Considering the economical practicality of the electronic cigarette, a silicone sealing plug is provided on the cartridge housing in which the liquid storage cavity is provided, and in use, the silicone sealing plug needs to be pulled out in order to perform liquid injection operation. However, it is troublesome to pull out and reinstall the silicone sealing plug. At the same time, the e-liquid attached to the silicone sealing plug pulled out during liquid injection is likely to come into contact with the user or other objects, thereby causing pollution and a poor user experience.
- Based on the above, it is necessary to provide a liquid storage assembly with a simple structure and convenient liquid injection, as well as a cartridge and an electronic cigarette.

FIGs. 1 to 4 and10 , the present disclosure provides an electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette includes acartridge 100 and a power supply device (not shown) electrically connected to thecartridge 100, wherein thecartridge 100 includes aliquid storage assembly 10 and an atomizing head 20. In use, the e-liquid in theliquid storage assembly 10 enters the atomizing head 20, the power supply device supplies power to the atomizing head 20, and the atomizing head 20 atomizes the e-liquid to generate smoke for the user to inhale. - The
liquid storage assembly 10 includes a cartridge housing having aliquid storage cavity 111 therein and amovable member 12 rotatably provided on the cartridge housing. The cartridge housing is provided with aliquid injection hole 112 communicating with theliquid storage cavity 111. Themovable member 12 is located on one side of theliquid injection hole 112. Rotating themovable member 12 can enable themovable member 12 to be staggered from theliquid injection hole 112 so as to expose theliquid injection hole 112, or enable themovable member 12 to close theliquid injection hole 112. When themovable member 12 is staggered from theliquid injection hole 112 to expose theliquid injection hole 112, the user can inject e-liquid into theliquid storage cavity 111 through theliquid injection hole 112. When themovable member 12 closes theliquid injection hole 112, theliquid storage cavity 111 communicating with theliquid injection hole 112 is also closed, the e-liquid in theliquid storage cavity 111 cannot flow out, and the user cannot perform the liquid injection operation. - In one embodiment, the cartridge housing includes an
outer casing 11 and a sealing member. Theouter casing 11 is generally a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at the lower end. Theliquid storage cavity 111 is formed by the inner cavity of theouter casing 11. The sealing member is installed at one end of theouter casing 11 for sealing theliquid storage cavity 111. Avent tube 13 is formed on the top of theouter casing 11 by extending downward along the axial direction of theouter casing 11. The upper end of thevent tube 13 passes through the upper end surface of theouter casing 11, and the opening at the upper end of thevent tube 13 forms as asmoke outlet opening 113. The lower end of thevent tube 13 is connected with the atomizing head 20. The inner cavity of thevent tube 13 forms as asmoke outlet channel 131. When the user performs a suction operation, the smoke generated by the atomization of the e-liquid by the atomizing head 20 passes through thesmoke outlet channel 131 and then enters the user's mouth through thesmoke outlet opening 113. - In one embodiment, as shown in
FIGs. 5 to 11 , theliquid injection hole 112 is provided on the sealing member. Themovable member 12 is connected to the sealing member and located on one side of theliquid injection hole 112. When the user performs the liquid injection operation, theliquid storage assembly 10 is firstly adjusted to the state where theliquid injection hole 112 is located on the top, and then themovable member 12 is rotated, so that themovable member 12 is staggered from theliquid injection hole 112 to expose theliquid injection hole 112; and finally, a liquid injection tool (for example, a liquid injection needle) is used to inject e-liquid into theliquid storage cavity 111 through theliquid injection hole 112. - The
movable member 12 includes amain body 121. Rotating themovable member 12 can make themain body 121 cover theliquid injection hole 112 so as to close theliquid injection hole 112. Or, rotating themovable member 12 can make themain body 121 and theliquid injection hole 112 stagger from each other to expose theliquid injection hole 112, so that e-liquid can be injected into theliquid storage cavity 111 through theliquid injection hole 112. - In a specific embodiment, the
movable member 12 further includes arotating shaft 122 protruding from themain body 121 and a limitingmember 123 disposed at one end of therotating shaft 122 relative to themain body 121. The sealing member is provided with amating hole 155. Therotating shaft 122 is rotatably installed in themating hole 155. The limitingmember 123 is sleeved on one end of therotating shaft 122 away from themain body 121 and abuts against themating hole 155 to prevent themovable member 12 from falling off the sealing member. - One end surface of the sealing member is partially recessed to form a
groove 142. The side wall of thegroove 142 is provided with anabutting edge 145. Theliquid injection hole 112 is provided on the bottom wall of thegroove 142.
