Description

Technical Field

[0001] Example embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of atomizers, and more particularly to an atomizing device and an atomizing apparatus including the atomizing device. Background Art

[0002] The atomizer is a key component that converts an atomized matrix such as a liquid tobacco product into an inhalable aerosol. When a conventional atomizer is powered, the atomizer core therein can heat and atomize the liquid atomized matrix to produce an aerosol for inhalation. The atomizer core is also commonly referred to as a heating element or a heating piece. Common heating elements include heating wires and ceramic heating plates, which heat liquid tobacco products to produce atomization. The atomizer chamber is used to temporarily accommodate the aerosol formed after the atomized matrix is ​​heated by the heating element. Conventional atomizers are prone to form vortices during the atomization process, which makes it difficult to discharge the aerosol after atomization, and there are also problems such as the condensate formed after the aerosol is condensed and easily blocks the air inlet duct. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an atomizing device and an atomizing apparatus including the atomizing device, so as to at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems and / or other potential problems existing in the traditional atomizing device.

[0004] In the first aspect of the present disclosure, an atomizing device is provided. The atomizing device includes: a housing extending in an axial direction and including a liquid storage tank for accommodating an atomized substrate and an air flow channel having an air outlet, an air inlet and an atomizing chamber; and an atomizing core arranged at the atomizing end of the liquid storage tank in the axial direction, and including an atomizing surface in contact with the atomizing substrate, so as to heat the atomized substrate into an aerosol and release it into the atomizing chamber, wherein the air outlet and the air inlet are formed at opposite ends of the housing in the axial direction, and are arranged to respond to the suction action at the air outlet so that the airflow entering the air flow channel from the air inlet flows to the air outlet, and the atomizing chamber includes an inlet end connected to the air inlet and an outlet end connected to the air outlet, and the inlet end and the outlet end are arranged at the two ends of the atomizing core in the radial direction of the housing, so that the airflow flows between the inlet end and the outlet end in the air flow direction to carry away the aerosol, wherein the angle between the air flow direction and the atomizing surface is less than 90°.

[0005] In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, under the suction effect at the air outlet, the air flow enters the air flow channel of the atomization chamber from the air inlet and flows toward the air outlet. Since the inlet end and the outlet end of the atomization chamber are arranged at both ends of the atomization core in the radial direction, the air intake air flow is prevented from entering perpendicularly to the atomization surface of the atomization core to form a vortex. The present disclosure improves the efficiency of the air flow in carrying away the aerosol by flowing in from one side of the atomization surface and out from the other side.

[0011] In some embodiments, the predetermined angle is in the range of 0° to 60°.

[0012] In some embodiments, the atomizing core is arranged such that the atomizing surface forms a second predetermined angle with the axial direction, and the second predetermined angle is in the range of 30° to 90°.

[0014] In some embodiments, the atomization device also includes: a base, which is arranged in the shell and includes: a circumferential wall, which is sealingly coupled with a portion of the inner wall of the shell; a liquid collection wall, which defines a first air inlet section with a portion of the circumferential wall; and a liquid collection space, which is defined by another portion of the circumferential wall and the liquid collection wall, and the projection of the liquid collection space in the axial direction covers the air outlet section and at least a portion of the atomization core.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second air inlet section is defined by a bracket and a liquid collecting wall.

[0016] In some embodiments, the atomization device further includes: a liquid collecting member arranged in the liquid collecting space.

[0017] In some embodiments, the housing further includes: a body including an end coupled to the base; and an end seat coupled to the end of the body and including a coupling portion coupled to an outer wall of the end of the body.

[0018] In some embodiments, the end seat also includes: an air inlet; and a connector arranged around the air inlet, the connector including: a connecting portion suitable for coupling with a power source to at least supply power to the atomizer core through the power source; and at least one lateral air inlet arranged on a radial side wall of the connecting portion and connected to the air inlet.

[0019] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes: a suction component coupled to the end of the housing having the air outlet, and including a suction channel, the suction channel being in airflow communication with the airflow channel via the air outlet.

[0020] In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank includes a liquid filling port located at the liquid filling end opposite to the atomization end in the axial direction.

[0021] In some embodiments, the suction component further comprises: a sealing component arranged to seal the liquid filling port.

[0022] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes a resting platform, which at least partially protrudes from a circumferential outer surface of the housing adjacent to the air outlet section and extends a certain length in the axial direction.

[0023] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an atomization device is provided, which includes: a power source; and the atomization device according to the first aspect, wherein the atomization device is coupled to the power source.

[0024] It should be understood that the content described in this content section is not intended to limit the key features or important features of the embodiments of the present disclosure, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0033] As used herein, the term "including" and its variations mean open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". Unless otherwise stated, the term "or" means "and / or". The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The terms "one example embodiment" and "some embodiments" mean "at least one example embodiment". The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects.

[0034] Conventional atomization devices generally heat the atomization matrix by heating the atomization core, so that the atomization matrix is ​​atomized in the atomization chamber to form an aerosol. Under the suction effect at the air outlet, the air flow enters from the air inlet, passes through the atomization chamber, and drives the aerosol to flow to the air outlet to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user.

[0035] However, during the operation of the atomizer, the direction of the airflow entering the atomizer chamber determines the flow rate of the aerosol. The conventional atomizer arranges the air inlet channel of the atomizer chamber in a direction perpendicular to the atomization surface of the atomizer core, and the air inlet channel is located below the atomizer core. Under the action of suction, since the airflow direction enters the atomizer chamber perpendicular to the atomization surface of the atomizer core, a vortex is formed, which directly affects the flow rate of the aerosol, which reduces the efficiency of the airflow actually taking away the aerosol. If the formed aerosol cannot be discharged to the outside of the atomizer in time, during the flow process, due to the temperature change of the airflow channel, the aerosol is easily condensed inside the atomizer, resulting in the aerosol remaining during suction being deposited in the atomizer chamber and forming a condensate. On the one hand, this will cause a waste of high-value atomization substrate. On the other hand, this may cause the condensate to leak from the air inlet or block the air inlet, thereby causing the atomizer to fail to work properly.

[0036] In addition, some conventional atomizers arrange the air inlet on the side wall of the housing adjacent to the atomizer chamber. Although this arrangement of the air inlet can improve the efficiency of aerosol flow by changing the flow direction of the airflow entering the atomizer chamber, since the air inlet is arranged close to the atomizer chamber, when the atomizer is oriented approximately horizontally during use, condensate will leak from the air inlet or block the air inlet, causing the atomizer to fail to work properly.

[0037] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an atomizing device to solve or at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems or other potential problems existing in the conventional atomizing device. Figures 1 to 6 To describe the principle of the present disclosure in detail. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of an atomization device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 Schematic side view of an atomizing device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizer device 100 described herein generally includes a housing 101 and an atomizer core 103 arranged in the housing 101. In some embodiments, the atomizer device 100 may also include components such as a suction component 107 and a connector 1016. For example, the suction component 107 is detachably connected to the upper end of the housing 101 for easy replacement. The connector 1016 is connected to the lower end of the housing 101. The connector 1016 is a detachable component for connecting a power supply to facilitate installation or disassembly, which will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of an exploded view of an atomization device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 101 is a cylindrical structure or a prismatic structure extending along a direction A (hereinafter referred to as the axial direction A) or any other appropriate shape, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. A liquid storage tank 1011 and an air flow channel 102 are provided inside the housing 101. The liquid storage tank 1011 is used to accommodate an atomized matrix, and the atomized matrix may include smoke oil or liquid medicine, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In the case where the atomized matrix includes oil smoke, the liquid storage tank 1011 may also be called an oil tank.

[0039] The atomizing core 103 is arranged at one end of the liquid storage tank 1011 in the axial direction A (hereinafter referred to as the atomizing end). The atomizing core 103 includes an atomizing surface. The atomizing surface can contact the atomizing substrate, thereby heating the atomizing substrate into an aerosol. In order to facilitate the atomization of the atomizing substrate, the atomizing core 103 may include micropores and / or microchannel structures adjacent to the atomizing surface. The micropores and / or microchannel structures can accommodate a small amount of atomizing substrate and facilitate the atomizing substrate to form an aerosol. Of course, as long as the atomizing substrate can be formed into an aerosol in an appropriate manner, it is possible for the atomizing core 103 to adopt any appropriate manner or structure, and this is not limited in this article.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the replenishment of the atomized matrix, the top of the liquid storage tank 1011 may have a liquid filling port 1019. The opening direction of the liquid filling port 1019 may be toward the suction component 107. In other words, the liquid filling port 1019 is located at the liquid filling end opposite to the atomizing end in the axial direction A. In some embodiments, the opening position of the liquid filling port 1019 can be arranged on the axis of the atomizing device 100, so as to facilitate the suction component 107 to seal the liquid filling port 1019. Of course, it should be understood that the opening position of the liquid filling port 1019 can also deviate from the axis arrangement of the atomizing device 100, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The air flow channel 102 of the atomizing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is arranged close to the side wall of the housing 101, and the liquid storage tank 1011 is arranged adjacent to the air flow channel 102, so that the space of the liquid storage tank 1011 can be maximized, which will be further described below.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the atomization device 100 also includes a bracket 104. The bracket 104 is used to fix the atomization core 103. The housing 101 may also include a body 1014. The liquid storage tank 1011 mentioned above is formed in the body 1014. The bracket 104 is located inside the body 1014. In some embodiments, the bracket 104 and the body 1014 can be integrally formed. In some alternative embodiments, the bracket 104 and the body 1014 can also be fixed together by snap-fitting, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The bracket 104 seals the liquid storage tank 101, and its upper end constitutes at least a part of the atomization end of the liquid storage tank 1011. The atomization core 103 is fixed to the lower end of the bracket 104. In this way, the atomization core 103 is sealedly coupled to the atomization end of the liquid storage tank 1011 in the axial direction A. The liquid storage tank 1011 provides the atomization matrix to the atomization core 103, contacts the atomization surface of the atomization core 103, heats the atomization matrix into an aerosol and releases it into the air flow channel 102. It should be understood that the "upper" and "lower" mentioned herein refer to the case where the extension direction (i.e., the axial direction) of the housing 101 is consistent with the direction of gravity. It should be understood that for the case where the housing 101 in the atomization device is in other orientations, the components or parts having the "upper" and "lower" relationships may have other positional relationships.

[0042] The airflow channel 102 includes an air outlet 1012 and an air inlet 1013. Under the suction action of the air outlet 1012, the airflow can enter from the air inlet 1013 and carry away the aerosol along the airflow channel 102 and be discharged from the air outlet 1012. The air outlet 1012 and the air inlet 1013 are located at opposite ends of the shell 101 in the axial direction A. For example, when the extension direction of the shell 101 is oriented in the vertical direction (that is, consistent with the direction of gravity), the air outlet 1012 is located at the upper end of the shell 101, and the air inlet 1013 is located at the lower end of the shell 101. In this way, the spatial layout of the shell 101 can be made more reasonable, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, the atomizing core 103 may be arranged in the bracket 104 so that its atomizing surface is at a second predetermined angle with the axial direction A. The second predetermined angle is in the range of 30° to 90°. Figure 3 As shown, the atomizing core 103 can be arranged so that the atomizing surface is at a vertical angle to the axial direction A, that is, the atomizing surface can be perpendicular to the axial direction A. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the atomizing surface is arranged at other inclined angles to the axial direction A, for example, the atomizing surface can also be arranged to form an angle of 45° or 60° with the axial direction A, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In this way, the formed aerosol can be more fully taken away and discharged, thereby improving the utilization rate of the atomized substrate and reducing the formed condensate.

[0044] The above-mentioned arrangement of the atomization surface can be achieved by adjusting the structure of the bracket 104 or the arrangement in the housing 101. For example, in some embodiments, the bracket 104 can be arranged perpendicular to the axial direction A, or it can be arranged at a second predetermined angle to the direction A, that is, arranged obliquely. For example, in some embodiments, the bracket 104 can be arranged obliquely as a whole, so that the atomization surface of the atomization core 103 is arranged obliquely relative to the axial direction A. In some alternative embodiments, the bracket 104 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction A as a whole, and only the part of the bracket 104 for coupling the atomization core 103 is arranged obliquely relative to the axial direction A, so that the atomization surface of the atomization core 103 is arranged obliquely relative to the axial direction A.

[0045] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the assembly of components such as the bracket 104, the housing 101 may further include an end seat 1015 coupled to the body 1014. The end seat 1015 is detachably coupled to the end of the body 1014 in the axial direction A. For example, the end seat 1015 may have an open end and an air inlet end in the axial direction A. The air inlet 1013 mentioned above is located at the air inlet end. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the open end of the end seat 1015 has a coupling portion for connecting with the outer wall of the end of the body 1014, so that the end seat 1015 is detachably mounted on the end of the body 1014. In some embodiments, the air inlet end of the end seat 1015 may be arranged with a connector 1016. The connector 1016 may include a connecting portion 1017 for detachably coupling a battery or a power source to at least supply power to the atomizer core 103 through a battery or a power source. In some alternative embodiments, the air inlet end of the end seat 1015 may also not include a connector 1016. In some embodiments, the housing 101 or the atomizing device 100 may not include the end seat 1015 , which will be further described below.

[0046] The suction component 107 mentioned above can also be called a mouthpiece. The suction component 107 is used to cooperate with the user's mouth and generate the suction force required for the airflow in the atomizing device 100. In some embodiments, the suction component 107 is detachably arranged at the end of the air outlet 1012 of the housing 101. In this way, the suction component 107 can be easily replaced when necessary, thereby improving the user experience. For example, if the suction component 107 has been used for too long and is damaged or old, the user can directly disassemble and replace it with a new suction component 107, thereby increasing the service life of the atomizing device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the suction component 107 includes a suction channel 1071 and a sealing component 1072, and the suction channel 1071 is connected to the air flow channel 102 via the air outlet 1012. When the suction component 107 is connected to the housing 101, the sealing component 1072 is sealed on the liquid filling port 1019 of the liquid storage tank 1011. When the suction component 107 is removed from the housing 101, the liquid filling port 1019 can be exposed, so that the user can add the atomized matrix to the liquid storage tank 1011. In some embodiments, the sealing component 1072 can be made of rubber or silicone material to achieve effective sealing of the liquid filling port 1019, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0048] In some embodiments, the suction component 107 can also be integrated into the housing 101 in an appropriate manner. For example, by reasonably setting the structure and shape of the housing 101, the suction component 107 can be integrated at one end of the air outlet 1012 of the housing 101, thereby improving the integration of the atomization device 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the atomizing device 100 may also include a base 105. The base 105 and the atomizing core 103 and the bracket 104 mentioned above can also be referred to as an atomizing assembly. In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly can also be provided in the form of an integral module, and it is convenient to be provided on the housing 101 as a whole, so as to improve the modularity of the atomizing device 100 and facilitate assembly. In some embodiments, the base 105 can be coupled to the end seat 1015 of the housing 101 and located on the side of the atomizing core 103 away from the liquid storage tank 1011. When the base 105 is coupled to the end seat 1015 and the end seat 1015 is coupled to the body 1014, the end of the base 105 will abut against the lower end of the bracket 104, so that the base 105 and the atomizing core 103 and the bracket 104 are surrounded to form an atomizing chamber, that is, the atomizing chamber 1021 of the air flow channel 102 is formed. The atomizing chamber 1021 is actually a section of the air flow channel 102 in the extension direction. The atomizing core 103 forms an aerosol by heating the atomizing matrix and releases it into the atomizing chamber 1021. The base 105 can be connected to the body 1014 in an appropriate manner. For example, in some embodiments, the base 105 can be connected to the body 1014 in a snap-on manner to facilitate disassembly. Of course, it should be understood that the connection between the base 105 and the body 1014 is not limited to this, and any other appropriate connection method can be used, including but not limited to: threaded connection, bonding, welding or interference fit, etc. In the embodiment mentioned above where the housing 101 or the atomizing device 100 does not include the end seat 1015, contacts can be provided on the base 105 for direct connection to a battery or a power source to power the atomizing core 103.

[0050] In some embodiments, the base 105 has a circumferential wall 1051 and a liquid collection wall 1052. The outer side of the circumferential wall 1051 is sealingly coupled to the inner wall of the shell 101. For example, as mentioned above, the base 105 can be connected to the inner wall of the body 1014 by snap-fitting the circumferential wall 1051. The liquid collection wall 1052 is located inside the base 105, adjacent to a portion of the circumferential wall 1051, and connected to another portion of the circumferential wall 1051 to form a liquid collection space with one end open. When the base 105 is coupled to the body 1014, the opening direction of the liquid collection space points to the atomizer core 103, and the projection of the liquid collection space in the axial direction A can cover the air flow channel 102 on one side of the air outlet 1012 and at least a portion of the atomizer core 103. In this way, the liquid collection space can effectively collect condensed liquid formed by the aerosol in the air flow channel 102 , preventing the condensed liquid from clogging the air inlet 1013 or leaking from the air inlet 1013 .

[0051] In addition, the liquid collecting wall 1052 forming the liquid collecting space also defines a portion of the airflow channel 102 and the air inlet 1013 together with the circumferential wall 1051, and makes the portion of the airflow channel 102 not covered by the projection of the liquid collecting space in the axial direction A be located on the upstream side of the airflow direction of the atomizer core 103. In other words, it is difficult for the aerosol to reach this portion and thus condensate will not be formed on this portion, thereby effectively preventing the condensate of the aerosol from leaking from this portion of the airflow channel 102 to the air inlet 1013.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a liquid collecting member 106 may be arranged in the liquid collecting space. The liquid collecting member 106 may include any appropriate material such as absorbent cotton. In this way, when the condensed liquid of the atomizing device 100 reaches the liquid collecting space, the liquid collecting member 106 can absorb the condensed liquid, thereby preventing the condensed liquid from leaking again from the liquid collecting space.

[0053] The above describes the components of the atomizing device 100 and the connection relationship between them from the structural aspect. The following describes the atomizing device 100 of the present disclosure along the line of the air flow channel 102.

[0054] Figures 4 to 6 Structural schematic diagrams of airflow channels according to several different embodiments of the present disclosure are shown, and the differences among these schematic diagrams mainly lie in the portion of the airflow channel 102 adjacent to the air inlet 1013 (hereinafter referred to as the air inlet end 1022 ).

[0055] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6As shown, the air flow channel 102 of the atomizing device 100 includes an air inlet section 1022, an air outlet section 1023 and the aforementioned atomizing chamber 1021. The air inlet section 1022 is a channel for connecting the inlet end of the air inlet 1013 and the atomizing chamber 1021. The air outlet section 1023 is a channel for connecting the outlet end of the air outlet 1012 and the atomizing chamber 1021. In certain embodiments, the air inlet 1013 can be arranged at the center of the air inlet end of the end seat 1015. Of course, it should be understood that the air inlet 1013 can also be arranged at other any appropriate positions of the air inlet section, which is not limited in this article. In certain embodiments, the atomizing device also includes a shelf 1020, which protrudes outward at least partially from the circumferential outer surface of the adjacent air outlet section 1023 of the housing 101, and extends a certain length in the axial direction. That is to say, the air outlet section 1023 can be arranged between the shelf 1020 and the liquid storage bin 1011 in the radial direction. Shelving platform 1020 can be used for when atomizing device is placed on an object, and shelving platform 1020 can contact the outer surface of the object to prevent the rolling of atomizing device on the object. The outer surface of shelving platform 1020 (that is, the surface contacting the object) can have a planar shape. In some alternative embodiments, the outer surface of shelving platform 1020 can also be any one or more combinations of curved surface, corrugated surface, toothed surface, frosted surface. In certain embodiments, shelving platform 1020 can extend from the end with air outlet 1012 of housing 101 to the end with air inlet 1013. In some alternative embodiments, shelving platform 1020 can also partially extend between two ends. In certain embodiments, shelving platform 1020 can also have multiple sub-portions separated from each other along axial direction A.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet section 1022 is a bent structure as a whole. Specifically, the air inlet section 1022 can be generally divided into two parts, that is, a first air inlet section and a second air inlet section. The first air inlet section is defined by the liquid collecting wall 1052 and a part of the circumferential wall 1051. The second air inlet section is defined by the bracket 104 and the liquid collecting wall 1052.

[0057] Specifically, the first air intake section extends from the air inlet 1013 along a first direction, and the first direction forms a predetermined angle with the axial direction A. The predetermined angle may be in the range of 0° to 60°. For example, the predetermined angle may be 30° or 45°, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The air intake direction of the first air intake section may be adjusted by changing the structure of the circumferential wall 1051 and the liquid collecting wall 1052. By arranging the circumferential wall 1051 on one side of the liquid collecting wall 1052 to be inclined toward the first air intake section, the circumferential wall 1051 is arranged along the axial direction A or the inner side of the circumferential wall 1051 is arranged along the liquid collecting wall 1052 to be inclined, so that the first air intake end is inclined toward the circumferential wall 1051 on the other side of the liquid collecting wall 1052. Figure 4In this way, the airflow entering from the air inlet 1013 can be facilitated and the generation of vortices can be prevented. In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the liquid collecting wall 1052 may be arranged along the axial direction A while the circumferential wall 1051 may be arranged along the axial direction A, thereby forming a gradually shrinking air inlet end along the air flow direction, which ensures the air intake volume and makes the spatial layout of the housing 101 more reasonable. In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, for the needs of spatial layout, the liquid collecting wall 1052 and the circumferential wall 1051 can also be arranged along the axial direction A, so that the angle between the first air inlet end and the axial direction A is 0°.

[0058] The second air inlet section is arranged along the second direction between the first air inlet section and the inlet end of the atomizing chamber 1021, and the angle between the second direction and the first direction is between 0° and 120°. For example, the angle between the two can be arranged to be 30°, 45°, 60° or 90°. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, by arranging an inclined structure, a chamfered structure or an arc structure at the corner of the bracket 104 adjacent to the liquid collecting wall 1052, the airflow direction and path of the second air intake section can be adjusted. In this way, the flow direction of the intake airflow can be further optimized, and the generation of vortices and the like can be avoided, thereby increasing the airflow speed. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the corners of the bracket 104 may not be arranged with the above-mentioned inclined structure, chamfered structure or arc structure, so as to facilitate processing. In addition, as mentioned above, since the air inlet section 1022 is arranged on the upstream side of the atomizer core 103 in the air flow direction, the aerosol will not flow to this section, and thus no condensate will be formed in this section. Therefore, this arrangement can effectively prevent the condensate from leaking from the air inlet 1013.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the inlet end of the atomization chamber 1021 is connected to the outlet end of the second air inlet section, and the outlet end of the atomization chamber 1021 is connected to the air outlet section 1023. The inlet end and the outlet end of the atomization chamber 1021 are arranged at both ends of the atomization core 103 in the radial direction R, so that the airflow flows between the inlet end and the outlet end (i.e., the atomization end 1021) along the airflow direction F, and no vortex is generated, so that the aerosol can be taken away more effectively.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6As shown, the airflow direction F in the atomizing chamber 1021 can flow parallel to the atomizing surface, that is, the angle between the airflow direction F and the atomizing surface can be approximately 0°. Of course, the solution according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the airflow direction F can also be at other non-zero angles less than 90° with the atomizing surface.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the air outlet section 1023 of the air flow channel 102 is arranged adjacent to the liquid storage tank 1011 along the radial direction R. On the one hand, this arrangement can maximize the space of the liquid storage tank 1011. On the other hand, the projection of the liquid collection space in the axial direction A can cover the air outlet section 1023. In this way, even if the aerosol flowing in the air outlet section 1023 condenses and produces condensate, the condensate produced can all enter the liquid collection space and be absorbed by the liquid collection piece 106 therein, effectively avoiding the risk of condensate blocking the air flow channel and the air inlet 1013, thereby improving the reliability and user experience of the atomization device 101. The air flow direction in the air outlet section 1023 is parallel to the axial direction A. In some embodiments, the outlet end of the air outlet section 1023 can also adopt the inclined arrangement or arc arrangement of the second air inlet section, thereby preventing the flowing gas from generating vortices at right angles and affecting the flow rate.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in the case where a connector 1016 is provided at the air inlet end of the end seat 1015, in order to facilitate the circulation of airflow, at least one lateral air inlet 1018 may be provided on the connector 1016. The lateral air inlet 1018 is arranged on the radial side wall of the connecting portion 1017. The air inlet 1013 is connected to the outside through at least one lateral air inlet 1018 to obtain air to meet the air intake of the atomizing device 100. In some embodiments, the connector 1016 may include two lateral air inlets 1018 symmetrically arranged on the radial side wall of the connecting portion 1017. In this way, the air intake can be ensured while ensuring the connection strength of the connecting portion 1017. In some alternative embodiments, the connector 1016 may also include one or more than two lateral air inlets 1018 on the radial side wall of the connecting portion 1017, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0063] As mentioned above, according to the atomizing device 100 of the present disclosure, under the action of the suction force of the air outlet 1019, the airflow enters the airflow channel 102 from the air inlet 1013 via the lateral air inlet 1018, and is discharged from the air outlet 1019 after the atomizing chamber effectively takes away the generated aerosol along the airflow direction F. In this way, the airflow is effectively reduced to form vortices in the airflow channel 102, and the outflow rate of the aerosol is increased, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the inlet end and the outlet end of the atomizing chamber 1021 are respectively arranged at both ends of the atomizing core 103 in the radial direction. On the one hand, this is conducive to the angle between the airflow direction F and the atomizing surface being less than 90°, thereby effectively avoiding the generation of vortices. On the other hand, by arranging and reasonably setting the liquid collection space in this way, the formed condensate can effectively enter the liquid collection space without entering the air intake section 1022 and the air intake 1013, thereby avoiding the risk of the air intake 1013 being blocked and the condensate being leaked, and thus further improving the user experience.

[0064] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an atomization device. The atomization device includes an atomization device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure and a power supply for powering the atomization device 100. When the atomization device 100 is powered, the atomization core 3 therein can heat and atomize the liquid atomization matrix to generate an aerosol, so as to generate an aerosol for inhalation.

Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
