Abstract

An exemplary atomizer includes a main body, an atomizing component received in the main body, and a liquid chamber configured for receiving tobacco liquid. The atomizing component is configured for generating aerosol from the tobacco liquid. The atomizing component and the liquid chamber cooperatively define a liquid passage therebetween. The atomizer further includes a liquid blocking element defining a notch. The liquid blocking element is capable of rotating relative to the main body between a first position where the liquid blocking element prevents the tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber from flowing into the liquid passage, and a second position where the notch is in alignment with the liquid passage, so that the tobacco liquid flows to the atomizing component via the liquid passage.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An atomizer, comprising:
a main body;
an atomizing component received in the main body and comprising a liquid conducting element;
a liquid chamber configured for receiving tobacco liquid, the atomizing component being configured for generating aerosol from the tobacco liquid; and
a holder configured for connecting with an external power supply, wherein the liquid conducting element is fixedly connected with the holder, and the holder is rotatable relative to the main body;
wherein the atomizing component and the liquid chamber cooperatively defining a liquid passage therebetween; the atomizer further comprises a liquid blocking element defining a notch, the liquid blocking element is capable of rotating relative to the main body between a first position where the liquid blocking element prevents the tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber from flowing into the liquid passage, and a second position where the notch is in alignment with the liquid passage, so that the tobacco liquid flows to the atomizing component via the liquid passage.

2. The atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizing component comprises a heating element and the liquid conducting element is in contact with the heating element, the liquid conducting element is configured for absorbing the tobacco liquid, and the heating element is configured for heating the tobacco liquid in the liquid conducting element.

3. The atomizer according to claim 2 , wherein the main body defines a buffer chamber communicating with the liquid passage, and ends of the liquid conducting element insert into the buffer chamber.

4. The atomizer according to claim 1 , further comprising an air pipe assembly configured for expelling aerosol generated by the atomizing component, wherein the liquid chamber surrounds the air pipe assembly.

5. The atomizer according to claim 4 , wherein the liquid blocking element is substantially cylindrical, and is positioned between a bottom end of the air pipe assembly and the main body, and the atomizing component is arranged in the liquid blocking element.

6. The atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid blocking element defines a first groove and a second groove in an outer surface, the first and the second grooves cooperatively form a predetermined arc angle; the main body comprises an elastic pin matching with the first and the second grooves, when the liquid blocking element is rotated, the elastic pin is selectively engaged in the first or the second grooves.

7. The atomizer according to claim 6 , wherein an arc angle formed between the first and the second grooves is 180 degrees.

8. An aerosol inhaling device, comprising:
an atomizer according to claim 1 ; and
a power supply configured for supplying the atomizer power.

9. The aerosol inhaling device according to claim 8 , wherein the power supply is also configured for driving the liquid blocking element to rotate when rotated.

10. The aerosol inhaling device according to claim 8 , wherein the atomizer and the power supply are coupled by a magnetic connection.

11. An atomizer, comprising:
a main body;
an atomizing component received in the main body; and
a liquid chamber configured for receiving tobacco liquid, the atomizing component being configured for generating aerosol from the tobacco liquid;
wherein the atomizing component and the liquid chamber cooperatively defining a liquid passage therebetween; the atomizer further comprises a liquid blocking element defining a notch, the liquid blocking element is capable of rotating relative to the main body between a first position where the liquid blocking element prevents the tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber from flowing into the liquid passage, and a second position where the notch is in alignment with the liquid passage, so that the tobacco liquid flows to the atomizing component via the liquid passage; and
wherein the liquid blocking element defines a first groove and a second groove in an outer surface, the first and the second grooves cooperatively form a predetermined arc angle; the main body comprises an elastic pin matching with the first and the second grooves, when the liquid blocking element is rotated, the elastic pin is selectively engaged in the first or the second grooves.
