Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization component and atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern atomization technology, the design and performance of atomizing components are crucial, especially in applications involving atomizing matrices. To ensure the atomizing matrix can penetrate the atomizing core uniformly and smoothly and be effectively atomized by the heating element, it is essential to maintain a pressure balance between the inside and outside of the atomizing component's cavity. To address this, ventilation channels are typically designed inside the atomizing component. These channels regulate the internal pressure during use, bringing it closer to the external ambient pressure. However, existing ventilation channel designs have several shortcomings.

[0003] In related technologies, due to limitations in manufacturing processes and differences in material properties, the consistency of the ventilation channels between different batches of products is poor. This leads to fluctuations in product performance and affects the user experience. Furthermore, an unstable ventilation channel structure design may cause deformation or blockage during actual use. When a user inhales, if the ventilation channel deforms due to material softening or other reasons, it may cause airflow obstruction, resulting in insufficient pressure replenishment within the storage chamber of the atomization mechanism. This pressure imbalance prevents the atomizing matrix in the storage chamber from flowing smoothly to the atomizing core, thus affecting the efficiency of the atomization process. For example, this may lead to uneven absorption of the atomizing matrix by the atomizing core, sometimes even resulting in the atomizing matrix being inhaled before it is fully atomized, or the atomizing matrix not being replenished to the atomizing core in time, leading to dry burning. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an atomizing component and atomizing device that can ensure the consistency of the ventilation slot and the stability of the structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this utility model provide an atomizing component and atomizing device, comprising:

[0006] The outer shell defines the receiving chamber;

[0007] The atomizing core is located within the receiving chamber;

[0008] A support member is located inside the outer shell. The support member and the atomizing core work together to divide the receiving chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is used to store the atomizing liquid, and the second chamber is connected to the air outlet channel. The support member has an air exchange groove that connects the first chamber and the second chamber.

[0009] A sealing element is sandwiched between the atomizing core and the support element. The sealing element fits the support element, and the sealing element and the ventilation groove together define the ventilation channel so that the gas in the second chamber can flow into the first chamber.

[0010] The hardness of the support component is greater than that of the seal component.

[0011] In some embodiments, the ventilation slot includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment extends along a first direction, one end of the first segment is connected to a first cavity, and the other end of the first segment is connected to a second segment. The second segment extends along a second direction, and the other end of the second segment is connected to a second cavity. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first segment includes at least a first arc segment and a second arc segment, the two ends of the first arc segment are respectively connected to the second arc segment and the first cavity, and the other end of the second arc segment is connected to the second segment.

[0013] In some embodiments, the direction of the convexity of the first arc segment apex is opposite to the direction of the convexity of the second arc segment apex.

[0014] In some embodiments, the depths of the first arc segment and the second arc segment are the same along the concave direction of the ventilation groove.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first arc segment has two oppositely arranged sidewalls, the second arc segment has two oppositely arranged sidewalls, and the distance between the sidewalls of the first arc segment is equal to the distance between the sidewalls of the second arc segment.

[0016] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first segment is configured as a capillary structure to adsorb aerosols.

[0017] In some embodiments, the depth direction of the second segment is configured to be away from the air outlet channel, and in a vertically upward direction, at least a portion of the depth of the second segment gradually increases on the side of the second segment closest to the air outlet channel.

[0018] In some embodiments, the surface of the seal that mates with the first segment is planar.

[0019] The second aspect of this utility model provides an atomizing device that employs the atomizing component of any of the above embodiments. The housing of the atomizing device includes an exhaust pipe disposed in a first cavity. The outer wall of the exhaust pipe is used to guide the flow of the atomizing liquid. The aerosol obtained by the heating component heating the atomizing liquid flows through the surface of the support member into the exhaust pipe and is then discharged from the first cavity in a direction away from the second cavity.

[0020] The surface of the support component used to guide the aerosol is curved.

[0021] According to the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] The hardness of the support component in this application is greater than that of the seal component. By setting an air exchange groove on the support component with greater hardness, and the seal component surrounding the air exchange groove to form an air exchange channel, the stability and consistency of the air exchange channel structure are ensured.

[0023] Specifically, due to the high rigidity of the support component, the ventilation groove can maintain high precision during manufacturing, and the orifice diameter of the ventilation groove is not easily changed by deformation under stress, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of the gas flow path. Because the sealing component has lower rigidity, it can better conform to the surface of the support component, forming an effective seal and preventing leakage of the atomizing liquid. When gas passes through the ventilation groove, due to the good stability and consistency of the ventilation channel structure, the ventilation channel of this application is not prone to deformation or blockage during actual use. The ventilation channel of the atomizing component of this application can maintain smooth gas flow, allowing the atomizing liquid to maintain good penetration during operation, which is beneficial to improving atomization efficiency and user experience.

[0054] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0055] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0056] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0057] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or," "and / or," or "and / or" throughout the text implies three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where A and B are simultaneously satisfied. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0058] In related technologies, due to limitations in manufacturing processes and differences in material properties, the consistency of the ventilation channels between different batches of products is poor. This leads to fluctuations in product performance and affects the user experience. Furthermore, an unstable ventilation channel structure design may cause deformation or blockage during actual use. When a user inhales, if the ventilation channel deforms due to material softening or other reasons, it may cause airflow obstruction, resulting in insufficient pressure replenishment within the storage chamber of the atomization mechanism. This pressure imbalance prevents the atomizing matrix in the storage chamber from flowing smoothly to the atomizing core, thus affecting the efficiency of the atomization process. For example, this may lead to uneven absorption of the atomizing matrix by the atomizing core, sometimes even resulting in the atomizing matrix being inhaled before it is fully atomized, or the atomizing matrix not being replenished to the atomizing core in time, leading to dry burning. For example, when the atomizing component is a cartridge for an electronic cigarette, in the prior art, the material used to define the air exchange channel of the cartridge is a relatively soft silicone part. The air exchange channel designed in this way is prone to deformation, which leads to the aforementioned series of problems. Furthermore, it is difficult to process and costly to set up an air exchange channel on a soft material.

[0059] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 14 This invention describes the atomizing component and atomizing device according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly includes a housing 100, an atomizing core 400, a support member 200, and a sealing member 300. The housing 100 defines a receiving chamber, in which the atomizing core 400 and the support member 200 are both disposed. The support member 200 and the atomizing core 400 cooperate to divide the receiving chamber defined by the housing 100 into a first cavity 120 and a second cavity 130. Specifically, the housing has a peripheral wall surface around its axis of rotation, defining a large cavity in which the support member 200 is disposed. The support member 200 has a partition portion protruding radially towards the housing, which, together with the atomizing core 400, divides the cavity within the housing into the first cavity 120 and the second cavity 130. The first cavity 120 is used to store atomized liquid, and the second cavity 130 connects to the air outlet channel 110. A heating component 420 is provided on one side of the air outlet channel 110. The heating component 420 abuts against the atomizing core 400. The atomizing liquid in the first chamber 120 seeps through the atomizing core 400 and reaches the surface of the atomizing core 400 that is abutted by the heating component 420. Under the action of the heating component 420, it is atomized to form an aerosol.

[0061] The support member 200 is provided with a ventilation groove 210, which connects the first chamber 120 and the second chamber 130. A sealing member 300 is sandwiched between the atomizing core 400 and the support member 200, and fits snugly against the support member 200. The sealing member 300 and the ventilation groove 210 together define a ventilation channel 500, allowing gas from the second chamber 130 to flow into the first chamber 120. Thus, the air pressure in the first chamber 120 and the second chamber 130 are initially balanced. This design facilitates the penetration of the atomizing liquid from the surface of the atomizing core 400 in the first chamber 120 to the surface in the second chamber 130, where it is acted upon by the heating assembly 420. To further explain, the second chamber 130 is connected to the air outlet channel 110. For example, when the atomizing component is a cartridge, the air outlet channel 110 is used for the entry of gas when the user inhales. The gas enters the second chamber 130 through the air outlet channel 110. The air pressure in the second chamber 130 is greater than that in the first chamber 120, so the movement of the atomized liquid through the atomizing core 400 from the first chamber 120 to the second chamber 130 is obstructed. At this time, due to the presence of the ventilation channel 500 and the fact that the air pressure in the second chamber 130 is greater than that in the first chamber 120, the gas in the second chamber 130 will enter the first chamber 120 through the ventilation channel 500. Therefore, the air pressure in the first chamber 120 increases, and the air pressure in the second chamber 130 decreases. That is, the air pressure in the first chamber 120 and the second chamber 130 tend to be balanced. As a result, the obstruction to the movement of the atomized liquid through the atomizing core 400 from the first chamber 120 to the second chamber 130 is weakened. Therefore, the atomized liquid penetration effect of the atomizing component of this application is better. For example, when the atomizing component is a cartridge and the atomizing liquid is e-liquid, a small amount of e-liquid will remain in the ventilation channel 500. When the user inhales, a small portion of the airflow in the second chamber 130 pushes the e-liquid in the ventilation channel 500 back into the first chamber 120 to balance the internal and external air pressure. It is understandable that as the atomizing liquid in the first chamber 120 is consumed, the air pressure in the first chamber 120 will gradually decrease. The principle behind the air pressure balancing mechanism in the ventilation channel 500 and the reason for this balancing has been explained previously and will not be repeated here.

[0062] Specifically, the support member 200 has a higher hardness than the sealing member 300. By providing a ventilation groove 210 on the support member 200 with higher hardness, and the sealing member 300 surrounding the ventilation groove 210 to form a ventilation channel 500, the stability and consistency of the ventilation channel 500 structure are ensured. Specifically, because the support member 200 has higher hardness, the ventilation groove 210 can maintain high precision during manufacturing, and the aperture of the ventilation groove 210 is not easily changed due to deformation under stress, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of the gas flow path. Because the sealing member 300 has lower hardness, it can better conform to the surface of the support member 200, forming an effective seal and preventing leakage of the atomizing liquid. When gas passes through the ventilation slot 210, due to the good stability and consistency of the ventilation channel 500 structure, the ventilation channel 500 of this application is not prone to deformation or blockage during actual use. The ventilation channel 500 of this application can keep the gas flow smooth, so that the atomizing liquid can maintain good penetration when participating in the work, which is conducive to improving atomization efficiency and user experience.

[0063] Furthermore, in order to prevent the aerosols that do not flow out of the second chamber 130 from condensing into oil and flowing out of the ventilation channel 500, a large number of capillaries are provided on the inner wall of the first groove to adsorb the condensed oil.

[0064] Understandably, in some embodiments, to further improve the stability of the ventilation groove 210 and the fit of the seal 300, the support 200 can be made of a high-hardness silicone material, metal material, etc., while the seal 300 can be made of a soft rubber material or other elastic material. Such materials can deform under pressure, better filling the tiny gaps between the ventilation groove 210 and the seal 300, thereby further reducing airflow leakage. This design not only allows the ventilation groove 210 to maintain a good shape during processing, but the elastic properties of the seal 300 also help enhance the sealing effect. Furthermore, this selection of materials for the support 200 and the seal 300 ensures stable performance even under temperature variations during long-term use.

[0065] It is understandable that the atomizing core 400 can be a ceramic substrate 410 that can be permeated by the atomizing liquid. The sealing member 300 is sandwiched between the support member 200 and the atomizing core 400. The main purpose of the sealing member 300 is to enclose the ventilation groove 210 to define the ventilation channel 500. Therefore, the shape of the sealing member 300 can be arbitrary, as long as it can enclose the ventilation groove 210. For example, in some embodiments, the ceramic substrate 410 has a recessed portion for storing the atomizing liquid and the recessed portion can limit part of the atomizing liquid to the recessed area 411. The sealing member 300 is disposed on the outer periphery of the recessed portion, and the side of the sealing member 300 away from the ceramic substrate 410 encloses the ventilation groove 210 to define the ventilation channel 500.

[0066] Reference Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, the ventilation channel 210 includes a first segment 211 and a second segment 212. The first segment 211 extends along a first direction, with one end connected to the first cavity 120 and the other end connected to the second segment 212. The second segment 212 extends along a second direction, with the other end connected to the second cavity 130. The first and second directions intersect, and this structural design allows the ventilation channel 210 to effectively guide the gas flow path while reducing airflow resistance loss at corners. By setting the first segment 211 and the second segment 212, the gas in the first cavity 120 can be effectively guided to the second cavity 130, thereby improving the smoothness of airflow. When the airflow flows from the first cavity 120 to the second cavity 130, due to the presence of the first segment 211, the gas first flows along the first direction, then changes direction upon reaching the second segment 212, flowing along the second direction, and finally entering the second cavity 130.

[0067] Because the first and second directions intersect, the speed and direction of the airflow change at the turning point, which helps to increase the turbulence of the airflow, thereby further increasing the opportunity for the gas to contact the atomizing liquid and enhancing the atomization effect. Specifically, the change in speed and direction of the airflow at the turning point means that the airflow will generate vortices and pulsations at the turning point, increasing the randomness and irregularity of the airflow. This randomness and irregularity helps to increase the opportunity for the gas to contact the atomizing liquid. It can be understood that the airflow from the first segment 211 diffuses into the atomizing liquid in multiple directions, which has the effect of agitating the atomizing liquid and can more effectively disperse the atomizing liquid into tiny droplets, thereby enhancing the atomization effect.

[0068] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first and second directions can be adjusted according to actual needs, for example, they can be vertical or inclined. For example, if the second segment 212 extends higher, the first segment 211 can be designed to tilt downwards to better prevent the atomized liquid from clogging the ventilation channel 500. Such a design not only takes into account the optimization of the airflow path, but also takes into account the overall structural layout of the device, making the atomizing component more adaptable to different usage environments.

[0069] Reference Figures 10 to 14 In some embodiments, the first segment 211 includes at least a first arc segment 2111 and a second arc segment 2112. The two ends of the first arc segment 2111 are connected to the second arc segment 2112 and the first cavity 120, respectively, and the other end of the second arc segment 2112 is connected to the second segment 212. The design of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 can extend the effective length of the ventilation channel 500, strengthen the capillary structure of the ventilation groove 210, and the arc design can reduce the resistance when the airflow passes through.

[0070] Specifically, by dividing the first segment 211 into a first arc segment 2111 and a second arc segment 2112, a smoother transition area can be formed between the first cavity 120 and the second segment 212 in the ventilation groove 210. The curved design of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 makes the airflow path smoother when passing through the ventilation groove 210, reducing airflow resistance at corners. In addition, the arc segment setting also helps to improve the uniformity of airflow distribution inside the atomizing component, which helps to improve the atomization effect.

[0071] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 can also be designed with slopes instead of arcs, as long as they can reduce airflow resistance. The sloped design can also reduce the friction of the airflow when passing through the ventilation channel 210, allowing the airflow to flow more smoothly from the first cavity 120 to the second cavity 130. It is understood that whether an arc or sloped design is used, the aim is to optimize the airflow path, allowing the airflow to pass more smoothly through the ventilation channel 500 and improving the working efficiency of the atomizing component.

[0072] Reference Figures 10 to 14 In some embodiments, the convex direction of the apex of the first arc segment 2111 is opposite to the convex direction of the apex of the second arc segment 2112. The opposite convex directions of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 allow the airflow to form a natural swirling flow when passing through the first segment 211, which helps to enhance the atomization effect.

[0073] The design of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 protruding in opposite directions causes the airflow to generate a rotational motion as it passes through the first segment 211. This rotational motion helps to disperse the airflow, increasing the contact area between the airflow entering the first chamber 120 and the atomizing liquid, thereby improving atomization efficiency. Simultaneously, this design allows for smoother airflow, helping to reduce the residence time of the airflow in the ventilation slot 210, enabling the airflow to flow more quickly from the first chamber 120 to the second chamber 130, thus improving the working efficiency of the atomizing assembly.

[0074] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the protruding direction of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different usage requirements. For example, the rotation angle and speed of the airflow can be optimized by adjusting the radius of curvature of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112, thereby further improving the atomization effect.

[0075] Reference Figures 10 to 14 In some embodiments, the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 have the same depth along the concave direction of the ventilation groove 210. The design that the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 have the same depth ensures that the ventilation groove 210 maintains a constant cross-sectional area throughout the ventilation process, thereby ensuring the stability of the airflow when passing through the ventilation groove 210.

[0076] Specifically, since the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 have the same depth, the airflow will not encounter a sudden change in cross-sectional area when passing through the ventilation slot 210. This avoids pressure fluctuations caused by changes in cross-sectional area within the ventilation channel 500, thereby ensuring the stability of the airflow within the ventilation channel 500.

[0077] Reference Figures 10 to 14 In some embodiments, the first arc segment 2111 has two oppositely arranged sidewalls, and the second arc segment 2112 also has two oppositely arranged sidewalls, and the distance between the sidewalls of the first arc segment 2111 is equal to the distance between the sidewalls of the second arc segment 2112. This design ensures that the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 have the same width in cross-section, thereby ensuring a uniform airflow distribution in all parts of the ventilation slot 210.

[0078] The design of equal distances between the sidewalls of the first arc segment 2111 and the second arc segment 2112 ensures that the ventilation slot 210 has the same airflow channel width at different locations. The uniform airflow channel width helps the airflow maintain a constant speed when passing through the ventilation slot 210, avoiding the phenomenon of airflow being too fast or too slow in some areas, thereby improving the uniformity of airflow.

[0079] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the first direction is horizontal and the second direction is vertical. By extending the first segment 211 horizontally and the second segment 212 vertically, an L-shaped ventilation slot 210 is formed. This design helps to improve the guidance of airflow and reduce the resistance of airflow when turning.

[0080] Since the first segment 211 and the second segment 212 are perpendicular to each other, the airflow enters the second segment 212 vertically upward from the second cavity 130, then changes direction upon reaching the first segment 211, flowing horizontally before finally entering the second cavity 130. This path design increases the turbulence of the airflow through bends and makes the path of the airflow more defined when turning, avoiding unnecessary detours.

[0081] Reference Figures 7 to 14 In some embodiments, the depth direction of the second segment 212 is configured to be away from the air outlet channel 110, and in a vertically upward direction, the depth of at least a portion of the second segment 212 gradually increases on the side of the second segment 212 closest to the air outlet channel 110. This design improves the airflow guidance by providing an inclined surface 213 on the side of the second segment 212 closest to the air outlet channel 110 to guide the airflow into the second segment 212 of the ventilation slot 210.

[0082] The design of the inclined surface 213 helps the airflow enter the second chamber 130 more smoothly from the second section 212, reducing airflow stagnation when approaching the outlet channel 110 and improving airflow fluidity. In addition, this design also helps to improve the uniform distribution of airflow in the air exchange slot 210, making the airflow more uniform when entering the second chamber 130, thus improving the subsequent atomization effect.

[0083] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the surface of the seal 300 that mates with the first segment 211 is planar. The planar contact design of the seal 300 with the first segment 211 aims to provide a tighter seal and reduce leakage as airflow passes through the ventilation groove 210. The planar contact of the seal 300 allows for more even pressure application, minimizing the gap between the ventilation groove 210 and the seal 300, thereby ensuring efficient airflow within the ventilation groove 210.

[0084] By designing the seal 300 and the first segment 211 into planar contact, the seal 300 can better conform to the first segment 211, reducing airflow leakage caused by poor sealing. The planar contact design allows the seal 300 to distribute pressure evenly, thereby improving the sealing effect without adding extra pressure. Furthermore, since the hardness of the seal 300 is less than that of the support 200, this design also helps maintain good sealing performance even when the seal 300 deforms, improving the reliability and service life of the atomizing assembly.

[0085] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the material selection for the seal 300 should also take into account heat resistance and chemical stability to meet the requirements of the atomizing assembly operating in high-temperature and chemical environments. By selecting appropriate materials, not only can the sealing performance of the seal 300 be improved, but its service life can also be extended.

[0086] A second aspect of this utility model provides an atomizing device employing the atomizing component of any of the above embodiments. Specifically, refer to... Figures 1 to 3 The housing of the atomizing device includes an exhaust pipe 140, which is located in the first chamber 120. The outer wall of the exhaust pipe 140 is adapted to adhere to the atomizing liquid. The aerosol obtained by heating the atomizing liquid by the heating component 420 flows through the surface of the support member 200 into the exhaust pipe 140, and then exits from the first chamber 120 in a direction away from the second chamber 130. The surface of the support member 200 used to adhere to the aerosol is curved 220. This design allows the heated aerosol to flow along the curved surface 220 of the support member 200 before entering the exhaust pipe 140. The curved surface 220 helps maintain a high uniformity of the aerosol during flow, avoiding the phenomenon of excessively high local concentration of aerosol when entering the exhaust pipe 140, thus improving the atomization effect.

[0087] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the curved surface 220 of the support 200 can be designed with various geometries to further improve the uniform distribution of the aerosol. For example, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 6 The curved surface 220 can be designed as an arc or a parabola, both of which help maintain a uniform state of the aerosol during flow. Furthermore, the curved surface 220 of the support 200 can also have minute convex and concave structures to further guide the airflow. These structures can further promote the uniform distribution of the aerosol and also help the aerosol to fully contact the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 140 during flow, improving the atomization effect.

[0088] Regarding the atomizing component of the atomizing device of this application, the hardness of the support member 200 is greater than that of the sealing member 300. By setting an air exchange groove 210 on the support member 200 with greater hardness, and the sealing member 300 surrounding the air exchange groove 210 to form an air exchange channel 500, the stability and consistency of the air exchange channel 500 structure are ensured.

[0089] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 14 Because the support component 200 has high hardness, the ventilation groove 210 can maintain high precision during manufacturing, and the aperture of the ventilation groove 210 is not easily changed due to deformation under stress, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of the gas flow path. Because the sealing component 300 has low hardness, it can better fit the surface of the support component 200, forming an effective seal and preventing leakage of the atomizing liquid. When gas passes through the ventilation groove 210, due to the good stability and consistency of the ventilation channel 500 structure, the ventilation channel 500 of this atomizing device is not easily deformed or blocked during actual use. The ventilation channel 500 of this atomizing device can keep the gas flow smooth, allowing the atomizing liquid to maintain good penetration during operation, which is beneficial to improving atomization efficiency and user experience.
