DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further elaborated below in combination with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments are only used to interpret the present application instead of limiting the present application.
It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly or indirectly on another element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly or indirectly connected to another element.
It should be noted that, the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right" ,"vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" for indicating orientation or positional relationship should be understood based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. These directional terms are intended only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be interpreted as a restriction on the present application.
In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive purposes, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of indicated technical features. Thus, the feature defined by "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly means that there is at least one said feature. In the description of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited.
As described in the background section, a single atomizer cannot meet the inhalation needs of users, and it is necessary to provide an atomizing device capable of carrying multiple atomizers.
In addition, in order to ensure a good connection between the electrode 220 and the atomizer 2, the electrode 220 is generally designed to extend slightly beyond a contact plane, i.e. the surface of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the atomizer holder 100. However, during the relative rotation of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 to switch the electric connection between the power supply assembly 3 and the atomizer 2, the electrode 220 continuously rubs against the end face of the atomizer holder 100, resulting in a serious rotational friction and poor user experience. The friction will also cause the atomizing device to wear, and the scraping of the electrode 220 will easily wear off the gold plating layer thereon, resulting in an increase in contact resistance, affecting the heating and atomizing performance, and also affecting the service life of the elastic pin.
In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an atomizing device and an aerosol generating device.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, an atomizing device according to an embodiment of the present application will now be described.
The atomizing device comprises an atomizer holder 100 for receiving a plurality of atomizer 2 and an electrode assembly 200. The electrode assembly 200 comprises an electrode holder 210 and at least one electrode 220 disposed on the electrode holder 210. The electrode 220 is configured to electrically connecting the atomizers 2 with the power supply assembly 3. The atomizer holder 100 is movably connected to the electrode holder 210, and the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 are movable or rotatable relative to each other to switch the relative positions of the electrode 220 and the atomizers 2. The atomizer holder 100 can be moved from a first orientation to a second orientation and then to a third orientation relative to the electrode 220. When the atomizer holder 100 is in the first orientation relative to the electrode 220, a respective one of the atomizers 2 (for example, a first atomizer) is electrically connected to the electrode 220. When the atomizer holder 100 is in the second orientation relative to the electrode 220, the atomizer holder 100 avoids the electrode 220. When the atomizer holder 100 is in the third orientation relative to the electrode 220, another one of the atomizers 2 is electrically connected to the electrode 220.
The relative motion refers to the relative motion between the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 in the lateral direction. The expression "atomizer holder 100 avoids the electrode 220" refers to that the atomizer holder 100 avoids the electrode 220 in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction refers to the distribution direction of atomizer holder 100 and electrode holder 210, that is, the height direction and axial direction of the whole atomizing device, and the lateral direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
Specifically, each atomizer 2 comprises an electric connecting post 23. When the electrode 220 abuts against one of the atomizers 2 in the axial direction of the atomizing device, that is, when the electric connecting post 23 of this atomizer abuts against the electrode 220, an electrically connection is formed between the electrode 220 and this atomizer 2, and the power supply assembly 3 supplies power to this atomizer 2 through the electrode 220. After the electrode holder 210 and the atomizer holder 100 perform a preset relative movement, this atomizer 2 moves away from the electrode 220, and another atomizer 2 adjacent to this atomizer 2 moves above the electrode 220 to abut against the electrode 220 in the axial direction of the atomizing device, therefore, power is supplied to the adjacent atomizer 2 through the electrode 220. In use, the atomizer 2 electrically connected to the electrode 220 is selected by driving the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 to move relative to each other.
The avoidance of the atomizer holder 100 from the electrode 220 may be implemented in following ways: the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 move relative to each other while sliding axially relative to each other in an axial direction of the atomizing device to allow the atomizer holder 100 to avoid the electrode 220, or an avoidance groove may be formed on the atomizer holder 100 at a position corresponding to the movement trajectory of the electrode 220, to avoid the electrode 220.
When the atomizer holder 100 moves from the first orientation to the third orientation relative to the electrode 220, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 just move a preset travel, that is, the electrical connection state of atomizers 2 is switched once, specifically, the electrical connection of the electrode 220 to one atomizer 2 is switched to the electrical connection of the electrode 220 to the next atomizer 2. Further, when the atomizer holder 100 is in the second orientation relative to the electrode 220, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 are in a state of relative movement with respect to each other, and the electrode 220 is not electrically connected to the atomizer 2.
The atomizing device in the embodiment of the present application is provided with an atomizer holder 100 capable of receiving a plurality of atomizers 2. The flavors of these atomizers 2 may or may not be the same. In this way, the atomizing device can carry a plurality of atomizers 2 to meet the inhalation needs of the user, and at the same time, it can increase the selectivity of the user on flavor. In addition, the electrode holder 210 is provided with the electrode 220, and the relative position of the electrode 220 and the atomizers 2 can be switched by the relative movement of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210. In this way, only part of the atomizers 2 is in operation at a time, thereby making the switching operation of the atomizers 2 simple. In addition, when the atomizer holder 100 is in the first orientation and the third orientation with respect to the electrode 220, the electrode 220 can be electrically connected to a respective one of the atomizers 2, to ensure a stable electrical between the electrode 220 and the and atomizer. When the atomizer holder is in the second orientation with respect to the electrode 220, the atomizer holder 100 avoids the electrode 220. During the relative rotation of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210, the electrode 220 does not interfere with the atomizer holder 100, thereby reducing wear of the electrode 220.
In the present application, the electrode holder 210 may be provided with one set of electrodes 220 or multiple sets of electrodes 220. In the case where electrode holder 210 is provided with a set of electrodes 220, each time after the electrode holder 210 or atomizer holder 100 performs a preset movement, an electrical connection can be formed between the set of electrodes 220 and one of the atomizers 2, to activate this atomizer 2. In the case where the electrode holder 210 is provided with a plurality of sets of electrodes 220, each time after the electrode holder 210 or atomizer holder 100 performs a preset movement, one set of electrodes 220 can be electrically connected to one of the atomizers 2, and another set of electrodes 220 can be electrically connected to another one of the atomizers 2. In other words, in the same working state, only one atomizer 2 may be activated, or two atomizers 2 may be activated at the same time, thereby achieving a large atomization effect.
In the present application, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 move (translationally or rotationally) relative to each other while sliding axially relative to each other in an axial direction of the atomizing device to allow the atomizer holder 100 to avoid the electrode 220, or an avoidance groove may be formed on the atomizer holder 100 at a position corresponding to the movement trajectory of the electrode 220, to avoid the electrode 220. Examples of different avoidance manners are described below.

Embodiment 1

In this embodiment, the atomizer holder 100 is rotatably connected to the electrode holder 210. By driving the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 to rotate relative to each other, the relative positions of the electrode 220 and the atomizer 2 can be switched, thereby realizing the switching of the electrical connection between the electrode and the atomizer 2.
In this embodiment, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 rotate while sliding relative to each other in the axial direction of the atomizing device so that the atomizer holder 100 may avoid the electrode 220. In this way, the user only needs to perform a rotation operation to cause the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 to slide away from each other during the rotation so that the atomizer holder 100 may avoid the electrode 220. Therefore, the friction between the electrode 220 and the atomizer holder 100 can be reduced or even avoided, the wear of the gold plating layer of the counter electrode 220 can be reduced, the heating atomization performance of the atomizer 2 can be improved, and the service life of the electrode 220 can also be improved. In addition, there is no need to pull out the atomizer holder 100 with one hand, and then rotate the atomizer holder 100 with the other hand, which improves the convenience of using the aerosol generating device and improves the user experience.
Specifically, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the atomizer holder 100 has a first cooperating face 150, and the electrode holder 210 has a second cooperating face 218 that slidably cooperates with the first cooperating face 150. The first cooperating face 150 and the second cooperating face 218 are disposed opposite to each other one in the axial direction of the atomizing device. The second cooperating face 218 has a first position 2181, a second position 2182, and a third position 2183. When the first cooperating face 150 is located at the first position 2181, the atomizer holder 100 is in the first orientation with respect to the electrode 220, when the first cooperating face 150 is located at the second position 2182, the atomizer holder 100 is in the second orientation with respect to the electrode 220, and when the first cooperating face 150 is located at the third position 2183, the atomizer holder 100 is in the third orientation with respect to the electrode 220.
The first position 2181, the second position 2182, and the third position 2183 are positions at which the second cooperating face 218 corresponds to the rotation of the atomizer holder 100 from the first orientation to the third orientation with respect to the electrode 220. The first position 2181, the second position 2182, and the third position 2183 are sequentially distributed in the circumferential direction of the atomizing device. During the rotation of the atomizer holder 100 relative to the electrode holder 210 by a preset angle, the first cooperating face 150 slides from the first position 2181 of the second cooperating face 218 to the second position 2182, and then slides from the second position 2182 to the third position 2183. By changing the cooperating position of the first cooperating face 150 and the second cooperating face 218, the electrode holder 210 and the atomizer holder 100 move towards or away from each other in the axial direction of the atomizing device, thereby avoiding the electrode 220. Of course, in other embodiments, the second cooperating face 218 may be formed on the atomizer holder 100, and the first cooperating face 150 may be formed on the electrode holder 210.
In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the second cooperating face 218 has a plurality of trough faces 2184 arranged in the circumferential direction at intervals, and a peak face 2185 is connected between each two adjacent trough faces 2184. When the first cooperating face 150 cooperates with the trough face 2184, the atomizer holder 100 is in the first or third orientation with respect to the electrode 220. When the first cooperating face 150 cooperates with the peak face 2185, the atomizer holder 100 is in the second orientation with respect to the electrode 220.
It should be noted that, During the rotation of the atomizer holder 100 from the first orientation through the second orientation to the third orientation relative to the electrode 220, the first cooperating face 150 slides from one trough face 2184 of the second cooperating face 218 to a peak face 2185 and then to a next trough face 2184. Said one trough face 2184 is the first position 2181 of the second cooperating face 218, the next trough face 2184 is the third position 2183 of the second cooperating face 218, and said one peak face 2185 is the second position 2182 of the second cooperating face 218. That is, one trough face 2184, one peak face 2185 and one trough face 2184 connected in sequence exactly correspond to the first position 2181, the second position 2182, and the third position 2183.
In this embodiment, trough faces 2184 and peak faces 2185 are provided. When the first cooperating face 150 slides to the trough face 2184, the atomizer holder 100 abuts against the electrode holder 210 in the axial direction of the atomizing device so that the atomizer 2 abuts against the electrode 220 to form an electrical connection between the atomizer and the electrode. When the first cooperating face 150 slides to the peak face 2185, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 slide relative to each other in the axial direction of the atomizing device so that the atomizer holder 100 avoids the electrode 220.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the peak face 2185 is trapezoidal. Specifically, the peak face 2185 comprises an uphill section 2186, a downhill section 2187, and a top surface 2188. The top surface 2188 is the portion of peak face 2185 that attains the maximum distance from the trough face 2184. The uphill section 2186 is connected between one trough face 2184 and the top surface 2188, and a downhill section 2187 is connected between the top surface 2188 and the next trough face 2184. The top surface 2188 is planar. It can be understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 6, the peak face 2185 may also be triangular, or the peak face 2185 may also be curved or wavy, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the first cooperating face 150 may be disposed on the end face of the atomizer holder 100 facing the electrode holder 210, the second cooperating face 218 may be disposed on the end face of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the atomizer holder 100. Specifically, a groove 110 is formed on the end face of the atomizer holder 100 facing the electrode holder 210, and the face of the groove 110 facing towards the electrode holder 210 is the first cooperating face 150. The end face of the electrode holder 210 facing the atomizer holder 100 is provided with a protrusion 213, the face of the protrusion 213 facing towards the atomizer holder 100 is the peak face 2185, the end face of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the atomizer holder 100 is the trough face 2184, and two side faces of the protrusion 213 in the circumferential direction are an uphill section 2186 and a downhill section 2187 respectively. When the protrusion 213 slides into the groove 110, the end face of the atomizer holder 100 abuts against the trough face 2184, and the atomizer 2 is electrically connected to the electrode 220. When the protrusion 213 slides out of the groove 110 and abuts against the top surface 2188, the atomizer holder 100 and the atomizers 2 are raised by a predetermined height, and the atomizer holder 100 avoids the electrode 220.
In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of guide grooves 110 arranged in the circumferential direction at intervals are formed on the side of the atomizer holder 100 facing towards the electrode holder 210, and a plurality of protrusions 213 arranged in the circumferential direction at intervals are formed on the side of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the atomizer holder 100. At the beginning of the rotation of the atomizer holder 100, the protrusion 213 slides out of one of the grooves 110, and is pressed against the end face of the atomizer holder 100. At the end of the rotation of the atomizer holder 100, the protrusion 213 is engaged into another groove 110. With the above design, the friction against the electrode 220 can be reduced. In addition, in the process of rotating the atomizer holder by the user, the protrusion 213 is sequentially engaged into the grooves 110, which will produce a resistance feedback, so as to facilitate the user to know the rotation angle of the atomizer holder 100, and increase the playability.
In one embodiment, the number of grooves 110 is the same as the number of atomizers 2, and the number of protrusions 213 is the same as the number of atomizers 2. In this way, the process of sliding the protrusion 213 out of one groove 110 and into another groove 110 just corresponds to the rotation of the atomizer holder 100 by the preset angle, so as to realize the replacement of one atomizer 2, and facilitate the user's rotation control. It is understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of protrusions 213 may also be different from the number of atomizers 2. For example, the number of protrusions 213 is an integer multiple of the number of atomizers 2, so that the replacement of one atomizer 2 can be achieved after the protrusion 213 slides through the integer multiple of the grooves 110.
In the above embodiment, the second cooperating face 218 may be disposed on the periphery of the electrode holder 210, and the second cooperating face 218 may also be disposed on the electrode holder 210 around a position of the central axis.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the atomizing device further comprises a primary housing 400. The electrode holder 210 is rotatably disposed in a primary housing 400. The atomizer holder 100 is supported above the electrode holder 210. The atomizer holder 100 is rotatably connected to the electrode holder 210, and the state of electrical connection between the electrode 220 and the atomizer holder 100 may be switched by rotating the electrode holder 210.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, a rotating shaft 900 extending upwardly is provided at the center of the electrode holder 210, the atomizer holder 100 is arranged around the rotating shaft 900, and the rotatable connection between the electrode holder 210 and the atomizer holder 100 is formed by the rotating shaft 900.
In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, each groove 110 is formed at a center position on the side of the atomizer holder 100 facing towards the electrode holder 210, and each protrusion 213 is formed at a center position on the side of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the atomizer holder 100.
In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, the primary housing 400 is rotatably connected to the electrode holder 210. Two conductive posts 700, respectively electrically connected to the power supply assembly 3, are installed on the primary housing 400. Two conductive rings 214, respectively electrically connected to two electrodes 220, are formed on the electrode holder 210, and two conductive posts 700 abut against the two conductive rings 214 respectively. In this embodiment, the two conductive rings 214 are electrically connected to the two electrodes 220 respectively. During the rotation of the electrode holder 210, the two conductive posts 700 on the primary housing 400 are slidably placed on the two conductive rings 214 respectively. In this way, the two conductive post 700 are always remain electrically connected to the two electrodes 220, thereby ensuring a stable electrical connection, and avoiding wire winding and unstable electrical connection due to use of wire for connecting the conductive post 700.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 7, the two conductive rings 214 are formed on the side of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the primary housing 400.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 7, each of the two conductive rings 214 has an extension 215 extending toward the electrode 220. The outer peripheral wall of the electrode 220 is in contact with the extension 215, to form the electrical connection between the conductive ring 214 and the electrode 220.
Optionally, a conductive material is laid on the electrode holder 210 to form the conductive rings 214.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the power supply assembly 3 and a circuit board 600 are also mounted in the primary housing 400. The power supply assembly 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 600, and the two conductive posts 700 are connected to the circuit board 600 by wires, to supply the atomizer 2 with power by the power supply assembly 3.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, at least one first air inlet 216 is formed on the electrode holder 210. By driving the atomizer holder 100 to move or rotate relative to the electrode holder 210, the relative position of the first air inlet 216 and the atomizer 2 can be switched. Specifically, the atomizer 2 has a second air inlet 21. When the atomizer 2 is aligned with the first air inlet 216 in the axial direction of atomizing device, the second air inlet 21 is in communication with the first air inlet 216 in the axial direction of atomizing device. When the atomizer 2 is misaligned with the first air inlet 216 in the axial direction of the atomizing device, the second air inlet 21 is not in communication with the first air inlet 216.
The number of first air inlets 216 may be greater than or equal to one, but the number of first air inlets 216 is less than the number of atomizers 2. If the number of the first air inlet 216 is one, the first air inlet 216 is in communication with the second air inlet 21 of one of the atomizers 2 in the same working state, to connect this atomizer 2 with external air. When the number of the first air inlets 216 is more than one, the first air inlets 216 may be in communication with the second air inlets 21 of some of the atomizers 2 in the same working state, to connect these atomizers 2 with the external air, and these atomizers 2 is in the working state.
In other embodiments of the present application, the first air inlet 216 may also be formed on the primary housing 400, or formed between the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the atomizing device further comprises a mouthpiece 300, which is in a synchronous rotational connection with the atomizer holder 100. The rotation of mouthpiece 300 may drive the electrode holder 210 to rotate relative to the atomizer holder 100, to synchronously switch the electrical connection, air intake, and discharge states of the respective atomizer 2.
Specifically, the electrode holder 210 and the mouthpiece 300 are connected to each other by a rotating shaft 900.
Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 900 is integrally connected with the electrode holder 210, and the other end of the rotating shaft 900 is inserted into the mouthpiece 300 with an interference fit. It is understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft 900 and the electrode holder 210 may also be provided separately, and the rotating shaft and the electrode holder are fixed together by screw locking, welding, interference fit, or bonding.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the primary housing 400 is mounted around the electrode holder 210 and the atomizer holder 100, and the primary housing 400 is made in one piece. Since the primary housing 400 is made in one piece, the primary housing 400 of the atomizing device is complete along the axial direction, which ensures that the product is more beautiful without dividing lines in appearance. Further, since the primary housing 400 is made in one piece and the mouthpiece 300 is located at the top of the entire atomizing device, the state switching of each atomizer 2 can be realized by rotating the mouthpiece 300 at the top of the atomizing device.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the mouthpiece 300 has a first outlet 310. The atomizing device also comprises a mouthpiece seal (not shown). The mouthpiece seal is attached to the inner side of the mouthpiece 300, and sandwiched between the mouthpiece 300 and the atomizer holder 100.

Embodiment 2

The technical features of the atomizing device in this embodiment are basically the same as those of the atomizing device in the first embodiment, and the differences are as follows: referring to FIGS. 8 to 11, the atomizer holder comprises a sliding block protruding from an inner wall of the atomizer holder, an outer wall of the electrode holder is provided with a guide groove, and the sliding block is slidably disposed in the guide groove; the first cooperating face is a face of the sliding block supported on an inner wall of the guide groove in an axial direction of the atomizing device, the second cooperating face is a face of the inner wall of the guide groove for supporting the sliding block.
Specifically, the specific positions of the first cooperating face 150 and the second cooperating face 218 are shown in FIG. 9.
At the beginning of the rotation of the atomizer holder 100, the sliding block 120 is located at trough face 2184, and the electrode 220 is in contact with the electrical connecting post 23 of one of the atomizers 2 to form an electrical connection. Then, during rotation, the sliding block 120 moves from the trough face 2184 towards the top surface 2188, the electrode 220 is separated from the electric connecting post 23, and a gap is gradually formed between the electrode holder 210 and atomizer holder 100 in the axial direction of the electrode holder 210 to avoid wear of the electrode 220. When the sliding block 120 slides to the adjacent top surface 2188, the sliding block 120 rises a predetermined distance in the axial direction of the electrode holder 210, thereby driving the atomizer holder 100 to rise a predetermined distance in a direction away from the electrode holder 210. In this way, friction between the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode 220 can be reduced or avoided, interference between the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 due to plane friction can be avoided, and smooth relative rotation of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 can be ensured. Subsequently, during continued rotation, the sliding block 120 moves from the top surface 2188 towards a next trough face 2184, and the gap between electrode holder 210 and atomizer holder 100 in the axial direction of electrode holder 210 gradually decreases. At the end of the rotation, the sliding block 120 is located at the next trough face 2184 and the electrode 220 is in contact with the electrical connecting post 23 of another atomizer 2 to form an electrical connection. It can be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the guide groove 212 may also be formed on the inner wall of the atomizer holder 100, and the sliding block 120 may be formed on the outer wall of the electrode holder 210.
In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 9 and 12, the guide groove 212 further has a third cooperating face 2121 spaced apart form and disposed opposite to the second cooperating face 218, the third cooperating face 2121 has a first limiting face 2122 corresponding to the trough face 2184, and the trough face 2184 and the first limiting face 2122 are both planar. The sliding block 120 also has a fourth cooperating face 160 disposed opposite to the first cooperating face 150, and the first cooperating face 150 and the fourth cooperating face 160 are both planar. In this way, when the sliding block 120 slides to the trough face 2184, the sliding block can be limited between the trough face 2184 and the first limiting face 2122 in the axial direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the atomizer 2 and the electrode 220.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, the third cooperating face 2121 also has a second limiting face 2123 corresponding to the top surface 2188, and the top surface 2188 and the second limiting face 2123 are both planar. In this way, the sliding block 120 can smoothly slide on the top surface 2188 during rotation, thereby ensuring the rotation stability of the atomizer holder 100.
Optionally, the uphill section 2186 may extend along a straight line or a curved line.
Optionally, the downhill section 2187 may extend along a straight line or a curved line.
In one embodiment, the number of peak faces 2185 is the same as the number of atomizers 2, As such, the process of sliding the sliding block 120 out of one trough face 2184 and to another trough face 2184 just corresponds to the rotation of the atomizer holder 100 by the preset angle, so as to realize the replacement of one atomizer 2, and facilitate the rotation control. It can be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the number of the peak faces 2185 may not be the same as the number of the atomizers 2. For example, the number of atomizers 2 is an integer multiple of the number of peak faces 2185. Thus, when the sliding block 120 slides out of one trough face 2184 and to another trough face 2184, two atomizers 2 are replaced together.
In the above embodiment, by the circumferential sliding of the sliding block 120 in the guide groove 212, the atomizer holder 100 may move towards or away from the electrode 220 in the axial direction of the atomizing device. In addition, when the sliding block 120 is inserted into the guide groove 212, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 can be limited in the axial direction of the atomizing device, so as to ensure that the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 can slide relative to one another in the axial direction while rotating relative to one another, but are difficult to separate from each other, thereby ensuring the rotation stability of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210.
Specifically, during the sliding process, the first cooperating face 150 and the fourth cooperating face 160 of the sliding block 120 abut against the second cooperating face 218 and the third cooperating face 2121 of the guide groove 212 respectively, to axially limit the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210.
In the above embodiment, referring to FIG. 12, the electrode holder 210 is provided with a first convex ring 2191 and a second convex ring 2192 protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the electrode holder. The first convex ring 2191 and the second convex ring 2192 are spaced from each other in the axial direction of the atomizing device to form the guide groove 212. The sliding block 120 is inserted between the first convex ring 2191 and the second convex ring 2192 from the side of the first convex ring 2191 away from the second convex ring 2192. Specifically, by applying an external force capable of overcoming the elasticity of the sliding block 120 and the first convex ring 2191, the sliding block 120 is engaged in the guide groove 212, and can slide in the guide groove 212.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 12, the sliding block 120 comprises a connecting face 121 and a first guide face 122. The connecting face 121 is disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the inner peripheral face of the atomizer holder 100. One end of the connecting face 121 is connected to the fourth cooperating face 160, and the first guide face 122 is connected between the other end of the connecting face 121 and the first cooperating face 150. The first guide face 122 is inclined relative to the first cooperating face 150. The face of the first convex ring 2191 away from the second convex ring 2192 is a second guide face 2193, and the second guide face 2193 is inclined relative to the axial direction of the atomizing device. Once the sliding block 120 abuts the first convex ring 2191, the first guide face 122 comes into contact with the second guide face 2193. Due to the guiding action of the first guide face 122 and the second guide face 2193, the sliding block 120 can quickly enter into the guide groove 212 from the first convex ring 2191.
Optionally, the sliding block 120 may be substantially square in shape and provided with the first guide face 122. It should be understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the face of the sliding block 120 may also be a curved face, for example, each of the first cooperating face 150 and the fourth cooperating face 160 may be a curved face.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 11, a sleeve 211 extends from a side edge of the electrode holder 210 toward the atomizer holder 100. The atomizer holder 100 is arranged around the sleeve 211, to form a rotational connection between the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210. The guide groove 212 is formed on an outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 211.
In the present application, the electrical connection state between the atomizers 2 and the electrode 220 is switched by relative rotation of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210. In order to facilitate the user to know whether the atomizer holder 100 or the electrode holder 210 is rotated in place when rotating the atomizer holder 100 or the electrode holder 210, the present application has a design described below.
Specifically, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the atomizer holder 100 is provided with a bump 130 protruding from an inner wall of the atomizer holder 100. The electrode holder 210 is provided with a plurality of cooperating grooves 217 recessed from an outer wall of the electrode holder 210. The plurality of cooperating grooves 217 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. During the relative rotation of the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210, the bump 130 is sequentially engaged into different cooperating grooves 217. Specifically, when the atomizer holder 100 is rotated relative to the electrode holder 210, the bump 130 is disengaged from one of the cooperating grooves 217. Furthermore, after the atomizer holder 100 is rotated to a predetermined position, the bump 130 is engaged into next one of the cooperating grooves 217, thereby ensuring that the atomizer holder 100 is stable after the atomizer holder is rotated to a predetermined position, and unintended rotation of the atomizer holder can be avoided. In addition, the engagement of the bump 130 into the cooperating groove 217 can generate a resistance feedback, thus serving as a prompt to the user.
The number of cooperating grooves 217 may be the same as the number of atomizers 2. Thus, each time the atomizer holder 100 is rotated by a predetermined angle, the bump 130 is disengaged from one of the cooperating grooves 217 and then engaged into next one of the cooperating grooves 217. Therefore, the circumferential limit can be formed, and each time the atomizer holder 100 is rotated to a predetermined position, the resistance feedback is generated to prompt the user that the atomizer holder has rotated to the predetermined position. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of cooperating grooves 217 may be N times the number of atomizers 2, that is, the atomizer holder is rotated by the predetermined angle after N resistance feedbacks are generated.
The number of bump 130 may be one, and the bump 130 is engaged into one of the cooperating grooves 217 at a time. Alternatively, the number of bumps 130 may be more than one, and it is necessary to ensure that the number of cooperating grooves 217 is an integral multiple of the number of bumps 130, so that each bump 130 can be engaged into a respective one of the cooperating grooves 217 at a time.
In the above embodiment, the bump 130 extends in the axial direction of the electrode holder 210, and the cooperating groove 217 passes through the first convex ring 2191 in the axial direction of the atomizing device. When the sliding block 120 is engaged into the guide groove 212 in the axial direction of the atomizing device, the bump 130 is inserted into the cooperating groove 217. The arrangement of the bump 130 can improve the stability and strength of the engagement between the bump 130 and the cooperating groove 217. It can be understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the bump 130 may not be in the shape of an elongated strip, but in the shape of a block or an arc, and the cooperating groove 217 may also be a groove or an arc groove. Further, the cooperating groove 217 may also be formed in the atomizer holder 100 and the bump 130 may also be formed in the electrode holder 210, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Further, since the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 move towards or away from each other in the axial direction while rotating, and the atomizers 2 is detachably placed to the atomizer holder 100, the present invention ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the atomizer 2 and the electrode 220 in the manner described below. In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, a first magnetic member 230 is mounted on the electrode holder 210, and a second magnetic member 24 is mounted on the atomizer 2. The first magnetic member 230 and the second magnetic member 24 attract each other, so that the atomizer 2 rotated to a predetermined position can be attracted, and the stability of the electrical connection between the electrode 220 and the atomizer 2 can be ensured.
Optionally, the center of the electrode holder 210 is provided with one first magnetic member 230. When each atomizer 2 is placed in the atomizer holder 100, a plurality of second magnetic members 24 are disposed around the periphery of the first magnetic member 230 so as to attract the first magnetic member 230. In other embodiments, the first magnetic members 230 may be provided on either side of the two electrodes 220 on the electrode holder 210, or, for each atomizer 2, one first magnetic member 230 is provided.

Embodiment 3

The technical features of the atomizing device in this embodiment are basically the same as those of the atomizing device in the first embodiment, and the differences are as follows: referring to FIGS. 13 to 15, the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 are slidably connected to each other; by driving the atomizer holder 100 and the electrode holder 210 to slide relative to each other, the relative positions of the electrode 220 and the atomizer 2 can be switched.
In this embodiment, the atomizers 2 are arranged along a straight line, the atomizer holder 100 is immobilized, and the electrode holder 210 is slidable along a straight line to allow the switching of the electrical connection between the electrode 220 and the atomizers 2.
In this embodiment, the atomizer holder 100 is immobilized and the atomizers 2 in the atomizer holder 100 are arranged in a straight line. The electrode holder 210 is driven to move, to form the electrical connection between the electrode 220 on the electrode holder 210 and the atomizer 2 in the atomizer holder 100, and form the fluid communication between the first air inlet 216 and the atomizer. In the above configuration, the atomizers 2 in the atomizer holder 100 are arranged in a straight line, so that the thickness of the atomizing device can be reduced, which is advantageous for constructing an aerosol production apparatus in the form of a box. Compared with the design in which the atomizers 2 are arranged in a circumferential array, the above configuration is more conducive to reducing the size of the device and facilitating portability.
In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 13 to 15, the atomizing device further comprises a transmission mechanism 800, and the electrode holder 210 is connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism 800.

The driving wheel 820 is connected to the drive 810, and the driving wheel 820 and the driven wheel 830 are spaced apart in the arrangement direction in which the atomizers 2 are arranged. The belt 840 is disposed around the driving wheel 820, and the electrode holder 210 is mounted on the belt 840. The drive 810 drives the driving wheel 820 to rotate, to drive the driven wheel 830 to rotate, and drive the belt 840 to move. Then the electrode holder 210 on the belt 840 is driven to move along a straight line, to form the electrical connection and fluid communication to the atomizer 2 in sequence. The belt transmission mechanism 800 occupies a small overall space, and occupies a small space in the arrangement direction of the atomizers 2, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the atomizing device. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the movement of the electrode holder 210 can also be achieved by other means such as rack and pinion, ball screw, or screw.
In this embodiment, the drive 810 is a handwheel, and the electrode holder 210 can be driven to move by rotating the handwheel, which is convenient to operate and simple in structure. It can be understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the drive 810 may also be a motor, and the belt 840 is automatically driven, by the motor, to move.
In this embodiment, the belt transmission mechanism further comprises a rotating wheel 850 connected to the output end of the handwheel, the rotating wheel 850 meshes with the driving wheel 820 for transmission. The diameter of the rotating wheel 850 is greater than the diameter of the driving wheel 820. Thus, by providing the rotating wheel 850, the rotational motion of the handwheel can be accelerated and transmitted to the driving wheel 820.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 15, the electrode holder 210 is plate-shaped. Each of two ends of the electrode holder 210 opposite to one another in a first direction is provided with a protrusion 213.

The first direction is perpendicular to the movement direction of the electrode holder 210, and the first direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the atomizers 2.
In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the electrode holder 210 is made of a rubber material to facilitate sealing. When the electrode holder 210 moves below the atomizer 2, the first air inlet 216 on the electrode holder 210 can be in sealed communication with the second air inlet 21 in the atomizer 2.
In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the belt 840 is provided with a plurality of gaskets 1000 located on two opposite sides of the electrode holder 210. On each side of the electrode holder 210, at least two the gaskets 1000 are provided. When the electrode holder 210 is connected with one of the atomizers 2, the gaskets 1000 are able to block the second air inlets 21 of the remaining atomizers 2, to avoid odor transfer.

In this embodiment, each protrusion 213 is formed at a periphery of the side of the atomizer holder 100 facing towards the electrode holder 210, and each groove 110 is formed at a periphery of the side of the electrode holder 210 facing towards the atomizer holder 100.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 16, the side of the atomizer holder 100 facing towards the electrode holder 210 is also provided with an avoidance groove 140 extending along the movement trajectory of the electrode 220. The avoidance groove 140 is configured to allow the atomizer holder to avoid the electrode 220, to reduce the friction between the electrode 220 and the atomizer holder 100. Specifically, two avoidance grooves 140 are formed in the atomizer holder 100 at positions corresponding to the movement trajectories of the two electrodes 220, so as to avoid friction between the two electrodes 220 and the atomizer holder 100 during the rotation of the electrodes. In this embodiment, the avoidance groove 140 is provided in the atomizer holder 100, so that the friction between the electrode 220 and the atomizer 2 can be reduced or even avoided, the wear of the gold plating layer of the electrode 220 can be reduced, the heating atomization performance of the atomizer can be improved, and the service life of the electrode 220 can also be improved.
In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 16, the bottom of the atomizer 2 is provided with a buffer slope 25 that cooperates with the avoidance groove 140 of the atomizer holder 100, to ensure that the electrode 220 can smoothly migrate from the avoidance groove 140 to the atomizer 2, and avoid the problem of blocking the movement of the electrode 220.
