  • the power supply mechanism connection end 1221 may be embedded into the bottom wall 127 of the base 12 along the traverse direction through insert molding, the connection portion 1222 is embedded in the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125 along the longitudinal direction, and the heating element electrical connection end 1223 is obliquely extended into the atomization chamber 124, and abuts against the heating element 35.
  • the electrodes 122 usually include a positive electrode and a negative electrode. One electrode 122 is embedded in the first support plate 124, and the other electrode 122 is embedded in the second support plate 125.
  • the power supply mechanism connection end 1221 needs to be exposed when being embedded in the bottom wall 127, to be electrically connected to the power supply mechanism.
  • the heating element connection end 1223 is made of an elastic piece with a deformation capability, is easily deformed under a squeezing force when abutting against the heating element 35, and is in tight contact with the heating element 35 under a deformation recovery force, to effectively ensure desirable electrical contact.
  • a via 12221 transversely extending through the connection portion 1222 is provided on the connection portion 1222.
  • the arrangement of the via 12221 is mainly used for forming the through hole 126. Since the through hole 126 is arranged on the first support plate 124 or the second support plate 125, it is difficult to manufacture the through hole 126 on a mold. However, through the arrangement of the via 12221 on the electrode 122, the through hole 126 can be formed through insert molding.
  • the liquid storage cavity 13 for storing the liquid substrate is defined by the first sealing member 20 and the inner wall of the housing 10, the first opening 223 for an aerosol to pass through is provided on the first sealing member 20, and the porous body 30 spans the first opening 223, and is supported on the first sealing member 20, so that the aerosol generated after the atomization can flow to the air outlet hole 111 of the atomizer through the first opening 223.
  • the entire atomizer 100 has relatively few components, a structure is simple, and the assembly is convenient.
  • An embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic atomization device.
  • the electronic atomization device includes a power supply mechanism and the atomizer 100 described in the above embodiment.
  • the power supply mechanism includes a battery core (not shown in the figure), a controller (not shown in the figure), an airflow sensor (not shown in the figure), and a connection terminal (not shown in the figure).
  • the connection terminal is configured to electrically connect to the electrodes 122 of the atomizer 100.
  • the airflow sensor is configured to sense an inlet airflow of the atomizer 100, and send a sensing signal to the controller.
  • the controller controls the battery core to supply electrical energy to the atomizer 100 through the connection terminal. After obtaining the electrical energy, the heating element 35 of the atomizer 100 starts heating and atomizing the liquid substrate to generate an aerosol.
