Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic cigarette mouthpiece cleaning technology, and in particular to a mouthpiece assembly and an electronic cigarette having the mouthpiece assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic atomizers, also known as virtual cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or vaporizers, have a similar taste to traditional cigarettes. They are primarily used to simulate the sensation of smoking without compromising health, serving as a means of quitting or replacing cigarettes. Electronic atomizers typically consist of a mouthpiece, a liquid reservoir, an atomizing assembly, and a battery. The liquid reservoir stores the atomizable liquid; the atomizing assembly usually consists of a heating element and a liquid guide. The heating element is positioned on top of the liquid guide, which contacts the reservoir, absorbing the atomizable liquid and transferring it to the heating element for heating and atomization into inhalable vapor. The battery provides the energy needed to heat the heating element. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece, outside air enters the atomizing assembly and, along with the atomized vapor, enters the user's mouth through the mouthpiece for inhalation.

[0003] However, existing disposable or replaceable e-cigarettes typically have their mouthpieces exposed on the outside of the device. When users finish using the device and leave it outdoors or in their backpacks, the mouthpiece can easily become contaminated, affecting subsequent use and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, patent document CN207707303U discloses an atomizing structure for an electronic cigarette, relating to the field of electronic cigarettes. The structure includes a base, an oil reservoir, and a mouthpiece assembly. The mouthpiece assembly comprises a top cover, a mouthpiece, and a pivot. The mouthpiece is rotatably connected to the top cover via the pivot, and the top cover has a mouthpiece groove for accommodating the mouthpiece. The oil reservoir is detachably connected to both the mouthpiece assembly and the base, allowing for replacement of the consumable oil reservoir without discarding the mouthpiece assembly, thus saving on the cost of using electronic cigarettes. The mouthpiece is rotatably connected to the top cover via the pivot, allowing it to rotate along the pivot to enter or exit the mouthpiece groove. When not in use, the mouthpiece can be stored in the mouthpiece groove, maintaining its cleanliness and hygiene. While this technical solution allows for mouthpiece storage, it does not clean the mouthpiece, therefore it does not completely solve the problem of the mouthpiece being easily contaminated, affecting the subsequent user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mouthpiece assembly and an electronic cigarette that can store and clean the mouthpiece.

[0006] The present invention provides a suction nozzle assembly, the suction nozzle assembly including a base, a suction nozzle body, a rotating mechanism disposed between the base and the suction nozzle body, a wiping cover assembly disposed on the suction nozzle body, and a cleaning component for cleaning the suction nozzle body; the base is provided with a storage groove for receiving the suction nozzle body, and the suction nozzle body is rotatably disposed on the base via the rotating mechanism; one end of the wiping cover assembly is slidably disposed and is used to drive the cleaning component to slide on the suction nozzle body.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning component also includes a side wall cleaning component or a bottom cleaning component.

When the nozzle body rotates towards the storage groove and is stored, the end cleaning component abuts and rubs against the end of the nozzle body with the air outlet to perform cleaning.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is provided with a connection channel, and when the nozzle body is stored in the storage slot, the nozzle air passage and the connection channel are disconnected.

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning component is annular and sleeved on the nozzle body, and the cleaning component is connected to the wiping cover assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly includes a connecting structure that is connected to the cleaning component for installing and removing the cleaning component.

[0012] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly also includes a cleaning mechanism, which includes a liquid tank for storing cleaning fluid and a pressure assembly for delivering the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component, one end of which is connected to the liquid tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the liquid chamber is disposed on the nozzle body, and the side wall of the liquid chamber is provided with a liquid guide hole for connecting to the cleaning component.

[0014] Furthermore, the liquid reservoir is disposed on the base and located on one side of the storage slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure assembly also includes a first contact disposed on the nozzle body and a second contact disposed in the storage groove. When the nozzle body is stored in the storage groove, the first contact and the second contact are electrically connected to generate an electrical signal, controlling the pressure assembly to work to deliver the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component.

[0016] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly includes a locking mechanism disposed between the wiping cover assembly and the base, for cooperating with the wiping cover assembly to restrict the nozzle body within the storage slot.

[0017] Furthermore, the wiping cover assembly includes a storage cover and a cover body disposed on the suction nozzle body, wherein a sliding groove is formed between the storage cover and the suction nozzle body to accommodate the cover body, and the cover body is slidably disposed within the sliding groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a plug-in portion disposed between the cover body and the base and a slot disposed corresponding to the plug-in portion. When the nozzle body is stored in the storage slot, the cover body is slid to the end of the nozzle body and the plug-in portion is inserted into the slot, thereby restricting the nozzle body within the storage slot.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0021] 1. The present invention rotatably mounts the nozzle body on the base via the rotating mechanism, thereby storing the nozzle body in the storage groove of the base. By controlling the slidable end of the wiping cover assembly in conjunction with the locking mechanism, the nozzle body can be restricted within the storage groove. Simultaneously, during the sliding process of the slidable end of the wiping cover assembly, the wiping cover assembly drives the cleaning component to wipe the outer surface of the nozzle body, thereby cleaning the sidewall of the nozzle body.

[0022] 2. The present invention provides an end cleaning component on one side wall of the storage groove. When the nozzle body rotates towards the storage groove and is stored, the end cleaning component abuts and rubs against the nozzle body to clean it, thereby cleaning the outer periphery of the air outlet and improving the cleaning effect on the nozzle body.

[0023] 3. The present invention provides a liquid tank for storing cleaning fluid and a pressure component for delivering the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component. When the nozzle body is stored in the storage groove, an electrical signal is generated between the first contact and the second contact to control the pressure component to deliver the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component. The cleaning fluid spreads on the cleaning component. In this way, the cleaning fluid can be automatically sprayed during the process of retracting the nozzle body, further improving the cleaning effect on the nozzle body. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0038] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification and claims of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0039] First embodiment.

[0040] Please see Figures 1-10 An electronic cigarette includes a mouthpiece assembly 1 and an atomizing assembly 8 for generating an aerosol. The atomizing assembly 8 is provided with an airflow channel 81 for delivering the aerosol. The mouthpiece assembly 1 includes a mouthpiece air passage 31 and an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312 respectively disposed at both ends of the mouthpiece air passage 31. The mouthpiece assembly 1 is mounted on the atomizing assembly 8 and the mouthpiece air passage 31 is connected to the airflow channel 81.

[0041] Please see Figures 1-3 and Figure 5The nozzle assembly 1 includes a base 2, a nozzle body 3, a rotating mechanism disposed between the base 2 and the nozzle body 3, a wiping cover assembly 5 slidably disposed on the nozzle body 3, and a cleaning component for cleaning the nozzle body 3; the base 2 is provided with a storage groove 21 for storing the nozzle body 3, and the nozzle body 3 is rotatably disposed on the base 2 via the rotating mechanism; one end of the wiping cover assembly 5 is slidably disposed and is used to drive the cleaning component to slide on the nozzle body 3.

[0042] Furthermore, when the nozzle body 3 is housed in the storage slot 21, the nozzle air passage 31 and the airflow channel 81 are disconnected. The nozzle assembly 1 includes an open state and a retracted state; when the nozzle assembly 1 is in the open state, the nozzle air passage 31 is connected to the airflow channel 81; when the nozzle assembly 1 is in the retracted state, the nozzle air passage 31 is disconnected from the airflow channel 81.

[0043] Specifically, the atomizing component 8 includes a controller, a heating atomizing mechanism, an atomizable medium, and a battery. The battery provides power to the controller and the heating atomizing mechanism. The heating atomizing mechanism is connected to the airflow channel 81. When using the electronic cigarette, the heating atomizing mechanism heats the atomizable medium to generate an aerosol. The aerosol enters the airflow channel 81 and flows out from the mouthpiece air passage 31 for the user to inhale.

[0044] It should be noted that, Figure 6 Only the airflow channel 81 is shown in the figure; the controller, heating atomizing mechanism, atomizable medium, and battery are not shown. The controller is a control chip commonly used in electronic cigarettes in the prior art, and the battery can be a lithium battery or other commonly used lithium battery in the prior art. The heating atomizing mechanism is a heating atomizing device commonly used in electronic cigarettes in the prior art, and the atomizable medium is e-liquid in the prior art.

[0045] Specifically, a locking structure is provided between the base 2 and the atomizing component 8, and the base 2 is mounted on the atomizing component 8 through the locking structure; in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The bottom edge of the base 2 is recessed to form a groove structure, and the top surface of the atomizing component 8 is provided with a corresponding protrusion structure. The base 2 is snapped onto the atomizing component 8 by the cooperation of the protrusion structure and the groove structure.

[0046] The above configuration allows the nozzle body 3 to be rotatably mounted on the base 2 via the rotating mechanism, thereby storing the nozzle body 3 in the storage groove 21 of the base 2. By controlling the sliding end of the wiping cover assembly 5 in conjunction with the locking mechanism, the nozzle body 3 can be restricted within the storage groove 21. Simultaneously, during the sliding process, the wiping cover assembly 5 drives the cleaning component to wipe the outer surface of the nozzle body 3, thereby cleaning the top wall of the nozzle body 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the nozzle assembly includes a connecting structure that is connected to the cleaning component and is used for installing and removing the cleaning component.

[0048] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The cleaning component further includes a sidewall cleaning component 43, which is disposed on the left and right sidewalls along the length of the storage groove 21. When the suction nozzle body 3 rotates towards the storage groove 21 and is retracted, the sidewall cleaning component 43 abuts and rubs against the suction nozzle body 3 to perform cleaning. The cleaning component is a flexible material with a porous structure, such as cotton, sponge, foam, or cloth. In this embodiment, the connecting structure for mounting the sidewall cleaning component 43 is a groove structure corresponding to the size of the sidewall cleaning component 43, and the connecting structure is formed from the recess in the sidewall of the storage groove 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-5 as well as Figure 10 The cleaning component includes a bottom cleaning component 44, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the storage groove 21. When the nozzle body 3 is stored in the storage groove 21, the cleaning component on the bottom surface of the storage groove 21 abuts against the nozzle body 3. Thus, when the nozzle body 3 is rotated from the open state to the stored state, the bottom surface of the nozzle body 3 can be cleaned by the bottom cleaning component 44. In this embodiment, the connecting structure for mounting the bottom cleaning component 44 is a groove structure corresponding to the size of the bottom cleaning component 44, and the connecting structure is formed by recessing from the bottom surface of the storage groove 21.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 10The suction nozzle body 3 is provided with a suction nozzle air passage 31 and an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312 located at both ends of the suction nozzle air passage 31, respectively. The cleaning component includes a top cleaning component 41 and an end cleaning component 42. The top cleaning component 41 is disposed on the side of the wiping cover assembly 5 near the suction nozzle body 3 and is connected to the connecting structure and the wiping cover assembly. The end cleaning component 42 is disposed on one side wall of the storage groove 21. When the suction nozzle body 3 rotates towards the storage groove 21 and is stored, the end cleaning component 42 abuts and rubs against the end of the suction nozzle body 3 with the air outlet 312 to perform cleaning. In this embodiment, the connecting structure for installing the end cleaning component 42 is a groove structure with a corresponding size to the end cleaning component 42, and the connecting structure is recessed from the side wall of the storage groove 21.

[0051] The above configuration, by providing an end cleaning component 42 on one side wall of the storage groove 21, allows the end cleaning component 42 to abut and rub against the nozzle body 3 when the nozzle body 3 rotates toward the storage groove 21 for storage, thereby cleaning the outer periphery of the air outlet 312, increasing the cleaning range of the nozzle body 3, and improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0052] Further, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The base 2 is provided with a connecting channel 22. When the nozzle body is stored in the storage slot, the nozzle air passage and the connecting channel are disconnected. That is, when the nozzle assembly 1 is in the open state, one end of the connecting channel 22 is connected to the air inlet 311, and the other end is connected to the airflow passage 81; when the nozzle assembly 1 is in the stored state, the connecting channel 22 and the air inlet 311 are disconnected.

[0053] In this embodiment, the nozzle body 3 is similar to a cuboid structure. The nozzle body 3 has four sides along its length. Therefore, the side wall cleaning component 43 is provided on the left and right sides of the nozzle body 3, the top surface cleaning component 41 is provided on the top surface of the nozzle body 3, and the bottom surface cleaning component 44 is provided on the bottom surface of the nozzle body 3. The air inlet 311 and the air outlet 312 are provided at the two opposite ends of the nozzle body. The nozzle body 3 has an arc structure at the end where the air inlet 311 is located.

[0054] In other embodiments, the cross-section of the nozzle body 3 is circular, elliptical, or other irregularly shaped. In this case, the shape of the top cleaning component 41 corresponds to the shape of the upper end of the cross-section of the nozzle body 3; the shape of the side wall cleaning component 43 corresponds to the shape of the left and right sides of the cross-section of the nozzle body 3; and the bottom cleaning component 44 corresponds to the shape of the lower end of the cross-section of the nozzle body 3. The purpose of the above arrangement is to enable the top cleaning component 41, the side wall cleaning component 43, and the bottom cleaning component 44 to better clean the outer side wall of the nozzle body 3.

[0055] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 The base 2 has an arc-shaped groove 23 and a connecting channel 22 on one side of the storage groove 21; one end of the nozzle body 3 is hinged to the base 2, and the end with the air inlet 311 is rotatably disposed on the arc-shaped groove 23; one end of the connecting channel 22 is disposed on the arc-shaped groove 23, and the other end is used to collect and transport the condensate generated by the nozzle air passage 31.

[0056] Specifically, the atomizing component 8 and the airflow channel 81 are also provided with a condensation sponge (not shown in the figure) for collecting condensate at the end away from the base 2.

[0057] With the above configuration, after prolonged use of electronic cigarettes, condensate will be generated in the mouthpiece air passage 31. When the mouthpiece body 3 is rotated and stored in the storage groove 21, the opening of the connecting channel 22 on the arc groove 23 can scrape the condensate at the air inlet 311 and collect it, and then transport it to the condensation cotton.

[0058] Specifically, the storage groove 21 is recessed inward from the top surface of the base 2.

[0059] Specifically, the rotating mechanism includes a hinge shaft 34 and a hinge groove. The hinge shaft 34 is respectively disposed at one end of the nozzle body 3 near the air inlet 311 and on both sides of the nozzle body 3 in the length direction. The hinge groove is disposed on the side wall of the storage groove 21 corresponding to the hinge shaft 34.

[0060] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly includes a connecting structure 35, one end of which is connected to the cleaning component for installing and removing the cleaning component. This allows for quick installation and removal of the cleaning component.

[0061] Specifically, the connecting structure can be a groove structure, a protrusion structure, or a clamping structure such as a clip for installing the cleaning component; in addition, the connecting structure can also be a plug-in structure comprising two parts, one part of which is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the storage groove 21, and the other part of which is fixedly disposed on the cleaning component. Through the cooperation of the plug-in structure, the cleaning component can be quickly installed on the inner side wall of the storage groove.

[0062] Further, please refer to Figures 3-4 as well as Figures 6-10 The nozzle assembly 1 also includes a cleaning mechanism, which includes a liquid tank 32 for storing cleaning fluid and a pressure assembly for delivering the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component. One end of the pressure assembly is connected to the liquid tank 32.

[0063] Specifically, the pressure assembly includes a pump body 7 and a pump tube body. The pump assembly is fixedly connected to the nozzle body 3, and the pump tube body is connected to the pump assembly. The cleaning fluid is a liquid with cleaning or disinfecting functions, such as alcohol. Thus, under the action of the pressure assembly, the cleaning fluid can be delivered to the cleaning component, thereby better cleaning the nozzle body 3.

[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The liquid tank 32 is disposed on the nozzle body 3. The side wall of the liquid tank 32 is provided with a liquid guide hole for connecting the cleaning component. The pressure component pressurizes the liquid tank 32 to allow the cleaning liquid to enter the cleaning component from the liquid guide hole.

[0065] In this embodiment, the pump body 7 is a pressure pump. The pump body 7 draws in external air and delivers the gas to the liquid chamber 32 through the pump pipe, thereby increasing the air pressure in the liquid chamber 32. As a result, the cleaning liquid in the liquid chamber 32 flows out from the liquid guide hole and flows to the cleaning component.

[0066] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 The liquid guiding holes include two first liquid guiding holes 321 and a plurality of spaced second liquid guiding holes 322. The first liquid guiding holes 321 are respectively disposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the nozzle body 3 and are connected to the liquid tank 32. The plurality of second liquid guiding holes 322 are equidistantly spaced on the side surface of the nozzle body 3. A liquid guiding channel 323 is provided between the first liquid guiding holes 321 and the second liquid guiding holes 322. The second liquid guiding holes 322 are formed through the side wall of the liquid guiding channel 323 and are connected to the liquid tank 32 through the liquid guiding channel 323 and the first liquid guiding holes 321.

[0067] When the pump assembly operates, it pressurizes the liquid tank 32, allowing the cleaning fluid flowing from the first liquid guide hole 321 to be delivered to the top cleaning component 41 and the bottom cleaning component 44 respectively. Simultaneously, the cleaning fluid flows out from the first liquid guide hole 321 on the top surface of the nozzle body 3, passes through the liquid guide channel 323, and is delivered to the second liquid guide hole 322. The cleaning fluid flowing from the second liquid guide hole 322 is then delivered to the side wall cleaning component 43, allowing the side wall cleaning component 43 to absorb the cleaning fluid. The controller has a timing function, preset with instructions to control the duration of each pump assembly operation. The pump assembly stops operating after the preset duration, completing the current instruction, thus controlling the amount of cleaning fluid sprayed each time.

[0068] More specifically, when the nozzle assembly 1 is in the retracted state, the side wall cleaning member 43 abuts against the end cleaning member 42, and the top surface cleaning member 41 abuts against the end cleaning member 42. Thus, the cleaning liquid can be delivered from the side wall cleaning member 43 and the top surface cleaning member 41 to the end cleaning member 42, thereby enabling the top surface cleaning member 41, the side wall cleaning member 43, the bottom surface cleaning member 44, and the end cleaning member 42 to absorb the cleaning liquid and improve the cleaning effect on all surfaces of the nozzle body 3 that come into contact with the user's mouth.

[0069] The liquid chamber 32 is provided in two parts, the suction air passage 31 is located in the middle of the suction body 3, and the two liquid chambers 32 are respectively located on both sides of the suction air passage 31.

[0070] Specifically, the first liquid guide hole 321 is also provided with a nozzle and / or a one-way valve, which can improve the utilization rate of the cleaning liquid and enable the cleaning liquid to be sprayed better on the top surface cleaning component 41 and the bottom surface cleaning component 44.

[0071] Specifically, the liquid tank 32 is also provided with an injection hole and a sealing plug for sealing the injection hole. After opening the sealing plug, cleaning fluid can be added to the liquid tank 32 through the injection hole, so that the suction nozzle assembly 1 can be reused.

[0072] In another embodiment, the pump body 7 is a pumping pump, which draws the cleaning liquid from the liquid tank 32 through the pump pipe and delivers the cleaning liquid to the cleaning component through the pump pipe.

[0073] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the liquid reservoir 32 may also be disposed on the base 2 and located on one side of the storage groove 21. Specifically, the liquid reservoir 32 is hollowly formed inside the side wall of the storage groove 21 and is distributed around the perimeter of the storage groove 21.

[0074] Further, please refer to Figure 3 The pressure assembly also includes a first contact 61 disposed on the nozzle body 3 and a second contact 62 disposed in the receiving groove 21; Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the nozzle assembly 1 in its retracted state. As can be seen from the figure, the first contact 61 and the second contact 62 are connected at this time. Therefore, when the nozzle body 3 is retracted into the storage groove 21, the first contact 61 and the second contact 62 are electrically connected to generate an electrical signal, which controls the pressure assembly to work and deliver the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component.

[0075] Specifically, the controller is electrically connected to the pump assembly, the first contact 61 and the second contact 62 to form an electrical circuit, and the battery is used to provide power to the pump assembly and the controller.

[0076] For more specific details, please refer to Figure 3 The first contact 61 is arc-shaped on the side that contacts the second contact 62, and the side of the second contact 62 that contacts the first contact 61 is arc-shaped, so that when the suction nozzle body 3 is rotated and retracted, the first contact 61 and the second contact 62 can smoothly contact and establish an electrical connection.

[0077] With the above configuration, when the first contact 61 and the second contact 62 are electrically connected, that is, when the nozzle body 3 rotates and is completely stored in the storage groove 21, the controller can detect the electrical signal generated by the electrical connection between the two, and then the controller controls the pump assembly to execute the working command to spray cleaning liquid onto the cleaning component. After the pump assembly has worked for a preset time, it completes the working command and stops spraying cleaning liquid.

[0078] Furthermore, the suction nozzle assembly 1 includes a locking mechanism disposed between the wiping cover assembly 5 and the base 2, for cooperating with the wiping cover assembly 5 to restrict the suction nozzle body 3 within the storage groove 21.

[0079] With the above settings, after using the electronic cigarette, the mouthpiece body 3 can be locked by the locking mechanism and the wiping cover assembly 5. The mouthpiece body 3 can be cleaned in time during the rotation and retraction of the mouthpiece body 3 and during the sliding of the wiping cover, making it cleaner and more hygienic.

[0080] Further, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9The wiping cover assembly 5 includes a storage cover 52 and a cover body 51 disposed on the suction nozzle body 3. A sliding groove 33 is formed between the storage cover 52 and the suction nozzle body 3 to accommodate the cover body 51. The cover body 51 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 33.

[0081] Specifically, the cover body 51 is provided with a connecting structure, and the cleaning component is moved to slide on the nozzle body 3 by sliding the cover body 51 to perform cleaning.

[0082] In this embodiment, the connecting structure is a protruding structure that extends from one end of the cover body 51 near the sliding groove 33 and from the side of the cover body 51 near the nozzle body 3 toward the nozzle body, thereby enabling the cleaning component to move when the cover body 51 slides.

[0083] The above configuration, by providing a storage cover 52 on the nozzle body 3, forms a sliding groove 33 that can accommodate the cover body 51. The sliding groove can guide the cover body 51, and when the nozzle body 3 is used, the cover body 51 can be stored in the sliding groove 33.

[0084] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The locking mechanism includes a plug-in portion 53 disposed between the wiping cover assembly 5 and the base 2 and a slot 211 disposed corresponding to the plug-in portion 53. When the suction nozzle body 3 is stored in the storage slot 21, the wiping cover assembly 5 is slid to the end of the suction nozzle body 3 and the plug-in portion 53 is inserted into the slot 211, thereby restricting the suction nozzle body 3 within the storage slot 21.

[0085] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 The insertion portion 53 is formed at the end of the cover body 51; please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The slot 211 is integrally formed on the inner sidewall of the storage slot 21 and is located above the end cleaning member 42.

[0086] Specifically, please refer to Figure 9 The cover body 51 is provided with a first limiting structure for preventing it from disengaging from the sliding groove 33; the first limiting structure is disposed at one end of the cover body 51 near the sliding groove 33, and extends from the side of the cover body 51 away from the nozzle body 3 in a direction away from the nozzle body 3.
