[0043] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The atomizer 100 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. The atomizer 100 can be used in the fields of electronic cigarettes, medical atomization, etc. It has specific structural characteristics to facilitate the use of an automated installation method, thereby simplifying the installation process, improving assembly efficiency, saving labor costs during assembly, and avoiding some human errors during the assembly process.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 100 may include an atomizing unit A and a liquid storage unit B sleeved on the atomizing unit A, and the liquid storage unit B is connected to the atomizing unit A in a liquid-conducting manner. The atomizing unit A can be used to heat and atomize the liquid medium, and the liquid storage unit B is used to store the liquid medium and guide the mist.

[0045] For example Figure 2 As shown, the atomization unit A may include a base 10, an atomization assembly 30, two first conductive members 40, two second conductive members 50 and an atomization housing 60 in some embodiments. The base 10 may be elliptical in some embodiments, and may be used to mechanically and electrically connect to the battery device 200. The base 10 may include a seat body 11. The atomization assembly 30 is mounted on the base 10 and arranged opposite to the seat body 11. The two first conductive members 40 are installed on the seat body 11 at intervals, and the two second conductive members 50 are installed on the atomization assembly 30 at intervals, and respectively abut against the two first conductive members 40 to form a conductive connection. The atomization housing 60 is sleeved on the base 10 from top to bottom and covers the atomization assembly 30. The atomization housing 60 may include an integrally formed sleeve, which may be sleeved on the base 10 to accommodate the atomization assembly 30 and form an atomization chamber 132.

[0046] In some embodiments, the atomizing unit A may further include a sealing structure 70 and an elastic member 80. The sealing structure 70 is disposed between the opening edge of the atomizing housing and the base 10. The elastic member 80 is disposed between the top of the atomizing assembly 30 and the atomizing housing to allow the atomizing housing to elastically press against the top of the atomizing assembly 30.

[0047] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the base 10 may include a base 11, a limiting boss 12, and a group of supporting structures 13; the shape and size of the cross section of the base 11 are adapted to the shape and size of the cross section of the cigarette cartridge tube 20, and it can be inserted into the cigarette cartridge tube 20; the limiting boss 12 is arranged on the base 11, located on the side of the base 11 opposite to the atomizer assembly 30, and it can limit the sealing structure 70. The at least one group of supporting structures 13 is arranged on the base 11, specifically, in this embodiment, it is arranged on the limiting boss 12, it is integrally formed with the limiting boss 12 and the base 11, and it can be inserted in the sleeve to support the atomizer assembly 30.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape and size of the seat body 11 are adapted to the cross-sectional shape and size of the cigarette cartridge tube 20, so that the seat body 11 can be installed in the cigarette cartridge tube 20. Buckles 111 can be respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the seat body 11, and the buckles 111 can be inserted into the slots 213 provided on the inner side wall of the lower part of the cigarette cartridge tube 20, so as to be matched and fixed with the cigarette cartridge tube 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support structure 13 may include two support columns 13a, 13b arranged side by side and spaced apart. The two support columns 13a, 13b may be respectively inserted into the sleeve to support the atomizer assembly 30 and are fixed with the sleeve, and the interval therebetween may form an atomizer chamber 132. In some embodiments, each support structure 13 is provided with a buckle 131, which may be arranged on each support column 13a, 13b and located on a side of the support column 13a, 13b opposite to the cartridge tube 20. The buckle 131 may cooperate with the snap position 618 arranged on the inner side of the sleeve to fix the base 10 in the sleeve.

[0050] In some embodiments, the seat body 11 is provided with an air inlet channel 14, which is axially arranged on the seat body 11. A gap is left between the seat body 11 and the atomizing assembly 30 to form the atomizing chamber 132. The air inlet channel 14 is in communication with the atomizing chamber 132, and gas can enter the atomizing chamber 132. In some embodiments, the outlet end of the air inlet channel 14 is provided with an isolation net 18, which can be used to prevent the liquid medium from leaking out of the air inlet channel 14. When the liquid medium drips on the isolation net 18, due to the small aperture of the mesh, the liquid medium can form a layer of liquid film on each mesh, thereby preventing the liquid medium from leaking out. The seat body 11 is also provided with at least one film outlet hole 15, which is arranged on both sides of the air inlet channel 14, which can facilitate the demoulding of the seat body 11. The at least one film outlet hole 15 can also be used as a liquid storage hole to store leaked liquid. The base body 11 is also provided with a mounting hole 16, and the mounting hole 16 can be used for installing a magnet column 17, so that the base body 11 can be installed on the battery device 200 by magnetic attraction.

[0051] For example Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid storage unit B may include a cartridge tube 20; the cartridge tube 20 may be sleeved on the base 10, and its inner side may be used to form a liquid storage chamber to accommodate the liquid medium. The cartridge tube 20 may include a shell body 21 and a mist pipe 212; the cross-sectional shape of the shell body 21 may be elliptical. Of course, it can be understood that in some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the shell body 21 may not be limited to an elliptical shape. A liquid storage chamber 211 may be formed on the inner side of the shell body 21, and the liquid storage chamber 211 is arranged at the upper part of the sleeve and communicated with the sleeve. The liquid storage chamber 211 may be located at the periphery of the mist pipe 212. The mist pipe 212 is arranged in the shell body 21 and arranged along the axial direction of the shell body 21. It is communicated with the sleeve so as to facilitate the output of the mist in the sleeve. An air outlet is provided at one end away from the sleeve, and the air outlet may form a cigarette holder for the user to smoke. A blocking piece may be provided on the air outlet to block the air outlet when the atomizer 100 is not in use, thereby preventing debris from entering the mist pipe 212 .

[0052] See also Figures 2 to 5 , Figures 8 to 9 The atomizing assembly 30 can be arranged opposite to the base 10 and can be accommodated in the sleeve. The base 10 includes a porous body 31 and a heating element 32. The porous body 31 can be arranged opposite to the base 10 and can be used to absorb liquid. The heating element 32 can be arranged on the porous body 31 and can be used to heat the liquid medium in the porous body 31 to form mist.

[0053] In some embodiments, the porous body 31 is spaced apart from the base 11, and it can be supported by the support structure 13. The gap between the porous body 31 and the base 11 can form an atomization chamber 132. In some embodiments, the height of the atomization chamber 132 can be 2-2.5 mm. The porous body 31 can be made of a rigid material, specifically, it can be a ceramic porous body, which can be used to absorb and store liquid media. In some embodiments, the height of the porous body can be 3.3-3.5 mm. In this embodiment, the porous body 31 includes an atomization surface 311 and a liquid absorption groove 312; the atomization surface 311 is arranged on a side of the porous body 31 opposite to the base 10, which can be used for the installation of the heating element 32; the liquid absorption groove 312 is arranged on a side opposite to the atomization surface 311, and its inner side wall can form a liquid absorption surface, which is connected to the liquid storage chamber 211, and can be used to accommodate liquid media, so that the porous body 31 can absorb liquid media.

[0054] The heating element 32 may be in the form of a sheet, which may be laid flat on the atomizing surface 311, and may be formed into an integral structure with the porous body 31 by sintering. In some embodiments, a receiving groove may also be provided on the atomizing surface 311; the heating element 32 may be installed in the receiving groove. In the present embodiment, the heating element 32 may be a metal sheet, which is longitudinally shaped, and may be arranged along the length direction of the porous body 31 so that all or most of the surface area is in contact with the porous body 31, thereby improving the atomization efficiency and reducing heat loss. In the present embodiment, the heating element 32 may be S-shaped, which may make the heat distribution more uniform. Of course, it is understandable that in some other embodiments, the heating element 32 is not limited to being designed in an S-shape, and may be arranged in other shapes such as a straight strip, a tape measure, and a wavy shape as needed.

[0055] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first conductive member 40 may be longitudinally shaped and may be arranged on the base 10. It can be understood that it can also be arranged on the atomizing assembly 30. It can be an elastic conductive member, which can elastically abut the second conductive member 50. In some other embodiments, the first conductive member 40 may include one or more first conductive members 40, and the number is not limited to two. The two first conductive members 40 are arranged on the base 10 at intervals, forming an integral structure with the base 10, and they both extend in the direction of the atomizing assembly 30, so as to reduce the number of assembled parts, reduce the installation steps, reduce the production and assembly costs, facilitate automated assembly, and improve efficiency. In some embodiments, the first conductive member 40 may be an elastic conductive sheet; it can be understood that in some other embodiments, it may not be limited to a sheet, and it may be a columnar or other shape. The first conductive member 40 can be made of stainless steel plated with gold. Gold is an inert metal, which can avoid oxidation and reduce harm.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first conductive member 40 may include a transverse joint portion 41, a main body portion 42, an abutting portion 43, and a guiding portion 44. The transverse joint portion 41, the main body portion 42, the abutting portion 43, and the guiding portion 44 are connected at one side to form an integral structure.

[0057] The transverse joint 41 can be combined with one of the base 10 and the atomization assembly 30. In the present embodiment, the transverse joint 41 can be arranged on the base 10, and it can be formed into an integral structure with the base 10 by injection molding. A clearance hole can be provided on the base 10 to make way for the transverse joint 41, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the transverse joint 41 and the battery device. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the transverse joint 41 can be formed into an integral structure with the porous body 31 by sintering, it can be arranged on the atomization surface 311, connected to the heating element 32, and can be integrally formed with the heating element 32.

[0058] The main body 42 can be arranged perpendicular to the transverse joint 41, and can pass through one of the base 10 and the atomizing assembly 30. In the present embodiment, it can pass through the base 10 and be arranged parallel to the supporting structure 13. Of course, it can be understood that in some other embodiments, it is not limited to being perpendicular to the transverse joint 41, and it is not limited to being arranged on the base 10, it can be arranged on the porous body 31 and can be arranged perpendicular to the atomizing surface 311 of the porous body 31, and the main body 42 can be used to support the abutting portion 43.

[0059] The abutment portion 43 can be arranged at one end of the main body 42 away from the transverse joint 41, and it is inclined to one side, and it can abut against the second conductive member 50. When the first conductive member 40 is installed in the sleeve and pressed into the base 10, the abutment portion 43 can be elastically deformed by tilting toward one side of the main body 42, thereby increasing its contact area with the second conductive member 50, and making the first conductive member 40 and the second conductive member 50 in good contact, thereby improving the conductive efficiency. Because the atomized surface of the porous body may be uneven, the second conductive member 50 on the atomized surface may be uneven, or the first conductive member 40 and the base may be easily uneven during injection molding, which may easily lead to poor contact between the first conductive member 40 and the second conductive member 50, and the first conductive member 40 and the second conductive member 50 can be well contacted by tilting the abutment portion 43. In this embodiment, the contact portions 43 of the two first conductive members 40 can be tilted in the same direction to facilitate demoulding of the base 10. It can be understood that in other embodiments, they can also be tilted in opposite directions as long as they can form good contact with the second conductive member 50.

[0060] The guide portion 44 may be arranged at the end of the abutment portion 43, and it is inclined in the direction of one of the base 10 and the atomization assembly 30, and it can guide the deformation direction of the abutment portion 43, and it can also contact the second conductive member 50, thereby forming electrical conduction. In the present embodiment, the guide portion 44 may be inclined in the direction of the base 10, so that the end of the abutment portion 43 abuts the second conductive member 50, and increases its abutment area, thereby improving the stability of the contact. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the guide portion 44 may be omitted. In the present embodiment, the two guide portions 44 of the two first conductive members 40 may be inclined in the same direction to facilitate the demoulding of the base 10. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, it may also be inclined in the opposite direction.

[0061] like Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the second conductive member 50 may be in the form of a sheet, which may be disposed laterally on the other surface of the base 10 and the atomizing assembly 30 that is opposite to one of the base 10 and the atomizing assembly 30. In this embodiment, the second conductive member 50 may be disposed on the atomizing assembly 30 and located on the atomizing surface 311 of the porous body 31. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, it may also be disposed on the surface of the base 10 that is disposed opposite to the atomizing surface 311. In some other embodiments, the second conductive member 50 may not be limited to being in the form of a sheet, and may also be in the form of a dot or other shapes.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second conductive member 50 may include one or more second conductive members, the number of which is not limited to two. In the present embodiment, the two second conductive members 50 are spaced apart and arranged at two opposite sides of the heating element 32, and are respectively connected to the heating element 32 in an electrically conductive manner, and form an integral structure with the heating element 32, which can form a straight section of the heating element 32, and form an integral structure with the porous body 31 by sintering. The two second conductive members 50 can abut against the two first conductive members 40, respectively, and specifically, they can abut against the abutment portion 43 of the first conductive member 40. When assembling the present embodiment, the base 10 with the first conductive member 40 is inserted into the sleeve, so that the first conductive member 40 and the second conductive member 50 arranged on the porous body 31 can be abutted respectively, and it does not need to be aligned, which can reduce the number of components, reduce the installation steps, reduce the production and assembly costs, facilitate automated assembly, and improve efficiency. The second conductive member 50 can be made of silver, which can have good contact with the first conductive member 40.

[0063] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, the sleeve includes a barrel 61, a cover 62, and a stopper; the barrel 61 can be arranged on the base 10, and an opening is provided at one end thereof opposite to the base 10; the barrel 61 can be used to accommodate the atomizing assembly 30 and to form an atomizing chamber 132. The cover 62 is arranged inside the barrel 61, and is integrally formed with the barrel 61, and can be used to form a first accommodating space for accommodating the atomizing assembly 30. The stopper is arranged at one end of the barrel 61 away from the opening, and can be used to limit the installation of the sealing structure 70.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cross section of the cylinder 61 may be an ellipse, and the cross section includes a major axis and a minor axis, the major axis being the symmetry axis of the two opposite sides, and the minor axis being the symmetry axis of the other two opposite sides; the two opposite sides are respectively located on the two opposite sides in the direction of the major axis, and the other two opposite sides are respectively located on the two opposite sides in the direction of the minor axis. The cylinder 61 of this embodiment is symmetrically arranged relative to the plane where the major axis of the cross-section is located and is perpendicular to the cross section, and is symmetrically arranged relative to the plane where the minor axis of the cross section is located and is perpendicular to the cross section. Of course, it can be understood that in some other embodiments, the cross section of the cylinder 61 may not be limited to an ellipse. The cylinder 61 includes a top wall 611 and a side wall 612; the top wall 611 is arranged on the end surface of the cylinder 61 away from the opening end thereof, and the side wall 612 is surrounded to form a sleeve portion that can be sleeved on the base 10.

[0065] The cylinder 61 is provided with a first through groove 613 and a second through groove 614 which penetrate through two opposite sides of the cylinder 61; the first through groove 613 can be arranged at the upper part of the cylinder 61, and can allow gas to pass in; the second through groove 614 can be arranged at the lower part of the cylinder 61, and can allow gas to pass out. The outer wall surfaces of the two opposite sides of the cylinder 61 are respectively provided with air guide grooves 615; the two ends of the air guide groove 615 are respectively connected with the first through groove 613 and the second through groove 614, and can guide gas from the second through groove 614 to the first through groove 613. The air guide groove 615 can be arranged on the surface of the cover 62. By arranging the first through groove 613, the second through groove 614 and the air guide groove 615 on the cylinder 61, it is not only convenient for the cylinder 61 to be demoulded, but also an air flow channel can be formed.

[0066] In some embodiments, a third through groove 616 and a fourth through groove 617 are further provided on the cylinder 61; the third through groove 616 and the fourth through groove 617 are separately arranged on both sides of the central axis of the cylinder 61, and the third through groove 616 and the fourth through groove 617 can be arranged through the two opposite sides of the cylinder 61, and pass through the side walls of the two opposite sides of the cylinder, and they can be respectively arranged at the two corners of the lower part of the two opposite sides thereof, which are connected with the second receiving space 619 for receiving the base 10 arranged at the lower part of the cylinder 61, and form a clamping position 618 that cooperates with the base 10, so as to clamp the base 10 and cooperate with the buckle 131 on the support structure 13 of the base 10.
