The electronic atomization device 100 can be used to atomize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol, which can be smoked or inhaled by the user. In this application, In embodiments, it may be substantially cylindrical. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the electronic atomization device 100 may also be in other shapes such as an elliptical column, a flat column, a square column, or the like. The liquid substrate may include e-liquid or medicinal liquid.
该电子雾化装置100可包括外壳10以及收容于外壳10中的控制模块20、电源30、气源40和储液雾化组件60。控制模块20与气源40电连接,用于接收指令,该指令可由用户触发或者在电子雾化装置100满足一定条件后自动触发,控制模块20再根据该指令控制气源40的工作。电源30分别与控制模块20、气源40电连接,用于向控制模块20、气源40提供电能。The electronic atomization device 100 may include a housing 10 and a control module 20 , a power supply 30 , an air source 40 and a liquid storage atomization assembly 60 housed in the housing 10 . The control module 20 is electrically connected to the air source 40 for receiving instructions. The instructions can be triggered by the user or automatically triggered after the electronic atomization device 100 meets certain conditions. The control module 20 then controls the operation of the air source 40 according to the instructions. The power supply 30 is electrically connected to the control module 20 and the air source 40 respectively, and is used to provide electric energy to the control module 20 and the air source 40 .
储液雾化组件60包括储液壳61以及至少部分收容于储液壳61中的喷嘴62。其中,储液壳61内形成有用于存储液态基质的储液腔610,喷嘴62内形成有气流通道622,储液雾化组件60内还形成有连通储液腔610和气流通道622的阻力供液通道611,以使储液腔610内的液态基质能够经由阻力供液通道611流到气流通道622。气源40与气流通道622连接,用于提供高速气流在气流通道622中流通,其通常可以为气泵。从阻力供液通道611进入到气流通道622的液态基质能够受气流通道622中流通的高速气流作用而产生雾化,形成细小的液体颗粒。The liquid storage atomization assembly 60 includes a liquid storage case 61 and a nozzle 62 at least partially received in the liquid storage case 61 . Among them, a liquid storage chamber 610 for storing liquid substrate is formed in the liquid storage shell 61, an air flow channel 622 is formed in the nozzle 62, and a resistance supply connecting the liquid storage cavity 610 and the air flow channel 622 is also formed in the liquid storage atomization assembly 60. Liquid channel 611, so that the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 610 can flow to the air flow channel 622 through the resistance liquid supply channel 611. The air source 40 is connected to the air flow channel 622 and is used to provide high-speed air flow in the air flow channel 622. It can usually be an air pump. The liquid matrix entering the air flow channel 622 from the resistance liquid supply channel 611 can be atomized by the high-speed air flow flowing in the air flow channel 622 to form fine liquid particles.
阻力供液通道611包括与气流通道622相连通的供液末段621以及连通供液末段621和储液腔610的主体段612。该供液末段621可以为毛细通道,即液态基质在供液末段621内能够产生毛细力。在一些实施例中,供液末段621的截面积可小于0.08mm²。The resistance liquid supply channel 611 includes a liquid supply end section 621 connected with the air flow channel 622 and a main body section 612 connected with the liquid supply end section 621 and the liquid storage chamber 610 . The final liquid supply section 621 can be a capillary channel, that is, the liquid matrix can generate capillary force in the final liquid supply section 621 . In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the liquid supply end section 621 may be less than 0.08mm².
由于在抽吸结束后,气源40停止工作,由高速气流在阻力供液通道611内产生的负压消失,阻力供液通道611内的液态基质向喷嘴62方向流动的动力消失,而储液腔610内存在负压,该储液腔610内的负压会回吸供液末段621内的液态基质,从而造成下一次抽吸时供液不及时。因此,通过将阻力供液通道611靠近气流通道622的供液末段621设计为毛细通道,并保证供液末段621具有一套关键尺寸(例如,通道截面积和通道长度),利用供液末段621内的毛细力来减少回流,以实现即起即停的稳定供液,防止气源40停止工作时液态基质回流至储液腔610而造成下一次抽吸时供液延迟。Since the air source 40 stops working after the suction is completed, the negative pressure generated by the high-speed air flow in the resistance liquid supply channel 611 disappears, and the power for the liquid matrix in the resistance liquid supply channel 611 to flow toward the nozzle 62 disappears, while the liquid storage There is a negative pressure in the chamber 610, and the negative pressure in the liquid storage chamber 610 will suck back the liquid matrix in the final liquid supply section 621, causing the liquid supply to be delayed during the next suction. Therefore, by designing the liquid supply end section 621 of the resistance liquid supply channel 611 close to the air flow channel 622 as a capillary channel, and ensuring that the liquid supply end section 621 has a set of critical dimensions (for example, channel cross-sectional area and channel length), the liquid supply can be utilized The capillary force in the final section 621 reduces backflow to achieve a stable liquid supply that starts and stops, and prevents the liquid substrate from flowing back to the liquid storage chamber 610 when the gas source 40 stops working, causing a delay in liquid supply during the next suction.
图4示出了在停止抽吸、气源40停止工作后,液态基质200在供液末段621内的受力情况。气源40停止工作后,供液末段621内的液态基质向喷嘴62方向流动的动力消失,供液末段621内的液态基质200在气液交界面201上的受力情况以及液面运动情况为:Figure 4 shows the stress situation of the liquid matrix 200 in the final liquid supply section 621 after the suction is stopped and the air source 40 stops working. After the air source 40 stops working, the power of the liquid substrate in the final liquid supply section 621 to flow toward the nozzle 62 disappears. The force on the liquid substrate 200 in the final liquid supply section 621 on the gas-liquid interface 201 and the movement of the liquid surface The situation is:
若ΔP =ΔP,则液面经过短暂的向储液腔610方向运动后停止,在下一次气源40启动时有短时延迟; If ΔP gross = ΔP, then the liquid level will stop after a short movement in the direction of the liquid storage chamber 610, and there will be a short delay when the air source 40 is started next time;
若ΔP <ΔP,则液面会持续向储液腔610方向运动,直到有足够的液态基质回流到储液腔610,使得ΔP因储液腔610液面回升而降低至与ΔP 平衡,液面运动才会停止,此时会在阻力供液通道611内形成相对很大的空腔,造成在下一次气源40启动时会有较长时间延迟; If ΔP gross < ΔP, the liquid level will continue to move toward the liquid storage chamber 610 until enough liquid matrix flows back to the liquid storage chamber 610, so that ΔP is reduced to balance with ΔP gross due to the rise of the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 610. The liquid level movement will stop, and a relatively large cavity will be formed in the resistance liquid supply channel 611 at this time, resulting in a long delay when the air source 40 is started next time;
若ΔP >ΔP,则液面不会回流,可在下一次气源40启动时即时雾化。 If ΔP gross > ΔP, the liquid level will not flow back and can be atomized immediately when the air source 40 is started next time.
其中,ΔP=储液腔610内的负压-储液腔610内液态基质的重力,ΔP =供液末段621内的毛细力。 Among them, ΔP = negative pressure in the liquid storage chamber 610 - gravity of the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 610, ΔP = capillary force in the final liquid supply section 621.
在一些实施例中,供液末段621的截面积为0.07mm²(或孔径0.3mm),通道长度≥2mm,气源40停止工作时供液末段621内的液态基质不会因储液腔610内的负压向储液腔610回流,可达到即时启动的效果。在另一些实施例中,供液末段621的截面积可以为0.05mm²,通道长度≥1mm,也可实现即起即停的稳定供液。在一些实施例中,供液末段621的水力直径小于等于0.3mm,也可实现即起即停的稳定供液。通常,供液末段621的截面积越小,需要达到即时启动的效果所需的供液末段621的通道长度越小。In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the final liquid supply section 621 is 0.07mm² (or aperture 0.3mm), and the channel length is ≥ 2mm. When the air source 40 stops working, the liquid matrix in the final liquid supply section 621 will not be affected by the liquid storage chamber. The negative pressure in 610 flows back to the liquid storage chamber 610, which can achieve the effect of instant start. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the liquid supply end section 621 can be 0.05mm², and the channel length is ≥1mm, which can also achieve stable liquid supply that starts and stops. In some embodiments, the hydraulic diameter of the final liquid supply section 621 is less than or equal to 0.3 mm, and stable liquid supply that starts and stops can also be achieved. Generally, the smaller the cross-sectional area of the final liquid supply section 621 is, the smaller the channel length of the final liquid supply section 621 is required to achieve the effect of instant start.
此外,再如图3及图5-8所示,阻力供液通道611还可用于控制供液至气流通道622的流量,实现气流通道622的定量供液,保证供液至气流通道622的流量达到设计值。通常,可按照流量需求匹配设计阻力供液通道611的尺寸,即在设计流量下阻力供液通道611能产生匹配供液动力的阻力。具体地,气流通道622内产生的负压为供液动力,而供液阻力则包括阻力供液通道611的沿程阻力以及储液腔610内的负压。通过计算设计流量下阻力供液通道611所需的沿程阻力,设计阻力供液通道611的具体直径与长度。In addition, as shown in Figures 3 and 5-8, the resistance liquid supply channel 611 can also be used to control the flow rate of liquid supply to the air flow channel 622, to achieve quantitative liquid supply to the air flow channel 622, and to ensure the flow rate of liquid supply to the air flow channel 622. reach the design value. Generally, the size of the designed resistance liquid supply channel 611 can be matched according to the flow demand, that is, the resistance liquid supply channel 611 can generate resistance that matches the liquid supply power under the design flow rate. Specifically, the negative pressure generated in the air flow channel 622 is the liquid supply power, and the liquid supply resistance includes the resistance along the liquid supply channel 611 and the negative pressure in the liquid storage chamber 610 . By calculating the resistance required along the resistance liquid supply channel 611 under the design flow rate, the specific diameter and length of the resistance liquid supply channel 611 are designed.
通常来说,液态基质的粘度越大,则液态基质在阻力供液通道611中流通时的阻力越大;阻力供液通道611的长度越越长,则阻力供液通道611内的阻力越大;阻力供液通道611的截面积越大,阻力供液通道611内的阻力越小;阻力供液通道611的曲折程度越多,阻力供液通道611内的阻力越大。在一些实施例中,液态基质的粘度为20cp~250cp;阻力供液通道611的整体长度为6mm~15mm。供液末段621、主体段612均为沿横向延伸的直线形通道,且供液末段621、主体段612的中轴线重合。主体段612为弱毛细力通道,即液态基质在主体段612内能够产生弱毛细力。主体段612的截面积大于供液末段621的截面积,在一些实施例中,主体段612的截面积范围可以为0.09 mm²~0.16mm²。在其他实施例中,主体段612也可以为非直线形延伸的通道,例如S形或方波形等。Generally speaking, the greater the viscosity of the liquid matrix, the greater the resistance of the liquid matrix when flowing in the resistance liquid supply channel 611; the longer the length of the resistance liquid supply channel 611, the greater the resistance in the resistance liquid supply channel 611. ; The larger the cross-sectional area of the resistance liquid supply channel 611, the smaller the resistance in the resistance liquid supply channel 611; the more tortuous the resistance liquid supply channel 611 is, the greater the resistance in the resistance liquid supply channel 611. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the liquid matrix is 20cp~250cp; the overall length of the resistance liquid supply channel 611 is 6mm~15mm. The final liquid supply section 621 and the main body section 612 are both linear channels extending laterally, and the central axes of the final liquid supply section 621 and the main body section 612 coincide with each other. The main body section 612 is a weak capillary force channel, that is, the liquid matrix can generate weak capillary force in the main body section 612 . The cross-sectional area of the main body section 612 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the final liquid supply section 621. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the main body section 612 can range from 0.09 mm² to 0.16 mm². In other embodiments, the main body segment 612 may also be a non-linear extending channel, such as an S-shape or a square wave shape.
在本实施例中,供液末段621形成于喷嘴62内,主体段612形成于储液壳61内。喷嘴62大致具有圆柱状外形,其可沿纵向穿设于储液壳61中并可与储液壳61同轴设置。气流通道622沿纵向贯穿喷嘴62并可与喷嘴62同轴设置。供液末段621由喷嘴62的一侧侧面沿横向向内延伸至与气流通道622相连通,供液末段621的延伸方向与气流通道622的延伸方向垂直。可以理解地,在其他实施例中,喷嘴62的外形也可呈椭圆形或方形等其他形状。在另一些实施例中,供液末段621也可部分形成于喷嘴62内,部分形成于储液壳61内;或者,也可以是主体段612部分形成于喷嘴62内,部分形成于储液壳61内。In this embodiment, the final liquid supply section 621 is formed in the nozzle 62 , and the main section 612 is formed in the liquid storage shell 61 . The nozzle 62 generally has a cylindrical shape, which can be longitudinally inserted into the liquid storage case 61 and can be disposed coaxially with the liquid storage case 61 . The airflow channel 622 runs through the nozzle 62 longitudinally and may be coaxially disposed with the nozzle 62 . The liquid supply end section 621 extends laterally inward from one side of the nozzle 62 to communicate with the air flow channel 622 , and the extension direction of the liquid supply end section 621 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the air flow channel 622 . It is understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the nozzle 62 may also be in other shapes such as an ellipse or a square. In other embodiments, the liquid supply end section 621 can also be partially formed in the nozzle 62 and partially formed in the liquid storage shell 61; or, the main body section 612 can also be partially formed in the nozzle 62 and partially formed in the liquid storage shell. inside the shell 61.
气流通道622可包括供气通道623和雾化腔625。雾化腔625通过供气通道623与气源40连接,并通过供液末段621与储液腔610相连通。雾化腔625靠近供气通道623的一端端面形成雾化面6250,雾化面6250上还形成有雾化口6251。来自供气通道623的高速气流经由雾化口6251喷出到雾化腔625内并在雾化腔625中高速流动,高速气流由伯努利方程在供液末段621内产生负压,此负压传导至储液腔610将储液腔610内的液态基质吸出至雾化腔625,在雾化面6250上形成液膜。随着供液过程的持续进行,液膜运动到雾化口6251的孔壁边缘与高速气流相遇,被高速气流切割雾化成细小的液体颗粒,该液体颗粒再被气流带离雾化口6251,之后随气流喷出完成雾化过程。该液态基质在雾化腔625内的雾化方式为非相变的雾化方式,雾化腔625雾化后形成的液体颗粒的粒径分布可达到SMD=30μm范围内。其中,SMD=液体颗粒总体积/液体颗粒总表面积,表示了液体颗粒的平均粒径。The air flow channel 622 may include an air supply channel 623 and an atomization chamber 625. The atomization chamber 625 is connected to the air source 40 through the air supply channel 623, and is connected to the liquid storage chamber 610 through the final liquid supply section 621. An atomization surface 6250 is formed on an end surface of the atomization chamber 625 close to the air supply channel 623, and an atomization port 6251 is also formed on the atomization surface 6250. The high-speed airflow from the air supply channel 623 is sprayed into the atomization chamber 625 through the atomization port 6251 and flows at high speed in the atomization chamber 625. The high-speed airflow generates a negative pressure in the final liquid supply section 621 according to Bernoulli's equation. The negative pressure is transmitted to the liquid storage chamber 610 to suck the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 610 to the atomization chamber 625, and a liquid film is formed on the atomization surface 6250. As the liquid supply process continues, the liquid film moves to the edge of the hole wall of the atomization port 6251 and meets the high-speed airflow, and is cut and atomized by the high-speed airflow into fine liquid particles. The liquid particles are then taken away from the atomization port 6251 by the airflow. Then it is sprayed out with the airflow to complete the atomization process. The liquid matrix is atomized in the atomization chamber 625 in a non-phase change atomization mode. The particle size distribution of the liquid particles formed after atomization in the atomization chamber 625 can reach the range of SMD=30 μm. Among them, SMD = total volume of liquid particles/total surface area of liquid particles, which represents the average particle size of liquid particles.
雾化腔625为直柱状通道,其孔壁面与雾化面6250垂直。在本实施例中,雾化腔625为直圆柱形通道,雾化面6250为同心圆环状,雾化面6250的内壁面界定出雾化口6251。在其他实施例中,雾化腔625、雾化面6250或雾化口6251的横截面也可以是椭圆形或矩形等其他非圆形状。The atomization chamber 625 is a straight cylindrical channel, and its hole wall is perpendicular to the atomization surface 6250. In this embodiment, the atomization chamber 625 is a right cylindrical channel, the atomization surface 6250 is in the shape of concentric rings, and the inner wall surface of the atomization surface 6250 defines the atomization port 6251. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the atomization chamber 625, the atomization surface 6250, or the atomization port 6251 may also be an ellipse, a rectangle, or other non-circular shapes.
雾化口6251、雾化腔625的尺寸和形状等参数能够影响雾化腔625内负压的大小以及生成的液体颗粒的粒径大小,并可使流量更稳定。在一些实施例中,雾化口6251的孔径D、雾化腔625的孔径W1、雾化腔625的长度H可根据需要设置合适的尺寸。Parameters such as the size and shape of the atomization port 6251 and the atomization chamber 625 can affect the negative pressure in the atomization chamber 625 and the particle size of the generated liquid particles, and can make the flow rate more stable. In some embodiments, the aperture D of the atomization port 6251, the aperture W1 of the atomization chamber 625, and the length H of the atomization chamber 625 can be set to appropriate sizes as needed.
具体地,雾化口6251的孔径D与从雾化口6251出来的气流速度(m/s)相关,其能够影响生成的液体颗粒的粒径大小。在一些实施例中,雾化口6251的孔径D的范围可以为0.2mm~0.4mm ,优选为0.22mm~0.35mm。Specifically, the aperture D of the atomization port 6251 is related to the airflow speed (m/s) coming out of the atomization port 6251, which can affect the particle size of the generated liquid particles. In some embodiments, the aperture D of the atomization port 6251 may range from 0.2mm to 0.4mm, preferably from 0.22mm to 0.35mm.
雾化腔625的孔径W1会影响雾化腔625中的气流流速大小,从而影响雾化腔625、供液末段621内的负压大小。该负压可使液态基质从供液末段621吸至雾化腔625。在一些实施例中,雾化腔625的孔径W1的范围可以为0.7mm~1.3mm。雾化腔625的长度H可以为0.8mm~3.0mm。可以理解地,在其他实施例中,雾化口6251或雾化腔625也可具有非圆横截面;当雾化口6251或雾化腔625具有非圆横截面时,雾化口6251的孔径D或雾化腔625的孔径W1分别为其当量直径。术语“当量直径”是指,把水力半径相等的圆孔的直径定义为非圆孔的当量直径。The aperture W1 of the atomization chamber 625 will affect the airflow velocity in the atomization chamber 625, thereby affecting the negative pressure in the atomization chamber 625 and the final liquid supply section 621. This negative pressure can cause the liquid substrate to be sucked from the final liquid supply section 621 to the atomization chamber 625 . In some embodiments, the aperture W1 of the atomization chamber 625 may range from 0.7 mm to 1.3 mm. The length H of the atomization chamber 625 may be 0.8mm~3.0mm. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the atomization port 6251 or the atomization chamber 625 may also have a non-circular cross-section; when the atomization port 6251 or the atomization chamber 625 has a non-circular cross-section, the aperture of the atomization port 6251 D or the aperture W1 of the atomization chamber 625 is its equivalent diameter respectively. The term "equivalent diameter" means that the diameter of a circular hole with the same hydraulic radius is defined as the equivalent diameter of a non-circular hole.
进一步地,在一些实施例中,D的范围为0.22mm~0.35mm,H的范围为1.5mm~3.0mm,W1的范围为0.7mm~1.3mm,该D、H、W1的取值范围能够使喷嘴62在制造工艺上得到优势。Further, in some embodiments, the range of D is 0.22mm~0.35mm, the range of H is 1.5mm~3.0mm, and the range of W1 is 0.7mm~1.3mm. The value ranges of D, H, and W1 can be This gives the nozzle 62 advantages in the manufacturing process.
供液末段621与雾化腔625相连通的一端具有一供液口6210,该供液口6210与雾化面6250之间的距离L是保证液膜形成的关键。在本实施例中,供液口6210与雾化面6250之间的距离L为供液口6210的中心与雾化面6250之间的垂直距离。在一些实施例中,供液口6210与雾化面6250之间的距离L的范围可以为0.3mm~0.8mm,较佳地,L为0.35mm~0.6mm。The end of the liquid supply end section 621 that communicates with the atomization chamber 625 has a liquid supply port 6210. The distance L between the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomization surface 6250 is the key to ensuring the formation of a liquid film. In this embodiment, the distance L between the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomization surface 6250 is the vertical distance between the center of the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomization surface 6250. In some embodiments, the distance L between the liquid supply port 6210 and the atomization surface 6250 may range from 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm. Preferably, L is 0.35 mm to 0.6 mm.
进一步地,气流通道622还包括扩张通道626,该扩张通道626与雾化腔625远离供气通道623的一端连通,用于将雾化腔625内雾化后生成的液体颗粒以射流的形式扩散喷出,增大液体颗粒的喷射面积。扩张通道626的横截面积由靠近雾化腔625的一端到远离所述雾化腔625的一端逐渐增大。具体地,在本实施例中,扩张通道626为沿纵向延伸且孔径由下往上逐渐增大的圆锥形通道。扩张通道626的雾化角α(即扩张通道626的扩张角)须具有合适的范围,以保证喷射出的液体颗粒具有合适的喷射范围。在一些实施例中,扩张通道626的雾化角α可以为30 0~70 0。进一步地,扩张通道626与雾化腔625之间还可采用流线型平滑连接,例如通过倒圆角的方式相切。在其他实施例中,扩张通道626也可以为椭圆锥形状或金字塔形状等其他形状。 Further, the air flow channel 622 also includes an expansion channel 626, which is connected to an end of the atomization chamber 625 away from the air supply channel 623, and is used to diffuse the liquid particles generated after atomization in the atomization chamber 625 in the form of a jet. Spray out to increase the spray area of liquid particles. The cross-sectional area of the expansion channel 626 gradually increases from an end close to the atomization chamber 625 to an end far away from the atomization chamber 625 . Specifically, in this embodiment, the expansion channel 626 is a conical channel that extends longitudinally and has a hole diameter that gradually increases from bottom to top. The atomization angle α of the expansion channel 626 (that is, the expansion angle of the expansion channel 626) must have a suitable range to ensure that the ejected liquid particles have a suitable injection range. In some embodiments, the atomization angle α of the expansion channel 626 may be 30 0 ~70 0 .

Correspondingly, a back-suction channel 624 is also formed in the nozzle 62 to connect the liquid guide channel 6135 with the atomization chamber 625 .

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the suction channel 624 and the final liquid supply section 621 are arranged rotationally symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the nozzle 62, so that the installation direction does not need to be considered when assembling the nozzle 62.
此外,储液壳61还可形成有将储液腔610与外界相连通的换气通道6140,该换气通道6140可用于恢复储液腔610内的压力,利用喷嘴62的负压区和换气通道6140相配合,实现向喷嘴62的自动稳定供液,解决因储液腔610内负压过大而不能稳定供液的问题。在抽吸过程中,储液腔610内液态基质减少会带来气压降低,降低至极限换气负压会由换气通道6140换气泡进入储液腔610,恢复储液腔610负压。通常,可控制储液腔610的负压范围为-200Pa ~ -700Pa。可以理解地,在其他实施例中,也可采用其他自动或非自动的供液方式实现对喷嘴62的定量稳定供液,例如,可通过采用小型供液泵(例如隔膜泵或蠕动泵等)对储液腔610进行加压,保持维持供液的稳定性,实现对喷嘴62的定量稳定供液;或者,也可将储液腔610的腔壁设置成柔性且内部没有空气的腔壁,来解决储液腔610负压过大不能供液的问题。In addition, the liquid storage shell 61 can also be formed with a ventilation channel 6140 that connects the liquid storage chamber 610 with the outside world. The ventilation channel 6140 can be used to restore the pressure in the liquid storage chamber 610 by utilizing the negative pressure area of the nozzle 62 and the ventilation channel 6140 . The air channel 6140 cooperates to realize automatic and stable liquid supply to the nozzle 62, thereby solving the problem of unable to stably supply liquid due to excessive negative pressure in the liquid storage chamber 610. During the suction process, the reduction of the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 610 will cause the air pressure to decrease. When the negative ventilation pressure reaches the limit, air bubbles will enter the liquid storage chamber 610 through the ventilation channel 6140, and the negative pressure of the liquid storage chamber 610 will be restored. Generally, the controllable negative pressure range of the liquid storage chamber 610 is -200Pa ~ -700Pa.

Specifically, the liquid-locking groove 6252 can be formed on the side of the atomization surface 6250 opposite to the liquid supply end section 621. The inner diameter of the liquid-locking groove 6252 is consistent with the aperture of the atomization chamber 625.
