The cover and the liquid storage body are movable relative to each other. The relative movement of the cover and the liquid storage body reduces the volume of the liquid storage cavity, so that the atomized matrix in the liquid storage cavity is pushed out of the liquid storage component through the liquid outlet.

[0008] In one embodiment, the cover has an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall spaced apart, the open end of the liquid storage body is sandwiched between the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall, and the liquid storage body is at least sealed to the inner sidewall.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cover and the liquid storage body have a first connection state and a second connection state, wherein the volume of the liquid storage cavity in the first connection state is a first volume, and the volume of the liquid storage cavity in the second connection state is a second volume, and the first volume is greater than the second volume.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second limiting portion includes the bottom of the groove, which abuts against the end face of the liquid storage body having the opening, thereby limiting the connection state between the cover and the liquid storage body to the second connection state.

[0014] In one embodiment, a strip-shaped guide groove is provided on the outer side of the liquid storage body, and a raised rib is provided on the cover body. The raised rib cooperates in the guide groove for movement guidance.

[0017] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes a power supply unit having a receiving end that receives the housing to electrically connect the atomizing component to the power supply unit.

[0018] The liquid storage component and atomizing device according to the above embodiments include a liquid storage body and a cover mounted on the liquid storage body. The cover and the liquid storage body enclose a liquid storage cavity for storing the atomizing matrix. The cover and the liquid storage body are movable relative to each other. In use, the cover and the liquid storage body are moved relative to each other to reduce the volume of the liquid storage cavity. This reduction compresses the atomizing matrix within the liquid storage cavity, causing it to be pushed out from the liquid outlet to wet the liquid storage component.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0028] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0029] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0030] Some atomizing devices allow the reservoir to be installed only after use, which facilitates storage and transportation. However, when the reservoir is first installed in the atomizing device, the atomizing matrix is ​​not yet fully impregnated within the reservoir element. A considerable amount of time is required for the reservoir element to become fully saturated before the atomizing device can be used normally, thus impacting the user experience.

[0031] This application features a liquid storage device with a cover that can move relative to the liquid storage body. During use, the cover and the liquid storage body move relative to each other to reduce the volume of the liquid storage chamber. This reduction compresses the atomizing matrix within the liquid storage chamber, causing it to be pushed out of the outlet to wet the liquid storage element. The relative movement speed of the cover and the liquid storage body is controllable. The faster the relative movement speed, the shorter the time required to wet the liquid storage element. This allows for rapid wetting of the liquid storage element when it is first installed in the atomizing device, which helps to shorten the user's waiting time and improve the user experience.

[0032] The following describes some embodiments of the liquid storage component and atomizing device provided in this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a liquid storage component for an atomizing device, including a cover 2, a liquid storage body 1, and other functional components as needed, which are described in detail below.

[0034] In this embodiment, the liquid storage body 1 has a liquid outlet 104 at one end and an opening 103 at the other end. The cover 2 is assembled on the liquid storage body 1 and covers the opening 103. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 enclose a liquid storage cavity 3 for storing the atomized matrix. The liquid storage cavity 3 is in liquid communication with the liquid outlet 104. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are movable relative to each other. The relative movement of the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 reduces the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3, so that the atomized matrix in the liquid storage cavity 3 can be pushed out of the liquid storage component through the liquid outlet 104.

[0035] It is understood that the liquid storage body 1 in this embodiment can be of any shape with a cavity. In some embodiments, it can be bottle-shaped, that is, the liquid storage body 1 can have a bottle body and a bottleneck at one end of the bottle body, and the bottle opening at the bottleneck is the liquid outlet 104. In one embodiment, the liquid outlet 104 and the opening 103 can be located at opposite ends of the same axis, for example, at the upper end and the lower end respectively. Or, in another embodiment, they are located at opposite ends of different axes, for example, the liquid outlet 104 is located at the upper right end, and the opening 103 is located at the lower middle part. In this embodiment, the shape of the opening 103 can match the cross-sectional shape of the liquid storage body 1. In this embodiment, the cover 2 is assembled on the liquid storage body 1, that is, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are separate structures, and the two are connected together to form a liquid storage cavity 3. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be moved relative to each other, so that the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3 can change. In some embodiments, the relative movement direction between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be consistent with the axial direction of the liquid outlet 104, or the relative movement direction between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be set at a certain angle to the axial direction of the liquid outlet 104 as needed. The liquid storage chamber 3 is in liquid communication with the liquid outlet 104, that is, liquid can flow from the liquid storage chamber 3 to the liquid outlet 104, or from the liquid outlet 104 to the liquid storage chamber 3. In this embodiment, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be made of a relatively hard material to facilitate the relative movement between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, such as plastic or metal. The atomizing matrix stored in the liquid storage chamber 3 can be a medicinal liquid, e-liquid, or other atomizable liquid matrix.

[0036] In this embodiment, the liquid storage component for the atomizing device includes a liquid storage body 1 and a cover 2 mounted on the liquid storage body 1. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 enclose a liquid storage cavity 3 for storing the atomizing matrix. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are movable relative to each other. During use, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are moved relative to each other to reduce the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3. As the volume decreases, the atomizing matrix inside the liquid storage cavity 3 is squeezed out from the liquid outlet 104 to wet the liquid storage element 10. The relative movement speed of the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 is controllable. The faster the relative movement speed, the shorter the time for wetting the liquid storage element 10. This allows for rapid wetting of the liquid storage element 10 when the liquid storage component is first installed in the atomizing device, which helps to shorten the user's waiting time and improve the user experience.

[0037] In one embodiment, the cover 2 has an inner wall 205 and an outer wall 204 spaced apart. The open end of the liquid storage body 1 is sandwiched between the inner wall 205 and the outer wall 204, and the liquid storage body 1 is at least sealed to the inner wall 205. It is understood that in this embodiment, there is a gap between the inner wall 205 and the outer wall 204 for the open end of the liquid storage body 1 to be inserted. The open end of the liquid storage body 1 is sandwiched between the inner wall 205 and the outer wall 204. Both the inner wall 205 and the outer wall 204 of the cover can move relative to the open end of the liquid storage body 1, thereby forming a guide for the relative movement of the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, improving the stability of the relative movement of the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. In some embodiments, the open end of the liquid storage body 1 can also be directly provided on the outer surface of the cover 2, or on the inner surface of the cover 2. The open end of the liquid storage body 1 is the end of the liquid storage body 1 with the opening 103.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, during the relative movement between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 have a first connection state and a second connection state. The volume of the liquid storage cavity 3 in the first connection state is a first volume, and the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3 in the second connection state is a second volume, with the first volume being larger than the second volume. The cover 2 is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part. The first limiting part cooperates with the liquid storage body 1 to limit the connection state between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to the first connection state, and the second limiting part cooperates with the liquid storage body 1 to limit the connection state between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to the second connection state. The first volume being larger than the second volume allows the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3 to decrease when the connection state between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 is switched from the first connection state to the second connection state. Therefore, before use, the liquid storage chamber 3 can be filled with atomizing matrix, and the connection state between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be the first connection state. When the liquid storage element 10 is immersed, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be brought closer together to switch the connection state between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 from the first connection state to the second connection state. During this process, the volume of the liquid storage chamber 3 gradually decreases, and the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 3 is squeezed out through the liquid outlet 104. In this embodiment, the first limiting part cooperates with the liquid storage body 1 to limit the connection state between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to the first connection state, which is beneficial to maintaining the first connection state, preventing accidental pushing, avoiding leakage caused by accidental pushing, and improving the stability of the liquid storage component structure, which is beneficial to the storage and transportation of the liquid storage component. It can be understood that the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be moved relative to each other, so the limiting part of the first limiting part for the first connection state is not constant. The limiting part of the first limiting part for the first connection state can be released in a certain way so that the first connection state can be switched to the second connection state. Its second limiting part, in conjunction with the liquid storage body 1, can limit the connection between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to a second connection state, which is beneficial for maintaining the second connection state. This allows the atomizing matrix to maintain a stable flow rate during the continuous replenishment of the atomizing matrix into the atomizing assembly after immersion, thus improving the stability of the atomizing device. In some embodiments, the first and second connection states can also be limited by other structures or components outside the liquid storage body, such as structures on the housing 9 or inner support of the atomizing device.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the cover 2 has an extension 207 that matches the shape of the opening 103. The extension 207 is sealed to the inner and / or outer surfaces of the liquid storage body 1. The extension 207 has a snap-fit ​​hole 201, which is a first limiting part. The liquid storage body 1 has a snap-fit ​​protrusion 102, which engages in the snap-fit ​​hole 201 to limit the connection between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to a first connection state. In this embodiment, the extension 207 can be cylindrical, elliptical, or other cylindrical shapes, and the shape of the extension 207 can match the shape of the opening 103 of the liquid storage body 1. In one embodiment, the extension 207 can surround the outer periphery of the end of the liquid storage body 1, and a sealing ring is provided between the extension 207 and the outer side of the liquid storage body 1. In this case, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 is provided on the outer side of the liquid storage body 1. Alternatively, the extension 207 can also be inserted into the liquid storage body 1 through the opening 103 and seal with the inner side of the liquid storage body 1. A sealing silicone is provided between the extension 207 and the inner side of the liquid storage body 1. In this case, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 is provided on the inner side of the liquid storage body 1. Providing the extension 207 can increase the length of the cover 2, thereby increasing the distance that the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can move relative to each other. More atomized matrix can be pushed out of the liquid storage component, thereby increasing the applicable range of the liquid storage component. During use, the corresponding distance can be pushed according to different wetting amounts. When releasing the limiting of the snap-fit ​​hole 201 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 on the first connection state, a certain amount of pushing force can be applied to the cover 2 to make the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 disengage from the snap-fit ​​hole 201. To facilitate the disengagement of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 from the snap-fit ​​hole 201, a guide slope can be provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 away from the liquid inlet hole, or the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 can be directly configured as an arc-shaped protrusion. In some embodiments, to prevent the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 from being squeezed by the cover body 2 after it disengages from the snap-fit ​​hole 201, a clearance hole 206 can be provided on the cover body 2. The clearance hole 206 is located on the side of the snap-fit ​​hole 201 away from the liquid outlet hole, and the clearance hole 206 has a certain length, allowing the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 to slide in the clearance hole 206 during the mutual movement of the cover body 2 and the liquid storage body 1, so as to avoid the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 restricting the movement. In some embodiments, the first limiting part can also be a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and a corresponding snap-fit ​​hole structure can be provided on the liquid storage body 1.

[0040] In one embodiment, the extension 207 includes an outer sidewall 204 and an inner sidewall 205, with a groove 203 defined between the outer sidewall 204 and the inner sidewall 205. One end of the liquid storage body 1 with an opening 103 is slidably inserted into the groove 203. A sealing element 4 is provided between the inner sidewall 205 and the liquid storage body 1. A snap-fit ​​hole 201 is provided on the outer sidewall 204, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 is provided on the outer side surface of the liquid storage body 1. The insertion of the liquid storage body 1 into the groove 203 restricts the relative sliding direction between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, which helps improve the stability of the relative movement between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. Simultaneously, the inner sidewall 205 is mainly used for sealing to improve the sealing performance between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. The outer sidewall 204 is mainly used for connection to facilitate the assembly between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 or the housing 9 of the atomizing device. Separating the sealing structure from the connecting structure improves the sealing performance between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. For example, when the liquid storage body 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 102, releasing the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 from the snap-fit ​​hole 201 requires the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 to move out of the snap-fit ​​hole 201. At this time, only the gap between the outer side wall 204 and the liquid storage body 1 will change, while the fitting gap between the inner side wall 205 and the liquid storage body 1 can remain unchanged or even be reduced, thereby improving the sealing performance. In this embodiment, the inner side wall 205 can be annular, and the outer side wall 204 can be annular or non-annular. For example, the outer side wall 204 can be provided only at the part that needs to be connected.

[0041] In one embodiment, the second limiting portion includes the bottom of a groove 203, which abuts against the end face of the liquid storage body 1 having an opening 103, thereby limiting the connection between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to a second connection state. In use, pressing the cover 2 causes the locking protrusion 102 to disengage from the locking hole 201 to release the first connection state. Continuing to press the cover 2 brings the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 closer together. Figure 6 As shown, the connection between the liquid storage body 1 and the liquid storage body 1 is switched from the first connection state to the second connection state until the end face of the liquid storage body 1 near the opening 103 abuts against the bottom of the groove 203. In some embodiments, the second limiting part can also be a snap-fit ​​hole 201, and another snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 can also be provided on the corresponding liquid storage body 1, so that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole 201, which can also limit the connection between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 to the second connection state.

[0042] In one embodiment, the cover 2 can also be a solid block structure. The block cover 2 fits into the opening 103 of the liquid storage body 1 to seal the opening 103. A sealing silicone sealant can be provided between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. When the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3 is reduced, the cover 2 can be pushed into the liquid storage cavity 3 to move within the liquid storage body 1, and push the atomizing matrix to push the atomizing matrix out of the liquid outlet 104. In some application scenarios, the block cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can also be positioned relative to each other before and after mutual movement by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a strip-shaped guide groove 101 is provided on the outer surface of the liquid storage body 1, and a raised rib is provided on the cover 2. The raised rib cooperates in the guide groove 101 for movement guidance. The extension direction of the guide groove 101 and the raised rib is consistent with the direction of mutual movement between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. The raised rib, cooperating in the guide groove 101, can restrict the mutual sliding between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, reduce the mutual shaking between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, and help improve the sealing performance between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1. When the cover 2 has an outer side wall 204 and an inner side wall 205, the raised rib can be provided on the inner side of the outer side wall 204. In some embodiments, the guide groove 101 can also be provided on the cover 2, and the corresponding raised rib can be provided on the liquid storage body 1. In order to increase the guiding effect, guide grooves 101 can also be provided on multiple sides of the liquid storage body 1, and at least two guide grooves 101 can be provided on each side. Furthermore, to facilitate the smooth insertion of the protruding rib into the guide groove 101 during assembly, a guide slope can be provided at the end of the protruding rib near the liquid outlet 104. In some embodiments, guidance can also be provided by other guide structures outside the liquid storage component, such as guide structures provided on the housing 9 or inner support of the atomizing device. Alternatively, when there is a good fit between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1, a guide structure may not be provided to guide the mutual movement between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, a first component 5 and a second component 6 are installed on the liquid storage body 1. The first component 5 is fixed in the liquid outlet 104 and has a shaft hole. The second component 6 is slidably disposed in the shaft hole. An elastic reset member 8 is provided between the first component 5 and the second component 6. When an external force is applied to the second component 6, the elastic reset member 8 is compressed and the second component 6 slides in the shaft hole toward the liquid storage cavity 3 to open the liquid outlet 104. When the external force applied to the second component 6 is removed, the elastic reset member 8 drives the second component 6 to automatically reset to close the liquid outlet 104. In some embodiments, a pusher can be provided at the injection port 11 of the atomizing component. When it is necessary to inject the atomizing matrix into the atomizing component to wet the liquid storage element 10, the liquid storage element can be assembled on the atomizing device. At the same time as assembly, the pusher can be used to push the second component 6. The elastic reset component 8 is compressed and the second component 6 slides in the shaft hole toward the direction closer to the liquid storage cavity 3 to open the liquid outlet 104. The liquid outlet 104 is connected to the injection port 11 of the atomizing component. Then, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are moved relative to each other. For example, the cover 2 is pushed to move the cover 2 toward the direction closer to the liquid outlet 104. The atomizing matrix in the liquid storage cavity 3 is pushed into the liquid storage element 10 through the liquid outlet 104 and the injection port 11, thereby achieving rapid wetting of the liquid storage element 10. Finally, when it is not necessary to replenish the atomizing matrix into the atomizing assembly using the liquid storage component, the liquid storage component can be removed from the atomizing device. After removal, the second component 6 is no longer subject to external force, and the elastic reset component 8 restores its deformation, driving the second component 6 to automatically reset and close the liquid outlet 104. In this embodiment, the elastic reset component 8 can be, but is not limited to, a spring, and for example, it can also be rubber. This embodiment does not limit the specific assembly structure of the elastic reset component 8; any method that enables the elastic reset component 8 to reset the second component 6 can be used. For example, a limiting flange can be provided at the end of the second component 6 away from the opening 103 of the liquid storage body 1, and a step can be provided at the end of the shaft hole of the first component 5 near the opening 103 of the liquid storage body 1. The elastic reset component 8 rests between the limiting flange and the step.

[0045] In one embodiment, a sealing element 7 is connected to the end of the second component 6 near the liquid storage chamber 3. The sealing element 7 has an annular sealing groove 701. The end of the first component 5 near the cover 2 corresponds to the sealing groove 701. This allows the end of the first component 5 to be inserted into the sealing groove 701 to close the liquid outlet 104 when no external force is applied to the second component 6, and to move the end of the first component 5 out of the sealing groove 701 to open the liquid outlet 104 when an external force is applied to the second component 6. In this embodiment, the sealing element 7 may be, but is not limited to, made of silicone. The first component 5 and the second component 6 may be made of plastic or metal. The sealing element 7 may be connected to the second component 6 by means of snap-fit, interference fit, or other methods. Because the first component 5 is fixed inside the liquid outlet 104, it will not move with the second component 6. When no external force is applied to the second component 6, the end of the first component 5 is inserted into the sealing groove 701 to close the liquid outlet 104. When an external force is applied to the second component 6, the second component 6 is pushed while the first component 5 remains stationary. This allows the end of the first component 5 to move out of the sealing groove 701 and open the liquid outlet 104. The insertion of the end of the first component 5 into the sealing groove 701 allows the sealing element 7 to cover the end of the second component 6, which helps to improve the sealing effect.

[0046] In one embodiment, to further improve the sealing effect, a sealing shaft section with a smaller diameter can be provided at the end of the first component 5 near the opening 103 of the liquid storage body 1. The diameter of the sealing shaft section can match the diameter of the sealing groove 701 so that the end of the sealing shaft section can be inserted into the sealing groove 701 to form a seal. The second component 6 has a bottom-closed cylindrical structure. The outer diameter of the second component 6 matches the diameter of the inner hole of the first sealing shaft section. The second component 6 is fitted into the inner hole of the sealing shaft section, and a notch is provided on the second component 6, which communicates with the inner hole of the second component 6. When no external force is applied to the second component 6, the notch corresponds to the sealing shaft section, so that the sealing shaft section covers the notch to form a certain seal. When an external force is applied to the second component 6, the second component 6 moves, and the notch moves out from the end of the sealing shaft section simultaneously. The exposed notch allows the liquid storage chamber 3 to communicate with the outside. In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the pusher to push the second component 6, a columnar force-applying part may be provided in the inner hole of the second component 6. When an external force is applied to the second component 6, the pusher can abut against the force-applying part to push the second component 6 to move.

[0047] The liquid storage component for an atomizing device provided in the above embodiment includes a liquid storage body 1 and a cover 2 assembled on the liquid storage body 1. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 enclose a liquid storage cavity 3 for storing the atomizing matrix. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are movable relative to each other. In use, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are moved relative to each other to reduce the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3. As the volume decreases, the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage cavity 3 is squeezed out from the liquid outlet 104 to wet the liquid storage element 10. The relative movement speed of the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 is controllable. The faster the relative movement speed, the shorter the time for wetting the liquid storage element 10. This allows for rapid wetting of the liquid storage element 10 when the liquid storage component is first installed in the atomizing device, which helps to shorten the user's waiting time and improve the user experience.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 This application embodiment also provides an atomizing device, including: an atomizing component, and a liquid storage component for the atomizing device as described above. The atomizing component includes a liquid storage element 10 and an injection hole 11. The injection hole 11 is used to communicate with the liquid outlet hole 104 so that the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage chamber 3 can enter the liquid storage element 10 through the liquid outlet hole 104 and the injection hole 11.

[0049] It is understood that the liquid storage component in this embodiment is the same as that in the above embodiments, and will not be described again here. The liquid storage element 10 in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a liquid storage cotton. The atomizing assembly may also include an atomizing core, which can heat the atomizing matrix to generate an aerosol. The liquid storage element 10 covers the outer periphery of the atomizing core. The atomizing core is provided with a through hole, through which the atomizing matrix inside the liquid storage element 10 can enter the atomizing core and be heated.

[0050] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes a power supply unit. The atomizing component and the liquid storage container are located within the same housing 9. The power supply unit has a receiving end that receives the housing to electrically connect the atomizing component and the power supply unit. The power supply unit can provide power to the atomizing component and may include, but is not limited to, a battery or a circuit board. The receiving end receiving the housing 9, i.e., the receiving end of the power supply unit, is connected and fixed to the housing 9. After connection, the power supply unit and the atomizing component are electrically connected. In some embodiments, the power supply unit can be directly disposed within the housing 9 along with the atomizing component and the liquid storage container. In some embodiments, the power supply unit can also be connected to the housing 9 via a connection during use.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, one end of the housing 9 has an opening, and the inner wall of the housing 9 has a limiting protrusion 901. The outer side of the cover 2 has a slot 202 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 901. The liquid storage component is inserted into the housing 9 through the opening, and the cover 2 is used to cover the opening and is fixed to the housing 9 by the snap-fit ​​between the limiting protrusion 901 and the slot 202 to restrict the movement of the cover 2 after assembly. The cover 2 not only covers and seals the opening 103 of the liquid storage body 1, but also covers the opening at the bottom of the housing 9, eliminating the need for an additional bottom cover on the housing 9, which simplifies the assembly of the atomizing device. In some embodiments, the liquid storage component may not be installed inside the housing 9 before use, and may only be assembled onto the atomizing device when needed; or the liquid storage component may be directly installed inside the housing 9, and may be in an inactive state before use, for example, by fixing the liquid storage component through a locking structure provided on the housing 9. In the inactive state, the liquid outlet 104 of the liquid storage component is not connected to the liquid injection hole 11. When in use, the liquid storage component is pushed into the housing 9, so that the limiting protrusion 901 on the housing 9 is engaged in the locking groove 202 of the cover 2 to fix the liquid storage component. After being pushed in, the liquid storage component is in an active state, and the liquid outlet 104 is connected to the liquid injection hole 11. At the same time as pushing the liquid storage component, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 move relative to each other to reduce the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3 and push the atomizing matrix into the liquid storage element 10 through the liquid outlet 104 and the liquid injection hole 11 to wet the liquid storage element 10. Until the soaking is complete, the cover 2 is placed on the opening and fixed to the housing 9 by the snap-fit ​​between the limiting protrusion 901 and the slot 202. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 no longer shift relative to each other. At this time, the liquid storage component can inject the atomizing matrix into the atomizing component at a stable flow rate. That is, after the soaking is completed, the connection between the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 can be limited not only by the second limiting part, but also by the connection between the cover 2 and the housing 9, thereby further improving the stability of the structure.

[0052] The atomizing device provided in the above embodiment includes a liquid storage body 1 and a cover 2 assembled on the liquid storage body 1. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 enclose a liquid storage cavity 3 for storing the atomizing matrix. The cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are movable relative to each other. In use, the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 are moved relative to each other to reduce the volume of the liquid storage cavity 3. As the volume decreases, the atomizing matrix in the liquid storage cavity 3 is squeezed out from the liquid outlet 104 to wet the liquid storage element 10. The relative movement speed of the cover 2 and the liquid storage body 1 is controllable. The faster the relative movement speed, the shorter the time for wetting the liquid storage element 10. This allows for rapid wetting of the liquid storage element 10 when it is first installed in the atomizing device, which helps to shorten the user's waiting time and improve the user experience.
