[0025] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] This application provides an atomizing device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The atomizing device 500 may include an atomizer 100 and a replenishment component 40. The replenishment component 40 is connected to the atomizer 100 and is used to replenish the atomizing matrix to the atomizer 100. By configuring the atomizer 100 and the replenishment component 40 relatively independently, the replenishment component 40 can be externally placed on the atomizer 100, thereby reducing the limitation imposed by the atomizer 100 on the volume of the replenishment component 40. This allows the replenishment component 40 to have a relatively large capacity, storing more atomizing matrix and thus extending the service life of the atomizing device 500.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The atomizing device 500 may further include an atomizing host 50, with the atomizer 100 electrically connected to the atomizing host 50. The atomizing host 50 controls the operation of the atomizer 100. For example, the atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 may be electrically connected via electrodes. The atomizing host 50 may include a battery 51, a circuit board 52, and an airflow sensor 53, both of which are electrically connected to the battery 51. The airflow sensor 53 can generate a control signal based on the user's inhalation action, and the circuit board 52 can control the conduction state between the atomizer 100 and the battery 51 according to the control signal, thereby controlling the atomizer 100 to heat the atomization matrix to generate an aerosol or to stop heating. The atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 may be fixedly connected, or they may be detachable, such as by snap-fit, screw, adhesive, or magnetic connection. When the atomizer 100 and the atomizing host 50 are detachably connected, the atomizing host 50 can be used multiple times after replacing the atomizer 100, which helps reduce the user's operating costs.

[0030] The nebulizer 100 is configured for use with the replenishment assembly 40. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4-6The atomizer 100 may include a mouthpiece 10 and an atomizing assembly 20. The mouthpiece 10 is used by a user to perform a suction action. One end of the atomizing assembly 20 is connected to the mouthpiece 10, and the other end of the atomizing assembly 20 away from the mouthpiece 10 is used to connect to a replenishment assembly 40. The replenishment assembly 40 is used to replenish the atomizing matrix to the atomizing assembly 20, and the atomizing assembly 20 is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The atomizing assembly 20 has a first liquid storage chamber 224, and the replenishment assembly 40 has a second liquid storage chamber 411 for storing the atomizing matrix. When the atomizer 100 is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the replenishment assembly 40 is connected to the atomizer 100, the first liquid storage chamber 224 and the second liquid storage chamber 411 are in liquid communication, and the second liquid storage chamber 411 can replenish the atomizing matrix to the first liquid storage chamber 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.

[0031] Please see Figures 4-6 The atomizing assembly 20 includes an atomizing core 21 and a liquid reservoir 26. The atomizing core 21 and the liquid reservoir 26 are installed in a first liquid reservoir 224. The liquid reservoir 26 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton, which can adsorb the atomizing matrix, making it less prone to leakage within the first liquid reservoir 224. The liquid reservoir 26 is in contact with the atomizing core 21 and supplies the atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21. The atomizing core 21 is connected to the nozzle 10 and is used to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol, which is output through the nozzle 10. The liquid reservoir 26 has a top surface 261 near the nozzle 10, and at least a portion of the top surface 261 of the liquid reservoir 26 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the first liquid reservoir 224. This configuration allows for a gap between at least a portion of the top surface 261 of the liquid storage component 26 and the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224. When the external temperature rises, the gas in the liquid storage component 26 can be discharged into the gap, which helps to regulate the gas pressure inside the liquid storage component 26, thereby reducing the amount of atomized matrix precipitated in the liquid storage component 26 and reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the atomizer 100 further includes a housing assembly 30. The housing assembly 30 may include multiple sub-housings that enclose an installation space. The liquid replenishment assembly 40 and the atomizing assembly 20 are mounted on the housing assembly 30, which can enhance the overall integrity of the atomizer 100, thereby facilitating the transportation and use of the atomizer 100.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 The atomizing assembly 20 includes a cover plate 221, a side wall 222, and a bracket 23. The cover plate 221 is located near the nozzle 10, and the side wall 222 is located on the side of the cover plate 221 away from the nozzle 10. The side wall 222, the cover plate 221, and the bracket 23 together form a first liquid storage cavity 224. When assembling the atomizing assembly 20, the components can be installed on the bracket 23 first, and then the side wall 222, the cover plate 221, and the bracket 23 can be assembled to form the first liquid storage cavity 224, which facilitates the assembly of the components in the first liquid storage cavity 224.

[0034] The cover plate 221 and the side wall 222 can be separate structures. The cover plate 221 and the side wall 222 are assembled and connected. In this case, a sealing element is provided between the cover plate 221 and the side wall 222. The sealing element forms part of the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224 to enhance the airtightness of the first liquid storage chamber 224. Alternatively, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a cover 22, and a liquid reservoir 26 is housed within the cover 22. The cover 22 includes a cover plate 221 and a side wall 222 integrally connected. The cover plate 221 is located near the nozzle 10, and the side wall 222 is connected to the side of the cover plate 221 away from the nozzle 10. The cover plate 221 forms part of the inner wall of the first liquid reservoir 224, and at least a portion of the top surface 261 is spaced apart from the cover plate 221. Since the cover plate 221 and the side wall 222 are integrally formed, no sealing element is needed between the cover plate 221 and the side wall 222. The cover plate 221 directly forms part of the inner wall of the first liquid reservoir 224, which reduces the space occupied by the sealing element in the first liquid reservoir 224 and facilitates the miniaturization of the atomizing assembly 20.

[0035] The liquid reservoir 26 can be fitted over the atomizing core 21 to prevent displacement, ensuring a stable supply of atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21. Alternatively, please refer to... Figure 7In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a cover plate 221 and a limiting member 29. The cover plate 221 is disposed near the nozzle 10 and forms part of the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224. The limiting member 29 is disposed between the top surface 261 and the cover plate 221 and is used to restrict the movement of the liquid storage member 26 toward the cover plate 221. This configuration serves two purposes. First, the limiting member 29 prevents the liquid storage member 26 from shifting, ensuring that the liquid storage member 26 can stably supply the atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21, thereby enhancing the reliability of the atomizing assembly 20. Second, the limiting member 29 prevents the liquid storage member 26 from shifting when the atomizer 100 is subjected to external forces (such as impact or vibration), which would reduce the gap between the top surface 261 of the liquid storage member 26 and the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224. By setting the limiting member 29 to maintain the size of the gap, the gas in the liquid storage member 26 can be discharged into the gap when the external temperature rises, which is beneficial for regulating the gas pressure in the liquid storage member 26, thereby reducing the amount of atomizing matrix precipitated in the liquid storage member 26 and reducing the risk of atomizing matrix leakage.

[0036] In one embodiment, the limiting member 29 is columnar, and there are multiple limiting members 29, which are spaced apart along the outer edge of the top surface 261. This arrangement allows the limiting members 29 to provide multi-point support for the liquid storage member 26, thereby better preventing the liquid storage member 26 from shifting when the atomizer 100 is subjected to external forces, further reducing the possibility of the liquid storage member 26 moving towards the cover plate 221, and helping to maintain the size of the gap between the top surface 261 of the liquid storage member 26 and the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224.

[0037] In one embodiment, the limiting member 29 is strip-shaped and is disposed around the outer edge of the top surface 261. This arrangement provides multi-directional support for the liquid storage member 26 at the outer edge of the top surface 261, effectively preventing displacement of the liquid storage member 26 when the atomizer 100 is subjected to external forces. This further reduces the likelihood of the liquid storage member 26 moving towards the cover plate 221, and helps maintain the size of the gap between the top surface 261 of the liquid storage member 26 and the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224.

[0038] The limiting member 29 can be a component independent of the cover plate 221 and the liquid reservoir 26, and is assembled between the top surface 261 and the cover plate 221. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the limiting member 29 is integrally formed into the cover plate 221 or the liquid reservoir 26. This arrangement can reduce the number of components in the atomizing assembly 20, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the top surface 261 is spaced from the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224 by a distance greater than or equal to 0.3 mm. This arrangement creates a large gap between the top surface 261 and the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224. When the external temperature rises, the atomized matrix precipitated in the liquid storage component 26 can be temporarily stored in the gap without clogging it. Gas in the liquid storage component 26 can also be released into the gap, which helps regulate the gas pressure within the liquid storage component 26, thereby reducing the amount of atomized matrix precipitated in the liquid storage component 26 and lowering the risk of leakage. Exemplarily, the distance between the top surface 261 and the inner wall of the first liquid storage chamber 224 can be 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, or 1.2 mm, and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a first liquid guide 27, which is installed in the first liquid storage chamber 224 and contacts the liquid storage chamber 26. The first liquid guide 27 is used to transfer the atomized matrix in the replenishment assembly 40 to the liquid storage chamber 26. The first liquid guide 27 may be rod-shaped or strip-shaped. The first liquid guide 27 is a porous medium, such as porous fiber, porous ceramic, porous metal, porous glass, or porous plastic. The first liquid guide 27 is fluidly connected to the second liquid storage chamber 411 and the first liquid storage chamber 224. The first liquid guide 27 can regulate the flow rate of the atomized matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 411 from the liquid guide hole 236 to the first liquid storage chamber 224, thereby preventing leakage due to excessive flow rate. The minimum distance between the first liquid guide 27 and the cover plate 221 is greater than or equal to the minimum distance between the top surface 261 of the liquid storage chamber 26 and the cover plate 221. This configuration allows for a large gap between the end of the first liquid guide 27 near the cover plate 221 and the cover plate 221. When the external temperature rises, the gas in the second liquid storage chamber 411 can be discharged into the gap through the first liquid guide 27, which helps to regulate the gas pressure in the second liquid storage chamber 411 and thus reduces the risk of leakage of the atomized matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 411.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 221 has a pressure regulating hole 226 in a region spaced apart from the top surface 261. The pressure regulating hole 226 communicates with the external space of the atomizer 100. This arrangement ensures that the pressure regulating hole 226 is not blocked by the liquid storage component 26 or the limiting component 29. When the external temperature rises, the gas in the gap between the cover plate 221 and the top surface 261 can be discharged to the outside through the pressure regulating hole 226, which helps to regulate the air pressure in the first liquid storage chamber 224, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the atomizing matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 224.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a collection chamber 225 and a connecting port 234. The atomizing assembly 20 includes a guide member 24, which is installed in the collection chamber 225 and disposed at the connecting port 234. When the atomizer 100 is configured to be used in conjunction with the replenishment assembly 40, the collection chamber 225 is connected to the replenishment assembly 40 via the connecting port 234. The guide member 24 is configured to absorb atomized matrix leaking from the replenishment assembly 40, thereby guiding the atomized matrix into the collection chamber 225. By placing the guide member 24 at the connecting port 234 to absorb the atomized matrix, the driving force for the atomized matrix to enter the collection chamber 225 can be increased, allowing the leaked atomized matrix to flow into the collection chamber 225 and be temporarily stored there, thereby reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0043] Please see Figure 8 In one embodiment, the cover 22 further includes a partition 223, which is connected to the side wall 222 and the cover 221. The partition 223 divides the internal space formed by the side wall 222, the cover 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 wall between the first liquid storage chamber 224 and the collection chamber 225, thereby reducing material usage and lowering costs.

[0044] The drainage element 24 is a porous medium with pores, allowing it to adsorb the atomized matrix leaking from the replenishment assembly 40, thereby guiding the atomized matrix into the collection chamber 225. The drainage element 24 may include porous ceramics, porous metals, foamed metals, porous glass, or porous plastics. It may also include oleophilic materials with a contact angle less than 90°, such as silica. In one embodiment, the drainage element 24 includes porous fibers. The drainage element 24 can be prepared using natural fiber bases, synthetic fiber bases, carbon-based fibers, inorganic fibers, or composite fibers. The high specific surface area of ​​the porous fibers provides numerous adsorption sites, which facilitates the adsorption of the atomized matrix at the connecting port 234, thereby increasing the driving force for the atomized matrix to enter the collection chamber 225.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 9In one embodiment, the support 23 includes a frame 231, which is installed at the end of the cover 22 away from the nozzle 10. The cover 22 and the frame 231 enclose a first liquid storage chamber 224 and a collection chamber 225. A connecting port 234 can be provided on the frame 231, and a drainage member 24 can be attached to the side of the frame 231 near the nozzle 10, so that the drainage member 24 is close to the connecting port 234 on the frame 231. The drainage member 24 adsorbs the atomized matrix at the connecting port 234, which can increase the driving force for the atomized matrix to enter the collection chamber 225. Leaked atomized matrix flows into the collection chamber 225 and is temporarily stored in the collection chamber 225, thereby reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 , Figure 9 As shown, the support 23 also includes a connecting pipe 232 and a liquid guiding pipe 233. The connecting pipe 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 guiding pipe 233. The frame 231, connecting pipe 232, and liquid guiding pipe 233 can be integrally formed to form the support 23, i.e., the support 23 is an integral structure; or the frame 231, connecting pipe 232, and liquid guiding pipe 233 can be separately processed and then assembled to form the support 23, i.e., the support 23 is a separate structure. The connecting pipe 232 is provided with a liquid guiding hole 236. Exemplarily, the liquid guiding hole 236 can be opened at the end where the connecting pipe 232 connects to the liquid guiding pipe 233. A first liquid guiding element 27 passes through the liquid guiding hole 236, with one end of the first liquid guiding element 27 housed in the connecting pipe 232 and the other end housed in the first liquid storage cavity 224, and in fluid communication with the liquid storage element 26. The liquid guide tube 233 is a hollow cylindrical shape. One end of the liquid guide tube 233 is connected to the frame 231, and the other end of the liquid guide tube 233 is a free end 235 extending towards the nozzle 10, which is housed within the collection chamber 225. A connecting port 234 is provided at the free end 235, and a drainage member 24 is positioned close to the free end 235. The liquid guide tube 233 can connect to the second liquid storage chamber 411, thereby connecting the collection chamber 225 to the second liquid storage chamber 411. The connecting port 234 is set at the free end 235 of the liquid guide tube 233 extending in the direction of the nozzle 10. In some postures of the atomizer 100, such as the downward posture of the nozzle 10, when the external environmental conditions change, the atomizing matrix that leaks from the second liquid storage chamber 411 can be temporarily stored in the drainage element 24 under the guidance of the liquid guide tube 233. The aperture of the liquid guide tube 233 is usually small. When the external environmental conditions recover, the drainage element 24 is set close to the free end 235. The atomizing matrix in the drainage element 24 can flow back 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.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a liquid-absorbing element 25. The liquid-absorbing element 25 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton. The liquid-absorbing element 25 is disposed near the pressure regulating hole 226 and is configured to absorb the atomized matrix that seeps out through the pressure regulating hole 226. With this configuration, even if a large amount of atomized matrix leaks into the first liquid storage chamber 224 and overflows from the pressure regulating hole 226, the liquid-absorbing element 25 can absorb the overflowing atomized matrix, thereby forming multiple leakage protections and further reducing the risk of atomized matrix leakage.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 221 has an injection hole 227, which is used to inject the atomizing matrix into the first liquid storage chamber 224, so that the atomizing matrix can be pre-stored in the first liquid storage chamber 224. When the atomizing matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 224 is consumed, it is replenished by the liquid replenishment component 40.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 In one embodiment, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a sealing element 28, which enhances the airtightness of the atomizing assembly 20. The sealing element 28 may include a first sealing element 281 and a second sealing element 282. The first sealing element 281 is disposed between the cover plate 221 and the liquid suction element 25, and the second sealing element 282 is disposed between the side wall 222 and the support 23. At least a portion of the second sealing element 282 is accommodated within the side wall 222, and one side of the second sealing element 282 abuts against the partition plate 223. The sealing element 28 may be made of a material with a certain elastic deformation capacity, such as silicone or rubber. When the sealing element 28 is interference-fitted into the atomizing assembly 20, the sealing element 28 undergoes elastic deformation, allowing the first sealing element 281 to seal the gap between the nozzle 10 and the cover 22, and the second sealing element 282 to 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. One end of the atomizing core 21 is inserted into the first sealing member 281 and the other end is inserted into the second sealing member 282, which can enhance the sealing of the first liquid storage chamber 224 at the installation point of the atomizing core 21 and prevent leakage of the atomizing matrix.

[0050] Please see Figure 5In 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.

[0051] The replenishment component 40 is configured to be used in conjunction with the nebulizer 100. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the liquid replenishment assembly 40 may include a liquid storage bottle 41, a fixed cap 42, a movable cap 43, and a spring 44. The liquid storage bottle 41 has a second liquid storage chamber 411 and a connection port 412. The connection port 412 may be located at one end of the liquid storage bottle 41 near the mouthpiece 10. The fixed cap 42 is fixedly installed at the connection port 412 of the liquid storage bottle 41. The movable cap 43 is at least partially slidably accommodated within the fixed cap 42. The spring 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the movable cap 43 and connects the fixed cap 42 and the movable cap 43 respectively. When the atomizer 100 is activated, the connecting tube 232 is inserted into the fixed cap 42 and pushes the movable cap 43 to move, so that the second liquid storage chamber 411 communicates with the first liquid storage chamber 224, thereby activating the atomizer 100. The sealing element 28 includes a third sealing element 283, 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 283, 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.
