Abstract

An upper cover assembly includes an upper cover, a liquid filling cap movable relative to the upper cover between a usage position and a liquid filling position, and a mouthpiece. The upper cover is provided with a liquid filling hole and a smoke outlet hole. The liquid filling cap is provided with a through hole. The mouthpiece is integrally formed with the liquid filling cap and is in communication with the through hole. When the liquid filling cap is in the usage position, the liquid filling cap covers the liquid filling hole and the through hole is in communication with the smoke outlet hole. When the liquid filling cap is moved from the usage position to the liquid filling position, the liquid filling cap is displaced from the liquid filling hole and the liquid filling hole is opened.
