Therefore, once the e-liquid in the tank is used up, the entire atomizer must be replaced, leading to waste and increased operating costs. Furthermore, because the tank and atomizing assembly are integrated, they cannot be transported or stored separately. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical objective of this utility model is to provide an oil tank assembly, which aims to solve the technical problems in related technologies such as the atomizer easily causing waste and increasing the cost of use; and the oil tank assembly and the atomizer assembly cannot be transported separately or stored separately.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is implemented as follows: an oil tank assembly includes an oil cup and a sealing assembly. The oil cup has a liquid storage section and an installation section arranged axially. The liquid storage section defines a liquid storage cavity. The installation section is located at the open end of the oil cup and defines an installation cavity. The sealing assembly is at least partially disposed within the installation cavity. The sealing assembly has an oil sealing element that is detachably separable from the oil cup. The oil sealing element is used to form an opening that exposes the liquid storage cavity when separated from the oil cup.

[0005] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the oil cup is further provided with a separator that divides the oil cup axially into a receiving cavity and a liquid storage cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the separator is also provided with a valve plate corresponding to the liquid outlet channel, the valve plate being configured to open the liquid storage chamber under the action of external force.

[0007] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sealing assembly includes the separator and a support disposed on the side of the separator opposite to the valve plate, the support being fixedly assembled with the oil cup, the separator being made of soft rubber material, and the separator being in sealing contact with the oil cup through the support.

[0008] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the support member is snap-fitted to the oil cup.

[0009] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sealing element has a plugging portion that is detachably inserted through the liquid outlet channel to block the liquid outlet channel.

[0010] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a locking structure is provided between the oil sealing element and the oil cup. The locking structure has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the oil cup and the oil sealing element can be detached and separated. In the locked state, the oil cup and the oil sealing element are fixedly connected.

[0011] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the locking structure includes a first snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the oil cup and a second snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the oil sealing member, wherein the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure are connected in the locked state.

[0012] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap hole or a snap protrusion; the second snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap protrusion corresponding to the snap hole, or a snap hole corresponding to the snap protrusion; in the locked state, the snap protrusion snaps into the snap hole.

[0013] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sealing member is also provided with a spring arm, and the second snap-fit ​​structure is disposed on the spring arm.

[0014] Furthermore, in some embodiments, one end of the elastic arm is a free end, the free end is provided with a pressing part, the side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a clearance opening, and the pressing part is exposed to the outside of the oil cup through the clearance opening.

[0015] Compared with related technologies, the oil tank assembly of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] In this embodiment of the invention, the oil cup has a liquid storage section and an installation section along the axial direction. The liquid storage section defines a liquid storage cavity for storing atomizing liquid. The installation section is located at the open end of the oil cup relative to the liquid storage section. The installation section also defines an installation cavity, within which a sealing assembly is disposed. The sealing assembly has a sealing element that is detachably separable from the oil cup.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an oil tank assembly, including an oil cup 1 and a sealing assembly 2. The oil cup 1 has a liquid storage section and an installation section arranged axially. The liquid storage section defines a liquid storage cavity 11, and the installation section is located at the open end of the oil cup 1 and defines an installation cavity. The sealing assembly 2 is at least partially disposed in the installation cavity. The sealing assembly 2 has an oil sealing element 21 that is detachably separable from the oil cup 1. The oil sealing element 21 is used to form an opening that exposes the liquid storage cavity 11 when separated from the oil cup 1.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the oil cup 1 has a liquid storage section and an installation section along the axial direction. The liquid storage section defines a liquid storage cavity 11 for storing atomizing liquid. The installation section is located at the open end of the oil cup 1 relative to the liquid storage section. The installation section also defines an installation cavity, within which the sealing assembly 2 is at least partially disposed. The sealing assembly 2 has a sealing element 21 that is detachably separable from the oil cup 1. When the sealing element 21 is connected to the oil cup 1, it can seal the opening of the liquid storage cavity 11, preventing the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 from flowing out through the opening. This achieves sealed preservation of the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11, enabling separate storage, separate shipment, and recycling of the oil tank assembly, avoiding waste and reducing operating costs. Furthermore, when the sealing element 21 is detached from the oil cup 1, the opening of the liquid storage cavity 11 is exposed, allowing the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 to flow out.

[0029] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the oil cup 1 is also provided with a separator 22, which divides the oil cup 1 axially into a receiving cavity 12 and a liquid storage cavity 11. The separator 22 forms at least a partial liquid outlet channel 221 with a communicating opening, and the oil sealing member 21 is disposed in the receiving cavity 12.

[0030] Specifically, the separator 22 can be disposed within the mounting cavity. Along the axial direction, one side of the separator 22 is a liquid storage cavity 11 and the other side is a receiving cavity 12, meaning that a portion of the mounting cavity is the receiving cavity 12. The separator 22 seals the atomizing liquid within the liquid storage cavity 11, ensuring that the atomizing liquid can only flow from the liquid storage cavity 11 to the receiving cavity 12 through the liquid outlet channel 221 on the separator 22. The oil sealing element 21 is disposed within the receiving cavity 12, thus blocking the liquid outlet channel 221 on the separator 22, thereby blocking the opening of the liquid storage cavity 11. Therefore, by removing the oil sealing element 21 from the receiving cavity 12, the liquid outlet channel 221 and the opening are exposed, allowing the atomizing liquid to flow out of the liquid storage cavity 11.

[0031] Additionally, in some embodiments, the separator 22 may be a separate structural component detached from the oil cup. For example, the separator 22 may be part of the sealing assembly 2, and the separator 22 and the oil cup 1 are in sealing contact to seal and store the atomized liquid within the reservoir 11.

[0032] In some embodiments, the separator 22 may also be part of the oil cup 1. For example, the separator 22 may be a partition integrally formed within the oil cup 1.

[0033] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the separator 22 is also provided with a valve plate 222 corresponding to the liquid outlet channel 221, and the valve plate 222 is configured to open the liquid storage chamber 11 under the action of external force.

[0034] Specifically, a valve plate 222 corresponding to the liquid outlet channel 221 is also provided on the separator 22. Therefore, the oil sealing member 21 is provided in the receiving cavity 12 and can cover the valve plate 222. When the oil sealing member 21 is disassembled from the oil cup 1, the valve plate 222 is exposed. Then, the atomizing component is assembled into the receiving cavity 12. The liquid outlet channel 221 and the opening can be opened by the action of the atomizing component and the valve plate 222, so that the atomized liquid can flow from the liquid storage cavity 11 to the atomizing component.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the separator 22 is provided with a liquid outlet channel 221 and a corresponding valve plate 222. Thus, when the oil sealing component 21 is disassembled from the oil cup 1, the atomizing component is assembled and connected to the oil cup 1, and the atomizing component opens the corresponding valve, so that the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 can flow to the atomizing component through the liquid outlet channel 221.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the separator 22 is provided with two spaced-apart liquid outlet channels 221 and two corresponding valve plates 222. One liquid outlet channel 221 is used to guide the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 to the atomizing component, and the other liquid outlet channel 221 is used to cooperate with the gas return structure of the atomizing component so that the gas return structure can communicate with the opening of the liquid storage chamber 11 to balance the gas pressure in the liquid storage chamber 11.

[0037] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sealing assembly 2 includes a separator 22 and a support 23 disposed on the side of the separator 22 away from the valve plate 222. The support 23 is fixedly assembled with the oil cup 1. The separator 22 is supported by a soft rubber material. The separator 22 is in sealed contact with the oil cup 1 through the support 23.

[0038] Specifically, the separator 22 includes a main body portion covering the liquid storage cavity 11 and a sealing portion protruding from the main body portion and surrounding the periphery of the main body portion. The support member 23 is partially disposed on the side of the sealing portion of the separator 22 that is radially away from the oil cup 1, and the support member 23 is fixedly assembled to the oil cup 1. In this way, the sealing portion can be clamped between the support member 23 and the side wall of the oil cup 1, thereby achieving a sealed contact between the separator 22 and the oil cup 1.

[0039] For example, the separator 22 can be a silicone part, so that the separator 22 is in sealing contact with the oil cup 1.

[0040] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the support member 23 is made of a rigid material. For example, the support member 23 can be a rigid plastic or ceramic part. Thus, the support member 23 can be used as a support structure for the partition member 22, improving structural strength.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the support member 23 is snap-fitted to the oil cup 1.

[0042] Specifically, the support member 23 has a protrusion 231 protruding radially, and the oil cup 1 is provided with a corresponding groove 13 that matches the protrusion 231. By engaging the protrusion 231 with the groove 13, the support member 23 and the oil cup 1 can be fixedly assembled.

[0043] Furthermore, in some specific embodiments, the axial projection surface of the protrusion 231 of the support member 23 is larger than the axial projection surface of the sealing portion of the separator 22, so that the protrusion 231 of the support member 23 can axially support the side of the sealing portion of the separator 22 away from the liquid storage cavity 11, thus preventing the separator 22 from moving axially away from the liquid storage cavity 11. Additionally, the oil cup 1 is also provided with a vent pipe 16, which is arranged around the periphery of the liquid storage cavity 11. The vent pipe 16 defines the venting channel. The vent pipe 16 extends from the liquid storage section to the installation section and extends to the separator 22. Specifically, the separator 22 has a vent port 223, through which the vent pipe 16 passes, allowing the vent pipe 16 to communicate with the receiving cavity 12. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the vent pipe 16 in the liquid storage section is larger than the radius of the separator 22. This allows the portion of the vent pipe 16 in the liquid storage section and the separator 22 to support each other axially, thus preventing the separator 22 from moving axially towards the liquid storage section. In other words, the relative axial stability of the separator 22 and the oil cup 1 can be achieved through the support member 23 and the vent pipe 16.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the oil sealing member 21 has a sealing part 211, which is detachably disposed in the liquid outlet channel 221 to block the liquid outlet channel 221.

[0045] Specifically, a liquid outlet channel 221 is formed between the vent 223 structure of the separator 22 and the sealing part. The oil sealing member 21 has a blocking part 211 that passes through the liquid outlet channel 221. When the oil sealing member 21 is assembled into the oil cup 1, the blocking part 211 blocks the valve plate 222, preventing the atomized liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 from flowing into the receiving chamber 12 through the liquid outlet channel 221. When the oil sealing member 21 is separated from the oil cup 1, the blocking part 211 and the liquid outlet channel 221 separate, exposing the liquid outlet channel 221.

[0046] Furthermore, in some specific embodiments, the sealing assembly 2 also includes a sealing ring 24 corresponding to the sealing part 211, and the sealing element is clamped between the sealing part 211 and the liquid outlet channel 221, thereby improving the sealing performance of the liquid storage chamber 11.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a locking structure is provided between the oil sealing component 21 and the oil cup 1. The locking structure has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the oil cup 1 and the oil sealing component 21 can be detached and separated. In the locked state, the oil cup 1 and the oil sealing component 21 are fixedly connected.

[0048] Specifically, a locking structure is provided between the oil sealing component 21 and the oil cup 1. By locking and unlocking the locking structure, the oil sealing component 21 and the oil cup 1 can be separated or fixedly connected; that is, the locking structure enables a detachable connection between the oil sealing component 21 and the oil cup 1. When the oil sealing component 21 is assembled into the oil cup 1, it enables sealed storage of the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11, allowing for separate storage and transportation of the oil tank assembly. When the oil sealing component 21 is separated from the receiving cavity 12, the atomizing assembly can be assembled into the receiving cavity 12, connecting the atomizing assembly and the oil tank assembly for atomization.

[0049] In some embodiments, the latching structure is configured to undergo elastic deformation under external force to unlock the oil seal 21 and the oil cup 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the locking structure includes a first snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the oil cup 1 and a second snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the oil sealing member 21. In the locked state, the first snap-fit ​​structure is connected to the second snap-fit ​​structure.

[0051] Specifically, a first snap-fit ​​structure is provided in the oil cup 1, and a second snap-fit ​​structure is provided in the oil sealing component 21. When the locking structure is locked, the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure are connected to fix the oil cup 1 and the oil sealing component 21.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the second snap-fit ​​structure is disposed at the end of the oil sealing member 21 that is axially away from the sealing part 211. In this way, the fit between the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure will not affect the sealing part 211 from blocking the liquid outlet channel 221. In addition, the first snap-fit ​​structure is disposed in the mounting section of the oil cup 1, and the specific placement position is adjusted adaptively according to the placement of the second snap-fit ​​structure.

[0053] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap hole 14 or a snap protrusion 212; the second snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap protrusion 212 corresponding to the snap hole 14, or a snap hole 14 corresponding to the snap protrusion 212; in the locked state, the snap protrusion 212 snaps into the snap hole 14.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​hole 14 formed in the oil cup 1, and the second snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 212 protruding from the outside of the oil sealing member 21. Thus, by snapping the snap-fit ​​protrusion 212 into the snap-fit ​​hole 14, a fixed connection between the oil cup 1 and the oil sealing member 21 can be achieved.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 212 protruding from the inner side of the oil cup 1, and the second snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​hole 14 opened in the oil sealing member 21. Similarly, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 212 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole 14, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the oil cup 1 and the oil sealing member 21.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the oil sealing member 21 is also provided with a spring arm 213, and the second snap-fit ​​structure is provided on the spring arm 213.

[0057] Specifically, the second snap-fit ​​structure can be a snap-fit ​​protrusion 212 or a snap-fit ​​hole 14. The second snap-fit ​​structure and the elastic arm 213 are integrated. By pushing the elastic arm 213, the second snap-fit ​​structure and the first snap-fit ​​structure can be separated. In this way, the oil sealing part 21 and the oil cup 1 can be disassembled and separated to unlock. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, one end of the elastic arm 213 is a free end, the free end is provided with a pressing part 214, and the side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a clearance opening 15, the pressing part 214 is exposed to the outside of the oil cup 1 through the clearance opening 15.

[0059] Specifically, one end of the elastic arm 213 is a free end, and the other end is provided with a second locking structure. A clearance opening 15 is provided on the side wall of the mounting cavity of the oil cup 1, or specifically on the side wall of the receiving cavity 12. The end of the elastic arm 213 with the second locking structure is located inside the receiving cavity 12, while the free end of the elastic arm 213 is exposed outside the oil cup 1 through the clearance opening 15. This allows for convenient pressing by the user. The user can directly press the pressing part 214 of the free end to separate the second locking structure from the first locking structure; by releasing the pressing part 214, the second locking structure can be reset. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0060] For example, the side of the pressing part 214 exposed to the outside may be provided with an anti-slip structure, which can improve the reliability of pressing.

[0061] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sealing element 21 is made of a rigid material. For example, the sealing element 21 may be a plastic part.

[0062] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0063] The above is a description of the technical solution provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the idea of ​​the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
