The use of the atomizer 100 of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, when the connecting ring 312 is coupled to the connecting seat 13 by the engagement of the external thread 3121 and the internal thread 131, the upper cover assembly 30 is threadedly coupled to the reservoir assembly 10. The latching groove 143 of the rotating snap ring 14 to the snap ring 14 is aligned with the latching teeth 3112 of the upper cover 31, and the snap ring 14 is pulled toward the upper cover assembly 30. When the latching teeth 3112 pass through the latching slot 143, the resisting portion The 142 and the latch 3112 are interpenetrated to further rotate the snap ring 14 such that the latch 3112 is partially or completely opposite the abutment portion 142 on the snap ring 14. The snap ring 14 is released, and the lower surface of the abutting portion 142 and the upper surface of the latching teeth 3112 are mutually engaged by the resetting action of the elastic member 16. At this time, when the upper cover assembly 30 is rotated, the snap ring 14 rotates together due to the frictional force between the resisting portion 142 and the latching teeth 3112, thereby preventing the resisting portion 142 from being separated from the latching teeth 3112, thereby limiting the upper cover assembly 30. The upward movement along the axial direction of the atomizer 100 tends to lock the threaded connection between the upper cap assembly 30 and the reservoir assembly 10 such that the upper cap assembly 30 and the reservoir assembly 10 are not easily disassembled.

When the liquid storage assembly 10 and the upper cover assembly 30 need to be disassembled, the snap ring 14 needs to be slid upward, and the snap ring 14 compresses the elastic member 16, so that the resisting portion 142 and the latching teeth 3112 are separated, and the snap ring 14 is further rotated to make the card slot. 143 is aligned with the latching teeth 3112, so that the resisting portion 142 and the latching teeth 3112 can be inserted into each other, whereby the snap ring 14 slides down and is reset by the elastic force of the elastic member 16, and at this time, the upper cover assembly 30 and the storage The locking relationship of the fluid assembly 10 is released, thereby enabling the upper cap assembly 30 to be unscrewed from the reservoir assembly 10.

It can be understood that, in addition to the screw connection between the upper cover assembly 30 and the liquid storage assembly 10, other detachable connection manners may be adopted, for example, an engagement groove is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the connection seat 13, and the upper cover is provided. The outer peripheral surface of the connecting ring 312 of the 31 is provided with a snap member, so that the upper cover assembly 30 and the liquid storage assembly 10 are detachably connected by snapping; for example, the connecting seat 13 and the connecting ring 312 are made of a magnetic material. The upper cover assembly 30 and the liquid storage assembly 10 are detachably connected by magnetic connection.

It will be appreciated that the elastic member 16 can be omitted. After the elastic member 16 is omitted, the reset of the snap ring 14 needs to be completed by manually sliding the snap ring 14 downward in the case where the card slot 143 is aligned with the latch 3112. Alternatively, the snap ring 14 is made of an elastic material. Thus, after the elastic member 16 is omitted, the snap ring 14 can still be automatically reset by the elastic force.

It will be appreciated that the pressure ring 15 can be omitted. After the pressure ring 15 is omitted, the snap ring 14 can be movably disposed on the connecting seat 13 by other means, for example, a ring groove is opened on the outer side of the connecting seat 13 along the circumferential direction of the connecting seat 13, the ring groove has a certain Height, the lower abutting portion 141 is defined between the upper and lower groove walls of the annular groove, thereby allowing the snap ring 14 to rotate not only around the central axis of the liquid storage assembly 10, but also at the annular groove The axial movement of the liquid storage assembly 10 is within a range defined by the upper and lower groove walls.

It can be understood that when the snap ring 14 is made of an elastic material, the snap ring 14 can not open the card slot 143. At this time, the snap ring 14 is not required to rotate, and the snap ring 14 can be elastically deformed, so that the snap ring can be made. 14 is provided with one end of the abutting portion 142 to move, and finally the lower surface of the abutting portion 142 and the upper surface of the latching tooth 3112 are mutually engaged.

The atomizer 100 provided by the present invention needs to first slide the snap ring 14 upward and further rotate the snap ring 14 to separate the resisting portion 142 on the snap ring 14 from the latching teeth 3112 on the upper cover 31. The detachable connection between the upper cover assembly 30 and the reservoir assembly 10 can be further removed. The disassembly process is complicated in operation, and it is difficult for a child to achieve by a single action, thereby effectively preventing the child from easily opening the nebulizer 100 to contact or ingesting the smoke liquid. The present invention also provides an electronic cigarette having the atomizer 100 described above, which has the same technical features as the atomizer 100 described above, and thus has the same technical effects as the atomizer 100 described above.
