  • For a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific implementations of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • FIG. 1 is an electronic vaporization device according to some embodiments of the present invention. The electronic vaporization device may be applied to heating and vaporization of a liquid vaporizable substrate. The electronic vaporization device may be roughly in a shape of an elliptical cylinder, and includes a vaporizer 1 and a power supply apparatus 2 axially connected with the vaporizer 1. The vaporizer 1 is configured to accommodate the liquid vaporizable substrate, heat and vaporize the substrate, and transmit vapor. The power supply apparatus 2 is configured to supply power to the vaporizer 1 and control operations such as turn-on or turn-off of the entire electronic vaporization device. It may be understood that the electronic vaporization device is not limited to the shape of an elliptical cylinder, and may alternative be in a shape of a cylinder, a flat column, or a cuboid.
  • As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the power supply apparatus 2 may include a lower shell 21, an airflow sensor 24 arranged in the lower shell 21, a mounting base 23 arranged in the lower shell 21 and configured to mount the airflow sensor 24, and a battery 22 arranged in the longitudinal direction in the lower shell 21. A top part of the lower shell 21 is open, and the vaporizer 1 may be inserted into the lower shell 21 through the open top part. A bottom wall of the lower shell 21 extends upward to form a tube-shaped insertion portion 211, where the inner wall surface of the insertion portion 211 defines a mounting cavity 2111, an air inlet hole 210 that is in communication with outside is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 2111 to communicate the mounting cavity 2111 with outside. An annular air inlet channel 220 that is in communication with the mounting cavity 2111 is formed between the inner wall surface of the lower shell 21 and the outer wall surface of the battery 22.
  • In some embodiments, the mounting base 23 may be integrally formed by an elastic material such as silicone, and may include a lower sleeve portion 231 arranged on a lower part and an upper sleeve portion 232 arranged on an upper part. The lower sleeve portion 231 may be closely embedded in the insertion portion 211, where a vent groove 2110 connecting the mounting cavity 2111 with the air inlet channel 220 is provided on the side wall of the insertion portion 211. A bottom part of the lower sleeve portion 231 is open, and the airflow sensor 24 may be inserted into the lower sleeve portion 231 through the open bottom part and in communication with the mounting cavity 2111. By sensing an airflow, the airflow sensor 24 may cause the battery 22 to supply power to a heating component 14 in the vaporizer 1. In this embodiment, the airflow sensor 24 is a microphone sensor, and the lower sleeve portion 231 and the insertion portion 211 are both in a shape of a cylinder. Both connection between the lower sleeve portion 231 made of silicone and the insertion portion 211 and connection between the upper sleeve portion 232 made of silicone and the battery 22 are sealing and reliable, so that a gluing process at these positions may be canceled, bringing low part costs and labor costs.
  • A bottom part of the upper sleeve portion 232 abuts against the insertion portion 211, and the lower end of the battery 22 may be closely embedded in the upper sleeve portion 232 for fixing. The outer side wall of the lower sleeve portion 231 may recess inward to form a wire groove 2311 that extends in a vertical direction, a wire hole 2321 corresponding to the wire groove 2311 is provided on the side wall of the upper sleeve portion 232, and two electrode wires of the airflow sensor 24 may be connected with the battery 22 through the wire groove 2311 and the wire hole 2321 sequentially.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the vaporizer 1 may include an upper shell 11, a heating base 15 arranged at the bottom part of the upper shell 11, a heating component 14 mounted on the heating base 15, and a vaporization base 13 mounted on the heating base 15 and arranged above the heating component 14. The lower end of the upper shell 11 is embedded in the lower shell 21, and the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 21 are assembled to form a shell of the electronic vaporization device. In the upper shell 11, a liquid storage cavity 110 configured to store a liquid vaporizable substrate and an air outlet channel 1110 configured to export vapor are formed. The heating component 14 is arranged in the upper shell 11 and is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110 in a liquid guiding manner. A vaporization cavity 150 that is in communication with the air outlet channel 1110 is formed between the heating base 15 and the vaporization base 13, and the heating component 14 is at least partially arranged in the vaporization cavity 150.
  • An air outlet tube 111 may be arranged in the longitudinal direction in the upper shell 11. The inner wall surface of the upper shell 11 and the outer wall surface of the air outlet tube 111 define the annular liquid storage cavity 110, and the inner wall surface of the air outlet tube 111 defines the air outlet channel 1110. In this embodiment, the air outlet tube 111 may be integrally formed by downward extension of the top wall of the upper shell 11. The air outlet channel 1110 may be a conical chimney structure with the pore sizes gradually decreasing from the bottom to the top. By adopting this kind of chimney structure with a large bottom and a small top, when floating up in a chimney passage, the vapor may speed up due to the decreasing cross-sectional areas of the chimney passage. This is equivalent to an additional inhalation force in the air outlet channel 1110, so that the vapor can be inhaled out more easily.

The shape and the size of the edge dismounting groove 123 match the shape and the size of an exit of the air outlet channel 1110. For example, the size of the edge dismounting groove 123 may be the same as or slightly larger than the size of the exit of the air outlet channel 1110. The mouthpiece sleeve 12 may not only block and close the vaporizer, but also separate the sealing plug 122 by tearing an edge dismounting groove structure. After the sealing plug 122 is disassembled, the outer sleeve 121 may be used as a protective sleeve when a plurality of people share and use the product (that is, other people may use the electronic vaporization device through the outer sleeve 121).
