As shown in fig. 1, the electronic atomizing device in the first embodiment of the present invention may include an atomizer 1, a main unit 2, and a liquid storage unit 3. Wherein the liquid storage unit 3 is for storing an atomized liquid and is capable of supplying the atomized liquid to the atomizer 1. The host 2 can supply power to the atomizer 1 and can control the operation of the entire electronic atomizer. The atomizer 1 is used for atomizing atomized liquid into aerosol after being electrified and outputting the aerosol for a user to inhale. In this embodiment, the electronic atomizing device is substantially rectangular and columnar. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the electronic atomizing device is not limited to being rectangular, but may be cylindrical, oval, flat, etc.
As shown in fig. 2-3, the reservoir unit 3 may be removably disposed in the housing 21 of the main unit 2 for replacement after the use of the atomized liquid. In this embodiment, the liquid storage unit 3 is pluggable at the bottom of the housing 21, and can be plugged through the bottom opening of the housing 21, so as to be convenient for the user to take and replace. In other embodiments, the liquid storage unit 3 may be disposed at other locations of the host 2, for example, it may be disposed at a side or top of the host 2.
In some embodiments, the reservoir unit 3 may include a reservoir inner housing 31, a reservoir outer housing 32, and a second sealing plug 33. The inner reservoir housing 31 has a cylindrical shape, and an inner wall surface thereof defines a reservoir 310 for storing the atomized liquid. The wall thickness of the inner reservoir housing 31 is thinner so that the reservoir 310 has a larger reservoir space. The inner liquid storage shell 31 may be made of soft material such as silica gel, and in other embodiments, it may be made of hard material.
The liquid storage outer shell 32 is sleeved outside the liquid storage inner shell 31, and can play a role in supporting and protecting the liquid storage inner shell 31. The liquid storage shell 32 can be made of plastic, metal and other hard materials, and the external shape of the cross section of the liquid storage shell 32 is matched with the internal shape of the cross section of the shell 21. The outer surface of the liquid storage shell 32 can be further provided with an anti-slip part 321, so that friction force between the liquid storage shell 32 and a human hand can be increased, and the plugging operation of a user is facilitated. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the both sides of the bottom of the liquid storage housing 32 are respectively formed with uneven anti-slip lines, which form the anti-slip portion 321. The bottom both sides of the housing 21 are formed with grooves 211 corresponding to the anti-slip parts 321, respectively, and the grooves 211 extend upward from the bottom of the sidewall of the housing 21 so that the anti-slip parts 321 are exposed, thereby facilitating the user to grasp the anti-slip parts 321 to pull out the liquid storage unit 3. In other embodiments, the anti-slip portion 321 may be formed by attaching a soft material such as silica gel to the outer surface of the liquid storage housing 32.
The second sealing plug 33 is hermetically plugged at an opening at the upper end of the liquid storage inner shell 31 (i.e., the end near the atomizer 1) to hermetically seal the liquid storage bin 310. At least one liquid outlet channel 3320 communicated with the liquid storage bin 310 can be formed on the second sealing plug 33 along the longitudinal direction, and the liquid outlet channel 3320 can be used for being inserted into a liquid outlet pipe to output atomized liquid in the liquid storage bin 310 to the atomizer 1. In the present embodiment, there are two liquid outlet channels 3320, and the two liquid outlet channels 3320 can have different apertures to have different liquid outlet rates. In other embodiments, the apertures of the two liquid outlet channels 3320 may be the same. In other embodiments, the number of the liquid outlet channels 3320 is not limited to two, and may be one or more than two, for example.
The second sealing plug 33 may in some embodiments comprise a body portion 331 and a liquid outlet portion 332 cooperating with the body portion 331. The body 331 is sealingly plugged into the upper opening of the inner housing 31, and may be made of hard material such as plastic. The liquid outlet 332 is disposed at the top of the main body 331, and can be made of soft material such as silica gel. The liquid outlet channel 3320 can be formed on the liquid outlet portion 332, and after the liquid outlet tube is inserted, the liquid outlet channel 3320 made of soft material is wrapped on the outer surface of the liquid outlet tube and is in sealing fit with the outer surface of the liquid outlet tube so as to prevent liquid leakage. The liquid outlet of the liquid outlet channel 3320 can be designed as a cross groove or a straight groove, and when the liquid outlet channel 3320 is not inserted into the liquid outlet pipe, the cross groove or the straight groove of the liquid outlet channel 3320 is sealed to prevent the atomized liquid in the liquid storage bin 310 from flowing out.
After the atomized liquid is used up, the whole liquid storage unit 3 can be replaced, or the atomized liquid can be injected into the liquid storage bin 310 through the liquid outlet channel 3320 for continuous use.
The reservoir unit 3 may in some embodiments further comprise at least one magnetic element 34 embedded in the second sealing plug 33 for magnetic connection with the host 2. Specifically, in the present embodiment, there are two magnetic attraction pieces 34, and the two magnetic attraction pieces 34 may be respectively embedded on both sides of the top diagonal of the body portion 331.

The cross-sectional area of the second buffer cavity 112 is larger, so that more atomized liquid can be buffered, and leakage of the atomized liquid from the pressure release hole 1771 and other parts caused by excessive liquid supply is avoided. The first liquid outlet 114 may be in communication with the bottom of the first buffer cavity 111. In other embodiments, the buffer chamber 110 may be provided with only one and located at one circumferential side of the atomizing chamber 113, or the buffer chamber 110 may be provided with only one and located around the atomizing chamber 113.
The suction nozzle cover 12 is arranged at the upper end opening of the atomization shell 11 to seal and cover the buffer cavity 110. An air outlet channel 120 is formed in the mouthpiece cover 12 for outputting aerosol for inhalation by a user.

In some embodiments, the atomizing core 17 may further include a fixing tube 175 sleeved outside the liquid absorbing member 171, and an atomizing base 174 embedded in the opening at the lower end of the fixing tube 175. The fixing tube 175 may have a circular tube shape and be made of a hard material such as metal, plastic, etc. for supporting the fixing liquid absorbing member 171. The fixed tube 175 is provided with at least one liquid inlet 1750 for conducting liquid between the liquid absorbing member 171 and the buffer chamber 110. In this embodiment, there are three liquid inlets 1750, and the three liquid inlets 1750 may be distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the fixed pipe 175. Further, the fixing tube 175 may further be formed with a slot 1751, and the slot 1751 may be formed by extending the upper end surface of the fixing tube 175 downward in the axial direction, so that the upper end opening of the fixing tube 175 has a certain elasticity, and the liquid absorbing member 171 may be conveniently inserted into the fixing tube 175 from the upper end opening of the fixing tube 175. In addition, the slot 1751 may also be used to place the wicking element 171 in fluid communication with the buffer chamber 110, and the slot 1751 and the three fluid intake holes 1750 may be evenly spaced apart along the circumference of the stationary tube 175.
The atomizing seat 174 is embedded in the opening at the lower end of the fixed tube 175, and the outer wall surface of the atomizing seat 174 is in sealing fit with the inner wall surface of the fixed tube 175. In some embodiments, the atomizing base 174 may be made of a soft material such as silicone. The atomizing base 174 may be formed with an air vent 1740 for communicating the heat generating chamber 1710 with the air inlet 210 and two lead holes 1741 for passing the two electrode leads 173 therethrough, respectively, in a longitudinal direction.
In some embodiments, the atomizing core 17 may further include a liquid guide 176 that is sleeved outside the fixed tube 175. The liquid guide member 176 is cylindrical and sleeved between the vent pipe 177 and the fixed pipe 175, and the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface of the liquid guide member are respectively contacted with the vent pipe 177 and the fixed pipe 175, so that the atomized liquid entering from the vent pipe 177 can be rapidly and uniformly conducted to the fixed pipe 175 through the infiltration and capillary effect of the micropores in the liquid guide member 176. The liquid guide 176 may be a porous structure, and may be liquid-guiding cotton, or may be a hard porous structure such as porous ceramic, porous glass ceramic, or porous glass in other embodiments.
The vent tube 177 may include a first tube segment 1772 at a lower portion and a second tube segment 1773 at an upper portion, and the first tube segment 1772 may have an inner diameter and an outer diameter that are greater than the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the second tube segment 1773, respectively. The fixed tube 175, the liquid guide 176, and the liquid suction member 171 can all be accommodated in the first tube section 1772. At least one liquid guiding hole 1770 is formed on the first pipe section 1772, so that atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 can enter the breather pipe 177 through the at least one liquid guiding hole 1770 and be absorbed by the liquid guiding member 176. In this embodiment, the number of the liquid guiding holes 1770 is four, the four liquid guiding holes 1770 can be uniformly distributed at intervals along the circumference of the first pipe segment 1772, and the four liquid guiding holes 1770 can be respectively in one-to-one correspondence with the slots 1751 and the three liquid inlet holes 1750.
The upper end of the second tube segment 1773 may be embedded in the outlet channel 120 and communicate with the outlet channel 120. The wall surface of the second pipe section 1773 may further be provided with at least one pressure relief hole 1771, and the buffer cavity 110 may be communicated with the outside through the pressure relief hole 1771, so as to implement pressure relief when the liquid supply pipe 25 supplies liquid to the buffer cavity 110, so that the liquid supply is smooth. In this embodiment, two liquid supply pipes 25 are respectively disposed at two circumferential sides of the vent pipe 177, the at least one pressure relief hole 1771 may be disposed at one side or two sides of the second pipe section 1773, for example, the at least one pressure relief hole 1771 may be disposed at one side of the second pipe section 1773 corresponding to one of the liquid supply pipes 25, or at least one pressure relief hole 1771 may be disposed at two circumferential sides of the second pipe section 1773 corresponding to the two liquid supply pipes 25. In other embodiments, when the number of the liquid supply pipes 25 is one and disposed at one circumferential side of the ventilation pipe 177, the at least one pressure relief hole 1771 may be opened at a side of the second pipe section 1773 corresponding to the one liquid supply pipe 25.
The pressure relief hole 1771 has a small cross-sectional dimension (e.g., aperture, length, width, or cross-sectional area, etc.) so as to create a surface tension that, due to the surface tension, the atomized liquid does not enter the vent tube 177 from the buffer chamber 110. It will be appreciated that the smaller the cross-sectional size of the relief hole 1771, the higher the cost of the opening. In general, the cross-sectional dimensions of the relief vent 1771 may be selected based on factors such as the material of the vent tube 177, the viscosity of the atomized liquid, the cost of the vent, etc. For example, when the viscosity of the atomized liquid is large, the cross-sectional size of the relief hole 1771 may be appropriately increased, and when the viscosity of the liquid is small, the cross-sectional size of the relief hole 1771 may be appropriately decreased. In this embodiment, the pressure relief hole 1771 is a circular hole, the aperture Φ of the pressure relief hole 1771 may be between 0.4 and 1.0mm, preferably between 0.6 and 0.8mm, and in this size interval, the pressure relief hole 1771 has good ventilation and liquid resistance, and the cost of opening the hole is moderate. In other embodiments, the pressure relief hole 1771 may be an oval hole, a square hole, or other shapes, and the length or width of the pressure relief hole 1771 may be between 0.4 mm and 1.0mm, preferably between 0.6 mm and 0.8mm.
The pressure relief hole 1771 is located higher than the atomizing core 17 to reduce leakage. Further, the pressure relief hole 1771 is located higher than the second buffer chamber 112, so that the leakage preventing effect is better. In other embodiments, the pressure relief hole 1771 may be located flush with the upper end surface of the atomizing core 17 or the upper end surface of the second buffer chamber 112. The atomization shell 11 may further be formed with a second liquid outlet 115 communicated with the second buffer cavity 112, and a pressure release channel 1774 for communicating the second buffer cavity 112 with the pressure release hole 1771 may be formed between the outer wall surface of the second pipe section 1773 and the inner wall surface of the atomization shell 11 and between the outer wall surface of the atomization shell 12, and the second buffer cavity 112 is sequentially communicated with the outside through the second liquid outlet 115, the pressure release channel 1774, the pressure release hole 1771, and the air outlet channel 120.
Further, the atomizer 1 may further include a liquid accumulation member 178 sleeved outside the first pipe section 1772. The effusion cell 178 is porous and stores a certain amount of atomized liquid, which in this embodiment may be liquid cotton. In other embodiments, the effusion cell 178 may have a hard porous structure such as porous ceramic, porous glass ceramic, or porous glass. The effusion cell 178 may rapidly and uniformly introduce the atomized liquid in the buffer chamber 110 into the first tube segment 1772 through the infiltration and capillary effect of the pores therein.
In addition, the lower end of the effusion member 178 may be communicated with the first buffer cavity 111 through the first liquid outlet 114, and the upper end of the effusion member 178 may be communicated with the second buffer cavity 112 through the second liquid outlet 115, so that the effusion member 178 may adsorb the atomized liquid in the second buffer cavity 112, and prevent the atomized liquid in the second buffer cavity 112 in a free state from leaking.
The base component 13 is embedded in the lower end opening of the atomization shell 11, and the atomizer 1 can be mounted on the host machine 2 through the base component 13. After the atomizer 1 is assembled with the main unit 2, an air flow gap 280 communicating with the air inlet hole 210 may be formed between the bottom surface of the base member 13 and the upper end surface of the bracket member 28. The base assembly 13 may have at least one fluid supply channel 1320 that communicates the at least one fluid supply tube 25 with the at least one first buffer chamber 111 and at least one vent 1310 that communicates the air flow gap 280 with the heat generating chamber 1710. In the present embodiment, two liquid supply passages 1320 are provided and are respectively located at both sides of the base member 13 in the longitudinal direction, and the upper ends of the two liquid supply pipes 25 are respectively inserted into the two liquid supply passages 1320.

The upper end surface of the vent hole 1310 may be higher than the surface of the base 131 of the circumference thereof, so that leakage of liquid through the vent hole 1310 may be reduced.
The sealing seat 132 may be made of soft material such as silica gel. The outer surface of the sealing seat 132 is in sealing engagement with the inner surface of the atomizing housing 11 to avoid leakage. The liquid supply channel 1320 may be formed on the sealing seat 132, and after the liquid supply pipe 25 is inserted into the liquid supply channel 1320, the soft sealing seat 132 wraps the liquid supply pipe 25, so that leakage of liquid can be reduced. In addition, a first blocking wall 1321 may be formed in the liquid supply channel 1320, the first blocking wall 1321 may be located at the bottom of the liquid supply channel 1320 and may be in a concave circular arc shape, a slot in a shape of a straight slot is formed on the first blocking wall 1321, when the atomizer 1 is inserted into the host 2, the liquid supply pipe 25 may pass through the slot on the first blocking wall 1321 to be communicated with the first buffer cavity 111, and after the atomizer 1 is pulled out from the host 2, the slot on the first blocking wall 1321 is closed and sealed to prevent the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 from flowing out.

The atomizer 1 may in some embodiments further comprise at least one support tube 15 embedded in the at least one liquid supply channel 1320 to communicate the liquid supply tube 25 with the first buffer chamber 111.

The support pipe 15 is embedded in the upper part of the liquid supply channel 1320, has a short axial length, and is used for supporting the soft liquid supply channel 1320, so that the problems of inconvenient assembly, poor appearance and reduced reliability caused by too long length of the liquid supply pipe 25 can be avoided, or the problem of insufficient support caused by too long length of the soft liquid supply channel 1320 can be avoided. The support tube 15 may not be in direct contact with the liquid supply tube 25, and damage caused by collision of the support tube 15 with the liquid supply tube 25 when the atomizer 1 is assembled with the main unit 2 may be avoided.

One end of the liquid supply pipe 25 connected with the controller 24 can be used as a detection anode of the liquid level detection system, one end of the electrode assembly 60 connected with the controller 24 can be used as a detection cathode of the liquid level detection system, and naturally, one end of the liquid supply pipe 25 connected with the controller 24 can be used as a detection cathode, and one end of the electrode assembly 60 connected with the controller 24 can be used as a detection anode. If the liquid supply pipe 25 and the heating element 172 are simultaneously contacted with the atomized liquid and conducted by the atomized liquid to form a passage, the controller 24, the liquid supply pipe 25, the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110, the heating element 172, the electrode assembly 60 and the controller 24 are sequentially conducted to form a liquid level detection circuit, which means that the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 is sufficient, the liquid transmission assembly 23 can stop supplying the liquid to the buffer cavity 110, so as to avoid the leakage of the atomized liquid caused by excessive atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110, the atomized liquid is gradually consumed along with the suction and the heating, and the atomized liquid in a free state in the buffer cavity 110 can be immediately supplemented to the effusion element 178, the liquid guide element 176 and the liquid suction element 171 until the interruption. When the gap between the liquid supply pipe 25 and the heating element 172 is open, it indicates that the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 is insufficient, the liquid transmission assembly 23 can be started to supply liquid to the buffer cavity 110, the liquid accumulation member 178, the liquid guide member 176 and the liquid suction member 171 are filled with the supplied atomized liquid, and when a certain amount of atomized liquid in a free state is present in the buffer cavity 110, a passage is formed between the liquid supply pipe 25 and the heating element 172, and the liquid transmission assembly 23 stops supplying liquid.
In this embodiment, whether atomized liquid exists in the buffer cavity 110 is judged by the on-off of the circuit between the liquid supply pipe 25 and the electrode assembly 60, the structure is simple, the result is reliable, the automatic liquid injection response is fast, and dry burning and liquid leakage can be avoided. Specifically, whether a passage is formed between the liquid supply pipe 25 and the electrode assembly 60 is determined by the controller 24, if so, a closing signal for stopping the supply of liquid to the liquid transfer assembly 23 is output to the liquid transfer assembly 23, and if not, an opening signal for opening the liquid transfer assembly 23 is output to the liquid transfer assembly 23. The off signal and/or the on signal may be transmitted to the liquid delivery assembly 23 in real time, so that the liquid delivery assembly 23 stops supplying liquid and/or starts supplying liquid in real time. In other embodiments, the controller 24 may also include a delay module for delaying the start or stop of the liquid delivery assembly 23.
In another embodiment, the liquid level detection system can control the liquid transmission assembly 23 to start liquid supply when the circuit break between the liquid supply pipe 25 and the electrode assembly 60 is detected, and the liquid transmission assembly 23 stops pumping liquid after a certain period of time. The atomized liquid pumped by the liquid delivery assembly 23 can be stored in the liquid accumulation member 178, the liquid guide member 176 and the liquid suction member 171 for heating and atomizing by the heating member 172. When the atomized liquid is consumed, the system will again detect an open circuit between the liquid supply tube 25 and the electrode assembly 60, and then turn on the liquid delivery assembly 23 to continue pumping liquid. The primary pumping time and the pumping liquid amount can be determined according to parameters such as the liquid supply speed, the atomization speed, the capacity of the buffer cavity 110, and the like, for example, the primary pumping time can be 1-5 s, and the primary pumping liquid amount can be 15-50 mg.
The two end surfaces of the liquid supply pipe 25 can conduct electricity, and the liquid supply pipe 25 can be respectively communicated with the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 and the controller 24 through the two end surfaces. The end surfaces of the first electrode column 26 and the second electrode column 16 can be conductive, the lower end surface of the first electrode column 26 is conductive with the controller 24, the upper end surface of the first electrode column 26 can be in contact conductive with the lower end surface of the second electrode column 16, and the upper end surface of the second electrode column 16 is conductive with the heating element 172. Specifically, the outer circumferences of the liquid supply tube 25, the first electrode column 26, and the second electrode column 16 are insulated, and for example, an insulating layer (such as an insulating sleeve, an insulating coating, a silicone flange, or the like) may be wrapped around the outer wall surfaces of the liquid supply tube 25 and/or the first electrode column 26, and/or the second electrode column 16 to insulate the outer circumferences thereof, so that the reliability of the circuit between the liquid supply tube 25 and the electrode assembly 60 can be improved, erroneous judgment of a passage between the liquid supply tube 25 and the electrode assembly 60 due to leakage of liquid can be prevented, and dry burning of the heat generating element 172 can be prevented. Specifically, the liquid supply tube 25 communicates at the upper end with the region other than the buffer chamber 110 and the lower end connection controller 24 and the electrode assembly 60 communicates at the upper end with the region other than the heat generating chamber 1710 and the lower end connection controller 24, and the outer circumferential surface of the liquid supply tube 25 is absolutely insulated from the outer circumferential surface of the electrode assembly 60. In the present embodiment, the outer wall surface of the liquid supply tube 25 is wrapped by the insulating sealing seat 132 and the first sealing sleeve 27, so that the liquid supply tube 25 and the electrode assembly 60 are insulated from each other at a predetermined region.
Further, in order to further improve the reliability of the circuit between the liquid supply pipe 25 and the electrode assembly 60, a disconnection detection module may be further provided to perform disconnection detection on the liquid supply pipe 25 and/or the electrode assembly 60. By detecting the disconnection of the liquid supply pipe 25 itself, the problem of serious liquid leakage due to continuous liquid supply caused by disconnection due to failure of the liquid supply pipe 25 itself can be prevented. By detecting the disconnection of the electrode assembly 60, if the electrode assembly 60 fails to cause the disconnection, it is determined that the second electrode column 16 and the first electrode column 26 are not turned on, and it is determined that the atomizer 1 is not connected to the main unit 2, and the system is not operated. In some embodiments, the open circuit detection may be implemented by a redundant design, for example, at least two parallel wires may be led from the controller 24 to connect to the liquid supply pipe 25, and if the open circuit is caused by failure of the liquid supply pipe 25, the controller 24 outputs a shut-off signal to stop the liquid supply to the liquid delivery assembly 23.
Further, each liquid supply pipe 25 and the electrode assembly 60 at the corresponding side form a liquid level detection circuit, so that double-side liquid level detection of the buffer cavities 110 at two sides is realized, and the inclined use of the electronic atomization device can be considered. In the detection process, if the liquid level detection on both sides is a passage, the liquid transmission assembly 23 stops supplying liquid, if one side of the passage is open, the liquid transmission assembly 23 stops supplying liquid, and if the liquid level detection on both sides is open, the liquid transmission assembly 23 starts supplying liquid. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the liquid level detection circuit may be provided on only one side.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the atomizer 1 may be subjected to liquid level detection by other liquid level detection structures, for example, a liquid level detection member may be additionally disposed in the buffer cavity 110 for liquid level detection.

The detection terminals S1, S2 may be disposed on the same side of the atomizing core 17, and in other embodiments, the detection terminals S1, S2 may be disposed on different sides of the atomizing core 17. The outer circumferences of the detection terminals S1 and S2 are insulated, the end surfaces of the two ends of the detection terminals S1 and S2 can conduct electricity, and the signal detection points of the detection terminals S1 and S2 are respectively positioned on the upper end surfaces of the detection terminals.

When the capacity state of the atomized liquid in the atomizer 1 needs to be detected, the OIL_EN pin is pulled down, the MOS tube U1 is conducted, and the power supply voltage is fully applied to the resistors R2 and R3. The voltage values are measured in real time through the pins AD_T1 and AD_T2 of the MCU, and whether the capacity of the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 reaches the height of the detection terminals S1 and S2 in the buffer cavity 110 is distinguished according to the condition that the detection terminals S1 and S2 are contacted with the atomized liquid.

In this embodiment, the liquid supply tube 25a may include a first liquid supply tube 251 and a second liquid supply tube 252 that are sleeved with each other.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the supply tube 25a may be of unitary construction.
Fig. 15-16 show an electronic atomizing device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment mainly in that the electronic atomizing device according to the present embodiment is provided with only one liquid supply tube 25b at one side, and the liquid supply tube 25b may include a first liquid supply unit 251 provided to the stand assembly 28 and a second liquid supply unit 252 provided to the base assembly 13. The second liquid supply unit 252 is in a normally closed state, and when the atomizer 1 and the main machine 2 are separated from each other, the second liquid supply unit 252 keeps in a closed state, so that the atomizer 1 is ensured to be free from liquid leakage in an independent state. After the nebulizer 1 and the host 2 are assembled, the first liquid supply unit 251 and the second liquid supply unit 252 interact and are communicated, so that the buffer chamber 110 is communicated with the liquid transmission assembly 23.
The first liquid supply unit 251 may include a first liquid supply pipe 253 longitudinally embedded in the bracket assembly 28, and a lower end of the first liquid supply pipe 253 communicates with the liquid pumping pipe 235 and communicates with the liquid transferring assembly 23 via the liquid pumping pipe 235. Further, the first liquid supply unit 251 may further include a thimble 255 and a first elastic member 254 connected to the first liquid supply pipe 253 and the thimble 255, respectively. The thimble 255 may be tubular and may be made of a conductive material such as metal, which may be embedded in the top of the bracket assembly 28. The upper end surface of the ejector pins 255 may be substantially flush with the upper end surface of the bracket assembly 28, or they may be raised above the upper end surface of the bracket assembly 28.

The base assembly 13 has a cavity 130 for accommodating the second liquid supply unit 252, and the cavity 130 has a first opening 1302 facing the buffer cavity 110 and a second opening 1301 facing the host 2. The second liquid supply pipe 257 is disposed in the cavity 130 and can move up and down in the cavity 130, and the second liquid supply pipe 257 is provided with a liquid supply hole 2570. The first sealing plug 259 is fitted at the first opening 1302 to close the first opening 1302 when the atomizer 1 is separated from the main unit 2 to close the buffer chamber 110, prevent the atomized liquid in the buffer chamber 110 from leaking through the first opening 1302, and open the first opening 1302 after the atomizer 1 and the main unit 2 are assembled to allow the second liquid supply tube 257 to communicate with the buffer chamber 110 via the liquid supply hole 2570 and the first opening 1302.
Specifically, the first sealing plug 259 may include a stopper 2591 that is stopped in an upper end of the second liquid supply pipe 257 and a pressing portion 2892 that extends radially outward from an upper end of the stopper 2591. The second liquid supply pipe 257 and the first sealing plug 259 can be made of conductive materials such as metal, and the first sealing plug 259 can be installed on the second liquid supply pipe 257 in a riveting mode. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first sealing plug 259 and the second fluid supply tube 257 may be integrally formed. The first opening 1302 may be formed on the sealing seat 132 of the base assembly 13, and specifically, an annular inner flange 1321 may be formed in the sealing seat 132, and an inner wall surface of the inner flange 1321 defines the first opening 1302. When the atomizer 1 is separated from the main unit 2, the pressing portion 2892 abuts against the upper end surface of the inner flange 1321, thereby closing the first opening 1302. Since the sealing seat 132 is made of a soft material such as silica gel, the sealing effect of the first opening 1302 can be improved. In addition, the upper end aperture of the first opening 1302 may gradually increase from a side facing the cache chamber 110 to a side far from the cache chamber 110, and the outer diameter of the lower end of the pressing portion 2892 may gradually decrease from a side facing the cache chamber 110 to a side far from the cache chamber 110, so that the pressing portion 2892 may be closely attached to the inner flange 1321, and the sealing effect may be further improved.
In some embodiments, the second liquid supply unit 252 may further include a second sealing sleeve 256 and a second elastic member 258. The second sealing sleeve 256 may be made of soft materials such as silica gel, and the second sealing sleeve 256 is sleeved at one end of the second liquid supply tube 257 facing the host 2, and the outer wall surface of the second sealing sleeve is in sealing fit with the inner wall surface of the containing cavity 130, so as to further improve the liquid leakage preventing effect.

When the atomizer 1 is separated from the main unit 2, the pressing portion 2892 can elastically press against the inner flange 1321 under the action of the second elastic member 258, so as to close the first opening 1302.
The second sealing sleeve 256, the second liquid supply tube 257, the second elastic member 258 and the first sealing plug 259 cooperate to form a one-way valve structure. As shown in fig. 11, when the atomizer 1 is separated from the main unit 2, the second elastic member 258 is in a natural state, the lower end surface of the second sealing sleeve 256 and the lower end surface of the second liquid supply tube 257 are substantially flush with the lower end surface of the base assembly 13, and the pressing portion 2892 abuts against the upper end surface of the inner flange 1321, so that the first opening 1302 is closed, and the liquid supply hole 2570 is isolated from the buffer cavity 110. As shown in fig. 12, when the atomizer 1 is inserted into the main unit 2, the second sealing sleeve 256, the second liquid supply tube 257 and the first sealing plug 259 move toward the cache chamber 110 under the thrust of the ejector 255, the lower end of the second elastic member 258 moves upward to compress the second elastic member 258, the pressing portion 2892 moves upward to be separated from the inner flange 1321, and the first opening 1302 is opened, so that the atomized liquid in the second liquid supply tube 257 can flow into the cache chamber 110 through the liquid supply hole 2570 and the first opening 1302.
Fig. 17-19 show an electronic atomizing device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment mainly in that no pressure relief hole is provided in the ventilating pipe 177 in the present embodiment, and the pressure relief module 18 is provided in the atomizing housing 11 in the atomizer 1 in the present embodiment, so as to achieve pressure relief when the liquid supply pipe 25 supplies liquid to the buffer chamber 110.
The pressure relief module 18 may include a pressure relief tube 182 and a piston 183. The upper end of the liquid supply pipe 25 can be inserted into the pressure relief pipe 182 to be communicated with the pressure relief pipe 182, a liquid outlet hole 1821 for communicating the inside and the outside is formed in the side wall of the pressure relief pipe 182, and a pressure relief opening 1872 is formed at one end of the pressure relief pipe 182 away from the liquid supply pipe 25. The piston 183 can be arranged in the pressure relief pipe 182 in a back and forth moving way, when the liquid supply pipe 25 is opened for liquid supply, the piston 183 can move from the first position to the second position under the action of hydraulic pressure, so that the liquid outlet hole 1821 and the pressure relief opening 1872 are opened, pressure relief is realized during liquid supply, and liquid supply is smooth.
The lower end of the pressure relief tube 182 may be embedded in the base assembly 13 for fixation. The pressure relief tube 182, which may be tubular in some embodiments, may include a first tube section 1823 at a lower portion in communication with the supply tube 25 and a second tube section 1826 at an upper portion in communication with the first tube section 1823. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the pressure relief tube 182 may have other shapes such as square, oval, etc. The outer diameter of the first tube segment 1823 may be the same as the outer diameter of the second tube segment 1826, and the inner diameter of the first tube segment 1823 may be smaller than the inner diameter of the second tube segment 1826, i.e., the aperture of the first receptacle 1824 formed within the first tube segment 1823 may be smaller than the aperture of the second receptacle 1827 formed within the second tube segment 1826. A step 1825 is formed at the junction of the first volume 1824 and the second volume 1827, and the step 1825 is configured to limit the axial position of the piston 183 in the pressure relief tube 182. The liquid outlet hole 1821 is disposed on a side wall of the second pipe section 1826 and may be disposed near the step 1825. The side wall of the second pipe section 1826 may further be provided with a pressure relief hole 1822, the pressure relief hole 1822 and the liquid outlet hole 1821 are vertically spaced apart in the axial direction of the second pipe section 1826, and the pressure relief hole 1822 is located above the liquid outlet hole 1821 and located at a side of the liquid outlet hole 1821 away from the step 1825. The relief holes 1822 and the liquid outlet holes 1821 may be arranged in a superposed manner in the circumferential direction of the second pipe section 1826, or may be alternatively arranged.
The piston 183 is movably disposed back and forth in the second tube section 1826. When the piston 183 is in the first position, the lower end surface of the piston 183 is lower than the liquid outlet hole 1821, so that the liquid outlet hole 1821 is blocked, and the atomized liquid in the buffer cavity 110 cannot leak through the liquid outlet hole 1821. When the liquid supply pipe 25 starts to supply liquid, the piston 183 moves upward to the second position under the hydraulic pressure of the atomized liquid, at this time, the piston 183 is located between the liquid outlet hole 1821 and the pressure relief hole 1822 in the height direction, the liquid outlet hole 1821 is opened, the atomized liquid in the pressure relief pipe 182 can enter the buffer chamber 110 through the liquid outlet hole 1821, and at the same time, the air in the buffer chamber 110 is relieved to the outside of the atomizer 1 through the pressure relief hole 1822.
In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the piston 183 is large at both ends and small in the middle, and the outer diameter of the piston 183 may gradually decrease from top to bottom and then gradually increase, presenting a smooth transition. The outer wall surfaces of the two ends of the piston 183 are in sealing fit with the inner wall surface of the second pipe section 1826, and the middle outer wall surface of the piston 183 is in clearance fit with the inner wall surface of the second pipe section 1826, so that friction force when the piston 183 moves in the second pipe section 1826 can be reduced. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the piston 183 may take other shapes, for example, it may be stepped or straight cylindrical.
The pressure relief module 18 may also include a third seal sleeve 181 disposed at the lower end of the pressure relief tube 182 to prevent leakage. The third sealing sleeve 181 may be made of soft material such as silica gel, and the upper end of the liquid supply tube 25 may pass through the third sealing sleeve 181 in a sealing manner and extend into the pressure release tube 182. The third sealing sleeve 181 is embedded at the bottom of the pressure relief pipe 182, the outer surface of the third sealing sleeve 181 is in sealing fit with the inner surface of the pressure relief pipe 182, and the bottom surface of the third sealing sleeve 181 can be approximately flush with the bottom surface of the pressure relief pipe 182.
