Detailed Description

In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention may be embodied in many other forms different from those described herein and similar modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and, therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, an atomizing device 10 includes a housing 100, a storage member 200 and a charging assembly 300. Wherein an atomizing channel 110 for atomizing the solid atomizing medium 30 is provided in the housing 100. The storage piece 200 is arranged in the casing 100, the storage piece 200 is internally provided with a containing cavity 210 for storing the solid atomized medium 30, the bottom of the storage piece 200 is further provided with at least one discharge hole 220 communicated with the containing cavity 210, and the discharge hole 220 can be communicated with the atomization channel 110. The feeding assembly 300 is disposed in the housing 100, the feeding assembly 300 is used for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port 220, and when the feeding assembly 300 opens the discharge port 220, the accommodating chamber 210 is communicated with the atomizing channel 110 through the discharge port 220, so that the solid atomizing medium 30 in the accommodating chamber 210 enters the atomizing channel 110 from the discharge port 220. The solid atomizing medium 30 may include, but is not limited to, a bead or capsule with a flavor, a fragrance, or a solid tobacco oil, among others.

The solid aerosol 30 may be a granular solid tobacco tar that is capable of generating not only a fragrance upon atomization, but also a smoke for the smoker to smoke. The solid atomization medium 900 can be thought of as gradually diminishing in size during atomization, gradually depleting until disappearing (similar to the process of a camphor ball gradually diminishing when placed in a wardrobe); or solid compressed tobacco leaves or tobacco leaf purification objects, and waste materials generated after the solid compressed tobacco leaves are heated and atomized are discharged out of the smoking set. In some embodiments, the solid atomizing medium 30 can be provided in a spherical shape to facilitate rolling of the solid atomizing medium 30 from within the reservoir 200 into the atomizing channel 110.

In the atomizing device 10, when the accommodating chamber 210 of the storage member 200 is filled with the solid atomizing medium 30, a user can control the discharge port 220 of the storage member 200 to open through the feeding assembly 300, so that the solid atomizing medium 30 is transferred from the storage member 200 into the atomizing passage 110, and the atomizing passage 110 can atomize the solid atomizing medium 30 to form the aerosol. After a certain amount of the solid nebulizing medium 30 enters the nebulizing channel 110, the discharge hole 220 of the storage member 200 can be closed by the feeding assembly 300, so that the solid nebulizing medium 30 is prevented from continuing to enter the nebulizing channel 110, and the aerosol in the nebulizing channel 110 is prevented from flowing back into the storage member 200 from the discharge hole 220. Compared with the traditional electronic cigarette aroma-increasing structure which dissolves essence and spice in a liquid state, the electronic cigarette aroma-increasing structure has the advantages that the oil leakage problem and the like are solved, and the solid atomizing medium 30 is adopted in the electronic cigarette aroma-increasing structure, so that the oil leakage problem and the like can be avoided. The storage member 200 can seal the solid atomizing medium 30 therein, and prevent the solid atomizing medium 30 from deteriorating (such as oxidation) and the problems of odor leakage and the like. It is emphasized that, since the opening and closing of the discharge port 220 of the reservoir 200 can be controlled by the feeding assembly 300, the amount of the solid atomizing medium 30 (i.e., the amount of the solid atomizing medium 30 entering the atomizing channel 110) can be quantitatively controlled by the user according to actual needs. Therefore, the user can change the concentration and the taste of the aerosol by flexibly adjusting the addition amount of the solid atomization medium 30, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in some embodiments, the feeding assembly 300 includes a driving member 310 and an elastic member 320, the driving member 310 is disposed in the casing 100, one end of the elastic member 320 is connected to the driving member 310, the other end of the elastic member 320 is connected to the material storage member 200 or the casing 100, the driving member 310 is configured to move relative to the material storage member 200 under an external force to control the opening and closing of the material outlet 220, and elastically deform the elastic member 320, and the elastic member 320 is configured to provide an elastic restoring force to restore the driving member 310 and close the material outlet 220. The user can operate the driving member 310 to move relative to the storage member 200 to open the discharge port 220, so as to realize the quantitative addition of the solid atomization medium 30. When the user does not operate the driving member 310, the driving member 310 can be reset under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 320 to automatically close the discharge hole 220 of the storage member 200, which is more convenient and faster to operate.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, in some embodiments, the elastic member 320 is a compression spring, the storage member 200 further has a limiting chute 240, the driving member 310 is slidably disposed in the limiting chute 240, and the elastic member 320 is located at a side of the driving member 310 away from the discharge hole 220 and is connected between the driving member 310 and an inner wall of the limiting chute 240. The driving member 310 can slide along the direction of squeezing the elastic member 320 and open the discharge port 220 under the action of external force, as shown in fig. 1, the user can operate the driving member 310 to move leftward to approach and squeeze the elastic member 320, so that the discharge port 220 is communicated with the atomizing channel 110, and the solid atomizing medium 30 in the storage member 200 can automatically fall into the atomizing channel 110 under the action of gravity. When the elastic member 320 is in a natural state, that is, no external force is applied to the driving member 310 to compress the elastic member 320, the driving member 310 can be reset and close the discharge hole 220 by the elastic force of the elastic member 320. The limiting chute 240 can play a certain limiting and guiding role in the movement of the driving member 310, so that the driving member 310 can control the opening and closing of the discharge hole 220 of the storage member 200 more stably and reliably.

The arrangement of the partition plate 250 can prevent the solid atomization medium 30 in the containing cavity 210 from falling into the limiting chute 240, which can prevent the solid atomization medium 30 from colliding with the elastic member 320 and the driving member 310 in the limiting chute 240 to cause structural damage to the solid atomization medium 30; on the other hand, the solid atomization medium 30 can be prevented from interfering with the movement of the elastic member 320 and the driving member 310, so that the driving member 310 is prevented from being jammed due to the intervention of the solid atomization medium 30, and the smooth movement of the driving member 310 is ensured.

The driving member 310 is provided with a driving lever 312, one end of the driving lever 312 penetrates through the casing 100 and protrudes out of the outer surface of the casing 100, and the driving lever 312 is configured to drive the driving member 310 to move relative to the material storage member 200 under the action of an external force to control the opening and closing of the material outlet 220, and to enable the elastic member 320 to elastically deform. The user can operate the driving member 310 through the lever 312, and since one end of the lever 312 protrudes out of the outer surface of the housing 100, that is, one end of the lever 312 is exposed out of the housing 100, such a structure is convenient for the user to operate the lever 312.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, the housing 100 further has a guide slot 120, and one end of the shift lever 312 penetrates through the housing 100 through the guide slot 120 and can slide along the length extension direction of the guide slot 120 under the external force. The groove wall of the guide groove 120 can limit the shift lever 312, so as to guide the movement of the shift lever 312, and make the movement of the shift lever 312 more stable and accurate.

The wall of the heating chamber 112 is provided with a heating element 150, the heating element 150 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 500, the heating element 150 may be a resistance heating sheet, and the heating element 150 and the control circuit board 500 can generate heat after being electrified so as to heat and atomize the solid atomizing medium 30. It should be noted that the specific location of the heating element 150 can be flexibly adjusted by the user according to the actual needs, for example, the location of the heating element 150 can be the inner wall, the outer wall or the inner wall of the heating chamber 112, which is intended to provide sufficient heat to accelerate the atomization of the solid atomization medium 30.

By such a structural arrangement, on one hand, the solid atomization medium 30 can be positioned, and the solid atomization medium 30 is kept in the heating bin 112; on the other hand, it is also envisioned that the solid atomization medium 30 may also be swirled within a range of the U-shaped tubular heating chamber 112 (e.g., a user may have some wobble during use of the handheld atomization device 10), thereby accelerating atomization of the solid atomization medium 30.

The aerosol-generating substrate 40 may refer to, among other things, a material that can provide an aerosolized component by heating. For example, the aerosol-generating substrate 40 may refer to any tobacco-containing material. More specifically, the aerosol-generating substrate 40 may refer to one or more of tobacco, tobacco derivatives, expanded tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, or tobacco substitutes, and the like. The solid atomizing medium 30 can include, but is not limited to, a beaded or encapsulated flavor, fragrance, or solid tobacco oil, etc. The solid atomizing medium 30 may be a granular solid tobacco tar, which not only atomizes to generate a fragrance, but also generates smoke for the smoker to inhale. In some embodiments, the solid atomizing medium 30 can be provided in a spherical shape to facilitate rolling of the solid atomizing medium 30 from within the reservoir 200 into the atomizing channel 110.

In the aerosol mixing device, when the accommodating chamber 210 of the storage member 200 is filled with the solid atomization medium 30, a user can control the discharge hole 220 of the storage member 200 to open through the feeding assembly 300, so that the solid atomization medium 30 is transferred from the storage member 200 into the atomization channel 110, and the atomization channel 110 can atomize the solid atomization medium 30 to form the aerosol. After a certain amount of the solid aerosol medium 30 enters the atomization channel 110, the discharge port 220 of the storage member 200 may be closed by the charging assembly 300, so as to prevent the solid aerosol medium 30 from continuously entering the atomization channel 110, and prevent the aerosol in the atomization channel 110 from flowing back into the storage member 200 from the discharge port 220.

Compared with the traditional electronic cigarette aroma-increasing structure which dissolves essence and spice in a liquid state, the electronic cigarette aroma-increasing structure has the advantages that the oil leakage problem and the like are solved, and the solid atomizing medium 30 is adopted in the electronic cigarette aroma-increasing structure, so that the oil leakage problem and the like can be avoided. The storage member 200 can seal the solid atomizing medium 30 therein, and prevent the solid atomizing medium 30 from being oxidized and the fragrance from leaking out. It is emphasized that since the opening and closing of the discharge port 220 of the reservoir 200 can be controlled by the feeding assembly 300, the amount of the solid aerosol medium 30 (i.e., the amount of the solid aerosol medium 30 entering the aerosol passage 110) can be quantitatively controlled by the user according to actual needs. Therefore, the user can change the concentration and the taste of the aerosol by flexibly adjusting the addition amount of the solid atomization medium 30, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. Furthermore, since the heating chamber 211 and the nebulizing channel 110 are in direct communication to form a single air flow channel, so that the two aerosols generated by the solid nebulizing medium 30 and the aerosol-generating substrate 40, respectively, the aerosol generated by the aerosol-generating substrate 800 in the heating chamber 411 can be mixed directly with the aerosol generated by the solid nebulizing medium 900 when passing through the delivery channel 110, so that the two aerosols are mixed more uniformly.

The charging assembly 300 is capable of opening the discharge orifice 220 to allow the solid atomizing medium 30 to enter the atomizing passage 110 and be positioned above the aerosol-generating substrate 40. Gas from the external environment enters the heating chamber 211 within the housing 100 from the gas inlet 101 and the aerosol-generating substrate 40 in the heating chamber 211 is atomised to form an aerosol in a high temperature environment. When the high temperature air flow in the heating chamber 211 passes through the atomising channel 110, the solid atomising medium 30 located above the aerosol-generating substrate 40 is able to be rapidly atomised by the heating of the high temperature air flow. Where, in an embodiment, the aerosol-generating substrate 40 is a cigarette, the solid aerosol-generating medium 30 is located above the aerosol-generating substrate 40, it may be considered that the solid aerosol-generating medium 30 is in direct contact with the smoking segment of a cigarette. The temperature of the aerosol generated by the solid atomizing medium 30 is lower than the temperature of the aerosol generating substrate 40 (such as cigarettes) which is not combusted and atomized by heating, and the solid atomizing medium 30 is arranged above the aerosol generating substrate 40, so that the situation that harmful components are generated after the aerosol generated by the solid atomizing medium 30 passes through the aerosol generating substrate 40 again and is heated for the second time is avoided, and the mouth feel of mixed suction is ensured.

In another embodiment, a structure (e.g. a screen, etc.) may be provided between the solid aerosol generating substrate 40 and the solid aerosol generating medium 30, which structure may be arranged in the nebulization channel 110 and may be adapted to receive the solid aerosol generating medium 30.

The gas inlet 101 is used to allow the aerosol-generating substrate 40 to enter the heating chamber 211. The charging assembly 300 is capable of opening the discharge orifice 220 to allow the solid atomizing medium 30 to enter the atomizing passage 110 and be positioned below the aerosol-generating substrate 40. The aerosol mixing device further comprises a heating element 150 disposed within the nebulizing channel 110, the heating element 150 being configured to heat the solid nebulizing medium 30. The heating member 150 is arranged to raise the temperature of the local position of the solid atomization medium 30 in the atomization passage 110, so as to accelerate atomization of the solid atomization medium 30. In one embodiment, the solid atomization medium 30 can also be disposed below the atomization channel 110, and can be used to receive a structure (such as a screen, etc.) of the solid atomization medium 30.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the aerosol mixing device further includes a heating element 150 disposed within the nebulizing channel 110, the heating element 150 being configured to heat the solid nebulizing medium 30. The heating member 150 is arranged to raise the temperature of the local position of the solid atomization medium 30 in the atomization passage 110, so as to accelerate atomization of the solid atomization medium 30.
