Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a vaporizer according to the present invention. The vaporizer may be used in electronic vaporization devices, medical vaporization, and other fields, and the vaporizer has a simple structure, which facilitates the use of an automated mounting method, so that mounting processes can be simplified, assembly efficiency can be improved, labor costs during assembly can be saved, and some manual errors during assembly can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the vaporizer may include a vaporization unit and a liquid storage unit sleeved on the vaporization unit, where the liquid storage unit and the vaporization unit are liquid-conductively connected.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the vaporization unit may include a vaporization base 30, a vaporization assembly 1, and a vaporization top base 34. In some embodiments, the vaporization base 30 may be elliptical and may be configured to be electrically connected to a battery rod.

The vaporization top base 34 may include an integrally-formed sleeve, and the sleeve may be sleeved on the vaporization base 30, to accommodate the vaporization assembly 1, and form a vaporization cavity. Structures of the vaporization base 30, the vaporization assembly 1, and the vaporization top base 34 are not limited and may be designed according to different types of vaporizers.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the vaporizer further includes an anti-counterfeiting assembly 2, the vaporization assembly 1 includes a first electrode contact 111 and a second electrode contact 112, and the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 includes a first electrode connection terminal 121 and a second electrode connection terminal 122. The first electrode contact 111 is electrically connected to the first electrode connection terminal 121, the second electrode contact 112 of the vaporization assembly 1 is used as a first electrode of the vaporizer, and the second electrode connection terminal 122 of the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 is used as a second electrode of the vaporizer. When the vaporizer is connected to the battery rod, the first electrode and the second electrode are connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the battery rod. In this application, the vaporization assembly 1 and the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 are connected in series, so that when the vaporizer is connected to the battery rod, the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 is capable of communicating with the battery rod through the first electrode and the second electrode. Specifically, the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 may be arranged inside the vaporizer. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 is arranged in an accommodation cavity of the vaporization base 30.

Referring to FIG. 3, an N2 end (that is, the first electrode connection terminal 121) of the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 is connected to an N1 end (that is, the first electrode contact 111) of a vaporization assembly L (corresponding to the vaporization assembly 1 in FIG. 2), a P1 end (that is, the second electrode contact 112) of the vaporization assembly L is used as the first electrode of the vaporizer, and a P2 end (that is, the second electrode connection terminal 122) of the anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 is used as the second electrode of the vaporizer.

The anti-counterfeiting assembly 2 includes a control unit 201, a power supply unit 202, and a switch unit 203. The control unit 201 includes a communication detection end Q. The communication detection end is connected to the N2 end and the N1 end, that is, the communication detection end Q is connected to the first electrode contact 111 and the first electrode connection terminal 121. The power supply unit 202 is connected to the communication detection end Q and the control unit 201. A first end of the switch unit 203 is connected to the N1 end, that is, the first electrode contact 111, a second end is connected to the P2 end, that is, the second electrode connection terminal, and a control end is connected to the control unit 201. In a specific embodiment, the switch unit 203 may be a MOS transistor, and may specifically be a PMOS transistor or an NMOS transistor. In this embodiment, in a case that the vaporizer is connected to the battery rod, after the vaporizer receives a communication signal from the battery rod through the communication detection end Q, the control unit 201 sends, through the communication detection end Q, a feedback signal to the battery rod based on a voltage signal provided by the power supply unit 202, to implement communication between the vaporizer and the battery rod.

Specifically, during communication, the switch unit 203 is in a second working state, that is, an off state. In this case, the battery rod sends a communication signal through the P1 end, the vaporizer detects the communication signal from the battery rod through the communication detection end Q, and charges, while receiving the communication signal from the battery rod, the power supply unit 202 by using the communication signal. After the vaporizer receives the communication signal, the power supply unit 202 supplies power to the control unit 201, so that the control unit 201 sends, through the communication detection end Q, a feedback signal to the P1 end based on the voltage signal provided by the power supply unit 202, to further send the feedback signal to the battery rod, thereby implementing communication between the vaporizer and the battery rod.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the power supply unit 202 includes a first diode D1 and a storage capacitor C1. An anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the communication detection end Q, and a cathode is connected to a first end of the storage capacitor C1. A second end of the storage capacitor C1 is connected to the control unit 201. When the power supply unit 202 is charged, that is, the storage capacitor C1 is charged, the first diode D1 is configured to prevent a reverse voltage from damaging the control unit 201, and the first diode D1 can also prevent other circuits from consuming power. Specifically, when the storage capacitor C1 is charged to a high level, if there is no first diode D1, the storage capacitor C1 may be discharged through the vaporization assembly L, and power is consumed.

After communication is completed, the battery rod sends a heating instruction to the vaporizer. When the vaporizer receives the heating instruction, the control unit 201 controls the switch unit 203 to be in a first working state, that is, an on state. In this case, the battery rod inputs a power supply voltage from the P1 end to heat the vaporization assembly L, so that the vaporization assembly L works in a heating state. After the heating state, the control unit 201 controls the switch unit 203 to be in the second working state, that is, the off state.

In an embodiment, to ensure normal operation of the control unit 201, it is necessary to set a timing unit 206. The timing unit 206 controls a heating time and performs timing after receiving the heating instruction, so that the control unit 201 controls the switch unit 203 to be in the first working state within a heating time controlled by the timing unit 206 to enable the vaporization assembly L to work in the heating state. The control unit 201 controls the switch unit 203 to be in the second working state within a non-heating time controlled by the timing unit 206. Specifically, when a scheduled time is reached, the heating is stopped and the power supply unit 202 starts to be charged to ensure that in a heating process, the power supply unit 202 has enough power to drive the control unit 201 and then control the switch unit 203. In other words, when the switch unit 203 is turned on, the power supply unit 202 cannot be charged, and in this case, the control unit 201 needs to be used to control the switch unit 203 to be turned on and off in a time-sharing manner Specifically, when the switch unit 203 is turned on, the vaporization assembly L is heated. In this case, the control unit 201 is powered by the charged power supply unit 202; and when the switch unit 203 is turned off, the power supply unit 202 is charged to ensure that the control unit 201 can normally work the next time the switch unit 203 is turned on.

The rectifier unit 204 may realize forward or reverse connection between the battery rod and the vaporizer. Specifically, the rectifier unit 204 includes a first path and a second path. When the vaporizer and the battery rod are connected in a first connection manner, that is, in the forward connection manner, the first electrode, that is, the P1 end, is connected to a voltage output end of the battery rod to receive a power supply voltage. In this case, the first path of the rectifier unit 204 connects the P1 end to the control unit 201 and the power supply unit 202, and connects the second electrode, that is, the P2 end to the ground. Communication and heating operations are performed on the vaporizer and the battery rod through the first path.
