Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The atomizer includes a liquid guiding component and a heating component, which are mounted on a support. The liquid guiding component transfers the atomizing matrix to the heating component, which heats the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. In related technologies, when assembling the heating component onto the support, the limited assembly space restricts the heating area of ​​the component, resulting in low atomization efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an atomizer and atomizing device, which can solve the technical problem of low atomization efficiency of atomizers.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an atomizer comprising a first support, an atomizing support, a liquid guiding element, and a heating element. Both the liquid guiding element and the heating element are sheet-like. The atomizer has a height direction and a first direction. The liquid guiding element is attached to one side of the first support along the first direction and is used to transfer the atomizing matrix. The atomizing support and the first support enclose an atomizing cavity extending along the height direction. The heating element is installed on one side of the atomizing support along the first direction. The atomizing support is positioned on the side of the first support where the liquid guiding element is installed, so that the heating element is attached to the liquid guiding element. The heating element can heat the atomizing matrix transferred by the liquid guiding element to generate an aerosol, which is output through the atomizing cavity.

[0005] In one embodiment, the atomizing bracket has an atomizing opening on one side in the first direction, the atomizing opening is connected to the atomizing chamber, the heating element is installed at the atomizing opening of the atomizing bracket, and the projection of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber adjacent to the atomizing opening along the first direction falls into the atomizing opening.

[0006] In one embodiment, on a cross-section perpendicular to the height direction at the atomization opening of the atomizing bracket, the outline of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber is curved, and the ratio of the distance between the two endpoints of the outline to the length of the outline is 0.3-0.7.

[0007] In one embodiment, in the height direction, the atomizing opening extends through one end of the atomizing support located in the aerosol flow path, and the size of the atomizing opening in the height direction is smaller than the size of the atomizing chamber in the height direction.

[0008] In one embodiment, the atomizer includes a second bracket connected to the side of the first bracket where the liquid guide is mounted. The atomizing bracket is mounted on the second bracket and is located in the inner space formed by the second bracket and the first bracket. The first bracket includes a first top wall whose projection along the height direction covers the heating element, the liquid guide, and the atomizing bracket, and at least partially covers the second bracket.

[0009] In one embodiment, the atomizer includes a third support connected to one end of the first support and the second support in the height direction. At least a portion of the third support has a gap with the ends of the first support, the second support and the atomizing support. The third support, together with the first support, the second support and the atomizing support, forms an air intake chamber. At least one air intake hole is provided on the third support, and the air intake chamber communicates with the atomizing chamber and the air intake hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the third support includes a first bottom wall, a first side wall, and two air inlet pipes. The first side wall is connected to the outer periphery of the first bottom wall along the height direction. The first side wall and the first bottom wall enclose a collection cavity. The two air inlet pipes are housed in the collection cavity and connected to the first bottom wall. The two air inlet pipes are located on opposite sides of the plane where the heating element is located. The side wall of the first support is configured as at least part of the pipe wall of the air inlet pipe. The first bottom wall has an air inlet hole at the connection of the two air inlet pipes. The air inlet hole is connected to the air inlet cavity through the air inlet pipe. The pipe walls of the two air inlet pipes each have an air inlet on one side perpendicular to the height direction. The air inlet hole can be connected to the air inlet cavity through the air inlet.

[0011] In one embodiment, the air inlet is a notch formed in the wall of the air inlet pipe, and the inner wall of the first side wall is configured as one of the side walls of the notch. In a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the openings of the notches on the walls of the two air inlets face opposite directions. And / or, the collection chamber contains a first liquid suction member, and at least one of the first support, the second support, and the atomizing support protrudes and is provided with a limiting member, which abuts against the first liquid suction member to restrict the movement of the first liquid suction member.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first support further includes a second sidewall, which encloses an oil supply channel extending along the height direction. An oil supply hole is provided on one side of the second sidewall, which is connected to the oil supply channel. A liquid guide is installed at the oil supply hole on the second sidewall, and the second support is connected to the second sidewall. A first top wall is connected to the side of the second sidewall where the liquid guide is installed. The first top wall is located at the end of the second sidewall away from the third support. The two opposite ends of the second support in the height direction abut against the first top wall and the third support, respectively. One end of the atomizing support in the height direction abuts against the first top wall. The first top wall has an air passage hole that is connected to the atomizing chamber.

[0013] Another aspect of this application provides an atomizing device, which includes an atomizer as described above and an atomizing host, the atomizing host being used to control the working state of the atomizer.

[0014] The atomizer provided in this application includes a first support, an atomizing support, a liquid guiding component, and a heating component. Both the liquid guiding component and the heating component are sheet-like. The atomizer has a height direction and a first direction. The liquid guiding component is attached to one side of the first support along the first direction. The atomizing support and the first support together form an atomizing cavity extending along the height direction. The heating component is installed on one side of the atomizing support along the first direction. The atomizing support is positioned on the side of the first support where the liquid guiding component is installed, so that the heating component is attached to the liquid guiding component. In the atomizer provided in this application, the first support and the atomizing support are relatively independently arranged. Before the atomizing support is connected to the first support, both the first support and the atomizing support have unobstructed open spaces on opposite sides in the first direction, allowing for a relatively large assembly and operation space for the liquid guiding component and the heating component. Since both the liquid guiding component and the heating component are sheet-like, they have a relatively large heating area, and the relatively large assembly and operation space for the heating component allows for more flexible setting of the heating area, thereby improving the atomization efficiency of the atomizer.

[0043] 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.

[0044] In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The terms "first," "second," and "third" in the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific orientation (as shown in the figures). If the specific orientation changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] This application provides an atomizing device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 The atomizing device 100 may include an atomizer 10 and an atomizing host 20. The atomizer 10 has a liquid storage chamber 1112, which stores the atomizing matrix. The atomizer 10 is used to atomize the atomizing matrix into an aerosol. The atomizing host 20 is used to control the working state of the atomizer 10. For example, the atomizing host 20 can control the atomizer 10 to heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol or stop heating according to the user's inhalation action. The atomizer 10 and the atomizing host 20 may be fixedly connected or detachably connected. When the atomizer 10 and the atomizing host 20 are detachably connected, if the remaining amount of atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 1112 is less than a preset value, the user can easily separate the atomizer 10 from the atomizing host 20. The atomizing device 100 can continue to be used after replacing the atomizer 10, allowing the atomizing host 20 to be used multiple times, thereby reducing the user's operating costs.

[0047] Please see Figures 2-7The atomizer 10 may include an oil cup 11, a support assembly 12, a heating element 13, a liquid guide 14, and an electrode 15. The oil cup 11 has a liquid storage chamber 1112 for storing the atomizing matrix. Optionally, the oil cup 11 includes an oil cup housing 111, an oil cup base 112, an airway tube 113, and a mouthpiece plug 114. The oil cup housing 111 is provided with a mouthpiece 1111, which can be used by a user to perform a suction action. The airway tube 113 is housed within the oil cup housing 111, and one end of the airway tube 113 is connected to the mouthpiece 1111 so that aerosol can be transferred to the mouthpiece 1111 via the airway tube 113. The oil cup base 112 is installed on the oil cup housing 111 and the end of the airway tube 113 away from the mouthpiece 1111, and the oil cup base 112, together with the oil cup housing 111 and the airway tube 113, forms the liquid storage chamber 1112. When the atomizer 10 is not in operation, the mouthpiece plug 114 can be inserted into the mouthpiece 1111 to seal the airway tube 113, preventing external dust from entering the airway tube 113 and thus maintaining the cleanliness of the airway tube 113. The support assembly 12 is installed at the end of the oil cup housing 111 away from the mouthpiece 1111. The heating element 13 and the liquid guide 14 are installed inside the support assembly 12. The oil cup base 112 has an oil supply port 1121, and the support assembly 12 has an oil supply channel 1214 communicating with the oil supply port 1121 and an oil supply hole 1215, with the oil supply hole 1215 located on one side of the oil supply channel 1214. The liquid guide 14 is installed inside the support assembly 12 at the opening of the oil supply hole 1215, and the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 1112 can be transferred to the liquid guide 14 through the oil supply port 1121, the oil supply channel 1214, and the oil supply hole 1215. A liquid guide 14 is disposed on one side of the heating element 13. The liquid guide 14 is used to transfer the atomizing matrix to the heating element 13, which can heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The liquid guide 14 is a porous medium, such as fiber cotton, which can adsorb the atomizing matrix and thus transfer it to the heating element 13. An electrode 15 is inserted into the support assembly 12 and is electrically connected to the heating element 13, so that the heating element 13 can establish an electrical connection with the battery in the atomizing host 20 through the electrode 15, thereby providing power for the operation of the heating element 13.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-5As shown, the atomizer 10 also includes an activator 18. The activator 18 seals the oil supply port 1215. Before the atomizer 10 is activated, the activator 18 seals the atomizing matrix in the reservoir chamber 1112, preventing leakage of the atomizing matrix during transportation or long-term storage of the atomizer 10. The activator 18 can be moved and open the oil supply port 1215 under external action, allowing the atomizing matrix in the reservoir chamber 1112 to be transferred to the heating element 13. By setting the activator 18 to move and open the oil supply port 1215 under external action to activate the atomizer 10, the activation operation of the atomizer 10 is simple and quick, improving the ease of use of the atomizer 10.

[0049] The activator 18 can be a one-piece structure. For example, one end of the activator 18 is housed in the oil supply channel 1214 to seal the oil supply port 1215 located on one side of the oil supply channel 1214; the other end of the activator 18 is at least partially exposed outside the bracket assembly 12, and the user can apply force to the activator 18 through the exposed portion to move the activator 18 under external action and open the oil supply port 1215. Alternatively, as... Figures 3-5 As shown, the activator 18 has a split structure, including a sealing part 181 and an operating part 182. The sealing part 181 is housed in the oil supply channel 1214 and seals the oil supply hole 1215 located on one side of the oil supply channel 1214. The operating part 182 is connected to the sealing part 181 and is at least partially exposed in the bracket assembly 12. The user can apply force to the sealing part 181 through the operating part 182 to drive the sealing part 181 to move and open the oil supply hole 1215. The activation component 18 includes a sealing part 181 and an operating part 182. The activation component 18 has a split structure, which allows the sealing part 181 and the operating part 182 to be made of different materials. For example, the sealing part 181 can be made of a material with good compressibility, such as silicone or rubber, to facilitate sealing the oil supply hole 1215; while the operating part 182 can be made of a material with relatively high hardness to reduce the deformation of the operating part 182 when a force is applied to the sealing part 181 through the operating part 182, thereby facilitating the activation operation.

[0050] The atomizer 20 may include a battery (not shown), a circuit board (not shown), and an airflow sensor (not shown). The battery provides power for the atomizer 100 during operation. The airflow sensor can be mounted on the circuit board, facilitating modular assembly of components and improving production efficiency. The airflow sensor is configured to control the electrical connection between the atomizer 10 and the battery based on the user's inhalation action. Specifically, when the user inhales through the mouthpiece 1111, the airflow sensor senses a change in airflow and controls the atomizer 10 to connect to the battery, allowing the atomizer 10 to heat the atomization matrix and generate an aerosol. When the user stops inhaling, if the airflow sensor does not sense a change in airflow within a preset time, it controls the atomizer 10 to disconnect from the battery, and the atomizer 10 stops heating. The specific internal structure of the atomizer 20 will not be described in detail.

[0051] The support assembly 12 can be a one-piece structure. For example, the support assembly 12 is injection molded in one piece, and the support assembly 12 has an internal space for mounting the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-12 As shown, the support assembly 12 has a split structure, including a first support 121 and an atomizing support 124. Both the liquid guide 14 and the heating element 13 are sheet-shaped. The heating element 13 is sheet-shaped and has a planar structure; the planar heating element 13 has a relatively large heating area, which can improve the atomization efficiency of the atomizer 10. The liquid guide 14 is sheet-shaped to facilitate adaptation to the planar heating element 13. The atomizer 10 has a height direction and a first direction. Exemplarily, the height direction can be... Figure 5 The Z-axis direction in the diagram, the first direction can be... Figure 5The liquid guide 14 is attached to one side of the first bracket 121 along the first direction. Since the first bracket 121 is independently configured relative to the atomizing bracket 124, before the first bracket 121 is connected to the atomizing bracket 124, one side of the first bracket 121 is an unobstructed open space. The placement of the liquid guide 14 along the first direction on one side of the first bracket 121 allows for a relatively large assembly operation space for the liquid guide 14, thus facilitating the assembly of the planar liquid guide 14. The atomizing bracket 124 and the first bracket 121 enclose an atomizing cavity 1241 extending along the height direction. The heating element 13 is installed on one side of the atomizing bracket 124 along the first direction. The heating element 13 is mounted on one side of the atomizing bracket 124 along the first direction. Since the atomizing bracket 124 is independently set relative to the first bracket 121, before the atomizing bracket 124 is connected to the first bracket 121, one side of the atomizing bracket 124 is an open space without obstruction. This allows for a relatively large assembly operation space for the heating element 13, facilitating the assembly of the planar heating element 13. The heating area of ​​the heating element 13 can be set more flexibly, which can improve the atomization efficiency of the atomizer 10. The atomizing bracket 124 is set on the side of the first bracket 121 where the liquid guiding component 14 is installed, so that the heating element 13 is attached to the liquid guiding component 14. The heating element 13 can heat the atomizing matrix transferred by the liquid guiding component 14 to generate an aerosol, which is output through the atomization chamber 1241.

[0053] The atomizer 10 provided in this application has, on the one hand, a liquid guiding component 14 attached to one side of the first bracket 121 along the first direction, and a heating component 13 installed on one side of the atomizing bracket 124 along the first direction. Since the first bracket 121 and the atomizing bracket 124 are relatively independently arranged, before the atomizing bracket 124 is connected to the first bracket 121, the first bracket 121 and the atomizing bracket 124 are both open spaces without obstruction on the opposite side of the first direction. This allows for a relatively large assembly operation space for the liquid guiding component 14 and the heating component 13, thus facilitating the assembly of the planar liquid guiding component 14 and the heating component 13. On the other hand, both the liquid guiding component 14 and the heating component 13 are sheet-shaped, and the heating component 13 has a planar structure. The planar heating component 13 has a relatively large heating area, and the assembly operation space for the heating component 13 is relatively large, making the heating area setting of the heating component 13 more flexible and improving the atomization efficiency of the atomizer 10.

[0054] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7In one embodiment, the heating element 13 includes a heating portion 131, a connecting portion 132, an electrode portion 133, and a pin 134. The electrode portion 133 is used for electrical connection with an external power source. The external power source refers to a power source located outside the heating element 13, such as a battery in the atomizing host 20. The pin 134 is connected to the electrode portion 133 and can be used to establish an electrical connection between the heating portion 131 and the external power source. The electrode portion 133 is disposed on a first plane to facilitate the formation of a planar heating element 13. Exemplarily, the first plane can be... Figure 6 The heating element 131 is parallel to the XOZ plane. An electrode portion 133 encloses and forms an installation space 1333. A heating element 131 is used to generate heat when energized, and can heat the atomized matrix to generate an aerosol when energized. The heating element 131 is housed within the installation space 1333. A connecting portion 132 connects the electrode portion 133 and the heating element 131, and the connecting portion 132 connects the electrode portion 133 and the heating element 131 into a single structure on a first plane, so that the heating element 131, the connecting portion 132, and the electrode portion 133 are all located on the first plane, thereby forming a planar heating element 13. By housing the heating element 131 within the installation space 1333 enclosed by the electrode portion 133, the electrode portion 133 is protected on the outer periphery of the heating element 131. During the assembly of the heating element 13, the heating element 131 is less likely to be touched, thereby reducing deformation of the heating element 131 during assembly and improving the assembly consistency of the heating element 13.

[0055] Please see 8- Figure 12 The atomizing bracket 124 has an atomizing opening 1242 on one side in the first direction. The atomizing opening 1242 connects to the atomizing chamber 1241. The heating element 13 is installed at the atomizing opening 1242 of the atomizing bracket 124. The projection of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 1241 adjacent to the atomizing opening 1242 along the first direction falls within the atomizing opening 1242. With this configuration, in a reference plane perpendicular to the first direction, the opening area of ​​the atomizing opening 1242 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner space formed by the inner wall of the adjacent atomizing chamber 1241. This makes the atomizing opening 1242 a funnel-shaped opening on one side of the atomizing chamber 1241, and the atomizing opening 1242 has a relatively large opening area. As a result, the heating element 13 installed at the atomizing opening 1242 has a large heating area, which can improve the atomization efficiency.

[0056] In the cross-section perpendicular to the height direction at the atomization opening 1242 of the atomizing bracket 124, the outline of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 1241 can be a straight line. For example, the cross-section of the atomizing chamber 1241 perpendicular to the height direction can be rectangular. Or, as... Figure 9As shown, the contour line of the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 1241 is curved. Setting the contour line as curved makes the inner wall of the atomizing chamber 1241 smoother, thereby reducing resistance to the aerosol. The ratio of the distance between the two endpoints of the contour line to the length of the contour line is 0.3-0.7. Studies have found that if the ratio of the distance between the two endpoints of the contour line to the length of the contour line is less than 0.3, the distance between the two endpoints of the contour line is small, resulting in a smaller atomizing opening 1242, which will limit the heating area of ​​the heating element 13 installed at the atomizing opening 1242 and may affect atomization efficiency; if the ratio of the distance between the two endpoints of the contour line to the length of the contour line is greater than 0.7, the length of the contour line is small, resulting in a smaller internal space of the atomizing chamber 1241, which may lead to insufficient aerosol flow and affect the taste. For example, the ratio of the distance between the two endpoints of the contour line to the length of the contour line is 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, or 0.7.

[0057] The atomizing opening 1242 can be a through hole, and the heating element 13 is installed at the through hole of the atomizing bracket 124. Or, as... Figure 9 As shown in Figure 12, the atomizing opening 1242 is a notch. In the height direction, the atomizing opening 1242 penetrates the end of the atomizing support 124 located in the aerosol flow path. The dimension of the atomizing opening 1242 in the height direction is smaller than the dimension of the atomizing cavity 1241 in the height direction. By setting the atomizing opening 1242 to penetrate the end of the atomizing support 124 located in the aerosol flow path, one end of the atomizing support 124 in the aerosol flow path is an open end, ensuring that the atomizing support 124 does not obstruct the aerosol flow, resulting in smoother aerosol flow. By setting the dimension of the atomizing opening 1242 in the height direction to be smaller than the dimension of the atomizing cavity 1241 in the height direction, the atomizing opening 1242 does not penetrate the other end of the atomizing support 124, reducing the weakening effect of the atomizing opening 1242 on the strength of the atomizing support 124, thus giving the atomizing support 124 better overall integrity.

[0058] The first support 121 and the atomizing support 124 are arranged relatively independently, allowing them to be made of different materials. For example, the first support 121 can be made of a material with relatively high hardness, such as plastic, which reduces deformation during assembly. The atomizing support 124 can be made of a material with good temperature resistance and relatively low hardness, such as silicone. The high-temperature resistant material reduces the impact of the heating element 13's heat on the atomizing support 124, while the relatively low hardness material has some elasticity, allowing it to deform elastically under pressure during assembly, sealing the assembly gaps between components and improving the airtightness of the atomizing chamber 1241. The first support includes a first top wall 1212, whose projection along its height covers the heating element 13, the liquid guiding element 14, and the atomizing support 124, and at least partially covers the second support 122. This arrangement improves the overall integrity of the atomizer 10 and makes the structure more reliable. Furthermore, a complete air passage 1216 can be formed on the first top wall 1212.

[0059] Optionally, the atomizer holder 124 is directly connected to the first holder 121, so that the two can form a relatively independent module before being assembled into the oil cup 11. Alternatively, the atomizer holder 124 is indirectly connected to the first holder 121 through other components. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-6 , Figures 8-13 In one embodiment, the support assembly 12 includes a second support 122 connected to the side of the first support 121 where the liquid guide 14 is mounted. An atomizing support 124 is mounted on the second support 122, located within the inner space formed by the second support 122 and the first support 121. The first support 121 and the second support 122 can be mounted on the end of the oil cup housing 111 away from the nozzle 1111. The atomizing support 124 and the second support 122, as well as the second support 122 and the first support 121, can be connected by adhesive, snap-fit, or screw connections. Since the heating element 13 is mounted on the atomizing support 124 and does not directly contact the second support 122, the temperature resistance and elastic deformation performance requirements of the second support 122 are relatively low, allowing the second support 122 to be made of a material with relatively high hardness, such as plastic. The atomizing bracket 124 is installed on the second bracket 122. The atomizing bracket 124 is located in the inner space formed by the second bracket 122 and the first bracket 121, so that the second bracket 122 and the first bracket 121 form a protective shell on the side of the atomizing bracket 124. The atomizing bracket 124 is not easily touched during the assembly process, which can reduce the deformation of the atomizing bracket 124 during the assembly process.

[0060] Please see Figures 2-6 , Figures 8-14The bracket assembly 12 includes a third bracket 123, which is connected to one end of the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 in the height direction. The third bracket 123 can be connected to the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 by means of adhesive bonding, snap-fit, or screwing. By setting the third bracket 123 at one end of the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122, the third bracket 123 forms a protective shell for the end of the atomizing bracket 124, which can further reduce the possibility of the atomizing bracket 124 being touched during assembly, thereby reducing the deformation of the atomizing bracket 124 during assembly. In addition, the third bracket 123 is connected to one end of the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122, the atomizing bracket 124 is installed on the second bracket 122, and the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14 are respectively installed on the first bracket 121 and the atomizing bracket 124, so that the first bracket 121, the second bracket 122, the third bracket 123, the atomizing bracket 124, the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14 form a relatively independent module, which can realize modular assembly and thus improve production efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, the atomizing chamber 1241 is directly connected to the outside air. For example, the atomizing bracket 124 abuts against the third bracket 123, the third bracket 123 has an opening, and the atomizing chamber 1241 is connected to the outside air through the opening on the third bracket 123. Alternatively, the atomizing chamber 1241 is indirectly connected to the outside air. Figure 8 As shown, at least a portion of the third support 123 has gaps between it and the ends of the first support 121, the second support 122, and the atomizing support 124. The third support 123, together with the first support 121, the second support 122, and the atomizing support 124, forms an air intake chamber 1234. At least one air inlet 1236 is provided on the third support 123. The air intake chamber 1234 connects the atomizing chamber 1241 and the air inlet 1236. The atomizing chamber 1241 is indirectly connected to the external air through the air intake chambers 1234 formed between the supports. The airflow flows through the air intake chambers 1234 to the heating element 13. The air intake chambers 1234 form a buffer space for the airflow, which can reduce the flow rate of the airflow in the atomizing chamber 1241, thereby preventing the airflow rate from being too fast and directly impacting the heating element 13, thus affecting the taste of the aerosol.

[0062] The number of air intake vents 1236 can be one, two, three, or more; no specific limitation is made here. The more air intake vents 1236 there are, the more channels there are for external air to enter the air intake chamber 1234, and the more uniform the airflow in the air intake chamber 1234.

[0063] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 14In one embodiment, two air inlets 1236 are provided. The third support 123 includes a first bottom wall 1231, a first side wall 1232, and two air inlets 1233. The first side wall 1232 is connected to the outer periphery of the first bottom wall 1231 along the height direction, and the first side wall 1232 and the first bottom wall 1231 enclose a collection cavity 1235. The collection cavity 1235 can be used to recover the atomizing matrix that seeps out of the atomizing cavity 1241 to prevent leakage of the atomizing matrix. The two air inlets 1233 are housed in the collection cavity 1235 and connected to the first bottom wall 1231. The two air inlets 1233 can extend along the height direction, and the two air inlets 1233 are respectively located on opposite sides of the plane where the heating element 13 is located. For example, the line connecting the geometric centers of the two air inlet pipes 1233 in a reference section perpendicular to the height direction is perpendicular to the plane where the heating element 13 is located. This allows the two air inlet pipes 1233 to be positioned away from the heating element 13 on the first bottom wall 1231, thereby using the area of ​​the first bottom wall 1231 near the heating element 13 for mounting the electrode 15. This facilitates the electrical connection between the electrode 15 and the heating element 13 and improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the third support 123. The side wall 1232 of the first support is configured as at least a portion of the pipe wall of the air inlet pipe 1233. This configuration, on the one hand, allows the air inlet pipe 1233 to be close to the outer edge of the third support 123, reducing the space occupied by the air inlet pipe 1233 in the internal space of the collection chamber 1235; on the other hand, the sharing of a portion of the pipe wall of the air inlet pipe 1233 with the side wall 1232 of the first support saves material and reduces costs. The first bottom wall 1231 has an air inlet 1236 at the connection of the two air inlet pipes 1233, and the air inlet 1236 is connected to the air inlet chamber 1234 through the air inlet pipe 1233. The number of air inlets 1236 is two, and external air can enter the air inlet chamber 1234 through two channels. This can make the airflow in the air inlet chamber 1234 more uniform, and also prevent excessive openings from weakening the strength of the third support 123.

[0064] The air inlet 1236 can communicate with the air intake chamber 1234 through the opening at one end of the air intake pipe 1233 near the atomizing bracket 124. Or, as Figure 14As shown, each of the two air intake pipes 1233 has an air inlet 1237 on one side perpendicular to the height direction. The air inlet 1236 can communicate with the air intake chamber 1234 through the air inlet 1237. The provision that the air inlet 1236 can communicate with the air intake chamber 1234 through the air inlet 1237 located on one side of the air intake pipe 1233 increases the communication path between the air inlet 1236 and the air intake chamber 1234. Even if the opening of the air intake pipe 1233 near the atomizing bracket 124 is blocked, the air inlet 1236 can still communicate with the air intake chamber 1234 through the air inlet 1237 located on one side of the air intake pipe 1233, thereby improving the reliability of the communication between the air inlet 1236 and the air intake chamber 1234. Furthermore, by placing the air inlet 1237 on one side of the wall of the air inlet pipe 1233, if the relevant components of the air inlet pipe 1233 near the atomizing bracket 124 move toward the air inlet pipe 1233, for example, when the atomizer 10 is activated, the operating part 182 drives the sealing part 181 to move toward the air inlet pipe 1233 to open the oil supply hole 1215. At this time, the end of the air inlet pipe 1233 near the atomizing bracket 124 can restrict the movement of the sealing part 181, making the air inlet 1237 less likely to be blocked by the relevant components, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the air inlet 1236 and the air inlet chamber 1234.

[0065] The air inlet 1237 can be a through hole formed in the wall of the air intake pipe 1233, so that the air inlet 1236 can communicate with the air intake chamber 1234 through the through hole. Or, as... Figure 14 As shown, the air inlet 1237 is a notch formed in the wall of the air intake pipe 1233. The notch design of the air inlet 1237 serves two purposes: firstly, it makes the air inlet 1237 open, which is easier to manufacture compared to a closed air inlet 1237; secondly, with the same opening area, the notch can be closer to the end of the air intake pipe 1233 furthest from the first bottom wall 1231, thereby reducing the impact of the air inlet 1237 on the effective volume of the collection chamber 1235. The inner wall of the first side wall 1232 is configured as one side wall of the notch. This configuration brings the notch close to the inner wall of the first side wall 1232, which guides the airflow entering the air intake chamber 1234 along its inner wall. The airflow moves from the outer periphery of the air intake chamber 1234 towards the central region, facilitating the filling of the air intake chamber 1234 and resulting in a more uniform airflow distribution within it. In a plane perpendicular to the height direction, the openings of the notches on the walls of the two intake pipes 1233 face opposite directions. Setting the openings of the two notches to face opposite directions allows the inner wall of the first side wall 1232 to guide the airflow into the intake chamber 1234 to flow in opposite directions, facilitating the entry of gas into the intake chamber 1234 from different directions, thereby making the airflow distribution in the intake chamber 1234 more uniform.

[0066] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 13 In one embodiment, the collection chamber 1235 contains a first liquid-absorbing member 17. The first liquid-absorbing member 17 can absorb the atomizing matrix seeping out of the atomizing chamber 1241, which can further prevent leakage of the atomizing matrix. At least one of the first support 121, the second support 122, and the atomizing support 124 is provided with a limiting member 1221, which abuts against the first liquid-absorbing member 17 to restrict the movement of the first liquid-absorbing member 17. The limiting member 1221 can be provided in any one of the first support 121, the second support 122, and the atomizing support 124, or it can be two of the three, or all three can be provided with a limiting member 1221. Figure 13 Taking the limiting member 1221 installed in the second bracket 122 as an example, by setting the limiting member 1221 to restrict the movement of the first liquid suction member 17, the position of the first liquid suction member 17 is relatively fixed, which can reduce the possibility that the air inlet 1237 is blocked by the first liquid suction member 17, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the air inlet 1236 and the air inlet chamber 1234.

[0067] Please see Figures 8-11 In one embodiment, the first bracket 121 includes a second side wall 1211 and a first top wall 1212. The second side wall 1211 encloses and forms an oil supply channel 1214 extending in the height direction. An oil supply hole 1215 is provided on one side of the second side wall 1211, and the oil supply hole 1215 is connected to the oil supply channel 1214. The oil supply channel 1214 extends along the height direction, and the oil supply hole 1215 is opened on one side of the second side wall 1211, so that the oil supply channel 1214 can provide a receiving space for the sealing part 181. The sealing part 181 seals the oil supply hole 1215. Before the atomizer 10 is activated, the sealing part 181 seals the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 1112, which can prevent the atomizing matrix from leaking during the transportation of the atomizer 10 or during long-term storage. When it is necessary to activate the atomizer 10, the operating part 182 is pulled along the height direction. The operating part 182 drives the sealing part 181 to move and open the oil supply hole 1215, thereby activating the atomizer 10, making the activation operation of the atomizer 10 convenient and quick. The liquid guide 14 is installed at the oil supply hole 1215 of the second side wall 1211. After the atomizer 10 is activated, the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 1112 can be transferred to the liquid guide 14 through the oil supply hole 1215 so that the liquid guide 14 can transfer the atomizing matrix to the heating element 13.

[0068] Please see Figures 8-13The second support 122 is connected to the second side wall 1211, making it difficult for the second support 122 to separate from the first support 121 in the vertical direction of height, thus enhancing the overall integrity of the support assembly 12. The first top wall 1212 is connected to the side of the second side wall 1211 where the liquid guide 14 is installed. The first top wall 1212 is located at the end of the second side wall 1211 away from the third support 123. The two opposite ends of the second support 122 in the vertical direction abut against the first top wall 1212 and the third support 123, respectively. By connecting the first top wall 1212 to one side of the second side wall 1211, and the two opposite ends of the second support 122 in the vertical direction abutting against the first top wall 1212 and the third support 123, the first top wall 1212 and the third support 123 can restrict the movement of the second support 122 in the vertical direction, thereby further enhancing the overall integrity of the support assembly 12.

[0069] Generally, to enhance the airtightness of the liquid storage chamber 1112, the oil cup base 112 sealing the liquid storage chamber 1112 is usually made of a relatively low-hardness elastic material, such as silicone. However, this can cause the oil cup base 112 to easily deform and shift, thereby compressing components located below the oil cup base 112 and affecting the reliability of the atomizer 10, such as the heating element 13 and the liquid guiding element 14. Please refer to... Figures 8-11 In one embodiment, the projection of the first top wall 1212 along its height direction covers the heating element 13, the liquid guiding element 14, and the atomizing support 124, and at least partially covers the second support 122. Since the first top wall 1212 is connected to one side of the second side wall 1211, forming an integral structure, the oil cup base 112 can be fitted onto both the first top wall 1212 and the second side wall 1211. The first support 121 provides good support for the oil cup base 112, thereby limiting its displacement. The arrangement of the first top wall 1212 covering the heating element 13, the liquid guiding element 14, and the atomizing support 124, and at least partially covering the second support 122, prevents the oil cup base 112 from compressing the lower components, thus improving the reliability of the atomizer 10. The oil cup base 112 has an oil supply port 1121, which connects the oil supply channel 1214 and the liquid storage chamber 1112. An oil supply port 1121 is provided in the oil cup base 112 to connect the oil supply channel 1214, so that the oil cup base 112 can seal the end of the oil supply channel 1214, thereby enhancing the airtightness of the oil supply channel 1214.

[0070] like Figure 8As shown, one end of the atomizing support 124 in the height direction abuts against the first top wall 1212. The first top wall 1212 has an air passage hole 1216, which connects the atomizing chamber 1241 and the air passage tube 113. As mentioned earlier, the atomizing support 124 can be made of silicone, which has good compressibility. Setting the atomizing support 124 against the first top wall 1212 can enhance the sealing of the connection between the air passage hole 1216 and the atomizing chamber 1241. The atomizer 10 includes a second liquid suction element 16, which is disposed at the air passage hole 1216 of the first top wall 1212. The air passage tube 113 abuts against the second liquid suction element 16, and the air passage tube 113 can restrict the movement of the second liquid suction element 16. The second liquid suction element 16 can absorb condensate in the aerosol or un-atomized atomized matrix mixed in the aerosol, thereby improving the taste of the aerosol.
