[0009] In one embodiment, the drainage channel further includes at least one second drainage channel, the proximal end of which is in communication with at least one first drainage channel, and the second drainage channel has a distal end corresponding to the edge region of the first suction element.

[0010] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the drainage channel has a first end and a second end spaced apart, the depth dimension of the first end being smaller than the depth dimension of the second end, the first end being connected to the edge region of the first liquid suction member, and the second end being closer to the middle region of the first liquid suction member than the first end.

[0011] In one embodiment, the bottom of the first drainage channel is a plane, and the depth dimension of the end of the first drainage channel that connects to the vent is greater than the depth dimension of the end of the first drainage channel that is away from the vent.

[0012] And / or; the bottom of the second drainage channel is a plane, and the depth dimension of the end of the second drainage channel that connects to the first drainage channel is greater than the depth dimension of the end of the second drainage channel that is away from the first drainage channel.

[0013] In one embodiment, the top of the container has a receiving portion that matches the shape of the first liquid suction member, and a drainage channel is located in the area where the receiving portion is located. The first liquid suction member is at least partially housed in the receiving portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the nozzle has an air chamber and an air outlet communicating with the air chamber. The air outlet is spaced apart from the air outlet of the atomizing channel on the nozzle. The atomizer also includes a liquid collecting element, which is located between the nozzle and the liquid storage chamber. The side surface of the liquid collecting element facing the air chamber is provided with a liquid collecting groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the air outlet is located on the end face of the nozzle away from the liquid storage tank, and the atomizer further includes a second liquid suction element, which is disposed in the liquid collection tank and is arranged opposite to the air outlet on the nozzle.

[0016] In one embodiment, the nozzle has an air passage, and the air passage, vent hole and liquid storage chamber are connected to form an atomization channel; the end of the air passage that contacts the first liquid suction element is provided with a plurality of notches, the plurality of notches are arranged circumferentially along the hole wall of the air passage, and the opening of the notches faces the center of the air passage.

[0031] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0032] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0033] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0034] One embodiment of this application provides an atomizer, which is part of an atomizing device and is used to heat and atomize a stored liquid to be atomized, so that the liquid liquid to be atomized becomes a state that can be inhaled by the user, for example, turning the liquid liquid to be atomized into an aerosol.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The atomizer 100 includes a mouthpiece 10, a first liquid suction element 20, and a liquid storage chamber 30. The liquid storage chamber 30 has a liquid storage cavity 31, the opening of which is located at the end of the liquid storage chamber 30 away from the mouthpiece 10. The top 32 of the liquid storage chamber 30 is located between the opening of the liquid storage cavity 31 and the mouthpiece 10, and the top 32 constitutes part of the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 31. The top 32 is provided with a vent 33 and a drainage groove 34. The vent 33 connects the liquid storage cavity 31 and the mouthpiece 10 to form an atomization channel 40. The drainage groove 34 is located on the end face of the top 32 away from the liquid storage cavity 31, and one end of the drainage groove 34 is connected to the wall of the vent 33. The first liquid suction member 20 is disposed between the top of the tank 32 and the suction nozzle 10, and the first liquid suction member 20 is in contact with the top of the tank 32. The diversion channel 34 is configured to guide the liquid to flow along the diversion channel 34, and the first liquid suction member 20 is configured to absorb the liquid in the diversion channel 34.

[0036] The first liquid-absorbing element 20 is a component that can absorb condensate. The first liquid-absorbing element 20 can be liquid-absorbing cotton, liquid-absorbing block, liquid-absorbing fiber, or other components that can absorb liquid water or liquid atomized matrix. This embodiment does not specifically limit the material and structure of the first liquid-absorbing element 20.

[0037] The liquid storage chamber 30 serves as the reaction chamber for heating the atomizing matrix, while the liquid storage cavity 31 stores the liquid aerosol generation matrix. The liquid storage cavity 31 contains a liquid storage component 80, which can be a storage cotton, a storage block, a storage fiber, or other elements capable of storing the liquid atomizing matrix. Simultaneously, the liquid storage cavity 31 is generally equipped with a heating component 90 for heating the matrix to be atomized, thus transforming the liquid into a state suitable for user inhalation.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The liquid storage tank 30 is a cup-shaped tank with an opening. The top 32 of the liquid storage tank 30 is positioned opposite the opening of the liquid storage cavity 31. This can be understood as the liquid storage tank 30 being installed upside down, with the top 32 of the liquid storage tank 30 closer to the suction nozzle 10 than the liquid storage cavity 31. The top 32 separates the liquid storage cavity 31 and the suction nozzle 10, which are connected through a vent 33 on the top. In use, only the opening of the liquid storage cavity 31 needs to be sealed. The method of sealing the opening can be selected according to requirements; this application is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the opening can be sealed using silicone or other sealing components to form a sealed liquid storage cavity 31 inside the liquid storage tank 30.

[0039] The end face of the top of the tank 32 facing away from the liquid storage chamber 31 is the surface of the top of the tank 32 that faces and contacts the first liquid suction member 20. The condensate can flow along the guide groove 34 from the position near the atomizing channel 40 to the edge position away from the atomizing channel 40 and be absorbed by the first liquid suction member 20. One end of the guide groove 34 is connected to the wall of the vent 33, that is, the guide groove 34 and the vent 33 are directly connected. The forming scheme of the guide groove 34 can adopt any feasible scheme in the related technology. For example, the guide groove 34 can be a groove formed on one side surface of the top of the tank 32, or the guide groove 34 can be defined by two adjacent protrusions formed on one side surface of the top of the tank 32. This application does not limit it.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 3-5 Along the inhalation direction, the air inlet of the atomizer 100 is upstream, the air passage 13 on the mouthpiece 10 is downstream, and the mouthpiece 10 is located downstream of the top 32 of the liquid storage tank 30.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 The nozzle 10 has an air passage 13, and the top of the chamber 32 has a vent 33. Along the suction direction, the vent 33 connects the liquid storage chamber 31 and the air passage 13 of the nozzle 10. The liquid storage chamber 31 is located upstream of the vent 33, and the vent 33 is located upstream of the air passage 13 of the nozzle 10. The liquid storage chamber 31 is part of the atomization channel 40, the vent 33 is part of the atomization channel 40, and the air passage 13 of the nozzle 10 is also part of the atomization channel 40.

[0042] According to the atomizer 100 of the above embodiment, a top 32 is formed directly on the liquid storage chamber 30. The top 32 is located between the liquid storage chamber 31 and the mouthpiece 10. A first liquid suction member 20 is provided between the top 32 and the mouthpiece 10. A drainage groove 34 is provided on the top 32. After installation, the first liquid suction member 20 contacts the top 32. The first liquid suction member 20 is in direct contact with both the liquid storage chamber 30 and the mouthpiece 10. The drainage groove 34 is located below the first liquid suction member 20, that is, upstream of the first liquid suction member 20 in the air intake direction. The first liquid suction member 20 can effectively absorb the condensate generated in the atomization channel 40, effectively preventing the condensate from flowing upward along the atomization channel 40 to the mouthpiece 10 or the user's mouth, and also effectively preventing the condensate from dripping into the liquid storage chamber 30, reducing the probability of the condensate dripping onto the atomization assembly. In addition, since the top of the container 32 is provided with a drainage channel 34, on the one hand, the condensate can flow along the drainage channel 34 from the position near the atomizing channel 40 to the edge position away from the atomizing channel 40 and be absorbed by the edge part of the first liquid suction member 20. On the other hand, the first liquid-absorbing component 20 itself has a certain flow-guiding performance. The capillary force inside the first liquid-absorbing component 20 can guide the liquid flow, that is, the liquid is pulled from the area of ​​high concentration to the area of ​​low concentration by the capillary force. After the part of the first liquid-absorbing component 20 that has absorbed condensate comes into contact with the guide groove 34, there is an interaction force between the liquid inside the first liquid-absorbing component 20 and the surface of the guide groove 34. At this time, the guide groove 34 can help guide the liquid inside the first liquid-absorbing component 20 to the edge of the first liquid-absorbing component 20 away from the atomizing channel 40, thereby helping to improve the lateral oil guiding ability of the first liquid-absorbing component 20. This allows the first liquid-absorbing component 20 to absorb condensate more evenly and effectively. Without adjusting the material, thickness, or size of the first liquid-absorbing component 20, the liquid absorption capacity and liquid volume of the first liquid-absorbing component 20 can be improved. Without affecting the humidity and fragrance of the aerosol, the performance improvement, manufacturing, and cost control of the atomizer 100 are all taken into account.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-5 The first liquid-absorbing element 20 has a through hole that extends through the first liquid-absorbing element 20 along the suction direction, thereby effectively reducing flow obstruction and facilitating the flow of the atomized matrix within the atomization channel 40 when the user inhales.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5-7The drainage channel 34 includes a plurality of first drainage channels 341 extending in a direction away from the center of the vent 33. Here, "a plurality of" refers to two or more. The first drainage channels 341 penetrate the wall of the vent 33, thereby effectively absorbing the condensate on the wall of the vent 33 of the top of the tank 32. Through the guiding effect of the first drainage channels 341, the condensate in the first liquid suction member 20 can be guided to flow from a position close to the vent 33 to a position away from the vent 33. In other words, the condensate absorbed by the middle of the first liquid suction member 20 can flow towards the edge of the first liquid suction member 20. Here, the middle of the first liquid suction member 20 refers to the area of ​​the first liquid suction member 20 corresponding to the vent 33.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5-7 The vent 33 has a circular cross-section, and the first drainage groove 341 extends radially along the vent 33. On the one hand, the smooth, cornerless wall of the vent 33 facilitates the flow of condensate into the first drainage groove 341. On the other hand, using the center of the vent 33 as a reference and the radial direction of the vent 33 as the extension direction of the first drainage groove 341 helps reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the first drainage groove 341 on the liquid storage tank 30 and the tank top 32. It should be noted that in another embodiment, the first drainage groove 341 can also be a curved groove.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 as well as Figures 5-7 The drainage channel 34 also includes at least one second drainage channel 342, the proximal end of which is connected to at least one first drainage channel 341. The second drainage channel 342 has a distal end 3421 corresponding to the edge region of the first liquid suction member 20 to guide liquid along the second drainage channel 342 from the region near the atomizing channel 40 to the region away from the atomizing channel 40. At least one second diversion channel 342 refers to one or more second diversion channels 342. The condensate in the first diversion channel 341 can continue to flow along the first diversion channel 341 in the direction away from the vent 33. The condensate in the first diversion channel 341 can also flow along the second diversion channel 342 to the circumferential edge area of ​​the first liquid suction member 20. The second diversion channel 342 plays a diversion role, ultimately guiding the condensate to the edge part of the first liquid suction member 20 and being fully absorbed by the first liquid suction member 20. This allows the condensate to flow in multiple directions along the first diversion channel 341 on the top of the container 32, which is beneficial to improving the ability to guide the condensate to the edge of the first liquid suction member 20. The first liquid suction member 20 can more evenly absorb the condensate.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5-7The second drainage channel 342 is a straight channel. One end of the second drainage channel 342 is connected to the middle of a first drainage channel 341. The far end 3421 of the second drainage channel 342 extends away from the connected first drainage channel 341 to the edge area of ​​the first liquid suction member 20, so as to guide the condensate in the second drainage channel to flow to the circumferential edge of the first liquid suction member 20 and be absorbed by the first liquid suction member 20.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second drainage channel 342 may be connected to one first drainage channel 341. In other embodiments, the second drainage channel 342 may also be connected to multiple first drainage channels 341. This application does not make specific limitations, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to actual needs.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 At least a portion of the drainage channel 34 has a spaced first end 343 and a second end 344, with the depth of the first end 343 being smaller than the depth of the second end 344. The first end 343 is connected to the edge region of the first liquid-absorbing member 20, and the second end 344 is closer to the middle region of the first liquid-absorbing member 20 than the first end 343. The first end 343 corresponds to the edge position of the first liquid-absorbing member 20, so that the depth of the drainage channel 34 at the edge position of the first liquid-absorbing member 20 is smaller than the depth at the middle position of the first liquid-absorbing member 20. This allows the attraction effect of the bottom of the channel, the condensate, and the first liquid-absorbing member 20 to accelerate the flow of the condensate towards the edge of the first liquid-absorbing member 20, enabling the first liquid-absorbing member 20 to absorb the condensate more fully and absorb more condensate compared to the first liquid-absorbing member 20 in related technologies. This effectively avoids the problem that the middle of the first liquid-absorbing member 20 is full of condensate while the edge of the first liquid-absorbing member 20 has not yet absorbed condensate.

[0050] The phrase "the depth dimension of the first end 343 is less than the depth dimension of the second end 344" can be any feasible solution, and this application does not impose any specific limitation. For example, in some embodiments, the depth dimension of the drainage channel 34 can gradually increase from the first end 343 to the second end 344, or in other embodiments, the drainage channel 34 can be a multi-segment structure, and the drainage channel 34 can include two or more segments, as long as the depth dimension of the first end 343 is less than the depth dimension of the second end 344 and the condensate can flow smoothly from the second end 344 to the first end 343.

[0051] In addition, the drainage channel 34 here may include, but is not limited to, the structure of the first drainage channel 341 described above and the structure of the combination of the first drainage channel 341 and the second drainage channel 342 described above. Partial drainage channel 34 refers to at least one of the drainage channels 34. In some embodiments, partial drainage channel 34 may refer to a portion of the first drainage channel 341. In some embodiments, partial drainage channel 34 may also refer to a portion of the second drainage channel 342. Or in some other embodiments, partial drainage channel 34 may also refer to a portion of the first drainage channel 341 and a portion of the second drainage channel 342.

[0052] It is understandable that the second end 344 of the drainage channel 34 is closer to the middle of the first liquid suction member 20, and the first end 343 of the drainage channel 34 is closer to the edge of the first liquid suction member 20. That is, the drainage channel 34 extends from the second end 344 as the starting point in a direction away from the second end 344 and closer to the edge of the first liquid suction member 20. For ease of understanding, taking the first drainage channel 341 as an example, the second end 344 of the first drainage channel 341 is the end that communicates with the vent 33 of the top of the tank 32; taking the second drainage channel 342 as an example, the second end 344 of the second drainage channel 342 is the end that communicates with the first drainage channel 341.

[0053] In some embodiments, in order to enable the first liquid absorber 20 to absorb condensate more evenly, the second end 344 may be connected to the middle region of the first liquid absorber 20.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bottom of the first drainage channel 341 is flat, and the depth of the end of the first drainage channel 341 connected to the vent 33 is greater than the depth of the end of the first drainage channel 341 away from the vent 33. It can be understood that the bottom of the first drainage channel 341 is an inclined plane, so the depth of the first drainage channel 341 decreases uniformly along the direction away from the vent 33. In other words, the distance between the upper surface of the tank top 32 that contacts the first liquid suction member 20 and the bottom of the first drainage channel 341 is less than the distance between the upper surface of the tank top 32 and the bottom of the first drainage channel 341. Therefore, the attraction between the bottom of the channel, the condensate, and the first liquid suction member 20 can be utilized to accelerate the flow of the condensate towards the edge of the first liquid suction member 20, allowing the first liquid suction member 20 to absorb the condensate more fully and absorb more condensate compared to the first liquid suction member 20 in related technologies. This effectively avoids the problem that the middle of the first liquid suction member 20 is full of condensate while the edges are not yet absorbed.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The bottom of the second drainage channel 342 is a flat plane. The depth of the end of the second drainage channel 342 connected to the first drainage channel 341 is greater than the depth of the end of the second drainage channel 342 away from the first drainage channel 341. It can be understood that the end of the second drainage channel 342 away from the first drainage channel 341 is the distal end 3421 of the second drainage channel 342. Since the bottom of the second drainage channel 342 is an inclined plane, the depth of the second drainage channel 342 varies uniformly in this case. In other words, the distance between the upper surface of the tank top 32 that contacts the first liquid suction member 20 and the bottom of the second drainage channel 342 is smaller than the distance between the upper surface of the tank top 32 and the bottom of the second drainage channel 342. Therefore, the attraction between the bottom of the channel, the condensate, and the first liquid suction member 20 can be used to accelerate the flow of the condensate towards the edge of the first liquid suction member 20. This allows the first liquid suction member 20 to absorb the condensate more fully and more than the first liquid suction member 20 in related technologies, effectively avoiding the problem that the middle of the first liquid suction member 20 is full of condensate while the edges of the first liquid suction member 20 have not yet absorbed condensate.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bottom of the first drainage channel 341 and the bottom of the second drainage channel 342 can both be flat. The depth of the end of the first drainage channel 341 connected to the vent 33 is greater than the depth of the end of the first drainage channel 341 away from the vent 33. The depth of the end of the second drainage channel 342 connected to the first drainage channel 341 is greater than the depth of the end of the second drainage channel 342 away from the first drainage channel 341. This facilitates the flow of condensate to the edge of the first liquid suction member 20, allowing the first liquid suction member 20 to absorb condensate more fully and effectively avoiding the problem that the middle of the first liquid suction member 20 is full of condensate while the edge of the first liquid suction member 20 has not yet absorbed condensate.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4-7 In order to install and fix the first suction component 20, the surface of the top of the tank 32 facing the nozzle 10 has a receiving portion 35 that matches the shape of the first suction component 20. The drainage groove 34 is located in the area where the receiving portion 35 is located. The first suction component 20 is at least partially housed in the receiving portion 35. The receiving portion 35 is used to contact the bottom surface and circumferential side surface of the first suction component 20. The first suction component 20 is limited by the receiving portion 35, so that the first suction component 20 and the liquid storage tank 30 can be pre-assembled into one unit. Then, the liquid storage tank 30 and the nozzle 10 can be assembled to stably install the first suction component 20 between the top of the tank 32 and the nozzle 10, effectively avoiding the positional deviation of the first suction component 20 and effectively reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The top surface of the tank 32 facing the nozzle 10 has a protruding edge 351 that matches the shape of the first suction member 20. The edge 351 and the end face of the top surface of the tank 32 together form the aforementioned receiving portion 35, so that at least the bottom of the first suction member 20 can be accommodated within the area enclosed by the edge 351. The drainage channel 34 is also located within the area enclosed by the edge 351, and at least part of the drainage channel 34 extends to connect with the edge 351. On the one hand, if the drainage channel 34 extends to connect with the edge 351, the drainage channel 34 extends to the outer edge area of ​​the first suction member 20, which can more effectively guide the condensate to the edge area of ​​the first suction member 20, ensuring that each area of ​​the first suction member 20 can effectively absorb the condensate. On the other hand, the edge 351 protrudes from the top surface of the tank 32 facing the nozzle 10 and is also higher than the drainage channel 34, which can effectively prevent the condensate from overflowing into the area not covered by the first suction member 20.

[0059] In one embodiment, the height of the perimeter 351 can be designed to match or be close to the thickness of the first liquid-absorbing element 20, so that the first liquid-absorbing element 20 is completely or mostly located inside the receiving portion 35. This can also effectively prevent the condensate from flowing out of the receiving portion 35 after the first liquid-absorbing element 20 is full of condensate, thus ensuring the normal use of the atomizer 100.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the receiving portion 35 may also be formed by a plurality of protrusions spaced apart on the top of the container 32, so that the protrusions can be connected to any one of the drainage channels 34 to effectively prevent condensate from overflowing out of the drainage channel 34.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 The mouthpiece 10 has an air chamber 11 and an air outlet 12 connected to the air chamber 11. The air outlet 12 is spaced apart from the air outlet of the atomizing channel 40 on the mouthpiece 10. When the user inhales, airflow and air pressure are generated in the air outlet 12 and the air chamber 11. When used in conjunction with an airflow sensor or an air pressure sensor, the atomizer 100 can be started and stopped. As the user inhales, the temperature inside the air chamber 11 of the mouthpiece 10 changes, which in turn causes condensation to form on the wall of the air chamber 11. In order to reduce the impact of the condensation inside the air chamber 11 on the atomizer 100, the atomizer 100 also includes a liquid collecting element 50. The liquid collecting element 50 is located between the mouthpiece 10 and the liquid storage tank 30. The side surface of the liquid collecting element 50 facing the air chamber 11 is provided with a liquid collecting groove 51. The side surface of the liquid collecting element 50 facing the air chamber 11 is also the side surface of the liquid collecting element 50 near the air outlet 12. The condensation generated inside the air chamber 11 of the mouthpiece 10 can flow into the liquid collecting groove 51 of the liquid collecting element 50.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5The air outlet 12 is located on the end face of the nozzle 10 away from the liquid storage tank 30. The atomizer 100 also includes a second liquid suction element 60, which is disposed in the liquid collection tank 51 and is positioned opposite to the air outlet 12 on the nozzle 10. The condensate is mainly concentrated near the air outlet 12. When the atomizer 100 is placed upright, the air outlet 12 and the second liquid suction element 60 are opposite each other in the direction of gravity. The condensate around the air outlet can flow to the second liquid suction element 60 under the action of gravity, thereby effectively absorbing most of the condensate in the air chamber 11. In addition, in other positions of the atomizer 100, when the water vapor in the air chamber 11 has not yet condensed into a liquid state, the second liquid suction element 60 can also absorb most of the water vapor in the air chamber 11. According to this embodiment, by providing the second liquid suction element 60, the atomizer 100 can effectively reduce the impact of the condensate in the air chamber 11 on the atomizer 100.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 The atomizing channel 40 is located on the end face of the nozzle 10 away from the liquid storage tank 30. The air outlet 12 of the nozzle 10 and the atomizing channel 40 are located on the same surface of the nozzle 10, which makes it easier for the user to inhale and also helps to improve the detection sensitivity of the atomizer 100.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The liquid storage chamber 30 is also provided with an injection port 36 on its top 32. The liquid collecting component 50 has a sealing part 52 for sealing the injection port 36, thereby effectively preventing leakage of the atomized matrix in the liquid storage chamber 31. This application does not limit the specific structural scheme of the sealing part 52. For example, in some embodiments, the sealing part 52 can be inserted into the injection port 36 and cooperate with the side wall of the injection port 36 to achieve a seal. In other embodiments, the sealing part 52 can also cooperate with the surrounding area of ​​the top 32 corresponding to the injection port 36 to achieve a seal.

[0065] In one embodiment, the liquid collecting component 50 can be a flexible element that can achieve both assembly and sealing effects. For example, the liquid collecting component 50 can be a silicone component, a rubber component, or a plastic component made of any other feasible material.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The nozzle 10 has an airway 13, which, along with a vent 33 and a liquid storage chamber 31, forms an atomization channel 40, allowing the atomized aerosol to be inhaled by the user. To effectively prevent condensate from flowing into the user's mouth during inhalation, the end of the airway 13 that contacts the first liquid suction member 20 can be provided with multiple notches 14. These notches 14 are spaced circumferentially along the wall of the airway 13, with their openings facing the center of the airway 13. This creates multiple recessed areas on the surface of the airway 13, making it less likely for condensate to flow upwards after flowing from near to away from the first liquid suction member 20 into the recessed areas, thus effectively reducing the probability of condensate flowing upwards into the user's mouth.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-5 The suction nozzle 10 includes a connected base shell 15 and an airway column 16. The inner surface of the base shell 15 and the outer surface of the airway column 16 together form the aforementioned air cavity 11. The airway 13 of the suction nozzle 10 penetrates the airway column 16, and a notch 14 is located at the bottom where the airway column 16 contacts the first liquid-absorbing element 20. This contact includes direct contact and partial contact. The notch 14 penetrates the end face of the airway column 16 that contacts the first liquid-absorbing element 20, which can reduce the contact area between the airway column 16 and the first liquid-absorbing element 20, thereby effectively preventing condensate on the first liquid-absorbing element 20 from flowing into the user's mouth. In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 5 The notch 14 can also penetrate the circumferential sidewall of the airway column 16, which can greatly reduce the contact area between the airway column 16 and the first liquid suction member 20. At the same time, the presence of the notch 14 can prevent the condensate from flowing towards the nozzle 10, thereby effectively preventing the condensate from flowing towards the nozzle 10, and can guide the condensate in the airway 13 of the nozzle 10 to flow towards the first liquid suction member 20.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The atomizer 100 also includes a pneumatic switch 70, which is located between the top 32 of the reservoir and the liquid collection member 50. The top 32 of the liquid storage tank 30 is also formed with a clearance portion 36 for accommodating at least part of the pneumatic switch 70. In some embodiments, for the convenience of wiring and fixing, the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 30 is also provided with a clip for fixing the flying wire.

[0069] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an atomizing device 1000, please refer to... Figures 8-10The device includes a power supply 200 and the aforementioned atomizer 100. The power supply 200 and the atomizer 100 are electrically connected, and the power supply 200 provides power to the atomizer 100 and other electrical components of the atomizing device 1000. Because of the atomizer 100, the atomizing device 1000 naturally possesses the beneficial effects of the atomizer 100. It effectively prevents condensate from dripping into the liquid storage chamber 30, reduces the probability of condensate dripping onto the atomizing components, and effectively improves the lateral oil guiding capacity of the first liquid suction element 20. This allows the first liquid suction element 20 to absorb condensate more evenly and effectively, thus balancing performance improvement, manufacturing, and cost control of the atomizer 100.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8-10 The atomizing device 1000 also includes a housing 300, a power supply 200 disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 300, an atomizer 100 inserted in the housing 300, a mouthpiece 10 connected to the housing 300, the atomizer 100 being connected and fixed to the housing 300 via the mouthpiece 10, and a liquid storage chamber 30 and a first liquid suction element 20 being positioned and installed inside the housing 300.

[0071] It should be noted that any structural and functional components of the atomizer 100 and the atomizing device 1000 that are not mentioned or described in detail can be referred to in relevant technologies, and will not be elaborated upon in the embodiments of this application.

[0072] In summary, the atomizer 100 and atomizing device 1000 provided in this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0073] The first liquid-absorbing element 20 can effectively absorb the condensate generated in the atomization channel 40, effectively preventing the condensate from flowing upward along the atomization channel 40 into the mouthpiece 10 or the user's mouth, and also effectively preventing the condensate from dripping into the liquid storage chamber 30, reducing the probability of condensate dripping onto the atomization assembly. In addition, since a drainage groove 34 is provided on the top 32 of the chamber, the drainage groove 34 can promote the flow of the condensate absorbed by the first liquid-absorbing element 20 to the edge of the first liquid-absorbing element 20 away from the atomization channel 40, which can help improve the lateral oil guiding ability of the first liquid-absorbing element 20. This allows the first liquid-absorbing element 20 to absorb the condensate more evenly and effectively, without adjusting the material, thickness, or other dimensions of the first liquid-absorbing element 20. This can improve the liquid absorption capacity and volume of the first liquid-absorbing element 20, and without affecting the humidity and aroma of the aerosol, it balances the performance improvement, manufacturing, and cost control of the atomizer 100.

[0074] The above examples illustrate this application only to aid understanding and are not intended to limit its scope. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented.
