Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atomizers, and in particular to an electronic atomizer. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the electronic atomizer market and the increasing requirements of consumers for product quality, the stability and safety of electronic atomizers during transportation, storage and use have become the focus of common concern for manufacturers and users. Especially in the transportation link of electronic atomizers, due to factors such as bumps and temperature changes in the logistics process, traditional electronic atomizers face a significant problem: the liquid to be atomized (such as e-liquid) is easy to flow into the atomization chamber inadvertently. This phenomenon of the liquid to be atomized flowing into the atomization chamber in advance will not only lead to the waste of the liquid to be atomized during transportation, but may also have a negative impact on the overall performance of the electronic atomizer. Specifically, on the one hand, too much liquid to be atomized entering the atomization chamber in advance may cause insufficient atomization, affecting the inhalation taste of the electronic atomizer and the amount of atomization per unit time; on the other hand, when a liquid storage cotton is provided in the atomization chamber, the liquid storage cotton soaked in the liquid to be atomized for a long time may reduce its service life due to oversaturation, and may even easily cause failure of the electronic atomizer. Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] Please also read Figures 1 to 7An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic atomizer, which mainly includes a liquid storage tank 1, an atomization component 2 and a nozzle 3, wherein a liquid storage chamber 1 is provided in the liquid storage tank 1, and the liquid storage chamber 11 is used to store a certain amount of liquid to be atomized (such as e-liquid). A liquid outlet hole 12 is also provided on the liquid storage tank 1, and the liquid outlet hole 12 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 11, and the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 can flow out from the liquid outlet hole 12. Among them, the atomization component 2 is used to receive the liquid to be atomized flowing out from the liquid outlet 12. The structure combined by the atomization component 2 and the liquid storage tank 1 is also called an atomization bomb in the art (if the liquid to be atomized is smoke oil, it can be called a smoke bomb). Among them, the atomization component 2 specifically includes a bracket 21 and an atomization module, wherein an atomization chamber 211 is arranged in the bracket 21, and the atomization module is arranged in the atomization chamber 211. The atomization module preferably includes a liquid storage cotton 22 and a heating module 23. The liquid storage cotton 22 and the heating module 23 are both accommodated in this atomization chamber 211. The heating module 23 and the liquid storage cotton 22 are in direct contact or indirect contact through a heat-conducting component, so that the heating module 23 can heat the liquid storage cotton 22 to atomize the liquid to be atomized inside the liquid storage cotton 22. The outer wall of the bracket 21 is also provided with a liquid inlet channel 212 connected to the atomizing chamber 211, and the suction nozzle 3 is connected to the liquid storage tank 1, and a through suction channel 31 is provided on the suction nozzle 3, and the suction channel 31 connects the outside and the atomizing chamber 211. Specifically, when the atomizing assembly 2 is relative to the liquid storage tank 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the atomizer assembly 2 is in the activated position, the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12 are connected to each other. At this time, the liquid to be atomized flowing out of the liquid outlet hole 12 can enter the atomization chamber 211 along the liquid inlet channel 212 and penetrate into the liquid storage cotton 22. At this time, it is only necessary to start the heating module 23 to heat the liquid storage cotton 22. The liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage cotton 22 will be heated and atomized. After the atomized liquid is atomized in the atomization chamber 211, it will flow out to the outside along the suction channel 31 for the user to inhale. Figure 1 and Figure 2 When it is in the unactivated position as shown, the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12 are not connected, and the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 cannot enter the liquid storage cotton 22.

[0051] Specifically, the suction nozzle 3 of this embodiment has a first installation position and a second installation position on a straight line in the first direction Z relative to the liquid storage tank 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 The nozzle 3 is shown in the first installation position. Figure 3 and Figure 6The suction nozzle 3 is shown in the second installation position. In addition, when the suction nozzle 3 moves along the straight line of the first direction Z, the atomizer assembly 2 will follow the suction nozzle 3 to move synchronously on the straight line of the first direction Z, and when the suction nozzle 3 is located in the first installation position, the atomizer assembly 2 is just located in the unactivated position where the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12 are not connected, and when the suction nozzle 3 is located in the second installation position, the atomizer assembly 2 is located in the activated position where the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12 are connected. In this embodiment, preferably, the suction nozzle 3 is switched from the first installation position to the second installation position by pressing down along the positive direction of the first direction Z. In other embodiments, the suction nozzle 3 can also be switched from the first installation position to the second installation position by pulling up along the reverse direction of the first direction Z.

[0052] To explain the above in more detail, when the electronic atomizer is in a transport state or not in use, the nozzle 3 can be moved to the first installation position (this installation position can also be understood as the nozzle 3 being in a pre-installed state), and the atomizer assembly 2 will be moved to the unactivated position. At this time, the liquid storage chamber 11 and the atomizer chamber 211 inside the electronic atomizer are not connected, that is, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 cannot flow into the liquid storage cotton 22 in the atomizer chamber 211; when the user needs to use the electronic atomizer, he only needs to move the nozzle 3 to the second installation position and move the atomizer assembly 2 to the activated position. At this time, the liquid storage chamber 11 inside the electronic atomizer will be connected to the atomizer chamber 211, that is, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 can flow into the atomizer chamber 211. On the liquid storage cotton 22 inside; this solution realizes the switching of the atomizer component 2 between the activated position and the inactivated position by controlling the suction nozzle 3 to switch between the first installation position and the second installation position, thereby ensuring that the liquid to be atomized flows to the liquid storage cotton 22 only when it needs to be activated, avoiding the waste of the liquid to be atomized and reducing the negative impact on the performance of the electronic atomizer. In addition, on the premise of realizing the function of the atomizer component 2 being able to switch between the activated position and the inactivated position, since this solution does not require additional components to be set on the outer surface to control the position of the atomizer component 2, but changes the position of the atomizer component 2 by changing the installation position of the suction nozzle 3 that must be exposed, this solution is conducive to making the electronic atomizer more simple and beautiful in appearance.

[0053] See also Figure 2 or Figure 4 The electronic atomizer of this embodiment further comprises a sealing member 4, which is located between the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12, and the sealing member 4 will move along the straight line of the first direction Z with the atomizing assembly 2. It is understandable that the sealing member 4 can be sleeved on the atomizing assembly 2 to achieve the purpose of the sealing member 4 moving along the atomizing assembly 2, and the sealing member 4 can also achieve the purpose of the sealing member 4 moving along the atomizing assembly 2 by maintaining elastic resistance with the atomizing assembly 2 in the first direction Z. In fact, when the atomizing assembly 2 is as Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the atomizing assembly 2 is in the unactivated position, the sealing member 4 blocks the gap between the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12, so that the atomizing chamber 211 and the liquid storage chamber 11 are not connected, that is, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 cannot flow into the atomizing chamber 211 along the liquid outlet hole 12 and the liquid inlet channel 212, thereby avoiding the waste of the liquid to be atomized and reducing the negative impact on the performance of the electronic atomizer. By providing the above-mentioned sealing member 4, it is helpful to improve the sealing performance of the gap between the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12 when the atomizing assembly 2 is in the unactivated position, thereby helping to improve the reliability that the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 will not flow into the atomizing chamber 211 when the atomizing assembly 2 is in the unactivated position. Among them, the sealing member 4 is preferably a silicone member with better sealing performance.

[0054] Please also read Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The liquid storage tank 1 is also provided with a through hole 13 arranged adjacent to the liquid storage chamber 11, and the above-mentioned liquid outlet hole 12 connects the liquid storage chamber 11 with the through hole 13, and the above-mentioned bracket 21 is convexly provided with a plug-in portion 213 at the end facing away from the suction nozzle 3, and the above-mentioned liquid inlet channel 212 is arranged on this plug-in portion 213 and penetrates the plug-in portion 213, and the plug-in portion 213 needs to extend into the through hole 13, so that the through hole 13 and the liquid inlet channel 212 are connected, and the above-mentioned sealing member 4 is arranged in this through hole 13, and the sealing member 4 moves on a straight line in the first direction Z following the plug-in portion 213. Such a design is helpful to realize that the seal 4 can block or not block the gap between the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12. In fact, when the atomizer assembly 2 is in the unactivated position, the seal 4 is blocked in the through hole 13 and prevents the liquid to be atomized flowing out of the liquid outlet hole 12 from entering the liquid inlet channel 212 along the through hole 13; when the atomizer assembly 2 is in the activated position, the seal 4 will not block the through hole 13 and allow the liquid inlet channel 212 and the liquid outlet hole 12 to be interconnected through the through hole 13. At this time, the liquid to be atomized flowing out of the liquid outlet hole 12 will flow into the atomization chamber 211 along the through hole 13 and the liquid inlet channel 212 in turn. In this solution, a sealing ring 24 needs to be connected between the outer wall of the plug-in portion 213 and the hole wall of the through hole 13 to prevent the atomized liquid from leaking outward along the gap between the outer wall of the plug-in portion 213 and the inner wall of the through hole 13 when the atomizer assembly 2 is in the activated position. The sealing ring 24 is preferably sleeved on the plug-in portion 213, and the sealing ring 24 can also be fixed on the inner wall of the through hole 13. The following is a more specific description through two more specific embodiments:

[0055] The first specific implementation method: please refer to Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7 ,in Figure 1 The atomizer assembly 2 is in the unactivated position, wherein Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the through hole 13, wherein Figure 3 The atomizer assembly 2 is in the activated position, wherein Figure 4 for Figure 3 A partial enlarged view at the position of the through hole 13. In this specific embodiment, both ends of the through hole 13 penetrate the liquid storage tank 1 (that is, the through hole 13 penetrates the liquid storage tank 1 along the positive direction of the first direction Z, and the through hole 13 also penetrates the liquid storage tank 1 along the reverse direction of the first direction Z), and a stopper 14 is convexly provided on the hole wall of the through hole 13. The stopper 14 is preferably an annular structure. The stopper 14 divides the through hole 13 into a first space 131 and a second space 132 that are adjacently arranged along the first direction Z and interconnected. The above-mentioned plug-in portion 213 extends into the first space 131 and is sealed and connected to the first space 131 through the above-mentioned sealing ring 24 to prevent the liquid to be atomized from flowing along the plug-in portion The outer wall of 213 leaks outward, and the above-mentioned sealing member 4 is installed in the second space 132. Due to the obstruction of the limiting block 14, the above-mentioned sealing member 4 cannot be put into the second space 132 from the opening of the first space 131, and the sealing member 4 can only be put into the second space 132 from the opening. The end of the above-mentioned liquid outlet 12 away from the liquid storage chamber 11 is connected to the second space 132. In order to prevent the atomized liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet 12 from leaking outward at the opening of the second space 132, a blocking block 15 is fixed to the opening of the second space 132 away from the limiting block 14. The blocking block 15 is also preferably made of silicone with better sealing performance. More specifically, the second space 132 is also provided with an elastic member 16 located between the seal 4 and the block 15. The elastic member 16 is preferably a spring. The outer dimensions of the seal 4 are smaller than the dimensions of the second space 132, so that there is a gap between the seal 4 and the inner wall of the second space 132. By setting this gap, the elastic member 16 can reliably bounce the seal 4 upward in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. In addition, the nozzle 3 is provided with a pressing portion 34, which is used to drive the plug-in portion 213 on the bracket 21 to extend from the first space 131 into the second space 132. Specifically, when the atomizer assembly 2 is as Figure 2 When the seal 4 is in the inactivated position as shown, the seal 4 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 16 and abuts against the limit block 14 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. At this time, the plug-in portion 213 is only plugged into the first space 131 and is not inserted into the second space 132. At this time, the seal 4 will block the first space 131 and the second space 132, so that the first space 131 and the second space 132 cannot communicate with each other. That is, at this time, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 and the liquid to be atomized in the second space 132 cannot flow into the atomization chamber 211 along the liquid inlet channel 212. When the atomization assembly 2 needs to be moved to the position shown in FIG. Figure 4When switching the activation position shown, it is only necessary to press the suction nozzle 3 along the positive direction of the first direction Z to switch the suction nozzle 3 from the first installation position to the second installation position. In the process of switching the suction nozzle 3 to the second installation position, the lower pressing portion 34 will push the bracket 21 to move in the positive direction of the first direction Z, so that the plug-in portion 213 of the bracket 21 pushes the seal 4 to move, so that the seal 4 compresses the elastic member 16 in the first direction Z and gradually approaches the block 15. In this process, the plug-in portion 213 will pass over the limit block 14 from the first space 131 and extend into the second space 132. At this time, the first space 131 and the second space 132 will be connected to each other. Since the liquid outlet 12 is connected to the second space 132, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage cavity 11 will flow into the atomization chamber 211 through the liquid outlet 12, the second space 132 and the liquid inlet channel 212 in sequence, that is, the liquid to be atomized can be received by the liquid storage cotton 22. It should be noted that when the plug-in portion 213 on the bracket 21 pushes the seal 4 to move along the positive direction of the first direction Z, the liquid to be atomized located in the second space 132 and below the seal 4 will be squeezed downward by the seal 4 and flow upward along the gap between the seal 4 and the inner wall of the second space 132, and finally flow back upward into the liquid storage cavity 11 or flow upward along the liquid inlet channel 212 into the atomization chamber 211. This solution is based on the structural design of the clearance fit between the seal 4 and the second space 132, and uses the elastic member 16 as the power for the seal 4 to block the gap between the liquid outlet 12 and the liquid inlet channel 212, which has the advantage of high sealing reliability.

[0056] This section provides a supplementary explanation of the first specific implementation method mentioned above. In the specific solution in the previous section, the nozzle 3 can be fixedly connected to the bracket 21 of the atomizer assembly 2, so that the atomizer assembly 2 moves along with the nozzle 3 in the first direction. In this case, when the nozzle 3 is disassembled, it will be taken out together with the atomizer assembly 2. Alternatively, the nozzle 3 may not be fixedly connected to the bracket 21 of the atomizer assembly 2. In this case, when the atomizer assembly 2 is in the activated position, the bracket 21 of the atomizer assembly 2 will be elastically offset against the nozzle 3 due to the elastic force of the elastic member 16. In this case, when the nozzle 3 is disassembled, the atomizer assembly 2 will not be disassembled together with the nozzle 3.

[0057] The second specific implementation method: Please refer to Figures 8 to 11 ,in Figure 8 The atomizer assembly 2 is in the unactivated position, wherein Fig. 9 for Figure 8 A partial enlarged view of the through hole 13, wherein Fig.10 The atomizer assembly 2 is in the activated position, wherein Fig.11 for Fig.10In this specific embodiment, the seal 4 is sleeved on the plug-in portion 213, so that the seal 4 will move along with the atomizer assembly 2 in the first direction Z. In addition, the seal 4 and the through hole 13 of this solution are interference fit. Fig. 9 When the atomizer assembly 2 is in the unactivated position as shown, the sealing member 4 just blocks the end of the liquid outlet 12 away from the liquid storage chamber 11, so that the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 cannot flow from the liquid outlet 12 into the through hole 13, and further the liquid to be atomized cannot flow into the atomization chamber 211. Fig.11 When the seal 4 is in the activated position as shown, it will be away from the liquid outlet 12 to open the liquid outlet 12. At this time, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage chamber 11 flows from the liquid outlet 12 into the through hole 13 and can flow into the atomization chamber 211 along the liquid inlet channel 212. In this solution, since the seal 4 and the through hole 13 are interference fit and the thickness of the seal 4 is designed to be thicker in order to block the liquid outlet 12, there is a large maximum static friction between the seal 4 and the hole wall of the through hole 13. In order to ensure that the suction nozzle 3 can drive the atomization assembly 2 and the seal 4 to move together when moving in a straight line in the first direction Z, this specific embodiment needs to design the suction nozzle 3 and the bracket 21 of the atomization assembly 2 to be fixedly connected. The fixed connection between the two can be through a connecting fastener (such as a bolt or a machine screw) or a snap connection.

[0058] This section provides additional explanations for the second specific implementation method mentioned above. Please refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.11, a limiting portion 133 is convexly provided on the inner wall of the through hole 13, and the limiting portion 133 is arranged on the path of the seal 4 moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. An extrusion slope 2131 is provided at the end of the plug-in portion 213 of the bracket 21 away from the suction nozzle 3, and a groove 2132 for the inner ring of the seal 4 to be embedded is provided at the adjacent position of the extrusion slope 2131 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. Specifically, in this scheme, it is preferably necessary to first pull out the whole composed of the atomizer component 2 and the suction nozzle 3 before filling the liquid storage tank 1. When the suction nozzle 3 and the atomizer component 2 are pulled out in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, the plug-in portion 213 of the bracket 21 will pull the seal 4 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, and the seal 4 will eventually be blocked by the limiting portion 133 and cannot continue to move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. At this time, a little force can be applied to make the seal 4 disengage from the groove 2132 on the plug-in portion 213, so as to separate the atomizer component 2 and the suction nozzle 3. The whole formed by the nozzle 3 is pulled outward, and the sealing member 4 will stay in the through hole 13 of the liquid storage tank 1. Since the sealing member 4 abuts against the limiting portion 133 at this time, the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage tank 1 will not leak outward along the through hole 13. Preferably, when the sealing member 4 abuts against the limiting portion 133, the sealing member 4 just blocks the liquid outlet 12 to further reduce the risk of leakage of the liquid to be atomized along the through hole 13. Then, the liquid storage tank 1 is pulled out and turned over 180° to replenish the liquid to be atomized in the liquid storage tank 1. When the liquid storage tank 1 is filled with liquid, the liquid storage tank 1 is first installed into the shell 5, and then the whole formed by the suction nozzle 3 and the atomizer assembly 2 is inserted into the through hole 13 of the liquid storage tank 1 along the first direction Z, and the atomizer assembly 2 will be received in the mounting hole 17 of the liquid storage tank 1. During the plug-in process, the extrusion bevel 2131 on the plug-in portion 213 of the bracket 21 will gradually squeeze the inner hole of the seal 4 until the extrusion bevel 2131 passes over the seal 4, and the seal 4 will be re-embedded into the groove 2132 of the plug-in portion 213, so that the seal 4 is firmly sleeved on the plug-in portion 213 again and can reliably follow the plug-in portion 213 to move in the through hole 13. After being plugged in place, the suction nozzle 3 can be plugged into the first installation position or the second installation position relative to the liquid storage tank 1 according to actual needs.

[0059] See also Figure 7 Preferably, a mounting hole 17 is also provided in the liquid storage tank 1. The liquid storage cavity 11 is preferably an annular structure surrounding the mounting hole 17, so that the liquid storage tank 1 has the advantage of a larger liquid storage capacity. The mounting hole 17 is used to accommodate the atomizing assembly 2, so that the structure of the atomizing bomb composed of the liquid storage tank 1 and the atomizing assembly 2 is more compact and reasonable. In addition, a boss 18 is convexly provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 17, and the above-mentioned through hole 13 is provided in the boss 18. The liquid storage tank 1 with such a structure not only realizes the basic function of storing liquid, but also has the function of accommodating the atomizing assembly 2, and can also achieve the purpose of accommodating the sealing member 4 in a simple structural manner.

[0060] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 or Fig.11 Preferably, the atomizing assembly 2 also includes a liquid guiding cotton 25, see Fig.12 A first hole 221 and a second hole 222 are provided on the liquid storage cotton 22, wherein the above-mentioned heating module 23 is accommodated in the first hole 221 and contacts the hole wall of the first hole 221; wherein a part of the liquid-conducting cotton 25 is accommodated in the second hole 222 and has an interference fit with the second hole 222, and another part of the liquid-conducting cotton 25 is accommodated in the liquid inlet channel 212, and the liquid-conducting cotton 25 is used to guide the liquid to be atomized flowing out of the liquid outlet 12 to flow upward into the liquid storage cotton 22, thereby improving the efficiency of the liquid storage cotton 22 in receiving the liquid to be atomized. wherein, the design that the liquid-conducting cotton 25 is penetrated into the second hole 222 and has an interference fit with the second hole 222 can increase the contact area between the liquid-conducting cotton 25 and the liquid storage cotton 22, thereby further improving the efficiency of the liquid storage cotton 22 in receiving the liquid to be atomized.

[0061] Please also read Figures 5 to 7 The outer wall of the liquid storage tank 1 is provided with a protrusion 19, and the suction nozzle 3 is provided with a first card slot 32 and a second card slot 33 arranged in sequence along the positive direction of the first direction Z. After the suction nozzle 3 is installed on the liquid storage tank 1, when the protrusion 19 is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 When the nozzle 3 is inserted into the second slot 33 as shown in FIG. 1 , the nozzle 3 is located at the first installation position; when the protrusion 19 is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 When the nozzle 3 is inserted into the first slot 32, the nozzle 3 is located at the second installation position. By designing the liquid storage tank 1 and the nozzle 3 as the above-mentioned buckle connection, the nozzle 3 can be switched between the first installation position and the second installation position in a simple structure.

[0062] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 3 The electronic atomizer also includes a housing 5, in which an upwardly open mounting groove 51 is provided, in which a part of the suction nozzle 3, the liquid storage tank 1 and the atomizing assembly 2 are all accommodated, and an outer wall of the housing 5 is provided with an air inlet 52 which is respectively connected with the mounting groove 51 and the atomizing chamber 211, so that the air pressure inside the atomizing chamber 211 is always close to or equal to the external atmospheric pressure, so that the user can smoothly absorb the atomized liquid through the suction channel 31 of the suction nozzle 3. In addition, when the suction nozzle 3 is as Figure 3 As shown in the second installation position, the suction nozzle 3 and the outer wall of the shell 5 are abutted against each other. Based on this, the outer wall of the shell 5 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of notches 53 at the position where the suction nozzle 3 is connected, so that the user can insert the fingers into the notches 53 to pull out the suction nozzle 3, that is, it is convenient for the user to pull out the suction nozzle 3 located at the first installation position to the second installation position, which has the advantage of easy operation.

[0063] Please refer again Figure 1 The electronic atomizer of this embodiment also includes a power supply module 6, which is also accommodated inside the shell 5. Moreover, the power supply module 6 is located on the side of the liquid storage tank 1 facing away from the suction nozzle 3 (it can also be understood that the power supply module 6 is located at the bottom of the internal space of the shell 5). The power supply module 6 is also electrically connected to the heating module 23 to provide the required electrical energy for the heating module 23 to generate heat. The above-mentioned liquid storage tank 1 is provided with an injection hole 10 at one end facing the power supply module 6 (it can be understood as the bottom end of the liquid storage tank 1), and a plug 7 is provided at the injection hole 10. The plug 7 is also preferably a silicone member with better sealing performance. Specifically, when the liquid storage chamber 11 needs to be replenished with the liquid to be atomized, it is only necessary to take out the liquid storage tank 1 upwards (the liquid storage tank 1 can be pulled out together with the suction nozzle 3, or the suction nozzle 3 can be pulled out separately first, and then the liquid storage tank 1 is pulled out. If the suction nozzle 3 and the bracket 21 of the atomization component 2 are fixedly connected, the atomization component 2 will be pulled out together with the suction nozzle 3 when the suction nozzle 3 is pulled out), and then the liquid storage tank 1 is turned over 180°, that is, the liquid storage tank 1 is turned upside down, and then the plug 7 is pulled out to inject the liquid to be atomized into the liquid injection hole 10; when the liquid to be atomized is replenished, the liquid storage tank 1 and the suction nozzle 3 are re-installed into the shell 5. Among them, the power supply module 6 specifically includes a battery 61, a circuit board 62 and a charging interface 63. The circuit board 62 is electrically connected to the battery 61, the charging interface 63 and the heating module 23 respectively, so that the circuit board 62 can charge external electrical energy into the battery 61 and can control the working state of the heating module 23 (such as turning on, off and heating power of the heating module 23). The outer wall of the shell 5 is provided with an avoidance hole 54 that passes through the installation groove 51 at the position corresponding to the charging interface 63, so that the external charging cable can be connected to the charging interface 63.

[0064] Please refer again Figure 1 The first direction Z is preferably designed to be the same as the direction in which the nozzle 3, the liquid storage tank 1 and the power supply module 6 are arranged in sequence. In other embodiments, the first direction Z can also be designed to be a horizontal direction or an oblique direction.
