This application relates to the field of electronic vaporization devices and mounting method technologies, and in particular, to a seal member, a seal assembly, an electronic vaporization device, and a method for mounting the seal member.
In the related art, an electronic vaporization device mainly includes a vaporizer and a power supply device. The vaporizer heats and vaporizes a vapor generation substrate to form vapor that can be inhaled by an inhaler, and the power supply device is configured to supply power to the vaporizer. The vaporizer generally further includes a vaporization base configured to support a vaporization element, so that the vaporization element, an airflow channel, and a liquid storage cavity are suitably configured in the vaporizer to ensure smooth work. Because communication or conduction of air and liquid is involved, a seal member is generally required to be mounted between different components to perform sealing and isolation, which on one hand avoids poor inhalation experience caused by liquid leakage or air leakage, and on the other hand prevents some components such as a power supply, a printed circuit board (PCB), and a pneumatic switch from being corroded by liquid and affecting a service life of the electronic vaporization device. If the seal member is intended to achieve a good sealing and isolation effect, the seal member needs to closely fit with other components and may even need to be pressed. However, the existing electronic vaporization device has a compact structure and a complex component structure that needs to be isolated or sealed, and how to mount the seal member well to enable the seal member to achieve a good sealing and isolation effect becomes a problem to be urgently resolved.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a seal member for sealing a structural member in an electronic vaporization device, comprising: a main body portion configured to be attached to the structural member so as to provide a sealing function; and a traction portion connected to the main body portion and configured to pull the seal member such that the main body portion is attached to the structural member.
