Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of atomizers, and more particularly to an electronic atomizer. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent liquid from prematurely entering the atomization chamber from the reservoir, which could lead to flavor loss and shorten the lifespan of the internal atomizing components, existing electronic atomizers typically design their reservoir and atomization chambers as relatively isolated. The liquid is only connected when needed by the user via buttons or knobs, allowing the liquid to enter the atomization chamber and be heated and atomized. Based on this design, existing electronic atomizers require coordination of three physical processes to achieve atomization: activating the circuit board to control the heating of the atomizing components, supplying liquid from the reservoir to the atomizing components, and regulating the amount of external air intake. However, existing e-cigarettes mostly employ independent control methods to achieve these three physical processes. Specifically, existing e-cigarettes typically feature a separate circuit board control switch, a separate airflow regulator for adjusting airflow, and a separate liquid inlet control (usually a ceramic valve or silicone plug) for controlling the flow of liquid from the reservoir to the atomization chamber. Users must operate these three control components separately, which is extremely cumbersome and negatively impacts the user experience. Furthermore, multiple independent control components increase assembly difficulty and failure rates, failing to meet the demands of high-efficiency, high-quality production in current e-cigarette manufacturing. Therefore, improvements to existing e-cigarettes are necessary.

[0003] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an electronic atomizer, which mainly solves the technical problem of how to simultaneously control the power supply to and from the circuit board, the liquid supply and demand, and the gas flow rate with a single button press.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An electronic atomizer includes a housing, an atomizing component, a circuit board, a control switch, a movable component, and operation keys; The housing contains a liquid storage chamber and an atomizing chamber. It also contains a liquid inlet chamber located below the liquid storage chamber and connecting the liquid storage chamber and the atomizing chamber. Furthermore, it contains an air inlet chamber communicating with the atomizing chamber, with an air inlet on its wall. A first liquid inlet hole is provided between the liquid inlet chamber and the liquid storage chamber, and a second liquid inlet hole is provided between the liquid inlet chamber and the atomizing chamber. The atomizing component is housed within the atomizing chamber and is used to receive liquid from the second liquid inlet hole. A circuit board is fixed within the housing and electrically connected to the atomizing component. A control switch is located on one side of the movable component and is fixed relative to the housing, controlling the circuit board to start or stop. The movable component is movably connected to the housing. An operation key protrudes outward relative to the housing and is connected to the movable component. The operation key controls the movable component to switch between a first position and a second position relative to the housing. When the movable component is in the first position, it simultaneously blocks the first liquid inlet and the air inlet, and the movable component is separated from the control switch so that the control switch is in the off state; when the movable component is in the second position, the control switch is pressed by the movable component and is in the closed state, and the first liquid inlet is in the open state so that the liquid storage chamber is connected to the liquid inlet cavity, and the air inlet is also in the open state and connected to the outside air.

[0006] In one of the technical solutions, the active component includes a liquid supply control component and a gas adjustment control component that are fixedly connected; At least one of the liquid supply control component and the gas adjustment control component is rotatably connected to the housing. The operation key is fixedly connected to the liquid supply control component or the gas adjustment control component and is used to control the liquid supply control component and the gas adjustment control component to switch between the first position and the second position relative to the housing. The liquid supply control component is provided with a first opening, and the gas control component is provided with a second opening that communicates with the outside air. When the active component is in the first position, the surface of the liquid supply control component blocks the first liquid inlet, the surface of the gas control component blocks the air inlet, and both the liquid supply control component and the gas control component are separated from the control switch so that the control switch is in the off state. When the active component is in the second position, the control switch is closed by pressure from the liquid supply control or the gas adjustment control. The first opening is connected to the first liquid inlet to open the first liquid inlet, and the second opening is connected to the air inlet to open the air inlet.

[0007] In one of the technical solutions, the electronic atomizer further includes a sealing element, which is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber to seal the opening of the liquid storage chamber. The sealing element is provided with the first liquid inlet hole and a through sealing hole. The liquid supply control component includes a connected sealing part and a plug-in part. The sealing part is disposed in the liquid storage chamber, and the plug-in part extends out of the liquid storage chamber from the sealing hole. The sealing hole is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the plug-in part. The first opening is disposed on the sealing part, and the gas regulating control component is fixedly connected to the plug-in part. The electronic atomizer also includes an elastic element disposed between the sealing element and the gas control element. The gas control element is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element to cause the sealing part to press downward against the sealing element, so that when the movable component is in the first position, the surface of the sealing part can block the first liquid inlet.

[0008] In one of the technical solutions, the movable component further includes a bolt, the air regulating control element is sleeved on the plug portion, the plug portion has a threaded hole at the end away from the sealing portion, and the bolt is connected to the threaded hole and drives the air regulating control element to compress the elastic element.

[0009] In one of the technical solutions, the sealing element has at least one sealing strip protruding on the side facing the sealing portion and at the outer edge of the first liquid inlet hole. The sealing element also has a support strip protruding on the side facing the sealing portion. One end of the support strip is connected to the sealing strip. The sealing portion is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element and simultaneously abuts against the sealing strip and the support strip downwards.

[0010] In one of the technical solutions, the electronic atomizer further includes a sealing block disposed on one side of the gas control component. The sealing block is provided with the air inlet. The side of the sealing block facing the gas control component has a raised strip around the air inlet. At least when the movable component is in the first position, the outer wall of the gas control component abuts against the raised strip.

[0011] In one technical solution, the control switch is disposed on one side of the plug-in portion, and the side of the gas regulating control component facing the control switch is provided with a circumferentially extending trigger surface and a non-trigger surface. When the movable component rotates to the first position, the non-trigger surface faces the control switch and there is a gap between the non-trigger surface and the control switch. When the movable component rotates to the second position, the trigger surface applies pressure to the control switch to make the control switch closed. A transition slope connects the trigger surface and the non-trigger surface.

[0012] In one of the technical solutions, as the movable component rotates from the first position to the second position, the overlapping area of ​​the first opening and the first liquid inlet increases, and the overlapping area of ​​the second opening and the air inlet also increases.

[0013] In one of the technical solutions, a limiting groove is provided on the outer wall of the housing to limit the rotation stroke of the gas regulating control component. The limiting groove is connected to the second opening. An elastic protrusion is provided on the gas regulating control component. The housing is provided with a first positioning hole, a second positioning hole, and a third positioning hole arranged circumferentially at the top or bottom of the limiting groove, all for the elastic protrusion to be inserted into. When the elastic protrusion is inserted into the first positioning hole, the movable component is in the first position; When the elastic protrusion is embedded in the second positioning hole, the first opening and the first liquid inlet only partially overlap to open the first liquid inlet, and the second opening and the air inlet only partially overlap to open the air inlet. When the elastic protrusion is embedded in the third positioning hole, the first opening completely overlaps with the first liquid inlet to make the first liquid inlet fully open, and the second opening also completely overlaps with the air inlet to make the air inlet fully open.

[0014] In one of the technical solutions, the housing is further provided with an air intake channel communicating with the air intake chamber. The electronic atomizer also includes a sensor switch disposed on the path of the air intake channel. The sensor switch is electrically connected to the circuit board and is used to trigger the circuit board to automatically supply power to the atomizing component.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the electronic atomizer provided by the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This design allows for linear sliding of the operation keys, which drives the movable component to switch between a first position and a second position. When the movable component is in the first position, it simultaneously blocks the first liquid inlet and the air inlet to cut off the flow of liquid from the reservoir to the atomizing chamber, preventing the loss of flavor from the liquid inside the atomizer and damage to the lifespan of the atomizing component. At this time, the movable component is separated from the control switch, so that the control switch is in the off state, and the circuit board cannot provide the necessary power to the atomizing component. When the movable component is in the second position, it applies pressure to the control switch to close it and enable the circuit board to be powered on. At this time, the circuit board can control the heating of the atomizing component, and both the first liquid inlet and the air inlet are open, allowing the liquid in the reservoir to flow into the atomizing chamber and allowing outside air to enter the atomizing chamber through the air inlet.

[0016] As can be seen from the above, this solution designs the active components to be physically coupled with the first liquid inlet, the air inlet, and the control switch, respectively. With one button, the functions of powering on and off the circuit board, supplying and cutting off the liquid in the storage chamber, and regulating the gas flow can be completed simultaneously. This greatly simplifies the cumbersome operation of the atomizer for users. This minimalist design with one-button operation is conducive to significantly improving the user experience.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides an electronic atomizer, which mainly includes a housing 1, an atomizing component 2, a circuit board 3, a control switch 4, a movable component 5, and an operation key 6. The following is a detailed description of each of the above components: The housing 1 contains a liquid storage chamber 11 and an atomizing chamber 12. The liquid storage chamber 11 stores the liquid to be atomized. To prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 from flowing into the atomizing chamber 12 when the atomizer is not in use, a liquid inlet chamber 13 is provided between the liquid storage chamber 11 and the atomizing chamber 12 inside the housing 1. The liquid inlet chamber 13 is specifically arranged below the liquid storage chamber 11. The liquid inlet chamber 13 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 11 through a first liquid inlet hole 14 and to the atomizing chamber 12 through a second liquid inlet hole 15. The atomizing component 2 is arranged inside the atomizing chamber 12. In addition, the housing 1 also contains an air inlet chamber 16 that is connected to the atomizing chamber 12. An air inlet 17 is provided on the wall of the air inlet chamber 16, through which outside air can enter the air inlet chamber 16.

[0026] The circuit board 3 is fixed inside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the atomizing component 2. The circuit board 3 provides the electrical energy required for atomization to the atomizing component 2. Preferably, the electronic atomizer in this embodiment also includes a battery 7, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 uses the electrical energy from the battery 7 to power the atomizing component 2, thus meeting the requirement that the electronic atomizer can be used wirelessly. If the electronic atomizer is designed for plug-in use, the battery 7 may not be included inside the electronic atomizer. In this case, the circuit board 3 is designed to use an external power source to provide electrical energy to the atomizing component 2.

[0027] The control switch 4 is fixed relative to the housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The control switch 4 is used to control the circuit board 3 to start or stop. Moreover, the control switch 4 is located on one side of the movable component 5, so that the movable component 5 can touch the control switch 4 when it is in motion. When the electronic atomizer uses the battery 7, this control switch 4 is equivalent to being connected in series between the circuit board 3 and the battery 7 to control the circuit board 3 to turn off or on.

[0028] The movable component 5 and the housing 1 are movably connected. This connection can be either a relative linear sliding motion or a relative rotation. The operation key 6 is connected to the movable component 5 and protrudes outward relative to the housing 1. The operation key 6 can be designed as an independent component fixed separately from the movable component 5, or it can be designed as an operating part extending outward from a component inside the movable component 5. Specifically, the operation key 6 is used to control the switching movement of the movable component 5 relative to the housing 1 between a first position and a second position. Figure 4 The diagram shown is an internal structural diagram of the electronic atomizer in this embodiment when the active component 5 is in the first position. Figure 10 This is an internal structural diagram of the electronic atomizer in this embodiment when the active component 5 is in the second position, wherein... Figure 8 This is an internal structural diagram of an electronic atomizer when the active component 5 moves to an intermediate position between the first and second positions.

[0029] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the active component 5 is in the first position, it simultaneously blocks the first liquid inlet 14 and the air inlet 17. At this time, the liquid in the storage chamber 11 cannot flow into the liquid inlet chamber 13 from the first liquid inlet 14. Therefore, the liquid in the storage chamber 11 cannot flow into the atomizing chamber 12, thereby cutting off the flow of liquid from the storage chamber 11 to the atomizing chamber 12. This avoids the loss of the liquid flavor inside the atomizer and damage to the lifespan of the atomizing component 2. Moreover, at this time, the active component 5 is separated from the control switch 4, so that the control switch 4 is in the off state. That is, the circuit board 3 is in the off state, and the circuit board 3 cannot drive the atomizing component 2 to heat up.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the active component 5 is in the second position, the control switch 4 is closed by the active component 5, that is, the circuit board 3 is in the powered-on state. At this time, the circuit board 3 can drive the atomizing component 2 to heat up. Moreover, the first liquid inlet 14 is open, so that the liquid storage chamber 11 is connected to the liquid inlet chamber 13. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 can flow into the atomizing chamber 12. In addition, the air inlet 17 is also open and connected to the outside air. In fact, this is the use state of the electronic atomizer. At this time, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 first enters the liquid inlet chamber 13 through the first liquid inlet 14 and then flows into the atomizing chamber 12 through the second liquid inlet 15. Then, the liquid is atomized by the atomizing component 2 and discharged outward for the user to inhale. During the user's inhalation, outside air enters from the air inlet 17, passes through the atomizing chamber 12 and is inhaled by the user, so that the atomized material in the atomizing chamber 12 can be smoothly inhaled by the user.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, this solution designs the active component 5 to be physically coupled with the first liquid inlet 14, the air inlet 17 and the control switch 4 respectively. With one button, the functions of powering on and off the circuit board 3, supplying and cutting off the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 and regulating the gas flow can be completed simultaneously. This greatly simplifies the cumbersome operation of the atomizer for users. This one-button operation design is conducive to greatly improving the user experience.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 as well as Figure 10 and Figure 11 To facilitate processing and assembly, the movable component 5 is specifically designed to include a liquid supply control component 51 and a gas control component 52 that are separately and fixedly connected. At least one of the liquid supply control component 51 and the gas control component 52 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. In other words, the movable component 5 in this embodiment preferably switches between a first position and a second position by rotating relative to the housing 1. The operation key 6 can be designed to be fixedly connected to the liquid supply control component 51, or it can be designed to be fixedly connected to the gas control component 52. Both connection methods of the operation key 6 can control the entire movable component 5 to rotate relative to the housing 1. More specifically, the liquid supply control component 51 is provided with a first opening 5111, and the gas control component 52 is provided with a second opening 521 communicating with the outside air. The following two sections will describe the movable component 5 in more detail at different positions: Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the active component 5 is in the first position, the surface of the liquid supply control component 51 blocks the first liquid inlet hole 14, and the surface of the gas control component 52 blocks the air inlet 17. Moreover, both the liquid supply control component 51 and the gas control component 52 are separated from the control switch 4. At this time, the liquid supply from the liquid storage chamber 11 to the atomizing chamber 12 is cut off, and the external gas is also cut off from entering the atomizing chamber 12 from the air inlet 17. At the same time, the circuit between the circuit board 3 and the battery 7 is cut off, so that the circuit board 3 is in the off state.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the active component 5 is in the second position, the control switch 4 is closed by the liquid supply control component 51 or the air adjustment control component 52. The first opening 5111 is connected to the first liquid inlet 14 to open the first liquid inlet 14, and the second opening 521 is connected to the air inlet 17 to open the air inlet 17. At this time, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 can enter the liquid inlet chamber 13 from the first liquid inlet 14 and then enter the atomization chamber 12. At this time, the outside air can enter the atomization chamber 12. At this time, the circuit board 3 is in the power-on state and can start the atomization component 2 to heat up.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As the movable component 5 rotates from the first position to the second position, the overlapping area of ​​the first opening 5111 and the first liquid inlet 14 is designed to increase, and the overlapping area of ​​the second opening 521 and the air inlet 17 also increases. In other words, as the movable component 5 rotates from the first position to the second position, the efficiency of the liquid supply from the liquid storage chamber 11 to the atomizing chamber 12 becomes faster and faster. At the same time, when the user inhales into the atomizing chamber 12, the flow rate of outside air entering the atomizing chamber 12 also increases. This achieves the effect of simultaneously increasing the air intake and liquid supply efficiency with one click, avoiding the phenomenon that the atomized material is difficult to be drawn out when the atomization efficiency is adjusted to a high level. This significantly reduces the risk of condensation inside the electronic atomizer and greatly optimizes the user experience.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 A limiting groove 18 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. This limiting groove 18 can limit the rotation stroke of the air regulating control component 52, thereby ensuring that the movable component 5 can only rotate between the first position and the second position. Preferably, this limiting groove 18 also serves as an air inlet groove. The limiting groove 18 is connected to the second opening 521 mentioned above. When the second opening 521 is connected to the air inlet 17, outside air can enter from the limiting groove 18 and enter the atomizing chamber 12 from the air inlet 17. Furthermore, to accurately prompt the user to switch to the first or second position, the gas control component 52 is provided with an elastic protrusion 522. Correspondingly, the housing 1 is provided with a first positioning hole 191, a second positioning hole 192, and a third positioning hole 193 arranged circumferentially at the top or bottom of the limiting groove 18. When the elastic protrusion 522 is embedded in the first positioning hole 191, the movable component 5 is in the first position. When the elastic protrusion 522 is embedded in the second positioning hole 192 or the third positioning hole 193, both of these positions can be understood as the movable component 5 being in the second position. Specifically, Figure 8 This is an internal structural diagram of the atomizer when the elastic protrusion 522 is embedded in the second positioning hole 192, as shown. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the first opening 5111 and the first liquid inlet 14 only partially overlap to open the first liquid inlet 14, and at this time, the second opening 521 and the air inlet 17 also only partially overlap to open the air inlet 17. In other words, at this time, the liquid supply efficiency and gas flow rate of the atomizer have not reached the maximum. Figure 10 This is an internal structural diagram of the atomizer when the elastic protrusion 522 is embedded in the third positioning hole 193, as shown. Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, at this time, the first opening 5111 completely overlaps with the first liquid inlet 14, so that the first liquid inlet 14 is fully open. Similarly, the second opening 521 completely overlaps with the air inlet 17, so that the air inlet 17 is also fully open. In other words, the atomizer's liquid supply efficiency and gas flow rate are both at their maximum at this time. This design allows users to accurately switch between the three speed settings, further enhancing the user experience.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with an air intake channel 10, which is connected to the air intake chamber 16. That is, outside air can enter the atomization chamber 12 through the air intake channel 10. In addition, the electronic atomizer in this embodiment also includes a sensor switch 8 disposed on the path of the air intake channel 10. The sensor switch 8 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3. When the control switch 4 is closed to put the circuit board 3 in the power-on state, the circuit board 3 uses the power of the battery 7 to power the sensor switch 8. When the user inhales into the atomization chamber 12, it will cause the air intake channel 10 to generate negative pressure. Thanks to the pressure-sensitive sensing performance of the sensor switch 8, the sensor switch 8 can sense that the user is inhaling into the atomization chamber 12. At this time, the sensor switch 8 can be used to trigger the circuit board 3 to automatically power the atomization component 2, thereby realizing the function of automatically starting the atomization component 2 to heat up and atomize, improving the intelligence of the electronic atomizer, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0037] The structure of the active component 5 in this embodiment and related details will be described in more detail below.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5The liquid supply control component 51 of the active component 5 includes a connected sealing part 511 and a plug-in part 512. The sealing part 511 is disposed inside the liquid storage chamber 11 and has the aforementioned first opening 5111. The plug-in part 512 extends downward relative to the liquid storage chamber 11, and the aforementioned gas control component 52 is specifically fixedly connected to this plug-in part 512. In fact, the electronic atomizer also includes a sealing component 9, which is preferably a silicone component with good sealing performance. The sealing component 9 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 11 to seal the opening of the liquid storage chamber 11 and prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 from leaking downward. The sealing component 9 has the aforementioned first liquid inlet hole 14. In addition, the sealing component 9 also has a through sealing hole 91 through which the aforementioned plug-in part 512 extends downward. Moreover, the sealing hole 91 and the outer wall of the plug-in part 512 are interference-fitted to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 from leaking downward along the outer wall of the plug-in part 512. Therefore, the sealing element 9 simultaneously serves the dual functions of sealing the opening of the liquid storage chamber 11 and sealing the outer wall of the insertion part 512. Furthermore, the electronic atomizer of this embodiment also includes an elastic element 100, preferably a spring. The elastic element 100 is disposed between the sealing element 9 and the gas control element 52. When the gas control element 52 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element 100, the sealing part 511 is forced downward against the sealing element 9. This allows the surface of the sealing part 511 of the liquid supply control element 51 to block the first liquid inlet hole 14 on the sealing element 9 when the movable component 5 is in the first position. This improves the reliability of cutting off the liquid supply from the liquid storage chamber 11 to the atomization chamber 12 when the movable component 5 is in the first position.

[0039] Please refer to them again. Figures 3 to 5The movable component 5 preferably also includes a bolt 53. The aforementioned gas regulating control component 52 is sleeved on the insertion part 512. The end of the insertion part 512 away from the sealing part 511 (which can also be understood as the bottom end of the insertion part 512) is provided with a threaded hole 5121. The bolt 53 is connected in this threaded hole 5121 and pushes the gas regulating control component 52 to compress the aforementioned elastic element 100. With this design, the compression amount of the elastic element 100 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the pressure between the sealing part 511 and the sealing element 9. This facilitates adjusting the sealing part 511 to a state that can reliably block the first liquid inlet hole 14 on the sealing element 9. In addition, by rotating... Tighten bolt 53 and slightly adjust the compression of elastic element 100 (in fact, when bolt 53 rotates and moves upward, bolt 53 pushes elastic element 100 through adjustment control element 52, causing the compression of elastic element 100 to increase; when bolt 53 rotates and moves downward, elastic element 100 will increase in length due to its own elasticity, causing the compression to decrease). This design can fine-tune the static friction between sealing part 511 and sealing element 9, thereby adjusting the feel when the movable component 5 rotates between the first and second positions, which helps to ensure better consistency of the feel when the movable component 5 of each electronic atomizer rotates.

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 To illustrate this more clearly, let's consider the section connecting the gas control component 52 and the operation key 6 as a connecting rod 50. This connecting rod 50 can be integrally formed with the gas control component 52 or the operation key 6. The connecting rod 50 is located within the limiting groove 18, allowing the external operation key 6 to be fixed to the internal gas control component 52. Furthermore, the thickness T1 of this connecting rod 50 is smaller than the width T2 of the limiting groove 18. This ensures that even if the position of the gas control component 52 changes during the compression of the elastic element 100 by the bolt 53, the connecting rod 50 can still pass into the limiting groove 18. In other words, based on the design of the bolt 53's fine-tuning feel, designing the thickness T1 of this connecting rod 50 to be smaller than the width T2 of the limiting groove 18 ensures that the gas control component 52 and the operation key 6 can always be connected via the connecting rod 50.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 7The sealing element 9 has at least one sealing strip 92 protruding from the side facing the sealing portion 511 and at the outer edge of the first liquid inlet hole 14. A support strip 93 also protrudes from the side of the sealing element 9 facing the sealing portion 511. One end of the support strip 93 is connected to the sealing strip 92. The sealing portion 511 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 100 and simultaneously abuts against the sealing strip 92 and the support strip 93 downwards. By providing the sealing strip 92, the reliability of the surface of the sealing portion 511 of the liquid supply control element 51 in blocking the first liquid inlet hole 14 on the sealing element 9 is further improved. By providing the support strip 93, the sealing portion 511 of the liquid supply control element 51 can always rotate on the same plane, preventing the sealing portion 511 of the liquid supply control element 51 from detaching from the sealing strip 92 during rotation.

[0042] Please refer to them again. Figures 4 to 7 The electronic atomizer also includes a sealing block 200 disposed on one side of the gas control component 52. The sealing block 200 is provided with the aforementioned air inlet 17. The sealing block 200 is preferably a silicone part with good sealing performance. The side of the sealing block 200 facing the gas control component 52 has a raised strip 2001 protruding around the air inlet 17. At least when the movable component 5 is in the first position, the outer wall of the gas control component 52 abuts against this raised strip 2001, so that when the movable component 5 is in the first position, the surface of the gas control component 52 can block the air inlet 17. This can improve the reliability of cutting off the outside air from entering the atomization chamber 12 from the air inlet 17 when the movable component 5 is in the first position.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 The control switch 4 is specifically located on one side of the plug-in portion 512 of the liquid supply control component 51. The side of the gas regulating control component 52 facing the control switch 4 has a trigger surface 523 and a non-trigger surface 524 extending circumferentially. When the movable component 5 rotates to the first position, the non-trigger surface 524 faces the control switch 4 with a gap between them. At this time, the control switch 4 is not triggered and is in the off state, that is, the circuit board 3 is in the off state. When the movable component 5 rotates to the second position, the trigger surface 523 applies pressure to the control switch 4, causing the control switch 4 to be in the closed state, thereby triggering the circuit board 3 to start. This specifically realizes the function of automatically starting and automatically shutting down the control switch 4 when the movable component 5 switches between the first and second positions. In addition, a transition slope 525 connects the trigger surface 523 and the non-trigger surface 524. This transition slope 525 ensures that the gas regulating control component 52 can smoothly switch between the first and second positions, avoiding the phenomenon that the gas regulating control component 52 is jammed by the control switch 4 during rotation.
