The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the cartridge further comprises a sealing member, and the sealing member is fixed on the end of the pushing component facing the first end, and the sealing member is 4 . It is used for isolating the smoke liquid in the liquid storage member from the pushing assembly. 5. An electronic cigarette, characterized in that it comprises the cartridge according to any one of claims 1 to 4. 6. A method for obtaining an amount of smoke liquid, wherein the method is applied in the electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 5, and the method comprises: obtaining attitude indication information, where the attitude indication information is data detected by the attitude detection component in the electronic cigarette; When it is determined according to the attitude indication information that the pushing component pushes the smoke liquid in the liquid storage member toward the first end, the liquid storage is determined according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detector The amount of smoke liquid in the package; The attitude detection component includes a pressure sensor, an electronic cigarette internal gyroscope, and an electronic cigarette internal accelerometer, the pressure sensor is arranged on the inner wall of the end face of the second end of the liquid storage member, and the pressure sensor is used for detecting and indicating The pressure data of whether the cartridge is inverted, the processor determines whether the cartridge is inverted according to the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor, the second end of the liquid storage member is far away from the first end, and the pushing component When moving from the second end to the first end, push the smoke liquid in the liquid storage member to move toward the first end; Before determining the amount of smoke liquid in the liquid storage member according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detector, the method further includes: obtain the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor; When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is higher than a predetermined pressure threshold, it is determined that the pushing component does not push the smoke liquid in the liquid storage member toward the first end; When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is lower than or equal to a predetermined pressure threshold, determine whether the electronic cigarette is inverted and placed horizontally according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the data detected by the accelerometer ; If the electronic cigarette is not upside down and not placed horizontally, it is determined that the pushing component pushes the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage member toward the first end. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the method further comprises: When the cigarette lighting signal is received, if it is determined according to the attitude indication information that the pushing component pushes the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage member toward the first end, the liquid level detector is executed according to the The step of determining the amount of smoke liquid in the liquid storage part by the detected liquid level; If the amount of e-liquid in the liquid storage member is higher than a predetermined threshold, control the atomization component in the electronic cigarette to perform atomization operation according to the cigarette lighting signal, otherwise stop controlling the electronic cigarette according to the cigarette lighting signal The inner atomization component is used for atomization operation; When the cigarette lighting signal is received, if it is determined according to the attitude indication information that the pushing component does not push the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage member toward the first end, the control system according to the cigarette lighting signal is stopped. The atomization component in the electronic cigarette is used for atomization operation. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the method further comprises: When controlling the atomizing assembly in the electronic cigarette to work according to the cigarette lighting signal, the liquid outlet control member is controlled to be turned on. 9. A computer-readable storage medium, wherein one or more instructions are stored in the computer-readable storage medium, wherein the one or more instructions are executed by a processor in the electronic cigarette to realize rights The method of any one of claims 6 to 8. 10. A device for obtaining an amount of smoke liquid, wherein the device comprises: memory and processor; at least one program instruction is stored in the memory; The processor implements the method of any one of claims 6 to 8 by loading and executing the at least one program instruction.
