Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to a method for manufacturing an atomization structure and the atomization structure itself. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, atomizing structures vaporize e-liquid through heating, and the gaseous e-liquid is used by people.

[0003] In related technologies, an atomizing structure generally includes an installation tube, an oil guide, and a heating component. The installation tube is mostly made of steel, and an oil inlet is provided on the side wall of the installation tube. During the manufacturing process of the atomizing structure, the oil guide is first rolled around the heating component along the outside of the heating component, at which point the outer diameter of the oil guide is larger than the inner diameter of the installation tube. Then, the heating component and the oil guide are inserted into the installation tube, with the oil guide placed at the oil inlet. The inner side wall of the installation tube clamps the oil guide, thus completing the installation process of the atomizing structure.

[0004] In the above process, the inner diameter of the mounting tube and the outer diameter of the oil guide are interference-fitted, so that the inner side wall of the mounting tube can clamp the oil guide along the outer side wall of the oil guide. During the operation of the heating component, smoke oil will flow through the oil guide, which may reduce the extensibility of the oil guide. At the same time, the outer side wall of the oil guide becomes smoother, which may eventually cause the oil guide to slide relative to the mounting tube. Summary of the Invention

[0016] In some embodiments, the method of manufacturing the atomizing structure further includes: providing a sleeve, the inner diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the mounting tube;

[0017] The sleeve is fitted onto the outer wall of the mounting tube along the first end;

[0018] The sleeve is moved along the direction from the first end to the second end, such that one end of the sleeve abuts against the fastening part.

[0019] One embodiment of the present invention provides an atomizing structure, comprising:

[0020] The mounting tube includes a first end and a second end. A first groove is formed on the side wall of the mounting tube. An elastic sheet is connected to the groove wall of the first groove near the first end. The end of the elastic sheet away from the groove wall of the first groove is a free end. The free end of the elastic sheet is placed inside the mounting tube. A limiting protrusion is formed on the inner side wall of the mounting tube.

[0021] Heating components;

[0022] An oil guide is provided, which is rolled around the heating assembly along the outer side wall of the heating assembly. The oil guide and the heating assembly are placed inside the mounting tube. The elastic sheet undergoes elastic deformation, and the elastic sheet clamps the oil guide with the inner wall of the mounting tube. The end of the oil guide abuts against the limiting protrusion.

[0023] In some embodiments, a second groove is provided on the mounting tube, and a clamping member is connected to the groove wall near the second end of the second groove. The clamping member has a fastening portion at one end away from the groove wall of the second groove. An extension portion is connected to the outer wall of the oil guide. The extension portion extends out of the mounting tube along the second groove and is wound around the outer wall of the mounting tube at least once. One end of the clamping member connected to the groove wall of the second groove abuts against one end of the extension portion. The fastening portion is partially placed inside the mounting tube and abuts against the other end of the extension portion. The side wall of the clamping member abuts against the side wall of the extension portion.

[0024] In some embodiments, the atomizing structure further includes a sleeve, the inner diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the mounting tube; the sleeve is fitted along the first end onto the outer side wall of the mounting tube, and one end of the sleeve abuts against the fastening portion.

[0025] In some embodiments, the second groove extends through the first end, and the groove wall of the second groove has a chamfer between it and the first end.

[0026] In some embodiments, the first groove and the second groove are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the mounting tube, and the distance from the connection end of the clamping member to the wall of the second groove to the second end is adapted to the distance from the free end of the elastic sheet to the second end.

[0027] In some embodiments, the clamping member includes a connecting section and a parallel section. One end of the connecting section is connected to the groove wall of the second groove near the second end, and the other end is connected to one end of the parallel section.

[0028] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion includes two sets, one set of which abuts against one end of the oil guide member, and the other set of which abuts against the other end of the oil guide member.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, in the manufacturing method of the atomizing structure in this embodiment, the sidewall of the oil guide can press against the sidewall of the elastic sheet facing the axis of the mounting tube, thereby causing the elastic sheet to undergo elastic deformation. Pressure exists between the sidewall of the elastic sheet and the sidewall of the oil guide, causing the sidewall of the elastic sheet to press tightly against the sidewall of the oil guide. The sidewall of the elastic sheet and the inner sidewall of the mounting tube clamp the oil guide. Simultaneously, the limiting protrusion abuts against the end of the oil guide, thereby limiting the oil guide along the axial direction of the mounting tube. Finally, once clamped, the oil guide is difficult to loosen relative to the mounting tube. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0040] The manufacturing method of an atomizing structure 100 and the atomizing structure 100 provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of the present invention discloses an atomizing structure 100, including: a mounting tube 10, a heating assembly 20, and an oil guide 30; the mounting tube 10 includes a first end 14 and a second end 15, and a first groove 102 is formed on the side wall of the mounting tube 10. An elastic sheet 11 is connected to the groove wall of the first groove 102 near the first end 14. The end of the elastic sheet 11 away from the first end 14 is a free end, and the free end of the elastic sheet 11 is placed inside the mounting tube 10. A limiting protrusion 12 is formed by the protrusion of the inner side wall of the mounting tube 10. The heating assembly 20 is used to heat e-liquid. The oil guide 30 is rolled around the heating assembly 20 along the outer side wall of the heating assembly 20. The oil guide 30 and the heating assembly 20 are placed inside the mounting tube 10. The elastic sheet 11 undergoes elastic deformation, and the elastic sheet 11 clamps the oil guide 30 with the inner wall of the mounting tube 10. The end of the oil guide 30 abuts against the limiting protrusion 12.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting tube 10 is a steel pipe, and multiple oil inlet holes 106 are provided on the side wall of the mounting tube 10. The oil inlet holes 106 are waist-shaped, and the waistline of the oil inlet holes 106 is parallel to the axis of the mounting tube 10. The elastic sheet 11 is integrally formed with the mounting tube 10. A first groove 102 and the elastic sheet 11 are formed by cutting three rectangular sides along the side wall of the mounting tube 10. The end of the elastic sheet 11 near the first end 14 is connected to the groove wall of the first groove 102. Then, the elastic sheet 11 is bent into the mounting tube 10 at an angle of less than 90°, so that the free end of the elastic sheet 11 is placed inside the mounting tube 10. The limiting protrusion 12 is formed by stamping along the outer side wall of the mounting tube 10. The limiting protrusion 12 is waist-shaped, and there is a set of limiting protrusions 12. The limiting protrusion 12 is disposed between the first end 14 and the first groove 102.

[0043] In other embodiments, the mounting tube 10 may also be made of other rigid materials, such as copper or high-temperature resistant plastic; the shape of the oil inlet 106 may also be other, such as circular; the first groove 102 may also be other shapes, such as triangular; the elastic sheet 11 may also be made of different materials from the mounting tube 10; one end of the elastic sheet 11 may be fixedly connected to the groove wall of the first groove 102 by welding or other means.

[0044] The limiting protrusion 12 can also be other shapes, such as circular. The limiting protrusion 12 can also include two or three sets. When there are two sets of limiting protrusions 12, one set of limiting protrusions 12 is placed between the first end 14 and the first groove 102, and the other set of limiting protrusions 12 is placed between the second end 15 and the first groove 102. When there are three sets of limiting protrusions 12, the first set of limiting protrusions 12 is placed between the first end 14 and the first groove 102, the second set of limiting protrusions 12 is placed between the second end 15 and the first groove 102, and the third set of limiting protrusions 12 is placed between the first set of limiting protrusions 12 and the second set of limiting protrusions 12. The limiting protrusions 12 in the same set are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the mounting tube 10.

[0045] The heating assembly 20 includes a heating wire and electrodes. The electrodes are used to connect to a power source. In this embodiment, the heating wire is spring-shaped; in other embodiments, the heating wire may be in other shapes, such as a mesh structure rolled into a cylinder. In this embodiment, the oil guide 30 is made of cotton and has a sheet-like structure; in other embodiments, the oil guide 30 may be made of other ductile materials.

[0046] With the above structure, firstly, the oil guide 30 is rolled around the heating assembly 20 along the outside of the heating assembly 20. Then, the heating assembly 20 and the oil guide 30 are inserted into the mounting tube 10 along the first end 14. The heating assembly 20 and the oil guide 30 move along the mounting tube 10 from the first end 14 to the second end 15. When the heating assembly 20 and the oil guide 30 move to the first groove 102, the side wall of the oil guide 30 can press against the side wall of the elastic sheet 11 facing the axis of the mounting tube 10. As a result, the elastic sheet 11 undergoes elastic deformation. Therefore, there is pressure between the side wall of the elastic sheet 11 and the side wall of the oil guide 30, so that the side wall of the elastic sheet 11 and the side wall of the oil guide 30 are pressed together. The side wall of the elastic sheet 11 and the inner side wall of the mounting tube 10 clamp the oil guide 30.

[0047] Meanwhile, the limiting protrusion 12 abuts against the end of the oil guide 30, thereby limiting the oil guide 30 along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10. Finally, after the oil guide 30 is clamped, it is difficult for it to loosen relative to the mounting tube 10. At the same time, under the action of the limiting protrusion 12, the oil guide 30 is difficult to move along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10. Therefore, the assembly relationship between the oil guide 30 and the mounting tube 10 is more stable.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a second groove 104 is provided on the mounting tube 10, and a clamping member 13 is connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104 near the second end 15. The clamping member 13 is provided with a fastening part 136 at one end away from the groove wall of the second groove 104. An extension part 32 is connected to the outer wall of the oil guide member 30. The extension part 32 extends out of the mounting tube 10 along the second groove 104 and is wound around the outer wall of the mounting tube 10 at least once. One end of the clamping member 13 connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104 abuts against one end of the extension part 32. The fastening part 136 is partially placed inside the mounting tube 10 and abuts against the other end of the extension part 32. The side wall of the clamping member 13 abuts against the side wall of the extension part 32.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second groove 104 is rectangular and is opened along the first end 14. The groove wall of the second groove 104 and the first end 14 are chamfered. The distance from the second groove 104 to the second end 15 is equal to the distance from the first groove 102 to the second end 15. The axis of the first groove 102, the axis of the second groove 104 and the axis of the mounting tube 10 are coplanar. The mounting tube 10 is cut from the first end 14 along two line segments parallel to the axis of the mounting tube 10 to form the second groove 104 and the clamping member 13. The clamping member 13 is integrally formed with the second groove 104. Therefore, the clamping member 13 is connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104 near the second end 15. One end of the clamping member 13 near the first end 14 is bent toward the axis of the mounting tube 10 to form a fastening part 136. When the fastening part 136 is partially placed inside the mounting tube 10, it is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting tube 10 by the sleeve member 40, and the end of the sleeve member 40 abuts against the fastening part 136, thereby limiting the fastening part 136.

[0050] In other embodiments, the second groove 104 may also be in other shapes, such as a triangle; the axis of the second groove 104 and the axis of the mounting tube 10 may not be coplanar; the distance from the second groove 104 to the second end 15 may not be equal to the distance from the first groove 102 to the second end 15; the clamping member 13 may not be integrally formed with the mounting tube 10; the clamping member 13 may be fixedly connected to the mounting tube 10 by welding or other means; the fastening part 136 may also be partially placed inside the mounting tube 10 by other means, such as snap-fit ​​or plug-in.

[0051] The extension 32 has a sheet-like structure and is integrally formed with the oil guide 30. Along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10, the height of the extension 32 is equal to the height of the oil guide 30. The extension 32 has a sheet-like structure and its length in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting tube 10 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting tube 10, so that the extension 32 can be wound around the outer side wall of the mounting tube 10 at least once.

[0052] With the above structure, the extension 32 extends out of the mounting tube 10 along the second groove 104 and, after winding around the mounting tube 10 at least once, when the retaining part 136 is partially placed inside the mounting tube 10, the retaining part 136 abuts against the end of the extension 32 near the first end 14, and the outer wall of the extension 32 is pressed against the side of the clamping member 13 near the axis of the mounting tube 10. At the same time, the end of the extension 32 near the second end 15 is abutted against the end of the clamping member 13 connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104. Therefore, under the action of the clamping member 13, the extension 32 is limited, and the oil guide 30 connected to the extension 32 is further limited. Thus, the atomizing structure 100 in this embodiment has better stability. In addition, under the action of the extension 32, the oil guide 30 and the oil storage member disposed outside the mounting tube 10 can have a larger contact area, thereby improving the conduction efficiency of the e-liquid.

[0053] In some embodiments, the atomizing structure 100 further includes a sleeve 40, the inner diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the mounting tube 10; the sleeve 40 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the mounting tube 10 along the first end 14, and one end of the sleeve 40 abuts against the fastening portion 136.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sleeve 40 is a fiberglass tube; in other embodiments, the sleeve 40 may also be made of other materials, such as plastic.

[0055] With the above structure, since the size of the atomizing structure 100 is fixed, the length of the sleeve 40 after connecting with the mounting tube 10 is adapted to the overall size of the atomizing structure 100. As a result, the length of the mounting tube 10 is reduced under the action of the sleeve 40. Since the mounting tube 10 is made of steel and the sleeve 40 is made of fiberglass, the total mass of the atomizing structure 100 is reduced while saving material costs, making the atomizing structure 100 more convenient.

[0056] Furthermore, with the cooperation of the sleeve 40 and the fastening part 136, the sleeve 40 is held in place by the fastening part 136 and cannot continue to move along the axis of the mounting tube 10 toward the second end 15. Therefore, the sleeve 40 cannot squeeze the extension part 32. At the same time, when the fastening part 136 is pressed by the sleeve 40, the part of the fastening part 136 placed inside the mounting tube 10 is difficult to lift up. Therefore, the fastening part 136 and the sleeve 40 can limit each other, thereby making the installation process of the atomizing structure 100 in this embodiment more convenient.

[0057] Meanwhile, due to the superior thermal stability of steel, the mounting tube 10 is made of steel. However, steel has good thermal conductivity, so as the gaseous e-liquid flows out along the mounting tube 10, the heat of the e-liquid may be absorbed by the side wall of the mounting tube 10, potentially causing condensation on the side wall and reducing atomization efficiency. Furthermore, the e-liquid output from the first end 14 of the mounting tube 10 may be partially liquid. In this embodiment, a sleeve 40 made of fiberglass material is used, shortening the length of the mounting tube 10. Fiberglass material has low thermal conductivity, making it less prone to condensation of the gaseous e-liquid as it flows along the sleeve 40. Furthermore, the atomization structure 100 in this embodiment reduces the contact area between the gaseous e-liquid and the side wall of the mounting tube 10, further reducing the possibility of condensation during the output of the gaseous e-liquid.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second groove 104 is disposed through the first end 14, and a chamfer is provided between the second groove 104 and the groove wall of the first end 14.

[0059] Specifically, the first end 14 is cut at two points along the first end 14, with the cutting direction parallel to the axis of the mounting tube 10, and the lengths of the two cuts are equal, thus forming the second groove 104 and the clamping member 13, and satisfying the requirement that the second groove 104 penetrates through the first end 14.

[0060] With the above structure, the chamfer makes it easier for the sleeve 40 to be fitted onto the outside of the mounting tube 10 along the first end 14; at the same time, it achieves integrated molding of the mounting tube 10 and the clamping member 13, simplifying the manufacturing process of the mounting tube 10. In addition, when the second groove 104 is opened along the first end 14, when the oil guide member 30 is inserted into the mounting tube 10 along the first end 14, the extension 32 can directly cooperate with the second groove 104, and thus the extension 32 can extend more easily along the second groove 104.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first groove 102 and the second groove 104 are respectively provided on both sides of the axis of the mounting tube 10, and the distance from the connection end of the clamping member 13 to the second end 15 of the groove wall of the second groove 104 is adapted to the distance from the free end of the elastic sheet 11 to the second end 15.

[0062] Specifically, the axes of the first groove 102, the second groove 104, and the mounting tube 10 are coplanar, and thus the first groove 102 and the second groove 104 are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the mounting tube 10. The distance of the second groove 104 from the second end 15 is equal to the distance of the first groove 102 from the second end 15, and thus the distance from the connection end of the clamping member 13 to the groove wall of the second groove 104 to the second end 15 is adapted to the distance from the free end of the elastic sheet 11 to the second end 15.

[0063] With the above structure, since the first groove 102 and the second groove 104 are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the mounting tube 10, the elastic sheet 11 can press against the oil guide 30 along one side of the oil guide 30, and the clamping member 13 can press against the extension 32 along the other side of the oil guide 30, thereby pressing against the oil guide 30. Therefore, the elastic sheet 11 and the clamping member 13 have a clamping effect on the oil guide 30, which ultimately makes the oil guide 30 more stable relative to the mounting tube 10.

[0064] In addition, when the distance from the connection end of the clamping member 13 to the second end 15 of the second groove 104 is adapted to the distance from the free end of the elastic sheet 11 to the second end 15, when the extension 32 abuts against the groove wall of the second groove 104 near the second end 15, the oil guide member 30 can be placed in an appropriate position in the mounting tube 10, and the end of the oil guide member 30 can abut against the limiting protrusion 12.

[0065] In some embodiments, the clamping member 13 includes a connecting section 132 and a parallel section 134. One end of the connecting section 132 is connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104 near the second end 15, and the other end is connected to one end of the parallel section 134. The parallel section 134 is arranged parallel to the axis of the mounting tube 10, and the end of the parallel section 134 away from the connecting section 132 is connected to the fastening part 136. One end of the extension 32 abuts against the connecting section 132, and the other end of the extension 32 abuts against the fastening part 136. The parallel section 134 abuts against the side wall of the extension 32.

[0066] Specifically, the connecting segment 132, the parallel segment 134, and the clamping part 136 are all rectangular sheet structures, thus the clamping member 13 as a whole is a strip-shaped sheet structure; the clamping member 13 is bent 90° along the groove wall of the second groove 104 to form the connecting segment 132, the connecting segment 132 is bent 90° in the opposite direction to form the parallel segment 134, and then the end of the parallel segment 134 away from the connecting segment 132 is bent at an acute angle toward the axis of the mounting tube 10 to form the clamping part 136. The axis of the connecting segment 132 is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting tube 10, and the length of the connecting segment 132 is less than the thickness of the extension 32, so that the connecting segment 132 can clamp the extension 32 with the mounting tube 10; the length of the clamping part 136 is more than twice the length of the connecting segment 132, so that the clamping part 136 only needs to be bent at an angle of less than 30° to satisfy that the clamping part 136 is partially placed inside the mounting tube 10.

[0067] With the above structure, under the compression of the elastic sheet 11, the oil guide 30 protrudes along the second groove 104, thereby the connecting section 132 can limit the ends of the extension 32 and the oil guide 30, thus reducing the possibility of the oil guide 30 sliding along the axis of the mounting tube 10. In addition, under the action of the connecting section 132, the gap between the parallel section 134 and the outer wall of the mounting tube 10 is larger, thereby reducing the deformation of the extension 32 when it is clamped, thus improving the oil guiding efficiency between the oil guide 30 and the extension 32.

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 12 includes two sets, one set of limiting protrusion 12 abuts against one end of the oil guide 30, and the other set of limiting protrusion 12 abuts against the other end of the oil guide 30.

[0069] Specifically, one set of limiting protrusions 12 is disposed between the first end 14 and the first groove 102, and another set of limiting protrusions 12 is disposed between the second end 15 and the first groove 102, and the distance between the two sets of limiting protrusions 12 is adapted to the height of the oil guide 30. In this embodiment, each set of limiting protrusions 12 includes one limiting protrusion 12; in other embodiments, each set of limiting protrusions 12 may also include other numbers of limiting protrusions 12; and all the limiting protrusions 12 in each set of limiting protrusions 12 are evenly distributed circumferentially with the axis of the mounting tube 10 as the center line.

[0070] With the above structure, when the oil guide 30 is placed in the first groove 102, one set of limiting protrusions 12 abuts against one end of the oil guide 30, and another set of limiting protrusions 12 abuts against the other end of the oil guide 30. Thus, the two sets of limiting protrusions 12 simultaneously limit the oil guide 30, making it more difficult for the oil guide 30 to move along the axial direction of the mounting pipe 10, thereby improving the stability between the oil guide 30 and the mounting pipe 10.

[0071] Please see Figure 5 In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing an atomizing structure 100 is also provided, the method comprising:

[0072] 501: Provides an installation tube 10, a heating assembly 20, and an oil guide 30. The installation tube 10 includes a first end 14 and a second end 15. A first groove 102 is provided on the side wall of the installation tube 10. An elastic piece 11 is connected to the groove wall of the first groove 102 near the first end 14. The end of the elastic piece 11 away from the groove wall of the first groove 102 is a free end. The free end of the elastic piece 11 is placed inside the installation tube 10. A limiting protrusion 12 is formed by the protrusion of the inner side wall of the installation tube 10.

[0073] Provide parts for manufacturing the atomizing structure 100; the mounting tube 10 is a steel tube, the heating component 20 is a spiral heating wire, and the oil guide 30 is a sheet-like oil guide cotton; the mounting tube 10 has a plurality of oil inlet holes 106 on its side wall, and the oil inlet holes 106 and the first groove 102 are located at the same height along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10.

[0074] 502: Wrap the oil guide 30 around the outer wall of the heating assembly 20.

[0075] The sheet-shaped oil guide 30 is rolled into a cylindrical shape along the outer wall of the heating assembly 20, so that the oil guide 30 can be rolled around the heating assembly 20 along the outer wall of the heating assembly 20.

[0076] 503: Insert the heating assembly 20 and the oil guide 30 into the mounting tube 10 along the direction from the first end 14 to the second end 15.

[0077] Since the mounting tube 10 is cylindrical, it has openings at both the first end 14 and the second end 15. The heating component 20 and the oil guide 30 are inserted into the mounting tube 10 through the opening at the first end 14.

[0078] 504: Move the heating assembly 20 and the oil guide 30 until the end of the oil guide 30 abuts against the limiting protrusion 12 and the side wall of the oil guide 30 is placed in the first groove 102. The side wall of the oil guide 30 presses against the side wall of the elastic sheet 11, causing the elastic sheet 11 to elastically deform. Therefore, the side wall of the elastic sheet 11 and the inner wall of the mounting tube 10 clamp the oil guide 30.

[0079] Force is applied to the heating component 20 and the oil guide 30, causing them to move along the direction from the first end 14 to the second end 15. As the heating component 20 and the oil guide 30 move to the first groove 102, the side wall of the oil guide 30 gradually presses against the side wall of the elastic sheet 11, and the elastic sheet 11 gradually undergoes elastic deformation. When the end of the oil guide 30 abuts against the corresponding limiting protrusion 12, the heating component 20 and the oil guide 30 stop moving.

[0080] Through the above method, under the elastic deformation of the elastic sheet 11, there is elastic force between the elastic sheet 11 and the side wall of the oil guide 30. Therefore, there is pressure between the side wall of the corresponding mounting tube 10 and the oil guide 30. Thus, the elastic sheet 11 and the side wall of the mounting tube 10 can clamp the oil guide 30, making it difficult for the oil guide 30 to move along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10. In addition, the end of the oil guide 30 is limited by the limiting protrusion 12, making it even more difficult for the oil guide 30 to move along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10, ultimately further reducing the possibility that the oil guide 30 may slide relative to the mounting tube 10.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mounting tube 10 has a second groove 104, and a clamping member 13 is connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104 near the second end 15. The clamping member 13 has a fastening portion 136 at one end away from the groove wall of the second groove 104. An extension portion 32 is connected to the outer wall of the oil guide member 30. The manufacturing method further includes: extending the extension portion 32 out of the mounting tube 10 along the second groove 104; wrapping the extension portion 32 around the mounting tube 10 at least once along the outer wall of the mounting tube 10; abutting one end of the extension portion 32 against one end of the clamping member 13 connected to the groove wall of the second groove 104; placing the fastening portion 136 part inside the mounting tube 10, such that the fastening portion 136 abuts against the other end of the extension portion 32, and the side wall of the clamping member 13 presses against the side wall of the extension portion 32.

[0082] Using the above method, the extension 32 can extend out of the mounting tube 10 along the second groove 104. When the extension 32 is wrapped around the mounting tube 10 on the outside of the mounting tube 10, one end of the extension 32 can abut against the bottom wall of the second groove 104, and the fastening part 136 can abut against the other end of the extension 32. Therefore, the extension 32 can be limited along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10, and the oil guide 30 connected to the extension 32 can be further limited along the axial direction of the mounting tube 10. In addition, under the action of the extension 32, the oil guide 30 can have a larger contact area with the oil reservoir placed on the outside of the mounting tube 10, thereby improving the oil guiding efficiency of the oil guide 30.

[0083] In some embodiments, the manufacturing method further includes: providing a sleeve 40, the inner diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the mounting tube 10; fitting the sleeve 40 onto the outer side wall of the mounting tube 10 along the first end 14; and moving the sleeve 40 along the direction from the first end 14 to the second end 15 such that one end of the sleeve 40 abuts against the fastening portion 136.

[0084] Through the above method, on the one hand, the sleeve 40 can limit the buckling part 136. The mutual limiting of the sleeve 40 and the buckling part 136 can be completed simply by the sleeve 40 and the buckling part 136 abutting each other, thereby simplifying the fixing steps of the buckling part 136. On the other hand, the sleeve 40 can be made of glass fiber or other materials with poor thermal conductivity. As the e-liquid flows through the sleeve 40, the inner wall of the sleeve 40 does not easily carry away the heat in the gaseous e-liquid. Therefore, the gaseous e-liquid is not easy to condense on the inner wall of the sleeve 40, which ultimately increases the proportion of gaseous e-liquid in the e-liquid output along the atomizing structure 100, thereby improving the overall atomization efficiency of the atomizing structure 100.

[0085] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; under the concept of the present invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
