The channel inside the hollow tube 51, the inner diameter of the first liquid suction assembly 3 and the inner diameter of the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece tube 1t may be substantially the same. In some embodiments, the channel inside the hollow tube 51, the inner diameter of the first liquid suction assembly 3 and the inner diameter of the inner wall of the mouthpiece tube 1t may be different.

The heating core 53 can also be embedded in the hollow tube 51 , and extend toward the outside of the hollow tube 51 to be exposed to the outer wall surface of the hollow tube 51 . In addition, the opening of the through-flow channel 4c at the bottom 42 is larger than the outer diameter of the heating element 5 , and the opening of the through-flow channel 4c at the connecting pipe 4t1 is smaller than the outer diameter of the heating element 5 . Therefore, when the heating element 5 is installed in the through-flow channel 4c, the heating element 5 can only enter from the bottom 42, and cannot enter the through-flow channel 4c from the connecting pipe 4t1.

The steps are used to support the heating element 5 . When the condensate with volatile material flows down, the condensate will flow to the annular groove 62 corresponding to the inner wall surface of the heating assembly 5 to prevent the condensate from flowing into the aerosol channel 100c or the oil cup base 7 .

As demonstrated in FIG. 3C , in some embodiments, the conductive pillars 6p1 , 6p2 have a second engaging structure 65 . The second engaging structures 65 are used for engaging the first engaging structures 44 of the heating element top cover 4 respectively, as shown in FIG. 4E . In some embodiments, the second engaging structure 65 is an annular groove corresponding to the annular protrusion of the first engaging structure 44 .

3A and 3B, the oil cup base 7 has a guide groove 72, third conductive channels 7h1, 7h2, positioning grooves 7h3, 7h4, air inlet holes 7h5, 7h6 and hollow guide columns 7c1, 7c2. The third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 are respectively located on both sides of the guide groove 72 . The third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 penetrate through the oil cup base 7 , and the third conductive channels 7h1 and 7h2 correspond to the second conductive channels 6h1 and 6h2 of the heating element base 6 . The positioning grooves 7h3 and 7h4 are located on both sides of the guide groove 72 and correspond to the positioning holes 6h3 and 6h4 of the base body 61 respectively. In this way, when the heating element top cover 4 , the heating element base 6 and the oil cup base 7 are assembled together, the positioning posts 4p1 and 4p2 can pass through the positioning holes 6h3 and 6h4 and the positioning grooves 7h3 and 7h4 to reach the heating element top cover 4 , The effect of positioning the heating element base 6 and the oil cup base 7 with each other, as shown in Figure 4E.

The second liquid absorbing component 71 is used to absorb the atomizable liquid, such as e-liquid, from the aerosol channel 100c and the heating component 5 . The shape of the second liquid suction component 71 and the guide groove 72 can be "H-shaped" to avoid the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2. As shown in FIG. 4E , the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 are between the columnar conductive structures 7p1 and 7p2 , but the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 are not in the center, that is, they do not pass through the central axis L. In addition, the extending directions L1 and L2 of the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 do not intersect with the extending direction (aerosol channel 100c ) of the first liquid suction component. In some embodiments, the extending directions L1 and L2 of the hollow guide columns 7c1 and 7c2 are parallel to but not intersecting with the extending direction of the first liquid suction component (ie, the extending direction of the aerosol channel 100c). As shown in Figs. 3D, 4E, 4F and 4G, when the air inlet holes 7h5, 7h6 of the airflow hollow guide columns 7c1, 7c2 enter the oil cup base 7, the guide column 6p3 changes the airflow G1 (as shown in Fig. 3D) originally In the direction of straight forward movement, the airflow G1 is re-introduced into the guide groove 72 . Afterwards, the airflow enters the atomizing chamber 40 in the top cover 4 of the heating element in the axial direction and through the perforation in the guide post 6p3 of the heating element base 6 . This non-linear airflow guiding method can effectively prevent the atomizable material and its condensate from flowing out of the air inlet holes 7h5 and 7h6 of the oil cup base 7 of the oil storage assembly 100A.

As shown in FIG. 3C , in some embodiments, the oil storage assembly housing 2 has a snap hole 23 , and the oil cup base 7 includes a snap block 73 .

In some embodiments, the charging guide 19 may be a pogo pin (or referred to as a spring probe), which may be disposed between the power supply assembly 20 and the main body housing 22 . The charging guide 19 can be in direct contact with the surface 20S of the power supply assembly 20 and the inner wall of the main body casing 22 .

In some embodiments, the magnetic guides 18a, 18b may be of the same polarity (magnetic polarity) facing the outside of the atomizing device 100 (eg, in the direction toward the opening 22h1, or in the direction opposite to the oil storage assembly 100A). ). For example, both are S poles, or both are N poles. When the magnetic conductors 18a, 18b face the opposite direction of the oil storage assembly (ie, face the outside of the atomizing device 100) and have the same polarity, when the atomizing device 100 needs to be connected to an external accommodating device with a corresponding polarity ( For example, when the atomizing device 100 is placed in the external device with the front or the back, it can be normally adsorbed to the external device and charged normally through the charging guide 19 when the atomizing device 100 is placed in the external device, such as a charging box or a charging stand.

In addition, in other embodiments, the magnetic guide members 18a, 18b may face opposite directions of the oil storage assembly (ie, face the outside of the atomizing device 100 ) with different polarities (ie, opposite polarities). That is, one of the magnetic conductors 18a and 18b is the N pole, and the other of the magnetic conductors 18a and 18b is the S pole. When the magnetic guide members 18a and 18b facing the outside of the atomizing device 100 have different polarities, when the atomizing device 100 is placed in the external accommodating device in different directions, the magnetic guiding members in the external device may cause fogging When the atomizing device 100 pops up, the user can immediately know that the atomizing device 100 is inserted into the charging case in the wrong direction.

6 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional view of the atomizing device 100 disposed on the side of the accommodating device 200 according to some embodiments of the present invention. As demonstrated in FIG. 6 , the atomizing device 100 can be accommodated in a accommodating device 200 . For example, the accommodating device 200 can have an accommodating groove 210 , and the accommodating groove 210 can be used for accommodating the atomizing device 100 . On the other hand, in some embodiments, the accommodating device 200 can be used for a charging function to charge the atomizing device 100 . In some embodiments, the accommodating device 200 may include a magnetic attraction component 220 , and the magnetic attraction component 220 is disposed below one end of the accommodating slot 210 .

In some embodiments, the normal L3 of the central axis extending from the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 does not penetrate through the magnetic guides 18a and 18b of the atomizing device 100 , and the top surface 222 of the magnetic component 220 is adjacent to The tangent line L4 of the side 224 of the atomizing device 100 passes through the magnetic guide members 18 a and 18 b corresponding to the main body 100B of the atomizing device 100 . That is to say, the magnetic guide members 18a and 18b are closer to the middle area of the accommodating device 200 than the magnetic attraction component 220 . For example, when the top surface 222 of the magnetic attraction component 220 is the N pole, the end surface 18c of the magnetic guide member 18a facing the outside of the atomizing device 100 (opposite the direction of the oil storage component 100A) is the S pole, and the magnetic guide member 18b is facing the The end face 18d outside the atomizing device 100 (in the direction opposite to the oil storage assembly 100A) is the N pole. Since the top surface 222 of the magnetic attraction component 220 and the magnetic guide member 18a which is closer among the magnetic guide members 18a and 18b are attracted to each other, the atomizing device 100 can be correctly installed in the designated position of the accommodating device 200 . Since the top surface 222 of the magnetic attraction component 220 and the magnetic guide member 18b that is farther from the magnetic guide members 18a and 18b repel each other, it can be avoided that the magnetic guide member 18a causes the opposite side of the atomizing device 100 (ie, the magnetic guide member 18a) due to the excessive magnetic attraction force. The end edge of the cigarette holder cover 1 of the oil storage assembly 100A is lifted or popped open. Therefore, the magnetic guide member 18b has the effect of stably disposing the atomizing device 100 in the accommodating device 200 .

In some embodiments, if the charging case or charging base corresponding to the atomizing device 100 does not have opposite polarities (electrical polarities), the adjustment circuit 24 on the charging circuit board 23 can be configured to adjust the power from the charging conductor. 19 current to complete charging. Therefore, no matter when the atomizing device 100 is inserted into the charging box or the charging stand in the forward or reverse direction, the adjustment circuit 24 can be configured to adjust the charging current to complete the charging of the atomizing device 100 . For example, assuming that power is supplied to the first power input point P1 (not shown in the figure) and the second power input point P2 (not shown in the figure) of the charging circuit board 23 through the charging guide 19 , the first power input point P2 (not shown in the figure) of the charging circuit board 23 . The first circuit output T1 is the positive (+) output, and the second circuit output point T2 is the negative (-) output. In the first case, when the power input point P1 receives a positive power supply and the second power input point P2 receives a negative power supply, by adjusting the configuration of the switch circuit module of the circuit 24, the first circuit can output Point T1 (not shown in the figure) is the positive pole, and the second circuit output point T2 (not shown in the figure) is the negative pole. In the second case, when the power input received by the power input point P1 is the negative power source, and the power input received by the second power input point P2 is the positive power source, by adjusting the configuration of the switch circuit module of the circuit 24, the Adjust the output point T1 of the first circuit to be positive, and the output point T2 of the second circuit to be negative. Therefore, no matter how the polarities of the first power input point P1 and the second power input point P2 change, the first circuit output point T1 and the second circuit output point T2 always maintain a fixed output polarity through the adjustment circuit 24, and supply power to the lower stage Circuits, such as power components 20 and/or main circuit board 15 .

In some embodiments, the inner wall of the oil storage assembly housing 2 may have a plurality of ribs, spaced apart from each other. The ribs may extend parallel to each other axially.
