  • Patent number: 11793236
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dual-seal reverse pressure differential cartridge E-liquid injection method. The method includes: selecting an E-liquid guiding body configured to absorb, to a maximum degree, an E-liquid stored in an E-liquid storage tank, to avoid leakage of the E-liquid, while providing a smooth supply of the E-liquid. The method also includes assembling the E-liquid guiding body with a cartridge that includes an E-liquid storage tank. The E-liquid guiding body is in fluidic communication with the E-liquid in the E-liquid storage tank. In a negative pressure environment, the E-liquid is injected into the E-liquid storage tank. The E-liquid has a pressure P1. After the injection is completed, the cartridge is placed in a sealing bag, which is then sealed. The pressure inside the sealing bag is P2, P2>P1. The disclosed method can effectively avoid leakage of the E-liquid due to pressure changes in the external atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 11311687
    Abstract: The present invention provides a 3D atomizing heating component comprising a plate body having upper and lower surfaces, the plate body providing a plurality of 3D heating units for guiding, heating and atomizing the e-liquid. The 3D heating units have a through hole in the plate body and guide channels distributed regularly at the periphery of the through hole, which runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the plate body. The guide channels are recessed from the surface of the plate body and communicate with the through hole. The guide channels of the adjacent 3D heating units are connected with each other on the surface of the plate body, and the plurality of 3D heating units form a regular pattern on the surface of the plate body. The components provided improve the taste and user experience. Manufacturing is easy, facilitating the mass and mechanical production.

  • Publication number: 20200060343
    Abstract: The present invention provides an atomization generating device for e-cigarettes, comprising an e-liquid storage portion for storing and supplying an e-liquid, an atomizing portion for heating and atomizing the e-liquid, and a sealing portion located between the e-liquid storage portion and the atomizing portion, wherein the e-liquid storage portion and the atomizing portion are designed to be relatively movable to isolate the sealing portion to prevent the e-liquid leakage caused by long-term placement. Before use, e-liquid in the storage tank is not in contact with the outside, which ensures the quality and taste of the e-liquid. When in use, e-liquid flows towards the heating component, and when not in use seals the e-liquid; thereby prolonging storage life of e-liquid, and preventing e-liquid from contacting outside air, and being oscillated by the outside and from flowing out and leaking.
