     FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     The present disclosure relates to an atomization device, and more particularly to an atomization device having a buffering chamber. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     A conventional atomization device includes a liquid supply container and an atomizing module that is connected to the liquid supply container. The liquid supply container is configured to store liquid that can be transferred from the liquid supply container to the atomizing module for an atomizing process. However, in the conventional atomization device, the liquid supply container is directly connected to the atomizing module, and the atomizing process is continuously implemented until the liquid stored in the liquid supply container is exhausted, which causes inconveniences in use. 
     SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     In response to the above-referenced technical inadequacy, the present disclosure provides an atomization device to effectively improve on the issues associated with conventional atomization devices. 
     In one aspect, the present disclosure provides an atomization device, which includes a disposable liquid supply module, a carrier, and an atomizing module. The disposable liquid supply module includes a liquid storing member and an opener. The liquid storing member stores a liquid therein. The opener has a piercing tube and is disposed on an outer surface of the liquid storing member. The opener is movable relative to the liquid storing member from an initial position to a use position. When the opener is at the initial position, the liquid storing member is a sealed structure. When the opener is at the use position, the piercing tube pierces into the liquid storing member to form an opening on the liquid storing member. The carrier is detachably assembled to the opener of the disposable liquid supply module. The atomizing module is assembled to the carrier so as to jointly define a buffering chamber that corresponds in position to the piercing tube. Moreover, a volume of the buffering chamber is less than a volume of the liquid stored in the liquid storing member. When the opener is at the use position, the disposable liquid supply module is configured to be pressed so that an external force is exerted onto the liquid storing member and an inner pressure of the liquid storing member is changed, such that a part of the liquid is driven to flow from the piercing tube into the buffering chamber for an atomizing process of the atomizing module. 
     In certain embodiments, the carrier has an atomizing chamber, and the atomizing module is located between the atomizing chamber and the buffering chamber. 
     In certain embodiments, the atomization device further includes a pressure sensor electrically coupled to the atomizing module. The pressure sensor is configured to detect a pressure of the atomizing chamber, so that when the pressure of the atomizing chamber is lower than a predetermined value, the pressure sensor drives the atomizing module to atomize the part of the liquid in the buffering chamber. 
     In certain embodiments, an inner diameter of the piercing tube is greater than 0 mm, and is less than or equal to 8 mm. 
     In certain embodiments, the opener is rotatably disposed on the outer surface of the liquid storing member, and the opener is rotatable relative to the liquid storing member between the initial position and the use position. 
     In another aspect, the present disclosure provides an atomization device, which includes a disposable liquid supply module, a carrier, and an atomizing module. The disposable liquid supply module includes a liquid storing member and an opener. The liquid storing member stores a liquid therein. The opener is configured to form an opening on the liquid storing member. The carrier is detachably assembled to the disposable liquid supply module. The atomizing module is assembled to at least one of the disposable liquid supply module and the carrier. The atomization device has a buffering chamber arranged between the atomizing module and the opening of the liquid storing member, and a volume of the buffering chamber is less than a volume of the liquid stored in the liquid storing member. The disposable liquid supply module is configured to be pressed so that an external force is exerted onto the liquid storing member and an inner pressure of the liquid storing member is changed, such that a part of the liquid is driven to flow from the opening into the buffering chamber for an atomizing process of the atomizing module. 
     In certain embodiments, the opener is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member by being moved relative to the liquid storing member so as to form the opening on the liquid storing member. The disposable liquid supply module further includes a container having the buffering chamber therein, and the liquid storing member is inserted into the container, so that the opening is in spatial communication with the buffering chamber. 
     In certain embodiments, the container has an inlet for an insertion of the liquid storing member and an outlet that corresponds in position to the atomizing module. The opener is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member by being retained in the inlet and being rotated relative to the liquid storing member, so that the opener separated from the liquid storing member is located in the buffering chamber. 
     In certain embodiments, the container includes a barrier arranged in the buffering chamber and located between the inlet and the outlet, and the opener separated from the liquid storing member is disposed on the barrier by passing through the inlet. 
     In certain embodiments, the atomizing module includes a microporous film fixed to the container and a vibrator that is assembled to the carrier. The microporous film covers the outlet, and the microporous film detachably abuts against the vibrator. 
     In certain embodiments, the container has an inlet and an outlet that corresponds in position to the atomizing module, and the opener is configured to move relative to the liquid storing member so as to form the opening on the liquid storing member. One of the inlet of the opener and the opening of the liquid storing member is inserted into another one of the inlet of the opener and the opening of the liquid storing member, and an interior of the opener is defined as the buffering chamber. 
     In certain embodiments, the opening of the liquid storing member is inserted into the opener that includes a piercing tube therein. An end of the piercing tube is in spatial communication with the outlet, and another end of the piercing tube is coupled to the opening of the liquid storing member. 
     In certain embodiments, the another end of the piercing tube does not protrude from the inlet and is gaplessly connected to the opening of the liquid storing member, and an interior of the piercing tube is defined as the buffering chamber. 
     In certain embodiments, the opener includes a container portion having the inlet and the outlet and a pre-connection portion that is rotatably connected to the container portion. The pre-connection portion is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member by being rotated relative to the container portion, so as to form the opening on the liquid storing member and to form the inlet on the container portion. 
     In certain embodiments, the atomizing module includes a microporous film fixed to the opener and a vibrator that is assembled to the carrier. The microporous film covers the outlet, and the microporous film detachably abuts against the vibrator. 
     In certain embodiments, the opening is greater than 0 mm, and is not greater than 8 mm. 
     In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides an atomization device, which includes a liquid storing member, a carrier, an opener, and an atomizing module. The liquid storing member stores a liquid therein. The carrier is detachably assembled to the liquid storing member. The opener is disposed on at least one of the liquid storing member and the carrier. The opener is configured to form an opening on the liquid storing member. The atomizing module is assembled to at least one of the liquid storing member and the carrier. The atomization device has a buffering chamber arranged between the atomizing module and the opening of the liquid storing member, and a volume of the buffering chamber is less than a volume of the liquid stored in the liquid storing member. The liquid storing member is configured to be pressed to change an inner pressure thereof, such that a part of the liquid is driven to flow from the opening into the buffering chamber for an atomizing process of the atomizing module. 
     Therefore, in the atomization device provided by the present disclosure, the buffering chamber is jointly defined by the atomizing module and the carrier, and the volume of the buffering chamber is less than the volume of the liquid stored in the liquid storing member. Accordingly, the buffering chamber can receive the liquid stored in the liquid storing member over multiple times, such that the atomization device can atomize the liquid over multiple times through the buffering chamber. 
     These and other aspects of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following description of the embodiment taken in conjunction with the following drawings and their captions, although variations and modifications therein may be affected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure.

     First Embodiment 
     Referring to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 4 , a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides an atomization device  100 . The atomization device  100  of the present embodiment includes a disposable liquid supply module  1 , a carrier  2  detachably assembled to the disposable liquid supply module  1 , and an atomizing module  3  that is assembled to at least one of the disposable liquid supply module  1  and the carrier  2 . In the present embodiment, the atomizing module  3  is exemplified as being only assembled to the carrier  2 . 
     The disposable liquid supply module  1  includes a liquid storing member  11  and an opener  12  that is disposed on the liquid storing member  11 , and the opener  12  is configured to form an opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11 , but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the liquid storing member  11  and the opener  12  can be two components that are separate from each other; or, the opener  12  can be disposed on the carrier  2 . In other words, the opener  12  can be disposed on at least one of the liquid storing member  11  and the carrier  2 . 
     Specifically, the liquid storing member  11  stores liquid M (e.g., a liquid medicine or a skincare liquid) therein, and the type of the liquid M can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements. It should be noted that the liquid storing member  11  in the present embodiment might be a disposable plastic object that is elongated and elastically pressable. Further, the liquid storing member  11  cannot be refilled with the liquid M. In other words, the liquid storing member  11  is pre-filled with the liquid M. In addition, the shape of the liquid storing member  11  can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements and is not limited to the drawings of the present embodiment. 
     The opener  12  is disposed on an outer surface of the liquid storing member  11 , and includes a cover  121  and a piercing tube  122  that is connected to a center portion of the cover  121 . The opener  12  is movable relative to the liquid storing member  11  from an initial position to a use position (as shown in  FIG. 2 ). When the opener  12  is at the initial position, the liquid storing member  11  is a sealed structure. When the opener  12  is at the use position, the piercing tube  122  pierces into the liquid storing member  11 , so as to form the opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11 . 
     It should be noted that the opener  12  in the present embodiment is rotatably disposed on the outer surface of the liquid storing member  11  through the cover  121 , so that the opener  12  is rotatable relative to the liquid storing member  11  between the initial position and the use position. Accordingly, through an operation mechanism of the opener  12  and the liquid storing member  11  of the disposable liquid supply module  1 , when the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is formed by the opener  12 , the opening  111  and an adjacent portion of the liquid storing member  11  can effectively avoid being touched by a user, thereby reducing a probability of polluting the liquid M. 
     Moreover, an inner diameter D 122  of the piercing tube  122  can be controlled to be greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm, so that when no external force is exerted upon the liquid storing member  11 , the liquid M in the liquid storing member  11  does not easily flow outside of the liquid storing member  11  along the piercing tube  122 . Preferably, the inner diameter D 122  of the piercing tube  122  is not less than 1 mm but not greater than 4.5 mm. 
     The carrier  2  is detachably assembled to the opener  12  of the disposable liquid supply module  1 . In other words, the carrier  2  is indirectly and detachably assembled to the liquid storing member  11  through the opener  12 . Moreover, the atomizing module  3  is assembled to the carrier  2 , and the atomization device  100  has a buffering chamber C 1  arranged between the atomizing module  3  and the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11 . That is, the atomizing module  3  and the carrier  2  in the present embodiment jointly form (or define) the buffering chamber C 1  that corresponds in position to the piercing tube  122 . 
     Specifically, the carrier  2  also has an atomizing chamber C 2 , the atomizing module  3  is located between the atomizing chamber C 2  and the buffering chamber C 1 , and a volume of the buffering chamber C 1  is less than a volume of the liquid M stored in the liquid storing member  11 , so that the buffering chamber C 1  can receive the liquid M stored in the liquid storing member  11  over multiple times. 
     Furthermore, the atomizing module  3  includes a microporous film  31  and a vibrator  32  that (directly or indirectly) abuts against the microporous film  31 . In the present embodiment, the microporous film  31  and the vibrator  32  of the atomizing module  3  are assembled to the carrier  2 , and the microporous film  31  is configured to separate the atomizing chamber C 2  and the buffering chamber C 1  from each other. A substantially central portion of the microporous film  31  has a plurality of atomizing holes penetrating therethrough, and a quantity of the atomizing holes and the shape of any one of the atomizing holes can be changed according to a design-required particle size, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Moreover, the vibrator  32  in the present embodiment is a piezoelectric (PZT) sheet that has an annular shape, and a center hole of the vibrator  32  corresponds in position to the atomizing holes of the microporous film  31 . The microporous film  31  is made of at least one of or a combination of polymers that are selected from polyimide (PI), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). 
     Accordingly, when the opener  12  is at the use position, the disposable liquid supply module  1  is configured to be pressed so that an external force is exerted onto the liquid storing member  11  and an inner pressure of the liquid storing member  11  is changed, such that a part of the liquid M is driven to flow from the piercing tube  122  (or the opening  111 ) into the buffering chamber C 1  for an atomizing process of the atomizing module  3 . Moreover, the atomizing process of the atomizing module  3  refers to having the part of the liquid M in the buffering chamber C 1  be atomized toward the atomizing chamber C 2  through the atomizing holes of the microporous film  31  when the vibrator  32  vibrates the microporous film  31 . 
     It should be noted that the disposable liquid supply module  1  in the present embodiment is pressed by the user&#39;s finger, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the disposable liquid supply module  1  can be pressed by a mechanical manner, so as to cause gas to squeeze an interior of the disposable liquid supply module  1 . 
     In addition, the atomization device  100  can further include a pressure sensor  4  that is electrically coupled to the atomizing module  3  (e.g., the vibrator  32  of the atomizing module  3 ) according to design requirements. The pressure sensor  4  is configured to detect a pressure of the atomizing chamber C 2 , so that when the pressure of the atomizing chamber C 2  is lower than a predetermined value, the pressure sensor  4  can drive the atomizing module  3  to atomize the part of the liquid M in the buffering chamber C 1 . 
     Second Embodiment 
     Referring to  FIG. 5  to  FIG. 8 , a second embodiment of the present disclosure provides an atomization device  100 , which includes a disposable liquid supply module  1 , a carrier  2  detachably assembled to the disposable liquid supply module  1 , and an atomizing module  3  that is assembled to at least one of the disposable liquid supply module  1  and the carrier  2 . In the present embodiment, the atomizing module  3  is exemplified as being assembled to the disposable liquid supply module  1  and the carrier  2 . 
     The disposable liquid supply module  1  includes a liquid storing member  11 , an opener  12  that is configured to form an opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11 , and a container  13  that is spaced apart from the liquid storing member  11  and the opener  12 . Specifically, the liquid storing member  11  stores liquid M (e.g., a liquid medicine or a skincare liquid) therein, and the type of the liquid M can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements. It should be noted that the liquid storing member  11  in the present embodiment is an elongated and elastically pressable object, and might be a disposable plastic object. Further, the liquid storing member  11  cannot be refilled with the liquid M. In addition, the shape of the liquid storing member  11  can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements and is not limited to the drawings of the present embodiment. 
     The opener  12  is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member  11  by being moved relative to the liquid storing member  11 , so as to form the opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11 . In the present embodiment, the opener  12  is integrally connected to the liquid storing member  11 , and a connection interface between the opener  12  and the liquid storing member  11  is easily broken, so that when the opener  12  is rotated relative to the liquid storing member  11 , the opener  12  is separated from the liquid storing member  11  through the connection interface. Accordingly, the connection interface is formed to have the opening  111 . 
     Moreover, the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  can be controlled to be greater than 0 and not greater than 8 mm, so that when no external force is exerted upon the liquid storing member  11 , the liquid M in the liquid storing member  11  does not easily flow outside of the liquid storing member  11  through the opening  111 . The opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is preferably not less than 1 mm and not greater than 4.5 mm. 
     The container  13  has a buffering chamber C 1  therein, and a volume of the buffering chamber C 1  is less than a volume of the liquid M stored in the liquid storing member  11 , so that the buffering chamber C 1  can receive the liquid M stored in the liquid storing member  11  over multiple times. Moreover, the container  13  has an inlet  131  and an outlet  132 . The inlet  131  and the outlet  132  are in spatial communication with the buffering chamber C 1 , and the inlet  131  and the outlet  132  in the present embodiment are arranged on two opposite sides of the buffering chamber C 1 , respectively. 
     The inlet  131  corresponds in shape to the opener  12 . The opener  12  is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member  11  by being retained in the inlet  131  and being rotated relative to the liquid storing member  11 , such that the opening  111  is formed on the liquid storing member  11 . Accordingly, through an operation mechanism of the opener  12  and the container  13  of the disposable liquid supply module  1 , when the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is formed by the opener  12 , the opening  111  and an adjacent portion of the liquid storing member  11  can effectively avoid being touched by a user, thereby reducing a probability of polluting the liquid M. 
     Specifically, after the opener  12  is separated from the liquid storing member  11 , the opener  12  is located in the buffering chamber C 1 , and the liquid storing member  11  is inserted into the container  13  through the inlet  131 , so that the opening  111  is in spatial communication with the buffering chamber C 1 . In the present embodiment, the container  13  includes a barrier  133  arranged in the buffering chamber C 1  and located between the inlet  131  and the outlet  132 , so that the opener  12  separated from the liquid storing member  11  is disposed on the barrier  133  by passing through the inlet  131 . 
     The opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is preferably adjacent to the barrier  133  and is located at one side of the opener  12 , thereby preventing the liquid M that flows outside of the liquid storing member  11  through the opening  111  from contacting the opener  12 , but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, a portion of the liquid storing member  11  having the opening  111  can be inserted into the barrier  133 , thereby preventing the liquid M that flows outside of the liquid storing member  11  through the opening  111  from contacting the opener  12 . 
     The carrier  2  is detachably assembled to the container  13  of the disposable liquid supply module  1 . In other words, the carrier  2  is indirectly and detachably assembled to the liquid storing member  11  through the container  13 . Moreover, the atomizing module  3  is assembled to the carrier  2 , the outlet  132  of the container  13  corresponds in position to (and faces toward) the atomizing module  3 , and the buffering chamber C 1  is arranged between the atomizing module  3  and the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11 . 
     Specifically, the carrier  2  further has an atomizing chamber C 2  therein, and the atomizing module  3  is located between the atomizing chamber C 2  and the buffering chamber C 1 . The atomizing module  3  includes a microporous film  31  and a vibrator  32  that detachably abuts against the microporous film  31 . In the present embodiment, the microporous film  31  of the atomizing module  3  is fixed to the container  13  and covers the outlet  132 , so as to separate the atomizing chamber C 2  and the buffering chamber C 1  from each other. The vibrator  32  of the atomizing module  3  is assembled to the carrier  2 . In addition, according to the first and second embodiments, the atomizing module  3  of the present disclosure can be assembled to at least one of the liquid storing member  11  and the carrier  2 . 
     The microporous film  31  has a plurality of atomizing holes penetrating a substantial center portion thereof, and a quantity of the atomizing holes and the shape of any one of the atomizing holes can be changed according to a design-required particle size, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Moreover, the vibrator  32  in the present embodiment is a piezoelectric (PZT) sheet being in an annular shape, and a center hole of the vibrator  32  corresponds in position to the atomizing holes of the microporous film  31 . 
     Accordingly, the disposable liquid supply module  1  is configured to be pressed so that an external force is exerted onto the liquid storing member  11  and an inner pressure of the liquid storing member  11  is changed, such that a part of the liquid M is driven to flow from the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  into the buffering chamber C 1  for an atomizing process of the atomizing module  3 . Moreover, the atomizing process of the atomizing module  3  refers to having the part of the liquid M in the buffering chamber C 1  be atomized toward the atomizing chamber C 2  through the atomizing holes of the microporous film  31  when the vibrator  32  vibrates the microporous film  31 . 
     It should be noted that the disposable liquid supply module  1  in the present embodiment is pressed by the user&#39;s finger, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the disposable liquid supply module  1  can be pressed by a mechanical manner, so as to cause gas to squeeze an interior of the disposable liquid supply module  1 . 
     In addition, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the atomization device  100  can further include a pressure sensor that is electrically coupled to the atomizing module  3  (e.g., the vibrator  32  of the atomizing module  3 ) according to design requirements. The function of the pressure sensor of the present embodiment is identical to that of the first embodiment, and will not be reiterated herein. 
     Third Embodiment 
     Referring to  FIG. 9  to  FIG. 15 , a third embodiment of the present disclosure provides an atomization device  100 . As shown in  FIG. 9  to  FIG. 11 , the atomization device  100  includes a disposable liquid supply module  1 , a carrier  2  detachably assembled to the disposable liquid supply module  1 , and an atomizing module  3  that is assembled to at least one of the disposable liquid supply module  1  and the carrier  2 . In the present embodiment, the atomizing module  3  is exemplified as being assembled to the disposable liquid supply module  1  and the carrier  2 . 
     It should be noted that the carrier  2  and the atomizing module  3  of the present embodiment are similar to those of the second embodiment. Therefore, for the features of the carrier  2  and the atomizing module  3  of the present embodiment, reference can also be made to  FIG. 5  to  FIG. 8  of the second embodiment. 
     The disposable liquid supply module  1  includes a liquid storing member  11  and an opener  12  that is configured to form an opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11 . Specifically, the liquid storing member  11  stores liquid M (e.g., a liquid medicine or a skincare liquid) therein, and the type of the liquid M can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements. It should be noted that the liquid storing member  11  in the present embodiment is an elongated and elastically pressable object, and might be a disposable plastic object. Further, the liquid storing member  11  cannot be refilled with the liquid M. In addition, the shape of the liquid storing member  11  can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements and is not limited to the drawings of the present embodiment. 
     The opener  12  is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member  11  by being moved relative to the liquid storing member  11 , so as to form the opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11 . In the present embodiment, the opener  12  is integrally connected to the liquid storing member  11 , and a connection interface between the opener  12  and the liquid storing member  11  is easily broken, so that when the opener  12  is moved relative to the liquid storing member  11 , the opener  12  is separated from the liquid storing member  11  through the connection interface. Accordingly, the connection interface is formed to have the opening  111 . 
     It should be noted that the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  can be controlled to be greater than 0 and not greater than 8 mm, so that when no external force is exerted upon the liquid storing member  11 , the liquid M in the liquid storing member  11  does not easily flow outside of the liquid storing member  11  through the opening  111 . The opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is preferably not less than 1 mm and not greater than 4.5 mm. 
     Moreover, the opener  12  has a buffering chamber C 1  therein, and a volume of the buffering chamber C 1  is less than a volume of the liquid M stored in the liquid storing member  11 , so that the buffering chamber C 1  can receive the liquid M stored in the liquid storing member  11  over multiple times. Furthermore, the opener  12  has an inlet  1231  and an outlet  1232 . The inlet  1231  and the outlet  1232  are in spatial communication with the buffering chamber C 1 , and the inlet  1231  and the outlet  1232  in the present embodiment are arranged on two opposite sides of the buffering chamber C 1 , respectively. Specifically, after the opener  12  is separated from the liquid storing member  11 , one of the inlet  1231  of the opener  12  and the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is inserted into the other one of the inlet  1231  of the opener  12  and the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11 , so that the opening  111  is in spatial communication with the buffering chamber C 1 . 
     Accordingly, through an operation mechanism of the opener  12  and the liquid storing member  11  of the disposable liquid supply module  1 , when the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is formed by the opener  12 , the opening  111  and an adjacent portion of the liquid storing member  11  can effectively avoid being touched by a user, thereby reducing a probability of polluting the liquid M. 
     As shown in  FIG. 12  to  FIG. 15 , in a specific structural configuration of the disposable liquid supply module  1  that satisfies the above technical features, the opener  12  includes a container portion  123  and a pre-connection portion  124  that is rotatably connected to the container portion  123 . The container portion  123  has the inlet  1231  and the outlet  1232 . The pre-connection portion  124  is integrally connected to the liquid storing member  11 , so that the pre-connection portion  124  is configured to be separated from the liquid storing member  11  by being rotated (or moved) relative to the container portion  123 , so as to form the opening  111  on the liquid storing member  11  and to form the inlet  1231  on the container portion  123 . 
     Moreover, the opener  12  can have a piercing tube  1233  formed in the container portion  123 . The piercing tube  1233  defines the buffering chamber C 1  therein, an end of the piercing tube  1233  is in spatial communication with the outlet  1232 , and another end of the piercing tube  1233  does not protrude from the inlet  1231 . When the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  is inserted into the opener  12 , the another end of the piercing tube  1233  is coupled to the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11  and is gaplessly connected to the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11 , but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     As shown in  FIG. 9  to  FIG. 15 , the carrier  2  is detachably assembled to the opener  12  (e.g., the container portion  123  of the opener  12 ). In other words, the carrier  2  is indirectly and detachably assembled to the liquid storing member  11  through the opener  12 . Moreover, the atomizing module  3  is assembled to the carrier  2 , the outlet  1232  of the opener  12  corresponds in position to (and faces toward) the atomizing module  3 , and the buffering chamber C 1  is arranged between the atomizing module  3  and the opening  111  of the liquid storing member  11 . 
     Specifically, the carrier  2  further has an atomizing chamber C 2  therein, and the atomizing module  3  is located between the atomizing chamber C 2  and the buffering chamber C 1 . The atomizing module  3  includes a microporous film  31  and a vibrator  32  that detachably abuts against the microporous film  31 . In the present embodiment, the microporous film  31  of the atomizing module  3  is fixed to the opener  12  (e.g., the container portion  123  of the opener  12 ) and covers the outlet  1232 , so as to separate the atomizing chamber C 2  and the buffering chamber C 1  from each other. The vibrator  32  of the atomizing module  3  is assembled to the carrier  2 . 
     The microporous film  31  has a plurality of atomizing holes penetrating a substantial center portion thereof, and a quantity of the atomizing holes and the shape of any one of the atomizing holes can be changed according to a design-required particle size, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Moreover, the vibrator  32  in the present embodiment is a piezoelectric (PZT) sheet that has an annular shape, and a center hole of the vibrator  32  corresponds in position to the atomizing holes of the microporous film  31 . 
     Accordingly, the disposable liquid supply module  1  is configured to be pressed so that an external force is exerted onto the liquid storing member  11  and an inner pressure of the liquid storing member  11  is changed, such that a part of the liquid M is driven to flow from the opening  111  into the buffering chamber C 1  for an atomizing process of the atomizing module  3 . Moreover, the atomizing process of the atomizing module  3  refers to having the part of the liquid M in the buffering chamber C 1  can be atomized toward the atomizing chamber C 2  through the atomizing holes of the microporous film  31  when vibrator  32  vibrates the microporous film  31 . 
     It should be noted that the disposable liquid supply module  1  in the present embodiment is pressed by the user&#39;s finger, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the disposable liquid supply module  1  can be pressed by a mechanical manner, so as to cause gas to squeeze an interior of the disposable liquid supply module  1 . 
     In addition, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the atomization device  100  can further include a pressure sensor that is electrically coupled to the atomizing module  3  (e.g., the vibrator  32  of the atomizing module  3 ) according to design requirements. The function of the pressure sensor of the present embodiment is identical to that of the first embodiment, and will not be reiterated herein.
