Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] To achieve the function of ejecting mist upwards, handheld ultrasonic miniature atomizers typically employ the following atomization structures:

[0003] 1) The atomizing structure includes a liquid storage chamber and an atomizing module positioned above the liquid storage chamber. The atomizing module and the liquid storage chamber assembly are connected by a cotton wick. The cotton wick draws liquid to one side of the atomizing plate of the atomizing module. When the atomizing plate operates, it vibrates and atomizes the liquid, which is then emitted upwards as mist. However, the cotton wick is constantly immersed in the liquid, which can easily contaminate the liquid.

[0004] 2) The atomizing structure does not have a cotton wick, but in order to allow the liquid to come into contact with the atomizing plate, the liquid storage chamber is usually installed upside down above the atomizing plate. However, this method may cause seepage and leakage due to liquid level difference and gravity of the liquid after long-term use.

[0005] 3) The atomizing structure places the liquid storage chamber below the atomizing plate, which solves the problems of cotton wick contamination and leakage in inverted liquid storage. However, since the liquid cannot atomize if it is below the atomizing plate and does not contact it, user intervention is required before use to ensure proper atomization and upward mist output. For example, by shaking the entire device or the liquid storage bottle, the liquid in the lower storage bottle is shaken into a temporary liquid chamber that can contact the upper atomizing plate, where it is atomized by ultrasonic vibration. However, due to gravity, the liquid quickly flows back to the lower storage bottle, resulting in a limited amount of liquid that can be atomized, intermittent atomization, and short atomization time. Shaking is required again after the liquid in the atomizing chamber flows back.

[0006] For stable and continuous mist output, the atomizer must be held horizontally or at an angle to allow sufficient liquid to flow into the temporary liquid chamber and contact the atomizing plate. However, this method causes the entire device to tilt horizontally or at an angle, changing the direction of the mist outlet, which is originally pointing upwards, thus preventing upward mist output and causing significant inconvenience for the user. Furthermore, 3) in the atomization structure, due to the large accumulation of atomized air bubbles below the atomizing plate in the liquid chamber supplying the liquid to the atomizer, the liquid cannot directly atomize the plate, thus preventing normal atomization. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an atomizing module and atomizing device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] First, this utility model provides an atomizing module, comprising:

[0010] The atomizing section has an atomizing plate group, a liquid replenishment chamber located below the atomizing plate group, and a mist outlet chamber located above the atomizing plate group. The mist outlet chamber opens upward so that the liquid in the liquid replenishment chamber is atomized by the atomizing plate group and then exits vertically upward as mist.

[0011] A liquid storage section is detachably installed on the side of the atomizing section, and has a liquid storage chamber and a liquid replenishment port, wherein the liquid replenishment port is connected to the liquid replenishment chamber;

[0012] The top of the replenishment chamber near the replenishment port is opened in the direction towards the replenishment port to form a first flow channel, so that the atomized bubbles of the replenishment chamber flow along the first flow channel toward the storage chamber.

[0013] During operation, the atomizing plate assembly starts, and the liquid in the replenishment chamber is atomized into tiny particles to form an upward airflow. The storage chamber continuously replenishes liquid through the replenishment port. The bubbles generated during atomization enter the storage chamber along the first flow channel under the action of buoyancy. The negative pressure generated by the migration of bubbles promotes liquid replenishment and ensures the effective operation of the atomizing plate assembly. The vertically open structure of the mist outlet chamber ensures that the atomized particles rise in a straight line without obstruction, achieving stable upward mist output.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention overcomes the limitations of traditional atomizers that rely on wicks or inverted structures. Unlike bottom-filled designs that require manual shaking, this invention establishes an automatic liquid replenishment mechanism through a lateral connection structure, utilizing pressure changes generated by bubble migration to maintain liquid balance. Compared to the leakage risk associated with inverted liquid reservoirs, this embodiment employs a horizontal layout for the liquid reservoir and atomizing section, with a lateral liquid flow path, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of leakage inherent in vertical flow in inverted designs.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, this utility model achieves liquid transfer without cotton wick contamination, avoiding leakage problems caused by inverted liquid storage. The detachable linkage design of the replenishment chamber and the storage chamber ensures continuous and stable atomization. Users can obtain an upright atomization effect without manual intervention. The directional bubble discharge mechanism effectively maintains atomization efficiency, and the laterally detachable structure facilitates maintenance and cleaning. The overall solution improves reliability while optimizing the user experience.

[0016] As an extension of the above solution, the replenishment port is located at the bottom side of the liquid storage section and is arranged laterally to form a second flow channel, so that the liquid in the liquid storage chamber flows laterally towards the replenishment chamber along the second flow channel.

[0017] In this extended solution, the horizontal flow guide design of the second flow channel enables the liquid to form a stable flow between the storage chamber and the replenishment chamber. This avoids the liquid backflow problem caused by vertical flow and maintains the continuity of liquid delivery. The liquid is continuously replenished to the replenishment chamber through the horizontal flow path, allowing the atomizing plate group to maintain normal working condition for a long time. The continuity of the atomization process can be guaranteed without manual intervention from the user, and a stable upward misting effect can be obtained.

[0018] As an extension of the above solution, the atomizing unit has a connecting interface on the side adjacent to the liquid storage unit. The replenishment port is inserted into the connecting interface to allow the liquid storage unit and the atomizing unit to be detachably installed and fixed. The detachable installation includes at least one of the following fixing methods: magnetic connection, snap-fit ​​fixing, threaded connection, interference fit fixing, and pin-hole insertion fixing. An elastic sealing ring is provided between the replenishment port and the connecting interface. This extended solution achieves rapid positioning and reliable sealing of the liquid storage unit and the atomizing unit, preventing liquid from seeping out along the connection gap during replenishment. Multiple optional fixing methods adapt to the strength requirements of different usage scenarios. For example, the magnetic connection facilitates one-handed operation for replacing the liquid storage unit, and the snap-fit ​​ensures connection stability and easy disassembly under severe vibration.

[0019] As an extension of the above solution, the bottom of the liquid storage chamber is arranged with a lower front and a higher rear, with the lower front end adjacent to the liquid replenishment port. In this extended solution, the spatial layout of the inclined bottom surface allows the liquid to achieve self-directed flow under static conditions, eliminating liquid stagnation and realizing the self-directed flow function of the liquid in the storage chamber. This ensures that the liquid continuously and stably enters the replenishment chamber, providing sufficient liquid for the atomizing plate assembly, thereby maintaining the continuity of the atomization process.

[0020] As an extension of the above solution, the bottom of the replenishment chamber, away from the replenishment port, is provided with a ramp. This ramp structure, by altering the bottom geometry, forces the liquid accumulation area to be directed below the atomizing plate assembly, improving the stable contact utilization rate between the liquid at the bottom of the replenishment chamber and the atomizing plate assembly. Simultaneously, the ramp structure converts the impact energy of the atomized bubbles into directional flow power, enhancing the efficiency of bubble discharge into the storage chamber and ensuring dynamic liquid level balance during atomization.

[0021] As an extension of the above solution, the top of the liquid replenishment chamber is provided with a through hole corresponding to the position of the atomizing plate group, and the bottom of the mist outlet chamber is provided with an opening corresponding to the position of the atomizing plate group. The central axis of the atomizing plate group, the axis of the through hole, and the axis of the opening are coaxially arranged.

[0022] In this extended design, the opening at the bottom of the mist outlet chamber is aligned linearly with the through-holes at the top of the atomizing plate assembly and the liquid replenishment chamber. This allows the atomized mist to directly enter the mist outlet chamber and rise vertically along the axial direction, eliminating the dispersion of atomization energy caused by channel misalignment. The liquid precisely covers the working surface of the atomizing plate assembly within the confines of the through-holes, concentrating the atomization energy on the vertically upward target area. The mist rises vertically along the opening axis, achieving stable and continuous upward mist output.

[0023] As an extension of the above solution, the atomizing section also has an electrode element electrically connected to the atomizing plate assembly. The end of the electrode element extends through the bottom surface of the atomizing section, such that the bottom surface of the end of the electrode element is flush with or protrudes from the bottom surface of the atomizing section, for connecting to a power source. This extended solution solves the problems of poor contact stability between the atomizing module and the power supply electrode, as well as the complexity of disassembly and assembly. The planar contact of the bottom electrode automatically completes alignment when the atomizing module is installed, avoiding the risk of open circuit caused by contact misalignment. The exposed bottom surface of the end, combined with the magnetic or snap-fit ​​structure, eliminates the need for twisting when replacing the atomizing module, achieving plug-and-play functionality.

[0024] Secondly, this utility model provides an atomizing device, including an atomizing module as described in any of the above embodiments. Through a structural design where the replenishment chamber and the storage section are detachably connected laterally, the liquid can be stably transported along the transverse flow channel to the area below the atomizing plate assembly for atomization. Simultaneously, the atomized bubbles flow back to the storage chamber through the first flow channel, forming a dynamically balanced liquid circulation. This ensures an upright upward mist output direction while preventing liquid leakage and contamination. It achieves stable and continuous upward mist output without inverting the storage chamber or using a cotton wick, effectively preventing liquid leakage and contamination and improving ease of use.

[0025] As an extension of the above solution, the atomizing device has an assembly cavity for mounting the atomizing module and a built-in power module. The assembly cavity has an electrode connection terminal powered by the power module. The atomizing module is detachably mounted in the assembly cavity to electrically connect the electrode element to the electrode connection terminal. Detachable mounting includes at least one of the following methods: magnetic connection, snap-fit ​​connection, interference fit connection, and pin / hole insertion installation. This extended solution solves the problem of poor stability in the connection between the atomizing module and the power supply, achieving reliable contact of the electrode connection during rapid assembly and disassembly.

[0026] As an extension of the above solution, the atomizing device also includes a cigarette lighter. A separate cavity houses the cigarette lighter module, which shares a power system with the atomizing module but uses separate circuit control. When the cigarette lighting function is activated, current is conducted through electrode contacts to the heating element in the cigarette lighter, creating a localized high-temperature area. The upward mist outlet channel of the atomizing module and the operating area of ​​the cigarette lighter are spatially isolated to prevent the atomized liquid from contacting the high-temperature components. Function switching is achieved via physical buttons or an electronic control module, ensuring that the two operating modes do not interfere with each other.

[0027] This extended solution, while maintaining the core function of the atomizer's upright mist output, achieves reliable integration of atomization and cigarette lighting functions through spatial separation and circuit control. Users can perform both operations on a single device without needing to carry a separate cigarette lighter, while avoiding physical interference and safety hazards between functional modules.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The following are several embodiments of an atomizing module and atomizing device according to the present invention.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, an atomizing module includes:

[0042] The atomizing unit 100 has an atomizing plate group 110, a liquid replenishment chamber 120 located below the atomizing plate group 110, and a mist outlet chamber 130 located above the atomizing plate group 110. The mist outlet chamber 130 is open upward so that the liquid in the liquid replenishment chamber 120 is atomized by the atomizing plate group 110 and then exits vertically upward.

[0043] The liquid storage section 200 is detachably installed on the side of the atomizing section 100, and has a liquid storage chamber 210 and a liquid replenishment port 220, wherein the liquid replenishment port 220 is connected to the liquid replenishment chamber 120;

[0044] The top of the replenishment chamber 120 near the replenishment port 220 is opened in the direction toward the replenishment port 220 to form a first flow channel 300, so that the atomized bubbles of the replenishment chamber 120 flow along the first flow channel 300 toward the storage chamber 210.

[0045] The replenishment chamber 120 refers to the liquid-containing area located below the atomizing plate assembly 110. Its top, facing the open structure 121 of the liquid storage section 200, forms an inclined, curved, or horizontally extending guide channel. This design allows the bubbles generated by atomization to move along the first flow channel 300 towards the liquid storage chamber 210 under buoyancy, preventing bubble aggregation from affecting atomization efficiency. Specifically, this can be achieved using a partially open top or a gradually expanding channel. The atomizing plate assembly 110 refers to an ultrasonic vibration element made of piezoelectric ceramic material, with an operating frequency range of 1.7-2.4MHz. It breaks the liquid into micron-sized droplets through high-frequency vibration. The upward-opening mist outlet chamber 130 means that the top of this chamber is unobstructed, and its height can be 1.5-3 times the diameter of the atomizing plate, ensuring that the atomized particles fully diffuse and rise vertically.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the atomizing plate assembly 110 is activated, the liquid in the replenishment chamber 120 is atomized into tiny particles, forming an upward airflow. The storage chamber 210 continuously replenishes liquid to the replenishment chamber 120 through the replenishment port 220. Bubbles generated during atomization enter the storage chamber 210 along the first flow channel 300 under buoyancy. The negative pressure generated by bubble migration promotes liquid replenishment, ensuring the effective operation of the atomizing plate assembly 110. The vertically open structure of the mist outlet chamber 130 ensures that the atomized particles rise linearly without obstruction, achieving stable upward mist output.

[0047] Compared to existing technologies, this embodiment overcomes the limitations of traditional atomizers that rely on wicks or inverted structures. Unlike bottom-fill designs that require manual shaking, this embodiment establishes an automatic liquid replenishment mechanism through a lateral connection structure, utilizing pressure changes generated by bubble migration to maintain liquid balance. Compared to the leakage risk associated with inverted liquid reservoirs, this embodiment employs a horizontal layout for the liquid reservoir and atomizing section, with a lateral liquid flow path, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of leakage inherent in vertical flow in inverted designs.

[0048] This embodiment achieves liquid transfer without cotton wick contamination, avoids leakage problems caused by inverted liquid storage, and the detachable linkage design of the replenishment chamber and the storage chamber ensures continuous and stable atomization. Users can obtain an upright atomization effect without manual intervention. The bubble directional discharge mechanism effectively maintains atomization efficiency, and the lateral detachable structure facilitates maintenance and cleaning. The overall solution improves reliability while optimizing the user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3As shown, the replenishment port 220 is located at the bottom side of the liquid storage section 200 and is laterally arranged to form a second flow channel 400, so that the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 210 flows laterally towards the replenishment chamber 120 along the second flow channel 400. The bottom side refers to the position of the liquid storage area of ​​the liquid storage chamber 210 near the edge in the horizontal direction, and this position is lower and close to the bottom surface. Specifically, it can be achieved by constructing the side of the liquid storage chamber, opening the side wall, or protruding the pipe structure. Lateral arrangement means that the extension direction of the second flow channel 400 forms an angle with the vertical direction. Specifically, it can be achieved by using a horizontally extending pipe or channel structure. This direction is arranged to form a directional flow path to constrain the liquid flow trajectory.

[0050] The liquid in the storage chamber 210 naturally collects in the bottom area under the influence of gravity. The horizontally arranged second flow channel 400 connects the replenishment port 220 and the replenishment chamber 120 to form a horizontal flow path. When the atomizing plate assembly 110 is working, the liquid in the replenishment chamber 120 is continuously consumed. At this time, the liquid in the storage chamber 210 flows steadily into the replenishment chamber 120 horizontally through the second flow channel 400. Due to the horizontal flow characteristics of the second flow channel 400, the directional constraint of the flow path reduces the possibility of liquid backflow due to gravity. The replenishment chamber 120 thus obtains a continuous and stable liquid supply, ensuring that the atomizing plate assembly 110 can work uninterruptedly.

[0051] In existing technologies, the liquid supply between the storage chamber and the atomizing chamber is vertical. Due to gravity, the liquid is prone to rapid backflow, leading to atomization interruption and unsustainable supply. Users must frequently shake the device to replenish the liquid. In this embodiment, the horizontal flow guide design of the second flow channel 400 ensures stable liquid flow between the storage chamber 210 and the replenishment chamber 120. This avoids the backflow problem caused by vertical flow and maintains continuous liquid delivery, ensuring the continuity of the atomization process without manual user intervention.

[0052] This embodiment achieves stable liquid flow between the liquid storage chamber 210 and the liquid replenishment chamber 120, solving the leakage problem of the inverted liquid storage in the prior art and the problem of intermittent atomization when the liquid storage chamber is placed below the atomizing plate without liquid supply. In this embodiment, the liquid is continuously replenished to the liquid replenishment chamber 120 through a horizontal flow path, so that the atomizing plate group 110 can maintain normal working condition for a long time. Users can obtain a stable upward misting effect without tilting or frequent shaking.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 2As shown, the atomizing part 100 has a connection interface 140 on the side adjacent to the liquid storage part 200. The replenishment port 220 is inserted into the connection interface 140 so that the liquid storage part 200 and the atomizing part 100 can be detachably installed and fixed. The detachable installation includes at least one of the following fixing methods: magnetic connection fixing, snap-fit ​​fixing, threaded connection fixing, interference fit fixing, and pin hole insertion fixing. An elastic sealing ring 221 is provided between the replenishment port 220 and the connection interface 140.

[0054] In this embodiment, the interface 140 refers to the guide structure provided on the side of the atomizing part 100, and the liquid replenishment port 220 is inserted into the interface 140 and an elastic sealing ring 221 is provided between them to prevent liquid leakage. The fluid inlet 220 and the interface 140 form an axial insertion fit. The detachable installation can be achieved through magnetic connection, utilizing the attraction of magnetic materials. Specifically, a permanent magnet can be embedded in the interface, and a magnetically conductive metal sheet can be placed at the corresponding position of the fluid inlet, achieving rapid positioning and fixation through magnetic attraction. Alternatively, it can be fixed with an interference fit, where there are slight dimensional differences between the plug-in components. Specifically, the outer diameter of the fluid inlet can be controlled to be 0.05-0.2 mm larger than the inner diameter of the interface, achieving self-locking through radial clamping force generated by elastic deformation. Another option is a snap-fit ​​fixation, using a locking block in a slot for fixation. Specifically, a locking block protrudes from the outer wall of the fluid inlet, and a slot is formed on the inner wall of the interface. The locking block extends into the slot, and then the fluid inlet is rotated, causing the locking block to rotate to the limit position in the slot, preventing the fluid inlet from retracting axially and thus achieving fixation. It should be noted that the detachable installation method in this embodiment is existing technology, and the specific installation and disassembly principles will not be elaborated further here.

[0055] This embodiment achieves rapid positioning and reliable sealing of the liquid storage unit 200 and the atomizing unit 100, preventing liquid leakage along the connection gap during replenishment. Multiple optional fixing methods adapt to the strength requirements of different usage scenarios; for example, magnetic connection facilitates one-handed replacement of the liquid storage unit, while threaded connection ensures connection stability under severe vibration. The axial constraint formed by the replenishment port and the mating interface effectively avoids sealing failure caused by lateral misalignment, and the compression deformation of the elastic sealing ring compensates for gap issues caused by manufacturing tolerances.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 210 is arranged with a lower front and a higher rear, with the lower front end adjacent to the liquid replenishment port 220. The lower front and higher rear design means that the bottom plane of the liquid storage chamber 210 forms an angle with the horizontal plane. This angle can be any tilt angle within the range of 1-30 degrees, specifically achieved by changing the curvature of the bottom surface of the liquid storage chamber or by setting a ramp structure. This tilted layout allows the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 210 to flow along the tilted direction under the action of gravity. The lower front end adjacent to the liquid replenishment port 220 means that the lowest point of the bottom side of the liquid storage chamber 210 is in direct contact with the inlet channel of the liquid replenishment port 220, allowing the liquid to directly enter the liquid replenishment port 220 at the lowest point of the tilted bottom surface.

[0057] In this embodiment, the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 210 is constructed as an inclined plane with a lower front and a higher rear. Under the influence of gravity, the liquid automatically converges towards the lower front end of the inclined bottom surface. Since the lower front end is adjacent to the replenishment port 220 without any height difference, the liquid can flow directly into the replenishment port 220 without overcoming a height difference. The replenishment port 220 serves as a liquid transfer channel between the liquid storage chamber 210 and the replenishment chamber 120. It remains continuous with the lowest point of the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 210, allowing the liquid to naturally complete the transfer process from the liquid storage chamber 210 to the replenishment chamber 120 under the drive of gravity.

[0058] Compared to existing technologies, when traditional liquid storage chambers have a horizontal or curved bottom, liquid tends to stagnate at the bottom, requiring the user to shake the chamber or manually tilt it to guide the liquid into the replenishment port. This embodiment, through its tilted bottom layout, allows the liquid to flow autonomously under static conditions, eliminating liquid stagnation and achieving autonomous flow within the storage chamber. This ensures a continuous and stable flow of liquid into the replenishment chamber, providing sufficient liquid for the atomizing plate assembly and maintaining the continuity of the atomization process.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the replenishment chamber 120, away from the replenishment port 220, is provided with a ramp 122. The ramp 122 refers to an inclined planar structure located at the bottom of the replenishment chamber 120, away from the replenishment port 220. Specifically, it can be implemented using a structure forming an acute angle with the horizontal plane, or it can be implemented using a curved slope structure. Through the geometry of this ramp, the bottom space of the replenishment chamber 120 is reduced, allowing more liquid in the replenishment chamber 120 to be atomized by the atomizing plate assembly 110, rather than remaining stagnant at the bottom of the replenishment chamber 120.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will understand that after use, when the liquid level in the reservoir is lower than the atomizing plate assembly, it means that the remaining liquid in the replenishment chamber has failed to contact the atomizing plate assembly above, causing the atomizing plate assembly to fail to atomize properly. In this case, the remaining trace or small amount of liquid needs to be shaken to make it contact the atomizing plate assembly to work, or a new reservoir can be directly replaced or liquid can be injected into the reservoir to replenish the liquid. In this embodiment, by setting a ramp 122 and positioning the ramp 122 at the bottom of the replenishment chamber 120 away from the replenishment port 220, the bottom space of the replenishment chamber 120 is compressed, indirectly increasing the liquid level under the same liquid volume, so that more liquid in the entire module can be atomized and used.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the atomizing plate assembly 110 is working, the atomized bubbles generated by the vibration impact the surface of the ramp 122 downwards. The impact direction of the bubbles is deflected due to the inclination angle of the ramp, and some of the bubble energy is reflected by the ramp 122 and flows towards the liquid storage chamber 210 along the first flow channel 300. The inclined design of the ramp 122 creates a gradually narrowing spatial structure in the area at the bottom of the liquid replenishment chamber 120 away from the liquid replenishment port 220, avoiding excessive stagnation or deposition of liquid at the bottom of the liquid replenishment chamber 120.

[0062] Traditional atomizing modules typically have a horizontal or curved bottom surface at the bottom of the liquid replenishment chamber. This allows liquid to accumulate in areas far from the replenishment port, resulting in the atomizing plates only contacting a localized portion of the liquid surface. The ramp structure in this embodiment, by altering the bottom geometry, forces the liquid accumulation area to be directed below the atomizing plates, improving the contact utilization rate between the liquid at the bottom of the replenishment chamber and the atomizing plates. Simultaneously, the ramp structure converts the impact energy of the atomized bubbles into directional flow momentum, enhancing the efficiency of bubble discharge into the storage chamber and ensuring dynamic liquid level balance during atomization.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the top of the liquid replenishment chamber 120 has a through hole 123 corresponding to the position of the atomizing plate group 110, and the bottom of the mist outlet chamber 130 has an opening 131 corresponding to the position of the atomizing plate group 110. The central axis of the atomizing plate group 110, the axis of the through hole 123, and the axis of the opening 131 are coaxially arranged. The through hole 123 refers to a through structure located at the top of the liquid replenishment chamber 120 and corresponding to the position of the atomizing plate group 110. It can be a circular, square, or polygonal hole, used to limit the flow path of liquid to the atomizing plate group 110. The opening 131 refers to a through structure located at the bottom of the mist outlet chamber 130 and corresponding to the position of the atomizing plate group 110. It can be an annular, rectangular, or conical opening, used to guide the atomized mist into the mist outlet channel. Coaxial arrangement means that the central axis of the atomizing plate group 110, the central axis of the through hole 123, and the central axis of the opening 131 coincide.

[0064] In this embodiment, the opening 131 at the bottom of the mist outlet chamber 130 is aligned linearly with the through hole 123 at the top of the atomizing plate assembly 110 and the liquid replenishment chamber 120, allowing the atomized mist to directly enter the mist outlet chamber 130 and rise vertically along the axial direction, eliminating the dispersion of atomization energy caused by channel misalignment. The liquid precisely covers the working surface of the atomizing plate assembly within the confines of the through hole, concentrating the atomization energy on the vertically upward target area. The mist rises vertically along the opening axis, achieving stable and continuous upward mist output.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the atomizing section 100 also has an electrode element 150 electrically connected to the atomizing plate assembly 110. The end of the electrode element 150 penetrates the bottom surface of the atomizing section 100, and the bottom surface of the end of the electrode element 150 is flush with or protrudes from the bottom surface of the atomizing section 100 for connecting to a power source. The electrode element refers to a conductive component that forms a conductive circuit with the atomizing plate assembly. Specifically, it can be implemented using a copper alloy conductive sheet or a spring pin structure. Its penetration through the bottom surface ensures that the conductive contact surface is located on the bottom surface of the atomizing section, guaranteeing that the electrode contact surface and the power electrode are planarly positioned when the atomizing module is installed in the atomizing device. The end bottom surface refers to the part of the electrode end not covered by insulating material. Specifically, it can be implemented using a metal plating layer or a polished surface, allowing the electrode contact surface to be directly exposed to the bottom surface of the atomizing section, maximizing the conductive area while providing contact conditions for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0066] In this embodiment, the electrode element is electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the atomizing plate assembly via wires. When the atomizing part is installed into the assembly cavity of the atomizing device, the bottom surface of the atomizing part forms a planar contact with the power electrode at the bottom of the cavity. After the end of the electrode element penetrates the bottom surface, its exposed portion directly forms a surface contact with the power electrode, and the contact area is determined by the diameter or cross-sectional size of the electrode element. The bottom surface mounting method ensures that the electrode contact point is aligned with the assembly positioning direction of the atomizing part, automatically achieving electrode alignment during vertical installation without the need to adjust the contact angle. The exposed end bottom surface allows for threadless connection using magnetic connectors or spring contacts. When the atomizing part is magnetically attracted to the assembly cavity, the bottom electrode and the power electrode form a stable contact under the action of magnetic force.

[0067] This embodiment solves the problems of poor contact stability between the atomizing module and the power electrode and the complexity of disassembly and assembly. The planar contact method of the bottom electrode automatically completes the alignment when the atomizing module is installed, avoiding the risk of open circuit caused by contact misalignment. The exposed bottom surface of the end and the cooperation with the magnetic or snap-fit ​​structure make it possible to replace the atomizing module without the need for twisting, achieving plug-and-play.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, an atomizing device 10 includes an atomizing module comprising any one or a combination of the above embodiments. The specific structure and working principle of the atomizing module have already been described and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0069] Compared to existing technologies, conventional atomizing devices rely on cotton wicks to conduct liquid, leading to contamination risks; require inverting the liquid storage chamber, causing leakage; or require users to frequently shake the device to maintain the liquid level. This solution, through a lateral connection between the replenishment chamber and the storage chamber, achieves a stable liquid supply without a cotton wick, avoiding the leakage risks caused by inverted installation. The first flow channel design at the top of the replenishment chamber actively expels air bubbles, maintaining continuous atomization without user intervention, unlike traditional gravity-based recirculation methods. The vertically open structure of the mist outlet chamber ensures that the device can output mist upright at any placement angle, overcoming the drawback of traditional horizontal holding causing mist flow direction deviation.

[0070] This embodiment prevents the stored liquid from being contaminated by the cotton wick, eliminates the risk of leakage caused by an inverted storage chamber, and avoids the burden of frequent shaking of the device by the user. The interconnected structure between the replenishment chamber and the storage chamber ensures a stable liquid supply, and the bubble removal mechanism in the first flow channel maintains the continuity of the atomization process. The vertically open design of the mist outlet chamber ensures that the direction of the mist flow is not affected by the placement of the device, achieving a stable upward mist output effect.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6As shown, the atomizing device 10 has an assembly cavity 20 for mounting the atomizing module and a built-in power module. The assembly cavity 20 has an electrode connection terminal 21 powered by the power module. The atomizing module is detachably mounted in the assembly cavity 20 so that the electrode element 150 is electrically connected to the electrode connection terminal 21. The detachable mounting includes at least one of the following methods: magnetic connection, snap-fit ​​connection, interference fit connection, and pin-hole insertion installation.

[0072] The assembly cavity refers to a groove or cavity structure used to accommodate the atomizing module. Specifically, it can be implemented using an injection-molded shell structure, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the atomizing module to limit the displacement of the atomizing module.

[0073] The power module refers to the power supply unit that provides electrical energy to the atomizing plate group. Specifically, it can be implemented using a rechargeable lithium battery module, with its output terminal directly connected to the electrode connection terminal.

[0074] The electrode connection end refers to the conductive contact or plug-in terminal set in the assembly cavity. Specifically, it can be implemented using elastic copper sheet or gold-plated spring pin, which is used to form a physical contact electrical connection with the electrode element of the atomizing module.

[0075] Detachable installation refers to fixing and separating the atomizing module from the assembly cavity in a non-destructive manner. Specifically, it can be achieved by using a combination of a magnet and an iron plate embedded in a magnetic connection. The magnet is placed at the bottom of the assembly cavity, and the iron plate is placed on the bottom surface of the atomizing module. Positioning and fixing are completed by magnetic adsorption.

[0076] When the atomizing module is inserted into the assembly cavity, its outer wall and the inner wall of the cavity form a guiding structure, automatically aligning the electrode elements with the electrode connection ends. For example, in the magnetic connection method, after the iron sheet on the bottom surface of the atomizing module is attracted by the magnet, the electrode elements and electrode connection ends generate pre-pressure in the vertical direction, ensuring stable contact resistance. In the snap-fit ​​connection method, a barbed snap is provided on the inner side of the assembly cavity, and a corresponding groove is provided on the side wall of the atomizing module. The module is fixed by mechanically locking the snap and the groove, at which point the electrode elements and electrode connection ends form surface contact in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the atomizing module can be installed and removed without rotation, avoiding wear on the electrode contacts, while ensuring the continuity of electrical connection in different installation methods.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the electrode connection end is designed as a dual-contact structure, corresponding to the positive and negative electrode elements of the atomizing module, respectively, and the contact surface is coated with an anti-oxidation layer. As a preferred embodiment, a guide boss is provided at the bottom of the assembly cavity, and a corresponding guide groove is provided on the bottom surface of the atomizing module. During insertion, the precise alignment of the electrode element is achieved through the cooperation of the boss and the groove.

[0078] This embodiment solves the problem of poor stability in the connection between the atomizing module and the power supply, achieving reliable contact of the electrode connection during rapid assembly and disassembly. The magnetic connection allows for one-handed replacement of the atomizing module, the snap-fit ​​connection provides enhanced vibration resistance, and the interference fit connection is suitable for applications requiring dustproof sealing. The elastic contact design at the electrode connection end further compensates for assembly tolerances, ensuring stable current transmission under different installation methods.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the atomizing device 10 also includes a cigarette lighter 30. A cigarette lighter is a device that uses electric heating or an electric arc to generate high temperatures to ignite tobacco. Specifically, it can be implemented using resistance wire heating or piezoelectric ceramic ignition. For example, a resistance wire heating coil with a protective cover can be installed on the side of the atomizing device housing. This feature allows the atomizing device to expand its auxiliary function modules while maintaining its original atomizing function, solving the problem of limited device functionality through structural integration.

[0080] It should be noted that this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the cigarette lighter's operation method. Technicians can customize the operation using existing technology based on actual usage needs. An independent cavity can be installed inside the atomizing device housing to house the cigarette lighter module. This module shares a power system with the atomizing module but uses separate circuit control. When the cigarette lighting function is activated, current is conducted through the electrode contacts to the heating element in the cigarette lighter, forming a localized high-temperature area. The upward mist outlet channel of the atomizing module and the operating area of ​​the cigarette lighter are spatially isolated to prevent contact between the atomized liquid and the high-temperature components. Function switching is achieved through physical buttons or an electronic control module, ensuring that the two operating modes do not interfere with each other.

[0081] Compared to existing technologies, traditional atomizing devices only have a single atomizing function, requiring users to carry a separate cigarette lighter to meet different usage needs, resulting in redundant equipment and inconvenience. Furthermore, existing multi-functional integrated solutions often suffer from inter-module interference; for example, high-temperature components can affect the stability of the atomized liquid, or atomized vapor can contaminate the ignition area.

[0082] This embodiment achieves reliable integration of atomization and cigarette lighting functions by maintaining the core function of the atomizing device's upright mist output through spatial separation and circuit control. Users can perform both operations on a single device without needing to carry a separate cigarette lighter, while also avoiding physical interference and safety hazards between functional modules.

[0083] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
