Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A nebulizer is a device that atomizes a liquid into an aerosol for users to inhale. Nebulizers can be categorized into disposable and reusable types. Disposable nebulizers cannot be refilled; once the liquid is depleted, the entire nebulizer is discarded, resulting in waste. Reusable nebulizers, on the other hand, allow consumers to refill the liquid, reducing their operating costs.

[0003] However, in related technologies, when replenishing the atomizing fluid, the user needs to manually operate to replenish the reservoir (such as manually inverting the atomizer to rely on the gravity of the replenishing fluid inside the replenishing component, or manually squeezing the replenishing bottle to replenish the fluid), which makes the replenishment process relatively complicated. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the main objective of the embodiments of this application is to provide an atomizer, atomizing component and a replenishing component that can achieve automatic liquid replenishment.

The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion abut against each other, and the first through port is connected to the second through port to guide the liquid replenishment path.

[0017] In one embodiment, a portion of the outer wall surface of one of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion protrudes to form a first protrusion, while a portion of the inner wall surface of the other protrudes to form a second protrusion. The second protrusion has an abutting end face, and a portion of the second protrusion is recessed to form a mounting groove. One end of the mounting groove communicates with the outside, and the other end extends to the abutting end face. The first protrusion is mounted to the abutting end face through the mounting groove and abuts against the abutting end face; and / or,

[0018] The liquid guiding structure further includes a first sealing element and a second elastic element. The first sealing element is movably disposed at the first through-hole.

The third elastic member is connected to the second seal and the second connecting portion, respectively. The abutment member is located in the communicating channel. The abutment member moves towards the side near the second interface by pushing the second seal to open the liquid replenishment path.

[0020] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid guiding channel gradually increases from the direction close to the atomizing component to the direction away from the atomizing component, and at the second opening, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid guiding channel is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the second seal.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are therefore only examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first," "second," or "third" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0037] The first embodiment of this application provides an atomizer; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The atomizer includes an atomizing component 10, a liquid replenishment component 20, and a liquid guiding structure 30.

[0038] The atomizing assembly 10 has an atomizing element, a first interface 10b, and a mouthpiece 11, with the atomizing element and the first interface 10b connected together.

[0039] The replenishment component 20 has a second interface 20a, and the atomizing component 10 and the replenishment component 20 are detachably connected through the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a.

[0040] When the liquid replenishment component 20 is connected to the atomizing component 10, the liquid replenishment component avoids the nozzle 11 and the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a are connected.

[0041] At least a portion of the liquid guiding structure 30 is disposed at the connection between the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a, so as to conduct the liquid replenishment path from the liquid replenishment component 20, the second interface 20a, the first interface 10b to the atomizing element, at least under the action of the suction negative pressure of the atomizing component 10.

[0042] Specifically, the atomizing element is capable of atomizing the liquid.

[0043] The source of the atomizing fluid is not limited.

[0044] For example, the atomizing assembly 10 has a liquid storage chamber 10a, and the atomizing element atomizes the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 10a.

[0045] Understandably, there is no limit to the number of 10a liquid storage tanks.

[0046] For example, there is one liquid storage tank 10a.

[0047] For example, there are multiple liquid storage tanks 10a.

[0048] Of course, in some embodiments, the atomizing component 10 may not have a liquid storage tank 10a. The atomizing component 10 is connected to the liquid replenishment component 20 so that the atomizing element can atomize the replenishment liquid flowing in the liquid replenishment path.

[0049] In other embodiments, the atomizing component 10 may not have a liquid storage chamber 10a, and the atomizing liquid may be stored in a material with liquid storage or liquid guiding properties, and the atomizing element atomizes the atomizing liquid in the material with liquid storage or liquid guiding properties.

[0050] The replenishment component 20 is connected to the atomizing component 10 and is used to replenish the atomizing liquid to the atomizing element or the liquid storage tank 10a in the atomizing component 10.

[0051] The atomizing component 10 can be used independently. That is, when there is an appropriate amount of atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 10a or a material with liquid storage or guiding properties, the user can use the atomizing component 10 alone for suction, and the atomizing component 10 independently completes the atomization process.

[0052] Of course, the atomizing component 10 can also be used in conjunction with the replenishment component 20. That is, when there is no atomizing liquid in the atomizing component 10 or the amount of atomizing liquid in the atomizing component 10 decreases and needs to be replenished, the atomizing component 10 and the replenishment component 20 are connected to form a replenishment path from the replenishment component 20, the second interface 20a, the first interface 10b to the atomizing element. During the user's inhalation, a suction negative pressure is generated within the atomizing component 10. Under the action of this suction negative pressure, the replenishing liquid in the replenishment component 20 is automatically replenished into the atomizing component 10 along the replenishment path. In other words, the replenishment process of the replenishment component 20 and the atomization process of the atomizing component 10 can occur simultaneously. This improves the continuity of atomizing liquid supply during the use of the atomizer.

[0053] The connection method of the detachable atomizing component 10 and the replenishment component 20 is not limited.

[0054] For example, the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or magnetic attraction, or the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20 can be connected to each other only through the connection of the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a.

[0055] For example, the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20 are connected by threads. One of the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20 has an internal thread, and the other has an external thread. The internal and external threads are tightened by rotation to connect the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20, thereby improving the sealing performance at the connection between the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20 and effectively preventing leakage of the atomizing liquid during the replenishment process.

[0056] It should be noted that when the atomizing component 10 and the replenishment component 20 are connected, the replenishment component 20 avoids the mouthpiece 11. In other words, the replenishment component 20 is positioned to avoid the mouthpiece 11, meaning it will not interfere with the mouthpiece 11 or affect the user's normal inhalation through the mouthpiece 11. For example, the first interface 10b and the mouthpiece 11 are located on different sides of the atomizing component 10. In one specific embodiment, the mouthpiece 11 is located on one end face of the atomizing component 10, and the first interface 10b is located on either side of the circumference, or the first interface 10b is located on the other end face of the atomizing component 10. This allows the user to inhale even during the replenishment process of the atomizer, thus improving ease of use.

[0057] The liquid guiding structure 30 has a good liquid guiding effect, and it can connect the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a, thereby guiding the replenishing liquid in the replenishing component 20 into the liquid storage tank 10a.

[0058] The structure type of the liquid-conducting structure 30 is not limited.

[0059] For example, the liquid guiding structure 30 includes a capillary tube 32 with capillary channels. The capillary tube 32 is disposed inside the liquid replenishment assembly 20, and one end is connected to the first interface 10b through the second interface 20a. Therefore, without the need for an additional power source, the capillary action of the capillary tube 32 on the liquid allows the liquid replenishment assembly 20 to automatically replenish the liquid into the atomizing assembly 10 under the suction negative pressure of the atomizing assembly 10, thereby further improving the ease of use of the atomizer.

[0060] Specifically, one end of the capillary tube 32 is located inside the replenishment component 20, and the other end passes through the second interface 20a and is connected to the first interface 10b. When the atomizing component 10 generates negative pressure due to user suction, the replenishment liquid in the replenishment component 20 is replenished into the atomizing component 10 along the capillary channel inside the capillary tube 32 using capillary action.

[0061] The replenishment path is the flow path of the replenishment liquid in the replenishment component 20 to the atomizing element. During the user's suction process, under the action of the liquid guiding structure 30 and the suction negative pressure of the atomizing component 10, the replenishment liquid in the replenishment component 20 can flow sequentially through the second interface 20a and the first interface 10b, thereby flowing to the atomizing element so that the atomizing element can atomize the replenishment liquid.

[0062] The atomizer of this embodiment includes an atomizing component 10, a liquid replenishment component 20, and a liquid guiding structure 30. The atomizing component 10 has an atomizing element, a first interface 10b, and a nozzle 11, with the atomizing element and the first interface 10b connected. The atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20 are detachably connected. The liquid replenishment component 20 has a second interface 20a. When the liquid replenishment component 20 is connected to the atomizing component 10, the liquid replenishment component 20 avoids the nozzle 11, and the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a are connected. At least a portion of the liquid guiding structure 30 is disposed at the connection between the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a, so as to conduct the liquid replenishment path from the liquid replenishment component 20, the second interface 20a, the first interface 10b to the atomizing element, at least under the suction negative pressure of the atomizing component 10. That is, by providing the liquid guiding structure 30, the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a can be connected. During the atomizer's inhalation process, a negative pressure is generated within the atomizing component 10. By avoiding the nozzle 11 through the replenishment component 20, the liquid guiding structure 30 can ensure the liquid replenishment path is open, at least under the action of the negative pressure. Therefore, the replenishment liquid within the replenishment component 20 can flow along the replenishment path under the negative pressure, thus automatically replenishing the atomizing component 10. As can be seen, the atomizer of this application can automatically replenish liquid during inhalation, eliminating the need for manual operation by the user, greatly simplifying the replenishment process and improving ease of use.

[0063] It should be noted that when the liquid guiding structure 30 opens the liquid replenishment path, the replenishment liquid in the liquid replenishment assembly 20 can flow along the liquid replenishment path only under the suction negative pressure of the atomizing assembly 10. Of course, depending on the specific structure of the liquid guiding structure 30, in addition to being subjected to suction negative pressure, the replenishment liquid in the liquid replenishment assembly 20 can also flow along the liquid replenishment path under the synergistic effect of other driving forces, such as the elastic extrusion force of the elastic element.

[0064] In one embodiment, the replenishment component 20 further includes a replenishment chamber 23, which is made of an elastic material. Under the action of the suction negative pressure of the atomizing component 10 and the elastic potential energy of the replenishment chamber 23, the replenishment liquid in the replenishment chamber 23 flows along the replenishment path. This allows the replenishment component 20 to replenish the atomizing component 10 with a sufficient amount of atomizing liquid in a timely manner, thereby further improving the ease of use of the atomizer.

[0065] Specifically, the replenishment tank 23 refers to the component within the replenishment assembly 20 used to store replenishment fluid.

[0066] It is understandable that the replenishment chamber 23 is filled with replenishing liquid and has a certain elastic potential energy. When the replenishment component 20 is not used or when the replenishment component 20 does not supply replenishing liquid to the atomizing component 10, the elastic potential energy of the replenishment chamber 23 is balanced with the pressure of the replenishing liquid. At this time, the replenishment chamber 23 remains unchanged and the replenishing liquid does not flow. When the replenishment component 20 is connected to the atomizing component 10, under the suction negative pressure of the atomizing component 10, the balance between the elastic potential energy of the replenishment chamber 23 and the pressure of the replenishing liquid is broken. The replenishment chamber 23 contracts under the combined action of the thrust released by the elastic potential energy and the attraction of the negative pressure, supplying replenishing liquid to the atomizing component 10.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The replenishment assembly 20 also includes a housing 21, a first elastic element 22, and a replenishment chamber 23. The replenishment chamber 23 has a replenishment cavity communicating with the second interface 20a. The opposite ends of the first elastic element 22 abut against the replenishment chamber 23 and the housing 21, respectively, so that under the suction negative pressure of the atomizing assembly 10 and the elastic action of the first elastic element 22, the replenishment liquid in the replenishment chamber 23 flows along the replenishment path. Thus, through the combined action of the first elastic element 22 and the suction negative pressure of the atomizing assembly 10, the replenishment liquid can be pushed to flow along the replenishment path more stably and efficiently, enabling the replenishment assembly 20 to replenish the atomizing assembly 10 with atomizing liquid in a timely and sufficient manner, thereby further improving the convenience of using the atomizer.

[0068] Specifically, the first elastic element 22 refers to a component with elastic deformation capability.

[0069] The structure of the first elastic element 22 is not limited.

[0070] For example, the first elastic element 22 is a spring.

[0071] For example, the first elastic element 22 is a spring sheet.

[0072] Of course, the first elastic element 22 can also be a spring or a rubber band.

[0073] The replenishment tank 23 refers to the component within the replenishment assembly 20 used to store replenishment fluid.

[0074] The first elastic element 22 abuts against the housing 21 and the replenishment chamber 23 respectively. During the user's inhalation process, a suction negative pressure is generated in the atomizing component 10, causing an imbalance between the pressure in the atomizing component 10 and the pressure in the replenishment chamber 23. At this time, the first elastic element 22 releases part of its elastic potential energy, and by squeezing the replenishment chamber 23, it causes the replenishment liquid in the replenishment chamber 23 to replenish into the atomizing component 10 along the replenishment path.

[0075] The material type of the replenishment tank 23 is not limited.

[0076] For example, the material of the replenishment chamber 23 is a flexible material. For example, the material of the replenishment chamber 23 is rubber or silicone. Therefore, when the first elastic member 22 squeezes the replenishment chamber 23, the replenishment chamber 23 has good deformation ability and can undergo significant deformation under the action of the first elastic member 22, thereby effectively squeezing the replenishment liquid in the replenishment chamber, so that the replenishment liquid is replenished into the atomizing component 10 along the replenishment path under pressure.

[0077] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The fluid replenishment assembly 20 also includes an abutment plate located between the first elastic member 22 and the fluid replenishment chamber 23. Both ends of the first elastic member 22 abut against the abutment plate and the housing 21, respectively. Thus, the abutment plate can evenly distribute the compressive force of the first elastic member 22 to the surface of the fluid replenishment chamber 23, preventing the fluid replenishment chamber 23 from being damaged due to excessive local stress.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 Along the height of the replenishment assembly 20, the first elastic element 22 is located on the side of the replenishment chamber 23 opposite to the nozzle 11, and the opposite ends of the first elastic element 22 abut against the bottom of the housing 21 and the bottom of the replenishment chamber 23, respectively. This allows the replenishment assembly 20 to replenish the atomizing assembly 10 with a sufficient amount of atomizing liquid in a timely manner, thereby further improving the ease of use of the atomizer.

[0079] Specifically, after the atomizing component 10 and the replenishment component 20 are connected, the pressure inside the atomizing component 10 and the pressure inside the replenishment chamber 23 are initially balanced, and the weight of the replenishment liquid inside the replenishment chamber is also balanced with the elastic force of the first elastic element 22. When the user inhales, the pressure inside the atomizing component 10 decreases, creating a pressure difference between the atomizing component 10 and the replenishment chamber 23. Under the action of this pressure difference, the balance between the weight of the replenishment liquid inside the replenishment chamber and the elastic force of the first elastic element 22 is broken. The first elastic element 22 releases its elastic energy, squeezing the replenishment chamber 23 and causing the replenishment liquid inside the replenishment chamber 23 to replenish the atomizing component 10 along the replenishment path.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The atomizer also includes a first sealing membrane 40, which is provided on one of the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a. The liquid guiding structure 30 includes a liquid guiding tube 31 with a liquid guiding channel 34a. One end of the liquid guiding tube 31 is located at the other of the first interface 10b and the second interface 20a, and the other end of the liquid guiding tube 31 is a puncture end 311. The cross-sectional area of ​​the puncture end 311 gradually decreases from the side away from the first sealing membrane 40 to the side closer to the first sealing membrane 40. This improves the sealing effect of the atomizer and reduces the risk of atomized liquid leakage.

[0081] Specifically, the liquid guide tube 31 refers to the component used to guide the atomizing liquid from the replenishment component 20 to the atomizing component 10.

[0082] It is understandable that when the first interface 10b is provided with the first sealing membrane 40, one end of the liquid guide tube 31 is located at the second interface 20a. The end of the liquid guide tube 31 near the first interface 10b is the puncture end 311, which punctures the first sealing membrane 40 to open the liquid replenishment path.

[0083] When the second interface 20a is provided with the first sealing membrane 40, one end of the liquid guide tube 31 is located at the first interface 10b. The end of the liquid guide tube 31 near the second interface 20a is the puncture end 311, which punctures the first sealing membrane 40 to open the liquid replenishment path.

[0084] The material type of the first sealing membrane 40 is not limited.

[0085] For example, the first sealing membrane 40 is made of rubber. On the one hand, this improves the sealing effect of the atomizer when the puncture end 311 does not puncture the first sealing membrane 40. On the other hand, after the puncture end 311 punctures the first sealing membrane 40, the elasticity of the rubber material causes the first sealing membrane 40 to abut against the side wall of the puncture end 311, thereby improving the sealing performance of the atomizer during use.

[0086] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The atomizer also includes a second sealing membrane 50. A first sealing membrane 40 is provided at the first interface 10b. One end of the liquid guide tube 31 is located at the second interface 20a. The end of the liquid guide tube 31 near the first interface 10b is a puncture end 311. The second sealing membrane 50 covers the puncture end 311. Both the first sealing membrane 40 and the second sealing membrane 50 are made of rubber. On one hand, when the atomizing component 10 is separated from the liquid replenishment component 20, the first sealing membrane 40 seals the first interface 10b, and the second sealing membrane 50 covers the puncture end 311, thereby sealing the second interface 20a, thus improving the sealing effect of the atomizer. On the other hand, when the atomizing component 10 is connected to the liquid replenishment component 20, the puncture end 311 punctures the second sealing membrane 50 and the first sealing membrane 40 in sequence to open the liquid replenishment path. Due to the elasticity of the rubber material itself, both the first sealing membrane 40 and the second sealing membrane 50 abut against the sidewall of the puncture end 311, thereby improving the sealing performance of the atomizer during use.

[0087] The material type of the second sealing membrane 50 is not limited.

[0088] For example, the material of the second sealing membrane 50 is rubber.

[0089] It should be noted that since both the first sealing membrane 40 and the second sealing membrane 50 are made of rubber, by utilizing the elasticity of the rubber material, after the liquid replenishment component 20 has replenished the liquid to the atomizing component 10 and the two are separated, the first sealing membrane 40 and the second sealing membrane 50 can seal their respective puncture openings through elastic deformation. Thus, the sealing effect of the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20 can be further improved.

[0090] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 The atomizer also includes a first sealing membrane 40, and the liquid guiding structure 30 includes a liquid guiding tube 31 with a liquid guiding channel. One of the atomizing component 10 and the replenishing component 20 is provided with the first sealing membrane 40 and a bending groove 10c, while the other is provided with a liquid guiding tube 31. One end of the bending groove 10c communicates with the outside, and the other end extends to the first sealing membrane 40. The liquid guiding tube 31 extends into the bending groove 10c, and the bending degree of the liquid guiding tube 31 matches the bending degree of the bending groove 10c. Thus, the bending groove 10c provides a clear insertion path and guide for the liquid guiding tube 31, enabling the liquid guiding tube 31 to accurately align with and pierce the first sealing membrane 40, avoiding the problem of poor atomized liquid transmission due to insertion position deviation, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the connection. At the same time, it can prevent the vertical needle of the replenishing component of other atomizers from being mistakenly installed on the atomizing component 10 of this application, thereby ensuring the safety of the atomized liquid in the atomizing component 10.

[0091] Specifically, the curved groove 10c refers to the component used to guide the piercing end 311 of the liquid guiding tube 31 to pierce the first sealing membrane 40 to open the liquid guiding path.

[0092] Understandably, when the atomizing assembly 10 is equipped with a first sealing membrane 40 and a curved groove 10c, the first sealing membrane 40 is located at the end of the curved groove 10c facing away from the liquid replenishment assembly 20. The liquid replenishment assembly 20 is equipped with a liquid guide tube 31, and the liquid guide tube 31 is connected to the second interface 20a. The end of the liquid guide tube 31 facing away from the second interface 20a is a puncture end 311. When the liquid replenishment assembly 20 is connected to the atomizing assembly 10, the liquid guide tube 31 is inserted into the curved groove 10c, at which time the puncture end 311 punctures the first sealing membrane 40 to open the liquid guide path.

[0093] When the replenishing component 20 is equipped with a first sealing membrane 40 and a bending groove 10c, the first sealing membrane 40 is located at the end of the bending groove 10c facing away from the atomizing component 10. The atomizing component 10 is equipped with a liquid guide tube 31, and the liquid guide tube 31 is connected to the first interface 10b. The end of the liquid guide tube 31 facing away from the first interface 10b is a puncture end 311. When the replenishing component 20 is connected to the atomizing component 10, the liquid guide tube 31 is inserted into the bending groove 10c, at which time the puncture end 311 punctures the first sealing membrane 40 to open the liquid guide path.

[0094] It should be noted that matching the degree of curvature of the liquid guide tube 31 with that of the bending groove 10c means that the degree of curvature of the liquid guide tube 31 is the same as that of the bending groove 10c. Of course, since the cross-sectional dimension of the bending groove 10c is larger than that of the liquid guide tube 31, the degree of curvature of the liquid guide tube 31 and the degree of curvature of the bending groove 10c can also be different, as long as the liquid guide tube 31 can extend into the bending groove 10c.

[0095] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The replenishment component 20 has a first vent 20b that communicates with the outside, and an oil-separating membrane is provided at the first vent 20b. This facilitates ventilation of the replenishment component 20 while reducing the risk of replenishment fluid leaking from the first vent 20b.

[0096] Specifically, the oil-separating membrane allows the replenishment assembly 20 to exchange gases with the outside environment, while preventing the replenishment liquid in the replenishment assembly 20 from leaking from the first vent 20b.

[0097] The location of the first vent 20b in the liquid replenishment component 20 is not limited, as long as it allows the liquid replenishment component 20 to exchange gases with the outside world.

[0098] In one specific embodiment, the atomizing component 10 has a second vent 10d and an oil-separating membrane. The liquid storage chamber 10a is connected to the outside through the second vent 10d, and the oil-separating membrane is disposed at the second vent 10d. Thus, while facilitating ventilation of the atomizing component 10, the risk of leakage of the atomizing liquid in the atomizing component 10 from the second vent 10d can be reduced.

[0099] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The liquid guiding structure 30 includes a first connecting portion 33 disposed at the first interface 10b and a second connecting portion 34 disposed at the second interface 20a. The first connecting portion 33 has a connecting channel 33a and a first through-hole 33b, the connecting channel 33a communicating with the first interface 10b and the first through-hole 33b respectively. The second connecting portion 34 has a liquid guiding channel 34a and a second through-hole 34b, the liquid guiding channel 34a communicating with the second interface 20a and the second through-hole 34b respectively. The first connecting portion 33 and the second connecting portion 34 abut against each other, and the first through-hole 33b communicates with the second through-hole 34b to guide the liquid replenishment path. Therefore, on the one hand, leakage of atomizing liquid can be effectively prevented during the liquid replenishment process of the liquid replenishment component 20 to the atomizing component 10. On the other hand, the abutment between the first connecting portion 33 and the second connecting portion 34 can improve the stability of the connection between the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20.

[0100] Specifically, the first connection part 33 refers to the component of the liquid guiding structure 30 located at the first interface 10b.

[0101] The second connection part 34 refers to the component of the liquid guiding structure 30 located at the second interface 20a.

[0102] The first connecting part 33 and the second connecting part 34 cooperate with each other to realize the connection between the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20 and the conduction of the liquid replenishment path.

[0103] The first through port 33b refers to the opening that communicates with the atomizing component 10. When the atomizing component 10 is connected to the replenishing component 20, the replenishing liquid in the replenishing component 20 enters the communicating channel 33a through the first interface 10b, and then enters the atomizing component 10 through the first through port 33b to replenish the atomizing liquid in the atomizing component 10.

[0104] The second through-port 34b refers to the opening through which the replenishing liquid in the replenishing component 20 flows out. When the atomizing component 10 is connected to the replenishing component 20, the first through-port 33b and the second through-port 34b are connected. The replenishing liquid in the replenishing component 20 enters the liquid guiding channel 34a through the second interface 20a and flows along the liquid guiding channel 34a, passing through the second through-port 34b and the first through-port 33b in sequence to enter the interior of the atomizing component 10.

[0105] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7A portion of the outer wall surface of one of the first connecting portion 33 and the second connecting portion 34 protrudes to form a first protrusion 341, while a portion of the inner wall surface of the other protrudes to form a second protrusion 331. The second protrusion 331 has an abutting end face 3311, and a portion of the second protrusion 331 is recessed to form a mounting groove 331a. One end of the mounting groove 331a communicates with the outside, and the other end extends to the abutting end face 3311. The first protrusion 341 is installed to the abutting end face 3311 through the mounting groove 331a and abuts against the abutting end face 3311. This further improves the stability of the connection between the atomizing assembly 10 and the liquid replenishment assembly 20.

[0106] It should be noted that a portion of the outer wall surface of the first connecting part 33 may protrude along the radial direction of the connecting channel 33a toward the side opposite to the connecting channel to form a first protrusion 341, and a portion of the inner wall surface of the liquid guiding channel 34a of the second connecting part 34 near the side of the first connecting part 33 may protrude along the radial direction of the liquid guiding channel 34a toward the side opposite to the outer wall surface of the second connecting part 34 to form a second protrusion 331.

[0107] Alternatively, a portion of the outer wall of the second connecting portion 34 may protrude radially toward the side opposite to the liquid guiding channel 34a to form a first protrusion 341, and a portion of the inner wall of the connecting channel 33a of the first connecting portion 33 near the side of the first connecting portion 33 may protrude radially toward the side opposite to the outer wall of the first connecting portion 33 to form a second protrusion 331.

[0108] The abutting end face 3311 refers to the plane on the second protrusion 331 that abuts against the first protrusion 341.

[0109] Mounting groove 331a refers to a groove-shaped structure used to guide the mounting direction of the first protrusion 341 and provide mounting space for the first protrusion 341. The first protrusion 341 passes through the mounting groove 331a through the second protrusion 331 and then abuts against the abutting end face 3311.

[0110] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A portion of the contact end face 3311 is recessed to form a recessed area 331b. When the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20 are connected, the first protrusion 341 is located within the recessed area 331b. This further improves the stability of the connection between the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20.

[0111] It should be noted that the mounting groove 331a and the recessed area 331b are located in different regions of the second protrusion 331, that is, the mounting groove 331a and the recessed area 331b are misaligned. After the first protrusion 341 passes through the second protrusion 331 along the mounting groove 331a, the first protrusion 341 rotates a certain angle along its central axis, so that the first protrusion 341 is installed in the recessed area 331b and abuts against the recessed area 331b.

[0112] In one specific embodiment, the mounting groove 331a is located on one side of the second protrusion 331 along the first direction; along the height direction of the atomizing assembly 10, the recessed area 331b is located on the side of the second protrusion 331 near the nozzle, and the first protrusion 341 is located on the side of the liquid guiding channel 34a near the nozzle 11, with the first direction perpendicular to the height direction of the atomizing assembly 10. When the atomizing assembly 10 is connected to the liquid replenishment assembly 20, the liquid replenishment assembly 20 is positioned along the first direction so that the first protrusion 341 can enter the mounting groove 331a. After the first protrusion 341 is inserted into the mounting groove 331a, the liquid replenishment assembly 20 is rotated 90° counterclockwise so that the first protrusion 341 is installed in the recessed area 331b and abuts against the recessed area 331b. This improves the stability of the connection between the atomizing assembly 10 and the liquid replenishment assembly 20.

[0113] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The liquid guiding structure 30 also includes a first sealing element 35 and a second elastic element 36. The first sealing element 35 is movably disposed at the first through-hole 33b. The second elastic element 36 is connected to both the first sealing element 35 and the first connecting portion 33. The second connecting portion 34 abuts against the first sealing element 35, thereby allowing the first sealing element 35 to avoid the first through-hole 33b. Thus, when the liquid replenishment assembly 20 and the atomizing assembly 10 are not connected, the sealing performance of the atomizing assembly 10 is improved.

[0114] Specifically, when the replenishment component 20 and the atomizing component 10 are not connected, the second elastic member 36 abuts against the first sealing member 35, causing the first sealing member 35 to be located at the first through-hole 33b to block the first through-hole 33b, thereby preventing the atomized liquid in the liquid storage tank 10a from leaking through the first through-hole 33b. During the connection process between the replenishment component 20 and the atomizing component 10, the end face of the second connecting part 34 abuts against the first sealing member 35 and pushes the first sealing member 35 to move along the connecting channel 33a toward the side away from the replenishment component 20, so as to avoid the first through-hole 33b, so that the first through-hole 33b and the second through-hole 34b are connected to conduct the replenishment path.

[0115] The material type of the first seal 35 is not limited.

[0116] For example, the material of the first seal 35 is silicone.

[0117] The structure of the second elastic element 36 is not limited.

[0118] For example, the second elastic element 36 is a spring.

[0119] For example, the second elastic element 36 is a spring sheet.

[0120] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The liquid guiding structure 30 also includes a second seal 37, a third elastic member 38, and an abutment member 39. The second seal 37 is movably disposed on the side of the liquid guiding channel 34a near the second interface 20a. The third elastic member 38 is connected to the second seal 37 and the second connecting portion 34, respectively. The abutment member 39 is located in the connecting channel 33a. The abutment member 39 pushes the second seal 37 towards the side near the second interface 20a to open the liquid replenishment path. Thus, when the liquid replenishment assembly 20 and the atomizing assembly 10 are not connected, the sealing performance of the liquid replenishment assembly 20 is improved.

[0121] Specifically, when the replenishment assembly 20 and the atomizing assembly 10 are not connected, the second seal 37 is located on the side of the second passage 34b near the second interface 20a. The third elastic member 38 abuts against the second seal 37, causing the periphery of the second seal 37 to abut against the inner wall of the liquid guiding channel 34a, thereby preventing the replenishment liquid in the replenishment assembly 20 from leaking through the second passage 34b. During the connection process between the replenishment assembly 20 and the atomizing assembly 10, the end face of the abutment member 39 abuts against the second seal 37 and pushes the second seal 37 along the liquid guiding channel 34a toward the side away from the atomizing assembly 10, causing the periphery of the second seal 37 to separate from the inner wall of the liquid guiding channel 34a, thereby opening the liquid guiding channel 34a to facilitate the replenishment path.

[0122] The material type of the second seal 37 is not limited.

[0123] For example, the material of the second seal 37 is silicone.

[0124] The structure of the third elastic element 38 is not limited.

[0125] For example, the third elastic element 38 is a spring.

[0126] For example, the third elastic element 38 is a spring sheet.

[0127] The abutment 39 is used to abut against the second seal 37 and push the second seal 37 along the liquid guiding channel 34a toward the side away from the atomizing assembly 10 to open the liquid guiding path.

[0128] In one specific embodiment, the abutment 39 extends along the extension direction of the connecting channel 33a, and a portion of the first sealing member 35 penetrates to form a guide channel. The abutment 39 passes through the second elastic member 36 and the guide channel. This reduces the positional displacement of the first sealing member 35 during movement, thereby avoiding the risk of blocking the liquid guiding path due to misalignment when the atomizing assembly 10 and the liquid replenishment assembly 20 are connected.

[0129] In one specific embodiment, the liquid guiding channel 34a is open on the side opposite to the second interface 20a to form a connection port, and the abutment member 39 is inserted into the connection port to abut against the second seal member 37. Thus, by providing a connection port, the abutment member 39 can directly act on the second seal member 37, and the mechanical action response is rapid, enabling rapid switching of the sealing state when the atomizing assembly 10 and the liquid replenishment assembly 20 are connected or separated, reducing the risk of atomizing liquid leakage.

[0130] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 From the direction closest to the atomizing component 10 to the direction away from the atomizing component 10, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid guiding channel 34a gradually increases, and at the second opening 34b, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid guiding channel 34a is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the second sealing member 37. Therefore, on the one hand, when the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20 are not connected, the second sealing member 37 abuts against the inner wall of the liquid guiding channel 34a to block the second opening 34b, improving the sealing performance of the liquid replenishment component 20. On the other hand, when the atomizing component 10 and the liquid replenishment component 20 are connected, the abutting member 39 pushes against the second sealing member 37 to open the liquid guiding path, improving ease of use.

[0131] The second embodiment of this application provides an atomizing component 10, which is the atomizing component 10 in any of the above-mentioned atomizers.

[0132] The third embodiment of this application provides a liquid replenishment component 20, which is the liquid replenishment component 20 in any of the above-mentioned atomizers.
