【Detailed ways】

The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

Technical solution 1:

The inventor of this application found in the research process that the consumer demand for disposable electronic cigarettes is gradually increasing. However, the disposable nature of a disposable atomizer mainly lies in the disposable nature of the atomizing matrix, and its internal components such as batteries are not disposable components. Therefore, after the atomizer is used, in order to reduce resource waste and save costs, manufacturers can recycle the internal components of the disposable atomizer. Therefore, in the process of structural design and manufacturing, disposable atomizers have requirements such as detachable performance or installation stability.

Different from the prior art, the present application can provide the following embodiments of the atomizer 1. Based on the above technical background, the atomizer 1 in the embodiment of the atomizer 1 of the present application is a disposable atomizer 1, and the detachable solution described in the embodiment is mainly designed for disassembly during recycling by the manufacturer, and it is generally not recommended or required for users to disassemble the atomizer 1 by themselves.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the embodiment of the atomizer 1 of the present application describes an exemplary structure of the atomizer 1. The atomizer 1 includes a housing 30, an atomizer assembly 20, and a battery assembly 10. The housing 30 is used to accommodate the atomizer assembly 20 and the battery assembly 10. The housing 30 can also be held by a user.

Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the atomizing assembly 20 is partially arranged in the shell 30. The atomizing assembly 20 can store the atomizing matrix, and can atomize the atomizing matrix into an aerosol for the user to use. The atomizing assembly 20 comprises a main body 21 and a contact portion 22. The main body 21 comprises an inner channel member 212 arranged in a cylindrical shape and an outer channel member 211 sleeved outside the inner channel member 212. The inner channel member 212 and the outer channel member 211 are spaced apart to be provided with a liquid storage space. The liquid storage space can store the atomizing matrix, or the liquid storage space can be used to install a liquid storage cotton 214, and the liquid storage cotton 214 can store the atomizing matrix. The two ends of the inner channel member 212 and the outer channel member 211 are respectively provided with a sealing member 215, and the sealing member 215 is at least partially arranged between the inner channel member 212 and the outer channel member 211 to seal the liquid storage space.

The inner channel member 212 has an airway 213, and the inner channel member 212 is provided with a through hole connecting the liquid storage space and the airway 213. A heating assembly 24 is provided in the airway 213, and the heating assembly 24 is arranged at the through hole, and the atomized substrate in the liquid storage space can flow to the heating assembly 24 through the through hole. The heating assembly 24 can heat the atomized substrate to atomize it into an aerosol, and the aerosol can flow in the airway 213. Specifically, the heating assembly 24 includes a liquid-conducting cotton 241, a heater 242 and a pin 243. The liquid-conducting cotton 241 is arranged at the through hole of the inner channel member 212 to block the through hole and reduce liquid leakage. The heater 242 is arranged inside the liquid-conducting cotton 241, and the liquid-conducting cotton 241 can guide the atomized substrate to the heater 242, and the heater 242 can heat the atomized substrate and atomize it into an aerosol. The pin 243 is electrically connected to the heater 242. The pin 243 can be connected to an electrode to power the heater 242.

A nozzle 25 is provided at the same end of the inner channel member 212 and the outer channel member 211. The nozzle 25 is provided with an air outlet 251 connected to the airway 213. The aerosol in the airway 213 can be discharged through the air outlet 251 for use by the user. Optionally, a sealing member 215 near one end of the nozzle 25 is embedded with a liquid absorbent cotton 216 on the side facing the nozzle 25. Since the atomization of the atomized matrix may be incomplete, and condensation may also be generated during the flow of the aerosol, there may be liquid residue when the aerosol is discharged from the air outlet 251. The setting of the oil-absorbing cotton can absorb the liquid to reduce the residual liquid in the air outlet 251 to improve the user experience.

Further referring to FIG. 4 , the contact portion 22 is disposed at one end of the main body 21, and the contact portion 22 is disposed on the side of the inner channel member 212 and the outer channel member 211 away from the suction nozzle 25, and is located on the side of the sealing member 215 away from the suction nozzle 25. The contact portion 22 is penetrated with an electrode 23, and the electrode 23 can be electrically connected to the pin 243 of the heating component 24. Optionally, the contact portion 22 can also play a sealing role, or the contact portion 22 can be the same part as the sealing member 215 close thereto.

Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the battery assembly 10 includes a body 100 and a ejector pin 120, the body 100 is arranged opposite to the contact portion 22, and the ejector pin 120 is arranged on one side of the body 100 close to the contact portion 22. The body 100 includes a shell 110 and a battery 160, the battery 160 is detachably mounted on the shell 110, and the shell 110 is detachably mounted on the housing 30. The ejector pin 120 is inserted into one side of the housing 110 close to the contact portion 22 and is electrically connected to the battery 160. Optionally, in conjunction with Figures 2 and 3, the body 100 and the contact portion 22 are spaced apart, and there is an accommodation gap 40 between the two, a part of the ejector pin 120 is embedded in the body 100, and the other part is accommodated in the accommodation gap 40. The ejector pin 120 is electrically connected to the battery 160, and can be electrically connected to the electrode 23 when the atomizer assembly 20 and the battery assembly 10 are installed in place in the housing 30 to power the atomizer assembly 20. The housing 110 and the contact portion 22 are spaced apart so that the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20 can be manufactured and recycled relatively independently. The ejector pin 120 is partially accommodated in the accommodation gap 40, which is conducive to the contact between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120, reduces the possibility of virtual connection between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120, and increases the stability of the connection between the two.

In some embodiments, a magnet is embedded on one side of the housing 110 near the contact portion 22. The material of the electrode 23 may be made of a ferromagnetic material, in other words, the electrode 23 can generate an interaction force with the magnet. When the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20 are installed in place in the housing 30, the projection of the electrode 23 on the housing 110 covers the ejector pin 120 and the magnet. The projection of the electrode 23 covering the ejector pin 120 enables the electrode 23 to abut against the ejector pin 120 and be electrically conductive. The projection of the electrode 23 covering the magnet can generate a relatively stable and strong magnetic attraction between the magnet and the electrode 23. Optionally, the magnet can be a special-shaped magnet to increase the area corresponding to the magnet and the electrode 23 by changing the shape, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction of the two. By arranging a magnet corresponding to the electrode 23 on the housing 110, when the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20 are installed in place in the housing 30, the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20 can have a tendency to approach each other, thereby making the installation of the two more stable. Moreover, such a configuration can increase the pressure between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 when they are in contact, thereby increasing the stability of the electrical connection between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120. The method of increasing the installation stability by magnetic attraction can simplify the structure of the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20 and reduce the use of fixed structures. In this way, when disassembling the atomizer 1, the magnetic attraction between the magnet and the electrode 23 can be overcome to conveniently remove the battery assembly 10.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the contact portion 22 is provided with two electrodes 23. The body 100 is arranged opposite to the contact portion 22, and at least three ejector pins 120 are arranged on one side of the body 100 close to the contact portion 22. One of the two electrodes 23 is arranged corresponding to at least one ejector pin 120, and the other of the two electrodes 23 is arranged corresponding to the remaining ejector pins 120. The electrodes 23 are respectively abutted against the corresponding ejector pins 120 to electrically connect the atomizer assembly 20 and the battery assembly 10. The ejector pin 120 can be connected to the positive electrode or the negative electrode of the battery 160.

In this way, at least one electrode 23 can be arranged corresponding to at least two ejector pins 120. When the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20 are assembled to the housing 110, the electrode 23 can be electrically connected to more than one ejector pin 120. When any one of the at least two ejector pins 120 abuts against the corresponding electrode 23, the two can be electrically connected, thereby increasing the fault tolerance of the electrical conduction between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the number of ejector pins 120 is three, and one electrode 23 is arranged corresponding to one ejector pin 120. In this way, the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 can be electrically connected through normal abutment. The other electrode 23 is arranged corresponding to the remaining two ejector pins 120. In this way, the electrode 23 can correspond to the two ejector pins 120, and the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 can be electrically connected by abutting any one of the two ejector pins 120 with the electrode 23. In this way, the fault tolerance of the abutment between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 can be increased to increase the stability of the electrical connection between the two, thereby increasing the working stability of the atomizer 1. Moreover, the number of electrodes 23 and ejector pins 120 arranged in this embodiment makes reasonable use of the space of the battery assembly 10 and the atomization assembly 20, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the working stability of the atomizer 1 with a smaller space occupation.

Wherein, referring to FIG8, the electrode 23 corresponding to the two ejector pins 120 may include a connecting portion 231 and a flange portion 232 connected to each other. The connecting portion 231 is provided through the contact portion 22, and the connecting portion 231 can abut against the pin 243 of the heating component 24 to electrically connect the two. The flange portion 232 is embedded in the side of the contact portion 22 close to the battery assembly 10. The flange portion 232 is provided corresponding to the ejector pin 120. The provision of the flange portion 232 can increase the projection area of the electrode 23 on the battery assembly 10, and can facilitate the abutment between the ejector pin 120 and the electrode 23. The flange portion 232 of at least one electrode 23 includes an abutting portion 232a connected to the connecting portion 231 and an extending portion 232b extending from the abutting portion 232a. The extending portion 232b is provided corresponding to at least one ejector pin 120, and the abutting portion 232a is provided corresponding to at least one ejector pin 120. The provision of the extension portion 232b and the contact portion 232a enables the ejector pin 120 to contact the electrode 23 even at a relatively long distance. That is, even if a part of the electrode 23 fails, another part of the electrode 23 can still conduct electricity, thereby further increasing the fault tolerance of the electrical connection between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 .

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6 , the body 100 further includes a first circuit board 131 disposed between one end of the battery 160 close to the atomizer assembly 20 and the shell 110 , and a second circuit board 132 disposed between the other end of the battery 160 and the shell 110 , and the first circuit board 131 and the second circuit board 132 are electrically connected.

Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the specific structure of the housing 110 can be seen in the following exemplary description. The housing 110 includes a receiving portion 113 and a first end 111 and a second end 112 respectively disposed at both ends of the receiving portion 113. The receiving portion 113 and the first end 111 and the second end 112 are surrounded by a receiving cavity 113a, and the battery 160 is detachably disposed in the receiving cavity 113a. The first end 111 is disposed at one end of the receiving portion 113 close to the contact portion 22, and the second end 112 is disposed at the other end of the receiving portion 113. The ejector pin 120 is penetrated through the first end 111 and is electrically connected to the battery 160. In this way, the battery assembly 10 can be assembled into a whole so as to be conveniently disassembled and assembled with the housing 30. In addition, the components of the battery assembly 10 itself, such as the battery 160 and the housing 110, can also be conveniently disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the battery assembly 10 during the recycling process of the atomizer 1.

The first end 111 and the second end 112 are sleeved with a sealing ring 140. When the battery assembly 10 is installed in the housing 30, the sealing ring 140 is located in the gap between the housing 110 and the housing 30, and the sealing ring 140 is interference-fitted with the gap. Such an arrangement enables the battery assembly 10 to be installed in the housing 30 more stably, reduces the axial movement of the housing 30, and increases the stability of the installation.

Furthermore, an abutment pad 113b is convexly provided on the outer side surface of the accommodating portion 113 for abutting against the inner wall of the housing 30, and a plurality of abutment pads 113b are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the accommodating portion 113. Such an arrangement enables the housing 110 to abut against the housing 30 stably, reduces the shaking of the battery assembly 10 after installation, and further increases the stability of the installation.

The second end 112 is provided with an air inlet channel 112a, which connects the accommodating chamber 113a with the outside, and the first end 111 is provided with an air outlet channel 111a (see FIG. 3 ), which connects the accommodating chamber 113a with the accommodating gap 40. The second end 112 is partially arranged beyond the outer shell 30, so that the air inlet channel 112a can be connected with the outside. When the battery assembly 10 is installed in the outer shell 30, the accommodating chamber 113a and the outer shell 30 can form a channel, and the air inlet channel 112a and the air outlet channel 111a can be connected with the channel. With this arrangement, external gas can enter the accommodating gap 40 through the air inlet channel 112a, the accommodating chamber 113a and the air outlet channel 111a in sequence.

Furthermore, the contact portion 22 is provided with an airflow channel that connects the accommodating gap 40 with the airway 213 of the main body 21. In this way, external gas can flow into the atomizer assembly 20 through the battery assembly 10 and be discharged from the air outlet 251 carrying the aerosol atomized by the atomizer assembly 20.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 , the side of the contact portion 22 close to the first end portion 111 has an air inlet 221 connected to the air flow channel. The side of the first end portion 111 close to the contact portion 22 is provided with an air outlet 111b connected to the air outlet channel 111a, and the air inlet 221 and the air outlet 111b are arranged in a staggered manner. In this arrangement, the air outlet 111b and the air inlet 221 are indirectly connected through the accommodating gap 40 instead of being directly aligned, so that the liquid generated due to the incomplete atomization of the atomized matrix and condensation, etc. cannot flow directly from the air flow channel to the air outlet channel 111a, so as to reduce the problem of liquid infiltration into the electronic components in the battery assembly 10 causing failures.

Furthermore, the side of the first end portion 111 close to the contact portion 22 is directed toward a direction away from the contact portion 22. A liquid storage groove 111c is provided in the depression. The liquid storage groove 111c can store a certain amount of liquid, thereby further reducing the possibility of liquid entering the battery assembly 10. For the disposable atomizer 1, the amount of the above liquid produced is not too much, and the liquid storage groove 111c does not need to be specially cleaned during the user's use. In this way, the liquid storage groove 111c can conveniently and effectively reduce the influence of the above condensed liquid on the atomizer 1 during its disposable use cycle. When the atomizer 1 is recycled, the structure in this embodiment can also facilitate cleaning and recycling.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the first circuit board 131 is disposed between the first end 111 and the battery 160, and the second circuit board 132 is disposed between the second end 112 and the battery 160. The first circuit board 131 is provided with a first connecting hole 131a connecting the air outlet channel 111a and the accommodating chamber 113a, and the second circuit board 132 is provided with a second connecting hole 132a connecting the air inlet channel 112a and the accommodating chamber 113a. The first circuit board 131 and the second circuit board 132 are electrically connected to the positive electrode or the negative electrode of the battery 160 respectively, and the first circuit board 131 and the second circuit board 132 are electrically connected, and one end of the ejector pin 120 close to the battery 160 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 131. The arrangement of the first circuit board 131 and the second circuit board 132 can electrically conduct the two poles of the battery 160 to the same circuit board, so that the ejector pin 120 can be indirectly connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery 160 by being connected to the first circuit board 131. Optionally, the battery 160 in the battery assembly 10 is a rechargeable battery 160, and a rechargeable unit can be provided on the first circuit board 131 and the second circuit board 132. When the manufacturer recycles the atomizer 1, the battery assembly 10 can be effectively reused by disassembling and charging the battery assembly 10, thereby reducing the cumbersome recycling process such as disassembling the battery assembly 10.

Referring to FIG. 9 , based on the above description, the structure of the ejector pin 120 is exemplarily introduced. The ejector pin 120 includes a mounting portion 123, a terminal portion 121, and a plug-in portion 122. The mounting portion 123 is arranged through the housing 110, the terminal portion 121 is located at one end of the mounting portion 123 close to the contact portion 22, and the plug-in portion 122 is located at one end of the mounting portion 123 close to the battery 160, and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 131.

Further, the mounting portion 123 includes a penetration portion 123b and an embedding portion 123a connected to each other, and the embedding portion 123a is embedded in a side of the housing 110 close to the contact portion 22 and connected to the terminal portion 121. The penetration portion 123b is penetrated in the housing 110 and connected to the plug portion 122. Such an arrangement can increase the stability of the installation of the ejector pin 120 and reduce its axial movement. Optionally, the terminal portion 121 is movably arranged on the mounting portion 123. The terminal portion 121 can be movably arranged on the mounting portion 123 by an elastic member, so that the pressure when the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 abut can be increased to increase the stability of the electrical connection.

In summary, the atomizer assembly 20 can store the atomizer matrix and can atomize the atomizer matrix into an aerosol. The battery assembly 10 can store electrical energy, and after being electrically connected to the atomizer assembly 20, it can provide the atomizer assembly 20 with the energy required for performing functions such as atomization. The housing 30 can be installed for the atomizer assembly 20 and the battery assembly 10. The electrode 23 provided in the contact portion 22 of the atomizer assembly 20 is used to abut against the ejector pin 120 provided in the housing 110 of the battery assembly 10 to electrically connect the battery assembly 10 and the atomizer assembly 20. The battery assembly 10 is provided with at least three ejector pins 120, so that at least one electrode 23 can be provided corresponding to at least two ejector pins 120, so that the abutment between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 can be achieved by more than one ejector pin 120, which can increase the fault tolerance of the electrical connection between the electrode 23 and the ejector pin 120 during assembly, facilitate the assembly of the atomizer 1, and thus improve the assembly efficiency of the atomizer 1.

Please refer to Figures 15 and 16. Figure 15 is an exploded schematic diagram of the power supply module in the embodiment shown in Figure 12 of the present application; Figure 16 is an exploded schematic diagram of the power supply module in another perspective of the embodiment shown in Figure 12 of the present application. In one embodiment, a first groove 2030f is provided on the side of the solution board 203f away from the atomization module 30f. The surface of the first groove 2030f can also be plated, that is, a conductive film layer is provided in the first groove 2030f to make the conductive effect of the solution board 203f better. One end of the battery 202f is inserted into the first groove 2030f. The number of the first grooves 2030f can be one or more. In the present embodiment, the number of the first grooves 2030f is two. One side of the bipolar ear of the battery 202f is arranged toward the atomization module 30f, that is, the bipolar ear of the battery 202f can be inserted in two first grooves 2030f to electrically connect the battery 202f to the solution board 203f. In this way, the battery 202f and the solution board 203f can be connected together without a wire.

In another embodiment, the first groove 2030f can be omitted. That is, two conductive film layers can be directly arranged on the side of the solution board 203f away from the atomization module 30f, and the bipolar tabs of the battery 202f can be in contact with the conductive film layers to achieve the purpose of connecting the battery 202f and the solution board 203f.

An electrode ejector 205f may also be provided on one side of the support frame 201f close to the atomization module 30f. A second groove 2031f may be provided on one side of the solution plate 203f close to the atomization module 30f. The surface of the second groove 2031f may also be subjected to a coating treatment, that is, a conductive film layer is provided in the second groove 2031f to make the conductive effect of the solution plate 203f better. The number of the second grooves 2031f may be one or more. In the present embodiment, the number of the second grooves 2031f is two. One end of the electrode ejector 205f is inserted into the second groove 2031f. The number of the electrode ejector 205f may be one or more. In the present embodiment, the number of the electrode ejector 205f is two. The electrode ejector 205f is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the second groove 2031f.

It can be understood that after the solution board 203f is electrically connected to the battery 202f, the solution board 203f is connected to the atomization module 30f, so an electrode ejector 205f is provided. One end of the electrode ejector 205f is electrically connected to one of the second grooves 2031f of the solution board 203f, and the other end of the electrode ejector 205f is electrically connected to the atomization module 30f, so that the battery 202f and the atomization module 30f can be electrically connected through the solution board 203f and the electrode ejector 205f, so that the battery 202f can supply power to the atomization module 30f.

In another embodiment, the second groove 2031f can be omitted. That is, two conductive film layers can be directly disposed on the side of the solution plate 203f close to the atomization module 30f, and the electrode ejector 205f can be connected to the solution plate 203f by contacting the conductive film layer.

When the battery 202f runs out of power, the electrode pin 205f can also be connected to a charger, that is, the electrode pin 205f can be connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the charger respectively, and the power provided by the charger can charge the battery 202f.

The side of the support frame 201f close to the atomization module 30f may be provided with a first through hole 206f. There is a gap between the solution plate 203f and the support frame 201f to facilitate airflow to enter the first through hole 206f.

It is understandable that when the outside air enters the support frame 201f through the air inlet 2011f, there is a gap between the battery 202f and the shell 10f, so the air will continue to flow through the gap between the battery 202f and the shell 10f. Since the support frame 201f and the shell 10f are in close contact, it is necessary to open a first through hole 206f on the support frame 201f so that air can flow to the atomization module 30f through the first through hole 206f. There is a certain distance between the solution plate 203f and the first through hole 206f of the support frame 201f to ensure that the airflow can smoothly flow into the first through hole 206f from the gap between the solution plate 203f and the support frame 201f.

In another embodiment, the plate 203f may be provided with an air hole (not shown), and the air hole corresponds to the first through hole 206f. The air flow may flow to the first through hole 206f through the air hole on the plate 203f, making the air flow smoother.
