Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and in particular to a liquid storage component, an atomizing assembly, and an electronic atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic atomizing device is an electronic product that generates an aerosol by atomizing a liquid matrix for users to inhale. It generally consists of two parts: an atomizer and a power supply component. The atomizer contains a liquid storage chamber for storing the liquid matrix and an atomizing core for atomizing the liquid matrix. The power supply component includes a power supply and a circuit board.

[0003] Existing electronic atomizing devices typically ship the liquid reservoir and the atomizer core separately. This approach has several drawbacks. Firstly, separate shipping increases packaging and transportation costs. Secondly, each component needs to be individually sealed, requiring the user to unseal and reassemble it before use. This reduces the product's ease of use and increases the likelihood of leakage during assembly; for example, failure to reassemble promptly after unsealing can lead to leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide a liquid storage component, an atomizing assembly, and an electronic atomizing device to reduce packaging and transportation costs, increase product ease of operation, and reduce the risk of product leakage.

[0005] This application provides an atomizing component, including a liquid storage component and an atomizing component;

[0006] The liquid storage component includes:

[0007] A first housing, wherein a first liquid storage chamber for storing a liquid matrix is ​​formed within the first housing;

[0008] A connector having a liquid outlet, the connector being in fluid communication with the first liquid storage chamber and extending in a direction away from the first liquid storage chamber;

[0009] The atomizing component includes:

[0010] The second housing has a second liquid storage chamber formed inside it for storing a liquid matrix, and the second housing is also provided with an insertion interface;

[0011] An atomizing core, disposed in the second housing and in fluid communication with the second liquid storage chamber, is used to atomize a liquid matrix to generate an aerosol; and

[0012] A seal is at least partially positioned at the insertion interface;

[0013] The atomizing component can be movably connected to the liquid storage component, and the connection state includes a pre-installed state. In the pre-installed state, the connector is inserted into the insertion interface, and the sealing component can seal the liquid output port of the connector to prevent the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber from flowing out of the liquid output port.

[0014] In one example, the atomizing component is movable relative to the liquid storage component and can switch from the pre-installed state to the usage state;

[0015] In the usage state, the connector passes through or pushes open a portion of the seal and is then inserted into the second liquid storage chamber, establishing a connection channel between the first liquid storage chamber and the second liquid storage chamber, so that the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber flows into the second liquid storage chamber through the connection channel.

[0016] In one example, the seal includes a sealing cavity embedded in the connector, one end of the sealing cavity being open and the other end being closed and puncturable;

[0017] When the atomizing component is in the pre-installed state, the end of the connector with the liquid outlet is received in the sealing cavity through the opening, and the sealing cavity seals the liquid outlet.

[0018] When the atomizing component is in the use state, one end of the connector with a liquid outlet pierces the other end of the sealing cavity and is inserted into the second liquid storage cavity.

[0019] In one example, the other end of the sealing cavity has a slot or a cross slot.

[0020] In one example, the first housing includes an outer shell, a bracket connected to the outer shell, and the connector formed on the bracket;

[0021] The outer casing has a first holding position and a second holding position that are spaced apart along the direction of movement of the atomizing component, and the atomizing component is provided with a first positioning part;

[0022] The first positioning part can be interference connected with the first holding position to maintain the atomizing component in the pre-installed state;

[0023] The first positioning part is interfering with the second holding part, thereby maintaining the atomizing component in the use state.

[0024] In one example, the housing further has a third holding position spaced apart from the second holding position along the direction of movement of the atomizing component, and the bracket is provided with a second positioning part that cooperates with the third holding position.

[0025] In one example, the first housing includes an outer shell and a bracket movably connected to the outer shell, the outer shell and the bracket together forming the first liquid storage cavity, and the connector is formed on the bracket;

[0026] During the process of switching the atomizing component from the pre-installed state to the usage state, the atomizing component can move relative to the outer shell and push the bracket toward the first liquid storage chamber, thereby compressing the space of the first liquid storage chamber.

[0027] In one example, the housing has a first holding position, a second holding position, and a third holding position spaced apart along the movement direction of the atomizing component; the atomizing component is provided with a first positioning part; and the bracket is provided with a second positioning part.

[0028] When the atomizing component is in the pre-installed state, the first positioning part is in the first holding position and the second positioning part is in the second holding position.

[0029] When the atomizing component switches from the pre-installed state to the usage state, the first positioning part can move from the first holding position to the second holding position, and the second positioning part moves from the second holding position to the third holding position.

[0030] In one example, the distance between the second hold bit and the third hold bit is less than the distance between the first hold bit and the second hold bit.

[0031] In one example, a transmission tube is provided inside the first housing, the bracket has a through hole sleeved on the transmission tube, and the second housing is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow channel extending from the air inlet to the air outlet.

[0032] When the atomizing component is in the pre-installed state, the air outlet is in fluid communication with the through hole and is spaced apart from the transmission tube;

[0033] When the atomizing component is in the operating state, the air outlet is connected to the transmission pipe.

[0034] In one example, the distance between the atomizing component and the liquid storage component is between 4 mm and 8 mm.

[0035] In one example, the atomizing component further includes a connecting tube disposed within the second housing, the connecting tube having a liquid passage hole on its side wall, and the atomizing core disposed within the connecting tube and in fluid communication with the second liquid storage chamber through the liquid passage hole;

[0036] The distance between the connector and the connecting pipe is between 0.5mm and 3mm.

[0037] In one example, the end of the connector with the liquid outlet is provided with an inclined portion, the inclined surface of which is oriented toward the atomizing core.

[0038] In one example, a ventilation groove is provided at the position of the inclined portion near the top of the second liquid storage chamber, and the ventilation groove is connected to the connecting channel.

[0039] In one example, the second reservoir is provided with a reservoir medium for holding a liquid matrix, and the end of the connector having a liquid outlet is inserted into the reservoir medium.

[0040] Another aspect of this application provides an atomizing assembly, including a liquid storage component and an atomizing component;

[0041] The liquid storage component includes:

[0042] The first housing includes an outer shell and a support; the outer shell and the support together form a first liquid storage cavity for storing a liquid matrix; the outer shell has a first holding position, a second holding position and a third holding position spaced apart along the longitudinal direction; and the support is provided with a second positioning part.

[0043] The atomizing component includes:

[0044] The second housing has a second liquid storage chamber for storing a liquid matrix, and the second housing is also provided with a first positioning part and an insertion interface that is in fluid communication with the second liquid storage chamber.

[0045] An atomizing core is disposed in the second housing and in fluid communication with the second liquid storage chamber. The atomizing core is used to atomize a liquid matrix to generate an aerosol.

[0046] The atomizing component can be movably connected to the liquid storage component, and the connection state between the two includes a pre-installed state and a used state. In the pre-installed state, the first positioning part is in the first holding position, and the second positioning part is in the second holding position.

[0047] When the atomizing component switches from the pre-installed state to the usage state, the first positioning part can move from the first holding position to the second holding position, and the second positioning part moves from the second holding position to the third holding position, thereby pushing the bracket to reduce the volume of the first liquid storage cavity.

[0048] This application also provides an electronic atomizing device, including a power supply component and the atomizing component.

[0049] This application also provides a liquid storage component for an electronic atomizing device, comprising:

[0050] The housing has a first holding position, a second holding position, and a third holding position spaced apart along a longitudinal direction; the distance between the second holding position and the third holding position is less than the distance between the first holding position and the second holding position.

[0051] The bracket, together with the outer shell, forms a first liquid storage cavity for storing a liquid matrix. The bracket is provided with a second positioning part, which is interference-connected with a second holding part.

[0052] The bracket can be driven by an external drive to move toward the first liquid storage chamber, thereby compressing the space of the first liquid storage chamber; the first holding position provides the initial position of the external drive, and when the bracket moves toward the first liquid storage chamber, the second positioning part can disengage from the second holding position and enter the third holding position.

[0053] The above-mentioned liquid storage components, atomizing components, and electronic atomizing devices enable pre-installation of liquid storage components and atomizing components, reducing packaging and transportation costs, increasing product operability, and reducing the risk of product leakage.

[0067] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0068] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0069] One embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomizing device, which can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes an atomizing component 10 that stores a liquid matrix and atomizes it to generate an aerosol, and a power supply component 20 that supplies power to the atomizing component 10. The atomizing component 10 and the power supply component 20 are detachably connected.

[0070] exist Figure 1In the example shown, the power supply assembly 20 includes a receiving cavity 21 disposed at one end along its length for receiving and accommodating at least a portion of the atomizing assembly 10, and an electrical contact 22 at least partially exposed within the receiving cavity 21, for forming an electrical connection with the atomizing assembly 10 and thus supplying power to the atomizing assembly 10 when at least a portion of the atomizing assembly 10 is received or accommodated within the power supply assembly 20. An electrical contact 11 is disposed on the end of the atomizing assembly 10 opposite to the power supply assembly 20 along its length, so that when at least a portion of the atomizing assembly 10 is received within the receiving cavity 21, the electrical contact 11 forms an electrical connection by contacting and abutting against the electrical contact 22.

[0071] exist Figure 1 In the example shown, a seal 23 is provided inside the power supply assembly 20, and the seal 23 divides at least a portion of the internal space of the power supply assembly 20 to form the receiving cavity 21. The seal 23 is configured to extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the power supply assembly 20, and is preferably made of a flexible material such as silicone, thereby preventing the liquid matrix that seeps from the atomizing assembly 10 into the receiving cavity 21 from flowing into components such as the control unit 24 and the sensor 25 inside the power supply assembly 20.

[0072] exist Figure 1 In the example shown, the power supply assembly 20 also includes a battery cell 26 for power supply located at the other end of its length away from the receiving cavity 21; and a control unit 24 disposed between the battery cell 26 and the receiving cavity 21, the control unit 24 being operable to guide current between the battery cell 26 and the electrical contact 22. In use, the power supply assembly 20 includes a sensor 25 for sensing the suction airflow generated when the atomizing assembly 10 is inhaled, thereby enabling the control unit 24 to control the battery cell 26 to supply power to the atomizing assembly 10 based on the detection signal from the sensor 25.

[0073] exist Figure 1 In the example shown, the power supply assembly 20 has a charging interface 27 at the other end away from the receiving cavity 21 for charging the battery cell 26.

[0074] Understandably, in other examples, it is also feasible to use a disposable cell for cell 26.

[0075] It is understandable that in other examples, it is also feasible for the atomizing component 10 and the power supply component 20 to be non-detachably connected, i.e., formed as a single unit.

[0076] like Figures 2-10 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an atomizing component 10 including a liquid storage component 120 and an atomizing component 140.

[0077] The liquid storage component 120 includes a first housing 130, which may be composed of multiple components, such as an outer shell 121 and a support 122. In the example shown in the figure, the outer shell 121 is generally tubular in shape.

[0078] A first liquid storage cavity 123 for storing a liquid matrix is ​​formed within the first housing 130. In a specific implementation, the first liquid storage cavity 123 can be formed by the outer shell 121 and the support 122, that is, the outer shell 121 and the support 122 define the boundary of the first liquid storage cavity 123. In a further implementation, a sealing element 124 is also provided inside the outer shell 121, at least a portion of the sealing element 124 is sandwiched between the outer shell 121 and the support 122, thereby sealing the first liquid storage cavity 123 and reducing the risk of leakage of the liquid matrix from the gap between the outer shell 121 and the support 122.

[0079] Generally, the volume of the liquid matrix stored in the first reservoir 123 is between 0.1 ml and 10 ml, for example, 0.1 ml, 0.2 ml, 0.4 ml, 0.5 ml, 0.8 ml, 1 ml, 1.5 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml, 4 ml, 5 ml, 6 ml, 8 ml, 10 ml, etc. The liquid matrix can be a liquid containing tobacco substances including volatile tobacco aroma components, or a liquid containing non-tobacco substances. For example, the liquid matrix may include water, solvents, ethanol, plant extracts, flavorings, fragrances, or vitamin mixtures. Flavorings may include menthol, peppermint, spearmint oil, various fruit flavoring components, etc., but are not limited to these. Fragrances may include ingredients capable of providing the user with a variety of aromas or flavors. Vitamin mixtures may be substances containing at least one of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin E, but are not limited to these. Additionally, the liquid matrix may include aerosol forming agents such as glycerin and propylene glycol.

[0080] In one example, the top of the first housing 130 is provided with a mouthpiece 125, which is used for the user to inhale the aerosol generated by atomization. The mouthpiece 125 can be integrally formed with the first housing 130, for example, formed from a portion of the outer shell 121; or the mouthpiece 125 and the first housing 130 can be formed separately.

[0081] In one example, a transfer tube 126 is also provided inside the first housing 130. The transfer tube 126 can be integrally formed with the first housing 130, for example, it can be disposed inside the outer shell 121 and molded together with the outer shell 121; the transfer tube 126 and the first housing 130 can also be formed separately. One end of the transfer tube 126 is in fluid communication with the suction nozzle 125, and the other end of the transfer tube 126 is inserted into the through hole 122a on the support 122, that is, the through hole 122a is fitted on the transfer tube 126 and communicates with the outside of the support 122. In a further embodiment, the aforementioned sealing member 124 can be partially sandwiched between the outer wall of the transfer tube 126 and the inner wall of the through hole 122a, thereby reducing the risk of liquid matrix leakage from the gap between the outer wall of the transfer tube 126 and the inner wall of the through hole 122a.

[0082] In one example, the first housing 130, such as the support 122, is also provided with a connector 122b. The connector 122b has a through hole 122b1 extending through both ends. One end of the connector 122b is in fluid communication with the first liquid storage chamber 123, and the other end of the connector 122b protrudes from the bottom surface of the support 122 or extends away from the first liquid storage chamber 123 or towards the atomizing component 140. It is understood that the through hole 122b1 extends through both ends of the connector 122b, with one end of the connector 122b having a liquid inlet and the other end having a liquid outlet. In a preferred embodiment, the support 122 is provided with two connectors 122b, arranged on both sides of the through hole 122a; it should be noted that the number of connectors 122b is not limited to two.

[0083] In one example, the connector 122b has an inclined portion 122b2 extending from the other end of the connector 122b to the sidewall of the connector 122b, the inclined portion 122b2 being constructed such that the other end of the connector 122b is needle-shaped. In a further embodiment, the inclined portion 122b2 is also provided with a ventilation groove 122b3 communicating with the through hole 122b1 inside the connector 122b.

[0084] In one example, the first housing 130, such as the outer shell 121, further has a first holding position 121a, a second holding position 121b, and a third holding position 121c spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. The first holding position 121a, the second holding position 121b, and the third holding position 121c can be snap-fit ​​grooves or snap-fit ​​holes. Preferably, the second holding position 121b, the third holding position 121c, and the first holding position 121a are all snap-fit ​​holes penetrating the outer shell 121. The first holding position 121a, the second holding position 121b, and the third holding position 121c are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the outer shell 121, with the second holding position 121b located between the first holding position 121a and the third holding position 121c. The first holding position 121a is located close to the atomizing component 140. The distance between the second holding position 121b and the third holding position 121c is less than the distance between the first holding position 121a and the second holding position 121b.

[0085] In one example, the bracket 122 is also provided with a second positioning part 122c, which includes a protrusion.

[0086] The atomizing component 140 includes a second housing 150, which can be composed of multiple components, such as a main housing 141 and a base 142 disposed at the bottom of the main housing 141. The main housing 141 and the base 142 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​method.

[0087] A second liquid storage chamber 143 for storing a liquid matrix is ​​formed within the second housing 150. In a specific embodiment, the second liquid storage chamber 143 can be formed by the main housing 141 and the base 142. In a further embodiment, a sealing element 144 is also provided within the second housing 150, with at least a portion of the sealing element 144 sandwiched between the main housing 141 and the base 142, thereby sealing the second liquid storage chamber 143 and reducing the risk of leakage of the liquid matrix from the gap between the main housing 141 and the base 142.

[0088] Generally, the volume of the liquid matrix stored in the second reservoir 143 is between 0.1 ml and 2 ml, for example, 0.1 ml, 0.2 ml, 0.4 ml, 0.5 ml, 0.8 ml, 1 ml, 1.5 ml, 2 ml, etc. Similarly, the liquid matrix can be a liquid containing tobacco substances including volatile tobacco aroma components, or a liquid containing non-tobacco substances. For example, the liquid matrix may include water, solvents, ethanol, plant extracts, flavorings, fragrances, or vitamin mixtures. Flavorings may include menthol, peppermint, spearmint oil, various fruit flavoring components, etc., but are not limited to these. Fragrances may include ingredients capable of providing the user with a variety of aromas or flavors. Vitamin mixtures may be substances containing at least one of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin E, but are not limited to these. Additionally, the liquid matrix may include aerosol forming agents such as glycerin and propylene glycol.

[0089] It should be noted that the liquid matrix stored in the second reservoir 143 may have different or the same composition or properties as the liquid matrix stored in the first reservoir 123. For example, in some examples, the liquid matrix stored in the second reservoir 143 may have different compositions or concentrations than the liquid matrix stored in the first reservoir 123. In other examples, the liquid matrix stored in the second reservoir 143 may have the exact same composition as the liquid matrix stored in the first reservoir 123. In still other examples, the liquid matrix stored in the second reservoir 143 may be part of a liquid formulation, while the liquid matrix stored in the first reservoir 123 may be another part of the same liquid formulation. In yet another example, the liquid matrix stored in the first reservoir 123 may be introduced into the second reservoir 143 as a supplementary source to the liquid matrix stored in the second reservoir 143, thereby increasing the number of puffs in the electronic atomizing device.

[0090] In a further embodiment, the second liquid storage chamber 143 is further provided with a liquid storage medium 145, which may be made of fibrous or porous material. The second liquid storage chamber 143 may be filled with fiber cotton. The liquid storage medium 145 is used to adsorb and retain the liquid matrix and supply the liquid matrix to the atomizing core 146. After liquid injection, when the liquid storage medium 145 reaches saturation, the content of the liquid matrix in the liquid storage medium 145 is between 0.1 ml and 2 ml, for example, 0.5 ml, 0.8 ml, 1 ml, 1.5 ml, or 2 ml, etc. There is a certain space between the upper end face of the liquid storage medium 145 and the top of the second liquid storage chamber 143, which is occupied by air.

[0091] The second housing 150 also contains an atomizing core 146, which is used to atomize the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol.

[0092] In one example, the atomizing core 146 includes a liquid delivery unit and a heating element.

[0093] The liquid transfer unit can transfer the liquid matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 143 to the heating element. For example, the liquid transfer unit can be a porous material such as cotton fiber, ceramic fiber, glass fiber, or porous ceramic or porous glass, but is not limited thereto. The liquid transfer unit can be constructed into a tubular structure, a plate structure, or other regular or irregular shapes.

[0094] The heating element is used to heat an atomized liquid matrix to generate an aerosol. The heating element can be a metal wire, conductive trace, metal plate, ceramic heater, etc., but is not limited to these. Alternatively, the heating element can be constructed from a conductive heating wire such as nickel-chromium wire. The heating element can be made of a material with suitable temperature coefficient of resistance characteristics, such as stainless steel 316, titanium, nickel, nickel-chromium alloys, etc. The heating element can be configured as a structure wound around a liquid transfer unit. The heating element can be heated by an electric current supply and transfers heat to the liquid matrix in contact with the heating element to heat the liquid matrix, thereby generating an aerosol.

[0095] It should be noted that the atomizing core 146 is not limited to the embodiments described above. In other examples, the heating element may also be a sensor that can be penetrated by a changing magnetic field to generate heat, or an infrared heater that radiates infrared rays. In another example, an ultrasonic atomizer may be used instead.

[0096] In one example, the main housing 141 has a through hole 141a, the base 142 has a through hole 142a, and the second housing 150 also has a connecting pipe 147. One end of the connecting pipe 147 is in fluid communication with the through hole 141a, for example, one end of the connecting pipe 147 is inserted into the through hole 141a to achieve fluid communication with the through hole 141a; the other end of the connecting pipe 147 is in fluid communication with the through hole 142a, for example, the other end of the connecting pipe 147 is inserted into the through hole 144a of the seal 144, and is in fluid communication with the through hole 142a through the through hole 144a. The atomizing core 146 is disposed in the connecting pipe 147 and is in fluid communication with the second liquid storage chamber 143 through the liquid passage hole 147a on the connecting pipe 147.

[0097] In the above example, external air can flow in through through hole 142a, pass through through hole 144a, and then flow into connecting pipe 147. After mixing with the aerosol generated by atomizing core 146, it flows out from through hole 141a. That is, through hole 142a defines the air inlet of atomizing component 140, through hole 141a defines the air outlet of atomizing component 140, and through holes 142a, 144a, connecting pipe 147, and 141a together define the airflow channel of atomizing component 140 (see reference). Figure 5 (As shown in S2).

[0098] In one example, the second housing 150, such as the main housing 141, is provided with a connector 141b. One end of the connector 141b is in fluid communication with the second liquid storage chamber 143, and the other end of the connector 141b is in fluid communication with the outside of the atomizing component 140. The number of connectors 141b is the same as the number of connectors 122b. In the example shown in the figure, there are two connectors 141b, which are arranged on both sides of the through hole 141a.

[0099] In one example, the second housing 150, such as the main housing 141, is also provided with a seal 148. The seal 148 is disposed on the top of the main housing 141. The seal 148 has a through hole 148a corresponding to a through hole 141a, the through hole 141a being embedded within the through hole 148a, the through hole 141a protruding from the upper surface of the seal 148. The seal 148 is at least partially positioned at the insertion interface 141b. Specifically, the seal 148 also has a sealing cavity 148b corresponding to the insertion interface 141b. The sealing cavity 148b is embedded in the insertion interface 141b. The end 148b1 of the sealing cavity 148b away from the second liquid storage cavity 143 has an opening, and the other end 148b2 of the sealing cavity 148b near the second liquid storage cavity 143 is closed. The end 148b1 of the sealing cavity 148b protrudes from the upper surface of the seal 148, and the other end 148b2 of the sealing cavity 148b extends into the insertion interface 141b. The other end 148b2 of the sealing cavity 148b can be punctured. In a preferred embodiment, the end 148b2 of the sealing cavity 148b near the second liquid storage cavity 143 has a cross groove. By opening the cross groove, the thickness of the part where the cross groove is located can be relatively thin, thereby facilitating the connector 122b to puncture the other end 127b2 of the sealing cavity 127b, but preventing the liquid matrix from flowing out from the other end of the connector 122b before puncture. It is understandable that the other end 127b2 of the sealing cavity 127b can also adopt a slot or other similar structural design.

[0100] In one example, the second housing 150, such as the main housing 141, is also provided with a first positioning part 141c, which includes a protrusion.

[0101] In the above example, the second housing 150 is independent of the first housing 130, or the atomizing component 140 is independent of the liquid storage component 120. The atomizing component 140 can be movably connected to the liquid storage component 120, and the connection state between the two includes a pre-installed state and a used state. Generally, the pre-installed state refers to the state in which the liquid storage component 120 and the atomizing component 140 are assembled together when the atomizing assembly 10 is manufactured, packaged, transported, or unused.

[0102] refer to Figure 5 To understand this, the first holding position 121a provides the initial position for an external drive element, such as the atomizing component 140. Specifically, the first positioning portion 141c of the second housing 150 is in the first holding position 121a of the first housing 130, and the second positioning portion 122c of the bracket 122 is in the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130, thereby maintaining the atomizing assembly 10 in the pre-installed state.

[0103] At this time, the second positioning part 122c of the bracket 122 is interferingly connected with the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130, that is, the second positioning part 122c of the bracket 122 is snapped into the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130. Through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the second positioning part 122c and the second holding position 121b, the bracket 122 is kept in the first position. The first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 is interferingly connected with the first holding position 121a of the first housing 130, that is, the first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 is snapped into the first holding position 121a of the first housing 130. Through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the first positioning part 141c and the first holding position 121a, the connection between the liquid storage component 120 and the atomizing component 140 is realized, and the liquid storage component 120 is pre-assembled or mounted onto the atomizing component 140.

[0104] In the pre-installed state, the other end of the connector 122b is inserted into the insertion port 141b, and the sealing member 148 seals the other end of the connector 122b. Specifically, the other end of the connector 122b is inserted into or contained in the sealing cavity 148b through the opening of the sealing cavity 148b. The inner wall of the sealing cavity 148b is in contact with the outer wall of the connector 122b, thereby sealing the other end of the connector 122b with the sealing member 148, that is, sealing the liquid outlet of the connector 122b, and preventing the first liquid storage chamber 123 from communicating with the second liquid storage chamber 143. In this way, the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 123 can be prevented from flowing out from the other end of the connector 122b, and the liquid matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 123 can be prevented from flowing into the second liquid storage chamber 143.

[0105] In the pre-installed state, the first liquid storage chamber 123 of the liquid storage component 120 stores the liquid matrix, while the second liquid storage chamber 143 of the atomizing component 140 may or may not store the liquid matrix. Generally, in the pre-installed state, the second liquid storage chamber 143 of the atomizing component 140 does not store the liquid matrix to facilitate product transportation and reduce the risk of liquid matrix leakage.

[0106] refer to Figure 6 To understand this, the user can press the atomizing component 140 and / or the liquid reservoir 120, causing the atomizing component 140 to move relative to the liquid reservoir 120. For example... Figure 5 As shown, there is a certain distance D between the bottom surface of the bracket 122 and the upper surface of the seal 148. This distance D is the movement distance of the atomizing component 140 relative to the liquid storage component 120. Generally, the distance D is between 4mm and 8mm, or between 4mm and 7mm, or between 4mm and 6mm, or between 5mm and 6mm.

[0107] When the atomizing component 140 moves relative to the liquid storage component 120, the second positioning part 122c of the bracket 122 is still engaged in the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130, while the first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 has disengaged from the first holding position 121a or the first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 has disengaged from the first holding position 121a. At this time, the first positioning part 141c abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 121, ensuring that the liquid storage component 120 and the atomizing component 140 remain connected.

[0108] When the atomizing component 140 moves relative to the liquid storage component 120, the connector 122b passes through or pushes open a portion of the sealing cavity 148b and inserts into the second liquid storage cavity 143. Specifically, the other end of the connector 122b pierces the other end 148b2 of the sealing cavity 148b and inserts into the second liquid storage cavity 143, thereby connecting the first liquid storage cavity 123 and the second liquid storage cavity 143 and establishing a connecting channel between them (as shown in S1 in the figure). In the example shown, the connecting channel is defined by the through hole 122b1. Thus, the liquid matrix stored in the first liquid storage cavity 123 flows into the second liquid storage cavity 143 through the connecting channel S1, and then into the atomizing core 146.

[0109] In some examples, when the other end of connector 122b is inserted into the second liquid storage chamber 143 through the plug interface 141b, the other end of connector 122b or the end with the liquid outlet is inserted into the liquid storage medium 145. In this way, when the liquid matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 123 flows into the second liquid storage chamber 143 through the connecting channel S1, it is first absorbed by the liquid storage medium 145 and then absorbed by the atomizing core 146, thereby avoiding excessive or rapid transfer of liquid matrix to the atomizing core 146.

[0110] In some examples, the outer surface or inclined surface of the inclined portion 122b2 faces the atomizing core 146, making the liquid output port of the connecting channel S1 closer to the atomizing core 146. The liquid matrix will be distributed in the storage medium 145 near the atomizing core 146 during initial injection, which helps to shorten the time for the liquid matrix to be transferred to the atomizing core 146.

[0111] In some examples, such as Figure 10 As shown, the liquid storage medium 145, such as fiber cotton, has pre-made holes or grooves 145a. Through these holes or grooves 145a, the resistance of the connector 122b when inserting into the liquid storage medium 145 can be reduced. During the insertion of the connector 122b into the holes or grooves 145a, the liquid matrix can be continuously input, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the liquid matrix in the longitudinal direction of the liquid storage medium 145.

[0112] In some examples, when the other end of connector 122b is inserted into the second liquid storage chamber 143 through the insertion interface 141b, it is also feasible for the other end of connector 122b to be positioned near the upper end of the liquid storage medium 145 and not inserted into the liquid storage medium 145.

[0113] In some examples, in order for the liquid matrix to be quickly absorbed by the atomizing core 146, the distance between the connector 122b and the connecting tube 147 should not be too far; that is, the distance between the portion of the connector 122b located in the second liquid storage chamber 143 and the connecting tube 147 should be as small as possible (see reference). Figure 6 (as shown in d). Generally, the distance d between the connector 122b and the connecting pipe 147 is between 0.5mm and 3mm, or between 1mm and 3mm, or between 1.5mm and 3mm, or between 1.5mm and 2.5mm.

[0114] In some examples, the ventilation channel 122b3 is located near the top of the second liquid storage chamber 143 or near the upper end face of the liquid storage medium 145. This minimizes the path of the air entering the second liquid storage chamber 143 (the space between the upper end face of the liquid storage medium 145 and the top of the second liquid storage chamber 143) through the ventilation channel 122b3 when air is introduced into the first liquid storage chamber 123 via the connecting channel S1. This ensures smooth ventilation between the first and second liquid storage chambers 123 and also effectively locks in the liquid matrix within the liquid storage medium 145.

[0115] refer to Figure 7 To understand this, the user can further press the atomizing component 140 and / or the liquid storage component 120, causing the atomizing component 140 to move further relative to the outer shell 121 of the liquid storage component 120 and push the support 122 from the first position to the second position, i.e., towards the first liquid storage chamber 123, thereby putting the atomizing assembly 10 into use. At this time, the distance by which the atomizing component 140 pushes the support 122 is the distance between the second holding position 121b and the third holding position 121c. This distance is less than the movement distance D of the atomizing component 140 relative to the liquid storage component 120 or less than the distance between the first holding position 121a and the second holding position 121b, avoiding excessive compression of the space of the first liquid storage chamber 123 and reducing the risk of liquid matrix leakage.

[0116] When the support 122 moves from the first position to the second position, the support 122 can compress the space of the first liquid storage chamber 123, that is, reduce the volume of the first liquid storage chamber 123, so that the liquid matrix stored in the first liquid storage chamber 123 can quickly flow to the second liquid storage chamber 143 through the connecting channel S1, reduce the user's waiting time, ensure that the user can draw the desired taste, and improve the user's experience.

[0117] When the atomizing assembly 10 is in use, the first positioning part 141c can disengage from the first holding position 121a and enter the second holding position 121b, that is, the first positioning part 141c and the second holding position 121b are in an interference connection; and the second positioning part 122c can disengage from the second holding position 121b and enter the third holding position 121c, that is, the second positioning part 122c and the third holding position 121c are in an interference connection.

[0118] Specifically, the second positioning part 122c of the bracket 122 has been disengaged from the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130 and is engaged in the third holding position 121c, while the first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 is engaged in the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130.

[0119] It should be noted that the first holding position 121a, the second holding position 121b and the third holding position 121c are arranged at intervals along the movement direction of the atomizing component 140.

[0120] It should also be noted that in other examples, the first holding position 121a, the second holding position 121b, and the third holding position 121c are all protrusions, while the first positioning part 141c and the second positioning part 122c are all snap-fit ​​grooves or snap-fit ​​holes, which is also feasible.

[0121] It should also be noted that in other examples, the aforementioned holding position and positioning part are not limited to protrusions, snap-fit ​​grooves or snap-fit ​​holes. For example, positioning can also be achieved by recesses or countersunk holes and protruding dots, or by elastic pins and pin holes, or by elastic claws and claw structures, or by magnetic attraction, or by a dual positioning design of slots and magnetic attraction.

[0122] refer to Figures 5-7 To understand, in the pre-installed state, the air outlet defined by the through hole 141a is fluidly connected to the through hole 122a and spaced apart from the transmission tube 126. When the atomizing component 140 moves relative to the liquid storage component 120, the through holes 141a and 122a are connected (e.g., the through holes 141a and 122a abut, are embedded, etc.), while the through hole 141a and the transmission tube 126 remain spaced apart. When the atomizing component 10 is in use, the through hole 141a is connected to the transmission tube 126 (e.g., the through hole 141a abuts, is embedded, etc.). In this way, the airflow channel in the first housing 130 is connected to the airflow channel in the second housing 150, and external air can flow from the mouthpiece 125 into the user's mouth through the connected airflow channel (see S2 in the figure). On the other hand, the connection between the through hole 141a, which defines the air outlet, and the transmission tube 126 ensures that the support 122 can be maintained in the second position.

[0123] It should be noted that when the bracket 122 moves from the first position to the second position, the seal 124 is also able to move relative to the first housing 130 due to the structure of the seal 124.

[0124] It should be noted that, in Figures 2-10 In one example, the movable element formed by the support 122 has a unidirectional movement, that is, it moves from the first position to the second position along the longitudinal direction of the first housing 130. In some examples, it is also possible for the movable element to be configured to move back and forth.

[0125] It should be noted that movable parts are not limited to Figures 2-10 The scenario in the example. In some examples, the moving part can be a piston rod mounted on the bracket 122.

[0126] In some examples, the movable element may be a suction nozzle movably connected to the first housing 130, which encloses or defines a first reservoir 123 for storing a liquid matrix. In operation, the suction nozzle can be pushed and moved relative to the first housing 130, thereby compressing the space inside the first reservoir 123 and facilitating the output of the liquid matrix inside the first reservoir 123 from the connector 122b.

[0127] In other examples, the movable part may be part of the first housing 130, for example, the first housing 130 is formed by splicing together at least two relatively movable parts that enclose a first liquid reservoir 123, in operation one part being able to move relative to the other part, thereby compressing the space within the first liquid reservoir 123.

[0128] In other examples, the movable element may be part of the first housing 130, a portion of which is flexible and deformable, and thus can deform in operation to compress the space within the first reservoir 123.

[0129] Figures 11-12 This is another embodiment of the atomizing component 10 provided in this application, and... Figures 2-10 The examples are different, in Figures 11-12 In the example, the travel distance of the bracket 122 from the first position to the second position is cancelled.

[0130] exist Figures 11-12 In the example, when the atomizing assembly 10 is in the pre-installed state, the second positioning part 122c of the bracket 122 is engaged in the third holding position 121c of the first housing 130; the first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 is engaged in the first holding position 121a of the first housing 130; the connection state of the connector 122b and the insertion interface 141b is the same as... Figures 2-10 Similar to the example.

[0131] When the atomizing assembly 10 is in use, the second positioning part 122c of the bracket 122 is still snapped into the third holding position 121c of the first housing 130; while the first positioning part 141c of the second housing 150 is snapped into the second holding position 121b of the first housing 130.

[0132] compared to Figures 2-10 In the example, Figures 11-12 In the example, when the atomizing component 10 is in the pre-installed state, the second liquid storage chamber 143 of the atomizing component 140 generally stores a liquid matrix.
