Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer assembly and atomizing device. Background Technology

[0002] When the atomizing device is in use, the airflow sensor in the atomizer assembly can measure the user's inhalation action, thereby triggering the heating element in the atomizer assembly to heat the atomizing matrix to form an aerosol. The output of the aerosol is mainly determined by the working power of the atomizer assembly. The higher the working power of the atomizer assembly, the more aerosol is output, and the lower the working power of the atomizer assembly, the less aerosol is output.

[0003] However, in related technologies, the working power of atomizer components usually includes two modes: low power mode and high power mode. The modes are relatively fixed, and the output of aerosol is relatively fixed, which cannot meet the vaping needs of different users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides an atomizer assembly and an atomizing device to at least solve the problem that the atomization mode of the atomizer assembly in the related art is relatively fixed and the adjustment is too mechanical, which cannot meet the vaping needs of different users.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] This application provides an atomizer assembly, including a mouthpiece, a substrate, a sensor, and a distance sensor; the sensor and the distance sensor are both disposed close to the mouthpiece and are respectively connected to the substrate; the sensor is used to detect a signal that a user's lips are in contact with the mouthpiece, and the substrate is used to control the initial operation of the atomizer assembly according to the signal; the distance sensor is used to measure the inhalation distance, and the substrate is also used to adjust the operating power of the atomizer assembly according to the inhalation distance, wherein the inhalation distance refers to the distance between the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece and the substrate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the substrate is a circuit board, and the sensor and the distance sensor are connected to the same circuit board; or, the substrate includes two circuit boards, and the sensor and the distance sensor are connected to different circuit boards, wherein the suction distance refers to the distance between the position of the user's lips on the suction nozzle and the circuit board where the distance sensor is located.

[0008] In some embodiments, the suction distance is H, and the operating power of the atomizer assembly is P, wherein: when H satisfies: 17mm ≥ H > 11mm, P satisfies: 0W ≤ P < 13W; when H satisfies: 11mm ≥ H > 4mm, P satisfies: 13W ≤ P < 25W; when H satisfies: 4mm ≥ H > 0mm, P satisfies: 25W ≤ P < 50W.

[0009] In some embodiments, the ranging sensor is an infrared ranging sensor or a laser ranging sensor.

[0010] In some embodiments, the projection of the ranging sensor is located outside the projection of the mouthpiece along the height direction of the atomizer assembly.

[0011] In some embodiments, the atomizer assembly further includes a base; the substrate is fixed in the base, and the mouthpiece is connected to an end of the base along the height direction of the atomizer assembly.

[0012] In some embodiments, the atomizer assembly further includes a housing; the base is disposed within the housing, the housing includes a top plate, the top plate covers the base; the top plate has a first through hole and a second through hole extending through the top plate along the height direction of the atomizer assembly, the second through hole is disposed around the periphery of the first through hole, a portion of the mouthpiece passes through the first through hole and extends out of the housing, and light emitted by the ranging sensor is emitted through the second through hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are at least two ranging sensors, which are arranged symmetrically about the center of the substrate; the substrate is used to adjust the operating power of the atomizer assembly based on the average of at least two suction distances.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sensing element is detachably connected to the substrate; and / or, the ranging sensor is detachably connected to the substrate.

[0015] This application also provides an atomizing device, including an atomizer assembly as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0016] Compared with related technologies, the atomizer assembly and atomizing device described in this application have the following advantages:

[0017] The atomizer assembly of this application connects a sensor and a distance sensor to a substrate, enabling the substrate to control the initial operation of the atomizer assembly based on the signal detected by the sensor that the user's lips are in contact with the mouthpiece. The substrate can also adjust the operating power of the atomizer assembly based on the inhalation distance measured by the distance sensor. The operating power of the atomizer assembly affects the amount of aerosol output. If the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece changes, the operating power of the atomizer assembly can be adjusted, and the amount of aerosol output will be adjusted accordingly. This effectively enriches the usage modes of the atomizer assembly, allowing the aerosol output to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece. This improves upon the overly mechanical adjustment method of the atomization mode and helps the atomizer assembly meet the inhalation needs of different users.

[0018] In addition, in this embodiment, the atomizer assembly uses a sensor to detect the signal of the user's lips touching the mouthpiece. Both the sensor and the distance sensor are located close to the mouthpiece. If the user's lips touch the mouthpiece, the atomizer assembly can be quickly triggered to start working through the substrate. This helps to synchronize the signal of the atomizer assembly starting to work with the signal of the distance sensor measuring the distance, thereby helping to simplify the control method of the atomizer assembly and control its energy consumption.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or terminal device that includes said element.

[0030] The following detailed description of atomizer assembly and atomizing device provided in this application is illustrated with specific embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This application provides an atomizer assembly, including a mouthpiece 2, a substrate 3, a sensor 5, and a distance sensor 4. The sensor 5 and the distance sensor 4 are both disposed close to the mouthpiece 2 and are respectively connected to the substrate 3. The sensor 5 is used to detect the signal of the user's lips contacting the mouthpiece 2, and the substrate 3 is used to control the start-up operation of the atomizer assembly according to the signal. The distance sensor 4 is used to measure the inhalation distance, and the substrate 3 is also used to adjust the operating power of the atomizer assembly according to the inhalation distance. The inhalation distance refers to the distance between the position of the lips on the mouthpiece 2 and the substrate 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, substrate 3 is essentially a printed circuit board (PCB), which provides electrical connections and mechanical support for electronic components. Integrated circuits on the board enable the electrical connections of these components, thereby achieving various functions such as signal processing and power distribution. In this embodiment, substrate 3 plays a crucial control and coordination role in the overall operation and functionality of the atomizing device, enabling functions such as power control, temperature control, and inhalation duration control.

[0033] The sensor 5 and the distance sensor 4 are respectively connected to the substrate 3. The sensor 5 is used to detect the signal of the user's lips contacting the mouthpiece 2, and the distance sensor 4 is used to measure the suction distance, which refers to the distance between the position of the lips on the mouthpiece 2 and the substrate 3. It can be understood that when the user uses the atomizing device, part of the mouthpiece 2 will be held in the user's mouth, and the user's lips will cover part of the mouthpiece 2. Therefore, the position of the lips on the mouthpiece 2 refers to the position of the mouthpiece 2 covered by the lips. Figure 4 A partial cross-sectional view of an atomizer assembly according to an embodiment of this application is shown, with reference to... Figure 4 As shown, assume the user's lips are positioned on the mouthpiece 2 as follows: Figure 4 As shown in part A, the suction distance is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in H, H is the distance between part A and substrate 3, which usually refers to the shortest distance.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sensing element 5 can be a capacitive pressure sensor, electrically connected to the substrate 3. The capacitive pressure sensor can detect changes in capacitance when the user's lips contact the suction nozzle 2 and feed this change signal back to the substrate 3. The distance sensor 4 can be any sensor capable of distance measurement, such as an infrared distance sensor, laser distance sensor, ultrasonic distance sensor, capacitive distance sensor, or proximity sensor, and can feed back the measured suction distance to the substrate 3. This embodiment does not limit the specific types of the sensing element 5 and the distance sensor 4.

[0035] The substrate 3 is used to control the atomizer assembly to start working based on the signal detected by the sensor 5 of the user's lips contacting the mouthpiece 2. In other words, the substrate 3 is used to control the atomizer assembly to start or stop working based on the signal detected by the sensor 5 of the user's lips contacting the mouthpiece 2. Specifically, the atomizer assembly typically also includes a power module and a heating element, which are electrically connected to the substrate 3. When the atomizer assembly is in operation, the power module outputs power to the heating element, and the heating element begins to heat the atomizing matrix to form an aerosol. When the atomizer assembly is not in operation, the power module stops outputting power to the heating element, and the heating element cannot heat the atomizing matrix.

[0036] In this embodiment, the power module's output power to the heating element is controlled by the substrate 3. When the sensor 5 detects a signal that the user's lips are in contact with the mouthpiece 2, the substrate 3 controls the power module to output power to the heating element. If the sensor 5 does not detect a signal that the user's lips are in contact with the mouthpiece 2, the substrate 3 controls the power module not to output power to the heating element. Therefore, the atomizer assembly in this embodiment can only control the power module to start outputting power to the heating element when the user's lips are in contact with the mouthpiece 2, which helps to avoid dry burning of the heating element and improves the safety of the atomizer assembly.

[0037] It should be noted that the method by which the substrate 3 controls the atomizer assembly to start or stop working in the embodiments of this application is a common technical means in the field of atomization device control. The embodiments of this application can use any of the existing technologies to achieve control. This part does not involve the inventive point of this application. This application mainly focuses on triggering the substrate 3 to control the atomizer assembly to start or stop working by setting the sensor 5.

[0038] The substrate 3 is also used to adjust the working power of the atomizer assembly according to the suction distance measured by the ranging sensor 4. In conjunction with the above embodiments, the working power of the atomizer assembly is essentially the output power of the power module as the heating element, which is also controlled by the substrate 3. In other words, the substrate 3 can control and adjust the output power of the power module as the heating element. If the output power of the power module as the heating element is greater, the temperature of the heating element is higher, more heat is generated, and more atomizing matrix can be heated and atomized to form aerosol, resulting in a greater output of aerosol. If the output power of the power module as the heating element is smaller, the temperature of the heating element is lower, less heat is generated, and a relatively small amount of atomizing matrix can be heated and atomized to form aerosol, resulting in a smaller output of aerosol.

[0039] Therefore, in this embodiment, the substrate 3 can adjust the output amount of aerosol according to the suction distance. If the suction distance is short, it means that the user's lips are closer to the substrate 3, and the user is in a large-mouth suction state. In this case, the power module can be set to have a larger output power of the heating element to provide the user with more aerosol and meet the user's large-mouth suction needs. If the suction distance is long, it means that the user's lips are farther away from the substrate 3, and the user is in a small-mouth suction state. In this case, the power module can be set to have a smaller output power of the heating element to provide the user with less aerosol and meet the user's small-mouth suction needs.

[0040] In summary, the atomizer assembly of this application embodiment connects the sensor 5 and the distance sensor 4 to the substrate 3, enabling the substrate 3 to control the initial operation of the atomizer assembly based on the signal detected by the sensor 5 that the user's lips are in contact with the mouthpiece 2. The substrate 3 can also adjust the operating power of the atomizer assembly based on the inhalation distance measured by the distance sensor 4. The operating power of the atomizer assembly affects the amount of aerosol output. If the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2 changes, the operating power of the atomizer assembly can be adjusted, and the amount of aerosol output will be adjusted accordingly. This effectively enriches the usage modes of the atomizer assembly, allowing the aerosol output to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2, effectively improving the problem of overly mechanical adjustment methods. This allows the atomizer assembly to effectively meet the inhalation needs of different users.

[0041] Furthermore, in related technologies, atomizer components rely on airflow sensors to detect the user's inhalation action, triggering the heating element in the atomizer component to heat the atomizing matrix. The airflow sensor is typically located near the air inlet of the atomizer; it only generates a signal when it detects airflow at the inlet, triggering the heating element. However, in this embodiment, the distance sensor 4 is located near the mouthpiece 2. If the user's lips touch the mouthpiece 2, the distance sensor 4 can quickly measure the distance signal. Thus, using both an airflow sensor and the distance sensor 4 can easily lead to a missynchronization between the signal triggering the heating element and the distance signal, complicating the atomizer component's control and increasing energy consumption. Therefore, in this embodiment, the atomizer component uses a sensor 5 to detect the signal of the user's lips touching the mouthpiece 2. The sensor 5 is located near the mouthpiece 2. If the user's lips touch the mouthpiece 2, the heating element can be quickly triggered via the substrate 3, thus helping to synchronize the signal triggering the heating element with the distance signal, thereby simplifying the atomizer component's control and controlling its energy consumption.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the substrate 3 is a circuit board, and the sensing element 5 and the ranging sensor 4 are connected to the same circuit board. For example, see... Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of substrate 3 as a circuit board, with sensor 5 and distance sensor 4 connected to the same circuit board. Sensor 5 and distance sensor 4 are spaced apart, and distance sensor 4 is connected to the edge of the circuit board to avoid interference between their signal detection. This arrangement enables an integrated design of sensor 5 and distance sensor 4, helping to reduce the number of circuit boards, save space in the atomizer assembly, and control the overall cost of the atomizer assembly.

[0043] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this application, the substrate 3 includes two circuit boards, with the sensor 5 and the distance sensor 4 connected to different circuit boards. The suction distance refers to the distance between the user's lips on the suction nozzle 2 and the circuit board where the distance sensor 4 is located. This arrangement facilitates the installation and layout of the sensor 5 and the distance sensor 4, and also helps reduce the complexity of the circuit design on the two circuit boards.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the suction distance is H, and the operating power of the atomizer assembly is P, wherein: when H satisfies: 17mm≥H>11mm, P satisfies: 0W≤P<13W; when H satisfies: 11mm≥H>4mm, P satisfies: 13W≤P<25W; when H satisfies: 4mm≥H>0mm, P satisfies: 25W≤P<50W.

[0045] Based on the foregoing embodiments, assuming the suction distance is H and the operating power of the atomizer assembly is P, H and P can satisfy the following three matching modes:

[0046] In the first mode, when the suction distance H satisfies 17mm ≥ H > 11mm, it means that the distance between the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2 and the substrate 3 is relatively far, and the user is in a small-puff suction state. In this case, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly can be set to satisfy 0W ≤ P < 13W, and the atomizer assembly is in a low-power operating mode. When the suction distance H and the operating power P of the atomizer assembly satisfy the above conditions, the larger the suction distance H, the smaller the operating power P of the atomizer assembly; the smaller the suction distance H, the larger the operating power P of the atomizer assembly. That is, if the suction distance H is closer to 17mm, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly is closer to 0W, and the aerosol output is less; if the suction distance H is closer to 11mm, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly is closer to 13W, and the aerosol output is more. If the suction distance H = 17mm, the working power of the atomizer assembly P = 0W. In this case, it means that the user's lips may only touch the edge of the mouthpiece 2 and cannot perform a suction action. Therefore, the working power of the atomizer assembly is 0W and the atomizer assembly does not output aerosol.

[0047] In the second mode, when the suction distance H satisfies 11mm ≥ H > 4mm, it means that the distance between the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2 and the substrate 3 is moderate, and the user is in a normal suction state. In this case, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly on the substrate 3 can be set to satisfy 13W ≤ P < 25W, and the atomizer assembly is in normal power operation mode. Similarly, when the suction distance H and the operating power P of the atomizer assembly satisfy the above conditions, the larger the suction distance H, the smaller the operating power P of the atomizer assembly; the smaller the suction distance H, the larger the operating power P of the atomizer assembly. That is, if the suction distance H is closer to 11mm, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly is closer to 13W, and the aerosol output is less; if the suction distance H is closer to 4mm, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly is closer to 25W, and the aerosol output is more.

[0048] In the third mode, when the suction distance H satisfies 4mm ≥ H > 0mm, it means that the distance between the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2 and the substrate 3 is relatively close, and the user is in a large-inhale state. In this case, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly on the substrate 3 can be set to satisfy 25W ≤ P < 50W, and the atomizer assembly is in a high-power operating mode. Similarly, when the suction distance H and the operating power P of the atomizer assembly satisfy the above conditions, the larger the suction distance H, the smaller the operating power P of the atomizer assembly; the smaller the suction distance H, the larger the operating power P of the atomizer assembly. That is, if the suction distance H is closer to 4mm, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly is closer to 25W, and the aerosol output is less; if the suction distance H is closer to 0mm, the operating power P of the atomizer assembly is closer to 50W, and the aerosol output is more.

[0049] Therefore, the atomizer assembly of this application embodiment is configured with three ranges of inhalation distance, corresponding to the user's small inhalation state, normal inhalation state, and large inhalation state, respectively. At the same time, the atomizer assembly is configured with three ranges of operating power, each range of operating power corresponding to a range of inhalation distance. This allows the atomizer assembly to measure whether the user is in a small inhalation state, a normal inhalation state, or a large inhalation state, and then provide the user with different aerosol output according to different inhalation states, effectively meeting the user's inhalation needs.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the ranging sensor 4 is an infrared ranging sensor or a laser ranging sensor.

[0051] Infrared and laser rangefinders are both light-based rangefinders. They measure distance by emitting specific light rays and utilizing the characteristics of light propagation. Infrared rangefinders calculate the distance between the object and the sensor by emitting infrared light and measuring the time it takes for the light to travel from emission to reflection. They offer advantages such as low cost, low power consumption, and strong anti-interference capabilities. Laser rangefinders emit laser pulses towards the target and calculate the distance by measuring the time interval between emission, reflection, and reception. They offer advantages such as high measurement accuracy, fast response, and wide range.

[0052] The ranging sensor 4 in this embodiment uses an infrared ranging sensor or a laser ranging sensor, which helps to ensure the measurement accuracy of the ranging sensor 4 while controlling the overall cost of the atomizer assembly.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, along the height direction of the atomizer assembly, the projection of the ranging sensor 4 is located outside the projection of the mouthpiece 2. Wherein, the height direction of the atomizer assembly is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the Z direction, the projection of the ranging sensor 4 is outside the projection of the nozzle 2, which means that the ranging sensor 4 and the nozzle 2 are offset in the width direction of the base 1, and the width direction of the base 1 is nearly perpendicular to the Z direction.

[0054] In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiments, the ranging sensor 4 is a light-type sensor such as an infrared ranging sensor or a laser ranging sensor. The ranging sensor 4 and the suction nozzle 2 are offset in the width direction of the base 1 to avoid the suction nozzle 2 blocking the light emitted by the ranging sensor 4. This allows the light emitted by the ranging sensor 4 to be emitted smoothly, enabling the ranging sensor 4 to accurately measure the position of the user's lips on the suction nozzle 2 and improve the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizer assembly further includes a base 1; a substrate 3 is fixed inside the base 1, and a mouthpiece 2 is connected to the end of the base 1 along the height direction of the atomizer assembly.

[0056] In conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, the height direction of the atomizer assembly is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the Z direction, the suction nozzle 2 is connected to the end of the base 1 along the Z direction. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a seat 1 according to an embodiment of this application is shown, with reference to... Figure 3As shown, the base 1 has a protrusion and a slot for engaging. The bottom of the nozzle 2 has a slot that matches the protrusion on the base 1, or a protrusion that matches the slot on the base 1. The nozzle 2 and the base 1 are detachably connected through the engaging action of the protrusion and the slot. This design is simple, easy to connect, and facilitates the disassembly and separation of the nozzle 2 from the base 1, thus enabling maintenance and repair of other components within the base 1.

[0057] The substrate 3 is fixed inside the base 1, as exemplarily, see reference. Figure 3 As shown, the seat 1 is provided with a first limiting part 11, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, the substrate 3 is provided with a second limiting portion 31, and the first limiting portion 11 is connected to the second limiting portion 31. One of the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 31 can be a protrusion, and the other can be a groove. Figure 2 The second limiting part 31 is shown as a groove. Figure 3 The first limiting part 11 is shown to be a protrusion. The cooperation between the groove and the protrusion realizes the limiting and fixing of the substrate 3 in the base body 1, which helps to improve the installation stability of the substrate 3 in the base body 1, thereby improving the stability of the ranging sensor 4 and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizer assembly further includes a housing 6; Figure 5 A schematic diagram of an atomizer assembly including a housing 6 is shown in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, the base 1 is located inside the outer shell 6. The outer shell 6 includes a top plate 61, which covers the base 1. The top plate 61 is provided with a first through hole 611 and a second through hole 612 that penetrate the top plate 61 along the Z direction. The second through hole 612 is located on the periphery of the first through hole 611. A portion of the suction nozzle 2 passes through the first through hole 611 and extends out of the outer shell 6. The light emitted by the ranging sensor 4 is emitted through the second through hole 612.

[0059] In this embodiment, the base 1 is disposed inside the outer shell 6, and the outer shell 6 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The fixed connection between the outer shell 6 and the base 1 can be achieved through limiting snap-fit, assembly connection, or other methods. The specific connection method is not limited in this embodiment. The outer shell 6 encloses the base 1 inside it. The outer shell 6 can be made of any one or more of metal, alloy, plastic, ceramic, and composite materials. It can fix and protect the base 1 and other components inside, preventing damage to the internal components from external impacts, dust, liquids, etc., thereby extending the service life of the atomizer assembly. At the same time, it can enhance the aesthetics of the atomizer assembly and provide users with a comfortable grip experience.

[0060] The outer casing 6 includes a top plate 61, located at the end of the outer casing 6 along the Z direction. The top plate 61 covers the base 1. The top plate 61 has a first through hole 611 and a second through hole 612 extending through the top plate 61 along the Z direction. The size of the first through hole 611 is larger than the size of the second through hole 612. A portion of the suction nozzle 2 passes through the first through hole 611 and extends outside the outer casing 6. The portion of the suction nozzle 2 extending outside the outer casing 6 can be contacted by the user's lips to achieve a suction action. In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment, along the Z direction, the projection of the ranging sensor 4 is located outside the projection of the suction nozzle 2. At the same time, the second through hole 612 is located on the periphery of the first through hole 611. The position of the second through hole 612 corresponds to the position of the ranging sensor 4, so that the light emitted by the ranging sensor 4 can be emitted through the second through hole 612.

[0061] In this embodiment, a second through hole 612 is provided on the outer shell 6 to prevent the outer shell 6 from blocking the light emitted by the distance sensor 4, thereby facilitating the smooth emission of the light emitted by the distance sensor 4. This allows the distance sensor 4 to accurately measure the position of the user's lips on the suction nozzle 2, improving the accuracy of the measurement results. In addition, the second through hole 612 also constrains the light emitted by the distance sensor 4, helping to focus scattered light and direct it in a specific direction, further improving the measurement effect.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, at least two ranging sensors 4 are provided, and the at least two ranging sensors 4 are arranged symmetrically about the center of the substrate 3; the substrate 3 is used to adjust the operating power of the atomizer assembly based on the average of at least two suction distances.

[0063] In this embodiment, the number of ranging sensors 4 can be two, three, or more. The two or more ranging sensors 4 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the substrate 3. If the substrate 3 is a rectangular plate, the center of the substrate 3 is approximately at the intersection of the two diagonals of the rectangular plate. If the substrate 3 is a circular plate, the center of the substrate 3 is approximately at the center of the circular plate. If the substrate 3 is a polygonal plate, the center of the substrate 3 is approximately at the intersection of the midlines of the sides of the polygonal plate. Other shapes of the substrate 3 will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0064] In some scenarios, when a user uses the atomizing device, the mouthpiece 2 may be tilted and placed inside the user's mouth. This can result in significant differences in the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2 on opposite sides. If only a distance sensor 4 is installed on one side, a large measurement error will occur, affecting the accuracy of the measurement results. Therefore, in this embodiment, two or more distance sensors 4 are arranged symmetrically about the center of the substrate 3. Both distance sensors 4 measure to obtain two or more suction distances. The substrate 3 adjusts the operating power of the atomizer assembly based on the average of the two or more suction distances.

[0065] For example, two distance sensors 4 are set up, which are symmetrically arranged about the center of the substrate 3. When the mouthpiece 2 is tilted and held in the user's mouth, the suction distance measured by one of the two distance sensors 4 will be relatively large, and the suction distance measured by the other will be relatively small. Both suction distances are fed back to the substrate 3. The substrate 3 can process and calculate the average value of the two suction distances, and adjust the working power of the atomizer assembly according to the average value. In this way, the influence of measurement error is reduced and the accuracy of measurement results is improved.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the ranging sensor 4 is detachably connected to the substrate 3. This detachable connection requires consideration of electrical stability, mechanical reliability, and ease of assembly and disassembly. For example, pin headers can be soldered onto the substrate 3, and corresponding pin slots can be integrated on the ranging sensor 4, allowing for electrical and detachable connection between the ranging sensor 4 and the substrate 3 through insertion and removal. Alternatively, spring-loaded pins can be provided on the substrate 3, and corresponding metal contacts can be provided on the ranging sensor 4, allowing for electrical and detachable connection between the ranging sensor 4 and the substrate 3 through spring pressure. The embodiments of this application provide a detachable connection between the ranging sensor 4 and the substrate 3 to facilitate disassembly and maintenance of the ranging sensor 4 in case of malfunction.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the sensing element 5 is detachably connected to the substrate 3. Similarly, the detachable connection between the sensing element 5 and the substrate 3 needs to balance electrical stability, mechanical reliability, and ease of assembly and disassembly. Exemplarily, the sensing element 5 and the substrate 3 can also be detachably connected via a pin header groove or a spring-loaded pin.

[0068] This application also provides an atomizing device, which includes an atomizer assembly. The atomizer assembly further includes an atomizing core, a liquid guide, and a liquid reservoir. The liquid guide delivers the atomizing matrix stored in the liquid reservoir to the heating element and the atomizing core. The heating element heats and atomizes the atomizing matrix adsorbed by the atomizing core to form an aerosol. The aerosol is then inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece 2. The atomizing device also includes a power supply assembly, which provides stable and controllable electrical energy to the atomizer assembly to ensure its normal operation. The atomizer assembly used in any of the foregoing embodiments helps to enrich the usage modes of the atomizing device, allowing the aerosol output to be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the user's lips on the mouthpiece 2, thereby enabling the atomizing device to effectively meet the inhalation needs of different users.
