Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, specifically to an atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] Atomizing devices, which atomize a matrix into aerosols, typically consist of a liquid storage component and an atomizing core. The atomizing core atomizes the matrix stored in the liquid storage component into aerosols. During manufacturing, the liquid storage component is pre-filled with the atomizing matrix before transportation, storage, and sales. Changes in temperature and pressure can cause leakage of the atomizing matrix from the liquid storage component through the atomizing core, affecting not only the atomization volume but also contaminating the outer surface of the atomizing device. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In one embodiment,

[0012] The area of ​​the air inlet that is blocked when the locking member is in the locked position is different from the area of ​​the air inlet that is blocked when the locking member is in the released position.

[0014] The locking element covers the air inlet;

[0015] The locking member is provided with at least a first through hole and a second through hole, the cross-sectional areas of the first through hole and the second through hole being different;

[0016] When the locking member is in the locked position, the first through hole is connected to the air inlet, and the second through hole is not connected to the air inlet;

[0017] When the locking member is in the released position, the first through hole is not connected to the air inlet, and the second through hole is connected to the air inlet.

[0042] The atomizing device also includes a first sealing element; the housing assembly is also provided with a vent connecting to the outside;

[0048] And / or,

[0049] The housing assembly is further provided with a limiting groove, and the locking member is slidably disposed in the limiting groove. At least a portion of the locking member is sandwiched between the first seal and the housing assembly. The first seal is also provided with a sealing rib around the air inlet on the side facing the locking member. The sealing rib is used to cooperate with the locking member to seal the air inlet. The limiting groove is provided with a control port, and at least a portion of the locking member is exposed outside the housing assembly through the control port.

[0050] In one embodiment,

[0051] The end of the housing assembly facing the locking member is provided as an open end;

[0056] In one embodiment,

[0057] The atomizing component is provided with a liquid guiding hole, which is in communication with the liquid in the atomizing space;

[0058] In the isolated state, the liquid guiding hole of the atomizing component is directly opposite the second sealing element, so as to isolate the atomizing component from the liquid storage space; in the connected state, at least a portion of the liquid guiding hole of the atomizing component is connected to the liquid storage space.

[0059] According to the atomizing device of the above embodiment, since the locking member in the locking assembly locks the driving component in the locked position, it ensures that the atomizing component is in an isolated state. During the product manufacturing and transportation stages, the atomizing matrix in the atomizing component will not leak due to changes in temperature and air pressure, further ensuring the atomization volume in the later stages. When the user uses this atomizing device, by moving the locking member from the locked position to the released position, the locking member releases the restriction on the driving component. The driving component can then drive the atomizing component from the isolated state to the connected state, so that after the atomizing space and the liquid storage space are connected, the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage space is transferred to the atomizing component through liquid guiding, thereby atomizing the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. At the same time, during the process of the locking member switching from the locked position to the released position, the blocking area of ​​the air inlet is changed by the locking member, thereby changing the air intake volume. Users can adjust the air intake volume according to their own needs to meet the usage needs of different users. Attached Figure Description

[0089] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0090] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments, and the operational steps involved in each embodiment can also be rearranged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for clearly describing a particular embodiment and do not imply that they represent the necessary components and / or order.

[0091] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0092] In related technologies, a liquid suction element is installed at the oil leakage position of the atomizing core in the atomizing device to absorb the atomizing matrix that leaks from the atomizing core due to temperature and air pressure changes during storage and transportation. Although this can avoid or reduce the problem of atomizing matrix leaking onto the outer surface of the product, the content of atomizing matrix in the liquid storage component is significantly reduced, which further leads to a reduction in the amount of atomization.

[0093] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an atomizing device. The locking component in the locked position ensures that the atomizing component is in an isolated state, preventing the atomizing matrix from entering the atomizing component and causing leakage. After the locking component switches from the locked position to the released position, the driving component can drive the atomizing component to switch from the isolated state to the conductive state to atomize the atomizing matrix.

[0094] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing device 100 provided in this application includes a housing assembly 10, an atomizing assembly 20, a locking assembly 30, and a driving assembly 40.

[0095] The housing assembly 10 is the main housing structure of the atomizing device 100, used to install other structures or components, and can also be used to store the atomizing matrix. Specifically, a liquid storage space 11 is formed inside the housing assembly 10, which is used to store the atomizing matrix, wherein the atomizing matrix can be in liquid form and can generate an aerosol after being atomized.

[0096] The atomizing component 20 is used to atomize the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The atomizing matrix in the liquid storage space 11 can be transferred to the atomizing component 20 via a liquid guiding method, where it is atomized to generate an aerosol. An atomizing space 211 is provided within the atomizing component 20. The atomizing component 20 is configured to be movable relative to the housing component 10, allowing it to switch between an isolated state and a conductive state after movement relative to the housing component 10.

[0097] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this is the isolated state of the atomizing component 20 after it has moved relative to the housing component 10. In the isolated state, as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the atomizing space 211 is isolated from the liquid storage space 11, thus the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage space 11 is isolated. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, this is the conductive state of the atomizing component 20 after it has moved relative to the housing component 10. In the conductive state, as... Figure 5 As shown, the atomizing space 211 is connected to the liquid storage space 11, and the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage space 11 can be guided to the atomizing component 20 for atomization.

[0098] The locking assembly 30 includes a locking member 31, which is configured to be movably disposed relative to the housing assembly 10. When the locking member 31 moves relative to the housing assembly 10, it can switch between a locked position and a released position. Specifically, when the atomizing assembly 20 is in the isolated state, the locking member 31 is in the locked position to lock the driving assembly 40, thereby indirectly limiting the atomizing assembly 20 to the isolated state by locking the driving assembly 40. When the locking member 31 moves from the locked position to the released position for the first time, it releases the restriction on the driving assembly 40.

[0099] In this embodiment, the drive component 40 is configured to drive the atomizing component 20 to a conductive state after the locking member 31 releases its restriction, so that the atomizing space 211 is connected to the liquid storage space 11.

[0100] In the above embodiments, since the locking member 31 in the locking assembly 30 locks the driving assembly 40 in the locked position, it ensures that the atomizing assembly 20 is in an isolated state. During the product manufacturing and transportation stages, the atomizing matrix is ​​always stored in the liquid storage space 11, and the atomizing assembly 20 will not leak due to changes in temperature and air pressure, further ensuring the atomization volume in the later stages. When the user uses this atomizing device 100, by moving the locking member 31 from the locked position to the released position, the locking member 31 releases the restriction on the driving assembly 40. The driving assembly 40 can then drive the atomizing assembly 20 from the isolated state to the connected state, so that after the atomizing space 211 and the liquid storage space 11 are connected, the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage space 11 is transferred to the atomizing assembly 20 through liquid guiding, thereby atomizing the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol.

[0101] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, the housing assembly 10 is provided with an atomizing air passage 12, which is connected to the atomizing component 20. The atomizing air passage 12 can be considered as an axially extending line through the housing assembly 10. This arrangement is used to output the aerosol generated by the atomizing component 20. The atomizing air passage 12 has an air inlet 73, which is used to allow external air to enter and generate airflow. Under the action of this airflow, the aerosol is carried out by the atomizing air passage 12.

[0102] In actual use, the housing assembly 10 is also provided with a suction nozzle 16, and the atomizing air passage 12 passes through the suction nozzle 16. Users can suck through the suction nozzle 16. A negative pressure is formed in the atomizing air passage 12, and external air can enter through the air inlet 73 and form an airflow. When the atomizing component 20 atomizes the atomizing matrix to produce aerosol, the aerosol is output through the atomizing air passage 12 along with the airflow.

[0103] In this embodiment, the locking member 31 is also configured to change the area of ​​the air inlet 73 that is blocked when switching between the locked position and the released position. In other words, by blocking the air inlet 73 in the locked position or the released position, the amount of air intake through the air inlet 73 can be changed, and the suction resistance can also be significantly changed when the user is inhaling.

[0104] Understandably, when the locking member 31 is locked to the drive assembly 40 in the locked position, the area of ​​the air inlet 73 blocked by the locking member 31 does not change. However, when the locking member 31 disengages from the drive assembly 40 and switches to the release position, it can change the area of ​​the air inlet 73, thereby changing the air intake volume. In other words, when the locking member 31 disengages from the drive assembly 40 and switches to the release position, the drive assembly 40, due to being released, causes the atomizing assembly 20 to move and switch to the conducting state, thus activating the atomizing assembly 20 to atomize the atomizing matrix. During this process, the air intake volume can be changed by altering the area of ​​the air inlet 73 through the locking member 31. Users can adjust the air intake volume according to their own needs to meet the usage requirements of different users.

[0105] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the air inlet 73 obstructed by the locking member 31 when it is in the locked position is different from the area of ​​the air inlet 73 obstructed by the locking member 31 when it is in the released position. It can be considered that the area of ​​the air inlet 73 obstructed by the locking member 31 in the locked position is smaller or larger than the area of ​​the air inlet 73 obstructed by the locking member 31 in the released position. Of course, in other embodiments, as the locking member 31 moves from the locked position to the released position, the area of ​​the air inlet 73 obstructed by the locking member 31 can be considered to gradually increase or gradually decrease. In other words, stepless adjustment of the air intake volume can be achieved, allowing the user to select an air intake volume that better meets their needs.

[0106] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 31 covers the air inlet 73, and at least a first through hole 311 and a second through hole 312 are provided on the locking member 31. The cross-sectional areas of the first through hole 311 and the second through hole 312 are different.

[0107] When the locking member 31 is in the locked position of the locking drive assembly 40, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first through hole 311 is connected to the air inlet 73, while the second through hole 312 is not connected to the air inlet 73. When the locking member 31 is in the released position of the release drive assembly 40, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first through hole 311 is not connected to the air inlet 73, while the second through hole 312 is connected to the air inlet 73. Thus, the air intake volume can be adjusted by switching the connection between different through holes and the air inlet 73.

[0108] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5-12As shown, the atomizing device 100 provided in this application also includes a bracket 50, which has a guide channel 51. The drive assembly 40 includes a pusher 41 and an elastic member 42. The pusher 41 has a limiting end 411 and a pushing end 412. The pusher 41 is slidably disposed in the guide channel 51, and the pusher 41 allows the pushing end 412 to face the atomizing assembly 20.

[0109] When the locking member 31 is in the locked position, the limiting end 411 is locked by the locking member 31, and the elastic member 42 is in an elastic deformation state, which can store elastic potential energy. When the locking member 31 moves from the locked position to the released position for the first time, the locking member 31 releases the limiting end 411, so that the elastic member 42 releases its elastic potential energy to drive the pushing member 41 to move along the guide channel 51. The pushing member 41 moving along the guide channel 51 can push the atomizing component 20 from the isolated state to the conductive state through the pushing end 412.

[0110] In this application, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5-10 As shown, to achieve the locking and limiting function of the locking member 31 on the pushing member 41, at least one elastic arm 43 is provided at the limiting end 411 of the pushing member 41, and a limiting part 431 is provided on the elastic arm 43. The locking assembly 30 also includes a limiting member 32, and the elastic member 42 is disposed between the limiting member 32 and the pushing member 41. A limiting engagement part 321 is provided on the limiting member 32. When the atomizing assembly 20 is in the isolated state, the locking member 31 is in the locked position, and the locking member 31 limits the elastic arm 43 to be in an elastically deformed state. At this time, the limiting part 431 on the elastic arm 43 is engaged with the limiting member 32 to prevent the elastic arm 43 from returning to its deformed state and keep the pushing member 41 in a stationary state. When the locking member 31 moves from the locked position to the released position for the first time, the limiting part 431 disengages from the limiting engagement part 321, which allows the locking member 31 to release the restriction on the elastic arm 43. The elastic arm 43 restores its deformation, and under the action of the elastic potential energy released by the elastic member 42, the pushing member 41 moves along the guide channel 51, and pushes the atomizing component 20 to move and switch to the conduction state through the pushing end 412.

[0111] In order to guide the movement direction of the pushing member 41, in this embodiment, the limiting member 32 is provided with a guiding channel 322, which extends along the axial direction of the pushing member 41. A crossbar 323 is provided in the guiding channel 322, which extends along the movement direction of the locking member 31. The guiding channel 322 is provided on the limiting member 32 at one end near the locking member 31.

[0112] In one embodiment, two elastic arms 43 are provided, and the two elastic arms 43 are respectively inserted through the guide channel 322 from both sides of the crossbar 323. Each of the two elastic arms 43 is provided with a limiting part 431 at the end near the locking member 31.

[0113] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5-12 and Figure 17 As shown, the locking member 31 has a limiting protrusion 313 on the side facing the limiting member 32, and the limiting protrusion 313 has a guide slope 314 along the moving direction of the locking member 31 (e.g., Figure 17 (As shown). When the atomizing assembly 20 is in the isolated state, the limiting protrusion 313 on the locking member 31, which is in the locked position, is sandwiched between the two elastic arms 43. The limiting protrusion 313 compresses the elastic arms 43, causing elastic deformation, so that the limiting part 431 and the limiting mating part 321 are engaged, thereby limiting the pusher 41. When the locking member 31 moves from the locked position to the released position for the first time, the guide slope 314 guides the two elastic arms 43 to restore their deformation. The elastic arms 43 can then move within the guide channel 322, so that the pusher 41 moves along the guide channel 51, and the pusher end 412 pushes the atomizing assembly 20 from the isolated state to the conductive state.

[0114] In this application, the atomizing component 20 typically uses electrical energy to heat and atomize the atomizing matrix into an aerosol. To control the atomizing component 20, the atomizing device 100 provided in this embodiment also includes a control circuit board 60. The control circuit board 60 is electrically connected to the atomizing component 20 and can control the atomizing component 20's start-up, shutdown, and atomization power. The control circuit board 60 is located on the side of the bracket 50 facing away from the atomizing component 20. Of course, to provide power, the atomizing device 100 may also include a power supply component 90, which can be electrically connected to the atomizing component 20 via the control circuit board 60.

[0115] In one embodiment, a magnetic suction part 17 and an electrical connection terminal 18 may be provided on one side of the housing assembly 10. The electrical connection terminal 18 is connected to the power supply assembly 90. The atomizing device 100 may also be provided with a power replenishing device. The magnetic suction part 17 is magnetically connected to the magnetic suction structure on the power replenishing device, and the electrical connection terminal 18 is electrically connected to the power replenishing device, so as to replenish the power supply assembly 90 through the power replenishing device and improve the service life of the atomizing device.

[0116] In some embodiments, the liquid storage space 11 may be filled with liquid storage material or may not contain liquid storage material.

[0117] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 16As shown, the atomizing assembly 20 includes an atomizing bracket 21, an atomizing core 22, and an atomizing base 23. The atomizing base 23 includes a supporting portion 231 and a transmission portion 232. The transmission portion 232 is located on the side of the supporting portion 231 near the pushing member, and is configured to slide along the guide channel 51. In other words, the transmission portion 232 is slidably mounted within the guide channel 51. The atomizing bracket 21 is fixed to the supporting portion 231, and an atomizing space 211 is formed within the atomizing bracket 21. The atomizing core 22 is disposed within the atomizing space 211.

[0118] In this embodiment, the atomizing core 22 includes an atomizing tube 221, a liquid guiding component 222, and an atomizing component 223. The atomizing support 21 is typically a hollow cylindrical structure, with its inner cavity forming an atomizing space 211. A hollow cylindrical liquid storage component 212 can also be disposed within the atomizing space 211. The atomizing tube 221 is installed inside the liquid storage component 212, and the liquid guiding component 222 is installed inside the atomizing tube 221. The liquid guiding component 222 can also be a hollow cylindrical structure. The atomizing element 223 is installed in the inner cavity of the liquid guiding element 222. At the same time, a liquid guiding hole 224 is provided on the atomizing bracket 21. When the atomizing component 20 is switched to the conducting state, the liquid storage space 11 guides the atomizing matrix to the liquid storage element 212 through the liquid guiding hole 224, and then the liquid storage element 212 transfers it to the liquid guiding element 222. The atomizing matrix in the liquid guiding element 222 can then wet the atomizing element 223, preventing the atomizing element 223 from burning and scorching when heated.

[0119] In this embodiment, the atomizing matrix is ​​stored in the liquid storage space 11. The atomizing matrix is ​​guided to the liquid storage component 212 through the liquid guiding hole 224. The liquid guiding rate of the atomizing matrix to the liquid guiding component 222 can be controlled, and leakage is less likely to occur.

[0120] When the liquid guide 222 in the liquid storage 212 and the atomizing core 22 is soaked with the atomizing matrix, since the guide channel 51 and the atomizing assembly 20 are in fluid communication, in order to prevent the atomizing matrix from leaking between the transmission part 232 and the guide channel 51, a sealing ring 234 can also be provided between the transmission part 232 and the guide channel 51 to seal the gap between the transmission part 232 and the guide channel 51.

[0121] As the atomizing component 20 atomizes the atomizing matrix into an aerosol, during the aerosol output along the atomizing channel 12, due to temperature changes, the aerosol easily condenses to form condensate and flows back. To prevent the condensate from flowing back to the control circuit board 60, in this embodiment, see... Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the transmission part 232 is provided with a first opening 233 facing outward, and the side wall of the guide channel 51 is provided with a second opening 511. The first opening 233 and the second opening 511 are at least partially opposite each other, that is, the first opening 233 and the second opening 511 are at least partially in communication. A liquid collection tank 52 is also provided on the bracket 50. The liquid collection tank 52 is located adjacent to the guide channel 51, and the opening of the liquid collection tank 52 faces the side of the liquid storage space 11. Furthermore, a liquid suction member 53 is provided in the liquid collection tank 52. The first opening 233 and the second opening 511 are at least in communication with the liquid collection tank 52, and the liquid suction member 53 covers at least the lower end of the second opening 511 and / or the first opening 233. In this way, the backflowing condensate can be absorbed by the liquid suction member 53 through the part where the first opening 233 and the second opening 511 are in communication, avoiding the problem of corrosion of the control circuit board 60 by the backflowing condensate.

[0122] When the user inhales through the mouthpiece 16, to ensure that the atomizing assembly 20 can be activated synchronously, see [reference needed]. Figure 15 As shown, a first air guide channel 54 is provided on the bracket 50. The first air guide channel 54 passes through the side of the bracket 50 near the atomizing component 20 and the side away from the atomizing component 20. Furthermore, the first air guide channel 54 is offset from the atomizing component 20 to prevent backflowing condensate from entering the first air guide channel 54. Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly 10 is also provided with a vent 131 communicating with the outside. In this embodiment, the housing assembly 10 includes a bottom cover 13 and a housing 14. The suction nozzle 16 is disposed at one end of the housing 14, and the other end of the housing 14 is an open structure. The bottom cover 13 is installed at the open structure at the other end of the housing 14 to close the open, and the vent 131 is opened on the bottom cover 13.

[0123] The atomizing device 100 also includes a first sealing element 70, and an airflow sensor 61 is provided on the control circuit board 60, such as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the first sealing member 70 is provided with a second air guide channel 71. The first sealing member 70 is disposed between the control circuit board 60 and the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10. The second air guide channel 71 connects the airflow sensor 61 and the vent 131. The control circuit board 60 is also provided with a third through hole 62, which penetrates the control circuit board 60 and connects to the airflow sensor 61. The airflow sensor 61 is electrically connected to the atomizing element 223 in the atomizing assembly 20 and is used to generate a start signal to control the atomizing element 223 to start heating when a change in air pressure is sensed.

[0124] In this embodiment, the atomizing space 211, the first opening 233, the second opening 511, the first air guide channel 54, the third through hole 62, the second air guide channel 71, and the vent 131 are connected in sequence, and the atomizing space 211 is connected to the air outlet 15 of the atomizing device 100. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece 16, external air flows through the atomizing space 211 in sequence through the vent 131, the second air guide channel 71, the third through hole 62, the first air guide channel 54, the second opening 511, and the first opening 233. The airflow sensor 61 senses the change in air pressure through the vent 131, and then generates a start signal to control the heating of the atomizing element 223.

[0125] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first seal 70 is sandwiched between the limiting member 32 and the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10. The air inlet 73 is disposed on the first seal 70. The air inlet 73, the first air guiding channel 54, the second opening 511, the first opening 233, and the atomizing space 211 are connected in sequence. The atomizing space 211 is connected to the air outlet 15 of the atomizing device 100. The user draws air through the mouthpiece 16. External air can enter the atomizing space 211 in sequence through the air inlet 73, the first air guiding channel 54, the second opening 511, and the first opening 233, generating an airflow that drives the aerosol output.

[0126] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, to facilitate the movement of the locking member 31, a limiting groove 132 is also provided on the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10. The locking member 31 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 132, and at least a portion of the locking member 31 is sandwiched between the first sealing member 70 and the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10, such as... Figure 6 As shown, a sealing rib 72 is provided on the first sealing member 70. The sealing rib 72 is located on the side of the first sealing member 70 facing the locking member 31. The sealing rib 72 surrounds the air inlet 73 and is used to cooperate with the locking member 31 to seal the air inlet 73 and prevent gas from leaking from the gap between the first sealing member 70 and the locking member 31.

[0127] The locking member 31 is usually moved manually along the limiting groove 132 to switch between the locked and released positions. For ease of operation, a control port 133 is provided in the limiting groove 132. At least part of the locking member 31 is exposed outside the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10 through the control port 133. The user can operate the locking member 31 exposed outside the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10.

[0128] In one embodiment, an operating part 315 may also be provided on the locking member 31. The operating part 315 protrudes from the locking member 31 and is exposed outside the bottom cover 13 of the housing assembly 10 through the control port 133. The user moves the locking member 31 by operating the operating part 315.

[0129] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the end of the housing 14 of the housing assembly 10 facing the locking member 31 is designated as an open end 141, and the nozzle 16 is disposed at the end of the housing 14 of the housing assembly 10 away from the locking member 31. The atomizing device 100 also includes a second seal 80, which seals the open end 141 to define a liquid storage space 11 together with the housing 14 of the housing assembly 10. A bracket 50 is installed on the side of the second seal 80 away from the liquid storage space 11 so that the bracket 50 supports the second seal 80 from the side of the second seal 80 away from the liquid storage space 11.

[0130] A first mounting cavity 142 adapted to the atomizing component 20 is provided at one end of the housing 14 of the housing assembly 10. At least one of the second seal 80 and the bracket 50 is provided with a second mounting cavity 81 adapted to the atomizing component 20. The second mounting cavity 81 is preferably provided on the second seal 80. The axes of the first mounting cavity 142 and the second mounting cavity 81 are parallel or coincident. Since the atomizing bracket 21 is usually a hollow tubular structure, and one end of the atomizing bracket 21 is installed in the first mounting cavity 142 through the sealing sleeve 143, and the other end of the atomizing bracket 21 is installed in the second mounting cavity 81, the axes of the first mounting cavity 142 and the second mounting cavity 81 are preferably coincident.

[0131] In this embodiment, the two ends of the atomizing bracket 21 in the atomizing assembly 20 are respectively sealed to the inner walls of the first mounting cavity 142 and the second mounting cavity 81. Furthermore, the atomizing bracket 21 in the atomizing assembly 20 is configured to slide axially along the first mounting cavity 142 and the second mounting cavity 81, thereby being able to move from the isolated state to the conductive state under the action of the pusher 41.

[0132] In one embodiment, the liquid guiding hole 224 provided on the atomizing bracket 21 of the atomizing component 20 is in liquid communication with the atomizing space 211. When the atomizing component 20 is in the isolated state, the liquid guiding hole 224 is facing the second sealing member 80, so that the liquid guiding hole 224 is sealed by the second mounting cavity 81 of the second sealing member 80, thereby isolating the atomizing component 20 from the liquid storage space 11. When the atomizing component 20 is in the conductive state, at least part of the liquid guiding hole 224 is in communication with the liquid storage space 11, so that the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage space 11 can enter the atomizing space 211 through the liquid guiding hole 224 for liquid guiding.

[0133] In summary, the atomizing device provided in this application locks the driving component in the locking position, ensuring the atomizing component is isolated. During manufacturing and transportation, the atomizing matrix will not leak due to temperature or pressure changes, further guaranteeing the atomization volume. When the user uses the device, moving the locking component from the locked position to the released position releases the restriction on the driving component. The driving component then drives the atomizing component from the isolated state to the connected state, connecting the atomizing space and the liquid storage space. The atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage space is then transferred to the atomizing component via liquid guiding, atomizing the matrix to generate aerosol. Simultaneously, during the switching from the locked to the released position, the locking component changes the obstruction area of ​​the air inlet, altering the air intake volume. Users can adjust the air intake volume according to their needs, meeting the requirements of different users.

[0134] The above examples illustrate the present invention only to aid in understanding it and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the principles of this invention.
