[0050] This application provides a flavor component 200 for an atomizing device, such as... Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 16As shown, the atomizing device has an air inlet 301. The flavor component 200 includes a mouthpiece 30 and a flavor chamber 20. The mouthpiece 30 has a mounting groove 306 and an air outlet channel 304 communicating with the outside. The flavor chamber 20 is installed in the mounting groove 306 and includes at least one sub-flavor chamber 210. The sub-flavor chamber 210 contains a flavor element 220, which is configured to volatilize and generate flavor gas. The air outlet channel 304 communicates with at least one sub-flavor chamber 210. The flavor component 200 is configured such that when assembled with the atomizing device, the air outlet channel 304 and the air inlet 301 are in airflow communication. The flavor component 200 utilizes the volatilization of the flavor element to generate flavor gas, which mixes with the aerosol formed by the atomizing device and is discharged from the air outlet channel 304. This allows the user to experience an aerosol with a mixed flavor effect, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. Meanwhile, the flavor chamber 20 is equipped with a flavor component 220 that can evaporate naturally. The flavor gas is generated by evaporation from the inside or surface of the flavor component 220. There is no need to set up a complex heating or ultrasonic atomization system, which makes the manufacturing cost of the flavor component 200 lower and the space occupied smaller. This helps to improve space utilization, reduce user costs, and contribute to the miniaturization of the atomization device, making the atomization device lighter and more convenient.

[0051] In some embodiments, the air inlet 301 is located on the bottom wall of the atomizing device away from the nozzle 30, allowing outside air to enter from the bottom of the atomizing device and exit from the air outlet 304. In some other embodiments, the air inlet 301 may also be located at other positions on the atomizing device, for example, on the side wall of the atomizing device.

[0052] In some embodiments, the flavoring component 220 can be solid, comprising a first matrix and an additive. The flavoring component 220 can form a flavor gel by adding the additive to the first 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 atomizing device. Specifically, the material of the first matrix includes gelatin, agar, polyvinyl alcohol, or sodium polyacrylate, and the material of the additive includes fragrance, flavoring, or essential oil.

[0053] 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.

[0054] Specifically, the thickener used in flavoring component 220 is a food-grade thickener, and the thickener material includes sodium alginate, xanthan gum, or carrageenan.

[0055] In some embodiments, the flavoring component 220 includes a liquid reservoir and a flavoring agent. The liquid reservoir includes a reservoir cotton, and the flavoring component 220 can be formed by adding a flavoring agent to the reservoir cotton. The flavoring agent includes volatile alcohol-containing liquids, such as ethanol and isopropanol; 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] In some embodiments, there is one sub-flavor chamber 210, which is provided with a flavor air passage 202. The atomization channel 101 of the atomizing device is connected to the air outlet channel 304 through the flavor air passage 202. Users can experience different flavors by changing the flavor chamber 20. The flavor chamber 20 has a low manufacturing cost, which can reduce the cost for users to change the flavor chamber 20 and reduce the user's usage cost.

[0059] 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. The nozzle 30 can rotate relative to the flavor chamber 20 so that the air outlet channel 304 is connected to one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210. By rotating the nozzle 30, different sub-flavor chambers 210 and air outlet channels 304 can be switched.

[0060] In some embodiments, the flavor components 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210 have different compositions, enabling different sub-flavor chambers 210 to generate different flavor gases. When the gas outlet channel 304 is connected to different sub-flavor chambers 210, the user can experience aerosols with different flavors, 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 volatilization rates of the flavor components 220 in different sub-flavor chambers 210, allowing the user to experience aerosols with different flavor intensities.

[0061] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 is provided with an air guide channel 201, and the air outlet channel 304 is connected to the atomization channel 101 through the air guide channel 201. Multiple sub-flavor chambers 210 are arranged around the air guide channel 201.

[0062] Specifically, there can be four sub-flavor chambers 210, which are evenly distributed around the air guide channel 201.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air outlet channel 304 is provided with an air guide port 305 at one end near the flavor chamber 20. The length direction of the air guide port 305 extends radially along the flavor chamber 20, and the air guide port 305 is connected to one of the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 and the air guide channel 201.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the flavor chamber 20 includes a first sealing member 230 disposed downstream of the flavor component 200 in the air outlet direction. The flavor chamber 20 includes a first end 280 disposed near the air outlet channel 304. The first end 280 has an opening communicating with the sub-flavor chamber 210. The first sealing member 230 seals the opening of the first end 280.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first sealing member 230 is provided with a first through hole 2301 and a plurality of second through holes 2302. The first through hole 2301 is connected to the air guide channel 201, and the second through holes 2302 are connected to the sub-flavor chamber 210. The plurality of second through holes 2302 and the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 correspond one-to-one. The nozzle 30 includes a cover 330 and a second sealing member 320. The second sealing member 320 is sealed between the first sealing member 230 and the cover 330.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second seal 320 is provided with an air passage selection structure 323, which is used to connect different second through holes 2302 and air outlet passages 304 when the first seal 230 and the second seal 320 rotate relative to each other.

[0067] In some embodiments, the airway selection structure 323 includes an air inlet 305, which is disposed on the side of the second seal 320 near the first seal 230. The air inlet 305 is used to communicate with at least one second through hole 2302 and a first through hole 2301. When the second seal 320 rotates relative to the first seal 230, the air inlet 305 communicates with different second through holes 2302 respectively.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the air inlet 305 can be connected to multiple second through holes 2302 at the same time, so that the flavor gases formed by multiple sub-flavor chambers 210 can be discharged from the mouthpiece 30 at the same time to provide a richer flavor.

[0069] In some embodiments, the airway selection structure 323 includes a protrusion 321 disposed on the side of the second seal 320 near the first seal 230. When the second seal 320 rotates relative to the first seal 230, the protrusion 321 can close at least one second through hole 2302. It is understood that the protrusion 321 closes at least one second through hole 2302 when the second seal 320 rotates relative to the first seal 230 to a certain position, rather than closing the second through hole 2302 whenever the second seal 320 rotates to any position.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the air inlet 305 is connected to one of the plurality of second through holes 2302, the protrusion 321 blocks the remaining second through holes 2302, so that only one of the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210 is connected to the air outlet channel 304.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second seal 320 is provided with a rib 322 on the side near the first seal 230. The rib 322 surrounds the air inlet 305 and abuts against the first seal 230 to ensure a sealed connection between the first seal 230 and the second seal 320.

[0072] In some embodiments, the nozzle 30 can be rotated to a closed position so that all the second through holes 2302 are closed by the second seal 320, thereby reducing the evaporation rate of the flavor component 220 in the flavor chamber 20 during the transport and storage of the flavor component 200.

[0073] In some embodiments, one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210 may be empty, without the flavor element 220. The nozzle 30 can be rotated to a position where the air outlet channel 304 communicates with the hollow sub-flavor chamber 210, so that the aerosol generated by the atomization channel 101 does not mix with flavor gas, allowing the user to experience the original flavor aerosol. Simultaneously, during the transportation and storage of the flavor component 200, other sub-flavor chambers 210 with flavor elements 220 can be kept out of communication with the air outlet channel 304 to reduce the evaporation rate of the flavor element 220.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the flavor chamber 20 includes a second end 290 located away from the air outlet channel 304. The second end 290 is provided with a first sliding part 291, and the side wall of the mounting groove 306 is provided with a second sliding part 370. The first sliding part 291 and the second sliding part 370 are slidably connected, and the first sliding part 291 and the second sliding part 370 form a snap-fit ​​engagement in the direction of the rotation axis L of the nozzle 30.

[0075] Specifically, the first sliding part 291 is a convex ring provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second end 290 and surrounding the second end 290. The mounting groove 306 is formed in the cover 330. The second sliding part 370 is a groove extending circumferentially along the cover 330. The first sliding part 291 is inserted into the second sliding part 370. When the nozzle 30 rotates relative to the flavor chamber 20, the first sliding part 291 can slide within the second sliding part 370, but cannot disengage from the second sliding part 370, so that the flavor chamber 20 and the nozzle 30 will not separate during rotation.

[0076] In some other embodiments, the first sliding portion 291 may be a groove extending circumferentially along the second end portion 290, and the second sliding portion 370 may be a protruding ring provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 306, with the second sliding portion 370 inserted into the first sliding portion 291.

[0077] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 and the mouthpiece 30 are detachably connected. After the flavor component 220 within the flavor chamber 20 has evaporated, the lifespan of the flavor component 200 can be extended and wear reduced by replacing the flavor chamber 20. Users can also experience a wider variety of flavor gases by replacing different flavor chambers 20.

[0078] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 and the first seal 230 are detachably connected. When the flavor chamber 20 and the nozzle 30 are separated, the first seal 230 can be removed from the flavor chamber 20, and the flavor component 220 can be inserted into the sub-flavor chamber 210 through the opening at the first end 280. In some embodiments, the opening at the first end 280 can also be used to replenish flavoring agent to the sub-flavor chamber 210.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cover 330 and the flavor chamber 20 can be made of plastic or metal materials with certain elastic deformation properties. For example, the cover 330 and the flavor chamber 20 can be made of polyurethane, ABS plastic, and polycarbonate. The cover 330 and the flavor chamber 20 can be detachably connected by a snap-fit. By applying external force to the cover 330 and the flavor chamber 20, they can undergo slight deformation, allowing the first sliding part 291 to disengage from the second sliding part 370, thereby separating the flavor chamber 20 from the mouthpiece 30.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first seal 230 may be made of elastic rubber or plastic, specifically, the first seal 230 may be made of silicone.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second end 290 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 294, and the side wall of the mounting groove 306 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 380. When the air outlet channel 304 is connected to one of the plurality of sub-flavor chambers 210, the first snap-fit ​​portion 294 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 380 form a snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0082] Specifically, the first engaging portion 294 can be a protrusion on the outer wall of the flavor chamber 20, and the second engaging portion 380 can be a groove. There can be one first engaging portion 294 and multiple second engaging portions 380, each corresponding to a different sub-flavor chamber 210. In some other embodiments, the first engaging portion 294 can also be a groove, in which case the second engaging portion 380 can be a protrusion. The number of first engaging portions 294 and second engaging portions 380 can also be one or more, as long as the first engaging portion 294 and the second engaging portion 380 form a snap-fit ​​engagement when the air outlet channel 304 is connected to any one of the sub-flavor chambers 210.

[0083] This application also provides an atomizer 100, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the atomizer 100 includes the flavor component 200 of the above embodiment. The atomizer 100 also includes a liquid storage chamber 10. The liquid storage chamber 10 is connected to the flavor chamber 20 and the air outlet channel 304. The liquid storage chamber 10 is used to store the atomizing matrix. An atomizing core 110 is provided in the liquid storage chamber 10. The atomizing core 110 is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate aerosol.

[0084] In some embodiments, the atomizing core 110 is provided with an atomizing channel 101, the flavor chamber 20 is provided with an air guiding channel 201, the air outlet channel 304 is connected to the atomizing channel 101 through the air guiding channel 201, the sub-flavor chamber 210 is provided with a flavor air passage 202, and the air outlet channel 304 is connected to the atomizing channel 101 through the flavor air passage 202.

[0085] In some embodiments, the flavor air passage 202 is disposed on the flavor component 220. Part of the airflow from the atomizing channel 101 to the flavor chamber 20 flows directly along the air guide channel 201 to the air outlet channel 304, while the other part can enter the flavor air passage 202, driving the flavor gas volatilized from the flavor component 220 to flow along the flavor air passage 202 to the air outlet channel 304, so that the mouthpiece 30 can discharge an aerosol with a mixed flavor effect.

[0086] In some other embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 may not have an air guide channel 201, and multiple sub-flavor chambers 210 may be distributed around the rotation axis L. The atomization channel 101 can only be connected to the air outlet channel 304 through the flavor air channel 202.

[0087] In some other embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 is provided with an air guiding channel 201, the sub-flavor chamber 210 is not provided with a flavor air channel 202, and the atomization channel 101 can only be connected to the outlet channel 304 through the air guiding channel 201. The flavor gas volatilized in the sub-flavor chamber 210 is mixed with the aerosol formed by the atomization channel 101 at the outlet channel 304.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the liquid storage chamber 10 includes a third end 140 located near the flavor chamber 20. The second end 290 and the third end 140 are detachably connected, and the second end 290 and the third end 140 form a snap-fit ​​engagement in the circumferential direction of the liquid storage chamber 10. The second end 290 and the third end 140 cannot rotate relative to each other. When the nozzle 30 rotates under the action of external force, the flavor chamber 20 can be restricted by the liquid storage chamber 10, so that the nozzle 30 and the flavor chamber 20 can rotate relative to each other.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second end portion 290 is provided with a first groove 2901 and a second groove 2902. The bottom wall of the first groove 2901 is provided with a first connecting hole 2903 communicating with the air guide channel 201, and the bottom wall of the second groove 2902 is provided with a second connecting hole 2904 communicating with the flavor air channel 202. The third end portion 140 is provided with a first connecting portion 141 and a second connecting portion 142. When the flavor chamber 20 and the liquid storage chamber 10 are connected, the first connecting portion 141 is inserted into the first groove 2901, and the second connecting portion 142 is inserted into the second groove 2902. The first connecting portion 141 is provided with a third connecting hole 1401 communicating with the first connecting hole 2903, and the second connecting portion 142 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 1402 communicating with the second connecting hole 2904. The atomizing channel 101 is connected to the third connecting hole 1401 and the fourth connecting hole 1402.

[0090] Specifically, the flavor component 200 and the liquid storage tank 10 are detachably connected. The insertion structure between the first connecting part 141 and the first groove 2901, and between the second connecting part 142 and the second groove 2902, facilitates the alignment of the first connecting hole 2903 with the third connecting hole 1401 and the second connecting hole 2904 with the fourth connecting hole 1402 when the flavor component 200 and the liquid storage tank 10 are connected, so as to ensure that the airflow in the liquid storage tank 10 can flow smoothly to the flavor tank 20.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 141 abuts against the bottom wall of the first groove 2901, and the second connecting portion 142 abuts against the bottom wall of the second groove 2902, so as to prevent airflow from leaking from the connection gap between the two when the airflow flows from the liquid storage chamber 10 to the flavor chamber 20.

[0092] In some other embodiments, the first groove 2901 and the second groove 2902 may also be provided at the third end 140, in which case the first connecting portion 141 and the second connecting portion 142 are provided at the second end 290.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the flavor chamber 20 is provided with a connecting pipe 211, which extends from the edge of the first connecting hole 2903 toward the air outlet channel 304. The air guide channel 201 is located inside the connecting pipe 211. Multiple partitions 212 are connected between the side wall of the flavor chamber 20 and the connecting pipe 211. Adjacent sub-flavor chambers 210 along the circumferential direction of the flavor chamber 20 are separated by partitions 212.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flavor component 200 includes a connector 295 for connecting and holding the flavor component 200 on the atomizing device.

[0095] In some embodiments, the connector 295 is disposed on the upstream end face of the flavor component 200 in the air outlet direction.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the connector 295 is located at the second end 290 facing the liquid storage tank 10. The connector 295 includes a positioning post 292, and a positioning hole 1403 is provided at the third end 140 facing the flavor tank 20. When the flavor tank 20 and the liquid storage tank 10 are connected, the positioning post 292 is inserted into the positioning hole 1403. The positioning post 292 and the positioning hole 1403 can play a positioning role when the flavor tank 20 and the liquid storage tank 10 are connected, and can also limit the relative rotation between the flavor tank 20 and the liquid storage tank 10. In some other embodiments, the positioning post 292 can also be located at the third end 140, and the positioning hole 1403 can also be located at the second end 290.

[0097] In some embodiments, the connector 295 further includes a first latching portion 293 disposed at the second end 290 and a second latching portion 143 disposed at the third end 140. When the flavor chamber 20 and the liquid storage chamber 10 are connected, the first latching portion 293 and the second latching portion 143 form a latching engagement in the direction of the rotation axis L of the nozzle 30, so that the liquid storage chamber 10 and the flavor component 200 will not easily separate.

[0098] Specifically, the first latching part 293 is a hook protruding from the second end 290 near the third end 140, and the second latching part 143 is a fastener located on the side of the third end 140. The liquid storage tank 10 and the flavor tank 20 can be made of plastic or metal with certain elastic deformation properties. For example, the liquid storage tank 10 and the flavor tank 20 can be made of polyurethane, ABS plastic, and polycarbonate. The liquid storage tank 10 and the flavor tank 20 can be detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​engagement. By applying external force to the first latching part 293 and the second latching part 143, slight deformation can occur in both, allowing the first latching part 293 to detach from the second latching part 143, thereby separating the flavor tank 20 from the liquid storage tank 10.

[0099] In some embodiments, the flavor chamber 20 and the liquid storage chamber 10 can also be detachably connected by means of magnetic attraction, riveting, etc.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the third end 140 is provided with a flow divider 1404 on the side facing the atomizing core 110. The third connecting hole 1401 and the fourth connecting hole 1402 are opened on the bottom wall of the flow divider 1404, and both the third connecting hole 1401 and the fourth connecting hole 1402 are connected to the flow divider 1404. The atomizing channel 101 is connected to the flow divider 1404 and the third connecting hole 1401 and the fourth connecting hole 1402.

[0101] In some embodiments, 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.

[0102] In some embodiments, the atomizing tube 111 is at least partially inserted into the diversion groove 1404, so that the airflow from the atomizing tube 111 can flow fully into the diversion groove 1404.

[0103] In some embodiments, the liquid storage chamber 10 includes a fourth end 150 disposed away from the flavor chamber 20. The fourth end 150 has an opening, through which the atomizing core 110 and the liquid storage component 120 can be inserted into the liquid storage chamber 10.

[0104] In some embodiments, the fourth end 150 is provided with a third seal 160, which is used to block the opening of the fourth end 150.

[0105] In some embodiments, the flavor component 200 and the liquid reservoir 10 are detachably connected. The atomizer 100 also includes a mouthpiece assembly 400, which is detachably connected to the liquid reservoir 10. The liquid reservoir 10 is configured to connect the flavor component 200 and the mouthpiece assembly 400 respectively. The mouthpiece assembly 400 is provided with a first air outlet channel 401. When the mouthpiece assembly 400 is configured to connect with the liquid reservoir 10, the first air outlet channel 401 communicates with the liquid reservoir 10.

[0106] Specifically, the mouthpiece assembly 400 does not have a flavor chamber 20. Users can connect the flavor assembly 200 and the liquid storage chamber 10 to experience the taste of an aerosol mixed with flavored gases, or users can replace the flavor assembly 200 with the mouthpiece assembly 400 to experience the original flavor of the aerosol. The interchangeable setting of the flavor assembly 200 and the mouthpiece assembly 400 can greatly improve the user experience.

[0107] This application also provides an atomizing device, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the atomizing device includes the atomizer 100 of the above embodiment. The atomizing device also includes a power supply component 40, which is located at the end of the liquid storage chamber 10 away from the flavor chamber 20. The power supply component 40 and the atomizer 100 are electrically connected.

[0108] This application embodiment also provides an atomizing device, such as... Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the atomizing device includes the flavor component 200 of the above embodiment and a main unit 300. The flavor component 200 and the main unit 300 are detachably connected. The main unit 300 includes a liquid storage chamber 10 and a power supply component 40 of the above embodiment. The liquid storage chamber 10 is connected to the air outlet channel 304 through the flavor chamber 20. The liquid storage chamber 10 is used to store the atomizing matrix. An atomizing core 110 is provided inside the liquid storage chamber 10. The atomizing core 110 is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate aerosol. The power supply component 40 is electrically connected to the atomizing core 110. The detachable connection between the flavor component 200 and the main unit 300 allows users to easily replace the flavor component 200. Users can choose the corresponding flavor according to their personal preferences, which helps to improve the product's cost-effectiveness and provide users with a richer taste experience.

[0109] In some embodiments, the flavor component 200 and the main unit 300 are detachably connected by means of fastening, magnetic attraction, riveting, etc.

[0110] In some implementations, the nozzle 30 can be rotated relative to the main unit 300 to communicate the exhaust channel 304 with one of the multiple sub-flavor chambers 210 and the liquid storage chamber 10.

[0111] In some embodiments, the host 300 further includes a housing 50, a liquid reservoir 10, and a power supply assembly 40 housed within the housing 50.

[0112] In some embodiments, the flavor component 200 is detachably connected to the main unit 300 via a detachable connection to the liquid storage tank 10. In some other embodiments, the second latch 143 may also be provided on the housing 50, and the flavor component 200 is detachably connected to the main unit 300 via a detachable connection to the housing 50.

[0113] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 40 includes a battery cell 410, which is electrically connected to the atomizing core 110.

[0114] In some embodiments, the power supply component 40, the liquid storage chamber 10, the flavor chamber 20, and the nozzle 30 are stacked sequentially along the extension direction of the atomization channel 101. The liquid storage chamber 10, the flavor chamber 20, and the power supply component 40 are located within the space formed by the outer shell 50 and the cover 330, which makes the atomization device structural design compact and helps to improve space utilization. At the same time, the shape of the atomization device is long and thin, which can enhance the aesthetics of the atomization device and make it easy for users to hold and use.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the atomizing device includes a mouthpiece assembly 400 and a main unit 300, which are detachably connected. The mouthpiece assembly 400 includes a mouthpiece 30 and a shielding member 90, which is located between the mouthpiece 30 and the liquid reservoir 10. Unlike the flavor component 200, the mouthpiece assembly 400 does not have a flavor reservoir 20 between the mouthpiece 30 and the liquid reservoir 10; the mouthpiece 30 is directly connected to the liquid reservoir 10 to expel the original flavor aerosol. Users can replace the mouthpiece assembly 400 or the flavor component 200 with the main unit 300. For example, a standard version of the atomizing device can be a combination of the mouthpiece assembly 400 and the main unit 300 to allow users to experience the original flavor aerosol, while a flavored version can be a combination of the flavor component 200 and the main unit 300 to allow users to experience a flavor-mixed aerosol.

[0116] In some embodiments, the shielding member 90 and the third end 140 of the liquid storage tank 10 are detachably connected. Similar to the second end 290 of the flavor chamber 20 described above, the shielding member 90 has a first groove 2901, a second groove 2902, a positioning post 292, and a first latching part 293 on the side near the liquid storage tank 10 that cooperate with the third end 140. The bottom wall of the first groove 2901 has a first connecting hole 2903, which communicates with the third connecting hole 1401. Unlike the second end 290, the bottom of the second groove 2902 of the shielding member 90 is closed, so that when the second connecting part 142 is inserted into the second groove 2902, the fourth connecting hole 1402 is blocked, so that the airflow of the atomizing channel 101 can only flow to the air outlet channel 304 through the third connecting hole 1401 and the first connecting hole 2903.

[0117] In some embodiments, the shield 90 and the nozzle 30 are detachably connected; specifically, the shield 90 and the nozzle 30 can be detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0118] In some embodiments, a liquid-absorbing member 910 is provided between the shielding member 90 and the suction nozzle 30. The liquid-absorbing member 910 is made of a material with liquid-absorbing properties, for example, the liquid-absorbing member 910 can be a liquid-absorbing cotton.

[0119] In some embodiments, the mouthpiece 30 of the flavor assembly 200 can replace the connected flavor chamber 20 with a shield 90, so that the flavor assembly 200 can be transformed into a mouthpiece assembly 400, making the mouthpiece 30 reusable, which helps to save users' usage costs and improve the cost-effectiveness of the product.

[0120] The flavor component 200, atomizer 100, and atomizing device provided in this application are as follows: The flavor component 200, by setting multiple sub-flavor chambers 210, generates flavor gas by evaporating flavor elements 220 within the sub-flavor chambers 210. Without adding an additional atomizing system, users can experience aerosols with multiple mixed flavor effects, which helps reduce user operating costs and improves the space utilization of the atomizing device. The detachable connection between the flavor component 200 and the main unit 300 allows users to replace different flavor components 200 with different connections to the main unit 300, increasing the diversity of user choices. In addition, the detachable connection between the mouthpiece 30, flavor chambers 20, and liquid storage tank 10 makes it easy for users to replenish or replace flavor elements 220, further reducing user operating costs.

[0121] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of this application.
