[0004] However, the structural design of the above-mentioned atomization device cannot achieve the purpose of storing the liquid separately and sealing it. The oil will come into contact with the outside air. Since the storage of the oil is not under completely sealed conditions, there is not only the hidden danger of leakage, but it is also easily disturbed by the external environment such as air pressure, temperature and humidity, affecting the storage stability of the oil.

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Among existing atomizer products, common applications on the market include electronic cigarette atomizers and aromatherapy atomizers. Traditional atomizers have the oil loading and heating structures designed directly into the atomizer's storage chamber. The oil flows from the periphery of the central air outlet pipe into the heating chamber. After the oil is atomized in the heating chamber, the atomized product is discharged through the central air outlet pipe. The structural design of existing atomizers cannot achieve a sealed storage system for the liquid, allowing the oil to come into contact with the outside air. Since the oil storage is not completely sealed, there is not only a risk of leakage, but it is also easily affected by external environmental factors such as air pressure, temperature, and humidity, affecting the storage stability of the oil.

[0027] In order to ensure the stability of the oil, mainly to ensure that the chemical properties of the oil are not affected, this application structurally transforms the existing atomization device and stores the oil by setting up a separate storage space. Since the oil is stored in a separate sealed environment before use, it will not be disturbed by external environmental factors, effectively ensuring the chemical stability of the oil and avoiding the risk of oil leakage.

[0028] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application introduces the structure of the atomizing device in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the atomizing device for gas-liquid separation provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the atomizing device for gas-liquid separation provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 shows an exploded view of the atomizing device for gas-liquid separation provided in the embodiment of the present application; and Figure 4 shows a gas-liquid separation flow diagram of the atomizing device for gas-liquid separation provided in the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the embodiment of the present application provides an atomizing device for gas-liquid separation, which includes a shell 5, a nozzle body 1, an atomizing assembly and a storage assembly. For the convenience of observation, the embodiment of the present application describes the structure of the atomizing device in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the shell 5 is provided with a top and a bottom end relative to each other along its own axial direction. The top and the bottom end of the shell 5 are connected to form an internal mounting cavity. The nozzle body 1 is provided at the top end of the shell 5, and its side end is connected to the inner side wall of the shell 5. The end of the nozzle body 1 away from the top end of the shell 5 is provided with an air inlet 102, and the end of the nozzle body 1 close to the top end of the shell 5 is provided with a first channel 100; the atomizing assembly is provided in the mounting cavity of the shell 5 and close to the bottom end of the shell 5, and the outer wall of the atomizing assembly and the inner wall of the shell 5 are provided with A gap is formed to form a third channel 300; the storage component is arranged in the installation cavity of the shell 5 and is located at the upper end of the atomization component, and a gap is provided between the outer wall of the storage component and the inner wall of the shell 5 to form a second channel 200, and the first channel 100, the second channel 200 and the third channel 300 are all connected to form an annular air guide channel between the shell 5 and the mouthpiece 1, the atomization component and the storage component; wherein, the storage component is used to store oil, and the storage component is sealed and connected to the atomization component so that the oil flows from the storage component to the atomization component, and the atomization component is used to atomize the oil to form an atomizer. When air is inhaled through the air inlet 102, the atomizer flows through the air guide channel formed by the third channel 300, the second channel 200 and the first channel 100 in sequence, and flows out from the air inlet 102.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2, the nozzle body 1 provided in the present application can be connected to the shell 5 in a snap-fit ​​connection. The nozzle body 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion on one side of the bottom end, and the shell 5 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove on the inner wall. The snap-fit ​​portion is snap-fitted to the snap-fit ​​groove. The nozzle body 1 and the shell 5 are connected in this way so that either the shell 5 or the nozzle body 1 can be disassembled at any time, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the atomizing device at any time, and the internal oil can be replaced at any time.

[0030] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art can set the connection method between the nozzle body 1 and the shell 5 according to actual conditions, such as: threaded connection, plug-in connection, etc., as long as the detachable connection between the nozzle body 1 and the shell 5 can be guaranteed. Therefore, such adjustment and change of the connection method between the nozzle body 1 and the shell 5 does not deviate from the principle and scope of this application, and should be limited within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that in actual application, the housing 5 can preferably be made of a stainless steel tube. Of course, the housing 5 can also be made of other materials. A hardware connection socket for installation and connection is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the housing 5 to facilitate the installation of structures such as the atomizer.

[0032] In an optional example of the present application, the storage component for sealed storage of oil includes a storage tank 2. The storage tank 2 serves as the main component for storing oil. One end of the storage tank 2 close to the atomization component abuts against the upper end surface of the atomization component, and there is no gap between the two when they abut. In this way, a sealed connection between the storage tank 2 and the atomization component can be achieved to prevent the oil from contacting the outside world.

[0033] Preferably, in order to ensure the sealing effect described above, the storage component provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a sealing diaphragm 3, which is located between the storage tank and the atomization component and is sleeved on the storage tank 2. The atomization component is provided with a heating metal warehouse 6, and the storage tank 2 is abutted against the heating metal warehouse 6. The heating metal warehouse 6 is provided with a needle 601 facing the storage tank 2. The needle 601 pierces the sealing diaphragm 3 and enters the storage tank 2. The storage tank 2 only transports oil to the atomization component through the needle 601 for atomization.

[0034] It should be noted that a rubber plug may be provided on one side of the sealing diaphragm 3 , and the sealing diaphragm 3 and the rubber plug may be an integrated structure, so as to facilitate the simultaneous installation of the sealing diaphragm 3 and the rubber plug.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the needle 601 is shaped like a convex, hollow, sharp needle 601. This facilitates piercing the sealing membrane 3 covering the storage tank 2. Racetrack-shaped holes are provided on either side of the needle 601 to facilitate the flow of liquid into the heated metal chamber 6. The bottom of the needle 601 has a flat surface to facilitate sealing with the sealing membrane 3 on the storage tank 2. In other words, the bottom flat surface of the needle 601 completely abuts the bottom end of the storage tank 2, sandwiching the sealing membrane 3 and ensuring a complete seal.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present application, the sealing diaphragm 3 of the storage tank 2 is provided with a concave shape to facilitate the precise positioning and piercing connection of the needle 601 of the heating metal bin 6 .

[0037] Preferably, the storage assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a fastening ring 4, which is arranged at the abutment portion of the storage tank 2 and the heating metal bin 6 to fasten the storage tank 2 and the heating metal bin 6. As shown in Figure 2, the ring is sleeved between the two to ensure that there is no gap between the heating metal bin 6 and the storage tank 2. Therefore, the outflow path of the oil is only from the needle 601 into the heating metal bin 6 of the atomization assembly.

[0038] Preferably, the atomizing assembly includes an atomizer 9, which is connected to the heated metal bin 6. The atomizer 9 is arranged near the bottom end of the shell 5, and a gap is provided between the atomizer 9 and the bottom end of the shell 5 to allow the atomized liquid to flow out.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the heating metal bin 6 is also provided with a metal bin sealing silicone ring 7 at the connection end with the atomizer 9 to ensure a sealed connection between the heating metal bin 6 and the atomizer 9 .

[0040] In an optional example, the atomizer 9 is a micro-nano pore structure.

[0041] Furthermore, the atomizing assembly further includes a heating wire 10 , which is disposed at the bottom of the atomizer 9 .

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the heating wire 10 is a loop-shaped structure. Through such a configuration, the oil in the atomizer 9 can be heated with a maximum contact area.

[0043] Furthermore, the atomizer assembly also includes an atomizer sealing silicone ring 8, which is arranged on the atomizer 9 to seal the atomizer 9.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, as described above, the atomization assembly comprises a heating metal chamber 6, an atomizer 9, a heating wire 10, and a sealing silicone ring. The chamber is a micro-nano porous ceramic structure. The micro-nano pores allow liquid to penetrate but not flow out. Liquid enters the ceramic micro-nano pores through the permeation. After the heating chamber is heated, it atomizes. Under the influence of the suction force of the human mouth, the atomized material flows only toward the mouth (inhalation port 102).

[0045] In an optional example, the atomization device provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a connector 11 , which is disposed at the bottom end of the shell 5 , and a through hole is disposed at the side end of the connector 11 to allow external gas to be replenished into the shell 5 .

[0046] Preferably, the connector 11 is provided with a tail plug 13 at the bottom end to seal the connector 11 , and is sealed by a connector sealing silicone ring 12 .

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the connector 11 may be connected to the aforementioned heating wire 10 , and the heating wire 10 is connected to an external power source via the connector 11 to turn on the heating wire 10 .

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the connector 11 is at the bottom of the atomizing device and is in the shape of a base. The connector 11 contains M10 internal threads and M12 external threads. Because the connector 11 needs to be connected to an external power supply, in order to effectively reduce static electricity, the connector 11 is provided with an insulating ring at the electrode, and a silicone ring is provided on the insulating ring. The connector 11 can be connected to the above-mentioned shell 5 through the silicone ring, thereby achieving effective sealing.

[0049] The flow of liquid and gas inside the atomizer provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 4, with the large arrow representing the flow of liquid and the small arrow representing the flow of gas. After the mouthpiece 1 and the housing 5 are snap-fitted together, the sealing diaphragm 3 is pierced by the hollow needle 601 of the heated metal bin 6, and the liquid flows downward into the atomizer 9 and presses against the heated metal bin 6 at the bottom of the storage tank 2. The heated metal bin 6 is tightly connected to the sealing diaphragm 3 to form a sealed environment. A heating wire 10 is provided at the bottom of the atomizer 9. After being heated by the heating wire 10, the liquid entering the atomizer 9 is atomized. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece 1, a negative pressure is formed in the housing 5. The atomized atomized material seeps through the special micro-nanopore structure of the atomizer 9 and flows through the third channel 300, the second channel 200 and the first channel 100, and flows out from the air inlet 102 of the mouthpiece 1. External air enters the interior through the air inlet channel of the connector 11 to replenish, forming an atomizer in which liquid flows from the intermediate storage tank 2 into the oil and the atomized material is exhausted from all sides.

[0050] According to the atomizing device for gas-liquid separation provided in the embodiment of the present application, a storage component is provided to separately store the oil, so that the liquid is stored separately and sealed in the storage component, thereby preventing oil leakage and improving the storage stability of the oil. In addition, during use, the atomizing component is provided to atomize the oil. After the atomized material is generated, the present application provides a corresponding channel for the atomized material to flow, and the atomized material is sucked out by the suction force of the air inlet, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation, broadening the application scenarios of the atomizing device for gas-liquid separation.

[0051] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application ensures the sealing between the storage component and the atomization component through a tight structural setting, and provides a sealing diaphragm and a fastening ring between the storage tank and the heated metal warehouse for further connection, thereby ensuring that the oil cannot come into contact with the outside world before use, effectively ensuring the chemical stability of the oil, and avoiding the risk of oil leakage.
