Description

FIELD

BACKGROUND

Currently, the atomizers made of porous material in the market are usually ceramic atomizers, including a cylindrical ceramic atomizer and a square flat ceramic atomizer. Wherein, the cylindrical ceramic atomizer is in linear communication with the inlet and outlet air holes in a straight line, and the moisture contained in the smoke atomized by the cylindrical ceramic atomizer will be directly inhaled into the user's mouth, making the user experience poor. Besides, the cylindrical ceramic atomizer has a small application range and s single application scene. Moreover, due to that a wrapping cotton is needed, the wrapping cotton is slow in production speed and unstable in quality during the assembly process. While in the square flat atomizer, the heating wire can only be heated outside or at the bottom of the atomizer due to the limitation of the production process of the heating wire, and due to the limitation of the process, the resistance deviation of the heating wire is too large, and the quality of the finished product is unstable, which easily leads to an uneven heating, a core burning, an open circuit without resistance, and other phenomena.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For better understanding of the technical features, objects and effects of the present invention, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention provides an atomizer of an electronic cigarette and an atomizing assembly thereof, configured to heat an e-liquid to generate smoke, so that the purpose of simulating a real smoke can be achieved through the user's suction. Specifically, the atomizing assembly provided in the present invention may include an atomizing body 10 made of a porous liquid conducting material, which may be specifically made of a porous ceramic material or other porous material, and can fully adsorb and store the e-liquid. Specifically, the atomizing body 10 is in a shape of a cube or a flat shape similar to a cube, and its interior includes an air passage 11 and a liquid inlet groove 12. Wherein, when the user inhales, the air passage 11 is used as a flow passage for the airflow; the liquid inlet groove 12 is spaced disposed with the air passage 11, and is used store the e-liquid and to supply the e-liquid to the atomizing body 10 in real time when the user is inhaling. The atomizing assembly in the present invention further includes a heating member 20 configured to heat the e-liquid to generate smoke. With the user's suction, the smoke generated by heating and atomizing the e-liquid flows along the air passage 11, and then enters the user's mouth, so as to achieve the purpose of simulating the real smoke suction.

The air passage 11 of the atomizing assembly provided in the present invention is non-linear shaped, and may include, referring to FIG. 4, a first passage 111 and one or more second airways 112. The first passage 111 and the second passage 112 are communicated with each other. Wherein, the first passage 111 is usually disposed in the center of the atomizing body 10, and is communicated with the bottom surface of the atomizing body 10, so that the airflow enters the atomizing body 10 through the first passage 111. The heating member 20 is fixedly disposed in the first passage 111 to form an atomizing area in the first passage 111, which is used to heat and atomize the e-liquid to generate smoke. In some embodiments, a first included angle is formed between the first passage 111 and the second passage 112, and the first included angle is larger than 0° and less than 180° in some embodiments. That is, the second passage 112 extends from the first passage 111 in the center of the atomizing body 10 to a lateral side in a horizontal direction or a slightly inclined angle, so that when the user sucks, the airflow enters the second passage 112, which is inclined to the first passage 111, through the first passage 111. When passing through the second passage 112, the incompletely atomized e-liquid brought in the airflow and the condensed liquid will fall back and contact the side wall of the air passage 11 under the action of gravity, and will be recycled by the porous liquid adsorbing material again for secondary atomizing, thereby ensuring that the smoke inhaled by the user is dry. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure that the second passage 112 can fully recover the incompletely atomized e-liquid and the condensed liquid, the first included angle is preferably 90°, that is, the second passage 112 is perpendicular to the first passage 111.

In the present invention, the liquid inlet groove 12 is arranged in the atomizing body 10 and communicated with the surface of the atomizing body 10. Further, referring to FIG. 1, the interior of the atomizing body 10 may include a plurality of liquid inlet grooves 12, which may be symmetrically arranged with respect to the first passage 111, so that the plurality of liquid inlet grooves 12 are equidistant from the first passage 111 to ensure that the e-liquid in each liquid inlet groove 12 enters the atomizing area at an equal speed, and avoid an uneven heating. In the present invention, the liquid inlet groove 12 may be communicated with the lateral side surface or the top surface of the atomizing body 10, that is, the atomizing assembly provided in the present invention may be a lateral side surface liquid inlet structure or a top surface liquid inlet structure, which is not limited herein. In the present invention, preferably, two liquid inlet grooves 12 and two second airways 112 are provided, and are symmetrically arranged in the atomizing body 10 respectively. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the surface of each liquid inlet groove 12 that is communicated with the atomizing body 10 forms a liquid inlet 121, the surface of each second passage 112 that is communicated with the atomizing body 10 forms an air outlet 113, and the connecting line between the two liquid inlets 121 and the connecting line between the two air outlets 113 are preferably perpendicular to each other, and arranged in a cross pattern.

Further, the heating member 20 specifically includes a heating element 21 and a pin 22 electrically connected with the heating element 21. The heating element 21 may be a spiral or cylindrical heating wire, a cylindrical heating metal tube, or a planar heating sheet, which is not limited herein. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the heating element 21 is a heating wire or a heating metal tube, and may be embedded on the inner wall of the first passage 111, to form an atomizing area in the first passage 111 by heating the air in the first passage 111. Referring to FIG. 2, the heating element 21 is a planar heating plate, and is embedded in the atomizing body 10, to heat the e-liquid in the atomizing body 10. The number of the pins 22 may be two, which are respectively fixedly connected with the heating element 21 and extend from the first passage 111 to the outside of the atomizing body 10. Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the pin 22 is a linear pin, and one end of the pin 22 extends beyond the atomizing body 10. Furthermore, the pin 22 may be disposed perpendicular to the bottom surface of the atomizing body 10. In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, each pin 22 includes a bending portion 221. By the bending portion 221 of the extending downward pin 22, the portion of the pin 22 extending out of the atomizing body 10 is parallel to the bottom surface of the atomizing body 10, and is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the atomizing body 10, to save space and adapt to the assembly structures of different atomizers. Specifically, the bending portion 221 may be a right angle structure in some embodiments. In the present invention, the heating member 20 may be processed separately, then the processed heating member 20 is sintered and fixed with the atomizing body 10, so as to ensure the stable quality of the heating member 20, and prevent the atomizing assembly from heating unevenly and a core burning.
