     FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     The present disclosure relates to a nebulizer and a medicine containing and nebulizing assembly thereof, and more particularly to a portable nebulizer and a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly thereof. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     In the related art, a nebulizing method for the treatment of respiratory diseases is a more popular medical method in recent years. A nebulizer can be used in the nebulizing method to spray nebulized aerosols each has a particle size of about 3 to 5 µm, so that the nebulized aerosols can reach the bronchus and lungs for therapy. The procedure typically involves inhaling the nebulized aerosols from the medicinal liquid through mouths and noses of patients to enter the bronchus, and the particles of the nebulized aerosols are then spread to the whole alveolus so that the medicinal liquid can be sufficiently absorbed by the human body. This method of delivery is more direct and efficient than oral administration. Currently, the nebulizing method adapted by the nebulizer generally includes use of a pneumatic nebulization module, or an ultrasonic nebulization module (such as using a nebulizer mesh plate), configured for an operating mechanism of the nebulizer. However, there is still room for improvement in the related art for use of the nebulizer.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS 
     The present disclosure is more particularly described in the following examples that are intended as illustrative only since numerous modifications and variations therein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Like numbers in the drawings indicate like components throughout the views. As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the meaning of “a”, “an” and “the” includes plural reference, and the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on”. Titles or subtitles can be used herein for the convenience of a reader, which shall have no influence on the scope of the present disclosure. 
     The terms used herein generally have their ordinary meanings in the art. In the case of conflict, the present document, including any definitions given herein, will prevail. The same thing can be expressed in more than one way. Alternative language and synonyms can be used for any term(s) discussed herein, and no special significance is to be placed upon whether a term is elaborated or discussed herein. A recital of one or more synonyms does not exclude the use of other synonyms. The use of examples anywhere in this specification including examples of any terms is illustrative only, and in no way limits the scope and meaning of the present disclosure or of any exemplified term. Likewise, the present disclosure is not limited to various embodiments given herein. Numbering terms such as “first”, “second” or “third” can be used to describe various components, signals or the like, which are for distinguishing one component/signal from another one only, and are not intended to, nor should be construed to impose any substantive limitations on the components, signals or the like. 
     Referring to  FIG.  1    to  FIG.  17   , the present disclosure provides a portable nebulizer P which includes a nebulizer main body N (such as a nebulizer main device) and a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S, and the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S is disposed on the nebulizer main body N and electrically connected to the nebulizer main body N. More particularly, the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S at least includes a medicine storage module  1  (such as a medicine containing module), a nebulizing module  2  and an induction module  3 . The medicine storage module  1  includes a medicine storage casing  10  (such as a medicine containing casing), and the medicine storage module  1  has a medicine storage space  1000  (such as a medicine containing space) formed in the medicine storage casing  10  and a first through hole  1001  communicated with the medicine storage space  1000 . The nebulizing module  2  includes a nebulizing device  21  disposed in the medicine storage module  1  and a first conductive structure  22  electrically connected between the nebulizing device  21  and the nebulizer main body N. The induction module  3  includes at least one metal induction element  31  disposed in the medicine storage module  1  and a second conductive structure  32  electrically connected between the at least one metal induction element  31  and the nebulizer main body N. It should be noted that the medicine storage casing  10  has an inner surrounding area located in the medicine storage space  1000  and surrounding the first through hole  1001 , and the at least one metal induction element  31  has at least one exposed induction portion  310  exposed on the inner surrounding area for receiving a signal generated by the nebulizing device  21 . In the present disclosure, the signal can be a contact signal (such as an electronic signal) or a non-contact signal (such as a radio frequency (RF) signal). 
     Therefore, when a predetermined medicinal liquid L (or a predetermined medicinal liquid) contained in the medicine storage space  1000  is nebulized through the nebulizing device  21 , the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  can be transmitted to a microprocessor  6  through the induction module  3 . In a preferred embodiment, when the number of the exposed induction portions  310  exposed on the inner surrounding area is at least three, the three exposed induction portions  310  can be located on the same horizontal plane and surround the first through hole  1001 , and the exposed induction portions  310  can be disposed on the same metal induction element  31   or different metal induction elements  31 . Thereby, when the nebulizing device  21  is configured to be used for the nebulization, if the nebulizer main body N is placed upright, the predetermined medicinal liquid L contained in the medicine storage space  1000  can simultaneously contact the exposed induction portions  310 , so that the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  can be inducted by the exposed induction portions  310 . In addition, when the nebulizing device  21  is configured to be used for the nebulization, if the nebulizer main body N is placed in an inclined position (for example, the nebulizer main body N is inclined relative to a vertical line at an inclination angle greater than or equal to 30 degrees), the predetermined medicinal liquid L contained in the medicine storage space  1000  will only contact a part of the exposed induction portion  310 , so that the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  will not be inducted by the exposed induction portion  310  that does not contact the predetermined medicinal liquid L, and the missing signal will not be transmitted to the microprocessor  6  by the induction module  3 . Therefore, when the microprocessor  6  fails to receive the corresponding signal, the nebulizer main body N will remind the user to confirm the use state. However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     Based on the above description, for example, when the volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  is enough to contact the exposed induction portion  310 , the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  can be completely transmitted through the predetermined medicinal liquid L and received by the induction module  3 , and then transmitted to the microprocessor  6  so as to use the microprocessor  6  to obtain a strength of a first signal. Furthermore, when the volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  decreases and fails to contact the exposed induction portion  310 , the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  needs to be transmitted through the predetermined medicinal liquid L and the air in sequence and received by the induction module  3 , or can only be transmitted through the air and received by the induction module  3 , and then transmitted to the microprocessor  6  so as to use the microprocessor  6  to obtain a strength of a second signal, in which the strength of the second signal is less than the strength of the first signal. In a preferred embodiment, when the volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  is decreased and does not contact the exposed induction portion  310 , a residual volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid will be equal to or less than 0.4 ml. Therefore, when the difference between the strength of the first signal and the strength of the second signal is greater than a predetermined differential value, or when the strength of the second signal is equal to or lower than a strength of a predetermined signal, the nebulizer main body N is configured to stop supplying the power to the nebulizing device  21  so as to achieve the effect of automatically turning off the nebulizing device  21  (or automatically turning off the portable nebulizer P). However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     [First Embodiment] 
     Referring to  FIG.  1    to  FIG.  8   , a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S, and a portable nebulizer P using the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S, and the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S includes a medicine storage module  1 , a nebulizing module  2  and an induction module  3 .

     Furthermore, referring to  FIG.  1   ,  FIG.  3    and  FIG.  4   , the induction module  3  includes at least one metal induction element  31  disposed in the medicine storage module  1  and a second conductive structure  32  (or an electrode structure) electrically connected to the at least one metal induction element  31 , and the metal induction element  31  has at least one exposed induction portion  310  exposed on the inner surrounding area for receiving a signal generated by the nebulizing device  21 . For example, the metal induction element  31  of the induction module  3  is partially exposed from the inner surrounding area of the medicine storage casing  10 , so that the exposed induction portion  310  of the metal induction element  31  can be exposed in the medicine storage space  1000 . Moreover, the second conductive structure  32  of the induction module  3  passes through the carrier seat  11 , so that an electrode contact portion  320  of the second conductive structure  32  can be exposed outside the carrier seat  11  (that is to say, the electrode contact portion  320  of the second conductive structure  32  can be exposed from a bottom side of the carrier seat  11 ). In addition, when the metal induction element  31  is a horizontal metal induction element, the metal induction element  31  can be electrically connected to the second conductive structure  32  directly or through a conductive spring  33 . However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     More particularly, for example, referring to  FIG.  3   ,  FIG.  4    and  FIG.  5   , the inner surrounding area has a first surrounding surface  1003  surrounding the first through hole  1001 , and a second surrounding surface  1004  surrounding the first surrounding surface  1003 . Moreover, the medicine storage casing  10  has a first protruding blocking portion  101  and a second protruding blocking portion  102  that are disposed on the first surrounding surface  1003 , and the first protruding blocking portion  101  is connected between the first through hole  1001  and the second protruding blocking portion  102 . In addition, an upper surface  3101  of the exposed induction portion  310  of the metal induction element  31  can be exposed by the first protruding blocking portion  101 , and a side surface  3102  of the exposed induction portion  310  of the metal induction element  31  can be covered by the first protruding blocking portion  101 . It should be noted that an upper surface  1011  of the first protruding blocking portion  101  can be flush with or lower than the upper surface  3101  of the exposed induction portion  310 , and an upper surface  1021  of the second protruding blocking portion  102  can be located above the upper surface  3101  of the exposed induction portion  310 . In addition, the upper surface  3101  of the exposed induction portion  310  of the at least one metal induction element  31  can be shown as circular, square, rectangular, arc or any shape. However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     More particularly, referring to  FIG.  1   ,  FIG.  6    and  FIG.  8   , the first embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a portable nebulizer P which includes a nebulizer main body N and a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S. 
     For example, referring to  FIG.  1   ,  FIG.  6    and  FIG.  8   , the nebulizer main body N includes a main body casing  4 , a nebulizer subassembly  5  (such as a chamber providing subassembly) disposed on the main body casing  4 , and a microprocessor  6  disposed in the main body casing  4 . Therefore, when the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S is detachably or fixedly disposed on the nebulizer main body N, the nebulizer main body N can be configured to supply a power to the nebulizing device  21  through the first conductive structure  22 , the nebulizing device  21  can be configured for nebulizing a predetermined medicinal liquid L (as shown in  FIG.  8   ) contained in the medicine storage space  1000 , and the induction module  3  can be electrically connected to the microprocessor  6  disposed inside the nebulizer main body N through the second conductive structure  32 . However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     For example, referring to  FIG.  6   ,  FIG.  8    and  FIG.  9   , the nebulizer subassembly  5  includes a structural matching portion  51  disposed between the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S and the main body casing  4 , and an extending nozzle portion  52  (such as a mouth piece portion) vertically and outwardly extending from the structural matching portion  51 , and the nebulizer subassembly  5  has a nebulized aerosol entering opening  5001  disposed on the structural matching portion  51 , a plurality of external air introducing openings  5002  disposed on the structural matching portion  51 , and a nebulized aerosol spraying opening  5003  disposed on the extending nozzle portion  52 . Moreover, each external air introducing opening  5002  and the nebulized aerosol spraying opening  5003  can be respectively located on a rear area (i.e., a rear end area) and a front area (i.e., a front end area) of the nebulizer subassembly  5 , and the nebulized aerosol entering opening  5001  is located between the external air introducing opening  5002  and the nebulized aerosol spraying opening  5003 . However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     For example, referring to  FIG.  6   ,  FIG.  8    and  FIG.  9   , the nebulizer subassembly  5  has an external air guiding channel  501 , a nebulized aerosol guiding channel  502  and an air mixing chamber  503  that are formed inside the nebulizer subassembly  5 . The external air guiding channel  501  is communicated with the external air introducing openings  5002 , the nebulized aerosol guiding channel  502  is communicated with the nebulized aerosol spraying opening  5003 , and the air mixing chamber  503  is communicated with the external air guiding channel  501 , the nebulized aerosol guiding channel  502 , and an outlet opening  2102  of the nebulizing device  21 . Therefore, after “a nebulized aerosol G1 (such as a nebulized fluid) outputted through the outlet opening  2102  of the nebulizing device  21 ″ and “external air G2 (such as ambient air) introduced through the external air introducing openings  5002 ″can be mixed in the air mixing chamber  503  to form a mixed nebulized aerosol G3 (such as a mixed nebulized fluid), the mixed nebulized aerosol is guided through the nebulized aerosol guiding channel  502  and then sprayed out from the nebulized aerosol spraying opening  5003 . It should be noted that according to different requirements, opening shapes of the external air introducing openings  5002  can be designed to be identical or different (such as at least two different shapes), opening areas of the external air introducing openings  5002  can be designed to be identical or different (such as at least two different areas), and center points of the external air introducing openings  5002  can be located at the same horizontal plane (or the same level) or different horizontal planes (such as at least two different levels). However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     Therefore, when the volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  is decreased to be unable to contact the exposed induction part  310  (or when the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  has been completely used up), the nebulizer main body N will stop supplying power to the nebulizing device  21  to achieve the effect of automatically turning off the nebulizing device  21  (or automatically turning off the portable nebulizer P). In a preferred embodiment, when the volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  is decreased to be unable to contact the exposed induction part  310 , the residual liquid volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L will be equal to or less than 0.4 ml. 
     [Second Embodiment] 
     Referring to  FIG.  11    and  FIG.  12   , a second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S. Comparing  FIG.  11    with  FIG.  3   , and comparing  FIG.  12    with  FIG.  5   , the main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the second embodiment, the exposed induction portion  310  of the metal induction element  31  has an extending section  310 A disposed on the first protruding blocking portion  101 , and a bending section  310 B extending downwardly from the extending section  310 A (that is to say, the bending section  310 B extends toward the first through hole  1001 ), and an upper surface  3101 A of the extending section  310 A and an upper surface  3101 B of the bending section  310 B are both exposed by the first protruding blocking portion  101 . 
     For example, an upper surface  1011  of the first protruding blocking portion  101  can be flush with or lower than the upper surface  3101 A of the extending section  310 A of the exposed induction portion  310 , and an upper surface  1021  of the second protruding blocking portion  102  can be located above upper surface  3101 A of the extending section  310 A of the exposed induction portion  310 . However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     [Third Embodiment] 
     Referring to  FIG.  11    to  FIG.  17   , a third embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S. Comparing  FIGS.  13  to  17    with  FIGS.  1  to  5    respectively, the main difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the third embodiment, the medicine storage casing  10  has a protruding blocking portion  100  disposed on the second surrounding surface  1004 , the protruding blocking portion  100  is away from the first through hole  1001  by a predetermined distance, and an upper surface  3101  and a top surrounding surface  3103  of the exposed induction portion  310  of the metal induction element  31  are exposed by the protruding blocking portion  100 . 
     For example, referring to  FIG.  13    and  FIG.  17   , when the metal induction element  31  is a vertical metal induction element, the metal induction element  31  can be electrically connected to the second conductive structure  32  through a conductive resilient sheet  34 . In addition, the upper surface  3101  of the exposed induction portion  310  of the metal induction element  31  can be shown as circular or any shape. However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure. 
     [Fourth Embodiment] 
     Referring to  FIG.  18    and  FIG.  17   , a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S. Comparing  FIG.  18    with  FIG.  2   , and comparing  FIG.  19    with  FIG.  3   , the main difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the fourth embodiment, when the number of the exposed induction portions  310  exposed on the inner surrounding area is at least three (for example, the at least three exposed induction portions  310  can be arranged at an equal angle or an unequal angle), the three exposed induction portions  310  can be located on the same horizontal plane and surround the first through hole  1001 , and the exposed induction portions  310  can be disposed on the same metal induction element  31  or different metal induction elements  31 . Thereby, when the nebulizing device  21  is configured to be used for the nebulization, if the nebulizer main body N is placed upright, the predetermined medicinal liquid L contained in the medicine storage space  1000  can simultaneously contact the exposed induction portions  310 , so that the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  can be inducted by the exposed induction portions  310 . In addition, when the nebulizing device  21  is configured to be used for the nebulization, if the nebulizer main body N is placed in an inclined position (for example, the nebulizer main body N is inclined relative to a vertical line at an inclination angle greater than or equal to 30 degrees), the predetermined medicinal liquid L contained in the medicine storage space  1000  will only contact a part of the exposed induction portion  310 , so that the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  will not be inducted by the exposed induction portion  310  that does not contact the predetermined medicinal liquid L, and the missing signal will not be transmitted to the microprocessor  6  by the induction module  3 . Therefore, when the microprocessor  6  fails to receive the corresponding signal, the nebulizer main body N will remind the user to confirm the use state. 
     [Fifth Embodiment] 
     Referring to  FIG.  20   , a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S. Comparing  FIG.  20    with  FIG.  2   , the main difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the fifth embodiment, the inner surrounding area has a plurality of liquid level measurement points  35  (or liquid level measurement lines) and a plurality of liquid level induction portions  36 , and the liquid level induction portions  36  are disposed adjacent to and along the liquid level measurement points  35 . In addition, the liquid level measurement points  35  are not located on the same horizontal plane and can be arranged on the first surrounding surface  1003  and/or the second surrounding surface  1004 , and the liquid level induction portions  36  are not located on the same horizontal plane and can be arranged on the first surrounding surface  1003   and/or the second surrounding surface  1004 . 
     Therefore, except for the liquid level measurement points  35  that can be provided for the user to observe, the nebulizing device  21  can also optionally use the liquid level induction portions  36  to achieve the function of segmented quantitative medicinal liquid nebulization (each of the liquid level measurement points  35  can be a segmented quantitative nebulizing point of the medicinal liquid), so that the nebulizer main body N can stop supplying power to the nebulizing device  21  in order to achieve the effect of automatically turning off the nebulizing device  21  (or automatically turning off the portable nebulizer P) according to the segmental induction of the liquid level induction portions  36 . It is worth noting that, for the liquid level measurement point  35  and the liquid level induction portion  36  that are adjacent to each other, the position of the liquid level induction portion  36  is slightly higher than the liquid level measurement point  35 , so that the medicinal liquid can be inducted by the liquid level induction portion  36  before the medicinal liquid is lowered to the liquid level measurement point  35  or when the medicinal liquid is just located on the liquid level measurement point  35 . 
     [Beneficial Effects of the Embodiments] 
     One beneficial effect of the present disclosure is that in the portable nebulizer P and the vertical-type medicine containing and nebulizing assembly S thereof provided by the present disclosure, when the predetermined medicinal liquid contained in the medicine storage space  1000  is nebulized through the nebulizing device  21 , the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21  can be transmitted to the microprocessor  6  through the induction module  3 , by virtue of “the medicine storage module  1  including a medicine storage casing  10 , and the medicine storage module  1  having a medicine storage space  1000  formed in the medicine storage casing  10  and a first through hole  1001  communicated with the medicine storage space  1000 ,” “the nebulizing module  2  including a nebulizing device  21  disposed in the medicine storage module  1  and a first conductive structure  22  electrically connected to the nebulizing device  21 ,” “the induction module  3  including a metal induction element  31  disposed in the medicine storage module  1  and a second conductive structure  32  electrically connected to the metal induction element  31 ,” and “the medicine storage casing  10  having an inner surrounding area located in the medicine storage space  1000  and surrounding the first through hole  1001 , and the metal induction element  31  having an exposed induction portion  310  exposed on the inner surrounding area for receiving the signal generated by the nebulizing device  21 .” 
     More particularly, when the volume of the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  is decreased to be unable to contact the exposed induction part  310  (or when the predetermined medicinal liquid L in the medicine storage space  1000  has been completely used up), the nebulizer main body N will stop supplying power to the nebulizing device  21  to achieve the effect of automatically turning off the nebulizing device  21  (or automatically turning off the portable nebulizer P).
