DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure will now be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, and only illustrate the basic structure of the present disclosure in a schematic way, so they only show the structure related to the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , the present disclosure provides an aerosol generation device, which includes an atomizer 100 and a power supply device (not shown) electrically connected with the atomizer 100. In use, the power supply device provides electric energy to the atomizer 100, which heats the aerosol-forming substrate after being energized. The aerosol-forming substrate is atomized to form smoke under the heating effect, and the smoke is for the user to inhale.
Referring to FIGS. 1-4 , the atomizer 100 includes a liquid storage member 10, an atomizing assembly 20 and a mouthpiece 30. A liquid storage chamber 101 for storing the aerosol-forming substrate is provided in the liquid storage member 10. The atomizing assembly 20 is installed on the liquid storage member 10. The atomizing assembly 20 is provided with an atomizing chamber 201 and a liquid inlet 202 which is in communication with the atomizing chamber 201. The mouthpiece 30 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the atomizing assembly 20 along an axial direction. The mouthpiece 30 can slide between a first locking position and a second locking position relative to the liquid storage member 10. The first locking position and the second locking position are the positions in which the mouthpiece 30 and the liquid storage member 10 are kept relatively fixed. When the mouthpiece 30 slides to the first locking position, the mouthpiece 30 closes the liquid inlet 202. When the mouthpiece 30 slides from the first locking position to the second locking position, the mouthpiece 30 opens the liquid inlet 202 such that the liquid inlet 202 is in communication with the liquid storage chamber 101.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , when the atomizer 100 is not in use, the mouthpiece 30 slides to the first locking position, and the liquid inlet 202 is closed by the mouthpiece 30, so that the aerosol-forming substrate in the liquid storage chamber 101 cannot pass through the liquid inlet 202, thereby preventing the aerosol-forming substrate from communicating with the atomizing chamber 201, thus avoiding the deterioration and leakage of the aerosol-forming substrate. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , when the atomizer 100 is in use, the mouthpiece 30 slides to the second locking position, and the liquid inlet 202 is opened by the mouthpiece 30, the aerosol-forming substrate in the liquid storage chamber 101 can enter the atomizing chamber 201 through the liquid inlet 202, thus being heated and atomized to form smoke. By sliding the mouthpiece 30 to adjust the locking positions of the mouthpiece 30, the communication relationship between the liquid storage chamber 101 and the atomizing chamber 201 can be changed, which is convenient for the user. At the same time, it can also effectively solve the problem of deterioration and leakage of the aerosol-forming substrate when the atomizer 100 is not used for a long time, and improve the user experience.
The liquid storage member 10 is generally in a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at the upper end thereof. The atomizing assembly 20 is installed at the lower end of the liquid storage member 10. The mouthpiece 30 is generally in a hollow structure with an opening at the lower end thereof.

The liquid absorbing member 22 and the heating member 23 are in contact with each other and are contained in the atomizing chamber 201, wherein the liquid absorbing member 22 is used to absorb the aerosol-forming substrate in the liquid storage chamber 101, the heating member 23 is used to heat the aerosol-forming substrate absorbed by the liquid absorbing member 22 so as to generate smoke. Specifically, the liquid absorbing member 22 is arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet 202 and is attached to the inner wall of the atomizing sleeve 21, and the heating member 23 is received in the inner cavity of the liquid absorbing member 22. In this embodiment, the liquid absorbing member 22 is cotton, and the heating member 23 is a spiral heating wire. It can be understood that in other embodiments not shown, the liquid absorbing member 22 may also be an element that is easy to absorb liquid, such as fiber rope, porous ceramics or porous graphite; the heating member 23 may also be a heating sheet, a heating net, etc. Alternatively, the whole combination of the liquid absorbing member 22 and the heating member 23 may also be replaced by an ultrasonic atomizing device, which is not limited here.
In addition, in a specific embodiment, there are two liquid inlets 202, and the two liquid inlets 202 are oppositely arranged on the side wall of the atomizing sleeve 21, so as to ensure that the aerosol-forming substrate can enter uniformly through both sides of the atomizing assembly 20, thereby ensuring uniform atomization and improving the taste. It can be understood that the liquid inlet 202 may also have only one or more than two.
In use, the user slides the mouthpiece 30 to the second locking position relative to the liquid storage member 10, at this time, the aerosol-forming substrate in the liquid storage chamber 101 enters the atomizing chamber 201 through the liquid inlet 202 and is absorbed by the liquid absorbing member 22, and after the heating member 23 is energized, the aerosol-forming substrate on the liquid absorbing member 22 is heated, so that the aerosol-forming substrate is atomized to form smoke under the action of heating.
Referring to FIG. 3 , in a specific embodiment, the mouthpiece 30 includes a mouthpiece casing 31 and a liquid sealing member 32. Specifically, the mouthpiece casing 31 is generally in a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at the lower end thereof. The liquid sealing member 32 is mounted in the mouthpiece casing 31, wherein the liquid sealing member 32 seals the opening of the liquid storage member 10, and the lower end of the mouthpiece casing 31 is sleeved on the outside of the liquid storage member 10. The first engaging portion 102 and the second engaging portion 103 are both provided on the inner wall of the mouthpiece casing 31. It can be understood that the liquid sealing member 32 is made of a sealing material with good sealing performance, such as silicone or rubber, to improve the sealing performance and prevent the aerosol-forming substrate in the liquid storage chamber 101 from leaking.
In a specific embodiment, the through hole 301 is provided in the liquid sealing member 32. A sealing tube 321 is formed at the lower end face of the liquid sealing member 32 corresponding to the through hole 301. The sealing tube 321 extends downward along the axial direction of the liquid sealing member 32. The sealing tube 321 has a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at two ends. The through hole 301 is partially formed by the inner cavity of the sealing tube 321. The sealing tube 321 slidably seals the atomizing sleeve 21. Specifically, when the mouthpiece 30 is slid, the inner wall of the sealing tube 321 can open or close the liquid inlet 202.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , in a specific embodiment, when the locking portion 302 is engaged with the second engaging portion 103, the axial distance between the lower end face of the sealing tube 321 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 101 is equal to the axial distance between the first engaging portion 102 and the second engaging portion 103. In this way, when the mouthpiece 30 moves to the first locking position, that is, when the locking portion 302 is engaged with the first engaging portion 102, the lower end face of the sealing tube 321 abuts against the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 101, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , such that the liquid storage chamber 101 is separated from the atomizing sleeve 21 of the atomizing assembly 20, and the atomizing sleeve 21 is prevented from being corroded and damaged due to long-term contact with the aerosol-forming substrate.
In addition, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the through hole 301 and the vertical cross-sectional shape of the atomizing sleeve 21 are both in a “convex” shape, so that the atomizing sleeve 21 and the through hole 301 cooperate with each other to limit the sliding distance of the mouthpiece 30 relative to the atomizing assembly 20.
In a specific embodiment, an air outlet 311 is provided on the top of the mouthpiece casing 31. The air outlet 311 is in communication with the inner cavity of the atomizing sleeve 21 of the atomizing assembly 20, thereby realizing the communication between the air outlet 311 and the atomizing cavity 201. During the user's suction operation, the smoke formed in the atomizing chamber 201 enters the user's mouth through the inner cavity of the atomizing sleeve 21 and the air outlet 311 in sequence.
In a specific embodiment, a mounting post 312 is projected downward from the inner wall of the upper end of the mouthpiece casing 31. The mounting post 312 passes through the liquid sealing member 32, so as to fix and limit the installation of the liquid sealing member 32. Further, the lower end of the mounting post 312 is provided with an abutting edge 313, and the abutting edge 313 abuts against the lower end face of the liquid sealing member 32, thus preventing the liquid sealing member 32 from separating easily from the mounting post 312. In this embodiment, there are two mounting posts 312, and the two mounting posts 312 are oppositely arranged, so as to improve the connection stability between the liquid sealing member 32 and the mouthpiece casing 31. It can be understood that in other embodiments not shown, the liquid sealing member 32 can also be connected with the mouthpiece casing 31 by means of clamping, gluing, etc. It can also be understood that the liquid sealing member 32 may be omitted, and in this case, the through hole 301 is provided in the mouthpiece casing 31, and the liquid inlet 202 of the atomizing assembly 20 is opened or closed by the mouthpiece casing 31.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , the atomizer 100 further includes a base 40. The base 40 is installed at one end of the liquid storage member 10 opposite to the mouthpiece 30. Two electrode poles 41 are installed at the bottom of the base 40, and the two electrode poles 41 are electrically connected with two pins of the atomizing assembly 20. Specifically, the two electrode poles 41 are electrically connected with two pins of the heating member 23 respectively. When the power supply device is connected with the atomizer 100, the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply device are electrically connected with the two electrode poles 41 respectively. Thus, the power supply device realizes the function of supplying power to the atomizing assembly 20. In addition, the connection method between the power supply device and the atomizer 100 can be threaded connection, clamping connection, etc., which is not limited here.
In addition, a venting member 105 is installed at the lower end of the mounting tube 104. The venting member 105 is generally in a hollow tubular structure with two ends being opened. An air inlet 401 is provided at the bottom of the base 40 corresponding to the venting member 105. The air inlet 401 is in communication with the external environment, and the inner cavity of the venting member 105 is in communication with the atomizing chamber 201 and the air inlet 401. When the user inhales, the external air can enter the atomizing chamber 201 through the air inlet 401 and the inner cavity of the venting member 105 in sequence, then mix with the generated smoke, and finally enter the user's mouth.
Further, a protruding structure is provided at the top of the venting member 105, and the upper opening of the venting member 105 penetrates the protruding structure. Thus, when there is excessive aerosol-forming substrate or condensate in the atomizing chamber 201, the above liquids will flow to both sides of the protruding structure, thus avoiding from flowing out from the opening of the venting member 105 to cause liquid leakage. In order to improve the sealing performance and prevent the leakage of the aerosol-forming substrate, the venting member 105 is made of a sealing material such as silicone or rubber.
In the aerosol generation device provided by the present disclosure, when the mouthpiece 30 slides to the first locking position, the mouthpiece 30 closes the liquid inlet 202, and at this time, the atomizing chamber 201 is separated from the liquid storage chamber 101, so as to prevent the atomizing assembly 20 from being damaged by long-term immersion in the aerosol-forming substrate. When the mouthpiece 30 slides from the first locking position to the second locking position, the mouthpiece 30 opens the liquid inlet 202 to enable the liquid inlet 202 to communicate with the liquid storage chamber 101, and at this time, the user can use the aerosol generation device normally. By sliding the mouthpiece 30 to adjust the locking positions of the mouthpiece 30, the communication relationship between the liquid storage chamber 101 and the atomizing chamber 201 can be changed, which is convenient for the user and can also effectively solve the problem of deterioration and leakage of the aerosol-forming substrate when the atomizer 100 is not used for a long time.
The aerosol generation device provided by the present disclosure has the same technical effects as the atomizer 100 because it has all the technical features of the atomizer 100.
Inspired by the above ideal embodiment based on the present disclosure, through the above description, relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the scope of the present disclosure.
