[0043] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Although the description of the present invention will be introduced in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, this does not mean that the features of this invention are limited to this implementation. On the contrary, the purpose of introducing the invention in conjunction with the implementation is to cover other options or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present invention, the following description will include many specific details. The present invention can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or blurring the focus of the present invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0045] See also Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid storage assembly 1 is provided, the liquid storage assembly 1 comprises a liquid storage shell 10, a liquid storage chamber 102 is provided in the liquid storage shell 10, the liquid storage shell 10 is provided with a first end portion B in its length direction X, the first end portion B is provided with a liquid outlet 103 and a movable member 11, the movable member 11 can move along the extension direction of the liquid outlet 103 under the action of an external force, so that the liquid outlet 103 is opened or closed. In this embodiment, the movable member 11 is arranged in the liquid outlet 103 or partially arranged in the liquid outlet 103, as long as it can be ensured that the movable member 11 can close or open the liquid outlet 103 when it moves along the extension direction of the liquid outlet 103. When not in use, the movable member 11 can close the liquid outlet 103 to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 102 from leaking, and avoid the packaging and other components from being contaminated by the liquid. In the electronic cigarette, the movable member closes the liquid outlet, which can prevent the leakage of the tobacco oil in the liquid storage chamber 102, and ensure that the packaging and internal components of the smoking device are not contaminated by the tobacco oil. In addition, when the liquid storage assembly 1 is located in an environment with low external air pressure, the external air pressure of the liquid storage chamber 102 is low and the internal air pressure is high. The high internal air pressure will further compress the movable part 11, so that the liquid outlet 103 is better sealed, thereby better preventing the leakage of the e-liquid, for example, when a user carries an electronic cigarette on an airplane, or transports the electronic cigarette by airplane.

Figure 8b As shown, when in use, the elastic bladder is contracted by pressing the second end A, thereby increasing the internal pressure of the liquid storage chamber 102 and causing the smoke oil to flow out of the liquid storage chamber 102. This can solve the problem of negative pressure in the liquid storage chamber 102 and poor smoke oil flow after the smoke oil is reduced.

[0066] See also Figure 9a and Figure 9b Combined with Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, the present invention also provides an atomizer 2, which includes an atomizer component 20, an atomizer shell 21 and any one of the above-mentioned liquid storage components 1, wherein the atomizer component 20 includes a heating element 201 and a liquid buffer portion 200, the liquid buffer portion 200 is arranged upstream of the heating element 201, the liquid buffer portion 200 corresponds to the liquid outlet 103 and the movable part 11, the atomizer shell 21 includes a liquid storage component plug-in seat 211 and an atomizer component mounting seat 210, the first end B of the liquid storage component 1 is inserted into the liquid storage component plug-in seat 211, the liquid storage component 1 can move along the length direction X of the liquid storage shell 10 under the action of external force, the atomizer component 20 is installed in the atomizer component mounting seat 210, and can receive the tobacco oil flowing out from the liquid outlet 103 of the liquid storage component 1 to atomize the tobacco oil.

[0067] See also Figure 9a and Figure 9b Combined with Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the atomizer housing 21 includes a liquid storage component inserting seat 211 and an atomizer component mounting seat 210. The liquid storage component inserting seat 211 is arranged on the upper part of the atomizer component mounting seat 210 along the axial direction of the liquid storage component 1. The first end B of the liquid storage component 1 is inserted into the liquid storage component inserting seat 211 and can move along the length direction X of the liquid storage shell 10 under the action of external force. The atomizer component 20 is installed in the atomizer component mounting seat 210, and the liquid outlet 103 and the movable part 11 correspond to the liquid buffer part 200. See Figure 9b Combined with Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, when the movable member 11 is not in contact with the liquid buffer 200, under the action of the resetting elastic member 12, the movable member 11 and the second protrusion 105 are in contact, so that the liquid outlet 103 is closed, and the tobacco liquid in the liquid storage chamber 102 cannot flow out from the liquid outlet 103. The liquid storage component inserting seat 211 is arranged on the upper part of the atomization component mounting seat 210 along the axial direction of the liquid storage component 1, and the first end B of the liquid storage component 1 is inserted into the liquid storage component inserting seat 211, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

Because the liquid outlet 103 and the movable part 11 correspond to the liquid cache part 200, the tobacco oil flowing out of the liquid outlet 103 can flow into the liquid cache part 200. The liquid cache part 200 is arranged upstream of the heating element 201, and the tobacco oil entering the liquid cache part 200 can penetrate into the heating element 201, and form aerosol after being heated by the heating element 201.

[0069] It should be noted that the liquid buffer part 200 in the present invention is a buffer oil-conducting cotton or porous ceramic. In this embodiment, the liquid buffer part 200 is a buffer oil-conducting cotton. When the movable part 11 contacts the buffer oil-conducting cotton, the buffer oil-conducting cotton will be compressed, so that a concave groove is formed at the place where the buffer oil-conducting cotton contacts the movable part 11, which is more conducive to the buffer oil-conducting cotton to absorb the smoke oil.

[0070] See also Figure 9b Combined with Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, when the liquid storage component 1 moves in a direction away from the liquid cache portion 200, the movable part 11 will gradually leave the liquid cache portion 200, so that the liquid cache portion 200 will gradually expand and absorb more tobacco oil. At the same time, under the action of the reset elastic part 12, the movable part 11 contacts the second protrusion 105, so that the liquid outlet 103 is closed, preventing excessive tobacco oil from flowing out of the liquid storage chamber 102, thereby avoiding tobacco oil leakage.

[0071] The atomizer 2 of the present invention can open and close the liquid outlet 103 by simply moving the liquid storage assembly 1 along the length direction X of the liquid storage shell 10 in the liquid storage assembly 1, which is simple to operate and convenient to use.

Under the action of external force, the liquid storage component 1 can move along the length direction X of the liquid storage shell 10 toward the direction close to the liquid cache part 200. After the external force is removed, the main spring 22 can drive the liquid storage component 1 to move in the direction away from the liquid cache part 200, so that the movable part 11 will gradually leave the liquid cache part 200, and the liquid outlet 103 is automatically closed. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and it is easy to use.

[0073] See also Figure 9a and Figure 9b Combined with Fig.10a , Fig.10b As shown, the atomization assembly 20 of the present invention further includes an atomization chamber 203 and an aerosol outlet 202.

The formed aerosol is located in the atomization chamber 203. When the user inhales through the cigarette holder 311, the aerosol in the atomization chamber 203 flows out of the atomization chamber 203 through the aerosol outlet 202, and flows out of the cigarette holder 311 to be inhaled by the user.

[0074] See also Fig.10a and Fig.10b Combined with Figure 1 to Figure 7 , Figure 9a , Figure 9b As shown, the present invention further provides an electronic cigarette 3, which includes a smoking device main shell 30, a smoking device upper shell 31 and any one of the above-mentioned atomizers 2, wherein the atomizer shell 21 is arranged in the smoking device main shell 30, the smoking device main shell 30 is provided with a limiting groove 300, the smoking device upper shell 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 310 and a mouthpiece 311, the limiting protrusion 310 cooperates with the limiting groove 300, and can be limited in the limiting groove 300 along the length direction X of the liquid storage shell 10 under the action of external force.

When in use, the upper shell 31 of the smoking device is pressed or pushed, and the limiting protrusion 310 on the upper shell 31 of the smoking device will move along the length direction of the electronic cigarette 3 in the limiting groove 300. At this time, the pressing protrusion 313 in the upper shell 31 of the smoking device will press the second end A of the liquid storage component 1, so that the liquid storage component 1 moves with the upper shell 31 of the smoking device.

[0076] When the upper shell 31 of the smoking device moves toward the direction approaching the main shell 30 of the smoking device, the upper shell 31 of the smoking device will move with the liquid storage component 1 toward the direction approaching the atomization component 20, so that the movable part 11 of the liquid storage component 1 is close to the liquid buffer part 200 of the atomization component 20, the main spring 22 and the reset elastic part 12 are both compressed, the liquid outlet 103 is opened, and the tobacco oil in the liquid storage chamber 102 flows into the liquid buffer part 200 through the liquid outlet 103 and the liquid outlet gap 106, and enters the heating body 201 through the liquid buffer part 200. The tobacco oil is heated by the heating body 201 to form aerosol, and enters the atomization chamber 203. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece 211, the aerosol in the atomization chamber 203 flows out of the atomization chamber 203 through the aerosol outlet hole 202, and flows to the mouthpiece 311 from the installation gap 312 provided between the liquid storage shell 10 and the upper shell 31 of the smoking device, and finally flows out from the mouthpiece 311 to be inhaled by the user. It should be noted that the heating body 201 will heat up only when the sensor (not shown in the figure) inside the electronic cigarette 3 senses the change in air pressure inside the electronic cigarette 3 during inhalation. Fig.10a As shown), the movement process stops, at which time, the liquid outlet 103 is opened, and the smoke oil can flow into the liquid buffer 200 through the liquid outlet 103.

[0077] After the external force is removed, the main spring 22 can drive the liquid storage component 1 to move in the direction away from the liquid cache portion 200, so that the movable member 11 will gradually leave the liquid cache portion 200, and the reset elastic member 12 drives the movable member 11 to contact the second protrusion 105, automatically closing the liquid outlet 103, and at the same time, the liquid storage component 1 moves with the upper shell 31 of the smoking device in the direction away from the main shell 30 of the smoking device, when the limiting protrusion 310 on the upper shell 31 of the smoking device moves to the upper limit position of the limiting groove 300 in the limiting groove 300 (such as Fig.10b As shown), the movement process stops, and the liquid storage component 1 and the upper shell 31 of the smoking device are restored to the state before being pressed. The structure of each component is simple, easy to install, convenient to operate and easy to use.

[0078] As described above, the technical solution of the present invention is applied. Since the liquid storage shell 10 of the liquid storage assembly 1 of the present invention is provided with a liquid outlet 103 and a movable part 11, the movable part 11 can move along the extension direction of the liquid outlet 103 under the action of an external force, so that the liquid outlet 103 is closed or opened. When not in use, the movable part 11 closes the liquid outlet 103 to prevent the tobacco oil in the liquid storage chamber 102 from leaking into the electronic cigarette 3, ensuring that the packaging and internal components of the electronic cigarette 3 are not contaminated by the tobacco oil. At the same time, when the liquid storage assembly 1 is located in an environment with low external air pressure, such as when the user takes the electronic cigarette 3 on an airplane, or transports the electronic cigarette 3 by airplane, at this time, the external air pressure of the liquid storage chamber 102 is low, and the internal air pressure is high. The high internal air pressure will further compress the movable part 11, so that the liquid outlet 103 is better sealed, thereby better preventing tobacco oil leakage.
