According to the vaporization device 100 in an embodiment of this application, the vaporization device 100 includes an upper housing 10 and a main body 20. The upper housing 10 may be fitted and connected to the main body 20 through the connection portion 12 and the locking portion 22. When the locking portion 22 and the connection portion 12 are in the first state A, the liquid injection channel 11 is in communication with the liquid storage tank 21, so that the liquid can be injected into the liquid storage tank 21 through the liquid injection channel 11. After the liquid injection ends, the locking portion 22 and the connection portion 12 are switched to the second state B, and the seal member 23 can block the liquid injection channel 11 to prevent the liquid from leaking out from the liquid storage tank 21. In this way, during assembly, the upper housing 10 and the main body 20 are integrally formed, and the locking portion 22 and the connection portion 12 may perform liquid injection through the liquid injection channel 11 after being in the first state A. After the liquid injection is completed, the locking portion 22 and the connection portion 12 are directly controlled to switch to the second state B, which is easy to operate, improves operation efficiency, and reduces a risk of poor liquid leakage.
In the related art, during the assembly of the vaporization device, the assembly of the vaporization device and the liquid injection operation are performed separately. In order to facilitate the liquid injection operation, the upper housing and the main body are required to be completely separated and transported to a position for liquid injection. After the liquid is injected into the liquid storage tank, in order to avoid the process time of liquid injection is excessively long to affect quality of the liquid, the mouthpiece needs to be fixed to the main body with snaps or rivets through press-fit.
In an embodiment of this application, the upper housing 10 and the main body 20 have two connection states. When the locking portion 22 and the connection portion 12 are in the first state A, the upper housing 10 and the main body 20 are in a pre-installed integral form. In this way, the upper housing 10 and the main body 20 can be transported together to the position for liquid injection for the liquid injection, and a cost of transportation and packaging can be reduced. Meanwhile, after the liquid injection is completed, the first state A may be directly switched to the second state B to realize the complete fixation of the upper housing 10 and the main body 20. In this case, the upper housing 10 and the main body 20 cannot switch the state, and a user can perform the liquid injection in other manners.
