In the embodiments, the to-be-atomized solution includes but is not limited to e-cigarette liquids with different flavors and medical liquids with different therapeutic effects. Since the atomizing apparatus <NUM> is detachably mounted on the power supply apparatus <NUM>, users can replace the atomizing apparatus <NUM> or the to-be-atomized solution to meet different use requirements.

The details are described below with specific implementations.

The atomizing apparatus <NUM> of the embodiments includes: an atomizing housing <NUM> and an atomizing assembly <NUM>.

The atomizing housing <NUM> is defined with a vapor outlet <NUM> communicating with the interior of the atomizing housing <NUM>. It can be understood that, the atomizing housing <NUM> is configured to protect the atomizing assembly <NUM>, and is defined with the vapor outlet <NUM> for discharging vapor. The atomizing housing <NUM> is of a hollow structure, which facilitates to place the atomizing assembly <NUM> therein.

The atomizing assembly <NUM> is disposed inside the atomizing housing <NUM>, and is configured to output vapor. It can be understood that the atomizing assembly <NUM> is configured to atomize the to-be-atomized solution placed therein into vapor, and output the vapor to the vapor outlet <NUM>.

The atomizing housing <NUM> is provided with a docking post <NUM> configured to be inserted into a docking slot <NUM> of the power supply apparatus <NUM>, and a guiding structure <NUM> arranged on a side surface of the docking post <NUM> along a circumferential direction of the docking post <NUM>. The guiding structure <NUM> includes a guiding curved surface <NUM>. The guiding curved surface <NUM> is projecting or concave inward in an axial direction of the docking post <NUM> with respect to the power supply apparatus <NUM>. Referring to <FIG>, the atomizing assembly <NUM> is provided with an atomizing electrical contact <NUM>, which is configured to abut against a power supply electrical contact <NUM> of the power supply apparatus <NUM>. The atomizing electrical contact <NUM> is exposed out of a bottom surface of the docking post <NUM> facing away from the vapor outlet <NUM>. It can be understood that the atomizing housing <NUM> is provided with the docking post <NUM> and the guiding structure <NUM>. The docking post <NUM> is configured to be inserted into the docking slot <NUM> of the power supply apparatus <NUM>, and the guiding structure <NUM> is configured to adjust a relative angle between the docking post <NUM> and the docking slot <NUM>, allowing the atomizing electrical contact <NUM> to directly face and abut against the power supply electrical contact <NUM>. In some embodiments, the docking post <NUM> has a post structure, and is in clearance fit with the docking slot <NUM>, so that the docking post <NUM> can rotate around an axis after it is inserted into the docking slot <NUM>, thereby enabling adjustment of the relative angle between the docking post <NUM> and the docking slot <NUM>. In order to allow the docking post <NUM> to automatically adjust the angle relative to the docking slot <NUM> to make the atomizing electrical contact <NUM> directly face and abut against the power supply electrical contact <NUM>, the guiding structure <NUM> is provided with the guiding curved surface <NUM>, and the power supply apparatus <NUM> is provided with a mating curved surface <NUM> for fitting with the guiding curved surface <NUM>. In case the guiding curved surface <NUM> is misaligned with the mating curved surface <NUM>, and the two are close to each other, the mating curved surface <NUM> can guide the guiding curved surface <NUM> to move. Specifically, under the action of gravity, the inclined guiding curved surface <NUM> slips and rotates, until the guiding curved surface <NUM> is completely in concave-convex fit with the mating curved surface <NUM>. In this case, the relative angle between the docking post <NUM> and the docking slot <NUM> is adjusted, allowing the atomizing electrical contact <NUM> to directly face and abut against the power supply electrical contact <NUM>.

According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the assembly principle of the atomizing apparatus <NUM> and the power supply apparatus <NUM> is as follows:.

The user, who holds the power supply apparatus <NUM> in one hand and the atomizing apparatus <NUM> in the other hand, inserts the docking post <NUM> into the docking slot <NUM>. At this time, the atomizing apparatus <NUM> is located above the power supply apparatus <NUM>, and the atomizing apparatus <NUM> is guided under gravity to move along a depth direction of the docking slot <NUM>. During the movement of the atomizing apparatus <NUM>, the guiding curved surface <NUM> interacts with the mating curved surface <NUM> to adjust the relative angle between the atomizing apparatus <NUM> and the power supply apparatus <NUM>. When the guiding curved surface <NUM> is in complete concave-convex fit with the mating curved surface <NUM>, the atomizing electrical contact <NUM> and the power supply electrical contact <NUM> are squarely facing each other and abutting against each other, achieving the electrical connection between the atomizing apparatus <NUM> and the power supply apparatus <NUM>. It should be noted that in case the atomizing apparatus <NUM> fails to be guided under its gravity to move along the depth direction of the docking slot <NUM>, the user may manually press and rotate the atomizing apparatus <NUM>. In this case, a complete mating between the atomizing apparatus <NUM> and the power supply apparatus <NUM> can be achieved by only rotating the atomizing apparatus <NUM> less than half a turn.

By adopting the above technical solution:
First, the atomizing apparatus <NUM> is defined with the guiding structure <NUM>, and the guiding structure <NUM> is provided with the guiding curved surface <NUM> capable of guiding the atomizing apparatus <NUM> to rotate with respect to the power supply apparatus <NUM>, so that the atomizing apparatus <NUM> can be aligned with the power supply apparatus <NUM> under its own gravity or a pressure provided by a user to realize the electrical connection therebetween.

In this way, a complete fitting between the guiding curved surfaces <NUM> and the mating curved surfaces <NUM> can be achieved without any other external force, thereby allowing the atomizing apparatus <NUM> and the power supply apparatus <NUM> to adjust to an appropriate angle. In case the magnetic component <NUM> is disposed on the side surface of the docking post <NUM>, the magnetic mating component <NUM> is disposed on the wall of the docking slot <NUM>. In this case, the magnetic cooperation between the magnetic component <NUM> and the magnetic mating component <NUM> cannot guide the docking post <NUM> to move along the depth direction of the docking slot <NUM>, but can assist in positioning the docking post <NUM> and the docking slot <NUM> at a relative angle.
