[0002] Currently, atomizers typically use a silicone rod to separate the aerosol matrix from the atomizing coil within the liquid reservoir. When needed, the user pulls the silicone rod to reconnect the atomizing coil with the aerosol matrix and atomize it. However, this type of atomizer has a complex structure, is difficult to operate, and cannot achieve coordinated operation of the atomizing coil's liquid inlet, air inlet, and electrical circuitry. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] This invention provides an atomizer 100, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the atomizer 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the atomizer 100. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the atomizer in another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of an atomizer according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] The present invention also provides an aerosol generating device, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of an aerosol generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of an aerosol generating device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The aerosol generating device includes an atomizer 100 and a main unit 6. The atomizer 100 can be detachably installed on the main unit 6 by means of snap-fit ​​or magnetic connection. The main unit 6 includes a housing 61 and a main unit electrode 62. Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 61 has a receiving cavity into which the atomizer 100 is inserted. The main electrode 62 is mounted on the housing 61 and disposed within the receiving cavity.

[0026] The atomizer 100 includes a liquid storage chamber 1, a connecting seat 2, an atomizing core 3, a sealing element 4, and an atomizing electrode 5. The liquid storage chamber 1 forms a liquid storage cavity 10 for storing the aerosol matrix. The connecting seat 2 is disposed within the liquid storage cavity 10 and forms a guide channel 20A, a liquid inlet channel 20B, and an air inlet 20. The guide channel 20A communicates with both the liquid storage cavity 10 and the liquid inlet channel 20B. The atomizing core 3 is mounted on the connecting seat 2 and communicates with both the liquid inlet channel 20B and the air inlet 20. The sealing element 4 is movably inserted through the guide channel 20A, with one end of the sealing element 4 blocking the guide channel 20A and the other end blocking the air inlet 20. The atomizing electrode 5 is mounted on the connector 2. The air inlet 20 is used to insert the main electrode 62, allowing the sealing element 4 to move closer to the liquid storage chamber 10. This opens the guide channel 20A and the air inlet 20, electrically connecting the sealing element 4 to both the main electrode 62 and the atomizing electrode 5. After the sealing element 4 opens the guide channel 20A, the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 flows into the inlet channel 20B, and the atomizing core 3 combines with the aerosol matrix in the inlet channel 20B. After the sealing element 4 opens the air inlet 20, outside air can flow into the atomizing core 3. The sealing element 4 is electrically connected to both the main electrode 62 and the atomizing electrode 5; that is, the main electrode 62 is electrically connected to the atomizing electrode 5 through the sealing element 4 and supplies power to the atomizing core 3. The atomizer 100 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Simply install the atomizer 100 onto the main unit 6, and the main unit electrode 62 will be inserted into the air inlet 20. This allows the atomizing core 3 to combine with the aerosol matrix, allows outside air to flow into the atomizing core 3, and allows the atomizing core 3 to be electrically connected to the main unit electrode 62 through the liquid sealing component 4. At the same time, it realizes the linkage of the liquid inlet path, air inlet path and circuit of the atomizing core 3.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the liquid storage chamber 1 is hollowed out to form a liquid storage cavity 10, which is used to store the aerosol matrix. The liquid storage chamber 1 also has an air outlet channel 11, which is connected to the atomizing core 3. The user inhales the aerosol generated after the atomizing core 3 atomizes the aerosol matrix through the air outlet channel 11.

[0028] The connecting seat 2 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 10 and forms a guide channel 20A and a liquid inlet channel 20B. The guide channel 20A is connected to the liquid storage chamber 10 and the liquid inlet channel 20B, respectively. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connecting seat 2 is detachably installed at one end of the atomizing chamber 1 by means of screwing or snap-fit. The connecting seat 2 includes an isolator 21, an inner support 22, and a base plate 23. The isolator 21 is installed on the side of the inner support 22 near the liquid storage chamber 10, and a liquid inlet channel 20B is formed between the isolator 21 and the inner support 22. The isolator 21 has a first through hole 210, and the inner support 22 has a second through hole corresponding to the position of the first through hole 210. The first through hole 210 and the second through hole are directly opposite each other, thereby forming a guide channel 20A. The base plate 23 is installed on the side of the inner support 22 away from the liquid storage chamber 10 and has an air inlet 20. The air inlet 20 is directly opposite to the guide channel 20A and communicates with the atomizing core 3. The atomizing core 3 is installed on the side of the inner support 22 near the liquid storage chamber 10. One end of the sealing component 4 blocks the first through hole 210, and the other end blocks the air inlet 20. The atomizing electrode 5 is installed on the side of the inner bracket 22 near the base plate 23.

[0029] In other implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, a guide ring 221 is also provided on the outer edge of the air inlet 20. The sealing liquid component 4 abuts against the guide ring 221 to block the air inlet 20. The guide ring 221 can be made of rubber. After the main electrode 62 is inserted into the air inlet 20, the guide ring 221 can provide guidance for the main electrode 62 and abut against the main electrode 62 in a sealed manner.

[0030] When the main electrode 62 is inserted into the air inlet 20, the main electrode 62 pushes the sealing component 4 to move closer to the liquid storage chamber 10, so that the sealing component 4 opens the first through hole 210 and the air inlet 20 and is electrically connected to the main electrode 62 and the atomizing electrode 5 respectively. It can be understood that the isolator 21, the inner support 22 and the base plate 23 can be integrally formed, thereby reducing installation steps and reducing production costs.

[0031] It is understandable that the guide channel 20A can intersect with the liquid inlet channel 20B, thus allowing the guide channel 20A to be directly connected to the liquid inlet channel 20B. Alternatively, the guide channel 20A can not intersect with the liquid inlet channel 20B, in which case a connecting channel needs to be provided, that is, the guide channel 20A is indirectly connected to the liquid inlet channel 20B through this connecting channel.

[0032] The connecting base 2 also forms an air intake chamber 24. For example, after the base plate 23 is installed on the inner bracket 22, an air intake chamber 24 is formed between the two, and the air intake chamber 24 communicates with the air intake hole 20 and the atomizing core 3. A sealing element 4 is partially located within the air intake chamber 24, with one end of the sealing element 4 blocking the first through hole 210 and the other end blocking the air intake hole 20. The atomizing electrode 5 is disposed within the air intake chamber 24. When the main electrode 62 is not inserted into the air intake hole 20, the sealing element 4 blocks the first through hole 210 and the air intake hole 20 and disconnects the electrical connection with the atomizing electrode 5.

[0033] When the sealing liquid component 4 is pushed onto the main electrode 62 and the air inlet 20 is opened, outside air can flow into the air inlet chamber 24 through the main electrode 62. For example, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the housing 61 has a first air intake channel 610, and the main electrode 62 has a second air intake channel 620. The first air intake channel 610 and the second air intake channel 620 are connected. After the main electrode 62 opens the air intake hole 20, the second air intake channel 620 is connected to the air intake chamber 24, so that the first air intake channel 610, the second air intake channel 620, the air intake chamber 24 and the atomizing core 3 are connected in sequence, thereby allowing outside air to enter the atomizing core 3 to form an airflow. After the main electrode 62 is inserted into the air intake hole 20, the main electrode 62 pushes the sealing element 4 to move closer to the liquid storage chamber 10, so that the sealing element 4 can open the first through hole 210 and the air intake hole 20, and at the same time, the sealing element 4 can be electrically connected to the main electrode 62 and the atomizing electrode 5 respectively. In short, after the main electrode 62 is inserted into the air inlet 20, the atomizing core 3 can be combined with the aerosol matrix, and outside air can enter the atomizing core 3. The atomizing core 3 can also be electrically connected to the main electrode 62 through the liquid sealing component 4. That is, the atomizer 100 can simultaneously realize the linkage of the liquid inlet path, air inlet path and circuit of the atomizing core 3.

[0034] It is understandable that when the main electrode 62 has a second air intake channel 620, the side of the main electrode 62 near the sealing liquid component 4 can be slotted or perforated, or the end of the sealing liquid component 4 near the main electrode 62 can be slotted, so that the second air intake channel 620 is connected to the air intake chamber 24.

[0035] The atomizing core 3 is mounted on the connecting seat 2 and communicates with the liquid inlet channel 20B. For example, the atomizing core 3 is mounted on the inner support 22 near the liquid storage chamber 10, and includes an installation tube 31 and an atomizing core body 32, with the atomizing core body 32 disposed within the installation tube 31. One end of the installation tube 31 is installed in the liquid storage chamber 1 and communicates with the air outlet channel 11, while the other end is installed in the inner support 22 and communicates with the air inlet chamber 24. The installation tube 31 also forms a liquid inlet hole 311, through which the installation tube 31 communicates with the liquid inlet channel 20B. The atomizing core body 32 includes a liquid guiding element and a heating element. The liquid guiding element can adsorb the aerosol matrix within the liquid inlet channel 20B, and the heating element is used to heat the aerosol matrix adsorbed by the liquid guiding element. The liquid guiding element can be absorbent cotton, porous ceramic, porous metal, porous glass, or other porous structures, and the heating element can be disposed inside the liquid guiding element or on its surface. Figure 2 In the middle, the liquid guiding component is a hollow column.

[0036] The sealing element 4 is movably inserted into the guide channel 20A to block the guide channel 20A. For example, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sealing component 4 includes a sealing body 41 and a conductive body 42. The conductive body 42 is used for electrical connection with the atomizing electrode 5. The conductive body 42 passes through the air inlet 20 into the guide channel 20A and blocks the air inlet 20. The sealing body 41 is connected to the conductive body 42 and blocks the guide channel 20A.

[0037] It is understandable that, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is an exploded structural diagram of the sealing component 4 in another embodiment of the present invention. The sealing component 4 includes a sealing body 41 and a conductive body 42. The sealing body 41 extends from the liquid storage cavity 10 through the guide channel 20A and blocks the guide channel 20A. The conductive body 42 is connected to the sealing body 41 and blocks the air inlet 20. This arrangement prevents the conductive body 42 from contacting the aerosol matrix, thereby avoiding both corrosion of the conductive body 42 by the aerosol matrix and contamination of the aerosol matrix by the corroded conductive body 42.

[0038] The sealing body 41 blocks the guide channel 20A. For example, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the outer diameter of the sealing body 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the first through hole 210. The sealing body 41 is located inside the liquid storage cavity 10 and covers the first through hole 210, thereby sealing the first through hole 210. It can be understood that the outer diameter of the sealing body 41 can also be equal to the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, that is, the sealing body 41 is located inside the first through hole 210, thereby sealing the first through hole 210.

[0039] The conductive body 42 and the sealing body 41 can be plugged into each other. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the sealing body 41 has a mounting groove 410. One end of the conductive body 42 is installed in the mounting groove 410 and fits tightly with the sealing body 41 to prevent the sealing body 41 from falling off the conductive body 42. It can be understood that the sealing body 41 can also be installed on the conductive body 42 by means of screwing, snapping, or bonding. This arrangement can make the sealing body 41 more stable after it is installed on the conductive body 42.

[0040] The conductive body 42 passes through the air inlet 20 and is installed in the guide channel 20A, thus blocking the air inlet 20. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the conductive body 42 includes a conductive part 421 and a guide part 422. The guide part 422 passes through the air inlet 20 and is installed in the guide channel 20A. One end of the guide part 422 is installed in the mounting groove 410 and fits tightly with the sealing body 41, while the other end is connected to the conductive part 421. The conductive part 421 and the guide part 422 are connected and seal the air inlet 20. It should be noted that the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422 can be integrally formed, that is, both the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422 are conductive metals. Alternatively, the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422 can be separately formed, with the conductive part 421 installed on the guide part 422 by means of screwing, snapping, or bonding. This allows the guide part 422 to be non-metallic, preventing the aerosol matrix from corroding the guide part 422.

[0041] It should be noted that when the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422 are separately formed, an elastic connector or a flexible connector may be provided between the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422. The elastic connector or the flexible connector connects the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422 respectively. That is, there is a certain distance between the conductive part 421 and the guide part 422. The conductive part 421 will only come into contact with the guide part 422 and push the guide part 422 upward after it moves up a certain distance.

[0042] A gap is formed between the guide portion 422 and the first through hole 210. When the sealing body 41 opens the first through hole 210, the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 flows into the liquid inlet channel 20B through this gap. The outer diameter of the guide portion 422 can be less than or equal to the inner diameter of the first through hole 210. When the outer diameter of the guide portion 422 is equal to the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, it is necessary to groove the side of the guide portion 422 to form a gap between the guide portion 422 and the first through hole 210. When the outer diameter of the guide portion 422 is less than the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, it is not necessary to groove the side of the guide portion 422, and a gap is directly formed between the guide portion 422 and the first through hole 210.

[0043] Understandably, the size of the gap can be set according to actual needs, thereby controlling the weight and speed of the aerosol matrix flowing into the inlet channel 20B from the storage chamber 10. For example, when the outer diameters of the guide portion 422 at its upper and lower positions are the same, the size of the gap can be controlled by controlling the outer diameter of the guide portion. When the outer diameters of the guide portion 422 at its upper and lower positions are not the same—that is, the further away from the sealing body 41, the smaller the outer diameter of the guide portion 422, or the further away from the sealing body 41, the larger the outer diameter of the guide portion 422—the gap size will vary depending on the position of the guide portion 422 within the first through hole 210, thus allowing for more flexible control of the gap size. It should be noted that the position of the guide portion 422 within the first through hole 210, i.e., the size of the gap, can be controlled by the host electrode 62. For example, the host electrode 62 may have a first limiting point and a second limiting point, the base plate 23 may have a receiving groove to accommodate the first limiting point, and the second limiting point may be further away from the base plate 23 than the first limiting point. Under normal circumstances, the first limiting point abuts against the bottom of the base plate 23, thereby placing the guide portion 422 in the first through hole 210 in the first position. When the second limiting point is required, the atomizer needs to be pressed down so that the first limiting point is received into the receiving groove, and the second limiting point abuts against the bottom of the base plate 23, thereby placing the guide portion 422 in the second position within the first through hole 210.

[0044] It is understandable that when the outer diameter of the sealing body 41 is greater than the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, and the outer diameter of the guide part 422 is equal to the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, it is not necessary to perform groove processing on the side of the guide part 422. Only the isolation member 21 needs to be perforated. The aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 can flow into the liquid inlet channel 20B through the hole, and the sealing body 41 can cover the hole.

[0045] The guide portion 422 is sealed through the second through hole to prevent the aerosol matrix in the liquid inlet channel 20B from flowing out. For example, the guide portion 422 is provided with a seal 4221 so that the guide portion 422 is sealed through the second through hole, and the guide portion 422 can move along the second through hole, that is, the second through hole provides a guiding function for the movement of the liquid sealing member 4.

[0046] The atomizing electrode 5 is mounted on the connector 2. For example, the atomizing electrode 5 is mounted on the side of the inner bracket near the base plate 23. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing electrode 5 is annular and surrounds the guide portion 422 at intervals. When the main electrode 62 is not inserted into the air inlet 20, the atomizing electrode 5 and the conductive portion 421 are spaced apart. When the main electrode 62 is inserted into the air inlet 20, the main electrode 62 pushes the sealing component 4 to move closer to the liquid storage chamber 10, so that the conductive portion 421 abuts against and is electrically connected to the atomizing electrode 5.

[0047] The atomizing core 3 is electrically connected to the atomizing electrode 5. For example, the heating element has two pins, one end of which is electrically connected to the atomizing electrode 5, and the other end is electrically connected to the heating element.

[0048] In other implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the atomizing electrode 5 is mounted on the connector 2 and has an air inlet 20. The sealing element 4 abuts against the atomizing electrode 5 and seals the air inlet 20. The main electrode 62 can be inserted into the air inlet 20 and electrically connected to the atomizing electrode 5, and push the sealing element 4 upward. The sealing element 4 may not have a conductive function.

[0049] The atomizer 100 also includes a resilient member 7, which abuts against the connector 2 and the sealing member 4. The resilient member 7 is used to reset the moved sealing member 4 so that the sealing member 4 blocks the first through hole 210 and the air inlet 20 and disconnects the electrical connection from the atomizing electrode 5. For example, the resilient member 7 is installed on the side of the guide portion 422 near the conductive portion 421, and one end of the resilient member 7 abuts against the conductive portion 421, while the other end abuts against the inner bracket 22. The elastic recovery component 7 can reset the liquid sealing component 4 after it has been activated. That is, when the main electrode 62 is inserted into the air inlet 20, the liquid sealing component 4 opens the first through hole 210 to allow the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 to flow into the liquid inlet channel 20B, thereby realizing the combination of the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 and the atomizing core 3. The two ends of the conductive part 421 abut against the atomizing electrode 5 and the main electrode 62 respectively to realize electrical connection. Moreover, after the conductive part 421 opens the air inlet 20, outside air can enter the atomizing core 3 in sequence through the first air inlet channel 610, the second air inlet channel 620 and the air inlet chamber 24. When the main electrode 62 leaves the air inlet 20, the elastic recovery component 7 resets the moved sealing component 4, so that the sealing body 41 blocks the first through hole 210, the conductive part 421 disconnects from the atomizing electrode 5 and blocks the air inlet 20, thus achieving the separation of the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 from the atomizing core 3, the disconnection of the sealing component 4 from the atomizing electrode 5, and the prevention of outside air from entering the atomizing core 3. The elastic recovery component 7 can repeatedly separate and combine the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 from the atomizing core 3, so that there will not be a large amount of aerosol matrix in the liquid inlet channel 20B, and the aerosol matrix in the atomizing core 3 will not accumulate (if too much aerosol matrix accumulates in the atomizing core 3, some aerosol matrix may be carried out by the airflow and inhaled by the user without being atomized), thus ensuring that the concentration of aerosol inhaled by the user is moderate and the taste is good, resulting in a good user experience. Furthermore, the aerosol matrix will not leak out from the atomizing core 3, ensuring high safety for the atomizer 100. The elastic recovery element 7 allows for repeated disconnection and connection between the sealing element 4 and the atomizing electrode 5, preventing the main unit electrode 62 from supplying power to the atomizing core 3 when it is not bonded to the aerosol matrix, thus preventing the atomizing core 3 from being in a dry-burning state and improving the safety of the atomizer 100. The elastic recovery element 7 also allows for repeated opening and closing of the air inlet 20, preventing foreign objects from entering the atomizer 100.

[0050] It should be noted that the atomizer 100 may not have the elastic recovery element 7; instead, the sealing element 4 can be a magnetic element used for magnetic connection with the main electrode 62. When the main electrode 62 leaves the air inlet 20, the main electrode 62 is magnetically connected to the magnetic element, causing the magnetic element to reset. It can be understood that when the outer diameter of the sealing body 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, after the sealing body 41 seals the first through hole 210, it abuts against the isolator 21, causing the magnetic element to separate from the main electrode 62. When the outer diameter of the sealing body 41 is equal to the inner diameter of the first through hole 210, and the outer diameter of the conductive part 421 is larger than the inner diameter of the air inlet 20, after the sealing body 41 seals the first through hole 210, the conductive part 421 abuts against the base plate 23, causing the magnetic element to separate from the main electrode 62.

[0051] It is understandable that the magnetic component may not be magnetically connected to the main electrode 62, but rather magnetically connected to the connector 2. For example, the magnetic component may be magnetically connected to the isolator 21 and / or the base plate 23, i.e., the sealing body 41 is magnetically connected to the isolator 21 and / or the conductive part 421 is magnetically connected to the base plate 23. Thus, when the main electrode 62 leaves the air inlet 20, the magnetic component can be reset by generating a force through attraction between opposite poles of the magnetic component and the isolator 21 and / or the base plate 23. Alternatively, the conductive part 421 and the inner support 22 may be made to repel each other, generating a repulsive force to reset the magnetic component.

[0052] The atomizer 100 also includes a liquid collection chamber 8, which is mounted on the connector 2 and used to receive the aerosol matrix leaking from the atomizing coil 3. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid collection chamber 8 is located directly below the atomizing core 3 and mounted on the base plate 23. Unatomized aerosol matrix from the atomizing core 3 will drip out due to gravity, contaminating the atomizer 100 and the main unit 6. However, the liquid collection chamber 8 can collect the aerosol matrix leaking from the atomizing core 3, preventing contamination of the atomizer 100 and the main unit 6. It is understood that the base plate 23 can also form a liquid outlet hole corresponding to the position of the liquid collection chamber 8, with a rubber stopper inside. When the aerosol matrix collected in the liquid collection chamber 8 is about to overflow, the rubber stopper can be removed to allow the aerosol matrix in the liquid collection chamber 8 to flow out.

[0053] It should be noted that oil-absorbing cotton can also be installed inside the liquid collection chamber 8, which allows the liquid collection chamber 8 to collect more aerosol matrix. Users can also remove or replace the oil-absorbing cotton through the liquid outlet.

[0054] The housing 61 forms a receiving space 611, and the main unit 6 also includes a power supply assembly 63, which is disposed within the receiving space 611 and electrically connected to the main unit electrode 62. For example, the power supply assembly 63 includes a battery 631 and a circuit board 632, with the circuit board 632 electrically connected to the battery 631 and the main unit electrode 62 electrically connected to the circuit board 632.

[0055] In other implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the power assembly 63 may further include a charging tail plate 633, on which a charging interface 6331 is provided, and the charging tail plate 633 is electrically connected to the battery 631. The housing 61 has a mounting hole 614 corresponding to the position of the charging interface 6331, and the charging interface 6331 is disposed within the mounting hole. Users can charge the battery 631 through the charging interface 6331, allowing the main unit 6 to be reused and preventing resource waste.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the main unit 6 also includes a microphone 64, and the housing 61 further forms a detection chamber 612 and a microphone air passage 613. The microphone 64 is installed in the detection chamber 612 and electrically connected to the circuit board 632. The microphone air passage 613 communicates with both the detection chamber 612 and the second air intake channel 620. The microphone 64 is used to detect whether airflow is generated in the second air intake channel 620. Only when the microphone 64 detects airflow generated in the second air intake channel 620 will the microphone 64 activate the battery 631 to supply power to the atomizer 100.

[0057] Compared with related technologies, the atomizer 100 provided in this application has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Simply inserting the main electrode 62 into the air inlet 20 allows the atomizing core 3 to combine with the aerosol matrix, allows outside air to flow into the atomizing core 3, and enables the atomizing core 3 to be electrically connected to the main electrode 62 via the sealing element 4. Simultaneously, it achieves the linkage of the liquid inlet path, air inlet path, and circuit of the atomizing core 3. Furthermore, by setting an elastic recovery element 7 or making the sealing element 4 a magnetic element, the atomizer 100 can repeatedly separate and combine the aerosol matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 with the atomizing core 3. This prevents a large amount of aerosol matrix from existing in the liquid inlet channel 20B and avoids aerosol matrix accumulation in the atomizing core 3 (excessive aerosol matrix accumulation in the atomizing core 3 may result in some aerosol matrix being carried out by the airflow and inhaled by the user without being atomized). This ensures that the user inhales a moderate concentration of aerosol with a good taste, resulting in a better user experience. Furthermore, the aerosol matrix will not leak out from the atomizing core 3, ensuring high safety for the atomizer 100. The elastic recovery element 7 allows for repeated switching of the electrical connection between the sealing element 4 and the atomizing electrode 5, preventing the main unit electrode 62 from supplying power to the atomizing core 3 when it is not bonded to the aerosol matrix, thus preventing the atomizing core 3 from being in a dry-burning state and improving the safety and reliability of the atomizer 100. The elastic recovery element 7 also allows for repeated opening and closing of the air inlet 20, preventing foreign objects from entering the atomizer 100.
