[0004] Atomizing devices require an airflow channel.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the application.

[0050] This application provides an atomizing device to solve the problem of air mixing with the odor from the heating element in the internal flow channel of the atomizing device.

[0051] The following description, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 12, describes an atomizing device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1, this application provides an atomizing device 100, which includes a housing 10. Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the housing 10 is provided with an atomizing component 20, an atomizing airway component 30, and a power supply 40.

[0053] For example, referring to FIG3, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a first atomizing element 211, a first atomizing chamber 212, a second atomizing element 221, and a second atomizing chamber 222. The first atomizing chamber 212 and the second atomizing chamber 222 are isolated from each other and are used to store aerosol matrices of different flavors. The first atomizing element 211 is located inside the first atomizing chamber 212 and is used to atomize the aerosol matrices inside the first atomizing chamber 212. The second atomizing element 221 is located inside the second atomizing chamber 222 and is used to atomize the flavored aerosol matrices inside the second atomizing chamber 222.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the atomizing assembly 20 further includes a first atomizing airway 213 and a second atomizing airway 223. For example, the first atomizing chamber 212 is provided with the first atomizing airway 213, and the first atomizing element 211 is located within the first atomizing airway 213, so that a portion of the flowing air mixes with the atomized aerosol matrix in the first atomizing airway 213. The second atomizing chamber 222 is provided with the second atomizing airway 223, and the second atomizing element 221 is located within the second atomizing airway 223, so that a portion of the flowing air mixes with the atomized flavor aerosol matrix in the second atomizing airway 223.

[0055] Based on this, the atomizing assembly 20 may also include a first liquid reservoir 214 and a second liquid reservoir 224. The first liquid reservoir 214 is located within the first atomizing chamber 212 and is used to absorb and fix the liquid aerosol matrix to prevent it from scattering and flowing. The second liquid reservoir 224 is located within the second atomizing chamber 222 and is used to absorb and fix the liquid flavor aerosol matrix to prevent it from scattering and flowing.

[0056] The first atomizing airway 213 can be formed by either the first atomizing chamber 212 or the first liquid storage component 214. Correspondingly, the second atomizing airway 223 can be formed by either the second atomizing chamber 222 or the second liquid storage component 224. No limitation is imposed in this regard.

[0057] In some embodiments, the housing 10 can be a split component. As shown in FIG2, the housing 10 includes a main housing 11 and a secondary housing 12. The main housing 11 and the secondary housing 12 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​structure or bolt-threaded hole, and form a mounting cavity 13. The atomizing assembly 20 and the atomizing airway assembly 30 (i.e., airway component 31, battery cell bracket 32, sealing ring 33, liquid tank seal 34, first liquid suction component 35, second liquid suction component 36, and air pressure switch 37) are all located in the mounting cavity 13, which facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0058] As shown in Figure 2, an air inlet 14 can be formed at the bottom of the main housing 11 as the air inlet of the atomizing airway assembly 30. In some embodiments, the air inlet 14 can also be formed on the side wall of the main housing 11 or the sub-housing 12, which is not limited. The flowing air and the atomized aerosol matrix are fully mixed and flow to a preset position, such as flowing out of the atomizing device 100 for use.

[0059] In some embodiments, the housing 10 can also be configured as a single-piece component, which provides better structural stability and avoids mechanical failures or safety accidents caused by unauthorized disassembly.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the atomizing device 100 further includes a power supply 40. The power supply 40 is used to supply power to electronic components within the atomizing device 100, such as the first atomizing element 211 and the second atomizing element 221. Exemplarily, the power supply 40 may be a battery cell structure such as a lithium battery, lead-acid battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, or zinc-manganese battery.

[0061] Since miniature or handheld atomizing devices are independently powered by their internal battery cells, and the battery cells, including the power supply unit, are supported and fixed inside the casing by a battery cell bracket, when an airflow channel is designed inside the casing, the relevant solutions enclose part or all of the airflow channel with the battery cell bracket and the inner wall of the casing.

[0062] However, the aforementioned airflow channel design can cause airflow to pass near the battery cell support, including the power supply unit and other battery cell structures. Since the power supply unit generates its own heat during atomization, this heat will further heat the air flowing into the atomization chamber, causing the air to become mixed with a heated odor.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the atomizing airway assembly 30 includes an airway component 31 and a battery cell support 32. The airway component 31 is provided with a first air inlet 311 and a second air inlet 312, and the battery cell support 32 is provided with a support airway 321 inside. The battery cell support 32 is fixedly connected to the airway component 31, and the support airway 321 is configured to communicate with the first air inlet 311 and the second air inlet 312.

[0064] In some embodiments, the support air passage 321 is connected to the first atomizing element 211 via the first air inlet 311, and the support air passage 321 is connected to the second atomizing element 221 via the second air inlet 312. For example, the first air inlet 311 is connected to the first atomizing air passage 213, and the second air inlet 312 is connected to the second atomizing air passage 223.

[0065] Compared to related solutions where the airflow channel is formed by the battery holder and the housing, this design features an independent support airway 321 within the battery holder 32. This allows air to flow through the support airway 321 to the atomizing assembly 20 within the housing 10 of the atomizing device 100. During this process, the air does not need to contact the battery structure, such as the power supply 40, thus preventing the heat-generating power supply from heating the air flowing into the atomizing chamber and avoiding the mixing of heated odors with the air. This improves the airflow quality of the atomizing device 100, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0066] The first air inlet 311 and the second air inlet 312 are provided through the air passage 31. When the atomizing assembly 20 includes a first atomizing element 211 and a second atomizing element 221, the first air inlet 311 can independently supply air to the first atomizing element 211, and the second air inlet 312 can independently supply air to the second atomizing element 221, so that the atomizing assembly 20 maintains a stable flavor (such as aerosol concentration).

[0067] Furthermore, the battery cell bracket 32, which forms the internal support air passage 321, can be manufactured by methods such as casting, cutting, or hollowing. During the processing and assembly of the battery cell bracket 32, processing errors and assembly errors will not affect the airtightness of the support air passage 321 itself. A stable and well-sealed air passage is beneficial to improving the flow rate and stability of the atomizing air passage assembly. Based on this, by setting an independent support air passage 321 inside the battery cell bracket 32, the battery cell bracket 32 ​​does not need to rely on complex connection and sealing structures to enhance the airtightness of the installation with the housing. It is only necessary to install a finished battery cell bracket 32 ​​in a preset position within the housing 10. This reduces the number of parts and significantly simplifies the installation process of the battery cell bracket 32, thereby improving the production efficiency of the atomizing air passage assembly 30.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the cell support 32 is provided with a supporting curved surface (outer curved surface structure) 325, which supports the cell. In some embodiments, the supporting curved surface 325 contacts and supports the sidewall of the cell, such as the power supply 40 (as shown in FIG2).

[0069] In some embodiments, the battery cells of the power supply 40 are generally cylindrical battery structures, such as lithium batteries. By setting the sidewall of the battery cell support 32 as a supporting curved surface 325, it can contact or even fit against the sidewall of the cylindrical battery, thereby achieving support and fixation of the battery cell structure. This helps to reduce the space occupied by the battery cell and other fixed structures, and simplifies the structure of the battery cell support 32.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the air passage component 31 is provided with a first insertion portion 313, and the battery cell support 32 is provided with a second insertion portion 322. The first insertion portion 313 and the second insertion portion 322 are inserted and adapted to each other so that the battery cell support 32 is inserted and fixedly installed with the air passage component 31. The battery cell support 32 and the air passage component 31 are fixedly connected by insertion, which facilitates the assembly and connection of the atomizing air passage assembly 30 and provides a high connection strength between the air passage component 31 and the battery cell 32 after insertion.

[0071] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, "fixed connection" only indicates that multiple components have high connection strength and a stable connection structure after being connected. The connection method of the fixed connection can be a detachable or non-detachable connection method such as plug-in or snap-fit. For example, two components can also be fixedly connected by the cooperation of screws and threaded holes, and there is no limitation on this.

[0072] The first plug-in part 313 can be a slot structure provided on the air inlet side of the air duct 31, and the corresponding second plug-in part 322 can be a plug-in structure provided on the air outlet side of the cell bracket 32.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the air passage component 31 has a bracket slot 314 on the first insertion portion 313. The bracket slot 314 has a first air inlet hole 311 and a second air inlet hole 312. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the end of the bracket air passage 321 away from the air passage component 31 is the air inlet hole 3212. The second insertion portion 322 has an air outlet hole 3211, which is the air outlet side of the bracket air passage 321. The air outlet hole 3211 communicates with the bracket slot 314.

[0074] Thus, when the second connector 322 is inserted into the bracket slot 314 of the first connector 313, the bracket air passage 321 is connected to the bracket slot 314 through the air outlet hole 3211. The first air inlet hole 311 and the second air inlet hole 312 provided at the bracket slot 314 are connected to the bracket air passage 321 through the air outlet hole 3211 to form a flow channel connecting the atomizing assembly 20 (as shown in Figure 3).

[0075] As shown in Figures 5 and 8, the cell support 32 and the air duct component 31 are inserted into each other along the X direction. Taking the depth direction of the support slot 314 as an example, the support slot 314 can be a through-hole structure in its depth direction, that is, both ends of the support slot 314 in the X direction are conductive. Alternatively, the support slot 314 can be a blind hole structure in its depth direction. That is, along the X direction, the end of the support slot 314 near the cell support 32 is a conductive opening, and the end of the support slot 314 away from the cell support 321 is a bottom wall structure and is closed.

[0076] Taking the bracket slot 314 as an example, which is a blind hole structure as shown in Figures 5, 7 and 8, there is a gap between the bottom of the bracket slot 314 away from the cell bracket 32 ​​and the second insertion part 322 (as shown in Figure 6) along the X direction, so that the airflow can flow smoothly between the first air inlet hole 311, the second air inlet hole 312 and the bracket air passage 321 through the bottom gap of the bracket slot 314.

[0077] At this point, the first air inlet 311 and the second air inlet 312 can be disposed on the side wall of the bracket slot 314 perpendicular to the X direction, or they can be disposed on the bottom wall of the bracket slot 314; there is no limitation on which they are disposed on. Furthermore, the bracket slot 314 with a blind hole structure does not require sealing at the bottom wall, resulting in a simple structure. The blind hole structure also ensures good airtightness at the bottom of the bracket slot 314.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the bracket slot 314 can also be configured as a through-hole structure along the X direction. In this case, the first air inlet hole 311 and the second air inlet hole 312 are disposed on the side wall of the bracket slot 314 perpendicular to the X direction, which also allows the bracket air passage 321 to connect the first air inlet hole 311 and the second air inlet hole 312 through the bracket slot 314. However, the side of the air passage component 31 away from the cell bracket 32 ​​along the X direction needs to be fitted with a sealing structure such as a liquid tank seal to seal the end of the bracket slot 314 away from the cell bracket 32, which is not limited.

[0079] In some embodiments, a plug-in structure may be provided on the air inlet side of the air duct component 31, and a second plug-in portion 322 with a slot structure may be provided on the air outlet side of the cell support 32. In this way, the first plug-in portion 313 is inserted into the second plug-in portion 322, which also enables the support air duct 321 in the cell support 32 to be connected to the air duct component 31 for connecting the atomizing assembly 20.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11, the atomizing airway assembly 30 further includes a sealing ring 33. Referring to FIG12, the sealing ring 33 is disposed between the first insertion portion 313 and the second insertion portion 322 to improve the airtightness between the cell support 32 and the airway component 31.

[0081] In some embodiments, the sealing ring 33 may be made of flexible materials or cushioning materials such as rubber, silicone, silicone rubber or soft plastic, so that the sealing ring 33 can be squeezed and installed between the first insertion part 313 and the second insertion part 322, and provide a better airtightness effect.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, at the second insertion portion 322, the cell support 32 is provided with a positioning ring groove 323 (that is, the second insertion portion 322 of the cell support 32 is provided with a positioning ring groove 323), and the sealing ring 33 is positioned and installed in the positioning ring groove 323.

[0083] Thus, during the insertion and installation of the first insertion part 313 and the second insertion part 322, the sealing ring 33 installed in the positioning ring groove 323 can stably insert and cooperate with the second insertion part 322 and the first insertion part 313 and be in a compressed state, thus providing a better airtightness effect.

[0084] It should be noted that, taking the first insertion part 313 having a bracket slot 314 as an example, the positioning ring groove 323 provided at the second insertion part 322 can be located on the outer side of the second insertion part 322 away from the bracket air passage 321.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, the air duct component 31 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 315 at the first insertion portion 313. Referring to Figures 6, 11, and 12, the cell support 32 has a second snap-fit ​​portion 324 at the second insertion portion 322. The first snap-fit ​​portion 315 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 324 are snap-fitted together to allow the cell support 32 to be snap-fitted and installed with the air duct component 31.

[0086] In this way, the cell support 32 and the air duct component 31 can be connected and installed by snap-fit, which facilitates the detachable connection between the cell support 32 and the air duct component 31. Furthermore, no additional screws or other connecting structures are required, making it simple and convenient.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 12, a first engaging portion 315 with a slot structure can be provided at the first insertion portion 313, and a second engaging portion 324 with a hook structure can be provided at the second insertion portion 322. Taking the second insertion portion 322 inserted into the bracket slot 314 shown in Figure 7 as an example, during the insertion of the second insertion portion 322 into the bracket slot 314, the second engaging portion 324 is also positioned close to the first engaging portion 315. When the second insertion portion 322 is inserted into the preset position of the bracket slot 314, the first engaging portion 315 and the second engaging portion 324 engage accordingly.

[0088] The sealing ring 33, which is pressed and installed between the first plug-in part 313 and the second plug-in part 322, ensures a stable connection between the battery cell bracket 32 ​​and the air passage component 31, and provides good airtightness.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​portion 315 may be a snap hook structure, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 324 may be a snap groove structure corresponding to the snap hook structure, which can also be used for snap-fit ​​installation between the battery cell bracket 32 ​​and the air passage component 31.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​portion 315 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 324 may be configured as corresponding snap-hook structures, which may also be used for snap-fit ​​installation between the battery cell bracket 32 ​​and the air passage component 31.

[0091] When both the positioning ring groove 323 and the second snap-fit ​​part 324 are provided at the second insertion part 322, the positioning ring groove 323 can be located on the side of the second snap-fit ​​part 324 closer to the air passage component 31 in the X direction. That is, the positioning ring groove 323 is set closer to the air outlet side of the bracket air passage 321 than the second snap-fit ​​part 324, thereby avoiding the first snap-fit ​​part 315 of the slot structure from affecting the sealing connection effect between the cell bracket 32 ​​and the air passage component 31.

[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the atomizing airway assembly 30 further includes a liquid tank seal 34, and an airway component 31 is disposed between the liquid tank seal 34 and the battery cell support 32. Referring to Figure 11, the airway component 31 and the liquid tank seal 34 enclose a first air inlet chamber 316 and a second air inlet chamber 317, which are separated and not interconnected. The first air inlet chamber 316 communicates with a first air inlet hole 311, and the second air inlet chamber 317 communicates with a second air inlet hole 312.

[0093] In some embodiments, a first air inlet chamber 316 and a second air inlet chamber 317 are formed between the air passage component 31 and the liquid tank seal component 34, and the first air inlet chamber 316 is connected to the first air inlet hole 311.

[0094] In some embodiments, a first air inlet chamber 316 and a second air inlet chamber 317 are formed between the air passage member 31 and the liquid tank seal member 34, and the second air inlet chamber 317 is connected to the second air inlet hole 312.

[0095] By providing a separate and non-communicating first air inlet chamber 316 and second air inlet chamber 317 between the air duct component 31 and the liquid tank seal 34, and by connecting the first air inlet chamber 316 to the first air inlet hole 311 and the second air inlet chamber 317 to the second air inlet hole 312, the atomizing air duct assembly 30 can independently supply air to the first atomizing element 211 and the second atomizing element 221 within the atomizing device 100 through the first air inlet chamber 316 and the second air inlet chamber 317. This avoids mutual interference between the first atomizing element 211 and the second atomizing element 221 during the atomization process, facilitates independent control of the atomization power of the first atomizing element 211 and the second atomizing element 221, and provides a better atomization mixing effect and user experience. Furthermore, by providing the liquid tank seal 34, the flow channel from the first air inlet 311 to the first air inlet chamber 316 can have good airtightness, and the flow channel from the second air inlet 312 to the second air inlet chamber 317 can also have good airtightness.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11, the atomizing airway assembly 30 further includes a first liquid-absorbing element 35 and a second liquid-absorbing element 36. A first groove 3181 is provided between the liquid tank seal 34 and the airway component, the first liquid-absorbing element 35 is located in the first groove 3181, and the first groove 3181 is connected to the first air inlet chamber 316. A second groove 3182 is provided between the liquid tank seal 34 and the airway component 31, the second liquid-absorbing element 36 is located in the second groove 3182, and the second groove 3182 is connected to the second air inlet chamber 317.

[0097] It should be noted that the first air intake chamber 316 is used to connect the first atomizing element 211 and the first atomizing air passage 213. The second air intake chamber 317 is used to connect the second atomizing element 221 and the second atomizing air passage 223.

[0098] Along the X direction, since the atomizing assembly 20 is disposed above the first air intake chamber 316 and the second air intake chamber 317, during the atomization of the aerosol matrix by the first atomizing element 211 and the second atomizing element 221, some of the aerosol matrix will flow towards the air passage 31 and into the first air intake chamber 316 and the second air intake chamber 317 under the action of gravity. By providing the first groove 3181 and the second groove 3182, the aerosol matrix flowing into the first air intake chamber 316 and the second air intake chamber 317 can be collected to prevent the aerosol matrix from seeping everywhere.

[0099] Specifically, by providing a first liquid-absorbing element 35 in the first groove 3181 and a second liquid-absorbing element 36 in the second groove 3182, the collected liquid aerosol matrix can achieve better absorption and storage effects. That is, the liquid aerosol matrix can be absorbed into the first liquid-absorbing element 35 and the second liquid-absorbing element 36 through capillary action, physical adsorption, or chemical adsorption for fixed storage, thus preventing the liquid aerosol matrix from seeping out.

[0100] The first groove 3181, the first liquid suction element 35, the second groove 3182, and the second liquid suction element 36 can be flexibly arranged between the air passage element 31 and the liquid tank seal element 34 as needed, and there is no limitation thereto. For example, the first groove 3181 and the first liquid suction element 35 can be configured alone, or the second groove 3182 and the second liquid suction element 36 can be configured alone, or the first groove 3181, the first liquid suction element 35, the second groove 3182, and the second liquid suction element 36 can be configured simultaneously.

[0101] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 9, the second air inlet chamber 317 and the second groove 3182 located on the air duct component 31 can be partially or completely overlapped (i.e., at least partially overlapped), which helps to save space. This allows for the installation of a groove structure for mounting a microphone on the other side of the air duct component 31.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the atomizing assembly 20 includes a first atomizing airway 213 and a second atomizing airway 223. Referring to FIGS. 11 and 13, the liquid tank seal 34 is provided with a first liquid tank through hole 341 corresponding to the first atomizing airway 213, and the first atomizing airway 213 is connected to the first air inlet chamber 316 through the first liquid tank through hole 341. The liquid tank seal 34 is also provided with a second liquid tank through hole 342 corresponding to the second atomizing airway 223, and the second atomizing airway 223 is connected to the second air inlet chamber 317 through the second liquid tank through hole 342.

[0103] Based on this, during the operation of the atomizing device 100, when the air in the support airway 321 flows to the support slot 314 through the air outlet 3211, the air exiting the support slot 314 is split through the first air inlet 311 and the second air inlet 312. Part of the air flows sequentially through the first air inlet 311, the first air inlet chamber 316, the first liquid tank throughlet 341, and the first atomizing airway 213, and mixes with the atomized aerosol matrix within the first atomizing airway 213 before flowing out from the nozzle of the atomizing device 100. The other part of the air flows sequentially through the second air inlet 312, the second air inlet chamber 317, the second liquid tank throughlet 342, and the second atomizing airway 223, and mixes with the atomized flavor aerosol matrix within the second atomizing airway 223 before flowing out from the nozzle of the atomizing device 100.

[0104] The two types of air flowing from the first atomizing airway 213 and the second atomizing airway 223 are thoroughly mixed near the mouthpiece, ensuring that the atomized aerosol matrix is ​​fully mixed with the air and that the two different flavored aerosol matrices are evenly mixed. The flavored aerosol matrix is ​​used to improve the taste to meet different user needs.

[0105] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 9, the air passage 31 is provided with a first lead wire through hole 3191 and a second lead wire through hole 3192. Referring to Figures 9 and 11, the first lead wire through hole 3191 communicates with the first air intake chamber 316, and the second lead wire through hole 3192 communicates with the second air intake chamber 317.

[0106] Along the X direction, an aerosol generator with an electrically driven structure is provided on the side of the air passage component 31 and the liquid tank seal 34 away from the cell support 32, and the power supply 40 is located at the cell support 32 on the other side of the air passage component 31 and the liquid tank seal 34. Thus, wires can be passed through the first lead through hole 3191, the first air inlet chamber 316, and the first liquid tank through hole 341, and used for electrical connection between the first atomizing element 211 and the power supply 40. Wires can also be passed through the second lead through hole 3192, the second air inlet chamber 317, and the second liquid tank through hole 342, and used for electrical connection between the second atomizing element 221 and the power supply 40.

[0107] After the wires for the above electrical connection are installed, the first lead through hole 3191 and the second lead through hole 3192 can be sealed by means of heat melting, wax sealing or plastic sealing to prevent the aerosol matrix on the upper side of the air passage 31 from flowing to the power supply 40 and the circuit board through the first lead through hole 3191 and the second lead through hole 3192.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11, the atomizing airway assembly 30 further includes a pressure switch 37. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 9, the airway component 31 is provided with a sensing through hole 3193, one end of which is connected to the first air inlet chamber 316 or the second air inlet chamber 317. In some embodiments, on the side of the airway component 31 near the cell support 32, the airway component 31 is also provided with a third groove 3183, one end of which is located within the third groove 3183, and the pressure switch 37 is located within the third groove 3183. In some embodiments, on the side of the airway component 31 near the liquid tank seal 34, the airway component 31 is also provided with a third groove 3183, one end of which is located within the third groove 3183, and the pressure switch 37 is located within the third groove 3183.

[0109] Based on this, at the sensing through-hole 3193, along the X direction, a pressure switch 37 (such as a microphone) can be installed on the side of the air passage 31 near the liquid tank seal 34 or the battery cell bracket 32. When some air flows through the sensing through-hole 3193 to the first air inlet chamber 316 or the second air inlet chamber 317, and passes through the pressure switch 37 in the process, the pressure switch 37 can sense the air flow and thus control the first atomizing element 211 and the second atomizing element 221 to be energized and operated to atomize the aerosol matrix.

[0110] In addition, as shown in Figures 4 and 11, the atomizing airway assembly 30 may also include at least one of a support seal 38 and an air regulating valve 39.

[0111] The bracket seal 38 fills the inlet side of the bracket air passage 321 in the cell bracket 32, partially sealing the inlet side of the bracket air passage 321. Furthermore, the bracket seal 38 can also seal itself against the inlet side of the bracket air passage 321. It can also be used for airtight connection of the bracket air passage 321 to other structures on the inlet side, without limitation.

[0112] An air regulating valve 39 is located between the inlet side of the support air passage 321 of the battery cell support 32 and the air inlet 14 (as shown in Figure 2). The air regulating valve 39 is used to adjust the air intake of the support air passage 321.

[0113] The atomizing airway assembly 30 in this embodiment can be applied to the atomizing device 100, or to other atomizing devices or equipment that requires an airway component, without limitation. Some or all of the components of the atomizing airway assembly 30, such as the airway component 31, the battery cell bracket 32, the sealing ring 33, the liquid tank seal 34, the first liquid suction component 35, the second liquid suction component 36, the pressure switch 37, the bracket seal 38, and the air regulating valve 39, can also be considered as part of the atomizing device 100.

[0114] The above examples illustrate this application only to aid understanding and are not intended to limit its scope. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented. Industrial applicability

[0115] In the atomizing device disclosed in this application, the battery cell bracket has an independently formed bracket air channel inside. Within the housing of the atomizing device, air can flow to the atomizing components through this bracket air channel. During this process, the air does not need to contact the battery cell structure, such as the power supply, thus avoiding the heating of the air flowing into the atomizing chamber by the heating power supply and preventing the air from being mixed with heated odors. This improves the air quality of the atomizing device and enhances the user experience. Furthermore, the battery cell bracket does not require complex connection and sealing structures to increase airtightness with the housing; a pre-fabricated battery cell bracket is simply installed in a preset position within the housing. This reduces the number of parts and significantly simplifies the installation process, improving the production efficiency of the atomizing air channel components. Additionally, the first and second air inlets provided in the air channel components allow for independent air supply to the first and second atomizing components, maintaining a stable flavor profile for the atomizing components.
