Liquid storage method and storage device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of porous material using methods, in particular to a method for storing an nebulizable liquid by using a porous material and a device for storing the nebulizable liquid by using the method.
Background
At present, containers such as cups and bottles are generally used for storing and transporting liquid materials, and the liquid containers, particularly the containers such as cups, need special attention in the storing and transporting process due to the large upper opening, and particularly the liquid stored in the containers such as tobacco tar, essential oil, perfume and the like can cause a great deal of inconvenience if overflowed.
At present, some nebulizable liquid such as tobacco tar is often required to be nebulized when in use, such as tobacco tar, essential oil, perfume and the like, in particular tobacco tar is a main raw material of electronic cigarettes, and a liquid storage device/bin in the electronic cigarettes is all used for storing the nebulizable liquid by using components which are assembled by a shell housing (materials: metal, plastic and glass), an air flow pipeline (materials: metal, plastic and glass), a silica gel piece and the like to form a certain sealing space. Such reservoirs/cartridges are not completely sealed and the storage of the nebulizable liquid, the tobacco tar, is in a fluid state and the storage time is very limited. In addition, after the atomization of the atomized liquid-tobacco tar in the liquid storage/bin is finished, the tobacco tar is not convenient to be injected into the liquid storage/bin, in a word, the prior liquid storage/bin and the like use devices capable of liquefying the atomized liquid, need to be assembled, have long production period, and have high risk of liquid leakage in the long-term storage, transportation and use processes.

Since the diameters of the liquid molecules are different, the degrees of freedom of movement are different, so that the adsorption capacities of porous materials with different pore diameters on different liquids are different. The porous material can be used for preparing double-layer or multi-layer structural materials with different porosities by using powders with different particle sizes, and the laminated layers with different porosities store different liquids.
Further, in the above liquid storage method: the liquid to be stored is tobacco tar. The porous material with the set shape comprises a porous ceramic material or a porous metal material.

The pore size of the porous ceramic material or the porous metal material is 5-100 mu m. According to the different diameters of each liquid molecule, porous materials with different pore diameters are used for adsorbing and storing different liquids. The porous material with the set shape is made of powder with different particle sizes, and has double layers or multi-layer structures with different porosities, and the laminated layers with different porosities store different liquids.
The invention also provides a liquid storage device which comprises the porous material with the set shape, wherein the liquid to be stored is adsorbed into pores of 5-100 mu m in the porous material with the set shape.
The invention provides a device for storing liquid by using porous materials, in particular to a device for storing nebulizable liquid with the atomization temperature ranging from 99 ℃ to 300 ℃ such as tobacco tar and the like.

Detailed Description
In embodiment 1, the liquid storage device for storing tobacco tar in an electronic cigarette is shown in fig. 1, and in this embodiment, the liquid storage device 100 is integrally in a cylindrical shape and is formed by a porous material, and the porous material may be a ceramic material such as silicon carbide and alumina, or a porous metal material such as stainless steel, copper and nickel. The pore size of the porous material is 5-100 mu m. The pores of the porous material are utilized to store tobacco tar, and the tobacco tar is enabled to enter the pores of the porous material through the capillary principle and the siphon principle. In practice, with the porosity of the porous material being adjustable, the liquid storage is adjusted by adjusting the porosity, which may be typically 40%, and a suitable porosity may be selected between 20% and 70% as desired.
The liquid storage device for storing the tobacco tar in the embodiment is very simple to store, and the liquid storage device for storing the tobacco tar is directly soaked in the tobacco tar; the porous material is taken out when the porous material in the liquid storage device for storing tobacco tar is about to saturate when the atomized liquid is adsorbed.
In this embodiment, a liquid storage device for storing tobacco tar used in an electronic cigarette is disclosed, which is implemented to store tobacco tar according to the characteristic that the liquid storage device is a porous material. In fact, these porous materials can be manufactured into various desired shapes, such as cuboid, cube, sphere, etc., and many alternative shapes can be selected according to the need, and of course, the present invention is not limited to storing tobacco tar in an electronic atomizer, other liquids can be stored, and in practice, the present invention can be used for storing nebulizable liquids such as essential oils, perfumes, etc. and other liquids can be stored.
The liquid storage device for storing tobacco tar in this embodiment can adopt to directly heat the porous material after tobacco tar is stored, atomize the tobacco tar therein and absorb, of course, the porous material can be porous material with higher temperature resistance such as porous metal or alloy, porous ceramic, etc., can replace the glass material or the oil cup of resin material in the original electronic cigarette in practice, soak it in tobacco tar when using, assemble into electronic cigarette after the oil absorption is saturated, when inhaling, the tobacco tar is atomized, soak in tobacco tar again and use repeatedly.
Embodiment 2 is a storage device for simultaneously storing different liquids, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the liquid storage device 200 is divided into three layers according to need, different layers may have different porosities, and the pore sizes of the layers are arranged in an increasing or decreasing trend, and may be used for storing different liquids, as shown in fig. 2, and in this embodiment, the liquid storage device is divided into three layers: the inner layer liquid storage cores 201 with the pore sizes of 5-50 mu m in the middle are respectively used for storing liquid with relatively small molecular groups, the middle storage layers 202 with the pore diameters of 30-70 mu m outside the liquid storage cores are used for storing liquid with relatively small molecular groups, and the outer layer liquid storage layers 203 with the pore diameters of 50-100 mu m are arranged outside the liquid storage cores and can be used for storing liquid with relatively large molecular groups. It is known that different liquids differ in size of the clusters due to differences in chemical bonds between molecules. When using such a multi-layer reservoir to store different liquids, the device is first immersed in a larger group of liquids, at which time the pores of the 50-100 μm outer reservoir layer 203 will be filled with larger group of liquids until saturation, whereas the middle reservoir layer 202 and the inner reservoir core 201 cannot be immersed in larger group of liquids, such as larger group of liquids, due to their small pore diameters. Then, the device is immersed in the smaller-cluster liquid, the smaller-cluster liquid is immersed in the middle liquid storage layer 202, the smaller-cluster liquid cannot be immersed because the outer liquid storage layer 203 is saturated, the inner liquid storage core 201 cannot be immersed because the smaller-cluster liquid with small pore diameters is also immersed, the device is taken out after the middle liquid storage layer 202 is saturated and finally immersed in the liquid, and thus the liquid with the smallest cluster can only enter the inner liquid storage core 201 because the other two liquid storage layers are saturated. In the practical process, a layer of isolating film can be arranged at each layer of boundary, and a layer of isolating film is arranged on the outer wall of the outer layer of liquid storage layer, and the isolating film can be a vegetable water breathable film.
