With reference to FIG. 1, the electronic atomization apparatus includes the atomizer 1, aerosol-generating matrices are stored in the atomizer 1, and the atomizer 1 is configured to atomize the aerosol-generating matrices into aerosols respectively.

First embodiment

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 5, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along an A-A direction of FIG. 2. The atomizer 1 includes a housing 11, atomization assemblies 12 and a mouthpiece 13. The atomization assemblies 12 are configured to generate aerosols respectively, and are provided at interiors with atomization chambers 121 through which the aerosols flow respectively. The mouthpiece 13 is connected to the housing 11, and is formed at interior with an air passage 131 configured to be communicated with the atomization chambers 121, to export the aerosols. With reference to an aerosol generation path (i.e., a direction pointed by arrows) shown in FIG. 3, the air passage 131 communicates an outside atmosphere with the atomization chamber 121, and gas flows from bottom to top along the air passage 131, driving the aerosol in the atomization chamber 121 to flow from bottom to top to the outside. With reference to FIG. 4, the housing 11 is provided with at least two mounting chambers 111 spaced apart from each other, and each of the atomization assemblies 12 is disposed in a respective one of the mounting chambers 111 in one-to-one correspondence. That is, a number of the mounting chambers 111 is equal to or greater than two. If two, three, four or other numbers of mounting chambers 111 are provided, two, three, four or other numbers of atomization assemblies 12 may be provided correspondingly.
With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the mouthpiece 13 is movably connected to the housing 11. The mouthpiece 13 may be non-detachably and movably connected to the housing 11. For example, the mouthpiece 13 may move relative to the housing 11 through a guiding structure 14, to be switched to connect with each of the atomization assemblies 12, and obtains corresponding aerosols when the air passage 131 is communicated with a corresponding one of the atomization chambers 121. The mouthpiece 13 can slide relative to the housing 11 through the guiding structure 14, or can rotate or pivot relative to the housing 11. The application does not limit a specific arrangement structure of the guiding structure 14, as long as the mouthpiece 13 may move relative to the housing 11 through the guiding structure 14. The mouthpiece 13 may also be detachably and movably connected to the housing 11. For example, the mouthpiece 13 may be connected to the housing 11 through multiple magnetic members, and a relative position of the mouthpiece 13 on the housing 11 may be changed by turning the mouthpiece 13 over or connecting the mouthpiece 13 with magnetic members at different positions, so that the mouthpiece 13 may be switched to connect with each of the atomization assemblies 12.
In an implementation where the mouthpiece 13 is non-detachably and movably connected to the housing 11, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the mouthpiece 13 may be switched through the guiding structure 14 to connect with any one of the atomization assemblies 12, or may be switched to connect with more than one of the atomization assemblies 12. For example, three atomization assemblies 12 are disposed in the atomizer 1, and the mouthpiece 13 may be switched through the guiding structure 14 to connect with one or two of the three atomization assemblies 12. In order to facilitate understanding, explanation is made with an example of switching the mouthpiece 13 to connect with any one of the atomization assemblies 12, a flavor and/or concentration of the aerosol exported from each of the atomization assemblies 12 may be the same or different. For example, the amounts of mists output from the respective atomization assemblies 12 are the same, but the flavors of the aerosols exported from the respective atomization assemblies 12 are different from each other, then the user may drive the mouthpiece 13 according to actual demands, so that the mouthpiece 13 is connected to the atomization assembly 12 having any flavor of aerosol as demanded, therefore the user may obtain a desired flavor of aerosol when the mouthpiece 13 is communicated with a corresponding atomization chamber 121. Of course, the flavors of the aerosol-generating matrices stored in the respective atomization assemblies 12 may be the same, but the amounts of mists output from the respective atomization assemblies 12 are different, then the user may obtain any concentration of aerosol according to actual demands. According to the application, an atomization effect of the atomizer 1 is increased by providing multiple atomization assemblies 12 and moving the mouthpiece 13 relative to the housing 11 through the guiding structure 14, and the mouthpiece 13 may be connected with a corresponding atomization assembly 12 as demanded, so that the user may obtain a corresponding aerosol to meet individual demands of the user.
It should be noted that the flavor and/or concentration of the aerosol exported from each of the atomization assemblies 12 depends on parameters of the aerosol-generating matrix stored in the atomization assembly 12. The parameters of the aerosol-generating matrix include one or more of a boiling point, a type, and a component. For example, the aerosol-generating matrices in the respective atomization assemblies 12 may be different only in the boiling point or type or flavor, or the aerosol-generating matrices in the respective atomization assemblies 12 may be different in all of the boiling point, type and component.
In some possible implementations, with reference to FIG. 3, after each of the atomization assemblies 12 is mounted in a respective one of the mounting chambers 111 in one-to-one correspondence, the atomization chambers 121 for the atomization assemblies 12 are spaced apart from each other. That is, the mouthpiece 13 and/or the housing 11 are not provided with channels or air passages or other structures to be communicated with some or all of atomization chambers 121 of the atomization assemblies 12, and airflow channels in the atomization assemblies 12 are isolated from each other. It may be understood that in this implementation, the mouthpiece 13 is switched through the guiding structure 14 to connect with any one of the atomization assemblies 12, to export the aerosol in any one of the atomization chambers 121. With such arrangement, each of the atomization assemblies 12 has a respective sealed air passage, and when the user sucks any aerosol through the mouthpiece 13, for example, when the user sucks an aerosol in a first atomization assembly 12a, only an atomization chamber in the first atomization assembly 12a from the atomization assemblies 12 is communicated with the mouthpiece 13 to form a flowing airflow, so that an inhalation signal sensing element (such as an airflow sensor 32) accurately starts the first atomization assembly 12a. Air passages in the respective atomization assemblies 12 are isolated from each other, so that a single atomization assembly 12 may be accurately started, to reduce a possibility of starting dry burning due to presence of a flowing airflow in remaining atomization assemblies 12 (e.g., a second atomization assembly 12b); and to reduce a possibility of mixing aerosols with other flavors and/or concentrations in when the user sucks aerosol of any flavor and/or concentration, which facilitates improving the user's experience.
An atomizer 1 is provided in an embodiment of the application, the atomizer 1 includes a housing 11, atomization assemblies 12 and a mouthpiece 13. The housing 11 is provided at interior with at least two mounting chambers 111 spaced apart from each other. Each of the atomization assemblies 12 is disposed in a respective one of the mounting chambers 111 in one-to-one correspondence. The atomization assemblies 12 are configured to generate aerosols respectively, and are provided at interiors with atomization chambers 121 through which the aerosols flow respectively. The mouthpiece 13 is movably connected to the housing 11, and is formed at interior with an air passage 131 configured to be communicated with the atomization chambers 121, to export the aerosols. The mouthpiece 13 moves relative to the housing 11 through a guiding structure 14, to be switched to connect with each of the atomization assemblies 12, and obtains corresponding aerosols when the air passage 131 is communicated with a corresponding one of the atomization chambers 121. Such arrangement allows the user to drive the mouthpiece 13 to move according to actual demands, and the user obtains the aerosol as demanded when the air passage 131 in the mouthpiece 13 is communicated with the atomization chamber 121 having a desired aerosol, which increases the atomization effect of the atomizer 1. For example, the atomizer 1 may switch between the atomization assemblies 12, to export aerosols with different flavors and/or concentrations, to meet individual demands of the user.
In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the mouthpiece 13 is movable relative to the housing 11, and the guiding structure may include a rotating shaft 141, an end (an upper end) of the rotating shaft 141 is connected to the housing 11, and another end (a lower end) of the rotating shaft 141 is connected to the mouthpiece 13. The mouthpiece 13 is rotatably connected to each of the atomization assemblies 12 as demanded. Specifically, an end (the upper end) of the rotating shaft 141 may be fixedly connected to the housing 11, and another end (the lower end) of the rotating shaft 141 may be rotatably connected to the mouthpiece 13, and in this implementation, the mouthpiece 13 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 141. Alternatively, an end (the upper end) of the rotating shaft 141 may be rotatably connected to the housing 11, and another end (the lower end) of the rotating shaft 141 may be fixedly connected to the mouthpiece 13, and in this implementation, the rotating shaft 141 rotates relative to the housing 11 along with the mouthpiece 13. The mouthpiece 13 may be switched through the rotating shaft 141 to connect with each of the atomization assemblies 12. Such structure is relatively simple and easy to be implemented, and difficulty of assembling and processing the guiding structure is reduced.
In some possible implementations, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the rotating shaft 141 may be limited in the mouthpiece 13 and detachably connected to the housing 11. For example, an end (the upper end) of the rotating shaft 141 is snapped into the mouthpiece 13, and another end (the lower end) of the rotating shaft 141 is plugged into the housing 11. Of course, the rotating shaft 141 may be limited in the housing 11 and detachably connected to the mouthpiece 13. As in some embodiments shown in schematic diagrams of the application, an end (the upper end) of the rotating shaft 141 is plugged into the mouthpiece 13, and another end (the lower end) of the rotating shaft 141 is snapped into the housing 11, so that it is difficult for the rotating shaft 141 to separate from the housing 11. In this implementation, the rotating shaft 141 may be limited at the top of the housing 11 as shown in schematic diagrams of the application. Of course, in some other possible implementations, the housing 11 may also be provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft 141 to pass through, so that the rotating shaft 141 is limited at the bottom of the housing 11. It should be noted that the application does not limit a specific arrangement structure and specific arrangement position of the rotating shaft 141 on the housing 11, as long as the mouthpiece 13 may rotate relative to the housing 11 through the rotating shaft 141.
In order to facilitate understanding, an implementation principle of the atomizer 1 according to the first embodiment producing different atomization effects will be explained below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5.
In the first embodiment shown in the application, with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the housing 11 is provided with two mounting chambers 111, and correspondingly, two atomization assemblies 12 are provided. Each of the two atomization assemblies 12 is disposed in a respective one of the two mounting chambers 111 in one-to-one correspondence. The two atomization assemblies 12 are defined as a first atomization assembly 12a and a second atomization assembly 12b respectively. In an initial state, the mouthpiece 13 is connected to the first atomization assembly 12a, and the air passage 131 exports an aerosol in the first atomization assembly 12a as shown in FIG. 3. After the mouthpiece 13 is rotated by 180°, the mouthpiece 13 is connected to the second atomization assembly 12b, and the air passage 131 exports an aerosol in the second atomization assembly 12b. Demands from the user to rotate the mouthpiece 13 so that the mouthpiece 13 is switched from the first atomization assembly 12a to connect with the second atomization assembly 12b include, but are not limited to the following situations. First situation: a flavor of the aerosol exported from the first atomization assembly 12a is different a flavor of the aerosol exported from the second atomization assembly 12b, and the user wants to obtain aerosol of a different flavor. Second situation: a mist output amount of the first atomization assembly 12a is different from a mist output amount of the second atomization assembly 12b, and the user wants to obtain aerosol of a different concentration. Third situation: an aerosol-generating matrix in the first atomization assembly 12a has been consumed up, or the first atomization assembly 12a is damaged and the aerosol cannot be exported from the first atomization assembly 12a, and the user wants to continue exporting the aerosol from the second atomization assembly 12b.
In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, each of the atomization assemblies 12 further includes a liquid storage chamber 122 and an oil injection component 123. The liquid storage chamber 122 is configured to store an aerosol-generating matrix. Parameters of the aerosol-generating matrix stored in a liquid storage chamber 122 may be the same as or different from another liquid storage chamber 122. The oil injection component 123 is communicated with the liquid storage chamber 122, and is configured to inject the aerosol-generating matrix into the liquid storage chamber 122. The oil injection component 123 may be a sealing member which seals an opening of the liquid storage chamber 122, or may be a one-way valve disposed at the opening of the liquid storage chamber 122. The application does not limit a specific type and structure of the oil injection component 123, as long as the aerosol-generating matrix may be injected into the liquid storage chamber 122 through the oil injection component 123.
With reference to FIG. 5, when the mouthpiece 13 moves to a first position relative to the housing 11, at least one oil injection component 123 is exposed, so that the user may inject the aerosol-generating matrix into the liquid storage chamber 122 through the oil injection component 123. That is, by rotation of the rotating shaft 141, the mouthpiece 13 is not only possible to switch to connect with each of the atomization assemblies 12, but it is also possible to supplement the aerosol-generating matrix to at least one of the atomization assemblies 12 when the mouthpiece 13 is positioned at the first position. The atomizer 1 provided in the embodiment of the application increases the atomization effect to meet individual demands of the user, while facilitates the user to supplement the aerosol-generating matrix to the atomization assembly 12, and may be compatible with usage in various working conditions and scenarios.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the mouthpiece 13 is rotated from the first atomization assembly 12a or the second atomization assembly 12b to the first position by 90°. It may be understood that when the mouthpiece 13 is at the first position, both a first oil injection component 123a in the first atomization assembly 12a and a second oil injection component 123b in the second atomization assembly 12b are exposed, and the user may supplement the aerosol-generating matrix to the first atomization assembly 12a and/or the second atomization assembly 12b. It should be noted that the first position is not limited to a position arrived by rotating by 90° from the first atomization assembly 12a or the second atomization assembly 12b as shown in FIG. 5, and the mouthpiece 13 may be rotated by any angle from the first atomization assembly 12a or the second atomization assembly 12b, that is, the first position may be any position for exposing at least one oil injection component 123.
In some possible implementations, with reference to FIG. 6, the mouthpiece 13 may be provided thereon with connection members 15, and the mouthpiece 13 may be detachably connected to the housing 11 via the connection members 15. After the mouthpiece 13 is separated from the housing 11, each oil injection component 123 is exposed, and the user may supplement the aerosol-generating matrix to a corresponding one of the atomization assemblies 12 through each oil injection component 123. It should be noted that the application does not limit a specific structure of the connection member 15. For example, the connection member 15 may be a snap-fit member such as a clamping tab, an elastic piece, etc. The connection member 15 may also be a magnetic member. In the first embodiment shown in schematic diagrams of the application, each of the mouthpiece 13 and the housing 11 is provided thereon with multiple magnetic members, and poles of the magnetic members connected to the mouthpiece 13 are different from poles of the magnetic members connected to the housing 11. Such structure is simple, difficulty of assembling the housing 11 and the mouthpiece 13 is reduced, and it facilitates the user to disassemble and assemble the mouthpiece 13.

Second embodiment

Different from the first embodiment, with reference to FIG. 7, the guiding structure in the atomizer 1 provided in the second embodiment may include a sliding groove 142. The sliding groove 142 is disposed on any one of the mouthpiece 13 and the housing 11, another one of the mouthpiece 13 and the housing 11 is disposed in the sliding groove 142. For example, the sliding groove 142 may be disposed on the mouthpiece 13, and the housing 11 may be disposed in the sliding groove 142. Alternatively, as shown in the schematic diagram of the application, the sliding groove 142 may be disposed on the housing 11, and the mouthpiece 13 may be disposed in the sliding groove 142. The mouthpiece 13 slides relative to the housing 11, to be switched to connect with each of the atomization assemblies 12. The sliding groove 142 limits a movement trajectory of the mouthpiece 13, so that the mouthpiece 13 makes a translational movement relative to the housing 11, which makes full use of space on the housing 11, and does not occupy additional space, so that appearance of the atomizer 1 is more concise.

Third embodiment

Different from the first embodiment and the second embodiment, with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the atomization assemblies 12 further include a connection shell 16. The connection shell 16 is disposed between the mouthpiece 13 and the housing 11 and is connected to the housing 11, the mouthpiece 13 moves relative to the connection shell 16 by the guiding structure. The guiding structure may be the rotating shaft 141 in the first embodiment, so that the mouthpiece 13 rotates relative to the connection shell 16 through the rotating shaft 141. The guiding structure may also be the sliding groove 142 in the second embodiment, so that the mouthpiece 13 slides relative to the connection shell 16 through the sliding groove 142. In schematic diagrams shown in the application, FIG. 9 is a top view of FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along a B-B direction of FIG. 9. With reference to FIG. 10, the guiding structure in the third embodiment includes the sliding groove 142.
With reference to FIG. 10, the connection shell 16 is provided at interior with multiple first sub-channels 161 disposed at intervals, a number of the first sub-channels 161 is the same as a number of the atomization chambers 121, and each of the first sub-channels 161 is communicated with a respective one of the atomization chambers 121 in one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, when the air passage 131 is communicated with any one of the first sub-channels 161 as demanded, each of other atomization chambers 121 is spaced apart from the air passage 131 without exporting the aerosol, and the flavor and/or concentration of the aerosol obtained by the user may not be affected by aerosols in other atomization assemblies 12, which facilitates improving the user's usage experience. In the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 10, the first sub-channels 161 are a first sub-channel 161a and a first sub-channel 161b respectively, the first sub-channel 161a is communicated with the first atomization chamber 121a, the first sub-channel 161b is communicated with the second atomization chamber 121b, the mouthpiece 13 is at a position where the air passage 131 is communicated with the first sub-channel 161a, the first sub-channel 161b is spaced apart from the first sub-channel 161a and thus is spaced apart from the air passage 131, and the air passage 131 exports only the aerosol in the first atomization chamber 121a.
In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 11, the connection shell 16 is further provided at interior with a second sub-channel 162 and a mixing channel 163, and at least two neighboring first sub-channels 161 are communicated via the second sub-channel 162. For example, two neighboring first sub-channels 161 may be communicated via the second sub-channel 162, or three or four neighboring first sub-channels 161 may be communicated via the second sub-channel 162. The mixing channel 163 is communicated with the second sub-channel 162. When the mouthpiece 13 slides to a second position relative to the connection shell 16, the air passage 131 is communicated with the mixing channel 163, so that the user may obtain a mixed aerosol. For example, the user may obtain an aerosol mixed with multiple flavors and/or concentrations through the mixing channel 163, which further increases the atomization effect of the atomizer 1 to be compatible with various choices of the user.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the second sub-channel 162 is communicated with two first sub-channels 161a and 161b, and the mixing channel 163 is located between the two first sub-channels 161a and 161b and is communicated with the second sub-channel 162. At this time, the mouthpiece 13 is at the first position, the two first sub-channels 161a and 161b are both communicated with the outside atmosphere through the air passage 131 to generate an airflow, and aerosols in the first atomization chamber 121a and the second atomization chamber 121b are mixed in the second sub-channel 162 and are finally exported along with the airflow through the mixing channel 163.
In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 10, the connection shell 16 is provided thereon with connection members 15, and the connection shell 16 is detachably connected to the housing 11 via the connection members 15. In the schematic diagrams shown in the third embodiment, the connection members 15 are magnetic members, and the connection shell 16 and the housing 11 are modularly assembled by the magnetic members, thereby reducing difficulty of disassembling and assembling the connection shell 16.
In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 10, when the connection shell 16 is detached and separated from the housing 11, each oil injection component 123 is exposed, and the user may supplement the aerosol-generating matrix to a corresponding atomization assembly 12 through each oil injection component 123.
It should be noted that the above descriptions of the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the third embodiment tend to emphasize differences among the embodiments, and same or similar items among the embodiments may refer to each other, and will not be elaborated here for the sake of brevity.

Fourth embodiment

The housing 11 is provided thereon with a button 17. It is unnecessary for the user to move the mouthpiece 13, and the user drives the button 17 to make any one or more than one of partition air passages (e.g., partition air passages 132-1 and 132-2) communicated with the mixing air passage 131 as demanded, so that the user may obtain the desired aerosol, and operation difficulty of the user switching to suck the desired aerosol is reduced. FIG. 13 is a top view of FIG. 12, and FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along a C-C direction of FIG. 13.

The button 17 may also be an electrical control button 17. For example, each of the atomization assemblies 12 is provided at interior with a start sensor, and driving of the button 17 may trigger a corresponding start sensor, so that the atomization assembly 12 connected to the start sensor is started to export the desired aerosol.
An embodiment of the application further provides an electronic atomization apparatus, the electronic atomization apparatus includes the atomizer 1 in any one of the above embodiments. With reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the electronic atomization apparatus further includes a main body 2, a heating assembly 3, and a power supply 4.

The heating body is configured to heat the atomization core in a respective one of the atomization assemblies 12, so that the aerosol-generating matrix in the atomization assembly 12 is atomized into the aerosol. The airflow sensor 32 is a micro electro-acoustic device, a main function thereof is to receive the user's inhalation signal, thereby controlling start and stop of the atomization assemblies 12. When the air passage 131 is communicated with a desired one or more of the atomization chambers 121, an air pressure difference is generated at two sides of the airflow sensor 32 in the heating assembly 3 connected to a corresponding atomization assembly 12, a diaphragm in the airflow sensor 32 vibrates, a distance between the diaphragm and an electrode changes, and the airflow sensor 32 generates an electrical signal to start a corresponding heating body.
