Description

Atomizing device and device for storing solution

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates generally to nebulization devices (nebulization devices) and devices for storing solutions, and more particularly to electronic devices for providing inhalable aerosols (aerosol).

Background

An electronic cigarette is an electronic product that heats and atomizes an nebulizable solution and generates an aerosol for a user to inhale. In recent years, various electronic cigarette products have been produced by large manufacturers. Generally, an electronic cigarette product includes a housing, an oil chamber, an atomizing chamber, a heating element, an air inlet, an air flow channel, an air outlet, a power supply device, a sensing device and a control device. The oil storage chamber is used for storing the nebulizable solution, and the heating component is used for heating and nebulizing the nebulizable solution and generating aerosol. The air inlet and the aerosolizing chamber communicate with one another to provide air to the heating assembly when a user inhales. The aerosol generated by the heating element is first generated in the aerosolizing chamber and then inhaled by the user via the air flow passage and the air outlet. The power supply device provides the electric power required by the heating component, and the control device controls the heating time of the heating component according to the user inspiration action detected by the sensing device. The shell covers the above components.

Existing electronic cigarette products suffer from various drawbacks that may result from poor design of the relative positions of the various components. For example, common electronic cigarette products design the heating element, the airflow channel, and the air outlet to be vertically aligned with one another. Because the airflow channel has a certain length, the aerosol is cooled when passing through the airflow channel, and condensed liquid is formed and attached to the wall of the airflow channel. With this design, when the remaining condensed liquid reaches a certain volume, the condensed liquid is easily directed into the mouth of the user's mouth when inhaling, causing a choking negative experience.

Furthermore, existing electronic cigarette products do not allow for the prevention of condensate backflow. When the electronic cigarette product is placed in an inclined or inverted position, the condensed liquid remaining in the atomizing chamber or the airflow passage may overflow from the air inlet or the air outlet. Spilled condensate may cause damage to electrical components (e.g., sensing and control devices) within the electronic smoking product or cause a poor user experience.

Furthermore, existing electronic cigarette products do not take into account the pressure balance of the oil reservoir. In existing electronic cigarette products, the oil reservoir is typically designed to be completely sealed to prevent the aerosolizable solution from escaping. With the continuous use of the electronic cigarette product by the user, the nebulizable solution in the oil storage chamber is continuously consumed and reduced, so that the pressure in the oil storage chamber is reduced to form negative pressure. The negative pressure makes the solution that can atomize in the oil storage chamber be difficult to evenly flow to heating element on, makes heating element not evenly adsorb the solution that can atomize. At this time, when the temperature of the heating element rises, there is a high probability that the heating element will burn empty to generate scorched smell, which results in poor user experience.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

In view of the above, the present disclosure provides an atomization device and a device for storing a solution, which can solve the above problems.

An atomization device is provided. The proposed atomising device comprises a cartridge. The cartridge has a housing, a heating assembly, and a heating assembly top cap. The heating component is provided with a groove, and the opening of the groove faces to the first direction. The heating assembly top cap has an inverted component having a first cavity with an opening facing a second direction, wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

A device for storing a solution is presented. The proposed device for storing a solution comprises a housing, a heating assembly and a heating assembly top cover.

The conductive contact 9 is brought into contact with the conductive member 6p of the heating member 6 through the through hole 8h1 in the heating member base 8. The conductive contact 9 may be in physical contact with the conductive member 6 p. The conductive contact 9 and the conductive member 6p may be electrically connected to each other.

A base O-ring (O-ring)10 may be secured within a groove 8g of the heating element base 8. The base O-ring 10 and the heating element base 8 are coupled to each other and then nested within the cartridge metal base 11. The cartridge metal base 11 may be wrapped around the base O-ring 10. The cartridge metal base 11 may encase at least a portion of the heating element base 8.

One end of the conductive contact 9 passes through the through hole 8h1 on the heating element base 8, and the other end of the conductive contact 9 can be exposed through the through hole on the cartridge metal base 11.

As shown in fig. 3, the second cartridge 300A includes an oil storage compartment 30, an air intake passage 31, an air outlet passage 32, a first compartment structure 33 of the first cartridge housing 3 of the cartridge housing 3, a second compartment structure 34 of the second cartridge housing 3 of the cartridge housing 3, an air intake hole 31h, and an air outlet hole 32 h. In some embodiments, the inlet channel 31 and the outlet channel 32 may be located inside the cartridge housing 3. In some embodiments, the inlet channel 31 and the outlet channel 32 may be defined by the internal structure of the cartridge housing 3. As shown in fig. 3, the cartridge housing 3 and the first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 define an air intake channel 31. The cartridge housing 3 and the second compartment structure 34 of the cartridge housing 3 define the outlet channel 32. The intake passage 31 is in fluid communication with the intake holes 31 h. The outlet passage 32 is in fluid communication with the outlet aperture 32 h.

In certain embodiments, the length of the first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 is different from the length of the second compartment structure 34 of the cartridge housing 3. In certain embodiments, the length of the first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 is greater than the length of the second compartment structure 34 of the cartridge housing 3. In some embodiments, the maximum length 3L1 (e.g., a first length) of the first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 from the exit aperture 32h is greater than the maximum length 3L2 (e.g., a second length) of the second compartment structure 34 of the cartridge housing 3 from the exit aperture 32 h. As shown in fig. 3, the difference between length 3L1 and length 3L2 is length 3 LD. The first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 extends on one side (the left side as viewed in figure 3) of the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 8. The first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 extends over and covers one side of the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 8.

The liquid in the oil reservoir 8t can move toward the air intake passage 31 through the gap between the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 8 by capillary phenomenon (see fig. 5). The first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 covering the heating element top cover 4 and the side of the heating element base 8 prevents the liquid in the oil reservoir 8t from moving towards the air inlet channel 31. The first compartment structure 33 of the elongated cartridge housing 3 may block liquid in the reservoir 8t from leaking to the inlet passage 31.

In some embodiments, the diameter of the inlet channel 31 may be the same as the diameter of the outlet channel 32. In some embodiments, the diameter of the inlet channel 31 may be different from the diameter of the outlet channel 32. In some embodiments, the diameter of the inlet channel 31 may be smaller than the diameter of the outlet channel 32. The smaller diameter of the inlet channel 31 makes it easier for the sensor activation tube 7 to generate a negative pressure. The smaller diameter of the inlet channel 31 allows the sensor in the main body 100B to detect the inhalation of the user more easily. In some embodiments, a blocking member may be further disposed within the intake passage 31. As shown in fig. 3, a blocking member 35 is contained in the intake passage 31.

Figure 4A illustrates a cross-sectional view of a barrier assembly 35, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 4B illustrates a top view of a barrier assembly 35 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, the blocking element 35 has a first surface 35S1 and a second surface 35S 2. The barrier member 35 has the first opening 35O1 of the barrier member 35 on the first surface 35S 1. The dam member 35 has the second opening 35O2 of the dam member 35 on the second surface 35S 2. The extension of the first opening 35O1 of the stop assembly 35 to the second opening 35O2 of the stop assembly 35 forms the passage 35c of the stop assembly 35. The passage 35c of the blocking member 35 may be regarded as a part of the intake passage 31. In certain embodiments, the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 and the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 may be the same diameter. In certain embodiments, the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 and the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 may be different diameters. As shown in FIG. 4A, the diameter 35L1 of the first opening 35O1 of the stop assembly 35 may be less than the diameter 35L2 of the second opening 35O2 of the stop assembly 35.

The different opening diameters of the blocking member 35 prevent the user from making a squeak while inhaling. The different opening diameters of the blocking member 35 prevent the squeak sound from causing erroneous determination of the sensor in the main body 100B. The diameter 35L1 of the first opening 35O1 of the stop assembly 35 being smaller than the diameter 35L2 of the second opening 35O2 of the stop assembly 35 prevents the user from making a squeak when inhaling. The diameter 35L1 of the first opening 35O1 of the stop assembly 35 being smaller than the diameter 35L2 of the second opening 35O2 of the stop assembly 35 prevents squeak sounds from causing erroneous determinations of the sensor in the body 100B.

In certain embodiments, the diameter of the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.4mm to 0.5 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.5mm to 0.6 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.6mm to 0.7 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.7mm to 0.8 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.8mm to 0.9 mm. In certain embodiments, the first opening 35O1 of the barrier assembly 35 has a diameter of 0.69 mm.

In certain embodiments, the diameter of the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.4mm to 0.6 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.6mm to 0.8 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 0.8mm to 1.0 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 1.0mm to 1.2 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 is in the range of 1.2mm to 1.4 mm. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the second opening 35O2 of the barrier assembly 35 is 0.9 mm.

The barrier member 35 may have a thickness 35T1 on the first surface 35S 1. The barrier member 35 may have a thickness 35T2 on the second surface 35S 2. Thickness 35T1 is greater than thickness 35T 2. The thickness 35T2 creates a height drop within the intake passage 31. Since the liquid or soot accumulated in the oil reservoir 8t has viscosity, even if the liquid or soot in the oil reservoir 8t leaks into the cavity 8c2, the height difference prevents the liquid or soot from entering the air intake passage 31 through the passage 35c of the blocking member 35. The height difference can prevent liquid or tobacco tar from overflowing from the air inlet hole 31 h.

In certain embodiments, the barrier assembly 35 may be made of silicone. In some embodiments, the blocking member 35 may be a silicone ring. In some embodiments, the barrier assembly 35 may be made of the same material as the cartridge housing 3. In some embodiments, the barrier assembly 35 may be made of a different material than the cartridge housing 3. In certain embodiments, the barrier assembly 35 and the cartridge housing 3 may be two separate components. In certain embodiments, the barrier assembly 35 may be integrally formed with the cartridge housing 3.

As shown in fig. 5, the third cartridge 500A includes an oil storage compartment 50, an air inlet passage 51, an air outlet passage 52, a partition structure 53, a partition structure 54, an air inlet hole 51h, and an air outlet hole 52 h. As shown in FIG. 5, the maximum length of the compartment structure 53 from the exit aperture 52h is the same as the maximum length of the compartment structure 54 from the exit aperture 32h (length 5L shown in FIG. 5). No blocking member is provided in the intake passage 51. Referring to both fig. 3 and 5, the length 5L of the compartment structure 53 is shorter than the length 3L1 of the first compartment structure 33 of the cartridge housing 3 of fig. 3, and no blocking member is disposed in the air inlet passage 51.

As shown in fig. 5, the compartment structure 53 does not completely cover one side of the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 8. The compartment structure 53 does not cover the gap between the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 8.

In the third cartridge 500A shown in fig. 5, the condensed liquid may move from the oil reservoir 8t in the direction shown by the arrow 5A toward the intake passage 51 and the intake hole 51h due to capillary phenomenon. The condensed liquid overflowing from the air inlet hole 51h may cause damage to electrical components (e.g., sensing and control devices) within the electronic cigarette product or cause a poor experience for the user. However, the design of the length of the compartment structure of the second cartridge 300A shown in FIG. 3 and the design of the blocking member in the air intake passage solve the above problems.

Fig. 6A illustrates a perspective view of a heating assembly top cover 4, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 6B illustrates a cross-sectional view of a heating assembly top cover 4, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 6C illustrates a bottom schematic view of the heating assembly top cover 4, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 6A, 6B and 6C, the heating element top cover 4 has a top surface 4u and a bottom surface 4B.

The heating block top cover 4 has a third opening 4h3 of the heating block top cover 4 and a fourth opening 4h4 of the heating block top cover 4 on the bottom surface 4 b. The first opening 4h1 of the heating module top cover 4 extends into the heating module top cover 4 and forms a passageway (e.g., the first passageway 4c1 of the heating module top cover 4 shown in fig. 6B) that is oriented toward the third opening 4h3 of the heating module top cover 4. The second opening 4h2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 extends into the heating assembly top cover 4 and forms a channel (e.g., the second channel 4c2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 shown in fig. 6B) that faces the fourth opening 4h4 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The nebulizable material (e.g., tobacco tar) stored in the reservoir 30 can enter the first channel 4c1 of the heating module top cover 4 from the first opening 4h1 of the heating module top cover 4 and flow into the groove 6c of the heating module 6 via the third opening 4h3 of the heating module top cover 4. The nebulizable material (e.g., tobacco tar) stored in the reservoir 30 can enter the second channel 4c2 of the heating module top cover 4 from the second opening 4h2 of the heating module top cover 4 and flow into the groove 6c of the heating module 6 via the fourth opening 4h4 of the heating module top cover 4.

In some embodiments, the oil inlet passages formed by the first opening 4h1 of the heating assembly top cover 4, the first passage 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the third opening 4h3 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the oil inlet passages formed by the second opening 4h2 of the heating assembly top cover 4, the second passage 4c2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the fourth opening 4h4 of the heating assembly top cover 4 may be substantially symmetrical to each other. In certain embodiments, the oil feed passages formed by the first opening 4h1 of the heating assembly top cover 4, the first passage 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4, and the third opening 4h3 of the heating assembly top cover 4 are not symmetrical to the oil feed passages formed by the second opening 4h2 of the heating assembly top cover 4, the second passage 4c2 of the heating assembly top cover 4, and the fourth opening 4h4 of the heating assembly top cover 4. In some embodiments, the heating assembly top cover 4 may have more openings. In certain embodiments, the heating assembly top cover 4 may have fewer openings. In some embodiments, the heating assembly top cover 4 may have more channels. In certain embodiments, the heating assembly top cover 4 may have fewer channels.

As shown in fig. 3 and 6B, the first passage 4c1 of the heating module top cover 4 has a first surface 4s1 of the heating module top cover 4 and a second surface 4s2 of the heating module top cover 4. In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 4s1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 is between 95 and 180 degrees.

In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 4s1 of the heating assembly lid 4 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating assembly lid 4 of the first passageway 4c1 of the heating assembly lid 4 is between 120 and 140 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 4s1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 is between 140 and 160 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 4s1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 is between 160 and 180 degrees. The angular disposition between the first surface 4s1 of the heating assembly lid 4 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating assembly lid 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating assembly lid 4 is such that the channel 4c1 has a turn. The angle between the first surface 4s1 of the heating unit cover 4 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating unit cover 4 of the first passage 4c1 of the heating unit cover 4 allows the soot in the oil reservoir 30 to more smoothly enter the groove 6c of the heating unit 6. The turn in the first passage 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 allows the soot in the reservoir 30 to more smoothly enter the groove 6c of the heating assembly 6.

The groove 6c of the heating element 6 has a first surface 6s1, a second surface 6s2 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6, and a third surface 6s3 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6. The angle between the first surface 6s1 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the second surface 6s2 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 is between 95 and 180 degrees.

In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 6s1 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating element top cover 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 5 and 10 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 6s1 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating element top cover 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 10 and 15 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the first surface 6s1 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the second surface 4s2 of the heating element top cover 4 of the first channel 4c1 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 15 and 20 degrees.

In certain embodiments, the angle between the third surface 6s3 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the surface 4s3 of the second channel 4c2 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 5 and 20 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the third surface 6s3 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the surface 4s3 of the second channel 4c2 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 5 and 10 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the third surface 6s3 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the surface 4s3 of the second channel 4c2 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 10 and 15 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the third surface 6s3 of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and the surface 4s3 of the second channel 4c2 of the heating element top cover 4 is between 15 and 20 degrees.

The angle configuration of the first passage 4c1 of the heating element top cover 4 and the second passage 4c2 of the heating element top cover 4 into the groove 6c of the heating element 6 is designed to facilitate the flow of the tobacco tar into the groove 6c of the heating element 6 and prevent the tobacco tar entering the groove 6c of the heating element 6 from flowing back to the oil storage compartment 30, so as to maintain the quality of the tobacco tar in the oil storage compartment 30.

Referring to fig. 6B, the heating assembly top cover 4 has an inverted component 4i between the first channel 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the second channel 4c2 of the heating assembly top cover 4. The reversing element 4i comprises a first section 4i1 of the reversing element 4i, a second section 4i2 of the reversing element 4i, a third section 4i3 of the reversing element 4i and a fourth section 4i4 of the reversing element 4 i. The first section 4i1 of the reversing component 4i extends in a direction. The second section 4i2 of the reversing component 4i extends in a direction. The third section 4i3 of the reversing component 4i extends in a direction. In certain embodiments, the direction of extension of the first section 4i1 of the reversing element 4i and the direction of extension of the second section 4i2 of the reversing element 4i may be parallel. In certain embodiments, the direction of extension of the first segment 4i1 of the reversing assembly 4i and the direction of extension of the third segment 4i3 of the reversing assembly 4i may be parallel. In certain embodiments, the direction of extension of the second section 4i2 of the reversing assembly 4i and the direction of extension of the third section 4i3 of the reversing assembly 4i may be parallel. In certain embodiments, the direction of extension of the first section 4i1 of the reversing element 4i and the direction of extension of the second section 4i2 of the reversing element 4i may not be parallel. In certain embodiments, the direction of extension of the first section 4i1 of the undercut assembly 4i and the direction of extension of the third section 4i3 of the undercut assembly 4i may not be parallel. In certain embodiments, the direction of extension of the second section 4i2 of the undercut assembly 4i and the direction of extension of the third section 4i3 of the undercut assembly 4i may not be parallel.

The first section 4i1 of the reversing element 4i, the second section 4i2 of the reversing element 4i and the third section 4i3 of the reversing element 4i may be connected to each other via the fourth section 4i4 of the reversing element 4 i. In some embodiments, the extension direction (e.g., vertical direction in fig. 6B) of the first section 4i1 of the reversing element 4i, the second section 4i2 of the reversing element 4i, and the third section 4i3 of the reversing element 4i is substantially perpendicular to the extension direction (e.g., horizontal direction in fig. 6B) of the fourth section 4i4 of the reversing element 4 i. In some embodiments, the first section 4i1 of the reversing element 4i, the second section 4i2 of the reversing element 4i, and the third section 4i3 of the reversing element 4i extend in a direction other than perpendicular to the direction of extension of the fourth section 4i4 of the reversing element 4 i. In some embodiments, the reversing component 4i may be composed of more sections. In certain embodiments, the undercut assembly 4i may be comprised of fewer sections.

As shown in fig. 6B, the length of the first section 4i1 of the toggle assembly 4i is less than the length of the second section 4i2 of the toggle assembly 4 i. The length of the first section 4i1 of the back-off assembly 4i is smaller than the length of the third section 4i3 of the back-off assembly 4 i. In certain embodiments, the length of the second section 4i2 of the reversing assembly 4i and the length of the third section 4i3 of the reversing assembly 4i may be the same. In certain embodiments, the length of the second section 4i2 of the reversing assembly 4i and the length of the third section 4i3 of the reversing assembly 4i may be different. Since the length of the first section 4i1 of the flip-flop module 4i is short, the tobacco tar in the oil storage compartment 30 is liable to flow into the groove 6c of the heating module 6 after passing through the turn of the first passage 4c1 of the heating module top cover 4.

The first section 4i1 of the back-off assembly 4i, the second section 4i2 of the back-off assembly 4i and the fourth section 4i4 of the back-off assembly 4i form a first chamber 41. The second section 4i2 of the back-off assembly 4i, the third section 4i3 of the back-off assembly 4i and the fourth section 4i4 of the back-off assembly 4i form the second chamber 42. The first chamber 41 has an opening 41v of the first chamber 41. The second chamber 42 has an opening 42v of the second chamber 42. The openings of the first cavity 41 and the second cavity 42 face the direction of the groove 6c of the heating element 6 (vertically downward direction in fig. 6B). The openings of the first and

second cavities

41 and 42 face in the opposite direction to the opening of the recess 6c of the heating element 6. The first chamber 41 is in fluid communication with the recess 6c of the heating assembly 6 via an opening 41v of the first chamber 41. The second chamber 42 is in fluid communication with the recess 6c of the heating assembly 6 via an opening 42v of the second chamber 42.

In some embodiments, the inverted component 4i may have extra chambers in addition to the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42. In some embodiments, the undercut assembly 4i may have a single cavity.

During continued use of the atomizing device 100, the atomizing material in the reservoir 30 is continuously consumed to generate bubbles in the reservoir 30. In certain embodiments, the nebulizable material (e.g., tobacco tar) may be in direct contact with the heating assembly 6 via the inner walls of the recess 6c of the heating assembly 6. During heating of the atomizing device, bubbles may also be generated in the heating assembly 6.

Since the inverted buckle assembly 4i has the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42, a portion of the air bubbles can be gathered or accumulated in the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42, thereby dispersing the entire air bubble volume of the oil storage chamber 30. Reducing the volume of the gas bubble within the reservoir 30 can avoid the gas bubble from obstructing the first passage 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 or the second passage 4c2 of the heating assembly top cover 4. Reducing the volume of the bubbles in the reservoir 30 avoids the problem of inconsistent oil feed. Accordingly, the nebulizable material (e.g., tobacco tar) in the reservoir 30 can be made to flow uniformly onto the heating element, and the heating element can be made to adsorb the nebulizable material (e.g., tobacco tar) uniformly.

Fig. 7B illustrates a schematic view of a sidewall of a heating element seal, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7C illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of a cartridge according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 7D illustrates a side wall schematic of a heating element seal according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 7A, 7B, and 7C, the heating element seal 5 has a top 501, a bottom 503, and a sidewall 505 extending between the top 501 and the bottom 503. The side wall 505 has a first groove 5g1 of the heating assembly seal 5. The top 501 of the heating assembly seal 5 has a second groove 5g2 of the heating assembly seal 5. The bottom 503 of the heating block seal 5 has a third groove 5g3 of the heating block seal 5.

The sidewall 505 includes a first divider 5p, the first divider 5p includes a first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and a second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p, and one end of the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p is directly connected to one end of the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5 p. The other end of the first section 5p1 of the first partition 5p forms a first gap 5v1 with one side 5s1 of the first groove 5g1 of the heating element seal 5. The other end of the second section 5p2 of the first partition 5p forms a second gap 5v2 with the other side 5s2 of the first groove 5g1 of the heating assembly seal 5. In certain embodiments, between the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5pAngle of (2)₁Between 90 and 180 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle θ between the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p₁Between 90 and 120 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle θ between the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p₁Between 120 and 150 degrees. In certain embodiments, the angle between the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p₁Between 150 and 180 degrees. In some embodiments, the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p form a V-shape with an opening facing upward (e.g., the vertically upward direction shown in fig. 7B).

The sidewall 505 of the heating assembly enclosure 5 further comprises a second partition 5 q. The second spacer 5q comprises a first section 5q1 of the second spacer 5q and a second section 5q2 of the second spacer 5 q. A third gap 5v3 is formed between the first section 5q1 of the second spacer 5q and the second section 5q2 of the second spacer 5 q. The first section 5q1 of the second partition 5q and the second section 5q2 of the second partition 5q have an angle therebetween₂. In certain embodiments, the angle θ between the first section 5q1 of the second divider 5q and the second section 5q2 of the second divider 5q₂Angle θ between the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p₁May be different. In certain embodiments, the angle θ between the first section 5q1 of the second divider 5q and the second section 5q2 of the second divider 5q₂Angle θ between the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p₁May be the same. In some embodiments, the first section 5p1 of the first divider 5p and the second section 5p2 of the first divider 5p form an inverted V shape with an opening facing downward (e.g., vertically downward as shown in fig. 7B).

When the heating element seal 5 is placed on the heating element 6, at least one cavity (or air-permeable passage) is defined between the first partition 5p, the second partition 5q, the first groove 5g1 of the heating element seal 5 and the heating element 6. In detail, the third groove 5g3, the third gap 5v3, the first gap 5v1 of the heating element seal 5 and the second groove 5g2 of the heating element seal 5 may define a first air-permeable channel 5c1 (as shown in fig. 7D). The atomizing chamber 8c can be in fluid communication with a reservoir (such as reservoir 30 shown in fig. 3) via the first gas-permeable passage 5c 1. The third groove 5g3, the third gap 5v3, the second gap 5v2 of the heating element seal 5 and the second groove 5g2 of the heating element seal 5 may define a second air-permeable channel 5c2 (as shown in fig. 7D). The atomizing chamber 8c can be in fluid communication with a reservoir (such as reservoir 30 shown in fig. 3) via a second gas-permeable passage 5c 2.

As the user continues to use the aerosolization apparatus, the aerosolizable material within the reservoir 30 is continually consumed and reduced, causing the pressure within the reservoir 30 to gradually decrease. A negative pressure may be generated when the pressure in the storage chamber 30 becomes small. The reduced pressure in the reservoir 30 may make it difficult for the aerosolizable material (e.g., tobacco tar) to flow through the first passage 4c1 of the heating assembly top cover 4 and the second passage 4c2 of the heating assembly top cover 4 to the groove 6c of the heating assembly 6. When the grooves 6c of the heating member 6 do not completely adsorb the nebulizable material, the heating member 6 of high temperature may dry burn and generate a scorched smell.

The above problem is ameliorated by the provision of a vent passage in the side wall of the heating assembly seal 5. The vent passages formed in the side walls of the heating element seal 5 (flow direction as shown by the arrows in fig. 7D) may equalize the pressure within the reservoir 30.

Fig. 8A illustrates a perspective view of a heating element seal according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 8B illustrates an enlarged schematic view of a sidewall of a heating element seal according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 8C illustrates a cross-sectional view of a heating assembly seal, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 8A, 8B and 8C, the heating element seal 5' has a top 801, a bottom 803 and a sidewall 805 extending between the top 801 and the bottom 803. The side wall 805 includes a first partition 8p1 of the heating element seal 5 'and a second partition 8p2 of the heating element seal 5'. One end of the first partition 8p1 of the heating element seal 5 'is connected to the top portion 801 and the other end of the first partition 8p1 of the heating element seal 5' is connected to the bottom portion 803. One end of second partition 8p2 of heating assembly seal 5 'is connected to top 801 and the other end of second partition 8p2 of heating assembly seal 5' is connected to bottom 803. In certain embodiments, first partition 8p1 of heating assembly seal 5 'and second partition 8p2 of heating assembly seal 5' are substantially parallel to each other. In certain embodiments, first partition 8p1 of heating assembly seal 5 'and second partition 8p2 of heating assembly seal 5' may be non-parallel. In certain embodiments, the heating assembly seal 5' may include more partitions that are substantially parallel to each other. In certain embodiments, the heating assembly seal 5' may include more partitions that are not parallel to each other. In certain embodiments, the heating assembly seal 5' may include fewer partitions.

The side wall 805 of the heating assembly seal 5 'has a first groove 8g1 of the heating assembly seal 5'. The top 801 of the heating assembly seal 5' has a second groove 8g2 of the heating assembly seal 5' and the bottom 803 has a third groove 8g3 of the heating assembly seal 5 '. Heating element seal 5' also includes fourth groove 8g4 of heating element seal 5' and fifth groove 8g5 of heating element seal 5 '. The first partition 8p1 of the heating module seal 5' is arranged between the first groove 8g1 of the heating module seal 5' and the fourth groove 8g4 of the heating module seal 5 '. The second partition 8p2 of the heating assembly seal 5' is arranged between the first groove 8g1 of the heating assembly seal 5' and the fifth groove 8g5 of the heating assembly seal 5 '.

The first partitions 8p1, 8p2 of the heating element seal 5', the first groove 8g1 of the heating element seal 5' to the fifth groove 8g5 of the heating element seal 5' define at least one cavity (or ventilation channel) between the heating element 6. In detail, the third groove 8g3 of the heating assembly seal 5', the first groove 8g1 of the heating assembly seal 5', the second groove 8g2 of the heating assembly seal 5', the first partitions 8p1, 8p2 of the heating assembly seal 5' delimit a first air-permeable channel. The fourth groove 8g4 of the heating element seal 5', the first partition 8p1 of the heating element seal 5' and the heating element 6 define a second air-permeable passage therebetween. A third air-permeable passage is defined between the fifth groove 8g5 of the heating assembly seal 5', the second partition 8p2 of the heating assembly seal 5' and the heating assembly 6. In certain embodiments, the cartridge may contain more ventilation channels. In certain embodiments, the cartridge may contain fewer ventilation channels. With the above arrangement, the atomizing chamber 8c can be brought into fluid communication with a reservoir (e.g., the reservoir 30 shown in fig. 3) via the gas-permeable passage, so that the pressure in the reservoir 30 can be equalized.

As shown in fig. 9, the heating element base 8 includes a supporting member 81 and a supporting member 82, and a storage tank 8t between the supporting member 81 and the supporting member 82. The storage tank 8t is used for storing condensed liquid or smoke oil. The support member 81 is disposed adjacent to the intake passage 31. The support member 82 is disposed adjacent to the air outlet passage 32. In some embodiments, the support member 81 and/or the support member 82 may have a snap portion. The heating assembly base 8 may be coupled to the heating assembly top cover 4 via a snap-fit portion. The heating assembly base 8 may be removably coupled with the heating assembly top cover 4 via a snap-fit portion. The heating element 6 is disposed between the heating element top cover 4 and the heating element base 8.

The supporting member 81 may have a first surface 81s1 and a second surface 81s 2. In certain embodiments, the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 is not coplanar with the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81. A stepped structure is formed between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81. The first surface 81s1 of the supporting member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the supporting member 81 have a height difference therebetween. In certain embodiments, the difference in height between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81 is in the range of 0.2mm to 0.3 mm. In certain embodiments, the difference in height between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81 is in the range of 0.3mm to 0.4 mm. In certain embodiments, the difference in height between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81 is in the range of 0.4mm to 0.5 mm. In certain embodiments, the difference in height between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81 is in the range of 0.5mm to 0.6 mm. In certain embodiments, the difference in height between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81 is in the range of 0.6mm to 0.7 mm. In certain embodiments, the difference in height between the first surface 81s1 of the support member 81 and the second surface 81s2 of the support member 81 is 0.5 mm. The design of the stepped structure allows the soot to easily flow toward the second surface 81s2 of the supporting member 81 and not to easily stay on the first surface 81s1 of the supporting member 81. The design of the height difference can reduce the probability of smoke oil passing through the through hole 81 h.

The support member 81 includes one or more through holes 81h penetrating the support member 81 from the first surface 81s 1. As shown in fig. 9, the support member 81 may have 6 through holes 81 h. The through hole 81h communicates the atomizing chamber 8c and the intake passage 31 with each other. The aperture area of the through-hole 81h is designed to allow gas to pass therethrough. The arrangement of the through holes 81h is designed to allow the gas to pass therethrough. In some embodiments, the support member 81 may include more through holes. In certain embodiments, the support member 81 may include fewer through holes.

The aperture area of the through hole 81h is designed to make the smoke not easily pass through. The arrangement of the through holes 81h is designed to make the smoke not easily pass through. In some embodiments, the diameter of each of the through holes 81h is in the range of 0.2mm to 0.3 mm. In some embodiments, the diameter of each of the through holes 81h is in the range of 0.3mm to 0.4 mm. In some embodiments, the diameter of each of the through holes 81h is in the range of 0.4mm to 0.5 mm. In some embodiments, the diameter of each of the through holes 81h is in the range of 0.5mm to 0.6 mm. In some embodiments, the diameter of each of the through holes 81h is in the range of 0.6mm to 0.7 mm. In some embodiments, each of the through holes 81h may have a diameter of 0.55 mm.

The support member 82 has a ramp structure 82r near the bottom of the heating element base 8. The ramp structure 82r may form a barrier to the reservoir 8 t. The slope 82r prevents the soot or liquid accumulated in the oil reservoir 8t from entering the air outlet passage 32 during the inhalation of the user. The stepped structure prevents the smoke or liquid accumulated in the oil reservoir 8t from entering the air outlet passage 32 during the inhalation of the user.

In some embodiments, an oil absorbent cotton (not shown) may be disposed at the bottom of the oil storage tank 8 t. The oil absorption cotton can absorb the tobacco oil or liquid accumulated in the oil storage tank 8 t. The smoke oil or liquid absorbed by the oil absorption cotton is not easy to flow in the oil storage tank 8 t.
