Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer and an atomization device. Background Art

[0002] An atomizer is an electronic device used to heat an atomizing matrix so that the atomizing matrix produces an inhalable aerosol. Currently, there is a type of atomizer that has a liquid storage chamber inside, which atomizes the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber for use by the user. For this type of atomizer, during use by the user, as the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber gradually decreases, and the angle at which the user holds the atomizer changes during use, the atomized liquid will be unevenly distributed in the liquid storage chamber, which in turn leads to uneven liquid supply to various positions of the heating element, resulting in problems such as poor suction taste and a shorter atomizer life.

Detailed Embodiments

[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings by specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are denoted by related similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many details are described to enable a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification to avoid overwhelming the core part of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0026] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be reordered or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for clearly describing a certain embodiment and do not mean a necessary sequence unless it is stated that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0027] The serial numbers assigned to the components in this article, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and do not have any sequential or technical meaning. And the "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in the present application, unless otherwise specified, both include direct and indirect connection (coupling).

[0028] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present application constructs an atomizer 1 disposed in an atomizing device for heating and atomizing an atomizing liquid. The atomizer 1 includes an atomizing assembly 20, a liquid guiding member 30, an atomizing bracket 40, and a liquid storage member 50. Among them, the liquid storage member 50 is used to accommodate and store the atomizing liquid. The atomizing bracket 40 is disposed in the liquid storage member 50 for support and defines an air outlet passage 100. The atomizing assembly 20 is used to heat and atomize the atomizing liquid. The liquid guiding member 30 is disposed in the atomizing bracket 40 for conducting the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage member 50 to the atomizing assembly 20 for the atomizing assembly 20 to atomize it.

[0029] Specifically, both the liquid storage member 50 and the liquid guiding member 30 are of a porous structure, and through the pores formed inside themselves, the functions of accommodating and conducting the atomized liquid are realized. The atomization support 40 is cylindrical, and a plurality of liquid guiding holes 41 are circumferentially and spacedly arranged thereon for sucking the atomized liquid from the liquid storage member 50 to the liquid guiding member 30 by wicking. The liquid guiding member 30 is cylindrical and is arranged inside the atomization support 40 for the atomized liquid after atomization to flow through. The atomization assembly 20 includes a heating element 21, and the heating element 21 is located inside the liquid guiding member 30 and is in contact with the inner wall surface of the liquid guiding member 30 for atomizing the atomized liquid at the inner wall surface of the liquid guiding member 30.

[0030] During the user's use, the atomized liquid in the liquid storage member 50 will flow following the airflow generated by the user's sucking action, pass through the liquid guiding holes 41 of the atomization support 40 to reach the porous liquid guiding member 30, and flow to the inner end of the liquid guiding member 30, where it is heated and atomized by the atomization assembly 20 arranged inside the liquid guiding member 30.

[0031] It should be understood that the cylindrical atomization support 40 can be Figure 3 the closed atomization support 40 as shown, or a non-closed atomization support, that is, there is an opening on the side of the atomization support 40; the cylindrical atomization support 40 can be Figure 3 the structure with the upper and lower end faces being flush as shown, and the atomization support 40 as a whole being cylindrical, or the upper end face or the lower end face being beveled, and the upper or lower end being in a beveled tip shape, and the atomization support 40 as a whole being in a needle-like structure.

[0032] Further, the atomized liquid after atomization continues to flow following the airflow generated by the user's sucking action and flows out through the air outlet channel 100 to complete one sucking.

[0033] During use, since both the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50 are of a porous structure, the capillary effect, that is, the wicking phenomenon, can be generated. When the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50 are in contact with the atomized liquid, due to the capillary force, the porous material will absorb the atomized liquid, and the absorption continues until the gravity of the porous material and the capillary force reach equilibrium. Thus, during the continuous consumption of the atomized liquid by the atomization assembly 20, the atomized liquid in the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50 can also be continuously replenished. When the user does not perform sucking (or during the interval period between two suckings), after the atomization assembly 20 atomizes the surrounding atomized liquid, under the action of the self-capillary force of the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50, the atomized liquid will also move relatively slowly in the direction close to the atomization assembly 20, enabling the atomization assembly 20 to continuously perform the atomization operation.

[0034] In this application, by providing a plurality of liquid guiding holes 41 in the circumferential direction of the atomizing bracket 40, the liquid supply from the liquid storage member 50 to the liquid guiding member 30 can be made more uniform, thereby making the distribution of the atomizing liquid in the liquid guiding member 30 (the distribution of the atomizing liquid entering the liquid guiding member 30 from the liquid storage member 50 within a short period of a single puff) more uniform, and further making the distribution of the atomizing liquid conducted from the liquid guiding member 30 to the atomizing assembly 20 more uniform at the atomizing assembly 20.

[0035] During the suction process, the pressure and flow rate of the atomizing liquid received at various circumferential positions within the atomizer 1 can also be more uniform, avoiding excessive liquid supply at some circumferential positions and insufficient liquid supply at some circumferential positions. That is, it is possible to avoid phenomena such as dry burning at some positions of the atomizing assembly 20 and splashing of liquid at some positions, thereby extending the service life of the atomizing assembly 20. During continuous suction by the user, the consistency of the taste can be improved.

[0036] In this application, by providing the atomizing bracket 40 between the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50, it can play a good supporting role for the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50, avoiding deformation due to the influence of air flow during suction. At the same time, it can also indirectly support and protect the atomizing assembly 20 within the liquid guiding member 30, preventing the deformation of the liquid guiding member 30 from driving the atomizing assembly 20 to deform as well. That is, the atomizing bracket 40 can extend the service life of the atomizer 1.

[0037] It should be understood that the atomizing liquid has a certain viscosity. In this application, by setting the liquid storage member 50 as a porous structure, compared with the method of setting a single chamber to store the atomizing liquid, the porous structure of the liquid storage member 50 has a greater resistance to the atomizing liquid and can have a better liquid locking function. The liquid locking performance of the liquid storage member 50 can make the distribution of the atomizing liquid therein more uniform, alleviating the phenomenon that the distribution of the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage member 50 becomes uneven during the user's use as the atomizing liquid in the atomizer 1 is consumed and the user's holding posture changes during use. Further, it can also cooperate with the liquid guiding holes 41 to further alleviate the phenomenon of uneven liquid supply to various positions of the atomizing assembly 20 caused by uneven distribution of the atomizing liquid. At the same time, compared with the method of setting a single chamber to store the atomizing liquid, the porous structure of the liquid storage member 50 is also more likely to draw out the atomizing liquid along with the air flow during suction.

[0038] It should be understood that to ensure the smooth conduction of the atomizing liquid from the liquid storage member 50 to the heating element 21, the outer wall of the atomizing bracket 40 is arranged in close contact with the liquid storage member 50, and the outer wall of the liquid guiding member 30 is arranged in close contact with the inner wall of the atomizing bracket 40.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50 are made of cotton material.

[0040] In some other alternative embodiments, the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50 may also be made of materials such as porous ceramics and porous silica.

[0041] It should be understood that the porosity and pore diameter of the liquid guiding member 30 and the liquid storage member 50 are not limited in this embodiment. As long as the liquid guiding member 30 can achieve the liquid guiding function and the liquid storage member 50 can achieve the liquid storage function.

[0042] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomization assembly 20 further includes an electrical connection portion 22. The electrical connection portion 22 is electrically connected to the heating element 21 and is used to connect to a power source to supply power to the heating element 21.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heating element 21 is in an arc-shaped sheet shape and is disposed adjacent to the inner wall surface of the liquid guiding member 30. The electrical connection portion 22 is electrically connected to the side of the heating element 21 away from the liquid guiding member 30 and extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the liquid guiding member 30 so that the heating element 21 fits the inner wall surface of the liquid guiding member 30. The end of the electrical connection portion 22 that is not connected to the heating element 21 extends outside the atomization bracket 40 for connecting to a power source.

[0044] In some other alternative embodiments, the heating element 21 may also be provided in other shapes such as a spiral shape and a cylindrical shape.

[0045] In some embodiments, a plurality of liquid guiding holes 41 are provided at intervals both axially and circumferentially on at least a part of the axial section of the atomization bracket 40.

[0046] By providing a plurality of liquid guiding holes 41 at intervals both circumferentially and axially on the atomization bracket 40, the atomization bracket 40 within this axial section can be made to be similar to a net shape (or can be called a honeycomb shape), further improving the uniformity of liquid supply at each position at this axial section.

[0047] Furthermore, the length of the axial section of the atomization bracket 40 where the liquid guiding holes 41 are distributed is adapted to the axial length of the liquid guiding member 30.

[0048] By controlling the length of the axial section of the atomization bracket 40 where the liquid guiding holes 41 are distributed, it can be ensured that at each position within the atomization bracket 40 corresponding to the liquid guiding member 30, there is (or is adjacent to) a liquid guiding hole 41 for the atomization liquid in the liquid storage member 50 to flow through, further improving the flow rate and pressure of the liquid supply at each position of the liquid guiding member 30.

[0049] It should be understood that "the length of the shaft section of the atomization bracket 40 where the liquid guide holes 41 are distributed is adapted to the axial length of the liquid guide member 30" can mean that their axial lengths are equal, or the length of the part of the shaft section of the atomization bracket 40 where the liquid guide holes 41 are distributed is slightly less than the axial length of the liquid guide member 30, etc. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0050] In this embodiment, the liquid guide holes 41 are round holes, and a plurality of them are evenly spaced along the axial direction and the circumferential direction on the shaft section of the atomization bracket 40 corresponding to the liquid guide member 30.

[0051] In some other alternative embodiments, the shape of the liquid guide holes 41 can also be set as oval, polygon (such as Figure 5 shown), irregular shape, etc. The number of the liquid guide holes 41 in the circumferential direction and / or the axial direction is not limited here. The size of each liquid guide hole 41 is also not limited here.

[0052] It should be understood that the number and size of the liquid guide holes 41 need to be flexibly adjusted according to specific situations. For example, when the liquid guide holes 41 are set as round and the size is small, the number can be set to be more; when the liquid guide holes 41 are set as longitudinally long, only one or two can be set in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of them are set in the axial direction (or one is set in the axial direction and a plurality of them are set in the circumferential direction), etc. There are many potential embodiments, and it is sufficient that each position of the liquid guide member 30 corresponds to (or is adjacent to) a liquid guide hole 41, and they are not listed one by one here.

[0053] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the axial length of the heating element 21 is less than or equal to the axial length of the liquid guide member 30 to avoid dry burning of the part of the heating element 21 that extends beyond the liquid guide member 30.

[0054] The axial length of the atomization bracket 40 is greater than or equal to the axial lengths of the liquid storage member 50 and the liquid guide member 30. The setting of the length of the atomization bracket 40 can better support the liquid storage member 50 and the liquid guide member 30. When the length of the atomization bracket 40 is greater than the lengths of the liquid storage member 50 and the liquid guide member 30, it can also extend the length of the air outlet channel 100 and reduce the number of components arranged in the gas flow path.

[0055] It should be understood that the aforementioned "axial length" refers to Figures 2 to 4 the length in the direction of the axis L.

[0056] Continuing to refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in some embodiments, the atomizer 1 further includes a liquid inlet member 60 for adding new atomized liquid into the liquid storage member 50 after the atomized liquid in the liquid storage member 50 is sucked.

[0057] Specifically, the liquid inlet member 60 is cylindrical, penetrates through the liquid storage member 50, and at least one liquid inlet hole 61 is formed on the side wall thereof.

[0058] By providing the liquid inlet member 60, after the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage member 50 of the atomizer 1 is sucked out, it is not necessary to replace the new liquid storage member 50. The user can operate by himself / herself to add new atomizing liquid into the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid inlet member 60, reducing the operation difficulty of the user and improving the user experience.

[0059] By setting the liquid inlet member 60 to be cylindrical and providing at least one liquid inlet hole 61 on its side wall, the liquid supply speed of adding atomizing liquid into the liquid storage member 50 can be controlled, avoiding the situation that the liquid supply speed is greater than the absorption speed of the liquid storage member 50 (the flow rate of the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage member 50), resulting in the leakage of the atomizing liquid.

[0060] It should be understood that the liquid storage member 50 is provided with relief holes at the positions corresponding to the liquid inlet member 60 and the atomizing bracket 40 respectively, so that the liquid inlet member 60 and the atomizing bracket 40 can penetrate through the liquid storage member 50 respectively.

[0061] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, at least one liquid inlet hole 61 is located on the side of the liquid inlet member 60 close to the atomizing bracket 40, so that the atomizing liquid entering the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid inlet hole 61 can be first filled at the position close to the atomizing bracket 40. The user can quickly and briefly fill the atomizing liquid and quickly perform suction.

[0062] Furthermore, the range covered by at least one liquid inlet hole 61 in the axial direction of the liquid storage member 50 and the range covered by the plurality of liquid guiding holes 41 in the axial direction of the liquid storage member 50 at least partially overlap. Such a setting method can further shorten the distance between the liquid inlet hole 61 and the liquid guiding hole 41, and further ensure that the atomizing liquid entering the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid inlet hole 61 can be first filled at the position close to the atomizing bracket 40.

[0063] In this embodiment, the axis of the liquid inlet member 60 is parallel to the axis L. The liquid inlet holes 61 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the liquid inlet member 60, and each liquid inlet hole 61 is generally in a longitudinally elongated runway shape, and its axis is parallel to the axis of the liquid inlet member 60.

[0064] It should be understood that "the range covered by at least one liquid inlet hole 61 in the axial direction of the liquid storage member 50" refers to the projected length of the liquid inlet hole 61 on the axis L in this embodiment, that is Figure 2 and Figure 3 the length range m in. "The range covered by the plurality of liquid guiding holes 41 in the axial direction of the liquid storage member 50" refers to the projected length of the shaft section of the atomizing bracket 40 provided with the liquid guiding holes 41 on the axis L, that is Figure 2 andFigure 3 The length range n in

[0065] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, m is slightly less than n, and the connection line between the midpoint of m and the midpoint of n is perpendicular to the axis L. Such a setting is beneficial to shortening the liquid infiltration path and can accelerate the speed at which the atomized liquid infiltrates the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid guiding hole 41 and the liquid inlet hole 61.

[0066] In some other alternative embodiments, the axis of the liquid inlet member 60 may not be parallel to the axis L. A plurality of the liquid inlet holes 61 may also be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the liquid inlet member 60. The liquid inlet hole 61 may also be set in other shapes such as circular, polygonal, irregular, etc.

[0067] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1 further includes a housing 90 and a bracket assembly 10. Among them, the bracket assembly 10 and other components of the atomizer 1 are arranged inside the housing 90. The bracket assembly 10 can support (or accommodate) at least some components of the atomizer 1 so that they are connected to form an integral structure. A chamber can also be formed to prevent the atomized liquid in the liquid storage member 50 from flowing out.

[0068] Referring together to Figures 2 to 4 , specifically, the bracket assembly 10 includes a main body 11, a first sealing structure 12, and a second sealing structure 13. The first sealing structure 12 is detachably sealed at the bottom end of the main body 11, and the second sealing structure 13 is detachably sealed at the top end of the main body 11 opposite to the bottom end. The main body 11, the first sealing structure 12, and the second sealing structure 13 together define a chamber for accommodating the liquid storage member 50.

[0069] It should be understood that in this embodiment, during the process of the user's suction, the outlet end of the airflow in the air outlet channel 100 is the "top end", and the inlet end is the "bottom end". In Figure 2 the shown angle, the upper end portion is the "top end", and the lower end portion is the "bottom end". One end of the electrical connection portion 22 extending out of the atomization bracket 40 is the "top end" of the atomization bracket 40, and the opposite is the "bottom end".

[0070] Furthermore, a first connection hole 1211 is formed on the first sealing structure 12, and the liquid inlet member 60 passes through the first connection hole 1211 so that the bottom end of the liquid inlet member 60 is communicated with the outside of the bracket assembly 10, so as to facilitate adding atomized liquid to the liquid storage member 50 located inside the bracket assembly 10 through the liquid inlet member 60.

[0071] In this embodiment, the length of the liquid inlet member 60 in the direction of the axis L is greater than the length of the liquid storage member 50 in the direction of the axis L. The bottom end of the liquid inlet member 60 protrudes outside the bottom end of the liquid storage member 50, and the top end of the liquid inlet member 60 is flush with the top end of the liquid storage member 50.

[0072] It should be understood that the aperture of the first connection hole 1211 is set such that an interference fit is formed between the liquid inlet member 60 and the first sealing structure 12 to prevent liquid leakage. At the same time, the first sealing structure 12 can also limit the liquid inlet member 60 circumferentially and axially.

[0073] A second connection hole 131 is formed in the second sealing structure 13, and the atomizing bracket 40 is inserted into the second connection hole 131 so that the top end of the atomizing bracket 40 communicates with the outside of the bracket assembly 10, and further the air outlet channel 100 communicates with the outside of the bracket assembly 10, and the atomized gas flows out through the air outlet channel 100.

[0074] That is, the length of the atomizing bracket 40 in the direction of the axis L is greater than the length of the liquid storage member 50 in the direction of the axis L. The top end of the atomizing bracket 40 protrudes out of the top end of the liquid storage member 50 and is inserted into the second connection hole 131, which can not only extend the length of the air outlet channel 100, but also limit the atomizing bracket 40 circumferentially to prevent the atomizing bracket 40 from shaking in the liquid storage member 50 made of cotton material.

[0075] It should be understood that the aperture of the second connection hole 131 is set such that an interference fit is formed between the liquid inlet member 60 and the second sealing structure 13 to prevent liquid leakage, and at the same time, it can also limit the atomizing bracket 40 axially.

[0076] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the first sealing structure 12 can be divided into a sealing portion 121 and a mounting portion 122. The sealing portion 121 is used to achieve detachable connection and sealing with the main body 11. The first connection hole 1211 is formed in the sealing portion 121. The mounting portion 122 is disposed at the top end of the sealing portion 121 and corresponds to the atomizing bracket 40.

[0077] Referring together to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , further, the outer diameter of the mounting portion 122 is adapted to the inner diameter of the atomizing bracket 40. The mounting portion 122 is inserted into the bottom end of the atomizing bracket 40, and its top end abuts against the bottom end of the liquid guiding member 30, and is used to limit the liquid guiding member 30 axially.

[0078] That is, the mounting portion 122 can also cooperate with the second sealing structure 13 to limit the atomizing bracket 40 circumferentially and axially at the bottom end and the top end of the atomizing bracket 40 respectively, so as to realize the limitation of the atomizing bracket 40 in the bracket assembly 10.

[0079] In this embodiment, at the position where the installation part 122 is located, the first sealing structure 12 is formed with a third connection hole 1221 that penetrates through both ends. It is located at the bottom end of the air outlet passage 100 and is in communication with the air outlet passage 100, so that the bottom end of the air outlet passage 100 is in communication with the external environment of the bracket assembly 10 through the third connection hole 1221 to form an air flow passage for gas circulation. The electrical connection part 22 of the atomization assembly 20 also extends out from the third connection hole 1221 and is connected to a power source.

[0080] Again, Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the main body 11 includes a top wall and a side wall. The top wall is provided at the top end of the side wall and is formed with a fourth connection hole 111 adapted to the second connection hole 131. The atomization bracket 40 is also inserted into the fourth connection hole 111.

[0081] Refer to together Figure 2 , furthermore, a blocking part 15 is also provided on the main body 11. It protrudes from the bottom surface of the top wall and corresponds to the liquid inlet part 60, and is used to block the top end of the liquid inlet part 60 to prevent liquid leakage.

[0082] In some other alternative embodiments, the blocking part 15 may not be provided. By setting the liquid inlet part 60 to have a closed top end, a through bottom end, and a hollow interior structure, the above effect can also be achieved.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , the bracket assembly 10 further includes a liquid absorbing part 14. It is arranged on the second sealing structure 13 and is used to absorb the atomized liquid to prevent the atomized liquid from seeping out. At the same time, it can also absorb the condensate generated during the atomization process.

[0084] Specifically, the liquid absorbing part 14 is arranged at the top end of the second sealing structure 13, and the setting position corresponds to the atomization bracket 40. It is formed with a gas guiding hole 141. The gas guiding hole 141 is located downstream of the air outlet passage 100 and is in communication with the air outlet passage 100.

[0085] In this embodiment, the aperture of the gas guiding hole 141 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the atomization bracket 40 to further ensure the absorption of the atomized liquid and the condensate.

[0086] It should be understood that the liquid absorbing part 14 can be made of cotton material.

[0087] In some other alternative embodiments, the liquid absorbing part 14 can also be arranged at the bottom end of the second sealing structure 13, that is, clamped between the second sealing structure 13 and the top wall of the main body 11.

[0088] Such as Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1 further includes an atomizing nozzle 70, which is detachably disposed on the housing 90 and is used for a user to inhale.

[0089] Referring together to Figure 2 , the atomizing nozzle 70 defines an air outlet hole 71 that penetrates through both ends and is used to communicate with the air outlet channel 100 to form a through airway for the user to suck. The air outlet hole 71 communicates with the downstream of the air guide hole 141 and is connected to the air outlet channel 100 through the air guide hole 141.

[0090] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1 may further include a power supply assembly 80, which is disposed inside the housing 90 and is electrically connected to the atomization assembly 20 (specifically, electrically connected to the electrical connection part 22 of the atomization assembly 20), and is used to supply power to the heating element 21 through the electrical connection part 22.

[0091] As Figure 6 shown, the present application also constructs an atomization device, which includes the atomizer 1 under any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0092] In some embodiments, the atomization device may further include a liquid replenishing assembly 2, which is detachably connected to the atomizer 1 and has a liquid storage cavity formed therein for storing atomization liquid. The storage amount of the atomization liquid in the liquid storage cavity is greater than the amount of atomization liquid that the liquid storage member 50 can accommodate. The liquid storage cavity communicates with the liquid inlet member 60 and is used to fill the atomization liquid into the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid inlet member 60.

[0093] In this embodiment, the liquid replenishing assembly 2 is located at the bottom end of the atomizer 1, and the liquid storage cavity communicates with the bottom end of the liquid inlet member 60. By providing the liquid replenishing assembly 2, the number of times of disassembling the atomization device to fill the atomization liquid can be reduced. When the atomization liquid in the liquid storage member 50 is sucked out, the atomization liquid in the liquid replenishing assembly 2 can reach the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid inlet member 60 by the gravity of the atomization liquid in the liquid replenishing assembly 2 by inverting the atomization device. When the atomization liquid in the liquid replenishing assembly 2 is used up, a new liquid replenishing assembly 2 can be replaced. Such a setting can further reduce the operation steps of the user to fill the atomization liquid and improve the user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the atomizer 1 does not include the power supply assembly 80, the power supply assembly 80 can also be separately provided and electrically connected to the atomization assembly 20 by being detachably connected to the atomizer 1.

[0095] For example, a housing can be provided, and the power supply assembly 80 and the liquid replenishing assembly 2 are installed in the housing. By detachably connecting the housing to the bracket assembly 10 of the atomizer 1, the liquid replenishing assembly 2 is communicated with the liquid inlet member 60, and the power supply assembly 80 is electrically connected to the atomization assembly 20.

[0096] As Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, an air inlet hole 200 is further provided on the atomizing device. The air inlet hole 200 connects the end of the air outlet channel 100 away from the atomizing nozzle 70 to the external environment, forming a complete air flow channel.

[0097] In this embodiment, the air inlet hole 200 is located on the bottom side of the third connection hole 1221 and is connected to the air outlet channel 100 through the third connection hole 1221.

[0098] During the user's suction process, external air sequentially passes through the air inlet hole 200 and the third connection hole 1221 to reach the air outlet channel 100. At the air outlet channel 100, the air is mixed with the atomized atomizing liquid to form a mixed gas, and then flows out through the air outlet channel 100, the air guide hole 141, and the air outlet hole 71 of the atomizing nozzle 70, realizing one suction.

[0099] The air inlet hole 200 can be provided on the bracket assembly 10 of the atomizer 1, or on the housing at the detachable connection between the liquid replenishing assembly 2 and the atomizer 1, or at the connection between the atomizer 1 and the liquid replenishing assembly 2 (respectively provided on the two mechanisms and overlapping each other after assembly), which is not specifically limited herein.

[0100] It should be understood that in addition to the atomizing device within any of the above-described embodiments constructed in the present application, the atomizer 1 can also be provided within other types of atomizing devices. The atomizing devices in the above embodiments should not be regarded as an application limitation of the atomizer 1 constructed in the present application.

[0101] For example, the atomizer 1 can be provided within an atomizing device that does not have components such as the liquid replenishing assembly 2, and a sealing member can be provided to seal the bottom end of the liquid inlet member 60. When it is necessary to add atomizing liquid to the liquid storage member 50, the sealing member is opened, and the atomizing liquid can be added to the liquid storage member 50 through the liquid inlet member 60. Another example is that when the atomizer 1 is not provided with a liquid inlet member 60 and the atomizing device to which the atomizer 1 is applied does not have components such as the liquid replenishing assembly 2, the liquid supply can be realized by directly adding atomizing liquid to the liquid storage member 50. This is not listed one by one here.

[0102] The above uses specific examples to elaborate on the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the technical field to which the present application pertains, based on the idea of the present application, several simple deductions, deformations, or substitutions can also be made.
