The flavoring element 3 is disposed in the mounting cavity 4. The opening 111 allows for the detachable insertion of the flavoring component 100 into the electronic atomizing device 200, enabling the electronic atomizing device 200 to be externally connected to the flavoring component 100. When switching flavors, the user simply removes the original flavoring component 100 from the electronic atomizing device 200 and inserts a different flavoring component 100, making the operation simple. Furthermore, the fragrance enhancement component 100 has a low cost, reducing user operating costs. The fragrance enhancement component 100 also supports recycling, improving environmental protection.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-3 The inner wall of the mounting cavity 4 is provided with a groove 122. The flavor enhancer 3 and the groove 122 define an airflow channel 5 that communicates with the air inlet 121, so that the external airflow can fully contact the flavor enhancer 3 after passing through the air inlet 121 and the airflow channel 5, and carry the fragrance of the flavor enhancer 3 to the air inlet channel of the electronic atomizing device 200.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The groove 122 and the air inlet 121 are both located at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The side wall of the insertion slot 21 is provided with a sealing rib 23, which is arranged around the perimeter. The sealing rib 23 is used to abut against the outer side wall of the electronic atomizing device 200, thereby sealing the electronic atomizing device 200.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 There are multiple sealing ribs 23, which are spaced apart. The sealing ribs 23 are used to seal the electronic atomizing device 200 to improve the sealing performance.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The outer shell 1 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​structure 112, which is located on the side wall of the opening 111. The first snap-fit ​​structure 112 is used to snap-fit ​​with the second snap-fit ​​structure of the electronic atomizing device 200 so as to connect and fix the aroma-enhancing component 100 and the electronic atomizing device 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, one of the first latching structure 112 and the second latching structure of the electronic atomizing device 200 is a first latching portion, and the other is a first latching slot. As an example, the first latching structure 112 is the first latching portion, and the second latching structure of the electronic atomizing device 200 is the first latching slot.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer casing 1 includes a first casing 11 and a second casing 12, which are detachably connected.

An air inlet 121 is provided on the side wall of the second housing 12. The air inlet 121 connects to the gap, allowing airflow to enter from the side of the housing 1.

[0049] This application also provides an embodiment of an aerosol generation system 1000, which includes an electronic atomizing device 200 and the aforementioned flavoring component 100. The electronic atomizing device 200 is detachably plugged into the flavoring component 100. The structure and function of the flavoring component 100 can be referred to in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

The air outlet channel connects the atomizing component and the mouthpiece of the electronic atomizing device 200 (not shown). Thus, after the electronic atomizing device 200 and the flavoring component 100 are connected, when the user inhales through the mouthpiece on the electronic atomizing device 100, external air enters the flavoring component 100 and carries the aroma of the flavoring component 3 in the flavoring component 100 into the air intake channel of the electronic atomizing device 200. The air then flows further into the atomizing component through the air intake channel, and then carries the aerosol generated by the atomization of the atomizing component along the air outlet channel to the mouthpiece. The user can then inhale the aerosol containing the aroma of the flavoring component 3 by inhaling through the mouthpiece.
