As such, the airflow channel 40 of the atomization device 100, which extends through the cartridge module 10, can facilitate the flow of smoke along the airflow channel 40 that is formed by heating the e-liquid. The sensor 50, which is electrically connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22, can facilitate the atomization device 100 to sense the airflow in the airflow channel 40. Therefore, the sensor 50 can send a signal according to the sensed airflow to the battery module 20, thereby controlling the battery module 20 to energize the cartridge module 10.

In one embodiment, the airflow channel 40 may be located in the middle area of the cartridge module 10, and extend through the cartridge module 10 along the length direction of the atomization device 100.

The second end 31b of the first conductive member 31 may be electrically connected to the first electrode 21 through the sensor 50. The insulation post 35 is provided on the second end 31b of the first conductive member 31 located in the second receiving space 335. The insulation post 35 may be a post of insulation rubber or plastic. The length of the insulation post 35 along the length direction of the atomization device 100 may be greater than 3 mm. The depth of the first conductive member 31 embedded in the insulation post 35 may be greater than 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm. A first elastic piece 351 protrudes from the insulation post 35. A second elastic piece 352 protrudes from the second end 31b of the first conductive member 31. A third elastic piece 353 protrudes from the second conductive member 32. The second elastic piece 352 and the third elastic piece 353 may be located in the second receiving space 335.

Referring to FIG. 13, the wires connecting the sensor 50 may include a first wire 51, a second wire 52, and a third wire 53. The first wire 51 and the second wire 52 can be connected in series through the sensor 50. The first wire 51 is further connected to the first electrode 21 of the battery 24 and the first elastic piece 351. The second wire 52 is further connected to the second elastic piece 352. The third wire 53 is further connected to the third elastic piece 353. The second end 31b of the first conductive member 31 is sealed by the insulation post 35, so that the first conductive member 31 cannot be directly connected to the first electrode 21. Instead, the first conductive member 31 is connected to the first wire 51 through the second wire 52 that is connected to the second elastic piece 352, thereby allowing the first conductive member 31 to connect to the first electrode 21 of the battery 24.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 13, in one embodiment, the sensor 50 is located on an end of the battery module 20 away from the connection module 30. Referring to FIGS. 14, in another embodiment, the airflow channel 40 may further extend through the connection module 30. The sensor 50 may be located on the connection module 30.

By setting the sensor 50 on the battery module 20 or the connection module 30, the airflow in the airflow channel 40 can be sensed, so that the atomization device 100 can be operated based on the sensed airflow in the airflow channel 40.

In one embodiment, when the sensor 50 is located at the end of the battery module 20 away from the connection module 30, the sensor 50 may be located inside the housing 23 of the battery module 20 and adjacent to the end of the battery 24 away from the connection module 30. In another embodiment, when the sensor 50 is located on the connection module 30, the sensor 50 may be integrated on the connection module 30, for example, by an integration manner. At this time, the sensor 50 may be electrically connected to the second end 31b of the first conductive member 31 through a wire, and further electrically connected to the second end 32b of the second conductive member 32 through another wire. Thus, the sensor 50 can be connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 of the battery module 20, and the working state of the battery 24 can be controlled based on the sensed airflow in the airflow channel 40.
