In other embodiments, thevent 234 may be defined by other means, and will not be limited by the present disclosure. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , theshell 11 may define a receiving hole in correspondence with theheating assembly 14. Theheating assembly 14 may include aheating body 142 and aheating member 144. Theheating body 142 may be received in the receiving hole and connected with theshell 11 in a detachable manner. Theheating member 144 may be exposed out of theshell 11. When thecover 20 is arranged to cover thebody portion 10, thechannel wall 23 may be arranged inside theprotective holder 30, and theheating assembly 144 may be inserted into the channel to heat thetobacco product 50. - To be specific, as shown in
FIG. 11 , abottom wall 239 of thechannel wall 23 may define arelief hole 235. Referring toFIG. 7 , in the first state, theheating member 144 of theheating assembly 14 may be inserted into therelief hole 235 to heat thetobacco product 50 in the channel. - In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 3 , theheating assembly 14 may further include anelectrode 146. Theelectrode 146 may be connected with thecircuit board 13 and electrically connected with thebattery 121, such that an electric energy of thebattery 121 may be transferred to theheating member 144. Theheating member 144 may receive the electric energy and heat thetobacco product 50. - In the first state, as shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , an end of theheating member 144 may be arranged out of the channel and connected to theelectrode 146, and the other end of theheating member 144 may extend through therelief hole 235 to be received within the channel. A part of theheating member 144 received within the channel may be inserted into an inside of thetobacco product 50 to heat thetobacco product 50 to generate the smoke. - In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , a gap may be defined between an outer wall of theheating member 144 and a side wall of therelief hole 235, and the external air may flow through the gap to reach the inside of the channel to drive the smoke to flow to an outside of the atomization device for a user to inhale. - In an embodiment, the
heating member 144 may be cylindrical, and a part of thecylindrical heating member 144 close to thetobacco product 50 may be arranged to be conical. Arranging theheating member 144 to be cylindrical is to increase a contact area between theheating member 144 and thetobacco product 50 to increase the heating efficiency. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , in the present embodiment, the heating member may be flat to reduce a friction resistance for theheating member 144 inserted into thetobacco product 50. - In an embodiment, an end of the
heating member 144 close to thecover 20 may be triangular to further reduce the friction resistance for theheating member 144 inserted into thetobacco product 50, facilitating theheating member 144 to be inserted into thetobacco product 50 easily. - As a majority of the
tobacco products 50 in the market are made to be cylindrical, thechannel wall 23 of the present embodiment may be provided to define a cylindrical channel to fit with the geometry of thetobacco product 50, as shown inFIG. 11 . A shape of therelief hole 235 may be defined to be stripped along a diameter of thebottom wall 239. By defining therelief hole 235 along the diameter, thetobacco product 50 may be symmetrically distributed at two sides of theheating member 144, and may be heated evenly. - Typically, when the
heating member 144 in a form of a sheet heats acylindrical tobacco product 50, thetobacco product 50 close two sides of theheating member 144 may be heated at first. Therefore, thetobacco product 50 close to a diametrical region of theheating member 144 may be efficiently atomized, and thetobacco product 50 away from the diametrical region of theheating member 144 may be atomized later. The air may flow from therelief hole 235 of thebottom wall 239 of thechannel wall 23 to the inside of the channel to drive the generated smoke to flow to the outside of the atomization device. When thetobacco product 50 is heated to a certain extent, thetobacco product 50 close to theheating member 144 may be completely heated, the air flowing from therelief hole 235 may drive the smoke generated from theover-heated tobacco product 50, and the smoke may taste burnt to the user, influencing user experience. - To atomize the tobacco product located away from the
heating member 144 completely, in the present embodiment as shown inFIG. 9 , anair entering hole 236 may be defined in a side wall of thechannel wall 23. Theair entering hole 236 allows the air to flow into the channel and contact the tobacco product located between theair entering hole 236 and thesmoke outlet 221, improving the heating efficiency of the tobacco product located therein. - According to the present embodiment, the
relief hole 235 may be defined in thebottom wall 239 of thechannel wall 23, and anair entering hole 236 may be defined on the side wall of thechannel wall 23. During an early stage of heating thetobacco product 50, as a distance between thetobacco product 50 and the side wall of thechannel wall 23 is small, the air entering hole on the side wall may be blocked, the air may flow into the channel through therelief hole 235 on thebottom wall 239, a middle portion of thetobacco product 50 contacts theheating member 144 and may be completely heated and atomized. The atomization of thetobacco product 50 may reduce a size of thetobacco product 50, and the distance between thetobacco product 50 and the side wall may be increased. During a later stage of heating thetobacco product 50, the air may enter the channel through theair entering hole 236 on the side wall of thechannel wall 23, and a part of thetobacco product 50 close to the side wall may be completely heated, the middle portion of thetobacco product 50 may be prevented from being over-heated, improving the user experience. - The
air entering hole 236 may be defined in an end of the side wall close to thebottom wall 239 to maximize a distance between theair entering hole 236 and thesmoke outlet 221 and maximize a contact area between the air and thetobacco product 50. Therefore, increased amount of tobacco may be efficiently atomized. Thetobacco product 50 located between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239 may contact the air sufficiently, and a waste of the tobacco product may be prevented. - In an embodiment, a distance between an end of a side wall of the
air entering hole 236 closest to thebottom wall 239 and thebottom wall 239 may be defined as a smallest distance between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239, and the smallest distance may be less than or equal to 5mm. That is, the smallest distance between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239 is less than or equal to 5mm. For example, the smallest distance may be 0mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 4mm, 5mm, or the like. - In the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 10 , theair entering hole 236 may be circular, and the smallest distance between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239 may be 0, that is, a distance between a center of theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239 is equal to a radius of theair entering hole 236, and that is, thebottom wall 239 touches theair entering hole 236. Therefore, the distance between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239 reaches a smallest value, avoiding thetobacco product 50 from being wasted. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 11 , an axle direction of theair entering hole 236 may be perpendicular to a length direction of therelief hole 235, such that a contact area between the air entering from theair entering hole 236 and theheating assembly 144 may be maximized. By defining theair entering hole 236 to be perpendicular to therelief hole 235, the entered air may diffuse symmetrically from theair entering hole 236 towards a periphery, directions of the air flow are shown inFIG. 11 . Thetobacco product 50 in thechannel 23 may be evenly heated, and an atomization efficiency may be improved. - In an embodiment, two
air entering holes 236 may be defined in the side wall of thechannel wall 23, opposite to each other and facing towards two opposing sides of theheating member 144, such that the tobacco located at the two opposing sides of theheating member 144 may be evenly heated. - In an embodiment, a plurality of
air entering holes 236 may be defined to improve an efficiency of air entering. In the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 11 , the plurality ofair entering holes 236 may be defined on a same cross section of thechannel wall 23, such that thetobacco product 50 may be evenly heated. - In an embodiment, as a large amount of tobacco is arranged opposing to each other along a length direction of the
heating member 144, such that thetobacco product 50 located at two opposing sides of theheating member 144 along the length direction may be atomized completely. In other embodiments, the number and positions of theair entering holes 236 may be determined based on the shape of thechannel wall 23 and the shape of theheating member 144, which will not be limited by the present disclosure. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 9 , the outer surface of thechannel wall 23 may be arranged with an abuttingportion 237. A distance between the abuttingportion 237 and thebottom wall 239 may be less than the distance between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239, that is, the abuttingportion 237 may be arranged between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239, or the abuttingportion 237 and thebottom wall 239 may be arranged on a same plane. - In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , the abuttingportion 237 may abut against an inner wall of theprotective holder 30. When the air entering from thevent 234 flows to reach the abuttingportion 237, as the abuttingportion 237 contacts the inner wall of theprotective holder 30, a direction of the air flow may be changed, and the air may flow through theair entering hole 236 to the inside of the channel. By arranging the abuttingportion 237 between the outer surface of thechannel wall 23 and the inner wall of the protective holder, an end of thechannel wall 23 away from thecase 22 may be prevented from shaking inside thecover 20, and theheating member 144 may be prevented from being mis-engaged with therelief hole 235 of thebottom wall 239, which may cause a plug failure. - In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 9 andFIG. 11 , the abuttingportion 237 may defineair guiding channel 238 in correspondence with theair entering hole 236. Theair guiding channel 238 may be defined at a bottom of theair entering hole 236, and the air reaching the abuttingportion 237 may be guided into theair entering hole 236, facilitating the air to enter the channel. - The abutting
portion 237 may be uniformly arranged on the outer surface of thechannel wall 23, such that external forces may be evenly applied to thechannel wall 23. In the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 7 andFIG. 9 , the abuttingportion 237 surrounds thechannel wall 23 along a circumferential direction abutting against the inner wall of theprotective holder 30, and the abuttingportion 237 and thebottom wall 239 of thechannel wall 23 may be coplanar. - The abutting
portion 237 arranged along the circumferential direction may allow external forces to be evenly applied to the outer side of thechannel wall 23. The abuttingportion 237 may abut against the inner wall of theprotective holder 30, such that an increased amount of the air entering from thevent 234 may flow through theair entering hole 236. By arranging the abuttingportion 237 and thebottom wall 239 coplanar, the distance between theair entering hole 236 and thebottom wall 239 may be reduced, such that a size of thetobacco product 50 contacting the air may be maximized, and thetobacco product 50 may not be wasted. - In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , when thecover 20 is arranged to cover thebody portion 10, a side of theprotective holder 30 away from theheating assembly 14 may abut against thecase 22. To be specific, when thecover 20 is arranged to cover thebody portion 10, two ends of theprotective holder 30 may abut against thecase 22 and theshell 11, respectively, such that air diffusion may be reduced, and an airtight space may be defined inside theholder body 31. Some air may be reserved in the airtight space, between thevent 234 and theair entering hole 236. The reserved air may be pre-heated by theheat channel wall 23, such that a temperature of the air flowing through theair entering hole 236 may be greater than a temperature of the external air, improving the taste for the user. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 6 , theholder body 31 may include abottom board 34, arranged on a side of theholder body 31 close to theheating assembly 14, and thebottom board 34 may define arelief recess 342. As shown inFIG. 2 andFIG. 7 , theheating assembly 14 may be arranged with a clampingportion 145 protruding from theheating assembly 14 to fix theheating member 144. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , when theprotective holder 30 masks theheating assembly 14 and connects with theshell 11, the clampingportion 145 is received in therelief recess 342, and thebottom board 34 may abut against theheating body 142. Theheating assembly 14 may be fixed on theshell 11 to be prevented from shaking while in use. A reduced number of components for fixing theheating assembly 14 may be needed, reducing complexity of a structure of theatomization device 100 and enabling an easy detaching and assembling process. Further, the clampingportion 145 may seal air channels inside theprotective holder 30, such that the smoke may be prevented from being condensed and flow back into theshell 11 to damage thecircuit board 13, thebattery 121, and other elements inside theshell 11. - In the present embodiment, the clamping
portion 145 may be made of plastics to improve a sealing effect between the clampingportion 145 and a side wall of therelief recess 342. - Further, a surface of the
