The aerosol generating element base 9 may include a groove 9r2. During the long-term use of the atomizing device, when a small amount of liquid still passes through the opening 61h on the grid frame 6, the groove 9r2 can accommodate the liquid, reducing the probability of the liquid leaking to the outside of the aerosol generating assembly 100A. A liquid suction assembly 90 can be arranged in the groove 9r2. During the long-term use of the atomizing device, when a small amount of liquid still passes through the opening 61h on the grid frame 6, the liquid suction assembly 90 arranged in the groove 9r2 can absorb the liquid and reduce the leakage of liquid to the outside of the aerosol generating assembly 100A. probability. The material of the absorbent assembly 90 may comprise an oil absorbent sponge. The suction component 90 may include a hole 90h and a recess 90c.

An atomizing chamber 7c is defined between the heating assembly 5 and the lower cover 71 of the heating assembly. The aerosol generated after the heating element 5 heats the e-liquid is first generated in the atomizing chamber 7c, and then enters the pipe 1t through the groove 3pg and cavity 3c (see FIGS. 2A and 2B ) of the heating element upper cover 3 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the conductive pin 5p1 of the heating element 5 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p1 . The conductive pin 5p2 of the heating element 5 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p2. The conductive pin 5p2 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p2 via the segment 5b1. The conductive pin 5p1 is in direct contact with the conductive structure 9p1 in the same way.

The grid frame 6 is arranged between the lower cover 71 of the heating assembly and the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly. The grid frame 6 is fixed between the lower cover 71 of the heating assembly and the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly. The grid frame 6 can be in direct contact with the lower cover 71 of the heating element and the base 9 of the aerosol generating element. The grid frame 6 is provided in the opening 71h1 of the lower cover 7 of the heating assembly. Due to the structural design of the lower cover 7 of the heating element and the base 9 of the aerosol generating element, the grid frame 6 can be fixed between the lower cover 71 of the heating element and the base 9 of the aerosol generating element without additional components. The structural design of the lower cover 7 of the heating assembly, the grid frame 6 and the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly reduces the assembly difficulty of the aerosol generating assembly 100A. The structural design of the lower cover 7 of the heating assembly, the grid frame 6 and the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly reduces the number of components in the aerosol generating assembly 100A.

The grid frame 6 is arranged between the conductive pins 5p1 and 5p2 of the heating element 5 . The grid frame 6 is arranged above the openings 9h1 and 9h2 of the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly. The opening 9h1 extends in the direction of the axis 9x1. The opening 9h2 extends in the direction of the axis 9x2. The extending direction of the opening 9h1 passes through the grid frame 6 . The extending direction of the opening 9h2 passes through the grid frame 6 .

When the aerosol generated by the heating element 5 is not completely inhaled by the user, it may condense into a liquid in the atomizing chamber 7c. In the case where the grid frame 6 is not provided, the liquid in the atomizing chamber 7c may leak to the outside of the aerosol generating assembly 100A through the opening 9h1 or 9h2 of the aerosol generating assembly base 9 . The leaked liquid may cause damage to electronic components within the main body 100B. The leaked liquid may also contaminate other valuables of the user during the process of carrying the atomizing device 100 by the user, resulting in poor user experience.

The grid frame 6 can effectively reduce the probability that the condensed liquid in the atomizing chamber 7c leaks from the opening 9h1 or 9h2 of the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly. The grid frame 6 can effectively prevent the condensed liquid in the atomizing chamber 7c from leaking from the opening 9h1 or 9h2 of the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly. The grid frame 6 can reduce the leakage of condensed liquid and cause the malfunction of the atomizing device 100 . The grid frame 6 can improve the service life of the atomizing device 100 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , when the gas mist generating element 100A is used to allow the gas to enter the aerosol generating element 100A from the openings 9h1 and 9h2 of the aerosol generating element base 9, the gas will pass through the concave portion 90c of the liquid absorbing element 90 in sequence and pass the test. The grid 6 enters the atomizing chamber 7c between the heating assembly 5 and the lower cover 7 of the heating assembly. The e-liquid stored in the storage compartment 30 can reach the groove 5c on the top of the heating element 5 through the openings 3h2 and 3h3. The e-liquid in the heating assembly 5 is heated to generate aerosol, and after mixing with the gas, it can flow to the opening 3h1 of the upper cover 3 through the groove 3pg and the cavity 3c in FIGS. 2A and 2B . Finally, the aerosol flows out through the tube 1t and the opening 1h, so as to be provided to the user for inhalation.

The conductive grooves 21c1 and 21c2 are correspondingly disposed on the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 of the aerosol generating element base 9 (as shown in FIG. 3 ). The conductive elements 11 are respectively disposed through the conductive grooves 21c1 and 21c2. When the aerosol generating component 100A is disposed on the first end 211 of the bracket 21 , the conductive component 11 can be electrically coupled to the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 of the aerosol generating component base 9 . The side of the bracket 21 is provided with fasteners 215 , and the fasteners 215 can be fixed to opposite slots in the housing 22 , so that the bracket 21 and the housing 22 are fixed.

The magnetic component 12 is disposed around the conductive component 11 . The magnetic component 12 may be magnetic. When the magnetic element 12 approaches the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 of the aerosol generating element base 9 (as demonstrated in FIG. 3 ), the magnetic element 12 attracts the conductive structures 9p1 and 9p2 to magnetically engage with each other in a detachable manner.

When the sensor 13 detects a sound wave, the controller 15e can control the power supply component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11 . When the controller 15e determines that the amplitude of the sound wave detected by the sensor 13 is higher than a threshold, the controller 15e can control the power supply component 20 to output power to the conductive component 11 .

The vibrator 17 may be electrically connected to the controller 15e. In some embodiments, vibrator 17 is electrically connected to controller 15e on circuit board 15 via a cable.

According to different operating states of the atomizing device 100, the controller 15e can control the vibrator 17 to produce different somatosensory effects. In some embodiments, when the user inhales for more than a certain period of time, the controller 15e can control the vibrator 17 to vibrate to remind the user to stop inhaling. In some embodiments, when the user charges the atomizing device 100, the controller 15e may control the vibrator 17 to vibrate to indicate that the charging has started. In some embodiments, when the charging of the atomizing device 100 has been completed, the controller 15e may control the vibrator 17 to vibrate to indicate that the charging has been completed.

The light guide frame 14 is erected on the main circuit board 15 . The main circuit board 15 may further include one or more light-emitting components 15e, and the light emitted by the light-emitting components is visible through the light guide frame 14.

The main body 100B may also contain a charging assembly 18 . The charging assembly 18 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 22 . The charging assembly 18 may be an electrical port 25 . Power supply assembly 20 may be charged via charging assembly 18 .

The stent 21 has an airway 21s inside it. In some embodiments, the stent 21 has an airway 21s inside it at the first end 211 . The holder 21 is configured so that the external air of the atomizing device 100 flows into the air passage 21s of the holder 21 via the side 21e of the holder 21 . The external air then flows back into the aerosol generating assembly 100A through the air passage 21s. In some embodiments, the airway 21s has a perforation 21h and a recess 21g that communicate with each other. The diameter of the through hole 21h may be smaller than the length, width and/or height of the recessed portion 21g. The concave portion 21g has a second through hole 21a, and the second through hole 21a faces the aerosol generating assembly 100A. That is, opposite ends of the air passage 21s may be the through holes 21h and the second through holes 21a

In some embodiments, the body 100B may also contain the sealing kit 10 . The sealing kit 10 is provided in the recess 21 g of the bracket 21 . The shape of the sealing sleeve 10 may correspond to the shape of the recessed portion 21g, so that the sealing sleeve 10 can be fixed in the recessed portion 21g in a fitting manner, and the gap between the sealing sleeve 10 and the recessed portion 21g can be tightly closed.

In some embodiments, the sealing kit 10 has a first corresponding hole 10h1, a second corresponding hole 10h2 and a guide cavity 10c. The first corresponding holes 10h1 communicate with the perforations 21h of the air passages 21s and correspond to each other. The second corresponding hole 10h2 is in fluid communication with the second through hole 21a of the recess 21g and corresponds to each other. The guide cavity 10c is in fluid communication with the first corresponding hole 10h1 and the second corresponding hole 10h2, respectively. The guide cavity 10c of the sealing kit 10 can temporarily store the e-liquid leaking from the aerosol generating assembly 100A; the guiding cavity 10c of the sealing kit 10 can temporarily store the condensate leaking from the aerosol generating assembly 100A. The guide cavity 10c of the sealing kit 10 can reduce the chance of the e-liquid or the condensate coming into contact with the electronic components in the main body 100B. The guide cavity 10c of the sealing kit 10 can reduce the chance of failure of the electronic components in the main body 100B due to e-liquid or condensate.

The sealing sleeve 10 may further have a third corresponding hole 10h3. The bracket 21 has a column body 21p, and the column body 21p extends from the main structure of the recess 21g toward the second corresponding hole 10h2. At least a part of the accommodating channel 21d may be formed in the column body 21p. The shape of the third corresponding hole 10h3 may correspond to the cylindrical shape of the cylinder 21p. When the sealing sleeve 10 is disposed in the recess 21g, the third corresponding hole 10h3 corresponds to the cylinder 21p, and the third corresponding hole 10h3 can be in fluid communication with the accommodating channel 21d. In some embodiments, the height of the column 21p is greater than the bottom of the concave portion 21g (or the bottom of the guide cavity 10c), and the top of the column 21p and the bottom of the concave portion 21g are not coplanar with each other. That is to say, the distance from the top of the cylinder 21p to the second corresponding hole 10h2 is greater than the distance from the bottom of the concave portion 21g (or the guide cavity 10c) to the second corresponding hole 10h2, which can prevent the leakage of the e-liquid from the aerosol generating assembly 100A from flowing into in the accommodating channel 21d of the cylinder 21p. Such a structure can reduce the chance of failure of electronic components (such as the sensor 13 ) in the main body 100B due to e-liquid or condensate.

5C illustrates a perspective view of a sealing kit of a cigarette rod from different perspectives according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The sealing kit 10 may further have a fixing member 10p. The fixing member 10p may be in the shape of a long column. The fixing member 10p can further position the sealing kit 10 on the bracket 21 through the fixing hole 21i at the bottom of the recess 21g (as demonstrated in FIG. 5B ). The fixing member 10p may have a tapered flange 10n located in the middle of the fixing member 10p and extending radially. The diameter of the flange 10n may taper outward. When the fixing member 10p passes through and is disposed in the fixing hole 21i, the tapered flange 10n of the fixing member 10p and the bottom surface 21k under the fixing hole 21i can be tightly engaged with each other (as shown in FIG. 3 ), so as to improve the fixing of the sealing kit 10 Stability in bracket 21 . In some embodiments, the number of the fixing member 10p and the fixing hole 21i is two.

As demonstrated in Figure 5B, the sealing kit 10 may further have an extension 10r. The extension 10r extends laterally from the top edge of the sealing sleeve 10 . The extension portion 10r can fit the edge of the second through hole 21a of the recessed portion 21g to avoid a gap between the sealing sleeve 10 and the recessed portion 21g.

In certain embodiments, the sealing sleeve 10 may be resilient. In certain embodiments, the sealing kit 10 may be flexible. In some embodiments, the sealing kit 10 may contain silicone. In some embodiments, the sealing kit 10 may be made of silicone. It can provide the function of sealing and buffering.

In certain embodiments, the sealing sleeve 10 may further have protrusions 10b extending upwardly from the top edge of the sealing sleeve 10 .

6 illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of the atomizing device along line 6-6 in FIG. 1A.

6, the overall height H of the sealing kit 10 is greater than or equal to the depth D of the recess 21g. When the aerosol generating assembly 100A is disposed on the main body 100B, the sealing sleeve 10 is directly sleeved (abutted) on the bottom of the aerosol generating assembly base 9 . Therefore, the sealing kit 10 can form a closed channel between the bracket 21 of the aerosol-generating assembly 100A and the aerosol-generating assembly base 9 of the main body 100B. The closed channel is spaced apart from the cavity 22s surrounded by the inner wall surface 22w in the housing 22 .

The accommodating channel 21d in the bracket 21 can accommodate the sensor 13 . That is, the sensor 13 may be in fluid communication with the guide cavity 10c of the sealing sleeve 10 in the recess 21g of the bracket 21 through the accommodating channel 21d. The sensor 13 can thus measure the pressure difference between the guide cavity 10c of the sealing kit 10 and the bracket 21 adjacent to the main board 15 or other physical properties (eg, sound waves, airflow velocity, and changes in air pressure).

7, the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 is configured so that the outside air of the atomizing device 100 is in fluid communication with the through hole 21h on the side 21e of the bracket 21 via the first through hole 22a. That is, the first through holes 22a are in fluid communication with the air passages 21s in the interior of the stent 21 . In this embodiment, the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 is located on the side of the housing 22 (the narrower side of the housing 22 ), and the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 corresponds to the front of the housing 22 (the wider side of the housing 22 ) ). , in this embodiment, the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 and the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 are roughly located on the same level, and the first through hole 22a of the outer shell 22 and the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 are spaced apart from each other by a distance of the airflow channel, as shown in the figure As shown in FIG. 7, the airflow channel is substantially horizontal, and the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 and the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 are in fluid communication with each other through the airflow channel.

The outer side of the bracket 21 further includes ribs 21v1 and 21v2. The ribs 21v1 and 21v2 are adjacent to the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 and the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 . The ribs 21v1 and 21v2 extend outward from the main structure of the bracket 21 toward the inner wall surface 22w of the abutting housing 22 . In some embodiments, ribs 21v1 and 21v2 extend 360 degrees outward. In more detail, the ribs 21v1 and 21v2 are spaced apart from each other so as to be located on the upper and lower sides of the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 and the first through hole 22a of the housing 22, respectively, to form independent airflow channels. Therefore, the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 and the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 can be in fluid communication through the airflow channels formed by the ribs 21v1 and 21v2. In this embodiment, the airflow channel formed between the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 and the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 may surround a quarter of the bracket 21 . In addition, the airflow can also enter from the first through hole 22a of the housing 22, and enter the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 from another opposite direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 7 ) around the other three-quarters of the circumference of the bracket 21 .

The sealing collar 16 can be sleeved around the outer side of the bracket 21 and is located below the rib 21v2. The outer edge of the sealing collar 16 can abut against the inner wall surface 22w of the housing 22 . The sealing collar 16 can be used to close the gap between the bracket 21 and the housing 22 to prevent the airflow between the upper and lower sides of the sealing collar 16 .

In some embodiments (not shown in this pattern), the ribs 21v1 and 21v2 can abut against the inner wall surface 22w of the housing 22 .

In some embodiments, the housing 22 may have a plurality of first through holes 22a. For example, in some embodiments, the housing 22 may have, for example, two first through holes 22a (eg, as shown in FIG. 3 ), which are respectively located on two opposite sides of the housing 22 (the narrower side of the housing 22 ) , and the two through holes 22a may correspond to only one through hole 21h of the bracket 21 . In some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 may directly correspond to the side of the casing 22 (the narrower side of the casing 22 ), so that the first through hole 22a located on the side of the casing 22 directly corresponds to the side of the casing 22 . Facing the perforation 21h of the bracket 21 . In some embodiments, the housing 22 may have only one first through hole 22a.

The first through hole 22a of the housing 22 is substantially at the same level as the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 . The horizontal plane may be formed by the x-axis and z-axis as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 . When the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 is substantially at the same level as the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 , the flow rate of the air entering the main body 100B can be effectively controlled and improved, and the speed of the air entering the bracket 21 can be accelerated.

Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 at the same time, after the aerosol generating element 100A is combined with the main body 100B, when the user inhales through the opening 1h, an airflow pulling force is generated inside the aerosol generating element 100A to the main body 100B. When the airflow F enters the interior of the housing 22 from the first through hole 22a of the housing 22 by the above-mentioned pulling force, the airflow F can then flow to the through holes 21h of the bracket 21 through the channels assisted by the ribs 21v1 and 21v2. Then, the airflow F enters the sealing member 10 in the recess 21g through the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 and the first corresponding hole 10h1 of the sealing member 10 . Afterwards, the airflow F enters the aerosol generating assembly 100A accommodated in the cavity (or the receiving portion) 22s of the main body 100B through the second corresponding hole 10h2 of the sealing sleeve 10 . In further detail, as demonstrated in FIG. 3 , the airflow F enters the openings 9h1 and 9h2 of the aerosol generating element base 9 of the aerosol generating element 100A in the cavity 22s through the second corresponding hole 10h2 of the sealing kit 10 . At the same time, when the user inhales, the additional airflow F2 can be detected by the sensor 13 through the accommodating channel 21d in which the recess 21g is in fluid communication with the sealing member 10 . When the sensor 13 detects a certain physical property, the sensor 13 sends a signal to the controller 15e, and the controller 15e then activates the current supply to the heating element 5. Therefore, the airflows F and F2 shown in FIG. 7 can be collected in the concave portion 21g of the bracket 21, and the overall stable flow of the airflows F and F2 can be effectively controlled.

Referring back to FIGS. 6 and 7 , according to the description of the above embodiment, the aerosol generating component 100A is configured to cooperate with the housing 22 and is disposed on the bracket 21 , and the aerosol generating component 100A passes through the air passage 21s of the bracket 21 and the housing 22 . The first through holes 22a on the side walls are in fluid communication with each other. Furthermore, in some embodiments, after the airflow F enters the housing 22 from the first through hole 22a on the side of the housing 22, the airflow F enters the recess 21g in the bracket 21 of the main body 100B through an independent airflow channel. Next, the airflow F passes through the recess 21g in the holder 21 and enters the aerosol generating module 100A. Since the airflow F first enters the structure in the main body 100B before entering the aerosol generating assembly 100A, such an airflow channel design can effectively control the flow direction and flow of the airflow, further improving the operational stability and user experience of the atomizing device 100 .

In FIG. 7, the traveling path of the air flow is explained with the first through hole 22a on only one side. The first through hole 22a not shown on the other side and its airflow path are similar, and the airflow can enter the bracket 21 from another object through the same through hole 21h. Therefore, the explanation will not be repeated.

In the embodiment illustrated by FIG. 8, the first through hole 22a1 of the housing 22 is located on the front side of the housing 22 (the wider side of the housing 22). Therefore, the first through hole 22a1 of the housing 22 directly faces the through hole 21h of the bracket 21 . Thus, the first through hole 22a1 directly facing the through hole 21h can make the airflow enter the recess 21g in the bracket 21 of the main body 100B more quickly, shorten the distance of airflow, and increase the airflow velocity.

In the embodiment illustrated by FIG. 9 , the concave portion 21g of the bracket 21 is not provided with a sealing kit similar to the previous embodiment. Therefore, the recessed portion 21g can face the aerosol-generating assembly base 9 of the aerosol-generating assembly 100A. The concave portion 21g of the bracket 21 can directly contact the aerosol-generating assembly base 9 of the aerosol-generating assembly 100A (in other words, the aerosol-generating assembly base is directly disposed on the concave portion 21g of the bracket 21 ) to form the bracket 21 and the aerosol-generating assembly Closed channel between bases 9. The closed channel may be isolated from the space within the housing 22 . Still further, the airflow can directly enter the aerosol generating assembly base 9 from the recess 21g of the bracket 21 . When the e-liquid or condensate in the aerosol generating assembly 100A leaks to the inside of the main body 100B along the opening of the base 9 of the aerosol generating assembly, the concave portion 21g can temporarily accommodate the liquid to prevent the liquid from passing through the accommodating channel 21d of the bracket 21 and the inside of the main body 100B. The sensor 13 is in contact. When the e-liquid or condensate in the aerosol generating assembly 100A leaks into the interior of the main body 100B along the opening of the aerosol generating assembly base 9, the recess 21g can temporarily accommodate the liquid to prevent the liquid from contacting other electronic components inside the main body 100B.
