embodiments, the load impedance of the load system exceeding the normal operating impedance range may be the occurrence of a short circuit in the load system.

When the impedance of the load system (e.g., heating element 5) is abnormal, the load system may be heated abnormally, which may overheat the load system and cause damage to the user, or the load system may not be heated normally, which may cause temperature rise, which may cause smoke to not generate aerosol in the atomizing chamber 40, which may cause incomplete combustion and may endanger the user. By starting the load abnormal protection mode, the power supply assembly can be prevented from outputting power to the load system beyond the normal impedance range, and the probability of harm to users is effectively reduced.

[ Warning of excessive smoking (vibration reminder) ]

In some embodiments, when the sensor 13 detects an inhalation, the sensor 13 sends a sensing signal to the controller 151, and the controller starts a counter to record the number of times the sensing signal is received. When the number of times of the counter reaches a threshold value TN7 (e.g., a first value), pins 151-15 of the controller 151 output a vibration enable signal MOTO-EN, which is transmitted to the vibrator 17 via the flat cable 16.

In some embodiments, the time for each inspiration exceeds a predetermined time (e.g., a second value), the controller 151 determines the valid inspiration and records a counter. If the inspiration does not continue for more than the predetermined time, the counter will ignore the inspiration.

In certain embodiments, the predetermined time is in the range of 0.7 seconds to 1.3 seconds. In some embodiments, the preset time may be 1 second. In some embodiments, the threshold TN7 may range from 10 times to 20 times. In some embodiments, the threshold TN7 may be 15 times.

In some embodiments, the base of the transistor 17-Q5 of the vibrator 17 receives the vibration enable signal MOTO-EN via the resistor 17-R24. The transistors 17-Q5 are turned on to start the motor (not shown) of the vibrator 17.
