[0007] In some possible implementations, the atomizer further includes a reset drive assembly disposed between the housing assembly and the rotating shaft, the reset drive assembly being configured to drive the rotating shaft to move toward the base plate, so that the second clutch positioning member is positioned and connected with the first clutch positioning member.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the inner wall of the sleeve facing the rotating shaft and the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft are provided with a limiting groove on one side and a limiting protrusion on the other side. The limiting protrusion is slidably inserted into the limiting groove along the sliding direction of the rotating shaft. The limiting protrusion is confined in the limiting groove along the rotation direction of the rotating bracket.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the end of the connecting shaft facing the base plate is fixed relative to the base plate; the housing assembly further includes an end cap located on the side of the first accommodating cavity opposite to the base plate, and the end cap is magnetically connected to the side of the connecting shaft opposite to the base plate.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the atomizer further includes a first seal and a mouthpiece. The first seal includes a seal body and a plurality of sealing rings. The seal body is disposed on the side of the first atomizing component facing the end cap and slides and seals with the end cap. The ends of the plurality of first atomizing components facing the end cap are inserted one-to-one into the plurality of sealing rings and are sealed with the first seal. The seal body also has a first through hole communicating with the first atomizing component. The mouthpiece is disposed on the side of the end cap away from the first receiving cavity.

During this process, the rotating shaft can float relative to the rotating bracket along the central axis of the atomizer, ensuring that different first atomizing components can be switched within the housing assembly. This solves the problem that the rotating bracket will not float relative to the base plate along the central axis of the atomizer, thus making the overall structure of the atomizer more stable and reliable, avoiding the feeling of unreliable atomizer assembly for the user.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, an atomizer 1000 is provided in the embodiment, including a housing assembly 100, a rotating bracket 210, a rotating shaft 220 and a plurality of first atomizing components 310.

[0047] The housing assembly 100 is provided with a first receiving cavity 101. The housing assembly 100 includes a base plate 110 located at one end of the first receiving cavity 101. A rotating bracket 210 is rotatably mounted in the housing assembly 100, that is, the rotating bracket 210 is located in the first receiving cavity 101. A rotating shaft 220 is rotatably mounted on the side of the base plate 110 facing the first receiving cavity 101, and the rotating shaft 220 is slidably inserted into the rotating bracket 210.

[0048] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 220 may be coaxial with the rotation axis of the rotating bracket 210, and both are coaxial with the central axis L of the atomizer 1000. The sliding direction of the rotating shaft 220 relative to the rotating bracket 210 may be parallel to the extension direction of the central axis L. In addition, the rotating bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 220 are limitedly connected along the rotation direction of the rotating bracket 210. When the rotating bracket 210 rotates relative to the housing assembly 100, it can drive the rotating shaft 220 to rotate synchronously.

[0049] In this embodiment, a plurality of first atomizing components 310 may be installed in the rotating bracket 210 and arranged around the rotation axis of the rotating bracket 210. In addition, when the rotating bracket 210 rotates, the plurality of first atomizing components 310 may rotate synchronously with the rotating bracket 210 to realize the change of position of the first atomizing components 310.

[0050] In some embodiments, a plurality of first clutch positioning members 111 may be disposed on the side of the base plate 110 facing the first receiving cavity 101. A plurality of second clutch positioning members 221 may be disposed on the end of the rotating shaft 220 facing the base plate 110, and the second clutch positioning members 221 may match the first clutch positioning members 111. The plurality of first clutch positioning members 111 and the plurality of second clutch positioning members 221 are all arranged around the rotation axis of the rotating bracket 210.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first clutch positioning member 111 can be engaged and disengaged with the second clutch positioning member 221. When the first clutch positioning member 111 and the second clutch positioning member 221 are engaged and disengaged, at least one first atomizing component 310 can be positioned in the atomizing working position of the atomizer 1000. The first atomizing component 310 in the atomizing working position can be configured to respond to a suction action to operate and generate an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. Furthermore, when the rotating bracket 210 drives the rotating shaft 220 to rotate relative to the base plate 110, under the action of the first clutch positioning member 111 and the second clutch positioning member 221, the rotating shaft 220 can be driven to reciprocate along the rotation axis of the rotating bracket 210, that is, after moving away from the base plate 110, the rotating shaft 220 can move towards the base plate 110.

[0052] In some embodiments, a first atomizing component 310 in the atomizer 1000 may be in an atomizing working position.

[0053] In some embodiments, the atomizer 1000 may have two, three or more first atomizing components 310 in the atomizing working position at the same time, and the multiple first atomizing components 310 in the atomizing working position may be connected end to end in sequence through the air passage or air pipe provided in the rotating bracket 210.

[0054] When it is necessary to switch the first atomizing component 310, the user can rotate the rotating bracket 210 to switch the different first atomizing components 310 to the atomizing working position. The rotating bracket 210 will drive the rotating shaft 220 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 220, the second clutch positioning member 221 and the first clutch positioning member 111 will be squeezed against each other, and drive the rotating shaft 220 to move away from the base plate 110, so that the first clutch positioning member 111 and the second clutch positioning member 221 are separated, thereby allowing the rotating shaft 220 to rotate with the rotating bracket 210 relative to the base plate 110.

[0055] When the second clutch positioning member 221 rotates to engage with the adjacent first clutch positioning member 111, the second clutch positioning member 221 can be positioned and connected with the engaged first clutch positioning member 111, and the other first atomizing components 310 are positioned in the atomizing working position. The user can repeat the above operation until the desired first atomizing component 310 rotates to the atomizing working position.

[0056] The atomizer 1000 provided in this embodiment features a limiting fit between the rotating shaft 220 and the rotating bracket 210, and the rotating shaft 220 is also engaged and positioned with the base plate 110. This enables the switching and positioning of the first atomizing component 310, and provides a tactile feedback during the switching process, allowing users to easily identify whether the component is properly switched. During this process, the rotating shaft 220 can float relative to the rotating bracket 210 along the central axis L of the atomizer 1000. This ensures that when different first atomizing components 310 are switched within the housing assembly 100, the rotating bracket 210 does not float relative to the base plate 110 along the central axis L of the atomizer 1000. Consequently, the overall structure of the atomizer 1000 exhibits a more stable and reliable assembly, preventing users from perceiving the atomizer 1000 as unreliable.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 100 further includes a housing 120 and an end cap 130. The housing 120 may be disposed around the periphery of the first receiving cavity 101, and the end cap 130 may be disposed at the end of the first receiving cavity 101 opposite to the base plate 110. Accordingly, the housing 120, the base plate 110, and the end cap 130 may cooperate to define the first receiving cavity 101. In some embodiments, the base plate 110 may be connected to the inner wall of the housing 120 facing the first receiving cavity 101 by means of snap-fit ​​or interference fit, so that the base plate 110 and the housing 120 are relatively fixed.

[0058] In some embodiments, the housing 120 may have an operation hole 121 communicating with the first accommodating cavity 101. The user can access the rotating bracket 210 located in the first accommodating cavity 101 through the operation hole 121 so as to rotate the rotating bracket 210.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizer 1000 also includes a mouthpiece 400. The mouthpiece 400 may be disposed on the side of the end cap 130 opposite to the base plate 110. In some embodiments, the mouthpiece 400 may be integral with the end cap 130.

[0060] In some embodiments, the nozzle 400 may also be connected to the end cap 130 by means of magnetic connection, adhesive or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating support 210 may include a support body 211, a sleeve 213, and multiple partitions 212. Both the support body 211 and the sleeve 213 can be tubular structures. The support body 211 can be sleeved around the periphery of the sleeve 213 and spaced apart from the sleeve 213. Furthermore, the support body 211 and the sleeve 213 are coaxially arranged and both are coaxial with the central axis L.

[0062] In this embodiment, a partition 212 can be disposed in the space between the support body 211 and the sleeve 213, and can be connected between the support body 211 and the sleeve 213. Multiple partitions 212 can cooperate to divide the space between the support body 211 and the sleeve 213 into multiple second receiving cavities 214, and multiple first atomizing components 310 can be correspondingly disposed in the multiple second receiving cavities 214. In this embodiment, the number of first atomizing components 310 can be set as needed to two, three, four, or any other number greater than one. The number of partitions 212 can be set according to the number of first atomizing components 310, so as to divide the space between the support body 211 and the sleeve 213 into second receiving cavities 214 equal to the number of first atomizing components 310.

[0063] In some embodiments, the sleeve 213 has a hollow interior and forms an assembly cavity 2131 extending along the central axis L. The assembly cavity 2131 is open at both the end facing the base plate 110 and the end facing away from the base plate 110. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 220 is slidably inserted into the assembly cavity 2131.

[0064] In some embodiments, a limiting protrusion 2132 extending along the central axis L protrudes from the inner wall of the assembly cavity 2131 facing the rotating shaft 220. A limiting groove 222 extending along the central axis L is formed on the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 220 (i.e., the surface of the rotating shaft 220 facing the sleeve 213). The limiting protrusion 2132 can be slidably inserted into the limiting groove 222 along the sliding direction of the rotating shaft 220, and the limiting protrusion 2132 can fit against the inner wall of the limiting groove 222. Thus, under the cooperative action of the limiting protrusion 2132 and the limiting groove 222, a limiting connection between the rotating bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 220 can be achieved in the rotation direction of the rotating bracket 210, which can prevent the rotating bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 220 from rotating relative to each other, and allow the rotating shaft 220 to rotate synchronously with the rotating bracket 210.

[0065] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 2132 may protrude from the surface of the rotating shaft 220 facing the sleeve 213. The limiting groove 222 may be formed in the inner wall of the assembly cavity 2131 facing the rotating shaft 220.

[0066] In some embodiments, two sets of limiting protrusions 2132 and limiting grooves 222 may be provided and may be symmetrically arranged about the central axis L. This allows the interaction force between the rotating bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 220 to be evenly distributed around the central axis L, and reduces the probability of relative rotation between the rotating bracket 210 and the rotating shaft 220.

[0067] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 2132 and the limiting groove 222 may be provided in one, three, four or other arbitrary number of groups. When multiple groups of limiting protrusion 2132 and limiting groove 222 are provided, the multiple groups of limiting protrusion 2132 and limiting groove 222 may be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed around the central axis L.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the base plate 110 may include an integral base plate body 1101 and a connecting protrusion 1102. The periphery of the base plate body 1101 may be interference-fitted or snap-fitted with the inner wall of the housing 120 facing the first accommodating cavity 101. The connecting protrusion 1102 may protrude from the side of the base plate body 1101 facing the first accommodating cavity 101, and the connecting protrusion 1102 may be coaxial with the central axis L. Furthermore, the base plate body 1101 has an insertion groove 11011 on the side facing the first accommodating cavity 101, which may surround the periphery of the connecting protrusion 1102. Multiple first clutch positioning members 111 may protrude from the bottom of the groove 11011 on the side facing the first accommodating cavity 101.

[0069] In this embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 220, which is provided with the second clutch positioning member 221, can protrude relative to the end of the sleeve 213 facing the base plate 110. The end of the rotating shaft 220 provided with the second clutch positioning member 221 is rotatably sleeved on the periphery of the connecting protrusion 1102 and inserted into the insertion groove 11011 so that the second clutch positioning member 221 and the first clutch positioning member 111 are engaged and positioned.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first clutch positioning member 111 may include a first clutch tooth 1111. The second clutch positioning member 221 may include a second clutch tooth 2211. The second clutch tooth 2211 may mate with the first clutch tooth 1111, and the second clutch tooth 2211 may engage with the first clutch tooth 1111. Accordingly, the second clutch tooth 2211 may be inserted into a groove between two adjacent first clutch teeth 1111, and the first clutch tooth 1111 may be inserted into a groove between two adjacent second clutch teeth 2211.

[0071] When the user rotates the rotating bracket 210, the rotating shaft 220, driven by the rotating bracket 210, causes the second clutch tooth 2211 to press against the first clutch tooth 1111. Under the pressing action of the first clutch tooth 1111 and the second clutch tooth 2211, the rotating shaft 220 is driven to move away from the base plate 110, so that the second clutch tooth 2211 separates from the first clutch tooth 1111, thereby allowing the rotating shaft 220 to rotate relative to the housing assembly 100 along with the rotating bracket 210. When the second clutch tooth 2211 rotates to align with the groove between the two adjacent first clutch teeth 1111, that is, when the second clutch positioning member 221 is matched with the adjacent first clutch positioning member 111, the second clutch tooth 2211 can engage with the first clutch tooth 1111 to achieve positioning of the rotating shaft 220 and the rotating bracket 210, thereby positioning the corresponding first atomizing component 310 in the atomizing working position.

[0072] In some embodiments, the number of first clutch teeth 1111 and the number of second clutch teeth 2211 are equal, and both are equal to the number of first atomizing components 310.

[0073] In some embodiments, the number of first clutch teeth 1111 and the number of second clutch teeth 2211 may also be greater than the number of first atomizing components 310, for example, it may be two or three times the number of first atomizing components 310.

[0074] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the first clutch positioning member 111 may include a positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin) protruding from the base plate 110 on the side facing the rotation shaft 220, and the side of the positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin) facing the rotation shaft 220 may be spherical. The second clutch positioning member 221 may include a positioning groove 2212 formed on the side of the rotation shaft 220 facing the base plate 110, and the positioning groove 2212 may be adapted to the positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin). In the embodiments, when the first clutch positioning member 111 and the second clutch positioning member 221 are connected, the positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin) may be positioned and inserted into the positioning groove 2212.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first clutch positioning member 111 may include a positioning groove 2212 formed on the side of the base plate 110 facing the rotation shaft 220. The second clutch positioning member 221 may include a positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin) protruding from the side of the rotation shaft 220 facing the base plate 110, and the side of the positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin) facing the base plate 110 may be spherical. When the first clutch positioning member 111 and the second clutch positioning member 221 are connected, the positioning protrusion 1112 (or spring pin) can be positioned and inserted into the positioning groove 2212.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1000 further includes a reset drive assembly 500, which may be disposed between the rotating shaft 220 and the housing assembly 100. The reset drive assembly 500 may be configured to drive a second clutch positioning member 221 of the rotating shaft 220 to be positioned and connected with a first clutch positioning member 111 on the base plate 110. When the second clutch positioning member 221 disengages from the first clutch positioning member 111, the reset drive assembly 500 may drive the rotating shaft 220 to move towards the base plate 110, so that the second clutch positioning member 221 is positioned and connected with the first clutch positioning member 111.

[0077] In some embodiments, the reset drive assembly 500 may include an elastic element 510. The housing assembly 100 also includes a connecting shaft 140. The connecting shaft 140 may pass through the rotating shaft 220, and the rotating shaft 220 may slide relative to the connecting shaft 140. One end of the connecting shaft 140 may pass through the base plate 110 and protrude from the side of the base plate 110 opposite to the first receiving cavity 101. A nut 150 may be screwed onto the protruding end of the connecting shaft 140 relative to the side of the base plate 110 opposite to the first receiving cavity 101, and the nut 150 may be confined to the side of the base plate 110 opposite to the first receiving cavity 101. In some embodiments, the nut 150 may also be fixedly installed on the base plate 110 by means of interference fit or bonding, so that the connecting shaft 140 is fixedly disposed relative to the base plate 110. The other end of the connecting shaft 140 may protrude from the end of the rotating shaft 220 opposite to the base plate 110. Additionally, a first limiting edge 141 may be provided at one end of the connecting shaft 140 away from the base plate 110. The first limiting edge 141 may be located on the side of the rotating shaft 220 away from the base plate 110, and the first limiting edge 141 may be spaced apart from the side of the rotating shaft 220 away from the base plate 110, so as to provide room for the sliding of the rotating shaft 220, so that the rotating shaft 220 can move away from the base plate 110.

[0078] In some embodiments, the end of the connecting shaft 140 facing the base plate 110 can also be directly screwed to the base plate 110.

[0079] In this embodiment, a second limiting edge 223 may protrude from the inner wall of the rotating shaft 220 facing the connecting shaft 140, and the second limiting edge 223 may be located on the side of the first limiting edge 141 facing the base plate 110. In this embodiment, an elastic member 510 may be sleeved on the periphery of the connecting shaft 140. One end of the elastic member 510 may abut against the side of the first limiting edge 141 facing the second limiting edge 223, and the other end of the elastic member 510 may abut against the side of the second limiting edge 223 facing the first limiting edge 141. When the rotating bracket 210 is not subjected to external force, the elastic member 510 may be in a naturally extended state or a compressed state.

[0080] As the second clutch positioning member 221 gradually disengages from the first clutch positioning member 111, the second limiting edge 223 can compress the elastic member 510, causing the elastic member 510 to store corresponding elastic potential energy. When the second clutch positioning member 221 mates with the adjacent first clutch positioning member 111, the elastic member 510 can release its elastic potential energy and drive the rotating shaft 220 to move closer to the base plate 110, so that the second clutch positioning member 221 is positioned and connected with the corresponding first clutch positioning member 111.

[0081] In some embodiments, the elastic element 510 may be a structure such as a spring, a sheet, or an elastic column.

[0082] In some embodiments, one end of the elastic element 510 may be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 220, and the other end of the elastic element 510 may be fixedly connected to the base plate 110. When the rotating bracket 210 is not subjected to external force, the elastic element 510 may be in a naturally elongated state or a stretched state.

[0083] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the reset drive assembly 500 may include a first magnetic element 521 and a second magnetic element 522 with opposite polarities. The first magnetic element 521 may be disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 220 facing the base plate 110. The second magnetic element 522 may be disposed on the side of the base plate 110 facing the rotating shaft 220 and may be opposite to the rotating shaft 220. When the second clutch positioning element 221 disengages from the first clutch positioning element 111, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 521 and the second magnetic element 522 can drive the rotating shaft 220 to move closer to the base plate 110, thereby positioning the second clutch positioning element 221 with the corresponding first clutch positioning element 111.

[0084] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 220 may also be made of a high-density material, or a counterweight may be pre-embedded inside the rotating shaft 220. When the second clutch positioning member 221 disengages from the first clutch positioning member 111, the rotating shaft 220 may move towards the base plate 110 under the action of gravity, so that the second clutch positioning member 221 is positioned and connected to the first clutch positioning member 111.

[0085] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a third magnetic element 160 can be fixedly connected to the side of the end cap 130 facing the first accommodating cavity 101. In some embodiments, a first connecting wall 131 can protrude along the central axis L from the side of the end cap 130 facing the first accommodating cavity 101. The first connecting wall 131 can be annular and form a first mounting groove 132. The third magnetic element 160 can be disposed in the first mounting groove 132 and can be fixedly connected to the first connecting wall 131 by means of interference fit or the like. One end of the third magnetic element 160 facing the first accommodating cavity 101 can protrude relative to the end of the first connecting wall 131 facing the first accommodating cavity 101. In addition, the third magnetic element 160 can be disposed opposite to the connecting shaft 140.

[0086] In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 140 may be made of metal. The connecting shaft 140 may be magnetically connected to the third magnetic element 160 to fix the end cap 130 relative to the base plate 110. During the switching of the first atomizing component 310, the end cap 130 and the nozzle 400 may remain fixed relative to the housing 120 and the base plate 110, thereby preventing the nozzle 400 from floating along the central axis L during the switching of the first atomizing component 310. This results in a more stable and reliable overall structure of the atomizer 1000, avoiding the user's perception of unreliable product assembly.

[0087] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the end cap 130 has a second connecting wall 133 protruding from the side facing the first receiving cavity 101. The second connecting walls 133 are spaced apart and surround the periphery of the first connecting wall 131, and the second connecting walls 133 and the first connecting wall 131 can cooperate to form an annular second mounting groove 134. In some embodiments, the side of the second connecting wall 133 facing away from the first connecting wall 131 can fit against the inner wall of the housing 120 facing the first receiving cavity 101.

[0088] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the atomizer 1000 further includes a connecting seat 610 and a first sealing element 620. The connecting seat 610 may be annular and adapted to the second mounting groove 134. In some embodiments, the connecting seat 610 is rotatably mounted in the second mounting groove 134. The rotation axis of the connecting seat 610 may be coaxial with the central axis L. Additionally, the connecting seat 610 may have a number of first mounting holes 611 equal to the number of first atomizing components 310.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first seal 620 may include an integral seal body 621 and a sealing ring 622. The seal body 621 may be fitted into the side of the connector 610 facing the end cap 130. The seal body 621 may seal against the side of the end cap 130 facing the first receiving cavity 101, and the seal body 621 may slide relative to the end cap 130. Accordingly, a sliding seal may be formed between the seal body 621 and the end cap 130.

[0090] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 622 may protrude from the side of the sealing body 621 opposite to the end cap 130. In this embodiment, the first sealing member 620 may include a number of sealing rings 622 equal to the number of the first atomizing component 310. Multiple sealing rings 622 may be inserted one-to-one into multiple first mounting holes 611, and the sealing rings 622 may abut against the inner wall of the first mounting hole 611 facing the sealing ring 622 to form a sealing fit.

[0091] In some embodiments, the output ends of the plurality of first atomizing components 310 facing the mouthpiece 400 can be inserted one-to-one into the plurality of sealing rings 622 and abut against the side of the sealing body 621 facing the sealing rings 622 to form a sealing fit. In the embodiments, the sealing body 621 is also provided with a plurality of first through holes 6211, which can correspond one-to-one with and communicate with the plurality of first atomizing components 310. When the first atomizing component 310 is in the atomizing working position, the first atomizing component 310 can communicate with the mouthpiece 400 through the corresponding first through holes 6211.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the user switches the first atomizing component 310 by rotating the rotating bracket 210, the connecting seat 610 and the first sealing member 620 can rotate synchronously with the first atomizing component 310.

[0093] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the embodiment also provides an atomizing device, which may include a main unit 2000 and an atomizer 1000 provided in the embodiment. The main unit 2000 may be connected to the end of the atomizer 1000 near the base plate 110.

One end of the housing 2110 may be connected to the end of the housing 120 facing the base plate 110. In some embodiments, the housing 2110 may be integrally formed with the housing 120 of the atomizer 1000.

[0095] In some embodiments, the housing 2110 may also be connected to the end of the housing 120 near the base plate 110 by means of snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection or magnetic connection.

[0096] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the bracket 2200 can be disposed in the housing 2110, and the end of the bracket 2200 facing away from the atomizer 1000 can be connected to the inner wall of the housing 2110 facing the bracket 2200 by means of interference fit or snap-fit. In addition, the bracket 2200 can seal the end of the housing 2110 facing away from the atomizer 1000.

The power supply battery 2310 may be disposed in the first cavity 2210, and the second atomizing component 2400 may be installed in the second cavity 2220. The second atomizing component 2400 may be in the atomizing working position of the atomizing device and may operate in response to a suction action. In some embodiments, a second mounting hole 2230 may be provided at one end of the bracket 2200 away from the atomizer 1000, which is opposite to and communicates with the second cavity 2220. The second atomizing component 2400 may be installed in the second cavity 2220 of the bracket 2200 through the second mounting hole 2230. In an embodiment, the base 2120 may be connected to the side of the bracket 2200 away from the atomizer 1000 by means of screws or snap-fit, and may close the second mounting hole 2230. In addition, an air inlet 2121 may be provided on the base 2120, through which the second atomizing component 2400 can communicate with the external environment.

[0098] like Figures 11 to 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the main unit 2000 further includes a second seal 2500. The second seal 2500 can pass through the base plate 110. One end of the second seal 2500 can pass through the end of the bracket 2200 facing the atomizer 1000 and seal against the end of the second atomizing assembly 2400 away from the base 2120. The other end of the second seal 2500 can seal against the end of a first atomizing assembly 310 in the atomizing working position away from the end cap 130. In addition, a second through hole 2510 extending along the central axis L can be formed on the second seal 2500. One end of the second through hole 2510 can communicate with the end of the second atomizing assembly 2400 away from the air inlet 2121. The other end of the second through hole 2510 can communicate with the first atomizing assembly 310 in the atomizer 1000 in the atomizing working position.

[0099] When a user inhales, outside gas can enter the second atomizing component 2400 through the air inlet 2121. The aerosol generated by the second atomizing component 2400 can enter the first atomizing component 310 in the atomizing working position through the second through hole 2510 on the second seal 2500. Together with the aerosol generated by the first atomizing component 310, it can be transported to the mouthpiece 400 through the first through hole 6211 on the first seal 620 that communicates with the mouthpiece 400 for the user to inhale.

[0100] In some embodiments, the main unit 2000 may further include a circuit board 2320. The circuit board 2320 may be disposed on the side of the bracket 2200 facing the base plate 110, and the circuit board 2320 may be electrically connected to the power supply battery 2310 and the second atomizing assembly 2400, respectively.
