[0033] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of the liquid-injectable atomizing device.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In an embodiment of the present utility model, the liquid-injectable atomizing device includes:

[0035] The device body 100 includes an oil storage tank 110 and a power supply tank. The oil storage tank 110 has an oil storage cavity 111. The outer wall of the oil storage tank 110 is formed with a mounting groove 112. The bottom of the mounting groove 112 is provided with a puncture protrusion 113 and a liquid inlet hole 115. The liquid inlet hole 115 is connected to the oil storage cavity 111. The power supply tank is located below the oil storage tank 110 and has a battery 130 installed horizontally therein.

[0036] The essence bottle 200 is at least partially detachably inserted into the mounting groove 112. The essence bottle 200 includes a bottle body 210 and a sealing body 220 covering one end of the bottle body 210. A liquid supply cavity 201 for storing essence is formed between the bottle body 210 and the sealing body 220. The sealing body 220 has a puncturable area.

[0037] The sealing plug 300 includes a connected sealing section 310 and an abutting section 320. The width of the sealing section 310 is greater than that of the abutting section 320. The sealing plug 300 movably cooperates with the liquid inlet hole 115 so that when the fragrance bottle 200 is not inserted into the mounting groove 112, the sealing section 310 at least partially blocks the liquid inlet hole 115, and the abutting section 320 extends into the mounting groove 112. After the fragrance bottle 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 112, the puncture protrusion 113 pierces the pierceable area, and the sealing body 220 presses against the end of the abutting section 320 away from the sealing section 310. The sealing section 310 is located in the oil storage chamber 111, so that the fragrance in the fragrance bottle 200 can enter the oil storage chamber 111 through the flow gap 116 between the hole wall of the liquid inlet hole 115 and the abutting section 320.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the power supply compartment is located below the oil storage compartment 110 with reference to the direction of the atomizing device in use. That is, in this embodiment, the oil storage compartment 110 and the power supply compartment are arranged up and down. In this way, the oil storage cavity 111 and the battery 130 can be set larger to achieve a large number of puffs of the atomizing device.

[0039] Before using the atomizing device, the sealing section 310 of the sealing plug 300 is inserted into the liquid inlet hole 115 of the device body 100. It is understandable that the sealing section 310 can be designed to fit and fit into the liquid inlet hole 115 so that the sealing plug 300 can block the liquid inlet hole 115 and ensure the sealing of the device body 100. Then the device body 100 and the essence bottle 200 can be packaged and transported separately. When in use, the essence bottle 200 is inserted into the installation groove 112. During the insertion process, the sealing body 220 of the essence bottle 200 presses the sealing section 310 of the sealing plug 300. The sealing plug 300 moves along the axial direction of the liquid inlet hole 115 under the action of the pressing force. After the essence bottle 200 is installed, the sealing section 310 of the sealing plug 300 is pressed into the oil storage cavity 111, and the abutting section 320 of the sealing plug 300 penetrates the liquid inlet hole 115. The width of the abutting section 320 is small, so that a flow gap 116 is formed between it and the hole wall of the liquid inlet hole 115. After the essence bottle 200 is installed, the piercing protrusion 113 pierces the pierceable area of ​​the sealing body 220. In this way, the essence in the essence bottle 200 flows out of the essence bottle 200 and then enters the oil storage cavity 111 through the flow gap 116 to be atomized into aerosol for the user to inhale. When the essence in the essence bottle 200 is used up, a new essence bottle 200 can be replaced. It is worth mentioning that the essence bottle 200 can be filled with flavor essence or the same oil as in the oil storage chamber 111, which is not limited here.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention, by additionally providing a detachable essence bottle 200 and a sealing plug 300 that flexibly cooperates with the liquid inlet hole 115, allows the user to choose to install the essence bottle 200 in the oil storage bin 110. After the essence bottle 200 is installed, the sealing body 220 of the essence bottle 200 is punctured by the puncture protrusion 113, and the essence in the bottle flows out. At the same time, the essence bottle 200 presses the sealing section 310 of the sealing plug 300 into the oil storage cavity 111, and a flow gap 116 is formed between the abutting section 320 of the sealing plug 300 and the hole wall of the liquid inlet hole 115, so that the essence can enter the oil storage cavity 111 through the flow gap 116, enabling the user to add essence by himself. In this way, the user can choose the essence of the corresponding flavor according to his own preferences to meet the user's requirements for the aerosol flavor, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0041] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the bottom surface of the mounting groove 112 is configured as an inclined surface, and the puncture protrusion 113 is positioned higher than the liquid inlet hole 115. Specifically, when the atomizer is in use, the puncture protrusion 113 is higher than the liquid inlet hole 115. This allows the fragrance in the fragrance bottle 200 to flow to the liquid inlet hole 115 under the action of gravity. This allows fragrance to be added without adjusting the angle of the atomizer. Furthermore, the inclined surface provides a flow-guiding effect, ensuring that the fragrance quickly enters the oil storage chamber 111.

[0042] Further, the bottom surface of the installation groove 112 comprises a first inclined surface 117 and a second inclined surface 118 connected to each other, the puncture protrusion 113 is arranged on the first inclined surface 117, and the middle part of the liquid inlet hole 115 is located at the connection position of the first inclined surface 117 and the second inclined surface 118, which is lower than any other position of the bottom surface. In this way, the fragrance is prevented from being retained at the bottom of the installation groove 112, that is, it is ensured that the fragrance can flow to the liquid inlet hole 115 and then flow into the oil storage cavity 111 through the liquid inlet hole 115, thereby avoiding waste of the fragrance.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bottom of the installation groove 112 is provided with a support protrusion 119, the top of the support protrusion 119 abuts against the sealing body 220 to form a flow gap 120 between the sealing body 220 and the liquid inlet hole 115. In this way, the sealing body 220 is prevented from being attached to the bottom of the installation groove 112, thereby ensuring that a gap is reserved for the flow of the fragrance, so that the fragrance flows smoothly and the smoothness of the fragrance flow is improved.

[0044] In some embodiments, the sealing section 310 comprises an upper part and a lower part, the two ends of the upper part are connected to the abutting section 320 and the lower part respectively, and the side surface of the upper part is provided with a limiting protrusion 311, so that when the fragrance bottle 200 is not inserted into the installation groove 112, the limiting protrusion 311 limits the upper part in the installation groove 112, and the lower part blocks the liquid inlet hole 115. In this way, the sealing plug 300 cannot slide downward under the action of gravity, thereby ensuring the sealing reliability of the sealing plug 300. It can be understood that the limiting protrusion 311 can be a slight protrusion, so that when the fragrance bottle 200 is inserted, the sealing plug 300 can also be easily moved under the action of the pressing force, thereby ensuring that after the fragrance bottle 200 is inserted, the sealing plug 300 can be moved to a predetermined position to allow the fragrance to enter the oil storage cavity 111 through the liquid inlet hole 115.

[0045] In some embodiments, the side surface of the sealing section 310 is provided with a sealing protrusion 312, the sealing protrusion 312 extends along the circumference of the sealing section 310, and the sealing protrusion 312 abuts against the hole wall of the liquid inlet hole 115. The arrangement of the sealing protrusion 312 plays a sealing role on the one hand, thereby ensuring the sealing property of the oil storage cavity 111; on the other hand, it can also increase the friction force between the sealing plug 300 and the hole wall of the liquid inlet hole 115, so that the sealing plug 300 cannot be easily moved when it is not pressed by the fragrance bottle 200, thereby ensuring that the sealing plug 300 stably plays a sealing role.

[0046] In some embodiments, the number of puncture protrusions 113 is at least three, and the plurality of puncture protrusions 113 are arranged in a circumferential manner. The end surface of the puncture protrusion 113 away from the bottom of the mounting groove 112 is configured as an inclined surface, so that a spike portion 114 is formed at the junction of the top wall and the side wall of the puncture protrusion 113. The top wall of each puncture protrusion 113 is located at an end away from the spike portion 114, which is close to the spike portion 114 of another adjacent puncture protrusion 113. Due to the presence of multiple puncture protrusions 113, the sealing body 220 is punctured over a larger area, thereby increasing the liquid flow area and improving the instantaneous liquid inflow speed. The arrangement of the spike portions 114 of each puncture protrusion 113 ensures that the spike portions 114 are evenly distributed, making it easy and quick to puncture a large area of ​​the sealing body 220, ensuring that the fragrance can flow out in a timely manner, thereby ensuring that the fragrance is added to the oil storage chamber 111 in a timely manner.

[0047] In some embodiments, the wall of the oil storage cavity 111 is formed with a limiting groove 121, which is arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet hole 115. After the fragrance bottle 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 112, the sealing section 310 is inserted into the limiting groove 121. The provision of the limiting groove 121 can limit the sealing section 310, preventing the sealing plug 300 from being completely pressed into the oil storage cavity 111, and also prevent the sealing plug 300 from shaking and affecting the flow of the fragrance.

[0048] In some embodiments, one of the sidewall of the mounting groove 112 and the outer sidewall of the bottle body 210 is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the other is provided with a limiting groove 122. The limiting protrusion fits snugly into the limiting groove 122. This improves the stability of the essence bottle 200 after being inserted into the mounting groove 112, thereby improving the structural stability and reliability of the atomizer device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the refillable atomizer device further includes a cover 400, which is removably mounted to the notch of the mounting slot 112 to seal the notch. In actual use, when the fragrance bottle 200 is not installed, the cover 400 can be mounted to the notch of the mounting slot 112 to enhance the aesthetics of the atomizer device. To install the fragrance bottle 200, the cover 400 is removed to allow the fragrance bottle 200 to be inserted into the mounting slot 112.

[0050] In practical applications, the atomizing device may also be provided with a power supply compartment, which is located below the oil storage compartment 110, and a battery 130 is installed horizontally in the power supply compartment. In this way, the oil storage cavity 111 and the battery 130 may be set larger to achieve a large number of puffs of the atomizing device.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of patent protection of this invention.
