AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023612 titled 'AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an aerosol-generating device that includes a housing with an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall defines an insertion space, while the outer wall surrounds the inner wall and defines a coil reception space. Both spaces have an opening on one side. The device also includes a heating coil wound around the outer side of the inner wall and placed in the coil reception space. A cover is provided to cover the opening of the coil reception space and has an insertion port for communication between the insertion space and the outside of the housing. The cover includes a sealing protrusion positioned between the openings of the insertion space and the coil reception space to press against the inner wall.
- The device has a housing with an inner and outer wall, creating separate spaces for insertion and coil reception.
- A heating coil is wound around the outer side of the inner wall and placed in the coil reception space.
- The cover is designed to cover the coil reception space opening and has an insertion port for communication.
- The cover includes a sealing protrusion that presses against the inner wall to provide a seal.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Inhalation devices: The aerosol-generating device can be used in inhalation devices, such as electronic cigarettes or vaporizers, to heat and vaporize substances for inhalation.
- Medical devices: The device can be utilized in medical devices that require aerosol generation, such as nebulizers or drug delivery systems.
- Air fresheners: The technology can be applied in air fresheners or scent diffusers to disperse fragrances in the form of aerosols.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient heating: The heating coil wound around the inner wall ensures efficient and uniform heating of the substance, leading to consistent aerosol generation.
- Sealing mechanism: The sealing protrusion on the cover provides a tight seal between the insertion space and the coil reception space, preventing leakage and ensuring proper functioning of the device.
- Controlled communication: The insertion port on the cover allows controlled communication between the insertion space and the outside, enabling the user to regulate the flow of aerosol.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience: The efficient heating and controlled communication features result in a more satisfying and consistent user experience.
- Improved safety: The sealing mechanism prevents any leakage, reducing the risk of accidental exposure to the substance being aerosolized.
- Versatility: The device can be used in various applications, making it adaptable to different industries and consumer needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
an aerosol-generating device is disclosed. the aerosol-generating device of the disclosure includes a housing comprising an inner wall to define an insertion space therein and an outer wall surrounding an outer side of the inner wall to define a coil reception space formed between the inner wall and the outer wall, wherein each of the insertion space and the coil reception space have an opening at one side; a heating coil wound around the outer side of the inner wall and disposed in the coil reception space; and a cover configured to cover the opening of the coil reception space and comprising an insertion port allowing communication between the insertion space and an outside of the housing, wherein the cover comprises a sealing protrusion positioned between the opening of the insertion space and the opening of the coil reception space to press against the inner wall.
