[0026] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be understood that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "first", "second", etc. are only for the convenience of describing the technical solution of the present invention, and do not indicate that the devices or elements referred to must have special differences, and therefore cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. It should be noted that when a piece is considered to be "connected" to another piece, it can be directly connected to the other piece or there may be a central piece at the same time. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this document have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Figures 1 to 5The atomizer 1 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. The atomizer 1 can be used in conjunction with a battery device (not shown) to form an electronic atomization device, which can be used for heating and atomizing liquid media such as cigarette liquid and liquid medicine. As shown in the figure, the atomizer 1 has a flat and long shape. It can be understood that its shape is not limited to this, and other shapes such as cylindrical are also suitable.

[0029] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1 may include a base 10, an atomizer assembly 20 installed on the base 10, a soft seal 30 installed on the base 20 and located above the atomizer assembly 20, a buckle 40 mounted on the seal 30 to cooperate with the atomizer assembly 20, a liquid storage shell 50 mounted on the upper side of the base 10, and a metal bottom cover 60 mounted on the lower side of the base 10 and snapped with the liquid storage shell 50.

[0030] Read also Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the base 10 may include a hard lower body 11, a cylindrical support 12 fixed on the upper part of the lower body 11, and a soft upper body 13 sleeved on the upper part of the lower body 11 and exposing the upper end of the support 12. The cylindrical support 12 defines an atomization chamber 120.

[0031] In some embodiments, the lower seat body 11 may include a bottom wall 111 and a cylindrical side wall 112 erected on the top surface of the bottom wall 111. The top surface of the bottom wall 111 is formed with a protrusion 1110 for the bracket 12 to be sleeved thereon. The protrusion 1110 may also be provided with an air inlet 1112 for connecting the atomization chamber 120 with the outside world and a pair of conductive columns 1114 for electrically connecting the positive and negative poles of the battery device. The two conductive columns 1114 are electrically connected to the heating wire 22 of the atomization assembly 20, respectively. A longitudinal through hole 1115 is also provided at each of the two diagonal positions of the bottom wall 111, so that the two driving arms 43 of the buckle 40 can be respectively inserted.

[0032] In some embodiments, the cylindrical support 12 may be in an elliptical cylindrical shape, and two receiving grooves 121 are provided at its upper end for receiving the atomizer assembly 20. In some embodiments, the plane where the bottom of the receiving groove 121 is located is substantially flush with the top surface of the upper seat body 13, so that when the liquid absorbing end of the liquid absorbing core 21 of the atomizer assembly 20 is placed in the receiving groove 121, it will also lie on the surface of the upper seat body 13.

[0033] In some embodiments, the upper seat body 13 may be integrally formed of a soft rubber material, and may include a sleeve portion 131 extending downward to be sleeved on the outer periphery of the side wall 112 of the lower seat body 11, a filling portion 132 extending downward to fill the gap between the side wall 112 of the lower seat body 11 and the bracket 12, and a sleeve portion 133 extending upward and sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper end of the bracket 12, and the sleeve portion 133 is provided with two grooves 1330 corresponding to the receiving groove 121 of the bracket. A longitudinal through hole 134 is also provided at each of the two diagonal positions of the upper seat body 13, so as to allow the two driving arms 43 of the buckle 40 to pass through.

[0034] In some embodiments, the atomization assembly 20 includes a longitudinal liquid wick 21 and a heating wire 22 wound around the middle of the liquid wick 21. The two ends of the liquid wick 21 are respectively mounted in the two receiving grooves 121 of the bracket 12, and extend into the liquid storage cavity 510 to form a liquid absorption portion. The heating wire 22 is accommodated in the atomization cavity 120 and is used to generate heat after power is turned on, so as to heat and atomize the liquid medium absorbed by the liquid wick 21. The liquid wick 21 can be made of materials such as liquid absorbent cotton, liquid absorbent cloth or liquid absorbent fiber.

[0035] In some embodiments, the seal 30 can be made of soft rubber, and its lower end is sleeved on the upper end of the bracket 12 of the base 10 along the axial direction to communicate with the air outlet of the atomizing chamber 120. The seal 30 includes two downwardly extending sealing strips 31, which are respectively blocked in the two receiving grooves 121 of the bracket 12, and respectively tightly abut against the upper sides of the two ends of the wick 21 of the atomizing assembly 20 to prevent the liquid medium from leaking into the atomizing chamber 120. In some embodiments, the end faces of each sealing strip 31 opposite to the wick 21 are arranged in an arc shape so as to better cooperate with the wick 21. In some embodiments, the seal 30 also includes a cylindrical outer sleeve 32 for sleeved on the outer wall surface of the upper end of the bracket 12 and a cylindrical embedded portion 33 embedded in the inner wall surface of the upper end of the bracket 12, and the outer sleeve 32 is arranged at intervals to form a nesting groove 34 for embedding the upper end of the bracket 12. The sealing strip 31 extends from the bottom of the nesting groove 34 to the lower end face of the embedded portion 33.

[0036] In some implementations, the buckle 40 may include a frame 41 that is roughly elliptical, two pressing arms 42 extending downward from the bottom of the frame 41, and two driving arms 43 extending downward from the bottom of the frame 41. The frame 41 is sleeved on the outer wall surface of the seal 30 in an interference fit manner, and can move along the axial direction of the seal 30 under the action of external force. The two pressing arms 42 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two liquid absorbing ends of the liquid wick 21 to press the two liquid absorbing ends toward the base 10, and clamp the liquid absorbing ends together with the upper seat 13 of the base 10, thereby reducing the liquid absorbing capacity of the two liquid absorbing ends. In some embodiments, in order to better cooperate with the liquid wick 21, the lower end surface of each pressing arm 42 is arranged in an arc shape. The two driving arms 43 are used to pass through the through hole 134 of the upper seat body 13 and the through hole 1115 of the lower seat body 11 in sequence, respectively, so that the ends of the driving arms 43 protrude from the bottom surface of the lower seat body 11, so that when the driving arms 43 are driven to move upward from the outside, the pressing arm 42 of the buckle 40 can release the pressure on the liquid absorbing end of the liquid absorbing core 21, thereby releasing the liquid absorbing ability of the liquid absorbing end.

[0037] In some implementations, the liquid storage shell 50 can be integrally formed of plastic material, and includes a cylindrical shell 51 and an air outlet pipe 52 disposed in the shell 51. The lower end opening of the shell 51 is sleeved on the base 10, and a gas outlet 53 is provided on the top. The upper end of the gas outlet pipe 52 is connected to the gas outlet 53, and the lower end is inserted on the gas outlet of the seal 30, so that the gas outlet 53 is connected to the atomization chamber 120. A liquid storage chamber 510 is formed between the inner wall surface of the shell 51 and the outer wall surfaces of the gas outlet pipe 52, the seal 30 and the bracket 12 to accommodate the liquid medium. The two ends of the liquid wick 21 extend into the liquid storage chamber 510 respectively.

[0038] The metal bottom cover 60 can be used to fasten the base 10 and the liquid storage shell 50 together, and a middle hollow portion 61 and two through holes 62 are formed thereon. The hollow portion 61 is used to expose the air inlet hole 1112 and the conductive column 1114 on the base 10. The two through holes 62 are used to respectively allow the two driving arms 43 of the buckle 40 to pass through.

[0039] When the atomizer 1 is in the packaging and transportation process after the manufacturing is completed, the pressing arm 42 of the buckle 40 is located near the position of the base 10, and is tightly against the liquid absorption end of the liquid absorption core 21, and the end of the driving arm 43 is exposed. At this moment, the liquid absorption capacity of the liquid absorption end reaches the lowest point, which can prevent leakage during the packaging and transportation process. When the atomizer 1 needs to be used, as long as the end of the driving arm 43 is pushed into the base 10 inside, the pressing arm 42 moves in the direction away from the base 10, and the pressing of the liquid absorption end of the liquid absorption core 21 is released, so that the liquid absorption core 21 can recover normal liquid absorption capacity, and can be used normally. In addition, because the sealing member 30 is made of soft material, and the buckle 40 is interference fit in the sealing member 30, the buckle 40 is fixed after moving to the position away from the base 10, and the work of the liquid absorption core 21 will not be disturbed.

[0040] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should belong to the scope covered by the claims of the present invention.
