[0054] In some embodiments, the atomizing base 200 may be provided with an air guiding channel 205. The air guiding channel 205 may communicate with the liquid storage space 101 to achieve gas-liquid balance in the liquid storage space 101. In some embodiments, the air guiding channel 205 may be disposed on the side wall of the atomizing base 200.

The liquid storage tank 206 may communicate with the air guiding channel 205, so that when the atomization matrix enters the air guiding channel 205, it can further enter the liquid storage tank 206. On the one hand, it can prevent the atomization matrix from leaking, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the air guiding ability of the air guiding channel 205 from decreasing. Moreover, under the influence of the negative pressure inside the liquid storage space 101, the atomization matrix in the liquid storage tank 206 can also flow back into the liquid storage space 101.

[0056] Among them, the liquid storage tank 206 may be disposed on the side wall of the atomizing base 200.

Of course, the base 400 may also merely abut against the atomization base 200.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 for Figure 7 the Figure 6 partial perspective structural schematic diagram of the electronic atomizer provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 7 FIG. is the perspective structural schematic diagram of the first component of the electronic atomizer provided in some embodiments of the present application. The first component includes a base 400.

[0060] In some embodiments, the base 400 may be provided with a first through hole 401, and the first through hole 401 may be used for air intake. The first through hole 401 may communicate with the third through hole 201 on the atomization base 200 to cooperate with the third through hole 201 to form an air flow channel 104. Both ends of the air guiding channel 205 may communicate with the liquid storage space 101 and the air flow channel 104 respectively to achieve the gas-liquid balance in the liquid storage space 101.

Among them, the first snap portion and the second snap portion may be structures such as snaps, slots, through holes, etc. that can achieve snap connection. For example, the first snap portion may be a through hole for snap connection with the protrusion on the atomization base 200; the second snap portion may be a snap for snap connection with the through hole on the base 400. The atomization base 200 may be fixedly connected to the base 400 through the bracket 500. The atomization base 200 and the base 400 may cooperate to surround the bracket 500.

The bracket 500 can be provided with a second through hole 501, and the second through hole 501 communicates with the first through hole 401 and the third through hole 201. The first through hole 401, the second through hole 501, and the third through hole 201 can cooperate to form an air flow channel 104 communicating with the atomization space 207. In some embodiments, the first through hole 401, the second through hole 501, and the third through hole 201 are directly opposite to each other to cooperate to form a straight air flow channel 104. Among them, the third through hole 201 can be directly opposite to the air outlet channel 102.

[0063] Among them, the atomization space 207 can partially overlap with the air flow channel 104. One end of the air guiding channel 205 communicating with the air flow channel 104 can also be regarded as communicating with the atomization space 207. Among them, the number of the first through holes 401 on the base 400 can be multiple. The electronic atomizer 10 can reduce the aperture of each first through hole 401 by setting the number of the first through holes 401 to be multiple, thereby reducing the possibility of leakage of the liquid such as condensate and atomization matrix that may drip from the first through hole 401.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizer 10 can include a liquid absorbing member 420. The first component can include the base 400 and the liquid absorbing member 420.

The liquid absorbing member 420 can be used to absorb the atomization matrix dripping from the air guiding channel 205. The orthographic projection of the liquid absorbing member 420 on the atomization seat 200 can cover the area of the atomization seat 200 where the air guiding channel 205 is provided.

[0066] In some embodiments, a receiving groove 402 can be provided on the side of the base 400 facing the atomization seat 200, and the liquid absorbing member 420 can be embedded in the receiving groove 402. Optionally, the first through hole 401 is provided on a convex column protruding from the bottom wall of the base 400, and the liquid absorbing member 420 can surround the convex column.

[0068] In some embodiments, the base 400 may have a groove on the bottom surface for accommodating the docking portion 610, and a through hole communicating with the groove for accommodating the conductive portion 620. The electrical connector 600 may partially pass through the bottom wall of the base 400 to serve as the conductive portion 620, and the other part may be fixed on the bottom surface of the base 400 to serve as the docking portion 610.

The conductive elastic member 800 may be disposed between the atomization core 700 and the conductive portion 620 and respectively abut against the atomization core 700 and the conductive portion 620 so that the atomization core 700 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 600.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the conductive elastic member 800 may be abutted against the atomization core 700 and the conductive portion 620 of the electrical connector 600 so that the atomization core 700 is electrically connected to the conductive portion 620, and the conductive portion 620 of the electrical connector 600 may pass through the base 400 ( Figure 10 not shown), and the docking portion 610 of the electrical connector 600 may be disposed on the bottom surface of the base 400, so that the electronic atomizer 10 can be connected to an external power source through the docking portion 610, and further the atomization core 700 can be atomized.

[0073] Understandably, the conductive elastic member 800 is an elastic structural member independent of structural members such as the base 400, the atomizing base 200, and the electrical connection member 600. For example, the conductive elastic member 800 can be a metal elastic sheet. Since the conductive elastic member 800 has elasticity, even if there are certain errors during assembly, the electronic atomizer 10 can utilize the elastic deformation of the conductive elastic member 800 to make it contact the atomizing core 700 and the conductive portion 620 to achieve conduction, so that the assembly of the electronic atomizer 10 can be completed simply and conveniently. The electronic atomizer 10 can utilize the conductive elastic member 800 that can undergo elastic deformation to contact the atomizing core 700, so that there is no need to squeeze the conductive structural member and the atomizing core 700 together to ensure stable electrical connection, which is beneficial to reducing the force on the atomizing core 700, avoiding damage to the atomizing core 700, and is beneficial to improving the electrical connection stability between the atomizing core 700 and the external power supply.

[0092] Wherein, the second surface 720 of the atomizing core 700 may be a flat surface. The second surface 720 may be parallel to the air inlet direction of the air flow channel 104. The air inlet direction of the air flow channel 104 is the flow direction of the gas flowing from the first through hole 401 on the base 400 to the third through hole 201 of the atomizing base 200. The first through hole 401 may be located at the bottom side of the atomizing core 700, so that the air flow in the air flow channel 104 can drive the aerosol and enter the air outlet channel 102 through the third through hole 201.

[0097] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizer 10 may include a substrate 920. The substrate 920 may be a glass plate. In other embodiments, the substrate 920 may also be made of other materials, such as a hard plastic plate.

The substrate 920 may be provided with a plurality of liquid guiding holes 902 communicating with the liquid passing hole 901 for guiding the atomization matrix to the first surface 710 of the atomization core 700. Wherein, the plurality of liquid guiding holes 902 on the substrate 920 may be arranged in an array. The electronic atomizer 10 guides the atomization matrix passing through the liquid outlet 208 to the atomization core 700 through the plurality of liquid guiding holes 902 of the substrate 920, which can achieve the dispersion of the atomization matrix, and further improve the atomization efficiency of the atomization core 700.

[0098] Wherein, the substrate 920 may be embedded in the first seal 910. The substrate 920 may be stacked with the atomization core 700. The substrate 920 may be attached to the first surface 710 of the atomization core 700, so as to reinforce the atomization core 700 and reduce the possibility of damage to the atomization core 700. The third component of the electronic atomizer 10 may include the atomization base 200, the atomization core 700, the first seal 910 and the substrate 920. The electronic atomizer 10 may assemble the substrate 920 and the atomization core 700 in the first seal 910, and then assemble these three together onto the atomization base 200, which is beneficial to improve the production efficiency.

[0099] Please refer to the above in conjunction with Figure 20 , Figure 20 which is a schematic structural diagram of the atomization core provided by some embodiments of the present application.

[0100] In some embodiments, the atomization core 700 may include a silicon-based heating element 730 and an electrical connection portion 740. The electrical connection portion 740 may be disposed on the silicon-based heating element 730 and contact the conductive elastic member 800 to achieve electrical connection with the electrical connector 600.

[0101] Optionally, the atomization core 700 may be a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based heater. MEMS is based on microelectronics, micromechanics, and materials science, and studies, designs, and manufactures micro-devices with specific functions, including micro-structural devices, micro-sensors, micro-actuators, micro-mechanical optical devices, and micro-systems, etc.

[0102] Among them, the silicon-based heating element 730 may be made of a semiconductor material.

The electrical connection portion 740 disposed on the silicon-based heating element 730 can be in contact conduction with the conductive elastic member 800 and form a path with the silicon-based heating element 730, so that the silicon-based heating element 730 generates Joule heat as a resistor.

[0103] The silicon-based heating element 730 can heat the atomization matrix to convert the atomization matrix into an aerosol. Compared with metal or ceramic heating elements, atomization by the silicon-based heating element 730 can prevent the atomization matrix from contacting the metal conductive layer, electrothermal film, or electrical connection portion during the atomization process, resulting in a change in the resistance of the above devices and reducing the atomization effect. It can also reduce the safety risks caused by phenomena such as excessive local temperature and core clogging during atomization. The silicon-based heating element 730 made of a semiconductor material with good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity can heat evenly when powered on, and can uniformly and stably convert the atomization matrix on the silicon-based heating element 730 into an aerosol, enabling the atomization core 700 to have good atomization performance.

[0104] Among them, the electrical connection portion 740 may be made of a conductive material, such as but not limited to gold, silver, silver-palladium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, copper, iron, iron-chromium-aluminum, various stainless steels, etc. The conductivity of the electrical connection portion 740 may be greater than that of the silicon-based heating element 730. The electrical connection portion 740 can be prepared on the surface of the silicon-based heating element 730 by PVD metal sputtering or other metal deposition processes.

[0105] It can be understood that the silicon-based heating element 730 may have the above-mentioned first surface 710 and second surface 720. The silicon-based heating element 730 may also be provided with a diversion hole (not shown in the figure) that penetrates through the first surface 710 and the second surface 720 for transporting the atomization matrix on the first surface 710 to the second surface 720.
