- 5A and 5B illustrate cross-sectional views of a cartridge according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- a blocking component 33 a may be disposed in the intake passage 31.
- the blocking component 33a may have a through hole 33h.
- the diameter of the through hole 33h is smaller than the diameter of the intake passage 31.
- the through hole 33h can be regarded as a part of the intake passage 31.
- the blocking member 33a may have a thickness of 33L.
- the thickness 33L of the blocking member 33a causes a height drop in the intake passage 31. Because the liquid or e-liquid stored in the oil storage tank 8t is viscous, this height difference can further prevent the liquid or e-liquid stored in the oil storage tank 8t from flowing backward. This height difference can further prevent the liquid or smoke oil stored in the oil storage tank 8t from leaking through the through hole 31h.
- the blocking component 33a may be made of silicone. In some embodiments, the blocking component 33a may be a silicone ring. In some embodiments, the blocking member 33 a may be made of the same material as the housing 3. In some embodiments, the blocking assembly 33 a may be made of a different material from the housing 3. In some embodiments, the blocking assembly 33a and the housing 3 may be two separate members. In some embodiments, the blocking component 33a and the housing 3 may be integrally formed.

- the blocking component 33b allows air to enter the intake passage 31 through the through hole 31h.

- the blocking assembly 33b may be a check valve.
- a blocking component 34 may be disposed in the air outlet passage 32.
- the blocking assembly 34 may have one or more through holes 34h.
- the blocking component 34 allows the aerosol to flow from the atomizing chamber 8c toward the through hole 1h. Because the liquid or e-liquid stored in the oil storage tank 8t is viscous, the aperture of the through hole 34h is designed to prevent liquid or e-liquid from flowing from the oil storage tank 8t to the through-hole 1h.
- Figures 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, and 6E illustrate top views of some embodiments of a heating assembly top cover according to the present invention.
- the e-liquid stored in the oil storage tank 30 contacts the heating element 6 through the through hole 4h on the heating component top cover 401 and the through hole 5h on the silicone cover 5 of the heating component.
- the diameter and shape of the through hole 4h can be adjusted according to the properties of the e-liquid. In some embodiments, if the viscosity of the e-liquid is high, the through hole 4h may be designed to have a larger pore size. In some embodiments, if the viscosity of the e-liquid is low, the through hole 4h may be designed to have a smaller pore size. The through hole 4h with a smaller aperture can prevent excessive e-liquid from directly contacting the heating component 6. The through hole 4h with a larger aperture can ensure that more e-liquid directly contacts the heating component 6.
- the hole size of the through hole 4h is appropriately adjusted so that the heating component 6 is in contact with sufficient e-liquid, which can avoid dry burning during the heating process, and also avoid the aerosol generated by the aerosol.
- Adjusting the hole diameter of the through hole 4h appropriately according to the properties of the e-liquid can prevent the heating component 6 from contacting with too much e-liquid. Excessive e-liquid cannot be adsorbed by the heating component 6 and will gradually penetrate from the oil storage tank 30 through the heating component 6 into the oil storage tank 8t. If the amount of e-liquid penetrating into the oil storage tank 8t is too large, it will increase the probability that the e-liquid will flow into the intake passage 31 and the exit passage 32. If the amount of e-liquid that has penetrated into the oil storage tank 8t is too large, it will increase the probability that the e-liquid will seep through the through-hole 31h of the intake passage or the through-hole 32h of the exhaust passage.

- the time period S1 and the time period S2 are both within the action of the user continuously inhaling.
- Step 204 can be performed by using the controller 171, the circuit board 17, the power source component 20, the conductive contact 9, the conductive spring pin 15, and the heating component 6.

Overheating of the heating assembly 6 may reduce the life of the components inside the atomizing device 100. When the heating component 6 continues to heat for a time reaching the threshold value TN2, stopping the heating can prevent the heating component 6 from burning dry.

Description
本发明大体上涉及一种雾化装置及其方法,具体而言涉及一种提供可吸入气雾(aerosol)之电子装置及其方法。
电子烟系一种电子产品,其将可挥发性溶液加热雾化并产生气雾以供用户吸食。近年来,各大厂商开始生产各式各样的电子烟产品。一般而言,一电子烟产品包括外壳、储油室、雾化室、加热组件、進氣口、气流通道、出气口、电源装置、感测装置及控制装置。储油室用于储存可挥发性溶液,加热组件用于将可挥发性溶液加热雾化并产生气雾。進氣口與雾化室彼此連通,當使用者吸氣時提供空氣給加熱组件。由加热组件产生之气雾首先產生於雾化室内,随后经由气流通道及出气口被使用者吸入。电源装置提供加热组件所需之电力,控制装置根据感测装置侦测到的用户吸气动作,控制加热组件的加热时间。外壳则包覆上述各个组件。
现有的电子烟产品存在不同的缺陷,这些缺陷可能因不同构件间相对位置设计不良而产生。举例言之,常见的电子烟产品将加热组件、气流通道与出气口设计成在垂直方向上彼此对齐。因气流通道具有一定长度,气雾通过气流通道时冷却,会形成冷凝液体附着在气流通道壁上。在此种设计下,当残留的冷凝液体达到一特定体积,冷凝液体很容易在使用者吸气时被直接吸入口中,造成呛到的不良体验。
此外,现有的电子烟产品并未考虑到防止冷凝液逆流。当电子烟产品倾斜或倒立放置时,残存在雾化室或气流通道内的冷凝液体,可能从进气口或出气口溢出。溢出的冷凝液可能造成电子烟产品内电气组件(例如,感测装置及控制装置)的损坏。
此外,现有的电子烟产品并未考虑到对加热组件的功率输出进行控制,当使用者进行长时间吸气时,电源装置对加热组件持续加热,加热组件可能过热并产生烧焦味,烧焦味將造成使用者的不良體驗。过热之加热组件亦可能造成电子烟内部构件镕毁甚至起火燃烧。未对功率输出进行控制的现有的电子烟产品普遍具有电源能量消耗快的缺点。
因此,提出一种可解决上述问题之雾化装置及其方法。

图3A及3B说明根据本发明的一些实施例的烟弹的截面图。
如图3A所示,烟弹外壳3包含了储油舱30、进气通道31及出气通道32。在某些实施例中,进气通道31及出气通道32可位于烟弹外壳3之内部。在某些实施例中,进气通道31及出气通道32可由烟弹外壳3之内部结构界定。在某些实施例中,进气通道31及出气通道32可由烟弹外壳3与主体外壳24一起界定。在某些实施例中,进气通道31可由外壳3之内部结构与加热组件底座8一同界定。在某些实施例中,出气通道32可由外壳3之内部结构与加热组件底座8一同界定。

在某些实施例中,进气通道31之管径可相同于出气通道32之管径。在某些实施例中,进气通道31之管径可不同于出气通道32之管径。在某些实施例中,进气通道31之管径可小于出气通道32之管径。较小的进气通道31管径可以使传感器启动管7更容易产生一负压。较小的进气通道31管径可以使传感器16更容易侦测使用者的吸气动作。
在某些实施例中,进气通道31与出气通道32在烟弹外壳3内可呈现不对称配置。
如图3A所示,雾化室8c可为加热组件6与加热组件底座8之间的空腔。如图3A所示,雾化室8c可由加热组件6与加热组件底座8一同界定。进气通道31与雾化室8c连通。出气通道32与雾化室8c连通。进气通道31与雾化室8c连通的部分位于加热组件6下方。出气通道32与雾化室8c连通的部分位于加热组件6下方。上述配置方式具有许多优点。上述配置方式可以至少部分地使气流避开加热组件6。上述配置方式可以至少部分地使气流不直接流經加热组件6。与气流需直接经过加热组件的现有技术相比,减少了加热组件材料对烟油(可挥发性材料)口味的影响。此外,当用户垂直握持雾化装置100时,出气通道内壁上残留的冷凝液体即使向下倒流也不会滴落在加热组件6上,可避免冷凝液堵塞加热组件6。
如图3A所示,传感器启动管7设置于加热组件底座8上。传感器启动管7具有凸出于加热组件底座8之一长度7L。传感器启动管7超出加热组件底座8之部分可设置于进气通道31内。在雾化装置100的使用过程中,气雾可能冷凝成液体32d并残留在出气通道32内壁上。液体32d可能回流并囤积于储油槽8t(见图8A至8D)中。在某些情况下,储存于储油舱30内的可挥发材料亦可能经由加热组件6底部渗漏至储油槽8t中。传感器启动管7超出加热组件底座8之部分可避免储油槽8t中囤积的液体经由通孔8h2渗漏。
在某些实施例中,长度7L在1mm至10mm之范围内。在某些实施例中,长度7L 在1mm至6mm之范围内。在某些实施例中,长度7L在1mm至4mm之范围内。在某些实施例中,长度7L在1mm至2mm之范围内。在某些实施例中,长度7L可为1.5mm。在某些实施例中,长度7L可为2mm。
在某些实施例中,传感器启动管7与加热组件底座8可为分开之两组件。在某些实施例中,传感器启动管7与加热组件底座8可为一体成型。在某些实施例中,传感器启动管7可由金属材料制成。在某些实施例中,传感器启动管7可由塑料材料制成。在某些实施例中,传感器启动管7与加热组件底座8可由相同材料制成。在某些实施例中,传感器启动管7与加热组件底座8可由不同材料制成。
如图3B所示,进气通道31具有长度31L,出气通道32具有长度32L。在某些实施例中,长度31L可不同于长度32L。在某些实施例中,长度31L可短于长度32L。
长度7L与长度31L可呈一比例关系。在某些实施例中,长度31L与长度7L的比例可在6至7的范围内。在某些实施例中,长度31L与长度7L的比例可在7至8的范围内。在某些实施例中,长度31L与长度7L的比例可在8至9的范围内。在某些实施例中,长度31L与长度7L的比例可在9至10的范围内。
进气通道31经由烟弹外壳3上的通孔31h与外部连通。出气通道32经由烟嘴盖1上的通孔1h与外部连通。在某些实施例中,通孔31h与通孔1h在水平方向上位于不同位置。在某些实施例中,通孔31h至加热组件6的距离与通孔1h至加热组件6的距离不同。在某些实施例中,通孔31h至加热组件6的距离小于通孔1h至加热组件6的距离。
储油舱30系一密封区域。储油舱30可由烟弹外壳3内的隔间结构30w1、30w2以及加热组件顶盖4形成。加热组件顶盖4与隔间结构30w1及30w2接触处具有一密封构件4r。密封构件4r可使加热组件顶盖4与隔间结构30w1及30w2紧密接触。密封构件4r可避免储存于储油舱30内的可挥发性材料渗出。
在某些实施例中,加热组件顶盖4及密封构件4r可以使用相同制程形成。在某些实施例中,加热组件顶盖4及密封构件4r可以使用不同材料经由相同制程形成。在某些实施例中,加热组件顶盖4及密封构件4r可使用射出成型(injection molding)形成。在某些实施例中,使用塑料材料射出成型以产生加热组件顶盖4。在某些实施例中,使用液态硅胶在加热组件顶盖4上射出成型以产生密封构件4r。
在某些实施例中,加热组件顶盖4及密封构件4r可以使用不同制程形成,随后再将加热组件顶盖4及密封构件4r彼此组合。在某些实施例中,使用塑料材料射出成型以产生加热组件顶盖4,并以热压成型(compression molding)以产生密封构件4r。使用额外的 组装步骤将产生的加热组件顶盖4及密封构件4r彼此结合。
图4说明根据本发明的一些实施例的烟弹的截面图。
图4显示了烟弹100A内的气体通道结构。
进气通道31延着一方向延伸(如图4中垂直方向)。进气通道31与雾化室8c的连通部分31c(见图8D)延着一方向延伸(如图4中水平方向)。进气通道31延伸的方向与连通部分31c延伸的方向不同。
出气通道32延着一方向延伸(如图中垂直方向)。出气通道32与雾化室8c的连通部分32c(见图8D)延着一方向延伸(如图中水平方向)。出气通道32延伸的方向与连通部分32c延伸的方向不同。
出气通道32可具有第一部分(如图4中所示,介于3f3至3f4之间的部分)及第二部分(如图4中所示,介于3f4至3f5之间的部分)。第一部分延伸的方向与第二部分延伸的方向可以不同。
进气通道31与雾化室8c连通处具有一方向改变3f2。雾化室8c与出气通道32连通处具有一方向改变3f3。出气通道32在靠近烟嘴盖1上的通孔1h处具有一方向改变3f4。出气通道32与烟嘴盖1上的通孔1h连通处具有一方向改变3f5。
图4显示了使用者对烟弹100A吸气时产生的气流流动方向。当使用者吸气时,空气从烟弹100A与主体外壳24间的空隙进入,并在烟弹100A与主体外壳24之间产生一方向改变3f1。随后空气从通孔31h进入进气通道31,并在进入雾化室8c前产生一方向改变3f2。
使用者吸气的动作使传感器启动管7内产生气流7f。气流7f从传感器启动管7进入烟弹100A。在某些实施例中,气流7f可以进入进气通道31。在某些实施例中,气流7f可随着使用者吸气的动作进入雾化室8c。在某些实施例中,部分的气流7f可随着使用者吸气的动作进入出气通道32。
气流7f经过烟弹100A及主体100B之间的间隙时被传感器16侦测。控制器171根据传感器16侦测之结果启动加热组件6并在雾化室8c中产生气雾。产生的气雾在刚进入出气通道32时产生一方向改变3f3。产生的气雾随后在出气通道32内靠近烟嘴盖1上的通孔1h处产生另一方向改变3f4。产生的气雾在离开烟嘴盖1上的通孔1h时产生另一方向改变3f5。
在雾化装置100的使用过程中,气雾可能冷凝成液体32d并残留在出气通道32内壁上。冷凝的液体32d具有黏稠性,在出气通道32内壁上不容易产生流动。在用户吸气过程,出气通道32内包含的多个方向改变3f3、3f4、3f5可更佳地避免冷凝的液体32d 经由通孔1h被使用者吸入。
气流从进气通道31经过雾化室8c之后产生一温度上升Tr。在某些实施例中,温度上升Tr可以在200℃至220℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度上升Tr可以在240℃至260℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度上升Tr可以在260℃至280℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度上升Tr可以在280℃至300℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度上升Tr可以在300℃至320℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度上升Tr可以在200℃至320℃的范围内。
从雾化室8c流出的气流在到达通孔1h之前可产生一温度下降Tf。从雾化室8c流出的气流在通过出气通道32期间可产生一温度下降Tf。在某些实施例中,温度下降Tf可以在145℃至165℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度下降Tf可以在165℃至185℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度下降Tf可以在205℃至225℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度下降Tf可以在225℃至245℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度下降Tf可以在245℃至265℃的范围内。在某些实施例中,温度下降Tf可以在145℃至265℃的范围内。
在某些实施例中,经由通孔1h被使用者吸入的气雾可以具有低于65℃的温度。在某些实施例中,经由通孔1h被使用者吸入的气雾可以具有低于55℃的温度。在某些实施例中,经由通孔1h被使用者吸入的气雾可以具有低于50℃的温度。在某些实施例中,经由通孔1h被使用者吸入的气雾可以具有低于45℃的温度。在某些实施例中,经由通孔1h被使用者吸入的气雾可以具有低于40℃的温度。
图5A及5B说明根据本发明的一些实施例的烟弹的截面图。
如图5A所示,进气通道31内可设置一阻挡组件33a。阻挡组件33a可具有一通孔33h。通孔33h的管径小于进气通道31的管径。通孔33h可以视为进气通道31的一部分。阻挡组件33a可具有一厚度33L。阻挡组件33a的厚度33L在进气通道31内产生一高度落差。因囤积于储油槽8t内的液体或烟油具有黏稠性,该高度落差可更加地避免囤积于储油槽8t内的液体或烟油逆流。该高度落差可更加地避免囤积于储油槽8t内的液体或烟油经由通孔31h渗漏。
在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33a可以由硅胶制成。在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33a可以是一个硅胶环。在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33a可以与外壳3使用相同的材料制成。在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33a可以与外壳3使用不同的材料制成。在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33a与外壳3可以是两个分离的构件。在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33a与外壳3可以一体成型。
如图5B所示,进气通道31内可设置一阻挡组件33b。阻挡组件33b可使空气由通孔31h进入进气通道31。阻挡组件33b可防止液体从储油槽8t往通孔31h方向流动。在某些实施例中,阻挡组件33b可以是一个逆止阀。
出气通道32内可设置一阻挡组件34。阻挡组件34可具有一或多个通孔34h。阻挡组件34可使气雾从雾化室8c往通孔1h方向流动。因囤积于储油槽8t内的液体或烟油具有黏稠性,通孔34h之孔径设计为可防止液体或烟油从储油槽8t往通孔1h方向流动。
图6A、6B、6C、6D和6E说明根据本发明的加热组件顶盖的一些实施例的俯视图。
储存于储油舱30内的烟油经过加热组件顶盖401上的通孔4h以及加热组件硅胶套5上的通孔5h与加热组件6接触。
通孔4h的孔径及外型可以依照烟油的性质加以调整。在某些实施例中,若烟油的黏稠度较高,通孔4h可以设计成具有较大孔径。在某些实施例中,若烟油的黏稠度较低,通孔4h可以设计成具有较小孔径。具有较小孔径之通孔4h可以避免过多的烟油直接与加热组件6接触。具有较大孔径之通孔4h可以确保较多的烟油直接与加热组件6接触。
根据烟油的性质适当地调整通孔4h的孔径大小,使加热组件6与充足的烟油接触,可避免加热过程中产生干烧,亦可避免产生之气雾带有焦味。
根据烟油的性质适当地调整通孔4h的孔径大小,可避免加热组件6与过多的烟油接触。过多的烟油无法被加热组件6吸附,会逐渐从储油舱30经由加热组件6渗透至储油槽8t内。渗透至储油槽8t内的烟油量如果太大,将增加烟油流进进气通道31及出气通道32的机率。渗透至储油槽8t内的烟油量如果太大,将增加烟油从进气通道的通孔31h或出气通道的通孔32h渗出的机率。

与加热组件顶盖402搭配之加热组件硅胶套5上可具有一通孔5h。通孔5h可与加热组件顶盖402上之通孔4h具有相似外型。通孔5h可与加热组件顶盖402上之通孔4h具有相似孔径面积。通孔5h可与加热组件顶盖402上之通孔4h具有相似位置。在某些实施例中,通孔5h可与加热组件顶盖402上之通孔4h具有不同外型。在某些实施例中,通孔5h可与加热组件顶盖402上之通孔4h具有不同位置。在某些实施例中,通孔5h可与加热组件顶盖402上之通孔4h具有不同孔径面积。

图10说明根据本发明的一些实施例的输出功率控制方法流程图。
输出功率控制方法200可包含数个步骤。在某些实施例中,输出功率控制方法200中的数个步骤可以依照图10中所示顺序依序进行。在某些实施例中,输出功率控制方法200中的数个步骤可以不依照图10中所示顺序进行。
在步骤201中侦测使用者的吸气动作。步骤201可以由传感器16及控制器171搭配进行。
在步骤202中判断停止向加热组件6输出功率的时间是否大于阈值TN1。若停止向加热组件6输出功率的时间大于或等于阈值TN1,进行步骤203。若停止向加热组件6输出功率的时间未达阈值TN1,进行步骤204。步骤202可以由控制器171内设定一定时器进行。控制器171内可以设定一定时器,从电源组件20停止向加热组件6提供功率的时间点开始计时。
在某些实施例中,阈值TN1在15秒至60秒的范围内。在某些实施例中,阈值TN1在25秒至40秒的范围内。在某些实施例中,阈值TN1可以是30秒。
在步骤203中,在时间段S1向加热组件6输出功率P1,并在紧随时间段S1之后的时间段S2向加热组件输出功率P2。时间段S1及时间段S2皆处于使用者持续吸气的动作内。步骤204可以由控制器171、电路板17、电源组件20、导电触点9、导电弹针15及加热组件6搭配进行。
在某些实施例中,功率P1可以大于功率P2。在某些实施例中,P1在6W至15W的范围中。在某些实施例中,P1在7.2W至9W的范围中。在某些实施例中,P2在4.5W至9W的范围中。在某些实施例中,P2在6W至8W的范围中。
在某些实施例中,S1在0.1秒至2秒的范围中。在某些实施例中,S1在0.1秒至1秒的范围中。在某些实施例中,S1在0.1秒至0.6秒的范围中。
在某些实施例中,S2在0.1秒至4秒的范围中。在某些实施例中,S2在0.1秒至3.5秒的范围中。
步骤202及步骤203具有许多优点。藉由阈值TN1,可以判定雾化装置100是否长时间未被使用。当用户长时间未使用雾化装置100时,加热组件6呈现冷却状态。当用 户对雾化装置100进行第一口吸气动作,雾化装置100可以在时间段S1输出较大功率P1。较大功率P1可以加速气雾产生速度。当使用者的吸气动作达到时间段S2,加热组件6已经具有特定温度,雾化装置100可以将输出功率降低至P2。降低的功率P2可以使气雾均匀产生。降低的功率P2可以使电源组件20的使用时间增加。
在步骤204中,向加热组件输出功率P3。步骤203可以由控制器171、电路板17、电源组件20、导电触点9、导电弹针15及加热组件6搭配进行。
在某些实施例中,P3在3.5W至10W的范围中。在某些实施例中,P3在4.5W至9W的范围中。在某些实施例中,P3在6W至8W的范围中。在某些实施例中,P3可以与P2相同。在某些实施例中,P3可以与P2不同。
步骤202及步骤204具有许多优点。藉由阈值TN1,可以判定雾化装置100是否在短时间内曾被用户使用。若雾化装置100在短时间内曾被用户使用,加热组件6尚未完全冷却。若雾化装置100在短时间内曾被用户使用,加热组件6具有特定温度。此时雾化装置100可以将输出功率调整为P3。经调整的功率P3可以使气雾均匀产生。经调整的功率P3可以使电源组件20的使用时间增加。
在步骤205中,当向加热组件输出功率的时间已到达阈值TN2,停止向加热组件输出功率。步骤205可以由控制器171内设定一定时器进行。
步骤205具有许多优点。当加热组件6持续加热时间到达阈值TN2时停止加热可以避免加热组件6过热。加热组件6过热可能造成雾化装置100内部其他组件损坏。加热组件6过热可能降低雾化装置100内部组件寿命。当加热组件6持续加热时间到达阈值TN2时停止加热可以避免加热组件6干烧。加热组件6干烧可能产生焦味。加热组件6干烧可能产生有毒物质。
在某些实施例中,阈值TN2在2秒至10秒的范围中。
在步骤206中,当未侦测到吸气动作的持续时间到达阈值TN3,触发雾化装置100進入一待机状态。在处于待机状态时,雾化装置100功率消耗降低。在处于待机状态时,传感器16仍保持活动状态。步骤206可以由控制器171内设定一定时器进行。
當使用者停止吸氣動作時,输出功率控制方法200可進一步包含停止向加热组件6输出功率的步驟。此步驟可藉由控制器171及传感器16搭配进行。
