[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 7According to the embodiment of the present application, the support includes a support body 100, and the same side of the support body 100 has an air inlet groove 110 and an atomization groove 120 that are interconnected. The air inlet groove 110 is used to enclose with the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300 to form an air inlet channel a, and the atomization groove 120 is used to enclose with the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300 to form an atomization channel b.

[0040] During assembly, the air inlet channel a and the atomization channel b in the air flow channel of the atomizer can be enclosed by the support body 100 and the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300, thereby simplifying the relevant structure to reduce the required parts, which is beneficial to reducing the difficulty of assembly to improve production efficiency, and at the same time is beneficial to reducing production costs.

[0041] In some of the embodiments, one side of the support body 100 having the air inlet groove 110 and the atomization groove 120 is a contact plane that cooperates with the liquid-conducting liquid 200 or the heating element 300. The liquid-conducting liquid 200 or the heating element 300 is in contact with the contact plane to cover the notches of the air inlet groove 110 and the atomization groove 120, thereby enclosing an air inlet channel a and an atomization channel b.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the support body 100 has an air outlet groove 130 on one side of the air inlet groove 110 and the atomizing groove 120. The air inlet groove 110, the atomizing groove 120 and the air outlet groove 130 are connected in sequence, and the air outlet groove 130 is used to enclose with the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300 to form an air outlet channel c. During assembly, the support body 100 and the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300 can not only enclose the air inlet channel a and the atomizing channel b in the air flow channel of the atomizer, but also enclose the air outlet channel c in the air flow channel of the atomizer, which is conducive to further simplifying the relevant structure to reduce the required parts.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some of the embodiments, a liquid collecting tank 140 is provided on the support body 100, and the liquid collecting tank 140 is connected to at least one of the atomization tank 120 and the gas outlet tank 130. The condensate formed inside at least one of the atomization tank 120 and the gas outlet tank 130 is collected by the liquid collecting tank 140, which helps to reduce the risk of the condensate leaking to the outside.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3In some of the embodiments, the liquid collecting tank 140 is arranged on the side where the atomization tank 120 and the air outlet tank 130 are located among the side surfaces of the support body 100, so that the slot of the liquid collecting tank 140 can be closed by the liquid guiding body 200 or the heating element 300, thereby helping to reduce the risk of the condensed liquid in the liquid collecting tank 140 leaking to the outside.

[0045] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the liquid collecting tank 140 is disposed on the side of each side of the support body 100 where the outlet end of the outlet tank 130 is located, which is not limited here. In this case, the notch of the liquid collecting tank 140 can be closed by the side wall of the oil cup 400, and an operation port for cleaning the condensate in the liquid collecting tank 140 can also be provided on the side wall of the oil cup 400, and an openable and closable cover can be provided at the operation port.

Since the air inlet groove 110 includes the first section 111 and the second section 112 extending in different directions and communicating with each other, it is helpful to increase the difficulty of the condensate in the air inlet groove 110 leaking to the outside through the air inlet 150.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first section 111, the atomization groove 120 and the air outlet groove 130 all extend along the first direction, the first section 111 is spaced apart from the atomization groove 120 in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the second section 112 extends along the second direction, and the air inlet 150 is located at one end of the first section 111 close to the air outlet groove 130, thereby further increasing the difficulty of the condensate in the air inlet groove 110 leaking to the outside through the air inlet 150.

The two liquid collecting tanks 140 are symmetrically arranged about the atomization tank 120, so as to accommodate more condensate, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of condensate leaking to the outside.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6In some of the embodiments, a limiting protrusion 190 is provided at the edge of one side of the support body 100 having the air inlet groove 110 and the atomization groove 120. The limiting protrusion 190 encloses an installation space for accommodating the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300. During assembly, the installation space enclosed by the limiting protrusion 190 can position the liquid-conducting body 200 or the heating element 300, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of assembly.

At least part of the heating element 300 is exposed in the atomization channel b. The extension direction of the atomization channel b intersects with the third direction, that is, the first direction intersects with the third direction.

Among them, the liquid-conducting liquid 200 is provided with a portion of a side of the heating element 300 that is not blocked by the heating element 300 covering the notch of at least one of the air inlet groove 110 and the liquid collecting groove 140, so that the liquid-conducting liquid 200 can absorb the leaked liquid (i.e., atomized liquid) or condensed liquid inside at least one of the air inlet groove 110 and the liquid collecting groove 140, so that the heating element 300 can heat and atomize the leaked liquid or condensed liquid absorbed by the liquid-conducting liquid 200 again.

[0060] It should be noted that the third direction is the Z direction in the accompanying drawings. Specifically, in some embodiments, the second direction and the third direction are both lateral directions parallel to the horizontal plane, the first direction is the longitudinal direction (i.e., the direction parallel to the gravity direction), and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
