Atomizer and electronic cigarette having same
An exemplary atomizer includes a main body, a liquid supply, a piercing element, and an atomizing assembly. The liquid supply is configured for storing tobacco liquid. The liquid supply is received in the main body. The liquid supply includes an end wall having a fixing part, a sealing part, and a recessed part. The recessed part connects the fixing part and the sealing part. The piercing element is spatially corresponding to the recessed part. The piercing element is configured for pricking the recessed part in response to an external force, so that the tobacco liquid in the liquid supply flows out, and the atomizing assembly absorbs the tobacco liquid flowed out for vaporization.
1. An atomizer for an electronic cigarette, comprising:
a main body;
a liquid supply configured for storing tobacco liquid, the liquid supply being received in the main body;
a piercing element; and
an atomizing assembly;
wherein the liquid supply comprises an end wall including a fixing part, a sealing part, and a recessed part, the recessed part connects the fixing part and the sealing part; the piercing element is spatially corresponding to the recessed part, the piercing element is configured for pricking the recessed part and damaging the recessed part in response to an external force, so that the tobacco liquid in the liquid supply flows out through the damaged recessed part, and the atomizing assembly absorbs the tobacco liquid flowing out of the liquid supply for vaporization;
wherein the main body defines a receiving space and a liquid chamber, the liquid supply is received in the receiving space, the main body comprises a partition plate for separating the receiving space and the liquid chamber, and the piercing element is formed on a surface of the partition plate facing the liquid supply; the partition plate defines a through hole allowing the tobacco liquid in the liquid supply to flow into the liquid chamber; the atomizing assembly absorbs the tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber for vaporization.
