Priority is claimed to Chinese Patent Application No. 202221723101.8, filed on Jul. 6, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The utility model relates to the field of electronic vaporization technologies, and in particular, to a vaporization assembly, a vaporizer and an electronic vaporization device.
During production of a vaporizer, it is required to first inject a liquid, and then mount a mouthpiece assembly. After liquid injection is completed and before the mouthpiece assembly is mounted, e-liquid inside the vaporizer may seep through a heating assembly inside the vaporizer under the effect of atmospheric pressure and gravity, and may continue to seep through the bottom via a heating assembly, which causes liquid seepage. Meanwhile, during the mounting of the mouthpiece assembly, e-liquid is more likely to seep and leak under the squeezing action of the mouthpiece assembly, which causes waste of e-liquid and affects the functional performance of the vaporizer.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a vaporization assembly, comprising: a ferrule body having an inner cavity; a vaporization body adapted into the inner cavity and provided with a liquid inlet hole; and a blocking portion protruding from a cavity wall of the inner cavity and arranged to surround a periphery of the vaporization body, the blocking portion being provided with at least one liquid-through clearance, wherein the ferrule body is movable in a preset direction relative to the vaporization body and comprises a pre-loading position and a conduction position, wherein, when the ferrule body is located at the pre-loading position, the blocking portion partitions the inner cavity into a liquid storage cavity and a mounting cavity in the preset direction, and the liquid inlet hole is located in the mounting cavity and isolated from the liquid storage cavity, and wherein, during a movement of the ferrule body from the pre-loading position to the conduction position, a volume of the mounting cavity is reduced so as to squeeze liquid in the mounting cavity to flow back into the liquid storage cavity via the at least one liquid-through clearance.
Subject matter of the present disclosure will be described in even greater detail below based on the exemplary figures. 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:
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a vaporization assembly, a vaporizer and an electronic vaporization device, so as to solve the problem of seepage and leakage of e-liquid.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a vaporization assembly including:
In some embodiments, the liquid-through clearance is arranged at one end of the blocking portion in contact with the vaporization body.
In some embodiments, at least two liquid-through clearances are provided and are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the blocking portion.
In some embodiments, the area of the liquid-through clearance ranges from 0.1 square millimeter to 0.5 square millimeter. In some embodiments, the liquid-through clearance is configured to be a notch formed by recessing an edge of the blocking portion in contact with the vaporization body in a direction away from the vaporization body.
In some embodiments, the vaporization body includes a vaporization base, the surface of the vaporization base protrudes to form a limiting flange, and the ferrule body abuts against the limiting flange in a limiting manner when moving from the pre-loading position to the conduction position.
In some embodiments, the ferrule body moves between the pre-loading position and the conduction position relative to the vaporization body along its own axis.
According to a second aspect, this application provides a vaporizer including a vaporization assembly and a mouthpiece assembly, where the vaporization assembly is described above, and the mouthpiece assembly is movably adapted onto the ferrule body.
In some embodiments, the mouthpiece assembly is separated from the ferrule body when the ferrule body is located at the pre-loading position, and presses the ferrule body in the preset direction when assembled on the ferrule body to provide a downward pressure for the ferrule body to move from the pre-loading position to the conduction position.
According to a third aspect, this application provides an electronic vaporization device including a power supply assembly and the foregoing vaporizer, where the power supply assembly is electrically connected to the vaporizer.
Regarding the vaporization assembly, the vaporizer and the electronic vaporization device, when the ferrule body is located at the pre-loading position, the liquid inlet hole is located in the mounting cavity, and in this way, the liquid inlet hole and the liquid storage cavity are isolated by the blocking portion, thereby reducing the probability that the liquid in the liquid storage cavity enters the vaporization body via the liquid injection hole. In this way, a certain clearance is formed between the cavity wall of the mounting cavity and the liquid inlet hole, and the liquid in the liquid storage cavity may seep into the above clearance by other means, such as a joint clearance between structures. Therefore, when the ferrule body moves from the pre-loading position to the conduction position, the clearance between the cavity wall of the mounting cavity and the liquid inlet hole is filled by the vaporization body. During this process, the volume of the mounting cavity decreases continuously, and the liquid seeping into the mounting cavity can flow back into the liquid storage cavity via the liquid-through clearance on the blocking portion under the squeezing action. In this way, it can not only make fuller use of the liquid, but also prevent the situation that liquid seeping into the mounting cavity enters the vaporization body under the squeezing action and is inhaled by the human body.

When the ferrule body 11 moves from the pre-loading position to the conduction position, the volume of the mounting cavity 1112 is reduced, and the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 is squeezed to flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 via the liquid-through clearance 131.
It should be noted that, the vaporization body 12 may heat and vaporize e-liquid. The ferrule body 11 is sleeved outside the vaporization body 12 to protect the vaporization body 12. In addition, the inner cavity 111 of the ferrule body 11 can be used to store e-liquid and assemble the vaporization body 12.
Besides, when the vaporization assembly 10 is in actual use, the liquid injected into the liquid storage cavity 1111 is e-liquid or nicotine liquid, so the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 is the same as the e-liquid or nicotine liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111.
Specifically, the blocking portion 13 protrudes from and is arranged to surround the cavity wall of the inner cavity 111. Therefore, the blocking portion 13 partitions the inner cavity 111 into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. When the vaporization body 12 is adapted into the inner cavity 111, one end of the blocking portion 13 away from the cavity wall of the inner cavity 111 is in tight fit with the vaporization body 12, so that the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are independent of each other. In addition, the ferrule body 11 can move in a preset direction a relative to the vaporization body 12 under the action of an external force. During the relative movement between the ferrule body 11 and the vaporization body 12, the amount of extension of the vaporization body 12 into the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity continuously changes.
During the movement of the ferrule body 11 relative to the vaporization body 12, it has a pre-loading position and a conduction position. When the ferrule body is at the pre-loading position, the foregoing first sub-cavity is the liquid storage cavity 1111, and the second sub-cavity is the mounting cavity 1112. Besides, the liquid inlet hole 121 of the vaporization body 12 is located in the mounting cavity 1112, and thus isolated from the liquid storage cavity 1111. In this way, liquid can be injected into the liquid storage cavity 1111. Since the liquid inlet hole 121 is isolated from the liquid storage cavity 1111, the probability that the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111 flows into the vaporization body 12 via the liquid inlet hole 121 can be greatly reduced.
However, it can be understood that liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111 is likely to slowly seep into the mounting cavity 1112 due to the presence of mechanical errors in actual production, such as the fit clearance between the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12, or the structural clearance of the vaporization body 12 itself.
After liquid injection is completed, the ferrule body 11 can move from the pre-loading position to the conduction position under the action of external force, that is, the amount of extension of the vaporization body 12 into the liquid storage cavity 1111 gradually increases. In this way, the vaporization body 12 continues to fill the mounting cavity 1112, causing the volume of the mounting cavity 1112 to gradually reduce. At the same time, the liquid inlet hole 121 follows the vaporization body 12 to move from the mounting cavity 1112 to the liquid storage cavity 1111, and comes into contact with the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111.
In the foregoing process, the volume of the mounting cavity 1112 is continuously reduced, which squeezes the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 to flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 via the liquid-through clearance 131 on the blocking portion 13. On the one hand, the liquid can be fully utilized. On the other hand, it may avoid the situation that the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 is squeezed into the vaporization body 12 during the reduction of the volume of the mounting cavity 1112, and inhaled by the human body during subsequent use.
Further, the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12 may be in an interference fit or a clearance fit. When the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12 are in an interference fit, the airtightness between the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12 can be ensured. However, when the vaporization assembly 10 is in actual use, the liquid injected into the liquid storage cavity 1111 is e-liquid or nicotine liquid, that is, the liquid itself has a higher viscosity. In view of this factor, clearance fit can also be adopted between the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12, and the liquid inlet hole 121 and the liquid storage cavity 1111 can be isolated simply by defining the size of the clearance. For example, the fit clearance between the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12 may be set to 0.01 mm to 0.1 mm. When the fit clearance is within this range, the liquid cannot flow into the mounting cavity 1112 through the clearance due to its own viscosity, thereby also achieving isolation between the liquid inlet hole 121 and the liquid storage cavity 1111.
Besides, in actual use, the way of clearance fit is more beneficial to assembly and therefore, the fitting relationship between the blocking portion 13 and the vaporization body 12 can be set according to the actual circumstance, which will not be repeated herein.
In some embodiments, the liquid-through clearance 131 is arranged at one end of the blocking portion 13 in contact with the vaporization body 12. Therefore, when the ferrule body 11 moves from the pre-loading position to the conduction position, the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 can flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 via the liquid-through clearance 131 along the circumferential wall of the vaporization body 12, so that the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 can flow back more thoroughly.
In some embodiments, at least two liquid-through clearances 131 are provided and are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the blocking portion 13. The at least two liquid-through clearances 131 arranged uniformly in the circumferential direction of the blocking portion 13 can expand the back flow path and the back flow range for the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 to flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111, so that the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 flows back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 more thoroughly.
Specifically, four liquid-through clearances 131 may be provided and are all uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the blocking portion 13. Therefore, the four liquid-through clearances 131 can provide a nearby path for the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 to flow back, so that the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 flows back faster. Certainly, in some other embodiments, the quantity of the liquid-through clearances 131 may also be adjusted correspondingly according to actual requirements, which will not be repeated herein.
In some embodiments, the area of the liquid-through clearance 131 ranges from 0.1 square millimeter to 0.5 square millimeter. When the vaporization assembly 10 is in actual use, the e-liquid or nicotine liquid itself has a certain viscosity. Therefore, by controlling the area of the liquid-through clearance 131 to be within a range of 0.1 square millimeter and 0.5 square millimeter, the e-liquid or nicotine liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111 is less likely to flow into the mounting cavity 1112 via the liquid-through clearance 131 under atmospheric pressure and gravity, but can flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 via the liquid-through clearance 131 under the squeezing action caused by the reduced volume of the mounting cavity 1112, thereby achieving a better back flow effect.
In some embodiments, the liquid-through clearance 131 is configured to be a notch formed by recessing an edge of the blocking portion 13 in contact with the vaporization body 12 in the direction away from the vaporization body 12. In this way, the overall structure of the blocking portion 13 is made simpler. In addition, when the vaporization body 12 is adapted into the inner cavity 111, the outer peripheral wall of the vaporization body 12 is in contact with the blocking portion 13. Thereby, the notch recessed on the blocking portion 13 and the outer peripheral wall of the vaporization body 12 can enclose to form a channel for liquid to flow back. When the vaporization body 12 is separated from the inner cavity 111, the recessed notch can facilitate cleaning, thereby avoiding liquid residues in the liquid-through clearance 131.
Referring to
Specifically, the vaporization body 12 also includes a vaporization tube 123 which is arranged on the vaporization base 122, and adapted into the inner cavity 111 of the ferrule body 11. The vaporization tube 123 is internally provided with a liquid absorption assembly 1231 and a heating assembly 1232, where the liquid absorption assembly 1231 is arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet hole 121. When the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111 enters the vaporization tube 123 via the liquid inlet hole 121, the liquid is absorbed on the liquid absorption assembly 1231, then the liquid absorption assembly 1231 transfers the liquid to the heating assembly 1232, and the heating assembly 1232 heats and vaporizes the liquid so as to facilitate the subsequent inhalation of the vaporized liquid by the human body.
Specifically, the heating assembly 1232 usually includes a ceramic heating body, and the liquid absorption assembly 1231 includes a vaporization cotton sleeved outside the ceramic heating body and arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet hole 121. The vaporization cotton can absorb the liquid in the liquid inlet hole 121 and uniformly transfer the liquid to the ceramic heating body, so that the liquid is more evenly heated by the ceramic heating body.
Referring to
In some embodiments, the ferrule body 11 moves between the pre-loading position and the conduction position relative to the vaporization body 12 along its own axis.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the ferrule body 11 is sleeved outside the vaporization body 12 along its own axis, and is coaxial with the vaporization body 12. Thus, the ferrule body 11 can move between the pre-loading position and the conduction position along its own axis, thereby achieving smoother relative movement between the ferrule body 11 and the vaporization body 12.

In some embodiments, the mouthpiece assembly 20 is separated from the ferrule body 11 when the ferrule body 11 is located at the pre-loading position. The mouthpiece assembly 20, when assembled on the ferrule body 11, presses the ferrule body 11 in the preset direction a to provide a downward pressure for the ferrule body 11 to move from the pre-loading position to the conduction position.
As shown in
Meanwhile, under the downward pressure of the mouthpiece assembly 20, the volume of the mounting cavity 1112 is continuously reduced, which allows the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 to flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 via the liquid-through clearance 131. As shown in
Based on the same concept as the foregoing vaporizer 100, this application provides an electronic vaporization device including a power supply assembly and the vaporizer 100 described above. The power supply assembly is electrically connected with the vaporizer 100.
In actual use, the ferrule body 11 is located at the pre-loading position in the initial state, and this point, the mouthpiece assembly 20 is separated from the ferrule body 11 and the vaporization body 12. At the same time, the blocking portion 13 partitions the inner cavity 111 of the ferrule body 11 into a liquid storage cavity 1111 and a mounting cavity 1112 in the direction of relative movement between the ferrule body 11 and the vaporization body 12, and the vaporization body 12 successively passes through the mounting cavity 1112 and the liquid storage cavity 1111. The liquid inlet hole 121 in the vaporization body 12 is located in the mounting cavity 1112, and is isolated from the liquid storage cavity 1111.
In this way, liquid can be injected into the liquid storage cavity 1111. After liquid injection is completed, the mouthpiece assembly 20 is assembled on the ferrule body 11, and communicates with the vaporization body 12. During the assembly process of the mouthpiece assembly 20, the mouthpiece assembly 20 presses the ferrule body 11 in the preset direction a to enable the ferrule body 11 to move from the pre-loading position to the conduction position. In the meanwhile, under the downward pressure of the mouthpiece assembly 20, the volume of the mounting cavity 1112 is continuously reduced, which allows the liquid in the mounting cavity 1112 to flow back into the liquid storage cavity 1111 via the liquid-through clearance 131.
When the volume of the mounting cavity 1112 is reduced to zero, the ferrule body 11 abuts against the limiting flange 1221 on the surface of the vaporization base 122 in a limiting manner, so that the ferrule body 11 is located at the conduction position. In this way, the mouthpiece assembly 20 is assembled on the ferrule body 11, and communicates with the vaporization body 12. In addition, the liquid inlet hole 121 is located in the liquid storage cavity 1111, which allows the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1111 to flow into the vaporization body 12 via the liquid inlet hole 121. The liquid is heated and vaporized in the vaporization body 12, so that vaporized gas obtained after vaporization is conveniently inhaled by the human body via the mouthpiece assembly 20.
The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined. For brevity of description, not all possible combinations of all technical features in the above embodiments are described; however, provided that combinations of the technical features do not conflict with each other, they shall be considered as falling within the scope set forth in the present description.
