An exhaust hole 321 connected to the suction nozzle 2 is provided at the elastic top cover 32, and the exhaust hole 321 corresponds to the position of the suction nozzle 2. When the external air pressure is low, the air in the liquid storage chamber 311 can flow into the suction nozzle 2 through the exhaust hole 321, thereby better reducing the probability of leakage of the atomized liquid.
