[0039] This application provides an atomizer 100, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizer 100 includes a liquid storage chamber 10, a mouthpiece 30, and a first sealing member 40. An atomizing core 110 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 10, which heats the atomizing matrix stored within the liquid storage chamber 10 to generate an aerosol. The mouthpiece 30 communicates with the liquid storage chamber 10. The first sealing member 40 is detachably mounted on the atomizer 100, and forms at least two sealing connections with the atomizer 100 along its length. The atomizer 100 is provided with an aerosol release outlet 103, with the two sealing connections distributed on both sides of the aerosol release outlet 103. The aerosol release outlet 103 of the atomizer 100 is prone to leakage. The leakage problem is highly related to the change in air pressure. In this application, two sealing connections are respectively set on both sides of the aerosol release outlet 103 to ensure that the leakage-prone position is not prone to air pressure changes, and even if a small amount of leakage occurs, it will not seep out of the atomizer 100, which greatly improves the sealing effect of the atomizer 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first seal 40 forms at least two sealing connections with the nozzle 30 or the reservoir 10 along its own length.

[0041] In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 10 is provided with an atomization channel 101, and the aerosol release outlet 103 includes the atomization channel 101. The atomization channel 101 penetrates through the liquid storage tank 10. The first sealing member 40 can form two sealed connections with the liquid storage tank 10. The two sealed connections are distributed at both ends of the liquid storage tank 10 to seal the sides of the atomization channel 101 and prevent the atomized matrix in the liquid storage tank 10 from leaking out of the liquid storage tank 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, the atomizer 100 further includes a flavor chamber 20, which includes at least one sub-flavor chamber 210 for generating flavor gas, and a mouthpiece 30 for communicating with the liquid storage chamber 10 and the at least one sub-flavor chamber 210. A first seal 40 forms at least two sealing connections with the flavor chamber 20 along its own length.

[0043] In some embodiments, the aerosol release outlet 103 includes a gas guiding channel 201, which is disposed in the flavor chamber 20. The first sealing member 40 can form two sealed connections with the flavor chamber 20. The two sealed connections are distributed at both ends of the gas guiding channel 201 to seal both sides of the gas guiding channel 201.

[0044] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 is located between the nozzle 30 and the liquid storage chamber 10, and the first seal 40 and the nozzle 30 are detachably connected. The first seal 40 can be inserted from the nozzle 30 into the air passage 201 to seal the air passage 201.

[0045] In some embodiments, the liquid storage chamber 10 is located between the mouthpiece 30 and the flavor chamber 20, and the first seal 40 and the flavor chamber 20 are detachably connected. The first seal 40 can be directly inserted into the air passage 201 of the flavor chamber 20 from the end of the atomizer 100 away from the mouthpiece 30.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first seal 40 is detachably connected to the mouthpiece 30, and the first seal 40 is used to seal the mouthpiece 30 and the sub-flavor chamber 210. When the atomizer 100 is in use, the first seal 40 can be removed from the mouthpiece 30, allowing the mouthpiece 30 to communicate with the sub-flavor chamber 210 and the liquid storage chamber 10, so that the aerosol generated in the liquid storage chamber 10 and the flavor gas formed in the sub-flavor chamber 210 can be discharged from the mouthpiece 30. During storage and transportation, the first seal 40 can be connected to the mouthpiece 30 to seal the mouthpiece 30 and the sub-flavor chamber 210, so that the flavor gas in the sub-flavor chamber 210 will not leak into the liquid storage chamber 10 during storage and transportation, thereby avoiding the aerosol generated in the liquid storage chamber 10 from causing a change in taste.

[0047] In some embodiments, a flavor element 220 is provided within the sub-flavor chamber 210, and the flavor element 220 is configured to volatilize and generate flavor gas. By providing a naturally volatile flavor element 220 within the sub-flavor chamber 210, the flavor gas is generated by volatilization from the interior or surface of the flavor element 220. This eliminates the need for complex heating or ultrasonic atomization systems, reducing the manufacturing cost of the atomizer 100, improving space utilization, and facilitating the miniaturization of the atomizer 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the flavoring element 220 can be solid, comprising a matrix and additives. The flavoring element 220 can form a flavor gel by adding additives to the matrix. The flavor gel has a small volume and is easily reshapeable, which can significantly reduce the design size of the flavor chamber 20 and contribute to the miniaturization of the atomizer 100. Specifically, the matrix material includes gelatin, agar, polyvinyl alcohol, or sodium polyacrylate, and the additive material includes fragrance, flavoring, or essential oil.

[0049] In some embodiments, flavoring component 220 further includes a thickener, also known as a gelling agent. A thickener can increase the viscosity of a system, maintaining it in a uniform and stable suspension or emulsion state, or forming a gel. Thickeners are mainly divided into two categories: natural and synthetic. Natural thickeners include cassava starch, carrageenan, pectin, guar gum, natural gum, agar powder, xanthan gum, etc. These thickeners are usually extracted from plants and seaweed and have good biodegradability and safety. Synthetic thickeners include carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyurethane thickeners, sodium polyacrylate, acrylic emulsions, polyferric sulfate, etc. These thickeners are prepared through chemical synthesis and have high stability and temperature resistance.

[0050] Specifically, the thickener used in flavoring component 220 is a food-grade thickener, and the thickener material includes sodium alginate, xanthan gum, or carrageenan.

[0051] In some embodiments, the flavoring component 220 includes a liquid storage component and a flavoring agent. The liquid storage component includes a storage cotton, and the flavoring component 220 can be formed by adding a flavoring agent to the storage cotton. The flavoring agent includes volatile alcohol-containing liquids, such as ethanol and isopropanol; volatile fragrances, such as vanilla extract and lemon oil; and organic solvents, such as acetone and ethyl acetate. Alcohol-containing liquids have low boiling points, making them easily volatile. For example, ethanol (alcohol) is a common volatile alcohol that evaporates rapidly at room temperature and has a certain alcoholic aroma. Organic solvents have low molecular weights and boiling points, which result in weak intermolecular interactions, making it easier for them to escape from the liquid surface, thus exhibiting high volatility.

[0052] Specifically, flavoring agents also include surfactants, such as lecithin, sorbitan monoester, polyoxyethylene (POE) alcohol esters, and vegetable oil-derived surfactants (coconut oil). Surfactants can alter the surface tension of a liquid, making it easier for molecules on the liquid surface to escape from the liquid interior, thus promoting evaporation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the flavor component 220 includes edible volatile flavor substances, which are compounds with low boiling points and high vapor pressures that are easily volatilized at room temperature and pressure and significantly contribute to the flavor of food. Edible volatile flavor substances include aldehydes, ketones, esters, alcohols, acids, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, and oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the atomizing core 110 is connected to the atomizing channel 101, the flavor chamber 20 is provided with an air guide channel 201, the atomizing channel 101 is connected to the mouthpiece 30 through the air guide channel 201, the sub-flavor chamber 210 is provided with a first opening 202 on the side facing the air guide channel 201, the first opening 202 is used to communicate with the air guide channel 201, and the first sealing member 40 is configured to be inserted into the air guide channel 201 and close the first opening 202.

[0055] In some embodiments, the atomizing core 110 is disposed inside the liquid storage chamber 10. In some other embodiments, the atomizing core 110 may also be disposed outside the liquid storage chamber 10, for example, the atomizing core 110 may be attached to the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 10.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the first seal 40 is inserted into the air channel 201, the first seal 40 covers the first opening 202, and the first seal 40 abuts against the side wall of the air channel 201, so that the sub-flavor chamber 210 and the air channel 201 are not connected, thereby sealing the sub-flavor chamber 210.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the atomizer 100 also includes an air guide tube 50. The atomization channel 101 is connected to the mouthpiece 30 through the air guide tube 50. The air guide tube 50 is inserted into the air guide channel 201. The side wall of the air guide tube 50 is provided with a connecting port 501. The first opening 202 can be connected to the air guide tube 50 through the connecting port 501. The first sealing member 40 is configured to be inserted into the air guide tube 50 and close the connecting port 501.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the first seal 40 is inserted into the air duct 50, the first seal 40 covers the communication port 501, and the first seal 40 abuts against the side wall of the air duct 50, so that the communication port 501 is closed by the first seal 40, and the sub-flavor chamber 210 and the air duct 50 are not connected.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the first sealing element 40 includes a first sub-sealing element 410, and a second sub-sealing element 420 and a third sub-sealing element 430 disposed on the first sub-sealing element 410. The first sub-sealing element 410 is configured to be inserted into the air duct 50 and close the suction nozzle 30. When the first sub-sealing element 410 is inserted into the air duct 50, the second sub-sealing element 420 is sealed between the first sub-sealing element 410 and the air duct 50 to form a first sealing connection, and the third sub-sealing element 430 is sealed between the first sub-sealing element 410 and the air duct 50 to form a second sealing connection. The communication port 501 is located between the second sub-sealing element 420 and the third sub-sealing element 430. The second sub-seal 420 disconnects the upper end of the connecting port 501 and the air duct 50, preventing the sub-flavor chamber 210 from connecting with the mouthpiece 30 through the air duct 50. This prevents flavor gases volatilized in the sub-flavor chamber 210 from flowing out of the mouthpiece 30 and forming condensate on the outer surface of the atomizer 100 during storage and transportation. The third sub-seal 430 disconnects the lower end of the connecting port 501 and the air duct 50, preventing the sub-flavor chamber 210 from connecting with the atomization channel 101 through the air duct 50. This prevents flavor gases volatilized in the sub-flavor chamber 210 from entering the liquid storage chamber 10 and condensing on the liquid storage component 120 inside the liquid storage chamber 10 during storage and transportation, thus preventing the aerosol generated by the heating of the atomizing core 110 from causing a mixed taste.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first sub-seal 410 may be generally rod-shaped, and the second sub-seal 420 and the third sub-seal 430 are respectively arranged around the first sub-seal 410. The shape of the first seal 40 may be adapted to the shape of the air guide tube 50, such that when the first seal 40 is inserted into the air guide tube 50, the second sub-seal 420 and the third sub-seal 430 abut against the first sub-seal 410 and the air guide tube 50.

[0061] Specifically, the first sub-seal 410 can be made of rigid plastic or metal, for example, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, etc. The second sub-seal 420 and the third sub-seal 430 can be made of elastic rubber or plastic, specifically, silicone. The second sub-seal 420 and the third sub-seal 430 can also be sealing rings.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first seal 40 can be an integral structure, and the second sub-seal 420 and the third sub-seal 430 can be ribs formed on the first sub-seal 410. The first seal 40 can be integrally injection molded, and the material of the first seal 40 can be rigid plastic or metal, or it can be elastic rubber or plastic, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the first sealing element 40 includes a first sub-sealing element 410 and a connector 440. The connector 440 includes a first sealing portion 441, a second sealing portion 442, a third sealing portion 443, and a connecting portion 444. The first sealing portion 441 and the second sealing portion 442, as well as the second sealing portion 442 and the third sealing portion 443, are connected by the connecting portion 444. The first sealing portion 441, the second sealing portion 442, and the third sealing portion 443 are all arranged around the first sub-sealing element 410. When the first sealing element 40 is inserted into the air guide tube 50, the first sealing portion 441 seals the nozzle 30, and the second sealing portion 442 and the third sealing portion 443 are both sealed and connected between the first sub-sealing element 410 and the air guide tube 50. The connecting port 501 is located between the second sealing portion 442 and the third sealing portion 443.

[0064] In some embodiments, the connector 440 can be an integral structure, and the connector 440 can be integrally injection molded. By providing an integral structure connector 440, the connection between the connector 440 and the first sub-seal 410 is tighter, so as to prevent the connector 440 and the first sub-seal 410 from separating during the insertion and removal of the first seal 40 from the air duct 50.

[0065] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 is located between the nozzle 30 and the liquid storage chamber 10. The number of sub-flavor chambers 210 can be one, and correspondingly, the number of first openings 202 is also one. The position of the connecting port 501 of the air guide tube 50 corresponds to the position of the first opening 202. The flavor gas in the sub-flavor chamber 210 can enter the air guide tube 50 through the first opening 202 and the connecting port 501. The aerosol formed in the liquid storage chamber 10 can enter the air guide tube 50 and mix with the flavor gas to form an aerosol with a mixed flavor.

[0066] In some embodiments, there are multiple sub-flavor chambers 210, for example, the number of sub-flavor chambers 210 can be 2, 4, 5, 7, etc. Multiple sub-flavor chambers 210 are arranged around the air guide channel 201, and the nozzle 30 can drive the air guide tube 50 to rotate relative to the sub-flavor chambers 210, so that the connecting port 501 is connected to the first opening 202 of one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210.

[0067] Specifically, there can be two sub-flavor chambers 210, which are distributed on both sides of the air guide channel 201.

[0068] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 can be fixed relative to the liquid storage chamber 10, and the nozzle 30 can be switched to a position communicating with different sub-flavor chambers 210 by rotating the nozzle 30. The flavor components 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210 have different compositions, allowing different sub-flavor chambers 210 to produce different flavor gases. This allows the user to experience aerosols with different flavors when the nozzle 30 is connected to different sub-flavor chambers 210, enhancing the user experience. In other embodiments, the flavor components 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210 may have the same composition but different concentrations, resulting in different evaporation rates and allowing the user to experience aerosols with varying flavor intensities.

[0069] In some embodiments, the number of connecting ports 501 opened in the air duct 50 can be one, the height of the connecting port 501 and the first opening 202 are corresponding, and the lengths of the connecting port 501 and the first opening 202 can be approximately the same.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the shape of the air guide tube 50 is adapted to the shape of the air guide channel 201. When the nozzle 30 drives the air guide tube 50 to rotate relative to the flavor chamber 20, the connecting port 501 of the air guide tube 50 rotates relative to the first opening 202 of the sub-flavor chamber 210. When the connecting port 501 is connected to the first opening 202 of one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210, the side wall of the air guide tube 50 can cover the first opening 202 of the remaining sub-flavor chambers 210, so that only one sub-flavor chamber 210 is connected to the air guide tube 50, and the remaining sub-flavor chambers 210 are in a closed state.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the sidewalls of the air duct 50 and the air channel 201 are press-fitted, so that a slight press-fit seal is formed between the sidewalls of the air duct 50 and the air channel 201, without generating a large resistance to the rotation of the air duct 50, so as to prevent the flavor gas in the sub-flavor chamber 210 from leaking from the connection gap between the sidewalls of the air duct 50 and the air channel 201.

[0072] In some embodiments, a second sealing member 60 is provided between the end of the air guide tube 50 away from the nozzle 30 and the side wall of the air guide channel 201. The air guide tube 50 includes a main body 510 and a bent portion 520. The main body 510 is inserted into the air guide channel 201, and the bent portion 520 is connected to the end of the main body 510 away from the nozzle 30 and extends radially along the main body 510. The second sealing member 60 is located on the side of the bent portion 520 near the nozzle 30.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second seal 60 is disposed around the main body 510, and a receiving groove 204 is formed between the end of the flavor chamber 20 away from the mouthpiece 30 and the main body 510, the receiving groove 204 being used to receive the second seal 60. The bent portion 520 covers the receiving groove 204 to prevent the second seal 60 from falling off during the rotation of the air guide tube 50.

[0074] In some implementations, the second seal 60 can be made of elastic rubber or plastic, specifically silicone. The second seal 60 can also be a sealing ring.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing core 110 is provided with an atomizing tube 111, and an atomizing channel 101 is formed inside the atomizing tube 111. A liquid storage component 120 is provided between the atomizing tube 111 and the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 10. The liquid storage component 120 is used to store the atomizing matrix. A heating element and a liquid guiding element are provided inside the atomizing tube 111. The liquid guiding element is wrapped around the heating element and is connected to the liquid storage component 120 through a through hole in the atomizing tube 111 to guide the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage component 120 to the heating element. The atomizing matrix is ​​heated and atomized by the heating element to form an aerosol. The liquid guiding element can be oil-absorbing cotton; the heating element can be a heating wire or heating mesh made of materials such as iron-chromium-aluminum, stainless steel, or nickel-chromium alloy; the liquid storage component 120 can be oil-absorbing cotton, and its material can include flax cotton and oil-impregnated cotton. By setting a second sealing element 60, the sealing of the connection between the flavor chamber 20 and the gas guide pipe 50 can be enhanced, so as to prevent the flavor gas in the sub-flavor chamber 210 from entering the liquid storage chamber 10 and condensing on the liquid storage element 120.

[0076] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 and the liquid storage chamber 10 are an integral structure. The flavor chamber 20 and the liquid storage chamber 10 can be integrally injection molded, so that there are no gaps between the liquid storage chamber 10 and the flavor chamber 20, which greatly reduces the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix. At the same time, the connection between the liquid storage chamber 10 and the flavor chamber 20 is tighter, which can make full use of the internal space of the atomizer 100, improve the space utilization of the atomizer 100, and is conducive to the miniaturization of the atomizer 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a sealing member 70 is provided between the mouthpiece 30 and the flavor chamber 20. The sub-flavor chamber 210 has a second opening 203 at one end near the mouthpiece 30. The sealing member 70 blocks the second opening 203. The mouthpiece 30 is provided with an air outlet pipe 310 that communicates with the outside. A third sealing member 80 is sealed between the air outlet pipe 310 and the sealing member 70.

[0078] In some embodiments, an interference seal is provided between the cap 70 and the flavor chamber 20 to prevent flavor gases from leaking from the connection point between the cap 70 and the flavor chamber 20.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the cover 70 is provided with a connecting hole 701, the gas guide tube 50 passes through the connecting hole 701 and is inserted into the gas outlet tube 310, and the third sealing member 80 is sealed between the gas outlet tube 310 and the cover 70, which can prevent the flavor gas in the sub-flavor chamber 210 from leaking from the connection gap between the cover 70 and the gas guide tube 50, as well as the connection gap between the cover 70 and the gas outlet tube 310.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cap 70 has a protrusion 710 on the side opposite to the flavor chamber 20, the protrusion 710 surrounding the air outlet pipe 310, and a third seal 80 covering the protrusion 710, at least partially sealing the connection between the protrusion 710 and the air outlet pipe 310. The protrusion 710 can position the third seal 80 and allow the third seal 80 to abut against the protrusion 710 and the air outlet pipe 310 in the radial direction of the air outlet pipe 310, thereby maintaining the sealing connection between the cap 70 and the air outlet pipe 310 during the rotation of the nozzle 30 and improving the sealing effect.

[0081] In some embodiments, the cover 70 is at least partially inserted into the second opening 203, and the third seal 80 is disposed in the radial direction of the vent pipe 310, but not in the axial direction of the vent pipe 310. This can reduce the force on the cover 70 in the axial direction of the vent pipe 310 and prevent the cover 70 from being pressed down by the third seal 80 and moving.

[0082] Specifically, the material of the third seal 80 can be elastic rubber or plastic, for example, the material of the second seal 60 can be silicone.

[0083] In some embodiments, the air duct 50 and the nozzle 30 are fixedly connected, and the bent portion 520 can form a snap-fit ​​with the end of the flavor chamber 20 away from the nozzle 30 to limit the displacement of the nozzle 30 in the axial direction of the air duct 50.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the atomizer 100 has an air inlet 102 at the end away from the mouthpiece 30. The air inlet 102 is connected to the atomization channel 101, and external air can enter the atomization channel 101 through the air inlet 102. The atomizer 100 also includes a fourth seal 90, which is used to block the air inlet 102.

[0085] In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 10 has a base 130 at the end away from the nozzle 30, and an air inlet 102 is formed on the base 130. The fourth seal 90 and the base 130 are detachably connected. When the fourth seal 90 and the base 130 are connected, the fourth seal 90 is at least partially inserted into the air inlet 102 and is press-fitted with the side wall of the air inlet 102 to block the air inlet 102.

[0086] Specifically, during the storage and transportation of the atomizer 100, the fourth seal 90 can block the air inlet 102 to prevent gases or liquids such as atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 10 and flavor gas in the flavor chamber 20 from flowing out of the air inlet 102. When using the atomizer 100, the fourth seal 90 can be removed to allow outside air to enter the atomizer 100.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the nozzle 30 is provided with a connecting groove 301, and the flavor chamber 20 is at least partially inserted into the connecting groove 301. The outer wall of the flavor chamber 20 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part 230, and the inner wall of the connecting groove 301 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part 320. When the nozzle 30 is connected to one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210, the first snap-fit ​​part 230 and the second snap-fit ​​part 320 form a snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0088] Specifically, the first engaging portion 230 can be a protrusion on the outer wall of the flavor chamber 20, and the second engaging portion 320 can be a groove. There can be one first engaging portion 230 and multiple second engaging portions 320, each corresponding to a different sub-flavor chamber 210. In some other embodiments, the first engaging portion 230 can also be a groove, in which case the second engaging portion 320 can be a protrusion. There can be one or more first engaging portions 230 and one or more second engaging portions 320, as long as the first engaging portion 230 and the second engaging portion 320 form an engaging engagement when the nozzle 30 is connected to any one of the sub-flavor chambers 210.

[0089] In some implementations, when the atomizer 100 is not in use, the connection port 501 of the air duct 50 can be rotated to a position where it is not connected to the sub-flavor chamber 210. The side wall of the air duct 50 covers the first opening 202 of all sub-flavor chambers 210, so that all sub-flavor chambers 210 form a sealed space. The flavor gas volatilized from the flavor component 220 in the sub-flavor chamber 210 cannot overflow the sub-flavor chamber 210, so as to reduce the volatilization of the flavor component 220 during transportation and storage and improve the service life of the atomizer 100.

[0090] In some embodiments, when the connection port 501 is not connected to any of the sub-flavor chambers 210, the first locking part 230 and the second locking part 320 form a locking engagement to ensure that the relative position of the air guide tube 50 and the sub-flavor chamber 210 is limited during transportation, so that the sub-flavor chamber 210 is not connected to the air guide tube 50.

[0091] This application also provides an atomizing device, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the device includes a power supply component 200 and an atomizer 100 as described in the above embodiment. The power supply component 200 is connected to the end of the liquid storage tank 10 away from the mouthpiece 30 and is used to supply power to the atomizer 100.

[0092] Specifically, during storage and transportation, the first seal 40 is inserted into the mouthpiece 30 and the fourth seal 90 is sealed in the air inlet 102, so that the internal space of the atomizer 100 is not connected to the outside. When the atomizer 100 is used, the fourth seal 90 can be removed to electrically connect the atomizer 100 and the power supply component 200, so that the atomizer 100 is connected to the outside airflow through the power supply component 200, and the first seal 40 can be removed. The user can then experience the aerosol mixed with flavored gas through the mouthpiece 30.

[0093] The atomizer 100 and atomizing device provided in this application have the following features: the atomizer 100 seals the aerosol release outlet 103 with a first sealing element 40, preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix through the aerosol release outlet 103 during storage and transportation; the atomizer 100 seals the sub-flavor chamber 210 with the first sealing element 40, preventing the flavor gas in the sub-flavor chamber 210 from leaking into the liquid storage chamber 10 during storage and transportation, thus avoiding a mixed taste; and the atomizer 100 is sealed at both ends with a second sealing element 60 and a third sealing element 80, ensuring the sealing of the connection between the flavor chamber 20 and the air guide tube 50 and the mouthpiece 30, preventing the volatile flavor gas from forming condensate on the outer surface of the atomizer 100, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the atomizer 100 during storage and transportation, and improving the user experience.

[0094] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of this application.
