[0030] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4The embodiments of this application provide an electronic atomizer, including an atomizer body 1, a power supply 2, a light-emitting component 3, a light-guiding component 4, and a light-transmitting shell 6. The atomizer body 1 includes an oil cup assembly 101 and a mouthpiece 102. The mouthpiece 102 is located at the top of the oil cup assembly 101 and the two are connected. The atomized e-liquid in the oil cup assembly 101 can be sprayed out through the mouthpiece 102. The light-emitting component 3 is attached and fixed to one side of the oil cup assembly 101. The light guide component 4 is located on the side of the light-emitting component 3 away from the oil cup assembly 101. The light guide component 4 covers the light-emitting component 3 and is fixed on the oil cup assembly 101. The light emitted by the light-emitting component 3 is directed to the light guide component 4 and then directed outward through the light guide component 4. The power supply 2 is installed at the bottom of the oil cup assembly 101 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting component 3 to provide power. The light-transmitting shell 6 is fitted on the oil cup assembly 101. The light-transmitting shell 6 simultaneously houses and encloses the oil cup assembly 101, the light guide component 4, and the light-emitting component 3. The light-transmitting shell 6 has a light-transmitting effect, and the light directed by the light guide component 4 can be seen through the light-transmitting shell 6. The shape of the light-transmitting shell 6 includes, but is not limited to, cylindrical, cuboid, and other geometric shapes, and the color of the light-transmitting shell 6 includes, but is not limited to, black, red, white, green, and other colors.

[0031] At the same time, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting component 3 includes a light-emitting element 301, a display panel 302, and a circuit board 303. The circuit board 303 is attached and fixed to one side of the oil cup assembly 101 and connected to the power supply 2 to obtain electrical energy. The light-emitting element 301 and the display panel 302 are respectively disposed on the circuit board 303 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 303. The circuit board 303 controls the light-emitting element 301 and the display panel 302 separately and independently. That is, the circuit board 303 can control either the light-emitting element 301 or the display panel 302 to emit light individually, or it can control the light-emitting element 301 and the display panel 302 to emit light simultaneously. The light guide component 4 is stacked on the surface of the circuit board 303 away from the atomizer body 1. The light guide component 4 is provided with a mounting hole 5, and the display panel 302 is disposed in the mounting hole 5. The light-incident side of the light guide component 4 corresponds to the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 301. The light guide component 4 is used to guide the light from the light-emitting element 301, while the light from the display panel 302 is directly directed to the light-transmitting housing 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the light-emitting element 301 and the display panel 302 enable the electronic atomizer to emit light and enhance its visibility in low-light environments. There is no risk of the light-emitting element 301 or the display panel 302 falling off or wearing out, and the light-transmitting housing 6 protects the light-emitting component 3 and the light-guiding component 4. Furthermore, the light-emitting component 3 and the light-guiding component 4 in this application can be integrated into a single unit, achieving a high degree of integration to facilitate subsequent installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the electronic atomizer, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the light-emitting element 301 includes a plurality of LEDs, which are evenly spaced around the display panel 302. For details, see [link to details]. Figure 2 The display panel 302 is positioned among multiple LEDs arranged in a circle, with consistent spacing between each LED. The LEDs can emit the same or different colors. This existing device displays the remaining e-liquid in the e-liquid cup assembly 101, providing a digital indication. It can also display the remaining battery level of the atomizer, again digitally. This enhances the user experience, allowing users to fully charge and refill the atomizer before taking it out.

[0034] In this embodiment, a circular digital tube is designed on the circuit board 303 to form the display panel 302. Then, a whole circle of side-emitting LEDs are arranged along the edge of the circular digital tube. The circuit board 303 can control the whole circle of LEDs to achieve a multi-directional alternating light emission effect, realizing a multi-directional light display.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to reduce the production cost of electronic atomizers and improve production efficiency, this application proposes to highly integrate the light guide component 4 into a single unit. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the light guide assembly 4 includes an adhesive layer 403, a reflective layer 404, a light guide layer 402, and a color filter layer 401 stacked sequentially, wherein the color filter layer 401 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the light-transmitting housing 6; the mounting hole 5 penetrates the adhesive layer 403, the reflective layer 404, the light guide layer 402, and the color filter layer 401, the light-incident side of the light guide layer 402 corresponds to the light-emitting side of each LED lamp, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 301 is transmitted through the light guide layer 402, the adhesive layer 403 is located on the surface of the reflective layer 404 away from the light guide layer 402, and the adhesive layer 403 is used to connect the light guide assembly 4 to the atomizer body 1.

[0036] Specifically, the color filter layer 401 has a white base color and is made of PET material. The outer side of the color filter layer 401 has a UI pattern, and the inner side is fully adhesive. The outer side of the light guide layer 402 is mirror-like, and the surface of the light guide layer 402 facing the reflective layer 404 has at least one of optical concave dots and optical convex dots. The adhesive layer 403 is made of EVA foam, and both its inner and outer sides are black and fully adhesive. The reflective layer 404 is made of PET material, with a silver outer side and full adhesive, and a reflectivity of over 90% on the outer side. The inner side of the reflective layer 404 is black and fully adhesive.

[0037] The electronic atomizer in this embodiment also includes a light-shielding component 7, which is located between the display panel 302 and the light-emitting component 301 to block the light transmission between the light-emitting component 301 and the display panel 302. Specifically, the display panel 302 is circular, so the light-shielding component 7 is correspondingly annular. The light-shielding component 7 is black and made of PET material, with adhesive backing on the inner side. The light-shielding component 7 is used to cover the area of ​​the light guide assembly 4 near the display panel 302, leaving a blank space between the light-emitting component 301 and the display panel 302 to avoid strong halos around the display panel 302.

[0038] In this embodiment, the light guide assembly 4 is composed of four layers of material. The light source is provided by the light-emitting assembly 3. The light-emitting element 301 undergoes total internal reflection and diffuse reflection inside the light guide assembly 4, resulting in a uniform distribution of light throughout the entire light guide assembly 4 and providing a good backlight effect for the pattern display on the color film layer 401. Multiple LEDs working together with the pattern display can achieve multi-directional movement. The circuit board 303 is responsible for coordinating the multi-directional movement of the atomizer body 1 and the lights, including battery management, smoke generation control, and display effect adjustment.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the electronic atomizer is in use, the circuit board 303 synchronously controls the atomization of e-liquid in the electronic atomizer and the illumination of the light-emitting component 3. While smoking, one can see the light pattern display of the light guide component 4, and the display effect is a multi-directional running light.

[0040] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
