Abstract

A vaporizer and an electronic vaporization device is provided. The vaporizer includes a liquid storage cavity to store a liquid substrate; a seal element partially sealing the liquid storage cavity; a holder to support the seal element to locate the seal element between the holder and the liquid storage cavity; and a first air channel, providing a first flowing path for air to enter the liquid storage cavity, where the first air channel is partially defined by the holder, and has an air outlet end formed on a surface of the holder; the seal element has a blocking part configured to seal the air outlet end; and the blocking part has a free end away from a center of the seal element, and the free end is configured to bend or deform in response to a negative pressure change in the liquid storage cavity, to open the air outlet end.

Claims (49)

1 . A vaporizer, configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol for inhaling, comprising: a liquid storage cavity configured to store the liquid substrate; and further comprising:

a heater, in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity, and configured to heat the liquid substrate to generate the aerosol;

a sealer, at least partially sealing the liquid storage cavity;

a holder, configured to support the sealer to locate the sealer between the holder and the liquid storage cavity; and

a first air channel, providing a first flowing path for air to enter the liquid storage cavity, wherein the first air channel is at least partially defined by the holder, and has an air outlet end formed on a surface of the holder;

wherein:

the sealer comprises a main part and a blocking part configured to seal the air outlet end;

the blocking part extends from the main part,

the blocking part has a connecting end that is connected to the main part and a free end away from a center of the sealer,

the free end is farther away from a center of the sealer than the connecting end, and

the free end is configured to bend or deform in response to a negative pressure change in the liquid storage cavity, to open the air outlet end.

2 . The vaporizer according to claim 1 , wherein the sealer comprises a slit or groove partially surrounding the blocking part, and the blocking part is defined by the slit or the groove.

3 . The vaporizer according to claim 2 , wherein the slit or groove is constructed to bend toward the center of the sealer.

4 . The vaporizer according to claim 1 , wherein the blocking part is constructed to extend along a cross section direction of the vaporizer.

5 . The vaporizer according to claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of the first air channel at least partially gradually decreases along a direction pointing toward the air outlet end.

6 . The vaporizer according to claim 5 , wherein the inner diameter of the first air channel at least partially decreases in a step-shaped manner along the direction pointing toward the air outlet end.

7 . The vaporizer according to claim 1 , wherein the holder is provided with a protruding edge surrounding the air outlet end of the first air channel, and the blocking part is constructed to abut the protruding edge, to seal the air outlet end.

8 . The vaporizer according to claim 1 , wherein the holder at least partially defines a second air channel, to provide a second flowing path for air to enter the liquid storage cavity, and a porous body material is arranged in the second air channel.

9 . The vaporizer according to claim 8 , wherein the sealer is provided with a through hole opposite to the second air channel, and the air in the second air channel enters the liquid storage cavity through the through hole.

10 . The vaporizer according to claim 9 , further comprising:

an air inlet, wherein:

an outer wall of the holder is provided with a concave cavity in airflow communication with the air inlet, and an air inlet end of the second air channel is in communication with the concave cavity.

11 . The vaporizer according to claim 1 , wherein an air pressure at an air inlet end of the first air channel is the same as an atmospheric pressure.

12 . A vaporizer, configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol for inhaling, comprising: a liquid storage cavity configured to store the liquid substrate; and further comprising:

a heater, in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity, and configured to heat the liquid substrate to generate the aerosol;

a sealer, at least partially sealing the liquid storage cavity;

a holder, configured to support the sealer to locate the sealer between the holder and the liquid storage cavity; and

a first air channel, providing a first flowing path for air to enter the liquid storage cavity, wherein the first air channel is at least partially defined by the holder, and has an air outlet end formed on a surface of the holder; and

the sealer comprises an end wall and a side wall extending from the end wall and at least partially surrounding the holder, the end wall is provided with a bent slit to define and form a suspended blocking part configured to seal the air outlet end, the blocking part comprises a free end and a connection end configured to connect to other parts of the sealer, the connection end is more distant from an edge position of the end wall than the free end, and the edge position is a position in an outer edge of the end wall that is closer to the free end.

13 . A vaporizer, configured to vaporize a liquid substrate to generate an aerosol for inhaling, comprising: a liquid storage cavity configured to store the liquid substrate; and further comprising:

a heater, in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity, and configured to heat the liquid substrate to generate the aerosol;

a sealer, at least partially sealing the liquid storage cavity;

a holder, configured to support the sealer to locate the sealer between the holder and the liquid storage cavity; and

an air channel, at least partially defined by the holder, and configured to provide a flowing path for air to enter the liquid storage cavity, wherein a porous body material is arranged in the air channel;

wherein:

the sealer comprises a main part and a blocking part configured to seal the air outlet end;

the blocking part extends from the main part,

the blocking part has a connecting end that is connected to the main part and a free end away from a center of the sealer,

the free end is farther away from a center of the sealer than the connecting end, and

the free end is configured to bend or deform in response to a negative pressure change in the liquid storage cavity, to open the air outlet end.

14 . The vaporizer according to claim 13 , wherein the sealer is provided with a through hole opposite to the air channel, and air in the air channel enters the liquid storage cavity through the through hole.

15 . The vaporizer according to claim 14 , wherein a pore diameter of the through hole is less than an inner diameter of the air channel.

16 . The vaporizer according to claim 13 , wherein the porous body material is located at a position next to an air outlet end of the air channel.

17 . The vaporizer according to claim 13 , further comprising:

an air inlet, wherein:
