Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization equipment technology, and in particular to an atomizer and atomization device. Background Technology
[0002] The atomizer can be used in conjunction with a replenishment unit. By changing the atomizer's orientation, such as placing it upside down with the mouthpiece facing down, the replenishment unit can supply the atomizing matrix to the atomizer, thereby increasing the amount of atomizing matrix stored in the atomizer. In related technologies, changes in external environmental conditions (such as temperature or air pressure changes) can easily cause leakage of the atomizing matrix in the replenishment unit, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides an atomizer and atomizing device that can solve the technical problem of easy leakage of atomizing matrix.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an atomizer configured for use with a replenishment component. The atomizer includes a mouthpiece and an atomizing component. One end of the atomizing component is connected to the mouthpiece, and the other end of the atomizing component away from the mouthpiece is used for connection to the replenishment component. The atomizing component has a first liquid storage chamber, including an atomizing core and a liquid storage element, which are installed in the first liquid storage chamber. The atomizing component has a first direction extending along the atomizing core. The liquid storage element has a top surface near the mouthpiece in the first direction, a bottom surface opposite to the top surface, and a side surface located between the top and bottom surfaces. The atomizing component includes a sidewall disposed around the side surface of the liquid storage element. At least a portion of the side surface is spaced apart from the sidewall to form a first liquid storage space between the side surface and the sidewall. The first liquid storage space is used to store the atomized matrix precipitated from the liquid storage element.
[0005] In one embodiment, the area of the region where the side surface and the sidewall are spaced apart is greater than or equal to 10% of the side surface area.
[0006] In one embodiment, in a reference section perpendicular to the first direction, at least a portion of the outer contour line of the side surface is spaced apart from the inner contour line of the side wall, wherein the length of the segment spaced apart from the inner contour line is greater than or equal to 10% of the circumference of the outer contour line.
[0007] In one embodiment, within a reference section perpendicular to the first direction, the outer contour lines of the side surfaces are spaced apart from the inner contour lines of the sidewalls, so that the first liquid storage space surrounds the side surfaces.
[0008] In one embodiment, the liquid storage component is wrapped around the outer periphery of the atomizing core. The atomizing assembly includes a support, which is disposed along a first direction on the side wall away from the mouthpiece. A first liquid inlet is provided on the support. When the atomizer is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly, the atomizing matrix in the replenishment assembly can enter the first liquid storage chamber through the first liquid inlet. In a reference section perpendicular to the first direction, the line segment of the outer contour line near the first liquid inlet is spaced apart from the inner contour line, and the line segment of the outer contour line near the atomizing core is at least partially coincident with the inner contour line.
[0009] In one embodiment, the distance between at least a portion of the outer contour line and the inner contour line is 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
[0010] In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly includes a cover plate disposed close to the mouthpiece in a first direction, the cover plate forming a portion of the inner wall of a first liquid storage chamber; at least a portion of the top surface is spaced apart from the cover plate to form a second liquid storage space between the top surface and the cover plate, the second liquid storage space being in communication with the first liquid storage space.
[0011] In one embodiment, the ratio of the sum of the volumes of the second liquid storage space and the first liquid storage space to the volume of the liquid storage component is 0.25-1.0.
[0012] In one embodiment, the atomizing component includes a cover and a support. The cover is connected to the mouthpiece, and the support is disposed on the side of the cover away from the mouthpiece, forming a first liquid storage chamber with the cover. The support has a first air pressure regulating hole, and the first liquid storage chamber is connected to the external space of the atomizer through the first air pressure regulating hole.
[0013] In another aspect, this application provides an atomizing device, which includes an atomizer as described above and a liquid replenishment component. The liquid replenishment component is provided with a second liquid storage chamber for storing atomizing matrix. The liquid replenishment component is connected to the atomizer. The first liquid storage chamber and the second liquid storage chamber are connected by a liquid path. The second liquid storage chamber can replenish the atomizing matrix to the first liquid storage chamber.
[0014] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes an atomizing host, which is electrically connected to the atomizer.
[0015] The atomizer provided in this application has a first liquid storage space formed between the side and the side wall of the liquid storage component. The first liquid storage space is used to store the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component, so that the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix.

It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0033] This application provides an atomizing device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The atomizing device 500 may include an atomizer 100 and a replenishment component 40. The replenishment component 40 is connected to the atomizer 100 and is used to replenish the atomizing matrix to the atomizer 100. By configuring the atomizer 100 and the replenishment component 40 relatively independently, the replenishment component 40 can be externally placed on the atomizer 100, thereby reducing the limitation imposed by the atomizer 100 on the volume of the replenishment component 40. This allows the replenishment component 40 to have a relatively large capacity, storing more atomizing matrix and thus extending the service life of the atomizing device 500.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The atomizing device 500 may further include an atomizing host 50, with the atomizer 100 electrically connected to the atomizing host 50. The atomizing host 50 controls the operation of the atomizer 100. For example, the atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 may be electrically connected via electrodes. The atomizing host 50 may include a battery 51, a circuit board 52, and an airflow sensor 53, both of which are electrically connected to the battery 51. The airflow sensor 53 can generate a control signal based on the user's inhalation action, and the circuit board 52 can control the conduction state between the atomizer 100 and the battery 51 according to the control signal, thereby controlling the atomizer 100 to heat the atomization matrix to generate an aerosol or to stop heating. The atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 may be fixedly connected, or they may be detachable, such as by snap-fit, screw, adhesive, or magnetic connection. When the atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 are detachably connected, the atomizing host 50 can be used multiple times after replacing the atomizer 100, which helps reduce the user's operating costs.
[0035] The nebulizer 100 is configured for use with the replenishment assembly 40. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4-7 The atomizer 100 may include a mouthpiece 10 and an atomizing assembly 20. The mouthpiece 10 is used by a user to perform a suction action. One end of the atomizing assembly 20 is connected to the mouthpiece 10, and the other end of the atomizing assembly 20 away from the mouthpiece 10 is used to connect to a replenishment assembly 40. The replenishment assembly 40 is used to replenish the atomizing matrix to the atomizing assembly 20, and the atomizing assembly 20 is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The atomizing assembly 20 has a first liquid storage chamber 223, and the replenishment assembly 40 has a second liquid storage chamber 411 for storing the atomizing matrix. When the atomizer 100 is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the replenishment assembly 40 is connected to the atomizer 100, the first liquid storage chamber 223 and the second liquid storage chamber 411 are in liquid communication, and the second liquid storage chamber 411 can replenish the atomizing matrix to the first liquid storage chamber 223. When the first liquid storage chamber 223 needs to be replenished with atomizing matrix, the orientation of the atomizer 100 can be adjusted, for example, by placing the atomizer 100 horizontally or the nozzle 10 downwards, so that the atomizing matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 411 flows to the first liquid storage chamber 223 under the action of gravity. The first liquid storage chamber 223 may be pre-stored with atomizing matrix, which is replenished by the replenishment component 40 after it is consumed; or, if there is no pre-stored atomizing matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 223, the replenishment component 40 injects atomizing matrix into the first liquid storage chamber 223 after the atomizing component 20 is connected to the replenishment component 40.
[0036] Please see Figures 4-7The atomizing assembly 20 includes an atomizing core 21 and a liquid reservoir 25. The atomizing core 21 and the liquid reservoir 25 are installed in a first liquid reservoir 223. The liquid reservoir 25 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton, which can adsorb the atomizing matrix, making it less prone to leakage within the first liquid reservoir 223. The liquid reservoir 25 is in contact with the atomizing core 21 and supplies the atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21. The atomizing core 21 is connected to the mouthpiece 10 and is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol, which is then output through the mouthpiece 10. The atomizing assembly 20 has a first direction extending along the atomizing core 21. The liquid reservoir 25 can be block-shaped or cylindrical. (See also...) Figures 6-8 The liquid reservoir 25 has a top surface 251 near the nozzle 10 in a first direction, a bottom surface 252 opposite to the top surface 251, and a side surface 253 located between the top surface 251 and the bottom surface 252. The atomizing assembly 20 includes a sidewall 222 disposed around the side surface 253 of the liquid reservoir 25, forming a portion of the inner wall of the first liquid reservoir 223. At least a portion of the side surface 253 is spaced apart from the sidewall 222 to form a first liquid reservoir space 254 between the side surface 253 and the sidewall 222, the first liquid reservoir space 254 being used to store the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid reservoir 25. The side surface 253 and the sidewall 222 can be continuously spaced apart, i.e., the side surface 253 has a region spaced apart from the sidewall 222; or the side surface 253 and the sidewall 222 can be intermittently spaced apart, i.e., the side surface 253 has multiple regions spaced apart from the sidewall 222.
[0037] The atomizer 100 provided in this application has a first liquid storage space 254 formed between the side 253 and the side wall 222 of the liquid storage component 25. The first liquid storage space 254 is used to store the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25, so that the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25 can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix.
[0038] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the atomizer 100 further includes a housing assembly 30. The housing assembly 30 may include multiple sub-housings that enclose an installation space. The liquid replenishment assembly 40 and the atomizing assembly 20 are mounted on the housing assembly 30, which can enhance the overall integrity of the atomizer 100, thereby facilitating the transportation and use of the atomizer 100.
[0039] In one embodiment, the area of the region where the side surface 253 is spaced apart from the side wall 222 is greater than or equal to 10% of the surface area of the side surface 253. When the side surface 253 and the side wall 222 are intermittently spaced apart, the area of the region where the side surface 253 is spaced apart from the side wall 222 is the sum of the areas of multiple regions on the side surface 253 that are spaced apart from the side wall 222. Exemplarily, the area of the region where the side surface 253 is spaced apart from the side wall 222 is greater than or equal to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90% of the surface area of the side surface 253, and no specific limitation is made herein. The area of the region where the side 253 and the side wall 222 are separated is greater than or equal to 10% of the surface area of the side 253. The large area of the region where the side 253 and the side wall 222 are separated makes the first liquid storage space 254 have a large effective volume, which can reduce the leakage of the atomizing matrix temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254 from the first liquid storage space 254, thereby further reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.
[0040] In one embodiment, within a reference cross-section parallel to the first direction, at least a portion of the outer contour line of the side surface 253 is spaced apart from the inner contour line of the side wall 222. For example, the liquid storage member 25 may be generally stepped in the first direction. The side surface 253 of the liquid storage member 25 near the nozzle 10 contacts the side wall 222, while the side surface 253 of the liquid storage member 25 away from the nozzle 10 is spaced apart from the side wall 222. This forms a first liquid storage space 254 with a larger effective volume on the side away from the nozzle 10. The atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage member 25 can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254, and the atomizing matrix temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254 is not prone to leakage from the first liquid storage space 254, thereby reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, in a reference section perpendicular to the first direction, at least a portion of the outer contour line of the side surface 253 is spaced apart from the inner contour line of the side wall 222. For example, the liquid reservoir 25 may be generally cylindrical in the first direction. The outer contour line of the side surface 253 and the inner contour line of the side wall 222 may be continuously spaced apart or intermittently spaced apart. The length of the segment spaced between the outer contour line and the inner contour line is greater than or equal to 10% of the circumference of the outer contour line. Exemplarily, the length of the segment spaced between the outer contour line and the inner contour line is greater than or equal to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90% of the circumference of the outer contour line. With this configuration, on the one hand, the first liquid storage space 254 has a large effective volume, and the atomized matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25 can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254. Moreover, the atomized matrix temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254 is not easy to leak from the first liquid storage space 254, which can reduce the risk of leakage of the atomized matrix. On the other hand, the liquid storage component 25 can be roughly cylindrical in the first direction, and the shape of the side surface 253 of the liquid storage component 25 is relatively regular, which can facilitate the processing of the liquid storage component 25.
[0042] Please see Figures 6-8 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a cover plate 221 disposed near the nozzle 10 in a first direction, forming a portion of the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 223. A side wall 222 may be connected to the side of the cover plate 221 away from the nozzle 10. The side wall 222 and the cover plate 221 may be integrally formed or assembled together. At least a portion of the top surface 251 is spaced apart from the cover plate 221 to form a second liquid storage space 255 between the top surface 251 and the cover plate 221. With the second liquid storage space 255 disposed between the top surface 251 and the cover plate 221 of the liquid storage component 25, when the nozzle 10 of the atomizer 100 is in a downward orientation, the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25 can be temporarily stored in the second liquid storage space 255, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix. The second liquid storage space 255 is in communication with the first liquid storage space 254. This configuration allows the storage spaces corresponding to different parts of the liquid storage component 25 to be interconnected. When a large amount of atomized matrix is precipitated from one part of the liquid storage component 25, the atomized matrix can flow from the storage space corresponding to one part of the liquid storage component 25 to the storage spaces corresponding to other parts of the liquid storage component 25. This helps to temporarily store the atomized matrix precipitated in the liquid storage space, thereby further reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.
[0043] In one embodiment, the ratio of the sum of the volumes of the second liquid storage space 255 and the first liquid storage space 254 to the volume of the liquid storage component 25 is 0.25-1.0. If the ratio of the volume of the liquid storage space to the volume of the liquid storage component 25 is less than 0.25, the effective volume of the liquid storage space is limited, and the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25 is difficult to temporarily store in the liquid storage space, posing a risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix. If the ratio of the volume of the liquid storage space to the volume of the liquid storage component 25 is greater than 1.0, the volume of the liquid storage space is large, which will increase the overall size of the device and is not conducive to the miniaturization of the product. For example, the ratio of the sum of the volumes of the second liquid storage space 255 and the first liquid storage space 254 to the volume of the liquid storage component 25 can be 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.65, 0.75, 0.85, 0.95, or 1.0.
[0044] In one embodiment, within a reference cross-section perpendicular to the first direction, the outer contour lines of the side surface 253 are spaced apart from the inner contour lines of the side wall 222, so that the first liquid storage space 254 surrounds the side surface 253. Since each region of the side surface 253 is designed not to contact the side wall 222, the first liquid storage space 254 surrounds the side surface 253 of the liquid storage component 25. When the atomizer 100 is placed horizontally with any side facing down, the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25 can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254, thereby further reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.
[0045] Please see Figures 4-9 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a support 23 disposed on the side of the sidewall 222 away from the mouthpiece 10. The sidewall 222 may be connected to the side of the support 23 near the mouthpiece 10. The sidewall 222 and the support 23 may be integrally formed or assembled together. The support 23 may form part of the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 223. A first liquid inlet hole 232 is provided on the support 23. When the atomizer 100 is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the atomizing matrix in the replenishment assembly 40 may enter the first liquid storage chamber 223 through the first liquid inlet hole 232. The liquid storage element 25 may have one side in contact with the atomizing core 21. Alternatively, the liquid storage element 25 may wrap around the outer periphery of the atomizing core 21, which can increase the contact area between the liquid storage element 25 and the atomizing core 21, so that the liquid storage element 25 can supply the atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21 from all directions. Within a reference section perpendicular to the first direction, the outer contour line segment near the first liquid inlet 232 is spaced apart from the inner contour line, and at least part of the outer contour line segment near the atomizing core 21 coincides with the inner contour line. By ensuring that at least a portion of the side surface 253 near the atomizing core 21 contacts the side wall 222, the volume of the liquid reservoir 25 surrounding the atomizing core 21 can be increased, allowing the liquid reservoir 25 to adsorb more atomizing matrix and thus stably supply the atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21.
[0046] In one embodiment, the distance between at least a portion of the outer contour line and the inner contour line is 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm. If the distance between the outer contour line and the inner contour line is less than 2.0 mm, that is, the distance between the side surface 253 and the side wall 222 is less than 2.0 mm, then the distance between the side surface 253 and the side wall 222 is small, the effective volume of the first liquid storage space 254 is limited, and the atomizing matrix precipitated from the liquid storage component 25 is difficult to temporarily store in the first liquid storage space 254, posing a risk of atomizing matrix leakage. If the distance between the outer contour line and the inner contour line is greater than 3.0 mm, that is, the distance between the side surface 253 and the side wall 222 is greater than 3.0 mm, then the distance between the side surface 253 and the side wall 222 is large, and when the external temperature recovers, the leaked atomizing matrix is difficult to flow back to the liquid storage component 25 under the liquid bridge effect, resulting in waste of the atomizing matrix. For example, the distance between the outer contour line and the inner contour line can be 2.0 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, or 3.0 mm, and is not specifically limited here. By controlling the distance between the side surface 253 and the side wall 222 within the above range, on the one hand, the first liquid storage space 254 has a large effective volume, which is beneficial for temporarily storing the atomizing matrix precipitated in the liquid storage component 25 in the first liquid storage space 254, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix; on the other hand, when the external temperature recovers, the leaked atomizing matrix can flow back to the liquid storage component 25 under the liquid bridge effect, thereby realizing the reuse of the atomizing matrix and reducing the waste of the atomizing matrix.
[0047] Please see Figures 4-9 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a cover 22 and a support 23. The cover 22 and the support 23 may be made of plastic. The cover 22 is connected to the mouthpiece 10. The support 23 can be connected to the liquid replenishment assembly 40. The support 23 is disposed on the side of the cover 22 away from the mouthpiece 10, and together with the cover 22, forms a first liquid storage cavity 223. The cover 22 may include a cover plate 221 and a side wall 222. The cover plate 221 is disposed near the mouthpiece 10, and the side wall 222 is connected to the side of the cover plate 221 away from the mouthpiece 10. The side wall 222 and the cover plate 221 together with the support 23 form the first liquid storage cavity 223. When assembling the atomizing assembly 20, the components can be installed on the support 23 first, and then the cover 22 and the support 23 can be used to form the first liquid storage cavity 223, which facilitates the assembly of the components in the first liquid storage cavity 223.
[0048] When the external temperature rises, the air pressure in the second liquid storage chamber 411 increases, making it easier for the atomized matrix in the replenishment component 40 to leak into the first liquid storage chamber 223 and then leak from the first liquid storage chamber 223 to the outside. In one embodiment, as... Figure 5 , Figures 9-11As shown, the bracket 23 has a first air pressure regulating hole 231, and the first liquid storage space 254 is connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 through the first air pressure regulating hole 231. By connecting the first liquid storage space 254 to the external space of the atomizer 100 through the first air pressure regulating hole 231, the gas in the replenishment component 40 can be discharged through the first liquid storage space 254 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231 when the external temperature rises. This allows the air pressure inside the replenishment component 40 to remain balanced with the external air pressure, reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix. Furthermore, since the bracket 23 is located on the side of the cover 22 away from the nozzle 10, and the first air pressure regulating hole 231 is opened on the bracket 23, the first air pressure regulating hole 231 is also away from the nozzle 10. This reduces the impact of the first air pressure regulating hole 231 on the cavity wall of the first liquid storage chamber 223 near the nozzle 10. In some orientations of the atomizer 100, such as when the nozzle 10 is facing down, the atomizing matrix that leaks into the first liquid storage space 254 is less likely to flow out from the first air pressure regulating hole 231. The atomizing matrix can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage space 254, further reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 10-13As shown, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a sealing element 28, which enhances the airtightness of the atomizing assembly 20. The sealing element 28 includes a first sealing element 281, which is disposed between the cover 22 and the bracket 23. The first sealing element 281 can be made of a material with a certain elastic deformation capacity, such as silicone or rubber. When the first sealing element 281 is interference-fitted into the atomizing assembly 20, it undergoes elastic deformation, allowing it to seal the gap between the bracket 23 and the cover 22, thereby enhancing the airtightness of the first liquid storage chamber 223 and preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix. At least a portion of the first sealing element 281 is housed within the cover 22. The first sealing element 281 has a first mounting hole 288, and one end of the atomizing core 21 is inserted into the first mounting hole 288. The atomizing core 21 is inserted into the first mounting hole 288 of the first seal 281, allowing the first seal 281 to further seal the gap between the atomizing core 21 and the bracket 23. One seal seals multiple components, reducing the number of seals required. The end of the liquid reservoir 25 furthest from the nozzle 10 abuts against the first seal 281. This abutment between the liquid reservoir 25 and the first seal 281 restricts the displacement of the liquid reservoir 25, ensuring a stable supply of atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21 and enhancing the reliability of the atomizing assembly 20. A first pressure regulating groove 286 is provided on the side of the first seal 281 that abuts against the liquid reservoir 25. The first liquid storage space 254 communicates with the first pressure regulating hole 231 via the first pressure regulating groove 286. This configuration allows the gas in the liquid storage component 25 to be discharged through the first pressure regulating groove 286 and the first pressure regulating hole 231 when the external temperature rises. The gas pressure inside the liquid storage component 25 can be kept in balance with the external gas pressure, thereby reducing the atomized matrix precipitated in the liquid storage component 25 and reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.
[0050] Please see Figures 9-11In one embodiment, the support 23 has a first liquid inlet 232, and the first sealing member 281 has a second liquid inlet 289 communicating with the first liquid inlet 232. When the atomizer 100 is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the atomizing matrix in the replenishment assembly 40 can enter the first liquid storage chamber 223 through the first liquid inlet 232 and the second liquid inlet 289, so that the second liquid storage chamber 411 can replenish the atomizing matrix to the first liquid storage chamber 223. The atomizing assembly 20 may include a liquid guide tube 26 and a first liquid guide element 27. The liquid guide tube 26 is inserted into the first liquid inlet 232 and the second liquid inlet 289, the first liquid guide element 27 is housed in the liquid guide tube 26, and the liquid storage member 25 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the liquid guide tube 26. The atomizing matrix in the replenishment assembly 40 can enter the first liquid storage chamber 223 through the first liquid guide element 27. The first liquid guide element 27 may be a silicone part or fiber cotton. The first liquid guiding element 27 can adjust the flow rate of the atomized matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 411 to the first liquid storage chamber 223, thereby preventing leakage due to excessive flow rate.
[0051] The first sealing element 281 may have a through hole connecting the first pressure regulating groove 286 and the first pressure regulating hole 231, so that the first liquid storage space 254 is connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 in sequence through the first pressure regulating groove 286, the through hole, and the first pressure regulating hole 231. Or, as Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the first sealing member 281 is further provided with a second air pressure regulating groove 287. The second air pressure regulating groove 287 is disposed on the hole wall of the first mounting hole 288. The side of the second air pressure regulating groove 287 near the atomizing core 21 is connected to the first mounting hole 288. The second air pressure regulating groove 287 connects the first air pressure regulating groove 286 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231. The second pressure regulating groove 287 is disposed on the wall of the first mounting hole 288. The side of the second pressure regulating groove 287 near the atomizing core 21 is connected to the first mounting hole 288. The second pressure regulating groove 287 is an open groove with one side connected to the first mounting hole 288. On the one hand, compared with a closed hole, the second pressure regulating groove 287 is easier to process. On the other hand, by using the side wall of the atomizing core 21 to seal one side of the second pressure regulating groove 287, the second pressure regulating groove 287 can be as close as possible to the first mounting hole 288, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second pressure regulating groove 287 on the first sealing member 281, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the first sealing member 281.
[0052] When assembling the atomizing core 21, a gap can be left between the end of the atomizing core 21 away from the mouthpiece and the bracket 23, so that the second air pressure regulating groove 287 can be connected to the first air pressure regulating hole 231 through the gap. Or, as Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13As shown, in one embodiment, the first sealing element 281 includes a sealing body 284 and a limiting element 285. The sealing body 284 is disposed between the cover 22 and the bracket 23, and at least a portion of the sealing body 284 is accommodated in the cover 22. A first mounting hole 288 is formed in the sealing body 284, and the limiting element 285 protrudes from the first mounting hole 288. The limiting element 285 can be integrally formed with the sealing body 284, or it can be assembled and connected to the sealing body 284. The limiting element 285 can be a protrusion or a flange. The end of the atomizing core 21 away from the nozzle 10 abuts against the limiting element 285. The limiting element 285 is provided with a third air pressure regulating groove 2851, which connects the second air pressure regulating groove 287 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231. The limiting member 285 is protruding from the first mounting hole 288. The end of the atomizing core 21 away from the mouthpiece 10 abuts against the limiting member 285. The limiting member 285 can restrict the assembly position of the end of the atomizing core 21 away from the mouthpiece 10. This can facilitate the assembly and positioning of the atomizing core 21 and ensure that the end of the atomizing core 21 away from the mouthpiece 10 will not affect the connection between the second air pressure regulating groove 287 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231.
[0053] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 12 In one embodiment, the first sealing member 281 has a first mounting hole 288, and one end of the atomizing core 21 is inserted into the first mounting hole 288. The atomizing core 21 has a second air pressure regulating hole 214, which connects the first air pressure regulating groove 286 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231. By providing the second air pressure regulating hole 214 on the atomizing core 21 to connect the first air pressure regulating groove 286 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231, the air passages inside the atomizing core 21 can be used to connect the first air pressure regulating groove 286 and the first air pressure regulating hole 231, thereby reducing the number of openings or grooves on the first sealing member 281 and lowering the processing difficulty of the first sealing member 281.
[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 221 has a second mounting hole 224 and a liquid injection hole 225. The end of the atomizing core 21 near the nozzle 10 is inserted into the second mounting hole 224. The liquid injection hole 225 is used to inject the atomizing matrix into the first liquid storage chamber 223, so that the first liquid storage chamber 223 can be pre-stored with atomizing matrix. When the atomizing matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 223 is consumed, it is replenished by the liquid replenishment component 40.
[0055] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a liquid-absorbing element 24. The liquid-absorbing element 24 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton. At least a portion of the liquid-absorbing element 24 is located between the nozzle 10 and the cover plate 221. The liquid-absorbing element 24 can be a single piece, in which case it can be entirely located between the nozzle 10 and the cover plate 221; or, the liquid-absorbing element 24 can be multiple separate liquid-absorbing components, in which case a portion of the liquid is absorbed between the nozzle 10 and the cover plate 221, and another portion of the liquid is wrapped around the outer periphery of the airway tube at the nozzle 10, giving the liquid-absorbing element 24 a larger volume and allowing for a larger adsorption capacity. The liquid-absorbing element 24 can adsorb condensate or un-atomized atomizing matrix in the aerosol, thereby improving the taste of the aerosol.
[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the sealing element 28 includes a second sealing element 282, which is disposed between the cover plate 221 and the liquid suction element 24. When the second sealing element 282 is interference-fitted into the atomizing assembly 20, the second sealing element 282 can seal the gap between the suction nozzle 10 and the cover body 22, thereby enhancing the airtightness of the first liquid storage chamber 223 and preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix.
[0057] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 In one embodiment, the atomizing core 21 includes a heating element 211, a second liquid guiding element 212, and an atomizing tube 213. The second liquid guiding element 212 is used to transfer the atomizing matrix to the heating element 211, which is used to generate heat when energized, thus atomizing the atomizing matrix. Exemplarily, the second liquid guiding element 212 is a cotton liquid guiding element, which wraps around the outer periphery of the heating element 211 and is at least partially housed within the atomizing tube 213. This allows the heating element 211, the second liquid guiding element 212, and the atomizing tube 213 to form a relatively independent module, which is then assembled into the first liquid storage chamber 223 via the atomizing tube 213, achieving modular assembly of the atomizing core 21 and improving production efficiency.
[0058] The replenishment component 40 is configured to be used in conjunction with the nebulizer 100. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the liquid replenishment assembly 40 may include a liquid storage bottle 41, a fixed cap 42, a movable cap 43, and a spring 44. The liquid storage bottle 41 has a second liquid storage chamber 411 and a connection port 412. The connection port 412 may be located at one end of the liquid storage bottle 41 near the mouthpiece 10. The fixed cap 42 is fixedly installed at the connection port 412 of the liquid storage bottle 41. The movable cap 43 is at least partially slidably accommodated within the fixed cap 42. The spring 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the movable cap 43 and connects the fixed cap 42 and the movable cap 43 respectively. When the atomizer 100 is activated, the liquid guide tube 26 is inserted into the fixed cap 42 and pushes the movable cap 43 to move, so that the second liquid storage chamber 411 communicates with the first liquid storage chamber 223, thereby activating the atomizer 100. The seal 28 includes a third seal 283, which is disposed at the first liquid inlet 232 of the bracket 23. The spring 44 is used to hold the movable cover 43 against the third seal 283, thereby enhancing the sealing of the connection between the movable cover 43 and the first liquid inlet 232 and reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix.
