The liquid storage component sealant 823 may be provided with a silicone seal ring or seal cap as the liquid storage component sealant 823 on the atomization module top lid 710 . The pedestal seal 824 may be a seal ring provided on the atomization module pedestal 720 .

In the aerosol cylinder 800 , at least one gas-liquid exchange component capillary 2904 communicates between the liquid storage component 100 and the atomization core liquid introduction element 932 . When the liquid in the liquid storage component 100 is consumed, the liquid storage component 100 can be replenished with outside air through the atomization core liquid conducting element 932 and the gas-liquid exchange component capillary 2904 .

In this embodiment, two gas-liquid exchange components 290 may be provided, or one gas-liquid exchange component 290 and one normal liquid conducting element without gas-liquid exchange component pores 2904 may be provided. .

When the attachment of the aerosol cylinder 800 is completed, the capillary action of the gas-liquid exchange component 290 and the atomization core liquid introduction element 932 causes the liquid in the liquid storage component 100 to flow through the gas-liquid exchange component 290 to the atomization core liquid introduction element 932 . , and as the liquid in the liquid storage component 100 is led out, a negative pressure difference is formed between the inside of the liquid storage component 100 and the outside world. If the negative pressure difference between the inside of the liquid storage component 100 and the outside world is sufficiently high, outside air can enter the liquid storage component 100 through the gas-liquid exchange component pores 2904 of the gas-liquid exchange component 290, but the air communicating with it will Since the capillary end openings 2906 of the gas-liquid exchange component capillaries 2904 of the liquid exchange component 290 are blocked by the atomization core liquid introduction element 932, outside air passes through the atomization core liquid introduction element 932 and passes through the gas-liquid. It must enter the gas-liquid exchange component capillary 2904 of the replacement component 290 and finally into the reservoir component 100 . The capillary force of the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 decreases as the liquid content therein increases until the negative pressure difference between the liquid reservoir component 100 and the outside world is balanced. Because the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 is in an unsaturated state at equilibrium, it has the ability to absorb more liquid, and during atomization, the liquid content in the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 becomes too high, resulting in The risk of an oil explosion occurring is also reduced.

As the liquid in the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 is consumed by atomization, the capillary force of the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 increases and the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 continues to draw air until it reaches equilibrium again. Gas-liquid exchange is performed with the liquid storage component 100 via the liquid exchange component 290 .

When the environmental temperature rises or the outside air pressure decreases, the air in the liquid storage component 100 expands, the liquid in the liquid storage component 100 is led out, and the unsaturated atomization core liquid introduction element 932 is gas-liquid. The liquid can be absorbed from the liquid storage component 100 through the replacement component 290, reducing the risk of the aerosol cylinder 800 leaking due to an increase in ambient temperature or a decrease in atmospheric pressure. When the ambient temperature or outside air pressure returns to its original state, the capillary end opening 2906 of the gas-liquid exchange component capillary 2904 of the gas-liquid exchange component 290 communicating therewith is blocked by the atomization core liquid introduction element 932. , some of the liquid in the atomizing core liquid introduction element 932 enters the liquid storage component 100 through the gas-liquid exchange component 290 preferentially over the outside air. This is advantageous for liquid to move between the reservoir component 100 and the atomizing core liquid conducting element 932 when the environmental temperature or pressure changes, and reduces the risk of liquid leakage during the course of daily use of the aerosol cylinder 800. Reduce.

The top exit of the aerosol passage 1303 is the aerosol outlet 1301 and the bottom opening of the aerosol passage 1303 is the atomization module connection port 1302 for communicating with the atomization module top seam 711 . Aerosol atomized in atomization module 700 escapes through atomization module top seam 711 , atomization module connection port 1302 , aerosol passageway 1303 , and aerosol outlet 1301 . The atomization module seat 720 is provided with an air intake port 1121 that axially penetrates the atomization module seat 720 as a passage for outside air to enter the atomization module 700 .

The aerosol outlet 1301 may be provided with an aerosol outlet seal plug 1306 that closes the aerosol outlet 1301 , and the inlet 1121 of the atomization module seat 720 is provided with an inlet seal plug 1127 that closes the inlet 1121 . may Aerosol outlet seal plug 1306 and inlet seal plug 1127 may each be provided with a silicone seal plug. The installation of an aerosol outlet seal plug 1306 and an inlet seal plug 1127 can further enhance the leakproof ability of the aerosol cylinder 800 during storage and transportation processes.
