  • The liquid storage assembly 10 includes a cartridge housing having a liquid storage cavity 111 and a movable member 12 rotatably arranged on the cartridge housing, the cartridge housing is provided with a liquid injection hole 112 communicating with the liquid storage cavity 111. The movable member 12 is located on one side of the liquid injection hole 112. Rotating the movable member 12 can stagger the movable member 12 and the liquid injection hole 112 to expose or close the liquid injection hole 112. When the movable member 12 is staggered with the liquid injection hole 112 to expose the liquid injection hole 112, the user can inject e-liquid into the liquid storage cavity 111 through the liquid injection hole 112. When the movable member 12 closes the liquid injection hole 112, the liquid storage cavity 111 communicating with the liquid injection hole 112 is also closed. The e-liquid in the liquid storage cavity 111 cannot flow out, and the user cannot perform the liquid injection operation.
  • In one of the embodiments, the cartridge housing includes a housing 11 and a sealing member. The housing 11 is generally a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at the lower end, the liquid storage cavity 111 is formed by the inner cavity of the housing 11, the sealing member is installed at one end of the housing 11 for sealing the liquid storage cavity 111. A vent tube 13 is formed on the top of the housing 11 extending downward along the axial direction of the housing 11. The upper end of the vent tube 13 passes through the upper end surface of the housing 11, the upper end opening of the vent tube 13 is provided with a smoke outlet opening 113, the lower end of the vent tube 13 is connected with the atomizing head 20. The inner cavity of the vent tube 13 is provided with a smoke outlet channel 131. When the user performs a suction operation, the smoke generated by the atomization of the cigarette liquid by the atomizing head 20 passes through the smoke outlet channel 131 and then enters the user's mouth through the smoke outlet opening 113.
  • In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 11, a liquid injection hole 112 is provided on the sealing member. The movable member 12 is connected to the sealing member and is located on one side of the liquid injection hole 112. When the user performs the liquid injection operation, the liquid storage assembly 10 is adjusted to the state where the liquid injection hole 112 is located above, firstly; and then, the movable member 12 is rotated, so that the movable member 12 and the liquid injection hole 112 are staggered to expose the liquid injection hole 112; finally, a liquid injection mechanism (for example, a liquid injection needle) is used to inject liquid into the liquid storage cavity 111 through the liquid injection hole 112.
  • The movable member 12 includes a main body 121. Rotating the movable member 12 can make the main body 121 cover the liquid injection hole 112 so as to close the liquid injection hole 112. Or, the rotating movable member 12 can make the main body 121 and the liquid injection hole 112 stagger each other to expose the liquid injection hole 112, so that liquid can be injected into the liquid storage cavity 111 through the liquid injection hole 112.
  • In a specific embodiment, the movable member 12 also includes a rotating shaft 122 protruding from one end of the main body 121 and a limiting member 123 disposed at the other end of the rotating shaft 122 relative to the main body 121. The sealing member is provided with a mating hole 155. The rotating shaft 122 is rotatably installed in the mating hole 155.
