In an embodiment, the vaporizer includes a main body and the main body includes a main airway. The heating top cover is arranged in the main body.

Priority is claimed to Chinese Patent Application No. 202122399160.6, filed on Sep. 30, 2021, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
FIELDThe present utility model relates to the technical field of electronic vaporization devices, and in particular, to a vaporizer and an electronic vaporization device.
BACKGROUNDA vaporizer is an important component of an electronic vaporization device that can vaporize liquid. When the vaporizer performs vaporization, gas formed through the vaporization can be outputted along a main airway of the vaporizer.
However, in a vaporization process performed by the vaporizer, a part of the gas located in the main airway is cooled down and liquefied, forming condensate in a liquid state. The part of condensate is outputted with the vapor in the main airway in an operating process of the vaporizer, resulting in liquid leakage of the vaporizer. To reduce the occurrence of this case, in some vaporizers, a structure for guiding the condensate in the main airway to a heating top cover may be arranged, to alleviate the leakage of the condensate.
However, in an actual vaporization process, the foregoing vaporizers have poor reliability in resistance against liquid leakage during inhaling.
SUMMARYIn an embodiment, the present invention provides a vaporizer, comprising: a heating top cover comprising an airway corner; a heating body; and a liquid return groove extending from the heating top cover to the heating body, the liquid return groove being arranged at the airway corner.
