The present invention relates to the field of aerosol generation technologies, and in particular to an adjustable aerosol generation apparatus.
It has become a common understanding that smoking is harmful to health. As people attach greater importance to health, an aerosol generation apparatus that can suck aerosol of cigarettes and replaces the cigarettes emerges, which is widely applied. An existing aerosol generation apparatus usually includes a housing, a liquid reservoir, an atomization core, a battery, an air flow sensor, and a controller. A top part of the housing is connected to a suction nozzle, a bottom part of the housing is provided with an air intake hole, the liquid reservoir is located in the housing, a liquid adsorbing cotton tube for adsorbing to-be-atomized liquid is inserted into the liquid reservoir. An atomization cavity is formed in the liquid adsorbing cotton tube, the atomization cavity is connected to the air intake hole and the suction nozzle. The atomization core is located in the atomization cavity and connected to the suction nozzle and the air intake hole. The air flow sensor is located at a bottom of the housing, and is configured to detect whether a user sucks.
However, a size of an air intake hole of an existing aerosol generation apparatus is set and cannot be adjusted. In actual use, if the air intake hole is set to be small, the user can easily feel breathless. If the air intake hole is large, it is difficult to trigger the air flow sensor to enable the aerosol generation apparatus to be started. Therefore, to resolve the foregoing technical problem, a person skilled in the art sets an air adjusting structure on a side surface of the housing, and adjusts an air intake volume of an electronic cigarette by using the air adjusting structure. However, in use, a hand needs to hold a housing of the aerosol generation apparatus and easily touches the air adjusting structure, resulting in an unstable air intake volume.
The present invention is intended to provide an adjustable aerosol generation apparatus with a stable air intake volume.
A solution for resolving the foregoing problem in the present invention is as follows. An adjustable aerosol generation apparatus is constructed. The adjustable aerosol generation apparatus includes a suction nozzle, a housing, a liquid storage member, an atomization core, a sealing base, an adjusting member, and a controller. The suction nozzle is connected to the housing, and a receiving cavity and an air intake hole are disposed in the housing. The liquid storage member is located in the receiving cavity and is configured to store to-be-atomized liquid. The atomization core is located in the liquid storage member and is configured to atomize the to-be-atomized liquid. The sealing base covers an end face, opposite to the suction nozzle, of an end of the liquid storage member, and the sealing base is provided with an air guide hole connected to the atomization core and the air intake hole. The adjusting member is movably disposed on a side, opposite to the liquid storage member, of the sealing base and is configured to adjust an air intake volume of the air guide hole; and the controller is electrically connected to the atomization core.
A beneficial effect of the present invention is as follows. According to the present invention, the sealing base covers the end face, opposite to the suction nozzle, of the liquid storage member, the sealing base is provided with the air guide hole connected to the atomization core and the air intake hole, and the adjusting member is movably disposed on the side, opposite to the liquid storage member, of the sealing base, and is configured to adjust an air intake volume of the air guide hole. Therefore, when air needs to be adjusted, only the adjusting member needs to be pushed at the bottom of the aerosol generation apparatus. Because a limb of the user does not touch the bottom of the aerosol generation apparatus during use, the air intake volume is stable.
The following describes the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The suction nozzle 2 is connected to the housing 1. The suction nozzle 2 includes a suction part 21 and a sealing cover part 22. A first end of the suction part 21 is located outside the housing 1. A second end of the suction part 21 extends into the receiving cavity 11 by using the connection hole 12. A smoke outlet hole 211 is disposed in the suction part 21, and smoke formed by atomization of the atomization core 4 is discharged from the smoke outlet hole 211. The sealing cover part 22 is located in the receiving cavity 11 and is connected to the second end of the suction part 21, and an upper surface of the sealing cover part 22 abuts against the housing 1.
The sealing cover part 22 extends toward the elastic sealing top base 5, to form a sealing wall part 23, a positioning wall part 24, a first clamping wall part 25, a second clamping wall part 26, a third clamping wall part 27, and a fourth clamping wall part 28. The first clamping wall part 25 and the second clamping wall part 26 are disposed at an interval at one end of the sealing cover part 22. The positioning wall part 24, the third clamping wall part 27, and the fourth clamping wall part 28 are located at the other end of the sealing cover part 22. The positioning wall part 24 is located between the third clamping wall part 27 and the fourth clamping wall part 28. The sealing wall part 23 is annular, and a smoke inlet orifice of the smoke outlet hole 211 is located space formed by the sealing wall part 23. Therefore, air leakage is avoided well, and sensitivity of inhaling is improved.

First pressure relief space 34 is formed between the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. The first pressure relief space 34 is connected to the suction nozzle 2 and the air intake hole 16. Specifically, the first pressure relief space 34 is connected to the smoke outlet hole 211 of the suction nozzle 2. Therefore, when the present invention is in an environment in which internal and external air pressures of an aircraft are low, air in the first pressure relief space 34 may be released by the suction nozzle, to avoid leakage of to-be-atomized liquid in the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33, and avoid liquid leakage. In addition, more to-be-atomized liquid may be injected into the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 without worrying about leakage. This may increase an amount of stored liquid stored.
A first end of the first pressure relief space 34 extends into an end face of a first end of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32, and a second end of the first pressure relief space 34 extends into an end face of a second end of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32. Therefore, in a negative pressure environment, air in the upper end and the lower end of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33 may respectively flow toward the upper end and the lower end, to discharge from the suction nozzle 2 and the air intake hole 16, reducing a probability of leakage of the to-be-atomized liquid.
In this embodiment, a first groove 322 extending longitudinally along the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 is disposed on a cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 321. The first groove 322 is connected to end faces of two ends of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32. The first pressure relief space 34 is formed between a groove wall of the first groove 322 and an outer wall of the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. Preferably, a second groove 332 extending longitudinally along the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33 is disposed on an outer wall of the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. The second groove 332 is connected to end faces of two ends of the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. The second groove 332 is corresponding to a position of the first groove 322. Therefore, the first pressure relief space 34 is relatively smooth, and is not easily blocked by elastic deformation of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33.
The first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 is provided with a first notch 323 connected to the accommodating cavity 321. The first notch 323 is connected to an outer peripheral surface of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the first pressure relief space 34. Therefore, when an external air pressure is low, air in the first pressure relief space 34 may be discharged is more easily, and a probability of leakage of the to-be-atomized liquid is further reduced. Preferably, the first notch 323 extends to end faces of two ends of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32, so that the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33 is easily loaded into the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32. More preferably, second pressure relief space 35 is formed between the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the accommodating tube 31. The second pressure relief space 35 extends to end faces of two ends of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and is connected to the first notch 323. Therefore, it is more advantageous to discharge air when the external air pressure is low, to avoid leakage of the to-be-atomized liquid.

To adsorb more to-be-atomized liquid and supply liquid to the atomization core 4 timely, a porosity of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 is less than a porosity of the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. A cross-sectional area of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 is greater than a cross-sectional area of the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. A volume of the first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 is greater than a volume of the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33. The first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 is configured to adsorb a large amount of to-be-atomized liquid. The second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33 adsorbs a small amount of to-be-atomized liquid. Therefore, dry burning can be avoided, liquid leakage can be avoided, and liquid storage can be increased. The first porous liquid adsorbing tube 32 and the second porous liquid adsorbing tube 33 may be made of fiber, a foam material, or the like, as long as the porous liquid adsorbing tube can adsorb the to-be-atomized liquid. A structure of the porous liquid adsorbing tube is not specifically limited herein.

A lower surface of the sealing cover part 22 abuts against the elastic sealing top base 5 and seals an upper surface of the elastic sealing top base 5. Therefore, sealing of the sensing airway is improved. The sealing groove 56 is disposed around the sensing airway. A sealing wall part 23 is inserted in the sealing groove 56 and is disposed around the sensing airway. Therefore, sealing is better, air leakage is better avoided, and sensitivity of suction is further improved.
A positioning groove 571 is further disposed at the first end of the elastic sealing top base 5.

A sliding groove 73 is disposed on one side, opposite to the liquid storage member 3, of the sealing base 7. The air guide hole 71 is disposed in a groove wall of the sliding groove 73. A top wall of the sliding groove 73 is a bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 72, and the air guide hole 71 is located in the groove wall. The adjusting member 81 is movably disposed on a side, opposite to the liquid storage member 3, of the sealing base 7, and is configured to adjust an air intake volume of the air guide hole 71. The adjusting member 81 includes an adjusting sheet 811 and a push/pull protrusion 812. The adjusting sheet 811 is located in the sliding groove 73, and movably covers an orifice of the air guide hole 71. The adjusting sheet 811 can slide along an extension direction of the sliding groove 73 under an action of an external force, to change an air intake area of the orifice of the air guide hole 71.
A first adjusting hole 813 and a second adjusting hole 814 are disposed in the adjusting sheet 811. In a first state, the first adjusting hole 813 is connected to the air guide hole 71, and the second adjusting hole 814 is staggered from the air guide hole 71. In a second state, the first adjusting hole 813 is staggered from the air guide hole 71, and the second adjusting hole 814 is connected to the air guide hole 71. A cross-sectional area of the second adjusting hole 814 is less than a cross-sectional area of the first adjusting hole 813. Therefore, for a user with a small vital capacity, only the present invention needs to be disposed in the second state, so that the second adjusting hole 814 is aligned with and connected to the air guide hole 71, which is easy for the user to use.
The push/pull protrusion 812 is connected to the adjusting sheet 811 and extends into the air intake hole 16. When an air intake volume needs to be adjusted, the air intake volume is changed by pushing the push/pull protrusion 812 to make guide movement along the air intake hole 16, to change an overlapping area between the first adjusting hole 813 and the air guide hole 71. Guided by the air intake hole 16, precise air adjustment can be performed. A length, extending into the air intake hole 16, of the push/pull protrusion 812 is not greater than a depth of the air intake hole 16. Therefore, the adjusting member 81 is preferably prevented from being touched by an external object, and stability of an air intake volume is improved. In addition, an avoidance groove 17 is disposed at an air intake orifice of the air intake hole 16, to help a user's finger to push the push/pull protrusion 812.
