Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizing device and its liquid replenishment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In some countries and regions, the laws require that atomizing devices not store liquid matrix when shipped. Therefore, a liquid replenishment mechanism is required to store the liquid matrix, and when needed, the user supplies liquid to the cavity of the atomizing device through the liquid replenishment mechanism.

[0003] However, since the liquid matrix is ​​supplied to the atomizing mechanism by gravity from the replenishment mechanism, the supply time is uncontrollable. This may result in the atomizing coil not being fully lubricated, leading to a burnt taste during vaping. Furthermore, achieving complete lubrication requires a considerable amount of time to allow the liquid matrix to naturally flow and fill the atomizing mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0013] In some embodiments, after the first cover plate and the second cover plate slide relative to the liquid-retaining housing and the first cover plate rotates again relative to the second cover plate, the first cover plate can rotate a third time relative to the second cover plate to fully open the liquid outlet channel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the third rotation angle of the first cover plate relative to the second cover plate is smaller than the first rotation angle of the first cover plate relative to the second cover plate or the second rotation angle of the first cover plate relative to the second cover plate.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 Some embodiments of this application provide an atomizing device 1000, including a refill mechanism 100 and an atomizing mechanism 200 independent of the refill mechanism 100. In these embodiments, the atomizing device 1000 may also be referred to as an atomizer or a cartridge. In some embodiments, the atomizing device 1000 may further include a power supply mechanism electrically connected to the atomizing mechanism 200. The atomizing device 1000 may also be referred to as an electronic atomizing device 1000 or an electronic cigarette. The power supply mechanism may be combined with the atomizing mechanism 200 or independent of the atomizing mechanism 200.

[0026] In these embodiments, the atomizing mechanism 200 may not store a liquid matrix inside when it leaves the factory, but when the user uses it, the liquid can be supplied to the atomizing mechanism 200 through the liquid replenishment mechanism 100.

[0027] In some embodiments, the atomizing mechanism 200 may also have a liquid matrix stored inside it at the time of manufacture, and the user may continue to replenish the liquid to the atomizing mechanism 200 through the liquid replenishment mechanism 100 when using it.

[0028] In some embodiments, the liquid matrix includes e-liquid.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the liquid replenishment mechanism 100 includes a first housing assembly 10, which includes a liquid replenishment housing 12 and a cover plate 13 disposed on the liquid replenishment housing 12. The liquid replenishment housing 12 has a liquid replenishment cavity 11 formed within it for containing a liquid matrix. The cover plate 13 includes a first cover plate 131 and a second cover plate 132, and the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 are provided with a liquid outlet channel 14 in a closed state. In these embodiments, the liquid replenishment housing 12 forms a receiving cavity capable of containing a liquid matrix, and the cover plate 13 controls the state of the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0030] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the atomizing mechanism 200 includes a second housing assembly 20, which has a liquid storage chamber 26 for containing a liquid matrix and an atomizing core 27 for atomizing the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol. The second housing assembly 20 has a liquid inlet channel 28 communicating with the liquid storage chamber 26. In these embodiments, the liquid matrix enters the liquid storage chamber 26 through the liquid inlet channel 28 and is atomized by the atomizing core 27 to generate an aerosol.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, when the replenishing mechanism 100 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 200, the inlet channel 28 can be connected to the outlet channel 14. In these embodiments, this allows the liquid matrix in the replenishing chamber 11 to enter the storage chamber 26 through the connection between the outlet channel 14 and the inlet channel 28.

[0032] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, after the replenishing mechanism 100 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 200, the first cover plate 131 can rotate relative to the second cover plate 132, thereby opening at least a portion of the liquid outlet channel 14 to allow the replenishing chamber 11 to communicate with the storage chamber 26. In these embodiments, opening at least a portion of the liquid outlet channel 14 allows liquid in the replenishing chamber 11 to leave the replenishing chamber 11 through the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0033] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5In some embodiments, after opening at least a portion of the liquid outlet channel 14, the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 can slide relative to the replenishing housing 12 toward the replenishing chamber 11 to compress the volume of the replenishing chamber 11, thereby promoting the flow of the liquid matrix in the replenishing chamber 11 into the storage chamber 26. In these embodiments, compressing the volume of the replenishing chamber 11 increases the pressure within the replenishing chamber 11, thereby increasing the speed at which the liquid matrix enters the storage chamber 26, achieving rapid wick lubrication and reducing the waiting time for wick lubrication. In these embodiments, the method of opening at least a portion of the liquid outlet channel 14 before pressurizing the replenishing chamber 11 ensures a smooth and controllable start-up of the liquid supply, reducing the possibility of the liquid matrix flowing out too quickly due to increased pressure in the replenishing chamber 11, which could damage the structure of the atomizing device 1000 or cause liquid matrix leakage, thus improving the safety of the operation of pressurizing the replenishing chamber 11.

[0034] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first cover plate 131 and the replenishing housing 12 jointly define the replenishing cavity 11, and the second cover plate 132 is disposed on the side of the first cover plate 131 away from the replenishing cavity 11. In these embodiments, the first cover plate 131 is closer to the replenishing cavity 11 than the second housing, thus enabling it to jointly define the replenishing cavity 11 with the replenishing housing 12. Furthermore, the liquid outlet channel 14 may be disposed only on the first housing, or simultaneously on the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132.

[0035] For example, when only the first cover plate 131 is provided, the second cover plate 132 can serve as a sealing member to close the first cover plate 131, thereby closing the liquid outlet channel 14 by blocking the liquid outlet. In use, the liquid outlet channel 14 can be opened simply by rotating the second cover plate 132 and the first cover plate 131 relative to each other.

[0036] As another example, when both the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 are simultaneously provided, the liquid outlet channel 14 can be provided through the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132. In this case, the second cover plate 132 also serves as part of forming the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0037] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 In some embodiments, when the replenishing mechanism 100 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 200, the second cover plate 132 is held on the atomizing mechanism 200. This arrangement restricts the movement of the second cover plate 132 after the replenishing mechanism 100 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 200, so that the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 can rotate relative to each other.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the replenishing mechanism 100 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 200, the second cover plate 132 is held on the atomizing mechanism 200, the replenishing housing 12 rotates relative to the atomizing mechanism 200, and drives the first cover plate 131 to move during the rotation, so that the first cover plate 131 rotates relative to the second cover plate 132.

[0039] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second cover plate 132 is provided with a connector 1321, which defines a partial liquid outlet channel 14; the second housing assembly 20 is provided with a connector 29, which defines at least a partial liquid inlet channel 28. In these embodiments, when the liquid replenishment mechanism 100 is connected to the atomizing mechanism 200, the connector 1321 extends at least partially into the connector 29 of the atomizing mechanism 200, so that the second cover plate 132 is held on the atomizing mechanism 200 and the liquid outlet channel 14 and the liquid inlet channel 28 are connected.

[0040] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 In some embodiments, when the atomizing mechanism 200 is connected to the replenishing mechanism 100, the insertion pipe 1321 can be inserted into the insertion port 29. This arrangement can further increase the sealing of the connection between the liquid outlet channel 14 and the liquid inlet channel 28, reducing the occurrence of liquid matrix leakage.

[0041] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 In some embodiments, the liquid outlet channel 14 includes a first liquid outlet section 141 disposed on a first cover plate 131 and a second liquid outlet section 142 disposed on a second cover plate 132. In these embodiments, by rotating the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 relative to each other, the first liquid outlet section 141 and the second liquid outlet section 142 are misaligned or connected relative to each other, thereby opening or closing the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0042] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 In some embodiments, before the first cover plate 131 rotates relative to the second cover plate 132, the first liquid outlet section 141 and the second liquid outlet section 142 are misaligned and disconnected, and the opening of the first liquid outlet section 141 is blocked by the side of the second cover plate 132 near the first cover plate 131. At this time, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a closed state.

[0043] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 In some embodiments, when the first cover plate 131 rotates relative to the second cover plate 132, the first liquid outlet section 141 and the second liquid outlet section 142 are in relative communication. At this time, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a relatively connected open state. At this time, along the extending direction of the liquid outlet channel 14, the projection of the opening of the first liquid outlet section 141 near the second liquid outlet section 142 at least partially coincides with the projection of the opening of the second liquid outlet section 142, so as to open the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0044] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 In some embodiments, when the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 slide relative to the fluid replenishment housing 12, the first cover plate 131 can rotate again relative to the second cover plate 132. With this arrangement, the volume of the fluid replenishment chamber 11 can be reduced to increase the pressure within the fluid replenishment chamber 11 while the outlet channel 14 is further opened, thereby increasing the flow rate of the liquid matrix.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the first cover plate 131 rotates for the first time relative to the second cover plate 132, a portion of the liquid outlet channel 14 is opened. In these embodiments, along the extending direction of the liquid outlet channel 14, the projected portion of the first liquid outlet section 141 near the opening of the second liquid outlet section 142 coincides with the projected portion of the opening of the second liquid outlet section 142, thereby opening the liquid outlet channel 14. At this time, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a preliminary open state, but has not reached a fully open state.

[0046] When the first cover plate 131 rotates again relative to the second cover plate 132, the liquid outlet channel 14 is further opened. In these embodiments, along the extending direction of the liquid outlet channel 14, the overlap between the projection of the first liquid outlet section 141 near the opening of the second liquid outlet section 142 and the projection of the opening of the second liquid outlet section 142 is further increased, so as to further open the liquid outlet channel 14 and increase the flow rate of the liquid matrix. Under this setting, the state of the liquid outlet channel 14 can gradually change from the initial open state to the further open state or the fully open state.

[0047] In some embodiments, the initial rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 is the same as the subsequent rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132. In these embodiments, it can be understood that the fluid path state throughout the movement is controlled by controlling the magnitude of the rotation angle. Furthermore, the rotation angle has a maximum value, at which point the liquid outlet channel 14 is fully open.

[0048] For example, the first cover plate 131 may have an initial rotation action and a second rotation action relative to the second cover plate 132, and after the second rotation, the rotation angle reaches the maximum value.

[0049] For example, the first rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 is the same as the second rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132. It can be understood that during the first rotation, the rotation angle reaches the first rotation angle, which is less than the maximum value. After the second rotation, the rotation angle reaches the second rotation angle, which is equal to the first rotation angle. The sum of the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle is less than the maximum value. At this time, it can be understood that after the second rotation, the rotation angle only increases further and does not reach the maximum value. That is, after the second rotation, the liquid outlet channel 14 is further opened but has not reached the fully opened state.

[0050] In some embodiments, the sum of the initial rotation angle and the subsequent rotation angle equals the maximum value.

[0051] In some embodiments, the initial rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 is smaller than the subsequent rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132. It is understood that, under this configuration, during the initial rotation, the outlet channel 14 can be opened with a smaller opening before the volume of the replenishing chamber 11 is reduced, and then, during the process of reducing the volume of the replenishing chamber 11, the opening can be further increased to a greater extent than before, thereby improving the flow rate and volume of the liquid matrix.

[0052] In some implementations, the initial rotation angle and the subsequent rotation angle are between 6° and 20°. In some embodiments, the maximum rotation angle is between 26° and 46°.

[0053] In some embodiments, after the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 slide relative to the replenishing housing 12 and the first cover plate 131 rotates again relative to the second cover plate 132, the first cover plate 131 can rotate a third time or another time relative to the second cover plate 132 to fully open the outlet channel 14. In these embodiments, a third rotation is added after reducing the replenishing chamber 11, thereby fully opening the outlet channel 14. With this setting, the flow rate of the liquid matrix and the pressure control of the replenishing chamber 11 can be refined. The initial rotation of the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 improves the smoothness of subsequent pressurization; the second rotation during the pressurization of the replenishing chamber 11 maintains a stable pressure and increases the flow rate of the liquid matrix; finally, the third rotation, after the pressure reaches the target and remains stable, further enables the liquid matrix to operate with minimal flow resistance, thereby achieving stable liquid supply.

[0054] In some embodiments, the third rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 is smaller than the first rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 or the second rotation angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132. This arrangement allows most of the liquid outlet channel 14 to be opened during pressurization to meet the need for rapid liquid supply.

[0055] In some embodiments, the third rotation angle is between 6° and 10°.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fluid replenishment housing 12 is configured to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132 and drive the first cover plate 131 to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first cover plate 131 is provided with a first limiting part 1311, and the liquid replenishing shell 12 is provided with a first matching part 121 corresponding to the first limiting part 1311. The first limiting part 1311 and the first matching part 121 cooperate to make the liquid replenishing shell 12 drive the first cover plate 131 to move. After the first cover plate 131 slides relative to the liquid replenishing shell 12 toward the liquid replenishing chamber 11, only the first cover plate 131 is allowed to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132. This setting prevents the liquid replenishing mechanism 100 from disengaging from the atomizing mechanism 200 or from becoming loose and causing leakage during the opening of the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, one of the first limiting portion 1311 and the first matching portion 121 is a first protrusion, and the other is a first groove. The groove wall of the first groove is provided with a blocking structure 1211, which is configured to allow only the first protrusion to move within the first groove along the axis of the liquid-continuing housing 12 in a first direction. The first direction is the direction in which the cover plate 13 slides relative to the liquid-continuing housing 12 toward the liquid-continuing cavity 11. This arrangement ensures that after the first cover plate 131 slides relative to the liquid-continuing housing 12 toward the liquid-continuing cavity 11, only the first cover plate 131 is allowed to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the blocking structure 1211 has a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction, with the height of the cross-section gradually increasing along the first direction; and / or, the first protrusion has a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction, with the height of the cross-section gradually decreasing along the first direction. This arrangement allows the first protrusion to pass through the blocking structure 1211, and enables the blocking structure 1211 to prevent the first protrusion from reciprocating, thus ensuring that after the initial rotation and pressurization of the liquid, only the liquid path is blocked.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first cover plate 131 is provided with a first limiting groove 1312, and the second cover plate 132 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 1322. The first limiting protrusion 1322 is disposed within the first limiting groove 1312 and can move within the first limiting groove 1312. The first limiting groove 1312 is used to limit the maximum value of the rotation angle between the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the edge of the first cover plate 131 is provided with a second limiting groove 1313, and the second cover plate 132 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 1323. The second limiting protrusion 1323 is disposed within the second limiting groove 1313 and can move within the second limiting groove 1313. The second limiting groove 1313 limits the maximum value of the rotation angle between the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132. Further, the second limiting groove 1313 is provided with a first blocking part and a second blocking part. The first blocking part defines a first position a within the second limiting groove 1313, and the second blocking part defines a second position b within the second limiting groove 1313. When the second limiting protrusion 1323 is located at the first position a, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a closed state; when the second limiting protrusion 1323 is located at the second position b, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a fully open state. The first and second blocking parts provide damping force when the second limiting protrusion 1323 crosses the protrusion structure of the first and second blocking parts, making it easier for the user to judge the position and angle of the rotation of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 based on the jerking sensation generated by the damping force, and helping the user to clearly perceive that the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 have rotated into place.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the fluid-containing housing 12 is provided with a second groove 122, and the second limiting protrusion 1323 further passes through the second limiting groove 1313 and extends into the second groove 122. The second groove 122 is used to limit the maximum value of the rotation angle of the fluid-containing housing 12 relative to the second cover plate 132. For example, the maximum value of the rotation angle of the fluid-containing housing 12 relative to the second cover plate 132 is equal to the maximum value of the rotation angle between the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second groove 122 is provided with a third blocking portion and a fourth blocking portion. The third blocking portion defines a third position c within the third groove, and the fourth blocking portion defines a fourth position d within the second groove 122. When the second limiting protrusion 1323 is located at the third position c, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a closed state; when the second limiting protrusion 1323 is located at the fourth position d, the liquid outlet channel 14 is in a fully open state. The third and fourth blocking portions provide damping force when the second limiting protrusion 1323 crosses the protrusions of the third and fourth blocking portions, allowing the user to judge the position and angle of the first cover plate 131 relative to the second cover plate 132 based on the jerking sensation generated by the damping force at that position, helping the user clearly perceive that the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 have rotated into place.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first cover plate 131 is further provided with a third limiting protrusion 1314, and the liquid replenishing shell 12 is provided with a third limiting groove 123. The extending direction of the third limiting groove 123 is parallel to the axis of the liquid replenishing shell 12. The third limiting protrusion 1314 can slide in the third limiting groove 123 to facilitate the assembly and positioning of the first cover plate 131 and the liquid replenishing shell 12.

[0065] In these embodiments, the stop portion can be a spring arm.

[0066] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the second housing assembly 20 includes a mounting housing 21, a replenishing housing 12, and one of the mounting housing 21 is provided with a guide block 15, while the other is provided with a guide rail 30. In these embodiments, the guide rail 30 guides the movement of the guide block 15, thereby controlling the movement trajectory of the replenishing housing 12 relative to the mounting housing 21, thus precisely controlling the state of the liquid outlet channel 14 and the replenishing chamber 11.

[0067] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 12In some embodiments, when the guide block 15 moves on the guide rail 30, the liquid-continuing housing 12 can first rotate relative to the second cover plate 132 and drive the first cover plate 131 to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132, and then slide relative to the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132. In this way, at least part of the liquid outlet channel 14 is opened before the volume of the liquid-continuing chamber 11 is reduced.

[0068] In some embodiments, a first seal 16 is provided on the side of the first cover plate 131 near the liquid replenishment chamber 11, and the first seal 16 is used to seal the gap between the first cover plate 131 and the liquid replenishment housing 12.

[0069] In some embodiments, a second sealing element 17 is provided between the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132. The second sealing element 17 is used to improve the sealing performance when the first liquid outlet section 141 and the second liquid outlet section 142 are connected.

[0070] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 12 In some embodiments, a connecting track 40 is also provided; when the guide block 15 moves on the connecting track 40, the atomizing mechanism 200 can be connected to the liquid replenishment mechanism 100. This arrangement guides the connection and installation of the liquid replenishment mechanism 100 and the atomizing mechanism 200.

[0071] In some embodiments, the atomizing mechanism 200 includes a third cover plate 23 and a third seal 24, with an insertion port 29 disposed on the third cover plate 23, and the third cover plate 23 and the third seal 24 together defining a liquid storage chamber 26.

[0072] In some embodiments, the third cover plate 23 is further provided with a fourth seal 25 on the side away from the liquid storage chamber 26. The fourth seal 25 is used to improve the sealing performance when the insertion tube 1321 and the insertion interface 29 are connected.

[0073] In some embodiments, the mounting housing 21 has a mounting cavity and an assembly port 22 communicating with the mounting cavity. A third cover plate 23 and a third seal 24 are disposed in the mounting cavity. The liquid replenishment mechanism 100 partially enters the mounting cavity through the assembly port 22 to achieve connection with the atomizing mechanism 200.

[0074] The relative motion between the liquid replenishment mechanism 100 and the atomizing mechanism 200 will be described below.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 12 The connecting track 40 can be referenced from position A to position B. The connecting track 40 is set parallel to the axis of the liquid supply housing 12. During the process of the guide block 15 moving from position A to position B, part of the liquid supply housing 12 enters the installation cavity and aligns with the installation housing 21. Part of the insertion pipe 1321 is inserted into the insertion interface 29. At this time, the first liquid outlet section 141 and the second liquid outlet section 142 are misaligned, and the liquid outlet channel 14 is closed.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 12 The guide rail 30 includes a first guide rail 31, one end of which is connected to the connecting rail 40. The first guide rail 31 is positioned from position B to position C. The first guide rail 31 is perpendicular to the axis of the continuing liquid. During the movement of the guide block 15 from position B to position C, the continuing liquid housing 12 drives the first cover plate 131 to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132 to the initial rotation angle, so that the first outlet section 141 and the second outlet section 142 are relatively connected, and the outlet channel 14 is initially opened.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 12 The guide rail 30 includes a second guide rail 32, one end of which is connected to the end of the first guide rail 31 away from the connecting rail 40. The second guide rail 32 is referenced from position C to position D. The second guide rail 32 extends circumferentially along the liquid-continuing housing 12 and forms an angle with the first guide rail 31. During the movement of the guide block 15 from position C to position D, the liquid-continuing housing 12 drives the first cover plate 131 to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132 to a further rotation angle, so that the first liquid outlet section 141 and the second liquid outlet section 142 are further connected, and the liquid outlet channel 14 changes from a preliminary open state to a further open state. At the same time, the insertion pipe 1321 is inserted into the insertion interface 29 to limit the second cover plate 132 in the axial direction, further allowing the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 to slide relative to the liquid-continuing housing 12 toward the liquid-continuing cavity 11, thereby compressing the volume of the liquid-continuing cavity 11.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 12 The guide rail 30 includes a third guide rail 33, one end of which is connected to the end of the second guide rail 32 away from the first guide rail 31. The third guide rail 33 is positioned from position D to position E. The third guide rail 33 is perpendicular to the axis of the continuing liquid. During the movement of the guide block 15 from position D to position E, the continuing liquid housing 12 drives the first cover plate 131 to rotate relative to the second cover plate 132 to a third rotation angle, so that the first outlet section 141 and the second outlet section 142 are further connected, and the outlet channel 14 changes from a further opened state to a fully opened state.

[0079] Understandably, in these embodiments, the guide block 15 can move in the opposite direction from position E to position A. The specific movement process can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that during the reverse movement, the liquid replenishment mechanism 100 and the atomizing mechanism 200 can be separated by increasing the force or even destroying the corresponding limiting structure.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first rotation angle is 20°, the second rotation angle is 20°, and the third rotation angle is 6°.

[0081] Some embodiments of this application also provide an atomizing device 1000, including a liquid replenishing mechanism 100 and an atomizing mechanism 200 independent of the liquid replenishing mechanism 100; the liquid replenishing mechanism 100 includes a first housing assembly 10, which has a liquid replenishing chamber 11 for containing a liquid matrix, and a liquid outlet channel 14 in a closed state on the first housing assembly 10; the atomizing mechanism 200 includes a second housing assembly 20, which has a liquid storage chamber 26 for containing a liquid matrix and an atomizing core 27 for atomizing the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol, and the second housing assembly 20 has a liquid storage chamber 26 connected to the liquid storage chamber 26. The system includes a 6-connected inlet channel 28; wherein, one of the first housing assembly 10 and the second housing assembly 20 is provided with a guide block 15, and the other is provided with a connecting rail 40 and a guide rail 30; when the guide block 15 moves on the connecting rail 40, the outlet channel 14 can dock with the inlet channel 28; when the guide block 15 moves further on the guide rail 30, it can first open at least part of the outlet channel 14 so that the refill chamber 11 can communicate with the storage chamber 26, and after opening at least part of the outlet channel 14, it can compress the volume of the refill chamber 11, thereby promoting the flow of the liquid matrix in the refill chamber 11 into the storage chamber 26.

[0082] Some embodiments of this application also provide a liquid replenishment mechanism 100, which includes a liquid replenishment housing 12 and a cover plate 13. The liquid replenishment housing 12 has a liquid replenishment cavity 11 for containing a liquid matrix. The cover plate 13 is disposed on the liquid replenishment housing 12 and includes a first cover plate 131 and a second cover plate 132. The first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 are provided with a liquid outlet channel 14 in a closed state. The first cover plate 131 can rotate relative to the second cover plate 132 to open at least part of the liquid outlet channel 14 to connect the liquid replenishment cavity 11. After opening at least part of the liquid outlet channel 14, the first cover plate 131 and the second cover plate 132 can slide relative to the liquid replenishment housing 12 toward the liquid replenishment cavity 11 to compress the volume of the liquid replenishment cavity 11, thereby promoting the liquid matrix in the liquid replenishment cavity 11 to flow out through the liquid outlet channel 14.

[0083] In these embodiments, the first cover plate 131 can rotate relative to the second cover plate 132. This can be either the first cover plate 131 rotating while the second cover plate 132 remains relatively stationary, or the second cover plate 132 rotating while the first cover plate 131 remains relatively stationary.

[0084] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
