the mounting base 1 and the seal member 3, and the air guide groove structure 151
communicates the liquid storage tank 4 with the atomization cavity 125. Therefore,

air pressure and hydraulic pressure in the liquid storage tank 4, capillary tension
and resistance of the air guide groove structure 151 to the cigarette liquid, and
the air pressure reach dynamic balance, thereby preventing occurrence of non-smooth
liquid flowing and liquid leakage of the atomizer 10 and improving the quality of
the atomizer 10.
[0064] Specifically, when the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 decreases to a negative
pressure threshold, the air in the atomization cavity 125 may enter the liquid storage
tank 4 via the air guide groove structure 151 to implement air exchange. Therefore,
the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 increases, thereby preventing occurrence
of non-smooth liquid flowing caused by excessively low air pressure in the cavity

storage tank 4 increases due to heating, the amount of cigarette liquid entering the
air guide groove structure 151 may increase, to further appropriately decrease the

the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4, and liquid may enter the plurality
of air guide groove structures 151 at the same time to decrease the air pressure in
the liquid storage tank 4. Therefore, the convenience of adjusting the air pressure

groove structures 151, so that the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 can be
quickly adjusted. There may be one air guide groove structure 151, and the number

[0095] In another optional embodiment, referring to FIG. 21, FIG. 21 is a schematic structural
diagram of an air exchange channel in an electronic atomization device according to
a ninth embodiment of the present disclosure. The air guide groove structure 151 further
includes a third air guide groove 1513 and a fourth air guide groove 1514. One of

[0097] The liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 flows to the atomization core 2 via the liquid
flowing hole 111. If the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 decreases, a speed
at which the liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 flows to the atomization core 2 through
the liquid flowing hole 111 is less than a speed at which the atomization core 2 atomizes
the liquid. Air is transmitted to the liquid storage tank 4 via the air exchange channel
15, to balance the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 and the external air
pressure.
[0098] In a specific embodiment, the user inhales the electronic atomization device 100.
The atomization core 2 atomizes cigarette liquid, the air pressure in the atomization
cavity 125 is greater than the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4, the atomization
cavity 125 is in communication with the external air, and the external air enters
the atomization cavity 125 via the air inlet hole 126. The air in the atomization
cavity 125 is pressed into the first air guide groove 1511 and the second air guide
groove 1512 due to an air pressure difference, the air in the first air guide groove
1511 enters the liquid storage tank 4 via the first air guide hole 1521, the air in
the second air guide groove 1512 enters the liquid storage tank 4 via the second air
guide hole 1522, and the air is transmitted to the liquid storage tank 4 via the first
air guide hole 1521 and the second air guide hole 1522. Therefore, the air pressure
in the liquid storage tank 4 and the air pressure in the atomization cavity 125 are
balanced, and the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 further enters the
atomization core 2 via the liquid flowing hole 111, so that the cigarette liquid in
the liquid storage tank 4 can be smoothly transmitted to the atomization core 2 via
the liquid flowing hole 111, thereby avoiding dry burning of the atomization core
2.
[0099] In a specific embodiment, the user inhales the electronic atomization device 100.
The atomization core 2 atomizes cigarette liquid, the external air pressure is greater
than the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4, and the external air is pressed
into the first air guide groove 1511 and the second air guide groove 1512 due to an
air pressure difference. The air in the first air guide groove 1511 enters the liquid
storage tank 4 via the first air guide hole 1521, the air in the second air guide
groove 1512 enters the liquid storage tank 4 via the second air guide hole 1522, and
the air is transmitted to the liquid storage tank 4 via the first air guide hole 1521
and the second air guide hole 1522. Therefore, the air pressure in the liquid storage
tank 4 and the external air pressure are balanced, and the cigarette liquid in the
liquid storage tank 4 further enters the atomization core 2 via the liquid flowing
hole 111, so that the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 can be smoothly
transmitted to the atomization core 2 via the liquid flowing hole 111, thereby avoiding
dry burning of the atomization core 2.
[0100] In a specific embodiment, the user inhales the electronic atomization device 100.
The atomization core 2 atomizes cigarette liquid, the air pressure in the atomization
cavity 125 is greater than the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4, the atomization
cavity 125 is in communication with the external air, the external air enters the
atomization cavity 125 via the air inlet hole 126, the air in the atomization cavity
125 is pressed into the first air guide groove 1511 and the second air guide groove
1512 due to an air pressure difference, and the air in the first air guide groove
1511 enters the liquid storage tank 4 via the first air guide hole 1521. When an amount
of the air transmitted by the first air guide groove 1511 is greater than an amount
of the air transmitted by the first air guide hole 1521, the third air guide groove
1513 transmits air that is not transmitted in the first air guide groove 1511 to the
liquid storage tank 4 via the liquid flowing hole 111. When an amount of the air transmitted
by the second air guide groove 1512 is greater than an amount of the air transmitted
by the second air guide hole 1522, the fourth air guide groove 1514 transmits air
that is not transmitted in the second air guide groove 1512 to the liquid storage
tank 4 through the liquid flowing hole 111. Since the first air guide hole 1521, the
second air guide hole 1522, and the liquid flowing hole 111 transmit air to the liquid
storage tank 4, the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 and the air pressure
in the atomization cavity 125 are balanced, and the cigarette liquid in the liquid
storage tank 4 further enters the atomization core 2 via the liquid flowing hole 111,
so that the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 can be smoothly transmitted
to the atomization core 2 via the liquid flowing hole 111, thereby avoiding dry burning
of the atomization core 2.
[0101] The atomizer 10 further includes a seal member 3, and the seal member 3 is provided
between the mounting base 1 and the atomization core 2. The seal member 3 may be a

[0102] The porous substrate 21 is in communication with the liquid stored in the storage
tank 4 and absorbs liquid from the liquid storage tank 4 by a capillary force; and
the heating element 22 is configured to heat and atomize the liquid of the porous
substrate 21. In an embodiment, the porous substrate 21 includes an cigarette liquid
transmission portion 211 and a protruding portion 212 integrally formed on one side
of the cigarette liquid transmission portion 211, and the leaked liquid buffer structure
122 is in contact with a periphery of one side surface of the cigarette liquid transmission
portion 211 provided with the protruding portion 212. A surface of the protruding
portion 212 away from the cigarette liquid transmission portion 211 is a atomization
surface 214, a surface of the cigarette liquid transmission portion 211 in contact
with cigarette liquid is a liquid absorbing surface 213, and the leaked liquid buffer
structure 122 is in contact with an edge of the side surface of the cigarette liquid
transmission portion 211 provided with the protruding portion 212. That is, the leaked
liquid buffer structure 122 is provided in contact with an edge of the cigarette liquid
transmission portion 211 and is provided at intervals with the protruding portion
212, so that the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 can be prevented from being damaged
by high temperature of the heating element 22 on the atomization surface 214. The
heating element 22 is provided on the atomization surface 214. Specifically, the heating
element 22 may be a heating film or may be a heating circuit. In a specific embodiment,
the heating element 22 is electrically connected to an electrode, and one end of the
electrode passes through a foundation base 121 to be connected to the power supply
assembly 202. Specifically, the cigarette liquid transmission portion 211 and the
protruding portion 212 are integrally formed, and the cigarette liquid transmission
portion 211 and the protruding portion 212 are both made of porous materials. For
example, the materials of the cigarette liquid transmission portion 211 and the protruding
portion 212 may be a porous ceramic or a porous metal, but are not limited to the
two materials, provided that the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 can
be transmitted to the heating element 22 through capillary action for atomization.
The cigarette liquid transmission portion 211 only covers a part of the leaked liquid
buffer structure 122. The capillary force of the porous substrate 21 is greater than
the capillary force of the leaked liquid buffer structure 122, and when the heating
element 22 heats and atomizes the liquid of the porous substrate 21, the liquid received
by the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 may reflux to the porous substrate 21 and
is heated and atomized.
[0103] The mounting base 1 includes the atomization cavity 125, the atomization core 2 is
accommodated in the atomization cavity 125, and the leaked liquid buffer structure
122 is connected to the bottom of the atomization cavity 125 and absorbs liquid deposited
at the bottom of the atomization cavity 125 by a capillary force. The mounting base
1 includes the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12. The lower base body
12 includes the foundation base 121, the liquid flowing hole 111 is provided on the
upper base body 11, the cigarette liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 flows to the
porous substrate 21 through the liquid flowing hole 111. The leaked liquid buffer
structure 122 is provided on the lower base body 12, the porous substrate 21 includes

surface 213 is connected to the liquid flowing hole 111, the heating element 22 is
provided on the atomization surface 214, and the porous substrate 21 is in contact
with the leaked liquid buffer structure 122.
[0104] When the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 increases, the air pressure in
the liquid storage tank 4 is greater than the air pressure in the atomization cavity
125, an air pressure difference between the liquid storage tank 4 and the atomization
cavity 125 presses the liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 to the porous substrate
21, so that redundant liquid overflows from the porous substrate 21, and the leaked
liquid buffer structure 122 receives and locks the overflowed redundant liquid. When
the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 decreases, the air pressure in the liquid
storage tank 4 is less than the air pressure in the atomization cavity 125, the air
pressure difference between the liquid storage tank 4 and the atomization cavity 125
enables the liquid in the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 to reflux to the porous
substrate 21 in contact with the leaked liquid buffer structure through capillary
action, and the porous substrate 21 refluxes the liquid to the liquid storage tank
4.
[0105] In this embodiment, the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 are integrally
formed. Alternatively, a groove 112 may be provided on the upper base body 11, and
a clamp member 124 is provided on an outer side wall of the lower base body 12 and
is configured to be clamped to the groove 112 on the upper base body 11, so that the
lower base body 12 is fixedly connected to the upper base body 11.
[0106] A material of the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 is a porous material, and the
porous material may be a hard porous material or may be a soft porous material.
[0107] When the material of the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 is a hard porous material,

base 121 is not less than a contact size between the cigarette liquid transmission
portion 211 and the first support sub-member 1271 and the second support sub-member

through cooling and flow to the foundation base 121, and the cigarette liquid is collected
through the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 extending to the surface of the foundation
base 121. Meanwhile, the volume of each bubble in the cigarette liquid in the liquid
storage tank 4 may shrink to decrease the air pressure in the liquid storage tank
4. Since there is an air pressure difference between the inside and the outside of
the liquid storage tank 4, the cigarette liquid collected and stored in the leaked
liquid buffer structure 122 flows, along the leaked liquid buffer structure 122, to
