[0054] The conducting structure 3 includes a first contact member 31, a second contact member 32 and a conducting member 33. The first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 are engaged with the housing 60. The first end of the first contact member 31 contacts the first detection member 211, and the first end of the second contact member 32 contacts the second detection member 212. The second end of the first contact member 31 and the second end of the second contact member 32 are arranged on the fixed structure 10 at intervals; the conducting member 33 is also arranged on the fixed structure 10; the second end of the first contact member 31 and the second end of the second contact member 32 are connected or disconnected through the conducting member 33 by inserting or removing the removable insert 4. The controller 22 is used to determine whether the removable insert 4 is inserted by detecting the switching of the connected or disconnected state of the second end of the first contact member 31 and the second end of the second contact member 32.

[0055] Specifically, the second end of the first contact member 31 is disposed on the second socket 12, and the first contact member 31 extends along the housing 60 toward the direction close to the power supply assembly 2, so that the first end of the first contact member 31 contacts the first detection member 211; the second end of the second contact member 32 is disposed on the second socket 12, and the second contact member 32 extends along the housing 60 toward the direction close to the power supply assembly 2, so that the first end of the second contact member 32 contacts the second detection member 212.

The conductive member 33 is disposed between the first socket 11 and the second socket 12, and is fixed on the first socket 11. As the removable insert 4 is inserted or removed, the first socket 11 slides relative to the second socket 12, and the conductive member 33 moves up and down as the first socket 11 slides. The two ends of the conductive member 33 respectively contact or separate with the second end of the first contact member 31 and the second end of the second contact member 32, so that the second end of the first contact member 31 is connected or disconnected with the second end of the second contact member 32.

[0056] Since the second end of the first contact piece 31 and the second end of the second contact piece 32 are arranged and fixed on the second socket piece 12, the second socket piece 12 is fixed to the housing 60 by the screw 14, the first contact piece 31 is provided with a positioning ring 34 near the second socket piece 12, and the second contact piece 32 is provided with a positioning ring 34 near the second socket piece 12. The positioning ring 34 facilitates the screw 14 to fix the first contact piece 31 and the second contact piece 32 together with the second socket piece 12 to the housing 60.

[0057] The first contact member 31 is provided with a first deformation position 312 and a second deformation position 313. The first deformation position 312 is used to keep the first end of the first contact member 31 in good contact with the first detection member 211, and the second deformation position 313 is used to make the first contact member 31 snap on the housing 60. The second contact member 32 is provided with a third deformation position 322 and a fourth deformation position 323. The third deformation position 322 is used to keep the first end of the second contact member 32 in good contact with the second detection member 212, and the fourth deformation position 323 is used to make the second contact member 32 snap on the housing 60.

The second contact member 32 is also provided with a sixth deformation position 324, which is used to keep the second end of the second contact member 32 in good contact with the conductive member 33.

[0059] Specifically, the first deformation position 312 is set at the first end of the first contact member 31, and the fifth deformation position 314 is set at the second end of the first contact member 31; the first deformation position 312 and the fifth deformation position 314 can be formed by bending the first contact member 31 to form an arc or a ring, or by bending it into other shapes, so that the first end or the second end of the first contact member 31 has a larger contact surface. The second deformation position 313 is set between the first deformation position 312 and the fifth deformation position 314; the second deformation position 313 can be formed by bending the first contact member 31 to form a wave structure, or by bending it into other shapes, so that the first contact member 31 can be well engaged in the housing 60.

[0060] The third deformation position 322 is set at the first end of the second contact member 32, and the sixth deformation position 324 is set at the second end of the second contact member 32; the third deformation position 322 and the sixth deformation position 324 can be formed by bending the second contact member 32 to form an arc or a ring, or by bending it into other shapes, so that the first end or the second end of the second contact member 32 has a larger contact surface. The fourth deformation position 323 is set between the third deformation position 322 and the sixth deformation position 324; the fourth deformation position 323 can be formed by bending the second contact member 32 to form a wave structure, or by bending it into other shapes, so that the second contact member 32 can be well engaged in the housing 60.

[0061] The first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 are metal springs. The first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 can be made of copper, aluminum, stainless steel or other alloys. It is only necessary that the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 have a certain hardness to facilitate assembly and fixation on the housing 60, and can be bent to form a deformation position to achieve the purpose of setting the deformation position. Preferably, the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 are made of stainless steel plated with gold. The first detection member 211 and the second detection member 212 are spring pins, and other components can also be selected, as long as they can conduct the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32.

[0062] In one embodiment, the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 are both metal spring sheets; the first end of the metal spring sheet used to contact the first detection member 211 and the second detection member 212 is bent into a ring shape or a nearly ring shape, thereby forming a first deformation position 312 and a third deformation position 322; the second end of the metal spring sheet opposite to the first end is bent into an L shape, thereby forming a fifth deformation position 314 and a sixth deformation position 324; the middle part of the metal spring sheet is bent into a wave shape, thereby forming a second deformation position 313 and a fourth deformation position 323.

[0063] The conductive member 33 is a ring body, which can be a circular ring, a square ring or other structures, and can realize the connection between the second end of the first contact member 31 and the second end of the second contact member 32. When the conductive member 33 is a circular ring, it is set in contact with the first socket 11. When the conductive member 33 is a square ring, the contact between the conductive member 33 and the first socket 11 is set in contact with the first socket 11. In other embodiments, the cross section of the conductive member 33 is an arc, that is, there is a gap on the side wall of the ring body. It is sufficient that the conductive member 33 can connect the second end of the first contact member 31 with the second end of the second contact member 32, and the size of the gap is not limited.

[0064] The airflow sensor 5 in the electronic atomization device determines whether the user is inhaling by detecting the change in air pressure. The controller 22 is also used to determine whether the number of air pressure changes in the electronic atomization device reaches a preset value based on the air pressure change detected by the airflow sensor 5. If the preset value is reached, the display light 6 set on the electronic atomization device reminds the user to replace the detachable insert 4. Among them, the airflow sensor 5 uses a microphone, and other components can also be used, as long as it can detect the change in air pressure.
