1. An atomization assembly of an inhaler, comprising:
a liquid reservoir defining a main liquid storage chamber therein for storing liquid and an auxiliary liquid storage chamber, the liquid reservoir further defining a liquid-draining aperture between the main liquid storage chamber and the auxiliary liquid storage chamber, the liquid-draining aperture located at a bottom surface of the main liquid storage chamber;
an atomizing core fixed to the liquid reservoir; and
a movable member configured to move back and forth between a first position towards the liquid-draining aperture and a second position away from the liquid-draining aperture, wherein when the movable member is in the first position, the movable member seals the liquid-draining aperture, such that the main liquid storage chamber is isolated from the auxiliary liquid storage chamber; when the movable member is in the second position, the movable member is separated from the liquid-draining aperture, thereby communicating the main liquid storage chamber with the auxiliary liquid storage chamber:
wherein the atomization assembly is configured to be detachably connected to a battery assembly of the inhaler, when the atomization assembly is not connected to the battery assembly, the movable member seals the liquid-draining aperture; when the atomization assembly is connected to the battery assembly, the movable member moves towards the battery assembly and is separated from the liquid-draining aperture;
wherein the liquid reservoir comprises an inner tube, an outer tube, and a liquid guide piece, the inner tube defines an air flow channel therein, the main liquid storage chamber is formed between the inner tube and the outer tube, the liquid guide piece is located at an end of the inner tube and separates the main liquid storage chamber from the auxiliary liquid storage chamber, the liquid-draining aperture is defined on the liquid guide piece.
