Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization device and a liquid storage container. Background Technology

[0002] The main principle of an atomizing device is that the atomizing liquid permeates the atomizing coil, which then heats and atomizes the atomizing medium for the user to inhale. Some existing atomizing devices can be used with external, replaceable reservoirs for replenishing the liquid. However, after initially installing the reservoir, a considerable waiting time is required for the atomizing medium to fully saturate the atomizing coil, especially if the coil itself is not pre-saturated. Otherwise, problems such as coil burnt-out, leakage, or poor atomization may occur during initial use. This extended waiting period after installing the reservoir before normal operation results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide an improved atomizing device and liquid storage container that can reduce the time users spend waiting for the coil to be lubricated after installing the liquid storage bottle.

[0004] In some embodiments, a liquid storage container is provided for use in conjunction with a driving component. The liquid storage container includes a container body and a movable unit. The container body defines a cavity, and the movable unit is disposed within the cavity. The movable unit and the container body together define a first liquid storage cavity. The container body includes a main body portion and a cover portion. The cover portion has a through hole communicating with the cavity. The cover portion also has a liquid injection port, which is in selective fluid communication with the first liquid storage cavity. The liquid injection port and the through hole are located at different positions on the cover portion. The through hole is used to receive at least a portion of the driving component entering. The driving component abuts against the movable unit within the cavity and drives the movable unit to move from a first position to a second position. The volume of the first liquid storage cavity corresponding to the second position is smaller than the volume of the first liquid storage cavity corresponding to the first position.

[0005] In some embodiments, the movable unit includes a movable component and a liquid guiding component. The movable component is sealed to the inner wall of the main body. The liquid guiding component is at least partially disposed within the injection port. The liquid guiding component has a liquid guiding channel that selectively connects the first liquid storage chamber and the injection port.

[0006] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a liquid guide tube and a thrust member; the through hole is used to receive the thrust member entering, the thrust member abuts against the movable member in the cavity, and drives the movable member to move from the first position to the second position; the injection port is used to receive the liquid guide tube entering, and the liquid guide tube can drive the liquid guide member to move in a direction close to the first liquid storage cavity.

[0007] In some embodiments, the travel distance of the movable component is less than the travel distance of the fluid guiding component.

[0008] In some embodiments, the liquid storage container further includes a guide tube selectively connected to the injection port, the guide tube being located inside the cavity and connected to the container body, the cross-sectional dimension of the guide tube being smaller than at least a portion of the cross-sectional dimension of the container body; the movable member is annular, the outer periphery of the movable member being sealed to the inner wall of the container body, and the inner periphery of the movable member being sealed to the outer periphery of the guide tube; the liquid guiding member is at least partially located inside the cavity of the guide tube.

[0009] In some embodiments, a limiting structure is formed inside the cavity of the guide tube. In the second position, the liquid guide and the limiting structure abut against each other, thereby limiting the displacement of the liquid guide in the direction close to the first liquid storage cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, the active unit further includes an elastic reset member disposed between the liquid guide member and the limiting structure, for releasing an elastic force to reset the liquid guide member when the liquid guide tube and the liquid guide member are separated.

[0011] In some embodiments, a limiting portion is formed at one end of the liquid guide near the first liquid storage cavity. At the first position, the limiting portion and the limiting structure abut against each other, thereby limiting the displacement of the liquid guide in a direction away from the first liquid storage cavity.

[0012] In some embodiments, an atomizing device is provided, comprising an atomizing apparatus and a liquid storage container as described in any of the above embodiments, the atomizing apparatus including a driving component, wherein when the liquid storage container and the atomizing apparatus are installed together, the movable unit of the liquid storage container moves to the second position under the drive of the driving component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a liquid guide tube and at least two thrust members, the thrust members being symmetrically arranged with the liquid guide tube as the central reference, the liquid storage container having at least two through holes, and the thrust members and the through holes corresponding one-to-one.

[0014] According to the atomizing device and liquid storage container of the above embodiments, after the driving component extends into the through hole of the cover, it abuts against the movable unit in the cavity, driving the movable unit to move from the first position to the second position. The volume of the first liquid storage chamber corresponding to the second position is smaller than the volume of the first liquid storage chamber corresponding to the first position. That is, when the liquid storage container filled with atomizing matrix is ​​installed with the atomizing device for the first time, the movable unit moves from the first position to the second position under the thrust provided by the driving component, compressing the volume of the first liquid storage chamber. This causes a change in the fluid pressure in the first liquid storage chamber, and the atomizing matrix is ​​subjected to extrusion force, forcing more atomizing matrix to flow to the atomizing device at a faster speed, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly lubricating the core when the user uses the atomizing device for the first time.

The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0035] The vertical and horizontal directions mentioned in the text can be used as a reference. Figures 5 to 7 The direction indicators are as follows: LR direction refers to the horizontal direction, U direction refers to the vertical direction, and D direction refers to the horizontal direction.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an atomizing device, comprising an atomizing device 2 and a liquid storage container 1. The atomizing device 2 is used to heat and atomize the stored atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The liquid storage container 1 is used to store the liquid atomizing matrix, thereby replenishing the liquid in the atomizing device 2. The liquid storage container 1 has a liquid-conducting closed state and a liquid-conducting open state. When the liquid-conducting container 1 is in the liquid-conducting closed state, its liquid replenishment function is closed, and the atomizing matrix does not flow out. When the liquid-conducting container 1 is in the liquid-conducting open state, its liquid replenishment function is activated, and it can deliver the atomizing matrix outward. The atomizing device 2 includes a driving component 3. The atomizing device 2 and the liquid storage container 1 are detachably connected. When the liquid storage container 1 and the atomizing device 2 are not installed together, the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid-conducting closed state, at which time the liquid storage container 1 can be transported or placed aside. When the liquid storage container 1 and the atomizing device 2 are installed together, the liquid storage container 1 is switched to the liquid-conducting open state under the drive of the driving component 3, delivering the atomizing matrix to the atomizing device 2.

[0037] Please see Figures 5 to 7 This application provides a liquid storage container 1, which is used in conjunction with a driving component 3. The driving component 3 can be integrally formed on an atomizing device 2 or detachably mounted on the atomizing device 2, or it can be a separate structure independent of the atomizing device 2. The liquid storage container 1 includes a container body 11 and a movable unit. The container body 11 defines a cavity, and the movable unit is disposed within this cavity. The movable unit and the container body 11 together define a first liquid storage chamber 10. The first liquid storage chamber 10 is used to store a liquid atomizing matrix.

[0038] The container body 11 includes a main body 112 and a cover 113. The cover 113 has a through hole 110 communicating with the cavity. The cover 113 also has a liquid inlet 111, which is selectively fluid-communicating with the first liquid storage chamber 10. That is, in different instantaneous states, the first liquid storage chamber 10 can be fluid-communicating with the liquid inlet 111 or not (fluid isolation). For example, when the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding open state, the first liquid storage chamber 10 and the liquid inlet 111 are fluid-communicating, and the liquid storage container 1 delivers the atomizing matrix to the atomizing device 2 through the liquid inlet 111; when the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding closed state, the first liquid storage chamber 10 and the liquid inlet 111 are fluid-communicating, and the liquid replenishment function of the liquid storage container 1 is closed to prevent liquid leakage. The liquid inlet 111 and the through hole 110 are located at different positions on the cover 113. The through hole 110 allows at least a portion of the driving component 3 to extend into it. That is, the through hole 110 is used to receive at least a portion of the drive component 3. The drive component 3 abuts against the movable unit inside the cavity, driving the movable unit to move from the first position to the second position.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the liquid guiding closed state, the active unit is located in the first position. Specifically, in some embodiments, when the active unit is in this first position, the first liquid storage chamber 10 and the external atmospheric environment of the container body 11 are not connected, and the atomizing matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 10 cannot flow outward.

[0040] When the liquid storage container 1 and the atomizing device 2 are installed together, the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding open state, and the movable unit of the liquid storage container 1 moves to the second position under the drive of the driving component 3.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, in the liquid guiding state, the driving component 3 extends at least partially into the cavity through the through hole 110 and abuts against the movable unit, which is located in the second position. That is, the movable unit can move from the first position to the second position under the thrust provided by the driving component 3. Specifically, in some embodiments, the driving component 3 extends entirely into the cavity through the through hole 110 and abuts against the movable unit. Alternatively, in other embodiments, only a portion / part of the driving component 3 may extend into the cavity through the through hole 110 and abut against the movable unit.

[0042] Wherein, the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the second position is smaller than the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the first position. Combined with... Figures 5 to 7 As shown, due to the displacement of the active unit, the second position (reference) Figure 7 The height H2 of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the first position is less than that of the first position (reference). Figure 5The height H1 of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the second position is smaller than the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the first position. That is, when the liquid storage container 1 filled with atomizing matrix is ​​first installed with the atomizing device 2, the movable unit moves from the first position to the second position under the thrust provided by the driving component 3, compressing the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10. This causes a change in the fluid pressure inside the first liquid storage chamber 10, and the atomizing matrix is ​​subjected to extrusion force, forcing more atomizing matrix to flow to the atomizing device 2 at a faster speed, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly lubricating the core when the user uses the atomizing device 2 for the first time. Furthermore, the driving component 3 extends into the cavity through the through hole 110 opened on the container body 11 and then abuts against the movable unit. Since the liquid injection port 111 and the through hole 110 are located at different positions on the cover 113, the driving component 3 uses the non-liquid injection port position on the container body 11 to extend into the cavity to drive the movement of the movable unit. The through hole 110 (the non-injection port) can guide the movement of the drive component 3, which helps to ensure that the direction of the thrust on the moving unit is stable, thereby helping to ensure that the extrusion pressure on the atomizing matrix is ​​relatively uniform.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the atomizing device 2 includes an atomizing core 21, a battery 22, and a second liquid storage chamber. When the liquid storage container 1 is installed with the atomizing device 2, the first liquid storage chamber 10 and the second liquid storage chamber are connected, thereby guiding the atomizing matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 10 into the second liquid storage chamber. The atomizing core 21 and the battery 22 are connected. When energized, the atomizing core 21 can heat and atomize the atomizing matrix from the second liquid storage chamber to generate an aerosol / vapor for the user to inhale. In some embodiments, a liquid storage element 23 is provided in the second liquid storage chamber. The liquid storage element 23 can be a porous fiber structure such as liquid storage cotton. The liquid storage element 23 has a liquid-locking function, which can absorb and store the liquid atomizing matrix, thereby controlling the amount and rate of liquid flow of the atomizing matrix to the atomizing core 21.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 112 is a cylindrical shape with one end closed and the other end open. The cover 113 is connected to the open end of the main body 112, closing the open end of the main body 112. The cover 113 and the main body 112 can be detachably connected or integrally formed. Specifically, the cover 113 includes a connecting portion 1132 and a liquid guiding portion 1131, the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting portion 1132 being larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the liquid guiding portion 1131. The cross-sectional dimension of the connecting portion 1132 can be approximately equal to the cross-sectional dimension of the open end of the main body 112. The connecting portion 1132 is connected to the open end of the main body 112. A through hole 110 is provided in the connecting portion 1132 of the cover 113, and the through hole 110 penetrates the connecting portion 1132 along its thickness direction. The liquid guiding portion 1131 of the cover 113 is a hollow cylindrical shape with both ends open, the hollow portion forming an injection port 111. The liquid storage container 1 delivers the atomized matrix outward through the injection port 111. The movable unit and the main body 112 together define the first liquid storage chamber 10, and the inner walls of the movable unit and the main body 112 are sealed together.

[0045] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable unit includes a movable component 121 and a liquid guiding component 122. The movable component 121 is sealed to the inner wall of the main body 112. The liquid guiding component 122 is at least partially disposed within the injection port 111, and the liquid guiding component 122 has a liquid guiding channel. The liquid guiding channel selectively connects the first liquid storage chamber 10 and the injection port 111. That is, in different instantaneous states, the liquid guiding channel can be in fluid communication with the first liquid storage chamber 10, or it can be not in communication with the first liquid storage chamber 10 (fluid isolation); similarly, in different instantaneous states, the liquid guiding channel can be in fluid communication with the injection port 111, or it can be not in communication with the injection port 111 (fluid isolation). When the liquid guiding channel is in fluid communication with both the first liquid storage chamber 10 and the injection port 111, the first liquid storage chamber 10 is in fluid communication with the injection port 111 via the liquid guiding channel. For example, when the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding open state, the first liquid storage chamber 10, the liquid guiding channel and the liquid injection port 111 are in sequential fluid communication. The atomizing matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 10 can flow into the second liquid storage chamber of the atomizing device 2 in sequence through the liquid guiding channel and the liquid injection port 111. When the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding closed state, the liquid guiding channel and the liquid injection port 111 are not in communication (fluid isolation), and the atomizing matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 10 cannot flow out from the liquid injection port 111, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing liquid leakage.

[0046] The driving component 3 includes a liquid guide tube 31 and a thrust member 32. A through hole 110 receives the thrust member 32, which abuts against a movable member 121 within the cavity, driving the movable member 121 from a first position to a second position. An injection port 111 receives the liquid guide tube 31, which drives the liquid guide member 122 to move towards the first liquid storage chamber 10. That is, the thrust member 32 provides thrust to the movable member 121, and the liquid guide tube 31 provides thrust to the liquid guide member 122. The driving component 3 can simultaneously drive both the movable member 121 and the liquid guide member 122 towards the first liquid storage chamber 10.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving component 3 includes at least two thrust members 32. The at least two thrust members 32 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the liquid guide tube 31 as the center. The liquid storage container 1 has at least two through holes 110. The thrust members 32 and the through holes 110 correspond one-to-one. When the liquid storage container 1 and the atomizing device 2 are installed together, the atomized matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 10 sequentially passes through the liquid guide channel, the injection port 111, and the cavity of the liquid guide tube 31 before entering the second liquid storage chamber. Because the at least two thrust members 32 are symmetrically arranged, the thrust on the movable component 121 is also symmetrical, which helps to ensure that the extrusion pressure on the atomized matrix is ​​relatively uniform. The liquid guide tube 31 can both provide a fluid channel to guide the flow of the atomized matrix and can be used to contact the liquid guide member 122 to drive the liquid guide member 122 to move.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, to ensure that each through hole 110 can guide the movement of its corresponding thrust member 32, the cross-sectional dimensions of each through hole 110 and its corresponding thrust member 32 may be approximately equal.

[0049] In some embodiments, the travel distance of the movable member 121 is less than the travel distance of the liquid guide member 122. Specifically, the travel distance refers to the maximum downward travel distance of the movable member 121 and the liquid guide member 122, that is, the maximum travel distance of the movable member 121 and the liquid guide member 122 in the direction close to the first liquid storage chamber 10.

[0050] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid storage container 1 further includes a sealing plug 4, which is detachably connected to the cap 113. When the sealing plug 4 and cap 113 are connected, the sealing plug 4 is at least partially located within the injection port 111, used to seal and isolate the injection port 111 from the first liquid storage chamber 10. The connection of the sealing plug 4 and cap 113 corresponds to the liquid-conducting closed state of the liquid storage container 1. Specifically, one portion of the sealing plug 4 is located inside the cap 113 and surrounds the outer periphery of the liquid-conducting member 122, while the other portion of the sealing plug 4 extends from the injection port 111 to outside the container body 11. In the liquid-conducting closed state, the sealing plug 4 fluidly isolates the liquid-conducting channel from the injection port 111, thus achieving the sealing and isolation of the first liquid storage chamber 10. Before installing the liquid storage container 1 onto the atomizing device 2, first pull the exposed part of the sealing plug 4 to remove it from the cover 113, and then install the liquid storage container 1 onto the atomizing device 2. This allows the first liquid storage chamber 10, the liquid guiding channel, the liquid injection port 111, the liquid guiding tube 31, and the second liquid storage chamber to be sequentially fluidly connected. In another embodiment, the sealing plug 4 is completely embedded in the liquid injection port 111, and the liquid inlet 1223 of the liquid guiding component 122 can move relative to the sealing plug 4. When the liquid inlet 1223 is exposed in the first liquid storage chamber 10, the liquid is connected; when the periphery of the liquid inlet 1223 is surrounded by the sealing plug 4, the liquid is not connected.

[0051] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid storage container 1 further includes a guide tube 5. The guide tube 5 is located inside the cavity and connected to the container body 11. The guide tube 5 is selectively connected to the injection port 111. That is, in different instantaneous states, the guide tube 5 may be in fluid communication with the injection port 111 or may not be in communication with the injection port 111 (fluid isolation). For example, please refer to... Figure 5 When the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding closed state, the guide tube 5 and the liquid injection port 111 are not connected; please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7When the liquid storage container 1 is in the liquid guiding open state, the guide tube 5 and the liquid injection port 111 are in fluid communication. The cross-sectional dimension of the guide tube 5 is smaller than at least part of the cross-sectional dimension of the container body 11. Specifically, the guide tube 5 is connected to the cover 113. The cross-sectional dimension of the guide tube 5 is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the main body 112, and the guide tube 5 and the liquid guiding portion 1131 of the cover 113 are coaxially arranged. The movable member 121 is annular, and the outer periphery of the movable member 121 is sealed to the inner wall of the container body 11, and the inner periphery of the movable member 121 is sealed to the outer periphery of the guide tube 5. The liquid guiding member 122 is at least partially located inside the cavity of the guide tube 5. The guide tube 5 serves as the mounting and fixing base for the movable member 121 and is used to guide the movement of the movable member 121, thereby helping to ensure that the extrusion pressure on the atomized matrix is ​​relatively uniform. The guide tube 5 and the container body 11 can be an integrally formed structure; or, the guide tube 5 and the container body 11 can be a separate structure.

[0052] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting structure 51 is formed inside the cavity of the guide tube 5. At the second position, the liquid guide 122 and the limiting structure 51 abut against each other, thereby restricting the displacement of the liquid guide 122 in the direction close to the first liquid storage cavity 10. Since the displacement of the liquid guide 122 in the direction close to the first liquid storage cavity 10 is restricted, the liquid guide 122 is stopped here when it moves down to a certain extent, so that the liquid flow rate remains stable. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 8 As shown, the liquid guiding component 122 is approximately T-shaped. It includes a connected rod portion 1221 and a frustum portion 1222, with the cross-sectional dimension of the rod portion 1221 being smaller than that of the frustum portion 1222. An inlet 1223 is provided at the end of the rod portion 1221 away from the frustum portion 1222. The rod portion 1221 has a hollow channel, and the frustum portion 1222 has an outlet 1224. The inlet 1223, the hollow channel, and the outlet 1224 are sequentially connected to form a liquid guiding channel. In the liquid guiding open state, the liquid guiding tube 31 extends into the injection port 111 and abuts against the frustum portion 1222. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, there is a gap between the frustum portion 1222 of the liquid guide 122 and the limiting structure 51. Figure 7 As shown, in the second position, the frustum portion 1222 of the liquid guide 122 abuts against the upper end of the limiting structure 51.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 51 is generally tubular with both ends extending through it, connected to the inner wall of the guide tube 5, and has a central through hole 50. The rod portion 1221 of the liquid guiding member 122 passes through the central through hole 50.

[0054] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the movable unit further includes an elastic reset member 123, which is disposed between the liquid guide member 122 and the limiting structure 51. The elastic reset member 123 is used to release elastic force to reset the liquid guide member 122 when the liquid guide tube 31 and the liquid guide member 122 separate. Specifically, the elastic reset member 123 is disposed between the frustum portion 1222 and the limiting structure 51. When the movable unit is in the first position, the elastic reset member 123 is in an elastic reset state without external force. After the liquid guide tube 31 pushes the liquid guide member 122 downward, the elastic reset member 123 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy by the downward thrust of the frustum portion 1222. During this process, the thrust member 32 simultaneously pushes the movable member 121 downward until the movable member 121 reaches the second position, at which point the liquid storage container 1 replenishes the atomizing device 2. After replenishment, the liquid storage container 1 can be removed from the atomizing device 2, separating the liquid storage container 1 and the atomizing device 2 from each other. The liquid guide tube 31 of the driving component 3 and the frustum portion 1222 of the liquid guide 122 will separate from each other. The frustum portion 1222 of the liquid guide 122 will lose its thrust and release the elastic reset member 123. The elastic reset member 123 will push the liquid guide 122 upward, causing the liquid guide 122 to return to its original position. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The initial position is shown. After the liquid guide 122 is reset, the liquid inlet 1223 is higher than the liquid level of the atomized matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 10, thereby reducing the risk of leakage after the liquid storage container 1 is removed. In some embodiments, to further avoid leakage, the sealing plug 4 can be promptly installed back into the cover 113 to seal the liquid injection port 111 after the liquid storage container 1 is removed.

[0055] In some embodiments, after the movable member 121 moves to the second position, it can remain in the second position; that is, the movable member 121 does not need to return to the first position after moving to the second position. Therefore, the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 can be maintained in the state after the first compression. Furthermore, when the liquid storage container 1 is installed on the atomizing device 2 for the second time, the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 no longer changes, thus preventing a sudden large flow of liquid output and avoiding excessive wetting of the atomizing core 21, which has already been soaked in the atomizing matrix, leading to liquid overflow and leakage. Similarly, this also applies when the liquid storage container 1 is subsequently installed on the atomizing device 2 for the third, fourth, etc. In addition, in some embodiments, the difference between the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the second position and the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 10 corresponding to the first position can be 1.5 ml to 2.5 ml. Figures 5 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting portion 1225 is formed at the end of the liquid guide 122 near the first liquid storage cavity 10. In a first position, the limiting portion 1225 abuts against the limiting structure 51, thereby restricting the displacement of the liquid guide 122 in a direction away from the first liquid storage cavity 10. Specifically, the limiting portion 1225 is formed at the end of the rod portion 1221 away from the frustum portion 1222. The limiting portion 1225 is generally a boss that protrudes laterally outward from the outer peripheral surface of the rod portion 1221. In the first position, the limiting portion 1225 abuts against the lower end of the limiting structure 51. Since the displacement of the liquid guide 122 in a direction away from the first liquid storage cavity 10 is restricted, the liquid guide 122 is prevented from detaching from the container body 11 in a direction away from the first liquid storage cavity 10. Through the cooperation of the frustum portion 1222 and the limiting structure 51, and the cooperation of the limiting portion 1225 and the limiting structure 51, the vertical travel of the liquid guide 122 is limited.

[0056] like Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable member 121 includes a connected abutment portion 1211 and a sealing portion 1212. In the liquid-guiding open state, the drive member extends into the cavity through the through hole 110 and abuts against the abutment portion 1211, while the sealing portion 1212 seals against the inner wall of the container body 11. The sealing portion 1212 and the abutment portion 1211 are both annular, with the outer periphery of the sealing portion 1212 sealing against the inner wall of the container body 11, and the inner periphery of the sealing portion 1212 nesting against the outer periphery of the abutment portion 1211. The inner periphery of the abutment portion 1211 also nests against the outer periphery of the guide tube 5. Thus, the sealing portion 1212 seals the gap between the movable member 121 and the inner wall of the container body 11, preventing liquid in the first liquid storage chamber 10 from leaking out of the container body 11 through this gap.

[0057] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the abutment portion 1211 has a boss structure 1213 on the side away from the first liquid storage cavity 10, and in the second position, the thrust member 32 abuts against the boss structure 1213. Specifically, the abutment portion 1211 is recessed inward on the side away from the first liquid storage cavity 10 to form a groove 1214, and the boss structure 1213 is located in the groove 1214.
