  • With the increasingly strict regulations and restrictions on tobacco products in various regions and governments around the world, people's demands for tobacco substitutes also continue to grow. An electronic cigarette device may be a tobacco substitute, which uses an electronic aerosol generation device or an electronic vaporization device to vaporize a vaporizable material (for example, e-liquid) to generate an aerosol for inhalation by a user, thereby achieving a sensory experience of simulated smoking. Compared to traditional tobacco products, the electronic cigarette device as the substitute can effectively reduce harmful substances generated by combustion, thereby reducing harmful side effects of smoking.
  • However, the electronic cigarette device in repetitive use often has some limitations, including the need to replace or fill e-liquids, complicated operations, e-liquid leakage, scorching, shortage of battery life, and high prices, which inevitably results in a poor user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to further develop and improve the electronic cigarette device.

As shown in the FIG. 4E, a width of the aerosol channel 100 c near the mouthpiece hole 1 h may be gradually extended outwards along the mouthpiece hole 1 h, which helps emission of smoke. As shown in FIG. 4F, the width of the aerosol channel 100 c may be substantially the same.

The first liquid absorbing component 3 is in a shape of a long tube, and is disposed in the annular groove 1 g of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1 t. One end of the first liquid absorbing component 3 abuts against a side wall 1 w of the annular groove 1 g, and the other end of the first liquid absorbing component 3 abuts against a convex connection tube 4 t 1 of the heating component top cap 4. In some embodiments, when the first liquid absorbing component 3 is disposed in the annular groove 1 g of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1 t, an inner diameter of the first liquid absorbing component 3 is substantially the same as an inner diameter of the inner wall surface (that is, an inner wall surface without the annular groove) of the mouthpiece tube 1 t. In this way, because the first liquid absorbing component 3 is disposed in the annular groove 1 g, and one end, which is adjacent to the mouthpiece tube 1 t, of the first liquid absorbing component 3 abuts against the side wall 1 w of the annular groove 1 g, the user cannot remove the first liquid absorbing component 3 from the mouthpiece hole 1 h.

In this way, the through flow channel 4 c may communicate with the outside of the heating component top cap 4 through the liquid inlet holes 4 h 1. In some embodiments, the liquid inlet holes 4 h 1 may be located on two opposite sides, which are relatively flat, of the vaporization device 100. In this way, volatile substances do not heavily enter the vaporization chamber 40. In addition, when the mouthpiece cap 1 and the e-liquid storage component shell 2 are mounted on the heating component top cap 4, the inside of the mouthpiece cap 1 and the e-liquid storage component shell 2 and an outside top of the heating component top cap 4 form a storage compailinent 1 c. The storage compailinent 1 c is configured to store a liquid such as an e-liquid. The mouthpiece cap 1, the e-liquid storage component shell 2 and the heating component top cap 4 define the storage compailinent 1 c. The vaporizable material may be stored in the storage compailinent 1 c. The vaporizable liquid may be stored in the storage compartment 1 c. The vaporizable material may be a liquid. The vaporizable material may be a solution. In subsequent paragraphs of the present application, the vaporizable material may be referred to as e-liquid. The e-liquid is edible. In addition, the e-liquid may flow to the inside of the heating component top cap 4 through the liquid inlet hole 4 h 1 of the heating component top cap 4.
  • As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, there are first electrically conductive channels 4 h 2 and 4 h 3 on two sides of the bottom 42, and the first electrically conductive channels run through the bottom 42.

The heating component top cap 4 and the sealing component 41 may be formed by using different materials. The heating component top cap 4 and the sealing component 41 may include different materials. In some embodiments, hardness of the heating component top cap 4 may be greater than hardness of the sealing component 41. In some embodiments, the hardness of the heating component top cap 4 may be between 65 and 75. In some embodiments, the hardness of the heating component top cap 4 may be between 75 and 85.

In some embodiments, the heating core 53 is welded to the inner wall surface of the hollow tube 51 in a spiral manner. An inner channel of the hollow tube 51, the inner diameter of the first liquid absorbing component 3 and the inner diameter of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1 t may be substantially the same. In some embodiments, the inner channel of the hollow tube 51, the inner diameter of the first liquid absorbing component 3 and the inner diameter of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1 t may be different.
  • The heating core 53 may further be buried in the hollow tube 51, and may extend to the outside of the hollow tube 51, to be exposed on an outer wall surface of the hollow tube 51. In addition, an opening, which is located at the bottom 42, of the through flow channel 4 c is greater than an outer diameter of the heating component 5, and an opening, which is located at the connection tube 4 t 1, of the through flow channel 4 c is less than the outer diameter of the heating component 5. Therefore, when the heating component 5 is mounted in the through flow channel 4 c, the heating component 5 may only enter from the bottom 42, and cannot enter the through flow channel 4 c from the connection tube 4 t 1. Such configuration may improve the stable arrangement for the heating component 5.

The step is configured to support the heating component 5. When a condensate with a volatile material flows down the condensate flows to an annular groove 62 corresponding to the inner wall surface of the heating component 5, to prevent the condensate from flowing to the aerosol channel 100 c or the e-liquid cup base 7.
  • As shown in FIG. 3C, in some embodiments, the electrically conductive columns 6 p 1 and 6 p 2 includes second engaging structures 65.

The third electrically conductive channels 7 h 1 and 7 h 2 run through the e-liquid cup base 7, and the third electrically conductive channels 7 h 1 and 7 h 2 correspond to the second electrically conductive channels 6 h 1 and 6 h 2 of the heating component base 6. The positioning grooves 7 h 3 and 7 h 4 are located on two sides of the flow guide groove 72, and respectively correspond to the positioning holes 6 h 3 and 6 h 4 of the base body 61. In this way, as shown in FIG. 4E, when the heating component top cap 4, the heating component base 6 and the e-liquid cup base 7 are mounted together, the positioning columns 4 p 1 and 4 p 2 may run through the positioning holes 6 h 3 and 6 h 4 and the positioning grooves 7 h 3 and 7 h 4, so that the heating component top cap 4, the heating component base 6 and the e-liquid cup base 7 position each other.

In some embodiments, the aerosol channel 100 c is a channel through which an air flow between the flow guide groove 72 and the mouthpiece hole 1 h runs. Two opposite sides of the guide column 6 p 3 of the heating component base 6 respectively abut against corresponding end edges of the hollow flow guide columns 7 c 1 and 7 c 2. In some embodiments, the e-liquid cup base 7 includes a second liquid absorbing component 71 disposed on a bottom of the flow guide groove 72. The second liquid absorbing component 71 is configured to absorb the vaporizable liquid, for example, e-liquid, from the aerosol channel 100 c and the heating component 5. The second liquid absorbing component 71 and the flow guide groove 72 may be H-shaped, to avoid the hollow flow guide columns 7 c 1 and 7 c 2. As shown in FIG. 4E, the air inlet holes 7 h 5 and 7 h 6 are between the columnar electrically conductive structures 7 p 1 and 7 p 2, however, the air inlet holes 7 h 5 and 7 h 6 are not in the center, that is, do not run through the central axis L. In addition, extension directions L1 and L2 of the hollow flow guide columns 7 c 1 and 7 c 2 and an extension direction (the aerosol channel 100 c) of the first liquid absorbing component do not intersect with each other. In some embodiments, the extension directions L1 and L2 of the hollow flow guide columns 7 c 1 and 7 c 2 and the extension direction (that is, an extension direction of the aerosol channel 100 c) of the first liquid absorbing component are parallel, but do not intersect with each other. As shown in FIG. 3D, FIG. 4E, FIG. 4F and FIG. 4G, when the air inlet holes 7 h 5 and 7 h 6 of the hollow flow guide columns 7 c 1 and 7 c 2 enter the e-liquid cup base 7, the guide column 6 p 3 changes an original straight forward moving direction of an air flow G1 (as shown in FIG. 3D), so that the air flow G1 is guided into the flow guide groove 72 again. Then the air flow enters the vaporization chamber 40 in the heating component top cap 4 along an axis direction and through a through hole in the guide column 6 p 3 of the heating component base 6. Through such non-straight-line air flow guide manner, it is effectively prevented that a vaporizable material and a condensate thereof flows out from the air inlet holes 7 h 5 and 7 h 6 of the e-liquid cup base 7 of the e-liquid storage component 100A.

  • In some embodiments, the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b may have a same polarity (magnetic polarity) when facing the outer side of the vaporization device 100 (for example, a direction facing the opening 22 h 1, or a direction away from the e-liquid storage component 100A). For example, the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b are simultaneously the S-pole, or simultaneously the N-pole. When the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b has a same polarity when facing the direction away from the e-liquid storage component (that is, facing the outer side of the vaporization device 100), when the vaporization device 100 needs to be connected to an external accommodation device (for example, a charging box or a charging base) with a corresponding polarity, the vaporization device 100 may be normally attached to the external device regardless of whether the vaporization device 100 is put in the external device with the front surface or the back surface, and the vaporization device 100 is normally charged through the charging conductive component 19.
  • In addition, in another embodiment, the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b may have different polarities (that is, the polarities are opposite to each other) when facing a direction away from the e-liquid storage component (that is, facing the outer side of the vaporization device 100). That is, one of the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b is the N-pole, and another one is the S-pole. When the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b may have different polarities when facing the outer side of the vaporization device 100, when the vaporization device 100 is put into an external accommodation device in a non-corresponding direction, a magnetically conductive component in the external device may bounce the vaporization device 100, so that the user may immediately learn that the vaporization device 100 is inserted into the charging box in a wrong manner
  • FIG. 6 is a cross sectional schematic view of a side surface in which a vaporization device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application is disposed in an accommodation device 200. As shown in FIG. 6, the vaporization device 100 may be accommodated in an accommodation device 200. For example, the accommodation device 200 may include an accommodation groove 210, and the accommodation groove 210 may be configured to accommodate the vaporization device 100. On the other hand, in some embodiments, the accommodation device 200 may use a charging function, to charge the vaporization device 100. In some embodiments, the accommodation device 200 may include a magnetic component 220, where the magnetic component 220 is disposed under one end of the accommodation groove 210.
  • In some embodiments, a central axis normal L3 extended by a top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 does not run through the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b of the vaporization device 100, while a tangent L4 of a side edge 224 adjacent to the vaporization device 100 near the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 runs through the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b corresponding to the body 100B of the vaporization device 100. That is, the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b is closer to a central area of the accommodation device 200 compared to the magnetic component 220. For example, when the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 is the N-pole, an end surface 18 c, which is outward the vaporization device 100 (a direction away from the e-liquid storage component 100A), of the magnetically conductive component 18 a is the S-pole, and an end surface 18 b, which is outward the vaporization device 100 (a direction away from the e-liquid storage component 100A) of the magnetically conductive component 18 c is the N-pole. Because the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 and the relatively close magnetically conductive component 18 a of the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b attract each other, the vaporization device 100 may be correctly disposed in a specified position of the accommodation device 200. Because the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 and the relatively far magnetically conductive component 18 b of the magnetically conductive components 18 a and 18 b repel each other, it is prevented that because of too much magnetic forces, the magnetically conductive component 18 a causes an opposite side surface (that is, the end edge of the mouthpiece cap 1 of the e-liquid storage component 100A) of the vaporization device 100 to be warped or bounced. As a result, the magnetically conductive component 18 b has an effect of stably disposing the vaporization device 100 in the accommodation device 200.
  • In some embodiments, if the charging box and the charging base corresponding to the vaporization device 100 does not have a corresponding polarity (electric polarity), the adjustment circuit 24 on the charging circuit board 23 may be configured to adjust a current from the charging conductive component 19, to complete charging. Therefore, regardless of whether the vaporization device 100 is inserted in the charging box and the charging base in a forward direction or a backward direction, the adjustment circuit 24 may be configured to adjust a charging current, to complete charging of the vaporization device 100. For example, it is assumed that power is supplied to a first power input point P1 (not shown) and a second power input point P2 (not shown) of the charging circuit board 23 through the charging conductive component 19, a first circuit output point T1 of the charging circuit board 23 is a positive pole (+) output, and a second circuit output point T2 is a negative pole (−) output. In a first condition, when the power input point P1 receives a power input of positive pole power, and the second power input point P2 receives a power input of negative pole power, by adjusting a configuration of a switch circuit module of the adjustment circuit 24, the first circuit output point Ti (not shown) is a positive pole, and the second circuit output point T2 (not shown) is a negative pole. In a second condition, when the power input point P1 receives a power input of negative pole power, and the second power input point P2 receives a power input of positive pole power, by adjusting the configuration of a switch circuit module of the adjustment circuit 24, the first circuit output point T1 is adjusted to a positive pole, and the second circuit output point T2 is adjusted to a negative pole. Therefore, regardless of how the polarities of the first power input point P1 and the second power input point P2 changes, the first circuit output point T1 and the second circuit output point T2 always maintain fixed output polarities by adjusting the adjustment circuit 24, and supply power to a next-level circuit, for example, the power supply component 20 and/or the main circuit board 15.
  • In some embodiments, the inner wall of the e-liquid storage component shell 2 may include a plurality of ribs, which are disposed at intervals.

The ribs may prevent the e-liquid storage component shell 2 from deforming because of an extrusion of an external force. The ribs may prevent e-liquid in the storage compailinent 1 c from overflowing because of an extrusion of an external force.

  • The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 may prevent the heating core 53 from dry burning. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 may reduce a probability of burning the heating device 13. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 may increase safety of the heating device 13. The self-limiting temperature characteristic of the heating core 53 may prolong service life of each component in the heating device 13.

  • In some embodiments, the heating component 5 includes a protective component (not shown) connected to the heating core 53.
  • In some embodiments, the protective component has a recoverable characteristic.
  • When the temperature of the protective component rises to a threshold T2, the protective component forms an open circuit. When the temperature of the protective component drops to a threshold e, the protective component forms a short circuit.

Aside from the mouthpiece hole 1 h, the aerosol channel 100 c formed by the mouthpiece tube 1 t, the first liquid absorbing component 3, and the connection tube 4 t 1 may have a smooth inner diameter. The inner diameter of an aerosol channel 100t does not have an obvious segment gap in a junction of the mouthpiece tube 1 t and the first liquid absorbing component 3. There is no obvious segment gap in a junction of the first liquid absorbing component 3 and the connection tube 4 t 1.

In this way, through an appropriate deformation of that the heating component base 6 is engaged to the heating component top cap 4 and the e-liquid cup base 7, a sealing degree of that the heating component base 6 is engaged to the heating component top cap 4 and the e-liquid cup base 7 may be improved, a tolerance requirement is lowered, and a manufacturing difficulty is reduced. In some embodiments, the hardness of the heating component top cap 4 may be less than hardness of the e-liquid storage component shell 2. In some embodiments, hardness of the sealing component 41 may be less than the hardness of the heating component top cap 4. The sealing component 41 may improve a sealing degree between the e-liquid storage component shell 2 and the heating component top cap 4. The sealing component 41 may lower a tolerance requirement of the e-liquid storage component shell 2 and the heating component top cap 4. The sealing component 41 may reduce a manufacturing difficulty of the e-liquid storage component shell 2 and the heating component top cap 4. The sealing component 41 may prevent the e-liquid storage component shell 2 and the heating component top cap 4 from being damaged in an component process.

A back segment of the air flow G1 includes an aerosol generated by the heating component 5. The fresh air enters the vaporization chamber 40 through the air inlet holes 7 h 5 and 7 h 6 and the flow guide groove 72, and the aerosol generated by the heating component 5 is discharged from the mouthpiece hole lh along the aerosol channel 100 c.
  • The air flow is heated by the heating component 5 in the vaporization chamber 40, so that a temperature changes, and a volatile material is simultaneously vaporized into the air flow.
  • When the air flow flows to the connection tube 4 t 1, because the inner diameter of the connection tube 4 t 1 is less than the inner diameter of the vaporization chamber 40, the air flow starts to accelerate, and the temperature decreases.

  • In some embodiments, the aerosol channel 100 c may have an uneven inner diameter. The inner diameter of the aerosol channel 100t gradually increases from a position adjacent to the heating component 5 to a direction of the mouthpiece hole 1 h. The relatively large inner diameter adjacent to the mouthpiece hole 1 h may cause a volume of the aerosol to be enlarged.
  • By adjusting an inner wall width of the vaporization chamber 40 and an inner diameter width of the aerosol channel 100 c, the temperature of the aerosol inhaled by the user from the mouthpiece hole 1 h may be controlled. By adjusting the inner wall width of the vaporization chamber 40 and an inner diameter width of the aerosol channel 100t, a volume of the aerosol inhaled by the user from the mouthpiece hole 1 h may be controlled.
