Description

Atomizer and atomizing device 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. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an atomizer and atomizing device that can solve the technical problem of easy leakage of atomizing matrix.

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 reservoir chamber, a collection chamber, and a first pressure regulating groove. The atomizing component includes an atomizing core, which is installed in the first reservoir chamber and connected to the mouthpiece. The atomizing core is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. When the atomizer is configured for use with the replenishment component, the collection chamber can collect the atomizing matrix that leaks from the replenishment component. The first pressure regulating groove connects the collection chamber and the first reservoir chamber. The collection chamber is connected to the external space of the atomizer via the first pressure regulating groove and the first reservoir chamber. The first pressure regulating groove is located on the side of the collection chamber away from the mouthpiece.

[0005] In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 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 and a collection chamber adjacent to each other with the cover. The atomizing assembly also includes a first sealing member disposed between the cover and the support. At least a portion of the first sealing member is accommodated in the cover, and the first sealing member has a first mounting hole. One end of the atomizing core is inserted into the first mounting hole. The first sealing member forms at least a portion of the cavity wall of the collection chamber and the first liquid storage chamber on the side away from the mouthpiece, and a first air pressure regulating groove is disposed in the first sealing member.

[0006] In one embodiment, a first air pressure regulating hole is provided on the bracket, and the first liquid storage chamber can be connected to the external space of the atomizer through the first air pressure regulating hole.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first sealing member has a second air pressure regulating groove, which connects the first air pressure regulating groove and the first air pressure regulating hole; the second air pressure regulating groove is disposed on the hole wall of the first mounting hole, and the side of the second air pressure regulating groove near the atomizing core is connected to the first mounting hole.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first sealing element includes a sealing body and a first limiting element. The sealing body is disposed between the cover and the bracket, and at least a portion of the sealing body is accommodated in the cover. A first mounting hole is formed in the sealing body, and the first limiting element protrudes from the first mounting hole. The end of the atomizing core away from the mouthpiece abuts against the first limiting element. The first limiting element is provided with a third air pressure regulating groove, which connects the second air pressure regulating groove and the first air pressure regulating hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first sealing member includes a second limiting member, which protrudes into the sealing body in the direction of the nozzle; the atomizing assembly includes a liquid storage member housed in the first liquid storage chamber, and the second limiting member abuts against the liquid storage member to form a gap between the end of the liquid storage member away from the nozzle and the sealing body.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first sealing member has a first mounting hole, and one end of the atomizing core is inserted into the first mounting hole; the atomizing core has a second air pressure regulating hole, and the second air pressure regulating hole connects the first air pressure regulating groove and the first air pressure regulating hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the support includes a frame, a connecting tube, and a liquid guide tube. The frame is installed at the end of the cover away from the nozzle. The connecting tube is connected to the frame, with one end connected to the liquid replenishment component and the other end connected to the liquid guide tube. One end of the liquid guide tube is housed in the collection chamber. The atomizing component includes a liquid storage element and a first liquid guide element. The liquid storage element is housed in a first liquid storage chamber. The connecting tube has a liquid guide hole, and the first liquid guide element passes through the liquid guide hole. One end of the first liquid guide element is housed in the connecting tube, and the other end is housed in the first liquid storage chamber and is in fluid communication with the liquid storage element. A first pressure regulating groove is disposed near the first liquid guide element, and the first liquid guide element is at least partially exposed in the first pressure regulating groove.

[0012] 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.

[0013] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes an atomizing host, which is electrically connected to the atomizer.

[0014] The atomizer provided in this application has the following features: First, the atomizing component has a collection chamber that collects atomizing matrix leaking from the replenishment component. The atomizing matrix can be temporarily stored in the collection chamber, thereby reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage. Second, the atomizing component also has a first pressure regulating groove that connects the collection chamber and the first liquid storage chamber. The collection chamber is connected to the external space of the atomizer via the first pressure regulating groove and the first liquid storage chamber, allowing the pressure inside the collection chamber to be balanced with the external pressure. This facilitates the entry and temporary storage of atomizing matrix leaking from the replenishment component into the collection chamber, thereby reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage. Third, the first pressure regulating groove is located on the side of the collection chamber away from the nozzle. This reduces the impact of the first pressure regulating groove on the side wall of the collection chamber and increases the effective volume of the collection chamber. The collection chamber can store more leaked atomizing matrix, thereby reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. 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.

For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or components inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0029] 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. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0030] This application provides an atomizing device. Referring to Figures 1 and 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 setting the atomizer 100 and the replenishment component 40 to be relatively independent, the replenishment component 40 can be externally placed on the atomizer 100, thereby reducing the limitation of the atomizer 100 on the volume of the replenishment component 40, allowing 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.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 and 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. Exemplarily, 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 atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol or to stop heating. The atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 may be fixedly connected or detachably connected 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 the atomizer 100 is replaced, which helps to reduce the user's operating costs.

[0032] The atomizer 100 is configured to work in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40. Referring to Figures 1-5, the atomizer 100 may include a mouthpiece 10 and an atomizing assembly 20. The mouthpiece 10 is used by a user to perform aspiration. 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 connected to the 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 reservoir 224, and the replenishment assembly 40 has a second reservoir 411 for storing the atomizing matrix. When the atomizer 100 is configured to work in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the replenishment assembly 40 is connected to the atomizer 100, the first reservoir 224 and the second reservoir 411 are in liquid communication, and the second reservoir 411 can replenish the atomizing matrix to the first reservoir 224. When the first liquid storage chamber 224 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 224 under the action of gravity. The first liquid storage chamber 224 may be pre-stored with atomizing matrix, and the atomizing matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 224 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 224, after the atomizing component 20 is connected to the replenishment component 40, the replenishment component 40 injects atomizing matrix into the first liquid storage chamber 224.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. The atomizing assembly 20 includes an atomizing core 21. The atomizing core 21 is installed in the first liquid storage chamber 224. The atomizing core 21 is connected to the mouthpiece 10 and is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol, which is output through the mouthpiece 10. The atomizing assembly 20 is provided with a collection chamber 225. When the atomizer 100 is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the collection chamber 225 can collect the atomizing matrix that leaks from the replenishment assembly 40. When changes in external environmental conditions cause leakage of the atomizing matrix in the replenishment assembly 40, the leaked atomizing matrix can be temporarily stored in the collection chamber 225, thereby reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.

[0034] When the external temperature rises, the air pressure in the collection chamber 225 increases. At this time, the atomizing matrix leaking from the replenishment component 40 is more likely to enter the first storage chamber 224 rather than the collection chamber 225. The leaked atomizing matrix is ​​difficult to temporarily store in the collection chamber 225, causing the atomizing matrix to easily leak from the first storage chamber 224. Referring to Figures 5-9, the atomizing component 20 is also provided with a first air pressure regulating groove 277, which connects the collection chamber 225 and the first storage chamber 224. The collection chamber 225 is connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 through the first air pressure regulating groove 277 and the first storage chamber 224. The collection chamber 225 is connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 via the first pressure regulating groove 277 and the first liquid storage chamber 224. This allows the air pressure inside the collection chamber 225 to be balanced with the external air pressure, facilitating the entry and temporary storage of atomized matrix leaking from the liquid replenishment component 40 into the collection chamber 225, thereby reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage. The first pressure regulating groove 277 is located on the side wall of the collection chamber 225 away from the nozzle 10. This design reduces the impact of the first pressure regulating groove 277 on the side wall of the collection chamber 225 and increases the effective volume of the collection chamber 225, allowing it to store more leaked atomized matrix and further reducing the risk of leakage.

[0035] Referring to 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.

[0036] The atomizing matrix can be stored in liquid form within the first liquid storage chamber 224, or it can be stored using a storage medium. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a liquid storage element 25, which is housed in the first liquid storage chamber 224. The liquid storage element 25 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton, and can adsorb the atomizing matrix, making it less prone to leakage within the first liquid storage chamber 224.

[0037] The first liquid storage chamber 224 and the collection chamber 225 can be formed in relatively independent components, making their positions relatively dispersed and allowing for more flexible placement of the collection chamber 225. Alternatively, referring to Figures 4, 5, 10, and 11, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a cover 22 and a support 23. The cover 22 and support 23 can be made of plastic. The cover 22 is connected to the nozzle 10. The support 23 can be connected to the replenishment assembly 40. The support 23 is positioned on the side of the cover 22 away from the nozzle 10, and together with the cover 22, forms the first liquid storage chamber 224 and the collection chamber 225, which are adjacent to each other. Positioning the first liquid storage chamber 224 and the collection chamber 225 adjacently, making their positions relatively concentrated, reduces the gap between components compared to a dispersed arrangement, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the atomizing assembly 20 and facilitating its miniaturization.

[0038] The support 23 can form at least a portion of the cavity wall of the collection chamber 225 and the first liquid storage chamber 224 on the side away from the nozzle 10, and the first air pressure regulating groove 277 is disposed on the support 23. At this time, the support 23 has a certain thickness in the extension direction perpendicular to the atomizing core 21 to facilitate the opening of the first air pressure regulating groove 277. Alternatively, referring to Figures 4-9, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a sealing element 27, which is used to enhance the airtightness of the atomizing assembly 20. The sealing element 27 includes a first sealing element 271, which is disposed between the cover 22 and the support 23. The first sealing element 271 can be a material with a certain elastic deformation ability, such as silicone or rubber. When the first sealing element 271 is interference-fitted into the atomizing assembly 20, the first sealing element 271 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the first sealing element 271 can seal the gap between the support 23 and the cover 22, thereby enhancing the airtightness of the collection chamber 225 and the first liquid storage chamber 224 and preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix. At least a portion of the first sealing element 271 is accommodated within the cover 22. The first sealing element 271 has a first mounting hole 279, into which one end of the atomizing core 21 is inserted. Inserting the atomizing core 21 into the first mounting hole 279 of the first sealing element 271 further seals the gap between the atomizing core 21 and the support 23. One sealing element seals multiple components, reducing the number of sealing elements required. The first sealing element 271 forms at least a portion of the wall of the collecting chamber 225 and the first liquid storage chamber 224 on the side away from the nozzle 10. A first air pressure regulating groove 277 is disposed in the first sealing element 271. The first air pressure regulating groove 277 is formed in the first seal 271. Compared with the first air pressure regulating groove 277 being formed in the bracket 23, since the material of the first seal 271 is usually an elastomer (such as silicone), the material has good fluidity during molding or injection molding, and strong elastic recovery during demolding. It is easy to form complex structures such as irregular cross-section grooves, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the first air pressure regulating groove 277.

[0039] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 11, a first pressure regulating hole 235 is provided on the support 23, and the first liquid storage chamber 224 can communicate with the external space of the atomizer 100 through the first pressure regulating hole 235. Since the support 23 is located on the side of the cover 22 away from the mouthpiece 10, and the first pressure regulating hole 235 is located on the support 23, the first pressure regulating hole 235 is also away from the mouthpiece 10. This reduces the impact of the first pressure regulating hole 235 on the cavity wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224 near the mouthpiece 10. In some postures of the atomizer 100, such as when the mouthpiece 10 is facing downwards, the atomizing matrix that leaks into the first liquid storage chamber 224 is less likely to flow out through the first pressure regulating hole 235. The atomizing matrix can be temporarily stored in the first liquid storage chamber 224, further reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.

[0040] The first sealing member 271 may have a through hole connecting the first pressure regulating groove 277 and the first pressure regulating hole 235, so that the collecting chamber 225 is connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 in sequence through the first pressure regulating groove 277, the first liquid storage chamber 224, the through hole, and the first pressure regulating hole 235. Alternatively, as shown in Figures 7-9, in one embodiment, the first sealing member 271 may also have a second pressure regulating groove 278, which connects the first pressure regulating groove 277 and the first pressure regulating hole 235. The second pressure regulating groove 278 is disposed on the wall of the first mounting hole 279, and the side of the second pressure regulating groove 278 near the atomizing core 21 is connected to the first mounting hole 279. The second pressure regulating groove 278 is disposed on the wall of the first mounting hole 279. The side of the second pressure regulating groove 278 near the atomizing core 21 is connected to the first mounting hole 279. The second pressure regulating groove 278 is an open groove with one side connected to the first mounting hole 279. On the one hand, compared with a closed hole, the second pressure regulating groove 278 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 278, the second pressure regulating groove 278 can be as close as possible to the first mounting hole 279, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second pressure regulating groove 278 on the first sealing member 271, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the first sealing member 271.

[0041] 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, allowing the second air pressure regulating groove 278 to communicate with the first air pressure regulating hole 235 through the gap. Alternatively, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, in one embodiment, the first sealing member 271 includes a sealing body 274 and a first limiting member 275. The sealing body 274 is disposed between the cover 22 and the bracket 23, with at least a portion of the sealing body 274 housed within the cover 22. A first mounting hole 279 is formed in the sealing body 274, and the first limiting member 275 protrudes from the first mounting hole 279. The first limiting member 275 can be integrally formed with the sealing body 274 or assembled and connected to the sealing body 274. The first limiting member 275 can be a protrusion or a flange. The end of the atomizing core 21 furthest from the mouthpiece 10 abuts against the first limiting member 275. The first limiting member 275 is provided with a third air pressure regulating groove 2751, which connects the second air pressure regulating groove 278 and the first air pressure regulating hole 235. The first limiting member 275 is protruding from the first mounting hole 279, and the end of the atomizing core 21 furthest from the mouthpiece 10 abuts against the first limiting member 275. The first limiting member 275 can restrict the assembly position of the end of the atomizing core 21 furthest from the mouthpiece 10, which can facilitate the assembly and positioning of the atomizing core 21 and ensure that the end of the atomizing core 21 furthest from the mouthpiece 10 does not affect the communication between the second air pressure regulating groove 278 and the first air pressure regulating hole 235.

[0042] Referring to Figures 6-9, in one embodiment, the first sealing member 271 includes a second limiting member 276, which protrudes from the sealing body 274 in the direction of the nozzle 10. The second limiting member 276 may be integrally formed with the sealing body 274 or may be assembled and connected to the sealing body 274. The second limiting member 276 may be a protrusion or a flange. The atomizing assembly 20 includes a liquid reservoir 25 housed in the first liquid reservoir 224, and the second limiting member 276 abuts against the liquid reservoir 25 to form a gap between the end of the liquid reservoir 25 away from the nozzle 10 and the sealing body 274. By setting the second limiting member 276 to form a gap between the end of the liquid storage component 25 away from the nozzle 10 and the sealing body 274, the contact surface between the sealing body 274 and the end of the liquid storage component 25 away from the nozzle 10 is minimized. The liquid storage component 25 can be connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 through the second air pressure regulating groove 278, the third air pressure regulating groove 2751 and the first air pressure regulating hole 235. When the external temperature rises, the air pressure inside the liquid storage component 25 can be balanced with the external air pressure, reducing the leakage of the atomizing matrix inside the liquid storage component 25, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix.

[0043] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 7-9, the first sealing member 271 has a first mounting hole 279, and one end of the atomizing core 21 is inserted into the first mounting hole 279. The atomizing core 21 has a second air pressure regulating hole 214, which connects the first air pressure regulating groove 277 and the first air pressure regulating hole 235. By providing the second air pressure regulating hole 214 on the atomizing core 21 to connect the first air pressure regulating groove 277 and the first air pressure regulating hole 235, the air passages inside the atomizing core 21 can be used to connect the first air pressure regulating groove 277 and the first air pressure regulating hole 235, thereby reducing the number of openings or grooves on the first sealing member 271 and lowering the processing difficulty of the first sealing member 271.

[0044] Referring to Figure 5, in one embodiment, the cover 22 is provided with a third air pressure regulating hole 226, and the first liquid storage chamber 224 can also communicate with the external space of the atomizer 100 through the third air pressure regulating hole 226. That is, the first liquid storage chamber 224 can communicate with the external space of the atomizer 100 through both the first air pressure regulating hole 235 and the third air pressure regulating hole 226, so that the first liquid storage chamber 224 has multiple paths to communicate with the external space. Even if one of the air pressure regulating holes is blocked, it can still communicate with the external space through another air pressure regulating hole, thereby improving the reliability of air pressure balance regulation.

[0045] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in 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. The liquid-absorbing element 24 is positioned near the third pressure regulating hole 226 and is configured to absorb the atomizing matrix seeping through the third pressure regulating hole 226. At least a portion of the liquid-absorbing element 24 is located between the nozzle 10 and the cover 22. 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 22; or, the liquid-absorbing element 24 can be a multi-part component comprising multiple liquid-absorbing parts, in which case a portion of the liquid is located between the nozzle 10 and the cover 22, and another portion of the liquid wraps around the outer periphery of the air passage at the nozzle 10, giving the liquid-absorbing element 24 a larger volume and allowing for a larger adsorption capacity. With this configuration, even if a large amount of atomized matrix leaks into the first liquid storage chamber 224 and overflows from the third pressure regulating hole 226, the liquid suction component 24 can absorb the overflowing atomized matrix, thereby forming multiple leakage protections and further reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0046] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 10, the cover 22 includes a cover plate 221, a side wall 222, and a partition 223. The cover plate 221 is disposed near the suction nozzle 10. The side wall 222 is connected to the side of the cover plate 221 away from the suction nozzle 10. The partition 223 is connected to the side wall 222 and the cover plate 221. The partition 223 divides the internal space formed by the side wall 222, the cover plate 221, and the support 23 into a first liquid storage chamber 224 and a collection chamber 225. This arrangement allows the partition 223 to form a common cavity wall for the first liquid storage chamber 224 and the collection chamber 225, thereby reducing material usage and lowering costs. The end of the partition 223 away from the suction nozzle 10 abuts against the area of ​​the first sealing member 271 located outside the first air pressure regulating groove 277. The partition 223 is positioned so that the end furthest from the nozzle 10 abuts against the area of ​​the first seal 271 outside the first pressure regulating groove 277. On the one hand, the partition 223 does not obstruct the first pressure regulating groove 277, allowing the collection chamber 225 to pass through the first pressure regulating groove 277, the first liquid storage chamber 224, and the external space of the atomizer 100. The air pressure inside the collection chamber 225 can be balanced with the external air pressure, which is beneficial for the atomized matrix leaking from the replenishment component 40 to enter the collection chamber 225 and be temporarily stored there, thereby reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage. On the other hand, by maximizing the extension dimension of the partition 223 towards the end furthest from the nozzle 10, the effective volume of the collection chamber 225 can be increased, allowing the collection chamber 225 to store more leaked atomized matrix, thereby reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0047] Referring to Figures 5 and 11, in one embodiment, the support 23 includes a frame 231, a connecting tube 232, and a liquid guide tube 233. The frame 231 is installed at the end of the cover 22 away from the nozzle 10. The connecting tube 232 is connected to the frame 231, with one end connected to the liquid replenishment component 40 and the other end connected to the liquid guide tube 233. One end of the liquid guide tube 233 is housed within the collection chamber 225. The frame 231, connecting tube 232, and liquid guide tube 233 can be integrally formed to form the support 23, i.e., the support 23 is a one-piece structure; alternatively, the frame 231, connecting tube 232, and liquid guide tube 233 can be separately manufactured and then assembled to form the support 23, i.e., the support 23 is a separate structure. The liquid guide tube 233 is a hollow cylindrical shape. The liquid guide tube 233 can connect to the second liquid storage chamber 411, so that the collection chamber 225 is connected to the second liquid storage chamber 411. In some orientations of the atomizer 100, such as when the nozzle 10 is facing downwards, when external environmental conditions change, the atomizing matrix that leaks from the second liquid storage chamber 411 can be temporarily stored in the collection chamber 225 under the guidance of the liquid guide tube 233. The diameter of the liquid guide tube 233 is usually small. When the external environmental conditions recover, the atomizing matrix in the collection chamber 225 can be returned to the second liquid storage chamber 411 through the liquid guide tube 233 under the capillary action of the liquid guide tube 233, thereby realizing the reuse of the leaked atomizing matrix and reducing the waste of atomizing matrix.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. The atomizing assembly 20 includes a liquid storage component 25 and a first liquid guiding component 26. The liquid storage component 25 is housed in a first liquid storage chamber 224. The connecting pipe 232 has a liquid guiding hole 234. The first liquid guiding component 26 passes through the liquid guiding hole 234. One end of the first liquid guiding component 26 is housed in the connecting pipe 232, and the other end is housed in the first liquid storage chamber 224 and is in fluid communication with the liquid storage component 25. The first liquid guiding component 26 can be rod-shaped or strip-shaped. The first liquid guiding component 26 is a porous medium, such as porous fiber, porous ceramic, porous metal, porous glass, or porous plastic. The first liquid storage chamber 224 is connected to the second liquid storage chamber 411 via the first liquid guiding component 26. The first liquid guiding component 26 is used to transfer the atomizing matrix in the replenishment assembly 40 to the first liquid storage chamber 224. A first liquid guide 26 is provided to fluidly connect the second liquid storage chamber 411 and the first liquid storage chamber 224. The first liquid guide 26 can regulate the flow rate of the atomized matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 411 from the liquid guide hole 234 to the first liquid storage chamber 224, thereby preventing leakage due to excessive flow rate. A first air pressure regulating groove 277 is disposed close to the first liquid guide 26, and the first liquid guide 26 is at least partially exposed to the first air pressure regulating groove 277. By providing that the first liquid guide 26 is at least partially exposed to the first air pressure regulating groove 277, the second liquid storage chamber 411 can be connected to the external space of the atomizer 100 via the first liquid guide 26 and the second air pressure regulating groove 277. When the external temperature rises, the air pressure in the second liquid storage chamber 411 can be kept in balance with the external air pressure, reducing the seepage of the atomized matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 411, thereby reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0049] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG10, the cover plate 221 has a second mounting hole 227 and a liquid injection hole 228. The end of the atomizing core 21 near the nozzle 10 is inserted into the second mounting hole 227. The liquid injection hole 228 is used to inject atomizing matrix into the first liquid storage chamber 224, so that the first liquid storage chamber 224 can be pre-stored with atomizing matrix. When the atomizing matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 224 is consumed, it is replenished by the liquid replenishment component 40.

[0050] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in one embodiment, the sealing element 27 includes a second sealing element 272, which is disposed between the cover plate 221 and the liquid suction element 24. When the second sealing element 272 is interference-fitted into the atomizing assembly 20, it seals the gap between the suction nozzle 10 and the cover 22, thereby enhancing the airtightness of the collection chamber 225 and the first liquid storage chamber 224 and preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix.

[0051] Referring to 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 224 via the atomizing tube 213, achieving modular assembly of the atomizing core 21 and improving production efficiency.

[0052] The replenishment assembly 40 is configured to work in conjunction with the atomizer 100. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the replenishment assembly 40 may include a reservoir 41, a fixed cap 42, a movable cap 43, and a spring 44. The reservoir 41 has a second reservoir 411 and a connection port 412. The connection port 412 may be located at one end of the reservoir 41 near the mouthpiece 10. The fixed cap 42 is fixedly installed at the connection port 412 of the reservoir 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 connecting tube 232 is inserted into the fixed cap 42 and pushes the movable cap 43 to move, so that the second reservoir 411 communicates with the first reservoir 224, thereby activating the atomizer 100. The sealing element 27 includes a third sealing element 273, which is sleeved on the outside of the connecting tube 232. The spring 44 is used to hold the movable cover 43 against the third sealing element 273, thereby enhancing the airtightness of the connection between the movable cover 43 and the connecting tube 232 and reducing the risk of leakage of the atomized matrix.
