20230337745
This application relates to the technical field of electronic vaporization apparatus, and in particular, to an electronic vaporization apparatus, a vaporizer thereof, and a vaporization core thereof.
Generally, the existing electronic vaporization apparatus can vaporize vaporization liquid such as e-liquid. The electronic vaporization apparatus typically includes a vaporization core, which includes a liquid absorbing assembly and a heating assembly. The liquid absorbing assembly is in communication with a liquid storage space of the vaporization liquid, so that the vaporization liquid in the liquid storage space can seep out from the liquid absorbing assembly. The heating assembly is disposed on the side of the liquid absorbing assembly away from the liquid storage space of the vaporization liquid, so as to heat and vaporize the seeped vaporization liquid.
However, when the existing vaporization core heats and vaporizes high-viscosity vaporization liquid, since the high-viscosity vaporization liquid has poor fluidity, it may not replenish itself to the liquid absorbing assembly in time, which causes dry heating occurring in the vaporization core, thereby producing a burnt flavor and a peculiar flavor.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a vaporization core, comprising: a liquid absorbing assembly comprising a bottom wall and a side wall connected to a side of the bottom wall, the bottom wall comprising a vaporization surface facing away from the side wall; and a heating assembly fixedly disposed on the liquid absorbing assembly comprising a heat generating element and an electrode portion connected to the heat generating element, the heat generating element comprising a heat generating portion and a first embedding portion, wherein the heat generating portion and the electrode portion are disposed in the bottom wall and exposed to the vaporization surface, and the first embedding portion is embedded in the bottom wall and corresponds to the side wall.

All features described and/or illustrated herein can be used alone or combined in different combinations. The features and advantages of various embodiments will become apparent by reading the following detailed description with reference to the attached drawings, which illustrate the following:

This application has the following beneficial effects: This application provides an electronic vaporization apparatus, a vaporizer thereof, and a vaporization core thereof. By embedding the heating assembly in the liquid absorbing assembly, the heating assembly can be closely attached to the liquid absorbing assembly, thereby making the heat transfer of the heating assembly more uniform. In addition, by embedding the heating assembly in the liquid absorbing assembly, during the process of the vaporization liquid entering the liquid absorbing assembly from the side of the body portion away from the bottom wall and seeping out through the outer surface of the bottom wall, the heating assembly can preheat the vaporization liquid in the liquid absorbing assembly, so as to uniformly increase the temperature of the vaporization liquid, thereby improving the vaporization effect of the vaporization liquid.

In addition, it can also ensure that the liquid absorbing assembly can quickly and evenly raise the temperature. Therefore, the vaporization effect on the vaporization liquid is improved.

The vaporization core 20 includes the liquid absorbing assembly 200 and the heating assembly 100. The vaporization core 20 may be configured to heat vaporization liquid, so as to vaporize the vaporization liquid.
The liquid absorbing assembly 200 may be defined with or include a plurality of micro-pores therein, so as to form a porous body. The vaporization liquid may enter the liquid absorbing assembly 200 through the micro-pores, or may seep from one side of the liquid absorbing assembly 200 to the other side through the micro-pores. The plurality of micro-pores in the liquid absorbing assembly 200 may store the vaporization liquid. The heating assembly 100 is partially buried in the liquid absorbing assembly 200. The liquid absorbing assembly 200 includes a vaporization surface 201 and a liquid absorbing surface 202. The liquid absorbing surface 202 may be in contact with the vaporization liquid, so that the vaporization liquid enters the liquid absorbing assembly 200 through the liquid absorbing surface 202. The vaporization liquid in the liquid absorbing assembly 200 may be further transferred from the liquid absorbing surface 202 to the vaporization surface 201, so as to be heated and vaporized on the vaporization surface 201.
The liquid absorbing assembly 200 may be made of a porous ceramic material. Specifically, the liquid absorbing assembly 200 may be made of any one or more of alumina, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicate and silicon carbide.
Specifically, a powder material (or slurry) of a mixture of any one or more materials such as alumina, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicate and silicon carbide may be used to form the blank of the liquid absorbing body 200, and the heating assembly 100 is at least partially buried in the pre-blank. By heating and sintering, the liquid absorbing assembly 200 in which the heating assembly 100 is partially buried is formed, and the heating assembly 100 is closely attached to the liquid absorbing assembly 200.
The shape and the size of the liquid absorbing assembly 200 are not limited, which may be selected according to requirements.
In this embodiment, specifically, the liquid absorbing assembly 200 includes a bottom wall 210 and a side wall connected to a side of the bottom wall 210. The heating assembly 100 may be embedded in the liquid absorbing assembly 200, and the first embedding portions 1101 of the heating assembly 100 may be disposed corresponding to the side wall, so that the vaporization liquid close to the side wall can be preheated by the first embedding portions 1101.
The side wall may be an annular side wall 220. The annular side wall 220 may be connected to the side of the bottom wall 210, and a liquid storage groove 211 is surrounded by the side wall 220 and the bottom wall 210. The first embedding portions 1101 may pass through the bottom wall 210 and be partially inserted in the annular side wall 220.
The vaporization surface 201 may be disposed on the outer surface of the bottom wall 210, and the first embedding portions 1101 and the second embedding portions 1201 of the heating assembly 100 may be inserted into the liquid absorbing assembly 200 from the vaporization surface. Specifically, the plurality of first linear units 111 and the electrode bodies 121 of the heating assembly 100 are embedded in the bottom wall 210. The first embedding portions 1101 may pass through the bottom wall 210 and be partially inserted in the annular side wall 220. The second embedding portions 1201 are all accommodated in the bottom wall 210.
In this embodiment, by partially embedding the first embedding portions 1101 of the heating assembly 100 into the annular side wall 220, the vaporization liquid at the liquid absorbing surface 202 can be preheated. When the viscosity of the vaporization liquid is high, the vaporization liquid can be preheated, thereby improving its fluidity. As such, the vaporization liquid can quickly enter the liquid absorbing assembly 200 through the liquid absorbing surface 202, and the rate of the vaporization liquid in the liquid absorbing assembly 200 flowing to the vaporization surface 201 can be enhanced, so as to timely replenish the vaporization liquid to the vaporization surface 201, thereby avoiding the problem of dry heating of the vaporization core 100.
The outer surface of the bottom wall 210 facing away from the annular side wall 220 is the vaporization surface 201 of the liquid absorbing assembly 200. The vaporization liquid can be heated and vaporized at a position of the vaporization surface 201. The surface of the annular side wall 220 of the liquid absorbing assembly 200 away from the bottom wall 210 may be in contact with the vaporization liquid to form the liquid absorbing surface 202, so that the vaporization liquid can enter the liquid absorbing assembly 200 through the liquid absorbing surface, and seep out through the vaporization surface 201 the bottom wall 210. When the vaporization liquid seeps out through the vaporization surface 201, the part of the heating assembly 100 located outside the liquid absorbing assembly 200 can heat and vaporize the seeped vaporization liquid.
An opening of the liquid storage groove 211 is defined in the side of the annular side wall 220 facing away from the bottom wall 210, and the opening of the liquid storage groove 211 allows the vaporization liquid to enter the liquid storage groove 211. Therefore, the inner wall of the liquid storage groove 211 can form the liquid absorbing surface of the liquid absorbing assembly 200. By defining the liquid storage groove 211, the area of the liquid absorbing surface 202 can be increased, so that the contact area between the vaporization liquid and the liquid absorbing assembly 200 can be increased, thereby facilitating the vaporization liquid to seep into the liquid absorbing assembly 200.

The first embedding portions 1101 may be buried in the part of the side wall corresponding to the two opposite long edges of the annular side wall 220 respectively.
In this embodiment, by embedding the heating assembly 100 in the liquid absorbing assembly 200, the heating assembly 100 can be closely attached to the liquid absorbing assembly 200, thereby making the heat transfer of the heating assembly 100 more uniform. In addition, by embedding the heating assembly 100 in the liquid absorbing assembly 200, during the process of the vaporization liquid seeping from the liquid absorbing surface to the vaporization surface, the heating assembly 100 can preheat the vaporization liquid in the liquid absorbing assembly 200, so as to uniformly increase the temperature of the vaporization liquid, thereby improving the vaporization effect of the vaporization liquid. By inserting the first embedding portions 1101 of the heat generating element 110 into the annular side wall 220, the liquid to be vaporized in the liquid storage groove 211 can be preheated, thereby further improving the vaporization effect of the vaporization liquid.
In this embodiment, further, the heating assembly 100 is disposed to have the three-dimensional structure, thereby further improving the vaporization effect of the vaporization liquid.

In this embodiment, a protruding portion 212 is disposed on the inner surface of the bottom wall 210, and the protruding portion 212 may be connected to the annular side wall 220. The protruding portion 212 may be disposed parallel to the short edges of the annular side wall 220, and two opposite sides of the protruding portion 212 may be respectively connected to the part of the side wall corresponding to the two opposite long edges of the annular side wall 220. By providing the protruding portion 212, the protruding portion 212 can be immersed in the liquid to be vaporized in the liquid storage groove 211. The protruding portion 212 can transfer the heat of the annular side wall 220 and/or the bottom wall 210 to the liquid to be vaporized in the liquid storage groove 211 more quickly and uniformly, so as to preheat the liquid to be vaporized in the liquid storage groove 211, thereby further improving the vaporization effect of the vaporization liquid.
Optionally, at least two protruding portions 212 are disposed, and two adjacent protruding portions 212 may be spaced apart to form a V-shaped groove or an arc-shaped groove. Further reference may be made to
In this embodiment, the two electrode bodies 121 of the heating assembly 100 may respectively form the positive and negative electrodes of the heat generating element 110. The two electrode bodies 121 are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of an external power supply, so as to supply power to the heat generating element 210, thereby allowing the heat generating element 210 to generate heat.
A through groove 1202 may be defined in the second embedding portion 1201. When the second embedding portion 1201 is embedded in the blank of the liquid absorbing assembly 200, the powder or slurry forming the liquid absorbing assembly 200 may enter the through groove 1202. After the sintering and fixing of the blank of the liquid absorbing assembly 200 is completed, the stability of the combination of the heating assembly 100 and the liquid absorbing assembly 200 can be further enhanced.

The vaporization core 20 is connected to the end of the mounting base 320 away from the liquid storage cavity 312 and blocks the liquid inlet cavity 321, so that the vaporization sleeve 310, the mounting base 320, and the vaporization core 20 form a liquid storage space. After the vaporization liquid is stored in the liquid storage space, the vaporization liquid closes the first pressure regulating channel 322 by liquid seal.
When an outer atmospheric pressure changes or a balance between an atmospheric pressure in the liquid storage cavity 312 and the outer atmospheric pressure is lost due to inhalation, for example, when the atmospheric pressure in the liquid storage cavity 312 is excessively large, the vaporization liquid may leak between the mounting base 320 and an inner wall of the vaporization sleeve 310, or the vaporization liquid may leak from the vaporization core 20, or the vaporization liquid may leak from a joint between the vaporization core 20 and the mounting base 320. Alternatively, when the atmospheric pressure in the liquid storage cavity 312 is excessively low, due to the influence of atmospheric pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the liquid storage cavity 312, the vaporization liquid may not flow smoothly, and the vaporization core 20 may generate a burnt flavor during operation due to insufficient liquid supplying, leading to poor inhalation experience to the user.
Further, this application provides an electronic vaporization apparatus. Referring to
The electronic vaporization apparatus 40 includes a vaporizer 30 and a body assembly 410. The vaporizer 30 may be configured to store and vaporize the vaporization liquid, so as to form vapor that is configured to be inhaled by a user. The vaporizer 30 may be mounted on the body assembly 410. A power supply assembly is disposed in the body assembly 410. After the vaporizer 30 is mounted on the body assembly 410, the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply assembly in the body assembly 410 may be electrically connected to two electrode bodies 121, so as to form a power supply circuit, thereby supplying power to the heat generating element 110.
To sum up, this application has the following beneficial effects. By embedding the heating assembly in the liquid absorbing assembly, the heating assembly can be closely attached to the liquid absorbing assembly, thereby making the heat transfer of the heating assembly more uniform. In addition, by embedding the heating assembly in the liquid absorbing assembly, during the process of the vaporization liquid entering the liquid absorbing assembly from the side of the body portion away from the bottom wall and seeping out through the outer surface of the bottom wall, the heating assembly can preheat the vaporization liquid in the liquid absorbing assembly, so as to uniformly increase the temperature of the vaporization liquid, thereby improving the vaporization effect of the vaporization liquid. Further, by embedding the first embedding portions of the heating assembly in the annular side wall, the vaporization liquid at the liquid absorbing surface can be preheated. When the viscosity of the vaporization liquid is high, the vaporization liquid can be preheated, thereby improving its fluidity. As such, the vaporization liquid can quickly enter the liquid absorbing assembly through the liquid absorbing surface, and the rate of the vaporization liquid in the liquid absorbing assembly flowing to the vaporization surface can be enhanced, so as to timely replenish the vaporization liquid to the vaporization surface, thereby avoiding the problem of dry heating of the vaporization core.
