Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, specifically to an atomizer and atomization device. Background Technology
[0002] An atomizing device is a device that uses heating or ultrasound to form an aerosol from a stored atomizable medium. Atomizing devices typically include an atomizer and a power supply component. The atomizer heats the atomizing medium to produce an aerosol, which mixes with air entering the atomizer and flows out for the user to inhale. The power supply component is electrically connected to the atomizer to provide power. Atomizers with a separate coil and e-liquid contain the e-liquid in a completely sealed space, isolating it from the outside environment. This significantly reduces the degradation of the e-liquid's components, resulting in better flavor and a longer shelf life. However, due to the coil and e-liquid separation, the e-liquid needs time to wet the atomizing components during activation. This wettability is relatively slow and insufficient, leading to dry burning of the atomizing components and resulting in a burnt or unpleasant taste when inhaled. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main technical problem addressed by this application is to provide an atomizer and atomizing device to improve atomization effect and user experience.
[0004] One embodiment of this application provides an atomizer, comprising: a housing; a liquid storage chamber disposed in the housing, the liquid storage chamber having a liquid storage cavity for storing an atomizing matrix; and an atomizing component disposed in the liquid storage chamber, the atomizing component having a liquid inlet, the atomizing component being configured to have both a disconnected state and a connected state relative to the liquid storage chamber; wherein a pressure chamber is formed between the housing and the liquid storage chamber, and when the atomizing component is in the connected state, the liquid storage chamber is configured to be movable relative to the housing to increase the pressure in the pressure chamber and pressurize the liquid storage cavity, thereby driving the atomizing matrix to move toward the liquid inlet.
[0005] According to one embodiment of this application, the housing is provided with a receiving groove, the liquid storage chamber is slidably disposed in the receiving groove, and the outer peripheral surface of the liquid storage chamber is sealed to the groove wall of the receiving groove. The side of the liquid storage chamber away from the liquid storage cavity and the groove wall of the receiving groove together define the pressure cavity. The end of the liquid storage chamber facing the pressure cavity is provided with a pressure guiding part, which is used to transmit the pressure of the pressure cavity to the liquid storage cavity.
[0006] According to one embodiment of this application, the pressure guiding part includes a pressure guiding hole and a sealing member. The sealing member is used to block the pressure guiding hole. The sealing member is configured to disengage from the pressure guiding hole under the pressure of the pressure chamber, so that the pressure of the pressure chamber is transmitted to the liquid storage chamber through the pressure guiding hole; and / or, at least a portion of the liquid storage chamber facing the pressure chamber has a flexible structure. The flexible structure forms the pressure guiding part. The flexible structure is configured to deform on the side facing the liquid storage chamber under the pressure of the pressure chamber, so as to compress the size of the internal space of the liquid storage chamber.
[0007] According to one embodiment of this application, the housing includes a first main body and a first air outlet pipe connected to each other, and the liquid storage chamber includes a second main body and a second air outlet pipe connected to each other. The first main body is provided with the receiving groove, and the second main body is provided with the liquid storage cavity.

The first sealing member seals between the inner circumferential surface of the liquid storage chamber and the outer circumferential surface of the atomizing core, and together with the liquid storage chamber and the atomizing core, forms the liquid storage chamber. The liquid inlet is disposed on the atomizing core. When the atomizing assembly is in the first position, the first sealing member closes the liquid inlet to isolate the interior of the atomizing core from the liquid storage chamber. When the atomizing assembly is in the second position, the atomizing core moves relative to the first sealing member until the liquid inlet is outside the first sealing member, so that the liquid inlet communicates the interior of the atomizing core with the liquid storage chamber.
[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the atomizing component includes an installation part and a sleeve part. The sleeve part and the first snap-fit part are both disposed on the installation part. The sleeve part is slidably inserted into the liquid storage chamber. A second snap-fit part is provided on the outer periphery of the sleeve part. The liquid storage chamber is provided with a partition fastener and a connection fastener corresponding to the partition state and the connection state, respectively. The partition fastener and the connection fastener are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the liquid storage chamber. When the first snap-fit part is located at the first fastener, the second snap-fit part is configured to snap-fit with the partition fastener. When the first snap-fit part is located at the second fastener, the second snap-fit part is also configured to snap-fit with the connection fastener.

[0015] The atomizer and atomizing device provided in this application utilize a pressure chamber to pressurize the liquid storage chamber when the inlet and the storage chamber are connected. This allows the atomizing liquid in the storage chamber to quickly wet the atomizing component under pressure, preventing dry burning and the resulting burnt smell. This enables the atomizing component to quickly produce aerosol, reducing the user's waiting time, improving the atomization effect, and enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0044] This application provides an atomizer 10, such as... Figures 1 to 4 The atomizer 10 includes a housing 110, a liquid storage chamber 120, and an atomizing component 130. The liquid storage chamber 120 is disposed within the housing 110 and has a liquid storage cavity 1201 for storing the atomizing matrix. The atomizing component 130 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 120 and has a liquid inlet 1301. The atomizing component 130 is configured to have both a disconnected state and a connected state relative to the liquid storage chamber 120. Specifically, the atomizing component 130 can... The liquid storage chamber 120 is moved from a partitioned position to a connected position relative to the liquid storage chamber 120, so that the liquid inlet 1301 and the liquid storage chamber 1201 are connected from a partitioned position. A pressure chamber 140 is formed between the housing 110 and the liquid storage chamber 120. When the atomizing component 130 is in the connected state, the liquid storage chamber 120 is configured to move relative to the housing 110 to increase the pressure in the pressure chamber 140 and pressurize the liquid storage chamber 1201, thereby driving the atomizing matrix to move toward the liquid inlet 1301.
[0045] Specifically, when the atomizer 10 is not used for a long time or during transportation, the atomizing component 130 can be in a closed position, separating the liquid inlet 1301 from the liquid storage chamber 1201, preventing the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 from entering the atomizing component 130, thereby reducing the attenuation of the atomized liquid components; when the atomizer 10 needs to be used, the atomizing component 130 can be in a connected position, connecting the liquid inlet 1301 with the liquid storage chamber 1201, allowing the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 to enter the atomizing component 130. At this time, the pressure chamber 140 can pressurize the liquid storage chamber 1201, causing the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 to quickly enter the atomizing component 130 under pressure, so that the atomizing component 130 can be fully wetted in a short time, thereby reducing the user's waiting time and improving the atomization effect.
[0046] In some embodiments, the housing 110 is provided with a receiving groove 1106, and the liquid storage tank 120 is slidably disposed in the receiving groove 1106. The outer peripheral surface of the liquid storage tank 120 is sealed to the groove wall of the receiving groove 1106. The side of the liquid storage tank 120 away from the liquid storage cavity 1201 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1106 together define a pressure cavity 140.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the housing 110 has a first opening 1105, and the liquid storage tank 120 has a second opening 1206. The liquid storage tank 120 can be inserted into the housing 110 through the first opening 1105, and the atomizing component 130 can be inserted into the liquid storage tank 120 through the second opening 1206. The end of the housing 110 away from the first opening 1105 has a first wall 113, and the end of the liquid storage tank 120 away from the second opening 1206 has a second wall 123. The pressure chamber 140 can be formed by the first wall 113, the second wall 123, and the side wall of the housing 110 connecting the first wall 113 and the second wall 123.
[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the liquid storage chamber 120 is provided with a pressure guiding part 124 at the end facing the pressure chamber 140. The pressure guiding part 124 is used to transmit the pressure of the pressure chamber 140 to the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the liquid storage chamber 120 is configured to move relative to the housing 110 from a first pressure position to a second pressure position to compress the volume of the pressure chamber 140, so that the gas in the pressure chamber 140 forms compressed gas. The pressure guiding part 124 includes a pressure guiding hole 1202, which is used to connect the liquid storage chamber 1201 and the space inside the pressure chamber 140, so that the compressed gas in the pressure chamber 140 enters the liquid storage chamber 1201, thereby increasing the pressure inside the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0050] Specifically, the liquid storage chamber 120 can move along the length of the shell 110, causing the second wall 123 to move closer to the first wall 113, thereby compressing the volume of the pressure chamber 140. Before the atomizer 10 is used, the liquid storage chamber 120 can be located at the first pressure position. At this time, there is a certain distance between the first wall 113 and the second wall 123, and the pressure chamber 140 has a certain volume. The air pressure in the pressure chamber 140 and the air pressure in the liquid storage chamber 1201 can be the same as the external atmospheric pressure. When the atomizer 10 is used, the liquid storage chamber 120 can be moved from the first pressure position to the second pressure position under the action of external force. At this time, the distance between the first wall 113 and the second wall 123 decreases, the volume of the pressure chamber 140 decreases accordingly, and the air pressure in the pressure chamber 140 increases. Compressed gas can enter the liquid storage chamber 1201 through the pressure guide hole 1202 to increase the pressure in the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0051] In some embodiments, the size of the pressure chamber 140 can be adjusted to achieve a balance based on the effect of the atomizing liquid wetting the atomizing assembly 130. For example, when it is necessary to further accelerate the wetting rate of the atomizing liquid, the size of the pressure chamber 140 can be increased so that more gas can be compressed and greater pressure can be generated.
[0052] In some embodiments, the pressure guide hole 1202 can be opened on the second wall 123. When the liquid storage chamber 120 is in the second pressure position, the second wall 123 can abut against the first wall 113. At this time, the volume of the pressure chamber 140 is approximately zero, and all the compressed gas enters the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the pressure guiding part 124 includes a sealing member 160 and a pressure guiding hole 1202. The sealing member 160 is used to seal the pressure guiding hole 1202. The sealing member 160 is configured to seal the pressure guiding hole 1202 when the liquid storage chamber 120 is in a first pressure position. The sealing member 160 is also configured to disengage from the pressure guiding hole 1202 under the pressure of the pressure chamber 140 when the liquid storage chamber 120 moves from the first pressure position to the second pressure position, so that the pressure of the pressure chamber 140 is transmitted to the liquid storage chamber 1201 through the pressure guiding hole 1202. When the atomizer 10 is not in use, the sealing member 160 can block the pressure guiding hole 1202 to separate the liquid storage chamber 1201 and the pressure chamber 140, so as to prevent the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 from entering the pressure chamber 140 and leaking from the connection between the housing 110 and the liquid storage chamber 120. During the process of the liquid storage chamber 120 moving from the first pressure position to the second pressure position, the volume of the pressure chamber 140 is compressed and the internal air pressure gradually increases. Under the pressure of the compressed gas, the sealing component 160 is dislodged from the pressure guide hole 1202 and falls into the liquid storage chamber 1201, so that the space inside the pressure chamber 140 and the liquid storage chamber 1201 are connected. At this time, the compressed gas can enter the liquid storage chamber 1201 to increase the pressure inside the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0054] In some embodiments, before the atomizer 10 is used, the liquid storage chamber 1201 can be filled with atomizing liquid, and the sealing member 160 seals the pressure guiding hole 1202, so that the liquid storage chamber 1201 is in a completely sealed state.
[0055] Specifically, the sealing component 160 can be made of elastic plastic or rubber, such as silicone, nitrile rubber or natural rubber.
[0056] In some other embodiments, the sealing element 160 may be omitted, allowing the liquid storage chamber 1201 to remain connected to the space inside the pressure chamber 140 via the pressure guide hole 1202. When the liquid storage chamber 120 moves from the first pressure position to the second pressure position, it simultaneously compresses the gas inside the liquid storage chamber 1201 and the space inside the pressure chamber 140, thereby increasing the pressure inside the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, at least a portion of the liquid storage chamber 120 facing the pressure chamber 140 has a flexible structure 125. The flexible structure 125 forms a pressure guiding part 124. The flexible structure 125 is configured to deform towards the liquid storage chamber 1201 under the pressure of the pressure chamber 140 to compress the size of the internal space of the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0058] Specifically, when the flexible structure 125 is subjected to pressure from the pressure chamber 140, it can expand towards one side of the liquid storage chamber 1201 to compress the internal space of the liquid storage chamber 1201. The flexible structure 125 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or plastic.
[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 9 The atomizing component 130 is also configured to move from a first position to a second position relative to the housing 110 while moving relative to the liquid reservoir 120 from a partition position to a communication position; the atomizing component 130 is also configured to move relative to the housing 110 from the second position to a third position so as to drive the liquid reservoir 120 relative to the housing 110 from a first pressure position to a second pressure position.
[0060] Specifically, the atomizing component 130 can be slidably connected to the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110 respectively. The first, second, and third positions gradually approach the first wall 113 along the length direction of the housing 110, while the partition and connecting positions gradually approach the second wall 123 along the length direction of the liquid storage chamber 120. Under the action of external force, when the atomizing component 130 slides relative to the housing 110 from the first position to the second position, the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110 are relatively fixed due to friction. That is, while the atomizing component 130 slides relative to the housing 110, it also slides relative to the liquid storage chamber 120 from the partition position to the connecting position. When the atomizing component 130 continues to slide relative to the housing 110 from the second position to the third position, the atomizing component 130 abuts against the liquid storage chamber 120, and the atomizing component 130 and the liquid storage chamber 120 are relatively fixed. The liquid storage chamber 120 can slide relative to the housing 110 from the first pressure position to the second pressure position under the action of the atomizing component 130.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the atomizing component 130 is at least partially inserted into the liquid storage chamber 120. The atomizing component 130 is provided with a second locking part 1311. The liquid storage chamber 120 is provided with a partition latch 1203 and a connection latch 1204 corresponding to the partitioned state and the connected state, respectively. The partition latch 1203 and the connection latch 1204 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the liquid storage chamber 120. The second locking part 1311 is configured to engage with the partition latch 1203 when the atomizing component 130 is in the partitioned position. The second locking part 1311 is also configured to engage with the connection latch 1204 when the atomizing component 130 is in the connected position.
[0062] Specifically, the partition buckle 1203 and the connecting buckle 1204 can be provided at one end of the liquid storage chamber 120 near the second opening 1206. The partition buckle 1203 and the connecting buckle 1204 can be through holes or grooves provided on the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 120. The second locking part 1311 can protrude from the outer periphery of the atomizing component 130. The shape of the second locking part 1311 can be circular, arc-shaped or triangular, etc., and the side of the second locking part 1311 facing the second wall 123 can be an inclined surface or an arc-shaped surface, so that the second locking part 1311 can slide away from the partition buckle 1203 under the action of external force.
[0063] In some embodiments, the liquid storage chamber 120 is inserted into the housing 110, the atomizing component 130 is provided with a first snap-fit portion 1312, and the housing 110 is provided with a first latch 1101, a second latch 1102 and a third latch 1103 corresponding to the second snap-fit portion 1311. The first latch 1101, the second latch 1102 and the third latch 1103 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the housing 110. The first snap-fit portion 1312 is configured to snap with the first latch 1101 when the atomizing component 130 is in a first position, snap with the second latch 1102 when the atomizing component 130 is in a second position, and snap with the third latch 1103 when the atomizing component 130 is in a third position.
[0064] Specifically, the first latch 1101, the second latch 1102, and the third latch 1103 can be provided at one end of the housing 110 near the first opening 1105. The first latch 1101, the second latch 1102, and the third latch 1103 can be through holes or grooves provided on the side wall of the housing 110.

At this time, the first locking part 1312 is engaged with the third locking part 1103, and the second locking part 1311 is engaged with the connecting locking part 1204.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figures 19 to 21 As shown, the atomizing component 130 includes a base 131 and a second snap-fit portion 1311 protruding from the periphery of the base 131.
[0067] In some embodiments, the base 131 includes a mounting portion 1318 and a sleeve portion 1313.

The sleeve portion 1313 is slidably inserted into the liquid storage tank 120, and the first snap-fit portion 1312 is disposed on the outer periphery of the sleeve portion 1313.

[0069] In one embodiment, the protrusion 1314 is provided with a limiting groove 1302 on the side facing the liquid storage tank 120. When the first snap-fit portion 1312 is located in the second latch position 1102, the groove wall of the limiting groove 1302 is configured to abut against the liquid storage tank 120.

The user can directly apply force to the atomizing component 130 in one direction to achieve the connection between the liquid inlet 1301 and the liquid storage chamber 1201 and to quickly wet the atomizing component 130. The activation action is simple and helps to improve the user experience.
[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 As shown, the second snap-fit portion 1311 and the first guide portion 1315 are provided on the outer periphery of the socket portion 1313, the first snap-fit portion 1312 is provided on the side of the extension portion 1317 away from the socket portion 1313, and the second guide portion 1316 is provided on the side of the protrusion portion 1314 away from the socket portion 1313.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the atomizing assembly 130 also includes an atomizing core 132, which is connected to one end of the base 131 facing the liquid storage chamber 1201. Specifically, the sleeve portion 1313 is provided with a receiving groove 1303, and one end of the atomizing core 132 is installed in the receiving groove 1303.
[0079] In some embodiments, a first sealing member 150 is provided between the liquid storage chamber 120 and the atomizing core 132. The first sealing member 150 seals between the inner peripheral surface of the liquid storage chamber 120 and the outer peripheral surface of the atomizing core 132, and forms a liquid storage cavity 1201 with the liquid storage chamber 120 and the atomizing core 132. A liquid inlet 1301 is provided on the atomizing core 132, and the liquid inlet 1301 is configured to be closed by the first sealing member 150 when the atomizing assembly 130 is in the partition position.
[0080] In some embodiments, the base 131 is slidably disposed within the housing 110 along the length of the housing 110 to move the atomizing assembly 130 between a first position, a second position, and a third position. When the atomizing assembly 130 is in the first position, the first seal 150 closes the liquid inlet 1301 to isolate the interior of the atomizing core 132 from the liquid storage chamber 120; when the atomizing assembly 130 is in the second position, the atomizing core 132 moves relative to the first seal 150 until the liquid inlet 1301 is outside the first seal 150, so that the liquid inlet 1301 connects the interior of the atomizing core 132 with the liquid storage chamber 120.
[0081] Specifically, when the second latching part 1311 is located at the first latching position 1101, the first sealing member 150 closes the liquid inlet hole 1301 to isolate the interior of the atomizing core 132 from the liquid storage chamber 120; when the second latching part 1311 moves from the first latching position 1101 to the second latching position 1102, the base 131 is configured to drive the atomizing core 132 to move relative to the first sealing member 150 so that the liquid inlet hole 1301 connects the interior of the atomizing core 132 with the liquid storage chamber 120.
[0082] In some embodiments, the atomizing core 132 includes an atomizing tube 1321, a liquid guiding component 1322, a heating element 1323, and a mounting tube 1324. A liquid storage chamber 1201 is formed between the atomizing tube 1321 and the liquid storage chamber 120. A liquid inlet 1301 is formed on the atomizing tube 1321. The mounting tube 1324 is disposed inside the atomizing tube 1321. The liquid guiding component 1322 is disposed inside the mounting tube 1324. The heating element 1323 is enclosed within the liquid guiding component 1322. The liquid guiding component 1322 is used to guide the atomized liquid to the heating element 1323 so that the atomized liquid is heated and atomized to form an aerosol. The aerosol can move along the atomizing tube 1321 to the outside of the atomizer 10.
[0083] In some embodiments, an external force can be applied to the base 131, which pushes the atomizing core 132 toward the pressure chamber 140, causing the liquid inlet 1301 to expose the first seal 150 and enter the liquid storage chamber 1201. The liquid storage chamber 1201 is connected to the external atmosphere through the micropores of the liquid inlet 1301 and the liquid guide 1322. The atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 can enter the atomizing core 132 through the liquid inlet 1301. At this time, the sealing member 160 is still located at the pressure guide hole 1202. If an external force is applied to press the base 131, the liquid storage chamber 120 can be moved relative to the housing 110 from the first pressure position to the second pressure position. During the pressing process, the gas in the pressure chamber 140 is compressed to form compressed air with a certain pressure. When the pressure reaches a certain range, the compressed air will squeeze the sealing part 160 in the pressure guide hole 1202 into the liquid storage chamber 1201, causing the compressed gas in the pressure chamber 140 to be squeezed into the liquid storage chamber 1201. This results in an increase in the pressure in the liquid storage chamber 1201. Under the action of pressure, the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 quickly enters the liquid guide part 1322 through the liquid inlet hole 1301, thereby accelerating the wetting speed and making the wetting more thorough, achieving the effect of instant wetting and instant absorption, so that users do not need to wait time and enhance the experience.
[0084] In some embodiments, a reinforcing member 170 is provided on the side of the first sealing member 150 facing the liquid storage chamber 1201. The reinforcing member 170 and the first sealing member 150 are fixedly connected within the liquid storage chamber 120. Specifically, the reinforcing member 170 and the first sealing member 150 can be fixed at a step within the liquid storage chamber 120. The reinforcing member 170 can enhance the fixed relationship between the first sealing member 150 and the liquid storage chamber 120, preventing the first sealing member 150 from moving under the pressure inside the liquid storage chamber 1201.
[0085] In some embodiments, the atomizing tube 1321 and the mounting tube 1324 can be made of rigid plastic or metal, such as stainless steel or high-transparency copolyester. The liquid guiding component 1322 can be made of a material that guides the atomizing liquid, such as oil-guiding cotton. The heating element 1323 can be made of stainless steel or other metal alloys, such as stainless steel heating wire or heating mesh. The first sealing component 150 can be made of elastic plastic or rubber, such as silicone, nitrile rubber, or natural rubber. The reinforcing component 170 can be made of corrosion-resistant rigid metal or plastic, such as stainless steel or nickel alloy.
[0086] In some embodiments, a liquid-absorbing element 133 is provided at the end of the base 131 near the liquid storage chamber 1201, and an electrode element 134 is provided at the end of the base 131 away from the liquid storage chamber 1201. The electrode element 134 is electrically connected to the heating element 1323. The external power supply assembly 20 can supply power to the heating element 1323 through the electrode element 134. The liquid-absorbing element 133 is used to absorb the atomizing liquid and condensate leaking from the atomizing core 132 to prevent the atomizing liquid and condensate from corroding the electrical connection structure such as the electrode element 134. The liquid-absorbing element 133 can be made of a material with liquid adsorption function, such as absorbent cotton.
[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 131 may be provided with an air inlet, through which external air can enter the atomizing tube 1321. The end of the base 131 away from the liquid storage chamber 1201 may be provided with a groove. The groove can play a guiding and positioning role when the electrode 134 and the power supply assembly 20 are electrically connected. At the same time, the groove can reduce the overall weight of the atomizer 10. In addition, the groove can cooperate with the electrode 134 to form a symmetrical pattern around the air inlet to improve the aesthetics.
[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the housing 110 includes a first main body 111 and a first vent pipe 112 connected to each other, and the liquid storage tank 120 includes a second main body 121 and a second vent pipe 122 connected to each other. The first main body 111 is provided with a receiving groove 1106, and the second main body 121 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 1201. The second vent pipe 122 is inserted into the first vent pipe 112, and the second main body 121 is inserted into the first main body 111. The side of the second main body 121 away from the liquid storage chamber 1201, the groove wall of the receiving groove 1106, and the second vent pipe 122 together define a pressure chamber 140.
[0089] In some embodiments, a pressure chamber 140 is formed between a first main body portion 111 and a second main body portion 121, and the pressure chamber 140 is disposed around a second vent pipe 122. Specifically, a first wall 113 is connected between a side wall of the first main body portion 111 and a first vent pipe 112, and a second wall 123 is connected between a side wall of the second main body portion 121 and a second vent pipe 122. The pressure chamber 140 may be composed of a first wall 113, a second wall 123, a side wall of a housing 110 connected between the first wall 113 and the second wall 123, and a side wall of the second vent pipe 122 connected between the first wall 113 and the second wall 123.
[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the number of pressure guiding holes 1202 can be one or more. For example, the number of pressure guiding holes 1202 can be two, and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the second air outlet pipe 122.
[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the atomizer 10 also includes a second seal 151 and a third seal 152. The second seal 151 seals between the inner circumferential surface of the first air outlet pipe 112 and the outer circumferential surface of the second air outlet pipe 122, and the third seal 152 seals between the inner circumferential surface of the first main body 111 and the outer circumferential surface of the second main body 121. The second seal 151 and the third seal 152 can seal the connection between the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110 to ensure that the pressure chamber 140 will not leak air from the connection when the internal air pressure increases, and at the same time, it can prevent the atomized liquid from leaking from the connection through the pressure chamber 140. Furthermore, during the process of the atomizing component 130 moving from the first position to the second position, the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110 can remain relatively fixed under the frictional force provided by the third seal 152; during the process of the atomizing component 130 moving from the second position to the third position, the atomizing component 130 abuts against the liquid storage chamber 120, so that the liquid storage chamber 120 can move relative to the housing 110 against the frictional force.
[0092] In some embodiments, the second seal 151 and the third seal 152 may both be sealing rings, and the materials of the second seal 151 and the third seal 152 may be elastic plastic or rubber materials, such as silicone, nitrile rubber or natural rubber.
[0093] Specifically, the number of second seals 151 can be one or more, and the number of third seals 152 can be one or more. For example, the number of second seals 151 can be three, and the number of third seals 152 can be two.
[0094] In some embodiments, the atomizing tube 1321 is inserted into the second air outlet tube 122, and a fourth sealing element 153 is sealed between the outer peripheral surface of the atomizing tube 1321 and the inner peripheral surface of the second air outlet tube 122. The fourth sealing element 153 can be a sealing ring, and its material can be elastic materials such as silicone, nitrile rubber or natural rubber.
[0095] Specifically, the number of fourth seals 153 can be one or more, for example, the number of fourth seals 153 can be two.
[0096] This application also provides an atomizing device, such as Figure 22 As shown, the atomizing device includes the atomizer 10 of the above embodiment, and the atomizing device also includes a power supply component 20, which is used to electrically connect to the atomizer 10.
[0097] Specifically, the power supply component 20 is electrically connected to the electrode 134 of the atomizer 10 to supply power to the heating element 1323.
[0098] In some embodiments, the atomizing device may be a disposable product, with the power supply component 20 and the atomizer 10 fixedly connected; the atomizing device may also be a replaceable and reusable product, with the power supply component 20 and the atomizer 10 being replaceable as needed. For example, the atomizer 10 may be a disposable product, and the atomizing device may reuse the power supply component 20 by replacing the atomizer 10.
[0099] The atomizer 10 and atomizing device provided in this application, through the design of the movable connection between the atomizing component 130, the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110, allow the volume of the pressure chamber 140 between the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110 to be compressed. This compresses the liquid storage chamber 1201 when the liquid inlet 1301 and the liquid storage chamber 1201 are connected, allowing the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1201 to quickly and fully wet the atomizing component 130 under pressure, preventing dry burning and the resulting burnt smell. This enables the atomizer 10 to quickly start working and generate aerosol, reducing user waiting time, improving atomization effect, and greatly enhancing user experience. The multi-segment snap-fit design of the atomizing component 130 with the liquid storage chamber 120 and the housing 110 allows the atomizing liquid to be stably separated from the atomizing core 132 when the atomizer 10 is not in use, while simultaneously forming a compressible pressure chamber 140. This reduces the difficulty of adjusting the atomizer 10 and improves its stability and reliability.
[0100] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of this application.
