Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to a material storage component, an atomization device, and an aerosol generation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette smoke contains harmful substances such as tar, and long-term inhalation of these substances can cause significant harm to the human body. To overcome the harmful effects of cigarette combustion, low-hazard aerosol generation devices have emerged. Their core principle is to heat and atomize the aerosol-generating matrix using an atomizing device, forming an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. The performance of the atomizing device directly affects the taste, user experience, and safety of the aerosol.

[0003] However, most traditional aerosol generators use a passive e-liquid supply method, where the atomizer coil relies on a continuous supply of e-liquid from the surrounding e-liquid reservoir. This method lacks control over e-liquid output; the coil's supply depends on the constant e-liquid supply from the surrounding reservoir, regardless of whether the coil is in operation. This can easily lead to leakage. Secondly, the high temperature of the atomizer coil can easily transfer heat to the surrounding reservoir, affecting the quality of unused e-liquid. Furthermore, as the e-liquid in the reservoir gradually decreases with use, insufficient e-liquid supply may occur, leading to problems such as dry burning.

[0004] The above information disclosed in the background art of this application is only for understanding the background of the concept of this application, and does not indicate or imply that it includes information of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a material storage component, an atomizing device, and an aerosol generating equipment to address the above problems.

[0006] A material storage assembly comprising:

[0007] A deformable structure, wherein the deformable structure has a hollow interior forming a storage cavity for loading an aerosol generation matrix, and the deformable structure also has a passage hole communicating with the storage cavity; and

[0008] A sealing element, the sealing element being detachably and sealingly connected to the material passage hole;

[0009] Wherein, when the seal is separated from the feed hole, the feed hole is used to allow the aerosol generating matrix to pass through and be loaded into the storage cavity, and / or the feed hole is used to connect with the conveying assembly to convey the aerosol generating matrix in the storage cavity to the atomizing assembly.

[0010] The aforementioned storage assembly achieves at least the following beneficial effects: The removable seal of the feed orifice ensures the airtightness of the storage chamber, preventing leakage or contamination of the aerosol generation matrix within the chamber. When the seal is separated from the feed orifice (i.e., when the feed orifice is not blocked), it can be used for either filling or connecting to a delivery assembly to supply the aerosol generation matrix to the atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly atomizes the aerosol generation matrix to form an aerosol that the user can inhale. The deformable structure elastically deforms according to the amount of aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber, dynamically adjusting the chamber's capacity to prevent excessive negative pressure and ensure a stable and sufficient oil supply to the atomizing assembly, avoiding dry burning due to insufficient oil supply. When the amount of aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber decreases, the deformable structure contracts inward, reducing the chamber's capacity; when the amount of aerosol generation matrix increases, the deformable structure expands outward, increasing the chamber's capacity. This dynamic adjustment function allows the storage assembly to adapt to different quantities of aerosol-generating matrix, ensuring that the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber can be supplied smoothly and adequately from the outlet. Understandably, as the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber gradually decreases, the elastic deformation of the deformable structure can balance the pressure within the storage chamber. If the deformable structure does not contract inward to reduce the capacity of the storage chamber, a vacuum negative pressure area will form inside, affecting the smooth supply of aerosol-generating matrix from the outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the storage assembly further includes a housing with a hollow interior forming a receiving cavity. The housing has a vent and a through hole communicating with the receiving cavity. The deformable structure is disposed within the receiving cavity. The through hole corresponds to and communicates with the material passage hole. The sealing element is detachably sealed to the material passage hole and the through hole. The housing provides support and protection for the deformable structure, preventing accidental deformation or damage due to external pressure or impact, ensuring the integrity of the storage cavity. The through hole is aligned with the material passage hole, allowing the sealing element to simultaneously seal both the material passage hole and the through hole, preventing leakage of the aerosol generation matrix or the entry of external contaminants. The vent design balances the air pressure inside and outside the housing, preventing excessive internal negative or positive pressure due to deformation of the deformable structure, ensuring smooth delivery of the aerosol generation matrix.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber increases, the deformable structure can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber to increase the capacity of the storage chamber and squeeze the gas in the accommodating cavity out through the vent to maintain the air pressure balance between the storage chamber and the outside. When the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber decreases, the deformable structure can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber to decrease the capacity of the storage chamber. The accommodating cavity can receive gas from the outside through the vent to maintain the air pressure balance between the storage chamber and the outside. When the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber increases, the deformable structure can expand outward according to the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber to increase the capacity of the storage chamber. During this process, the gas inside the storage chamber can be discharged through the vent, thus maintaining the pressure balance between the storage chamber and the outside environment. This design avoids the problem of pressure rise caused by an increase in the aerosol generating matrix, ensuring stable pressure inside the device. When the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber decreases, the deformable structure can contract inward according to the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber to reduce the capacity of the storage chamber. During this process, the storage chamber can receive gas from the outside environment through the vent, thus maintaining the pressure balance between the storage chamber and the outside environment. This design avoids the problem of negative pressure caused by a decrease in the aerosol generating matrix, ensuring stable pressure inside the device.

[0013] In some embodiments, the housing includes a bottom cover and a shell detachably connected to the bottom cover. The shell and the bottom cover together form the receiving cavity. The shell or the bottom cover has a through hole, and at least one of the shell and the bottom cover has a vent. The detachable connection between the bottom cover and the shell facilitates assembly during manufacturing and allows for easy disassembly of the bottom cover later, thereby facilitating maintenance of internal components such as deformable structures.

[0014] In some embodiments, the periphery of the bottom cover is provided with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions at intervals, and the housing is provided with a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions at intervals. The bottom cover engages with the housing by the plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions and the plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions.

[0015] In some embodiments, a limiting portion is formed on the bottom cover, and a clamping portion is formed on the outer surface of the deformable structure. The clamping portion is fixedly clamped between the housing and the limiting portion to restrict the movement of the deformable structure, thereby fixing the relative position of the feed hole and the through hole. When the housing and the bottom cover are assembled, the clamping portion is pressed and fixed between the inner wall of the housing and the limiting portion to restrict the displacement of the deformable structure within the accommodating cavity, thereby ensuring that the feed hole and the through hole remain precisely aligned, preventing the deformable structure from moving freely within the accommodating cavity, avoiding misalignment of the feed hole and the through hole, and ensuring stable delivery of the aerosol generation matrix.

[0016] In some embodiments, the outer shell is a transparent shell. A transparent shell makes the internal structure and material state visible, allowing users to monitor the inventory of the aerosol generation matrix in real time.

[0017] In some embodiments, the deformable structure is a flexible membrane.

[0018] This application also provides an atomizing device, which includes an atomizing component, a feeding component, and a feeding component as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0019] The aforementioned atomizing device may contain the storage assembly described in the above embodiments. Therefore, the atomizing device also has at least the following beneficial effects: the sealing element of the storage assembly can detachably seal the feed hole, ensuring the airtightness of the storage chamber and preventing leakage or contamination of the aerosol generation matrix within the storage chamber. When the sealing element is separated from the feed hole, i.e., when the feed hole is not blocked by the sealing element, the feed hole can be used for either filling or connecting to a conveying assembly to deliver the aerosol generation matrix to the atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly can atomize the aerosol generation matrix to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. The deformable structure can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber, dynamically adjusting the capacity of the storage chamber, avoiding excessive negative pressure in the storage chamber, ensuring a stable and sufficient oil supply to the atomizing assembly, and preventing dry burning due to insufficient oil supply. When the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber decreases, the deformable structure contracts inward, reducing the capacity of the storage chamber; conversely, when the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber increases, the deformable structure expands outward, increasing the capacity of the storage chamber. This dynamic adjustment function allows the storage assembly to adapt to different amounts of aerosol-generating matrix, ensuring that the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber can be supplied sufficiently and smoothly from the outlet. Understandably, as the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber gradually decreases, the elastic deformation of the deformable structure can balance the pressure within the storage chamber. If the deformable structure does not contract inward to reduce the capacity of the storage chamber, a vacuum negative pressure area will form inside the storage chamber, affecting the smooth supply of aerosol-generating matrix from the outlet.

[0020] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly includes a pipe and a pump body connected to the pipe. When the seal is separated from the feed hole, one end of the pipe can communicate with the storage chamber through the feed hole, and the other end of the pipe can communicate with the atomizing assembly. The pipe can actively feed material to the atomizing assembly under the drive of the pump body.

[0021] In some embodiments, the pump body is disposed between the storage component and the atomizing component, the atomizing component includes an oil storage cotton and an atomizing core disposed within the oil storage cotton, and one end of the pipe is inserted into the oil storage cotton and can actively supply oil to the oil storage cotton under the drive of the pump body.

[0022] In some embodiments, the pump body has a first operating state and a second operating state. In the first operating state, the pipeline is isolated by the pump body to stop the pipeline from actively supplying oil to the atomizing component. In the second operating state, the storage chamber can be connected to the atomizing component through the pipeline, and the pipeline can actively supply oil to the atomizing component under the drive of the pump body.

[0023] In some embodiments, the pipeline is a flexible tube, and the pump body is any one of a peristaltic pump, a diaphragm pump, or a screw pump. Taking a peristaltic pump as an example, the core components of the peristaltic pump may include a flexible tube and rollers. The flexible tube is installed inside the pump body, and the rollers squeeze the pipeline by rotating, pushing the liquid inside the pipeline to flow. The peristaltic pump can precisely control the flow rate of the aerosol generation matrix in the pipeline by adjusting the squeezing frequency or the roller speed. When the rollers rotate, they squeeze the flexible tubes sequentially, forming a closed liquid chamber. As the rollers continue to rotate, the squeezed pipeline gradually returns to its original shape, generating negative pressure and drawing in liquid. When the rollers rotate to their highest point, they completely squeeze the pipeline, cutting off the liquid flow path, thereby achieving pipeline isolation. This effectively prevents the backflow of the aerosol generation matrix near the atomizing component, ensuring the reliability of unidirectional delivery and avoiding contamination of the aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber. The peristaltic pump delivers the aerosol generation matrix by squeezing the flexible tube, and the aerosol generation matrix only contacts the inner wall of the pipeline, ensuring the purity of the delivered aerosol generation matrix.

[0024] This application also provides an aerosol generating device, which includes a power supply device and an atomizing device as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the power supply device is capable of supplying power to the atomizing device.

[0025] The aforementioned aerosol generating equipment may include the atomizing device described in the above embodiments. Therefore, the aerosol generating equipment also has at least the following beneficial effects: the sealing element of the storage component can detachably seal the feed hole, ensuring the airtightness of the storage chamber and preventing leakage or contamination of the aerosol generating matrix within the storage chamber. When the sealing element is separated from the feed hole, i.e., when the feed hole is not blocked by the sealing element, the feed hole can be used for either filling or connecting to the conveying component to deliver the aerosol generating matrix to the atomizing component. The atomizing component can atomize the aerosol generating matrix to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. The deformable structure can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber, dynamically adjusting the capacity of the storage chamber, avoiding excessive negative pressure in the storage chamber, ensuring a stable and sufficient oil supply to the atomizing component, and preventing dry burning due to insufficient oil supply. When the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber decreases, the deformable structure contracts inward, reducing the capacity of the storage chamber; conversely, when the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber increases, the deformable structure expands outward, increasing the capacity of the storage chamber. This dynamic adjustment function allows the storage assembly to adapt to different amounts of aerosol-generating matrix, ensuring that the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber can be supplied sufficiently and smoothly from the outlet. Understandably, as the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber gradually decreases, the elastic deformation of the deformable structure can balance the pressure within the storage chamber. If the deformable structure does not contract inward to reduce the capacity of the storage chamber, a vacuum negative pressure area will form inside the storage chamber, affecting the smooth supply of aerosol-generating matrix from the outlet.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 7In some embodiments, this application provides a storage assembly 300, which includes a deformable structure 310 and a sealing member 320. The deformable structure 310 has a hollow interior forming a storage cavity 311 for loading an aerosol generating matrix. The deformable structure 310 also has a passage hole 312 communicating with the storage cavity 311. The sealing member 320 is detachably and sealingly connected to the passage hole 312. When the sealing member 320 is separated from the passage hole 312, the passage hole 312 allows the aerosol generating matrix to pass through and be loaded into the storage cavity 311, and / or the passage hole 312 is used to connect with a conveying assembly to convey the aerosol generating matrix in the storage cavity 311 to the atomizing assembly 100. The deformable structure 310 is made of materials including but not limited to flexible membranes, and the aerosol generating matrix can be a material that can be atomized under certain conditions to provide aerosol components, such as one or more of e-liquid, e-liquid, tobacco derivatives or tobacco substitutes.

[0039] The aforementioned storage assembly 300 achieves at least the following beneficial effects: the seal 320 detachably seals the feed hole 312, ensuring the airtightness of the storage chamber 311 and preventing leakage or contamination of the aerosol generation matrix within the storage chamber 311. When the seal 320 is separated from the feed hole 312, i.e., when the feed hole 312 is not blocked by the seal 320, the feed hole 312 can be used for either filling or connecting to a delivery assembly to deliver the aerosol generation matrix to the atomizing assembly 100. The atomizing assembly 100 can atomize the aerosol generation matrix to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. The deformable structure 310 can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber 311, dynamically adjusting the capacity of the storage chamber 311, avoiding excessive negative pressure within the storage chamber 311, ensuring a stable and sufficient oil supply to the atomizing assembly 100, and preventing dry burning due to insufficient oil supply. When the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 decreases, the deformable structure 310 contracts inward, reducing the capacity of the storage chamber 311; when the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 increases, the deformable structure 310 expands outward, increasing the capacity of the storage chamber 311. This dynamic adjustment function allows the storage assembly 300 to adapt to different amounts of aerosol-generating matrix, ensuring that the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 can be supplied sufficiently and smoothly from the outlet. Understandably, as the aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 gradually decreases, the elastic deformation of the deformable structure 310 can balance the pressure inside the storage chamber 311. If the deformable structure 310 does not contract inward to reduce the capacity of the storage chamber 311, a vacuum negative pressure area will form inside the storage chamber 311, affecting the smooth supply of the aerosol-generating matrix from the outlet.

[0040] like Figure 4 , Figure 5, Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage assembly 300 further includes a housing 330, the housing 330 having a hollow interior forming a receiving cavity 334, and the housing 330 having a vent 352 and a through hole 333 communicating with the receiving cavity 334. The deformable structure 310 is disposed within the receiving cavity 334, the through hole 333 corresponding to and communicating with the material passage 312, and the sealing member 320 being detachably and sealingly connected to the material passage 312 and the through hole 333. The housing 330 provides support and protection for the deformable structure 310, preventing it from being accidentally deformed or damaged due to external pressure or collision, ensuring the integrity of the storage cavity 311. The through hole 333 is aligned with the material passage 312, allowing the sealing member 320 to simultaneously seal the material passage 312 and the through hole 333, preventing leakage of the aerosol generation matrix or the entry of external contaminants. The design of the vent 352 can balance the air pressure inside and outside the outer shell 330, and avoid excessive negative or positive pressure inside due to the deformation of the deformable structure 310, thus ensuring smooth delivery of the aerosol generation matrix.

[0041] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, when the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 increases, the deformable structure 310 can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 to increase the capacity of the storage chamber 311 and squeeze the gas in the receiving cavity 334 out through the vent 352 to maintain the air pressure balance between the storage chamber 311 and the outside. When the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 decreases, the deformable structure 310 can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 to decrease the capacity of the storage chamber 311. The receiving cavity 334 can receive gas from the outside through the vent 352 to maintain the air pressure balance between the storage chamber 311 and the outside. When the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 increases, the deformable structure 310 expands outward according to the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 to increase the capacity of the storage chamber 311. During this process, the gas in the receiving chamber 334 can be discharged through the vent 352, thereby maintaining the pressure balance between the storage chamber 311 and the outside. This design avoids the problem of pressure rise caused by the increase of aerosol-generating matrix, ensuring the pressure stability inside the device. When the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 decreases, the deformable structure 310 contracts inward according to the amount of aerosol-generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 to reduce the capacity of the storage chamber 311. During this process, the receiving chamber 334 can receive gas from the outside through the vent 352, thereby maintaining the pressure balance between the storage chamber 311 and the outside. This design avoids the problem of negative pressure caused by the decrease of aerosol-generating matrix, ensuring the pressure stability inside the device.

[0042] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer casing 330 includes a bottom cover 332 and a housing 331 detachably connected to the bottom cover 332. The housing 331 and the bottom cover 332 enclose the accommodating cavity 334. The housing 331 or the bottom cover 332 has a through hole 333, and at least one of the housing 331 and the bottom cover 332 has a vent hole 352. The detachable connection between the bottom cover 332 and the housing 331 facilitates assembly during manufacturing and allows for easy disassembly of the bottom cover 332 later, thereby facilitating maintenance of internal components such as the deformable structure 310.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the periphery of the bottom cover 332 is provided with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions 341 at intervals, and the housing 331 is provided with a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 342 at intervals. The bottom cover 332 is engaged with the housing 331 by the plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions 341 and the plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 342.

[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting portion 353 is formed on the bottom cover 332, and a clamping portion 313 is formed on the outer surface of the deformable structure 310. The clamping portion 313 is fixedly clamped between the housing 331 and the limiting portion 353 to restrict the movement of the deformable structure 310, thereby fixing the relative position of the feed hole 312 and the through hole 333. When the housing 331 and the bottom cover 332 are assembled, the clamping portion 313 is pressed and fixed between the inner wall of the housing 331 and the limiting portion 353 to restrict the displacement of the deformable structure 310 in the accommodating cavity 334, thereby ensuring that the feed hole 312 and the through hole 333 are precisely aligned, that is, preventing the deformable structure 310 from moving freely in the accommodating cavity 334, avoiding misalignment of the feed hole 312 and the through hole 333, and ensuring stable delivery of the aerosol generation matrix.

[0045] In some embodiments, the housing 330 may be a transparent housing. A transparent housing 330 facilitates real-time monitoring of the aerosol generation matrix by the user.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides an atomizing device 11, which includes an atomizing component 100, a feeding component 200, and a feeding component 300 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0047] The atomizing device 11 described above may contain the storage component 300 as described in the above embodiments. Therefore, the atomizing device 11 also has at least the following beneficial effects: the sealing element 320 of the storage component 300 can detachably seal the feed hole 312, which can ensure the airtightness of the storage chamber 311 and prevent leakage or contamination of the aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber 311. When the sealing element 320 is separated from the feed hole 312, that is, when the feed hole 312 is not blocked by the sealing element 320, the feed hole 312 can be selected for filling material or connected to the conveying component to deliver the aerosol generation matrix to the atomizing component 100. The atomizing component 100 can atomize the aerosol generation matrix to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. The deformable structure 310 can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311, dynamically adjusting the capacity of the storage chamber 311. This prevents excessive negative pressure within the storage chamber 311, ensuring a stable and sufficient oil supply to the atomizing component 100 and avoiding dry burning due to insufficient oil supply. When the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 decreases, the deformable structure 310 contracts inward, reducing the capacity of the storage chamber 311; when the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 increases, the deformable structure 310 expands outward, increasing the capacity of the storage chamber 311. This dynamic adjustment function allows the storage component 300 to adapt to different amounts of aerosol generating matrix, ensuring that the aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 can be supplied fully and smoothly from the outlet. Understandably, as the aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 gradually decreases, the elastic deformation of the deformable structure 310 can balance the pressure inside the storage chamber 311. If the deformable structure 310 does not contract into the storage chamber 311 to reduce its capacity, a vacuum negative pressure area will be formed inside the storage chamber 311, affecting the smooth supply of the aerosol generating matrix from the outlet.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding assembly 200 includes a pipe 210 and a pump body 220 connected to the pipe 210. When the seal 320 is separated from the feed hole 312, one end of the pipe 210 can communicate with the storage chamber 311 through the feed hole 312, and the other end of the pipe 210 can communicate with the atomizing assembly 100. The pipe 210 can actively feed material to the atomizing assembly 100 under the drive of the pump body 220.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the pump body 220 is disposed between the storage assembly 300 and the atomizing assembly 100. The atomizing assembly 100 includes an oil-retaining cotton 110 and an atomizing core 120 disposed within the oil-retaining cotton 110. One end of the pipe 210 is inserted into the oil-retaining cotton 110 and can actively supply oil to the oil-retaining cotton 110 under the drive of the pump body 220. The pump body 220 has a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the pipe 210 is isolated by the pump body 220 to stop the active supply of oil from the pipe 210 to the atomizing assembly 100. In the second working state, the storage chamber 311 can communicate with the atomizing assembly 100 through the pipe 210, and the pipe 210 can actively supply oil to the atomizing assembly 100 under the drive of the pump body 220.

[0050] In some embodiments, the pipe 210 is a flexible pipe, and the pump body 220 is any one of a peristaltic pump, a diaphragm pump, or a screw pump. Taking the pump body 220 as a peristaltic pump as an example, the core components of the peristaltic pump may include a flexible pipe and a roller. The flexible pipe is installed inside the pump body 220, and the roller squeezes the pipe 210 by rotating, pushing the liquid flow within the pipe 210. The peristaltic pump can precisely control the flow rate of the aerosol generation matrix within the pipe 210 by adjusting the squeezing frequency or the roller speed. When the roller rotates, it squeezes the flexible pipe in sequence, forming a closed liquid chamber. As the roller continues to rotate, the squeezed pipe 210 gradually returns to its original shape, generating negative pressure and drawing in liquid. When the roller rotates to its highest point, it completely squeezes the pipe 210, cutting off the liquid flow path, thereby isolating the pipe 210. This effectively prevents the backflow of the aerosol generation matrix near the atomizing component 100, ensuring the reliability of unidirectional delivery and avoiding contamination of the aerosol generation matrix in the storage chamber 311. The peristaltic pump delivers the aerosol generation matrix by squeezing a flexible tube. The aerosol generation matrix only contacts the inner wall of the pipe 210, ensuring the purity of the delivered aerosol generation matrix.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides an aerosol generating device 10, which includes a power supply device and an atomizing device 11 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the power supply device is capable of supplying power to the atomizing device 11.

[0052] The aforementioned aerosol generating device 10 may include the atomizing device 11 described in the above embodiments. Therefore, the aerosol generating device 10 also has at least the following beneficial effects: the sealing element 320 of the storage component 300 can detachably seal the material passage 312, ensuring the airtightness of the storage chamber 311 and preventing leakage or contamination of the aerosol generating matrix within the storage chamber 311. When the sealing element 320 is separated from the material passage 312, i.e., when the material passage 312 is not blocked by the sealing element 320, the material passage 312 can be used for material injection or connected to a conveying component to deliver the aerosol generating matrix to the atomizing component 100. The atomizing component 100 can atomize the aerosol generating matrix to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. The deformable structure 310 can elastically deform according to the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311, dynamically adjusting the capacity of the storage chamber 311. This prevents excessive negative pressure within the storage chamber 311, ensuring a stable and sufficient oil supply to the atomizing component 100 and avoiding dry burning due to insufficient oil supply. When the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 decreases, the deformable structure 310 contracts inward, reducing the capacity of the storage chamber 311; when the amount of aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 increases, the deformable structure 310 expands outward, increasing the capacity of the storage chamber 311. This dynamic adjustment function allows the storage component 300 to adapt to different amounts of aerosol generating matrix, ensuring that the aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 can be supplied fully and smoothly from the outlet. Understandably, as the aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber 311 gradually decreases, the elastic deformation of the deformable structure 310 can balance the pressure inside the storage chamber 311. If the deformable structure 310 does not contract into the storage chamber 311 to reduce its capacity, a vacuum negative pressure area will be formed inside the storage chamber 311, affecting the smooth supply of the aerosol generating matrix from the outlet.
