In other embodiments, the substrate 31 may also be an electrically insulating material, including but not limited to ceramic, glass, polyimide, etc. In the following examples, the substrate 31 is exemplified as a ceramic.

In other embodiments, there is no height difference between the second electrode 33 and the first electrode 32, that is, the second electrode 33 and the first electrode 32 are in the same plane.

It should be noted that, when the second electrode 33 is in the same plane as the first electrode 32, referring to fig. 8, the first electrode 32 and the second electrode 33 may be formed by forming a groove in the middle of the end of the substrate 31 or by separating them by other means.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5, 6 and 9, the sidewall of the insulating member 41 is broken to form an opening 41d, and the opening 41d extends along the axial direction. That is to say, the opening groove 41d penetrates through both ends of the insulating member 41 in the axial direction, and penetrates through the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall of the insulating member 41, so that the elasticity of the insulating member 41 is improved, the assembly of each part of the conductive assembly 40 is facilitated, and the stability and the reliability of the electrical connection structure of the conductive assembly 40 can be improved.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 3, 4 and 10, the first conductive elastic sheet 42b is bent relative to the first fixing portion 42 a. So, when first electrically conductive shell fragment 42b and base member 31 butt, on the one hand, be favorable to first electrically conductive shell fragment 42b pressurized to take place deformation, and then can avoid first electrically conductive 42 fracture base member 31 as far as possible, on the other hand, can set up the inclination of first electrically conductive shell fragment 42b according to the concrete structure of atomizer 100, be favorable to first electrically conductive shell fragment 42b better with atomizing core 30 butt, on the other hand, can make first electrically conductive shell fragment 42b pressurized to take place deformation to the direction that is close to the base member 31 central line, the uniformity and the reliability of electrically conductive subassembly 40 have been improved.

For example, referring to fig. 3, 4 and 10, when the first fixing portion 42a is annular, the distance between the first conductive elastic piece 42b and the center line of the first fixing portion 42a decreases along the direction of the first conductive elastic piece 42b away from the first fixing portion 42a, that is, the distance between the first conductive elastic piece 42b and the center line of the first fixing portion 42a gradually decreases along the direction of the first conductive elastic piece 42b approaching the substrate 31, and the first conductive elastic piece 42b is connected to the first fixing portion 42a at a certain angle, that is, the first conductive elastic piece 42b is obliquely disposed at the end of the first fixing portion 42a and abuts against the substrate 31 at a certain angle, so that when the first conductive elastic piece 42b abuts against the substrate 31, on the one hand, the first conductive elastic piece 42b is favorably deformed by pressure, so that the first conductive elastic piece 42b is prevented from fracturing the substrate 31 as much as possible, on the other hand, the oblique angle of the first conductive elastic piece 42b may be set according to the specific structure of the atomizer 100, which is favorable for the first conductive elastic piece 42b to abut against the atomizing core 30 better, and on the other hand, the first conductive elastic piece 42b may be deformed toward the direction of the center line, so as the conductive elastic piece, thereby improving the reliability of the conductive elastic piece assembly, and the conductive elastic piece 40 a direction of the conductive elastic piece is consistent with the center line.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 3, fig. 4 and fig. 10, an end of the first conductive elastic piece 42b away from the first fixing portion 42a is bent toward a direction close to the first fixing portion 42a to form a first bending portion 42c, and the first bending portion 42c is abutted to the first electrode 32. That is to say, the end of the first conductive elastic sheet 42b far away from the first fixing portion 42a is bent towards the direction far away from the base 31 to form a first bent portion 42c, and the first bent portion 42c abuts against the first electrode 32, that is, abuts against the base 31 by forming an arc surface, so on one hand, the first conductive elastic sheet 42b can be prevented from fracturing the base 31 as much as possible, and on the other hand, the first conductive elastic sheet 42b can be prevented from being pressed towards the direction far away from the center line of the annular channel 41a to some extent to deform, and the consistency and reliability of the conductive assembly 40 are further improved.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 5, 6 and 10, the number of the first conductive elastic pieces 42b is multiple, and each of the first conductive elastic pieces 42b is disposed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first fixing portion 42 a. Illustratively, the number of the first conductive elastic pieces 42b is 2, and 2 first conductive elastic pieces 42b are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first fixing portion 42 a. Thus, the plurality of first conductive elastic pieces 42b not only improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive piece 42 and the first electrode 32, but also can avoid the situation that any one first conductive elastic piece 42b cannot be abutted against the first electrode 32 due to being damaged. The first conductive elastic pieces 42b are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first fixing portion 42a, which is beneficial to improving the elasticity of the first conductive elastic pieces 42 b.

In the embodiments of the present application, the plurality of fingers includes two or more fingers.

Of course, in some embodiments, the number of the first conductive elastic pieces 42b may also be one.

In order to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive member 42 and the first electrode 32, the first conductive elastic sheet 42b and the first electrode 32 need to be abutted, and a positioning structure is required to be disposed on the insulating member 41 and the first conductive member 42, for example, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 4, 9 and 10, a first positioning portion 42d is disposed on the first fixing portion 42a, a second positioning portion 41b is disposed on the insulating member 41, and the first positioning portion 42d is matched with the second positioning portion 41b to position the first conductive elastic sheet 42b, so that, during assembly, the first positioning portion 42d is matched with the second positioning portion 41b to determine the assembly position of the first conductive member 42 and the insulating member 41, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency and can avoid assembly errors of an operator.

It should be noted that specific structures of the first positioning portion 42d and the second positioning portion 41b are not limited herein as long as the first conductive elastic piece 42b can be positioned, and for example, in an embodiment, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 9 and fig. 10 continuously, the first positioning portion 42d is a first positioning groove formed on a side wall of the first fixing portion 42a and extending along an axial direction, and the second positioning portion 41b is a first positioning protrusion formed on a side wall of the annular channel 41a and matching with the first positioning groove, so that when the first fixing portion 42a is disposed in the annular channel 41a, the first positioning protrusion is clamped into the first positioning groove to limit the first conductive piece 42.
