Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerosol atomization technology, and more particularly to a host, an aerosol generation device, and a liquid separation method. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol generators are products that produce aerosols by burning an atomizing liquid through an atomizer. Due to their ease of use and the ability to modify the flavor through the atomizing liquid, they have seen widespread and rapid adoption in domestic and international markets in recent years. However, existing aerosol generators generally lack a child lock function when the atomizing component is used with the main unit, making them susceptible to accidental inhalation by children while playing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a host, an aerosol generating device, and a liquid separation method, aiming to solve the technical problem that traditional devices without child lock functions are easily inhaled by children while playing.

The rotating bracket has a second liquid guiding hole, and the first bracket has a second mounting hole opposite to the position of the first mounting hole. The rotating bracket is rotatably disposed in the second mounting hole. In the liquid supply state, the rotating bracket rotates to a position where the second liquid guiding hole is connected to the first liquid guiding hole.

[0012] The housing has a first opening, and a first liquid guide hole is located on the side of the first support facing the first opening. The housing also has a spring needle seat, which is located on the side of the first support away from the first opening. The spring needle seat is fitted with a first spring needle and a second spring needle that are connected to the two poles of the battery. A third spring needle and a fourth spring needle, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the heating unit, are inserted on the rotating support. In the liquid supply state, the first spring needle and the third spring needle abut against each other, and the second spring needle and the fourth spring needle abut against each other. In the sealing state, the first spring needle and the third spring needle are separated, and the second spring needle and the fourth spring needle are separated.

[0015] The aerosol generating device also includes a liquid storage cup. When the aerosol generating device includes a first opening, the first end of the liquid storage cup can be rotatably inserted into the housing through the first opening. When the liquid storage cup is inserted into the housing and abuts against the first support, it has a first rotational position that is connected to the first liquid guide hole and a second rotational position that is disconnected from the first liquid guide hole. The end of the liquid storage cup facing the main unit has a second opening, and a bottom shell is provided at the second opening. A third liquid guide hole is provided on the bottom shell. In the first rotational position, the third liquid guide hole is connected to the first liquid guide hole, and in the second rotational position, the third liquid guide hole is disconnected from the first liquid guide hole.

[0016] In some implementations...

[0017] The outer peripheral wall of the liquid storage cup has a second protrusion, and the inner wall of the housing has a second arc-shaped groove extending circumferentially and a second insertion groove communicating with the end of the housing away from the liquid storage cup; in the first rotation position, the second protrusion is locked in the second arc-shaped groove at the end away from the second insertion groove; in the second rotation position, the second protrusion can be unlocked through the second insertion groove and the second arc-shaped groove.

[0020] The present invention also provides a liquid separation method for the above-mentioned aerosol generating apparatus.

[0021] When the user is using the aerosol generating device, rotate the atomizing component to the liquid supply state to make the atomizing component connect with the first liquid guide hole; when the user is not using the aerosol generating device, rotate the atomizing component to the blocking state to block the first liquid guide hole.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the host, aerosol generating device and liquid separation method of the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This invention discloses a host device, an aerosol generating apparatus, and a liquid separation method. The host device includes an atomizing component, a housing, and a first support disposed inside the housing. The housing has a first mounting hole. The atomizing component is rotatably mounted on the first support through the first mounting hole. The first support has a first liquid guiding hole. When the atomizing component rotates on the first support, it has a liquid supply state communicating with the first liquid guiding hole and a liquid blocking state blocking the first liquid guiding hole. Specifically, since the atomizing component is rotatably mounted on the first support through the first mounting hole, it can supply liquid to the first liquid through the first mounting hole. A rotating atomizing component is mounted on a support frame. The support frame has a first liquid guide hole containing atomizing liquid. When the atomizing component rotates on the support frame, it is in a liquid supply state, communicating with the first liquid guide hole. In this state, the first liquid guide hole can introduce the atomizing liquid into the atomizing component, which then atomizes the liquid for the user to inhale. Conversely, when the atomizing component rotates on the support frame, it is in a blocked state, preventing the liquid from being introduced into the atomizing component. Therefore, when the user is not inhaling, the atomizing component can be rotated to the blocked state. Thus, the main unit of this invention can cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling, preventing accidental triggering and also preventing accidental inhalation by children while playing, thereby improving product safety.

[0039] like Figure 1-8As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a host for an aerosol generating device, comprising: an atomizing component, a housing 1, and a first support 2 disposed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 has a first mounting hole 11. The atomizing component is rotatably disposed on the first support 2 via the first mounting hole 11. The first support 2 has a first liquid guiding hole 21. When the atomizing component rotates on the first support 2, it has a liquid supply state that is in communication with the first liquid guiding hole 21 and a blocking state that blocks the first liquid guiding hole 21.

[0040] In this embodiment, the main unit is used for an aerosol generating device, including: an atomizing component, a housing 1, and a first support 2 disposed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 has a first mounting hole 11. The atomizing component is rotatably mounted on the first support 2 through the first mounting hole 11. The first support 2 has a first liquid guiding hole 21. When the atomizing component rotates on the first support 2, it has a liquid supply state that is in communication with the first liquid guiding hole 21 and a blocking state that blocks the first liquid guiding hole 21. Specifically, since the atomizing component is rotatably mounted on the first support 2 through the first mounting hole 11, the first support 2 can be connected through the first mounting hole 11. The atomizing component rotates on the first support 2. The first support 2 has a first liquid guide hole 21 containing atomizing liquid. When the atomizing component rotates on the first support 2, it is in a liquid supply state connected to the first liquid guide hole 21. In this state, the first liquid guide hole 21 can introduce the atomizing liquid into the atomizing component, which then atomizes the liquid for the user to inhale. Conversely, when the atomizing component rotates on the first support 2, it is in a blocked state, preventing the liquid from being introduced into the atomizing component. Therefore, when the user is not inhaling, the atomizing component can be rotated to the blocked state on the first support 2. Thus, the main unit of this invention can cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling, preventing accidental triggering and also preventing children from accidentally inhaling the liquid while playing, thereby improving product safety.

[0041] In some implementations...

[0042] The atomizing assembly includes a rotating bracket 31 and a heating unit 32 located inside the rotating bracket 31. The rotating bracket 31 has a second liquid guiding hole 311, and the first bracket 2 has a second mounting hole 22 opposite to the position of the first mounting hole 11. The rotating bracket 31 is rotatably disposed in the second mounting hole 22. In the liquid supply state, the rotating bracket 31 rotates to a position where the second liquid guiding hole 311 is connected to the first liquid guiding hole 21. In the blocking state, the rotating bracket 31 rotates to a position where the second liquid guiding hole 311 is disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21.

[0043] In this embodiment, the atomizing component includes a rotating bracket 31 and a heating unit 32 located inside the rotating bracket 31. The rotating bracket 31 has a second liquid guiding hole 311, and the first bracket 2 has a second mounting hole 22 opposite to the first mounting hole 11. The rotating bracket 31 is rotatably disposed in the second mounting hole 22. In the liquid supply state, the rotating bracket 31 rotates to a position where the second liquid guiding hole 311 communicates with the first liquid guiding hole 21. Therefore, at this time, the atomized liquid in the first liquid guiding hole 21 can be guided to the interior of the rotating bracket 31 through the second liquid guiding hole 311 on the rotating bracket 31. The heating unit 32 inside the rotating bracket 31 heats and atomizes the atomized liquid to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. In the blocking state, the rotating bracket 31 rotates to a position where the second liquid guiding hole 311 is disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21, cutting off the supply of atomized liquid to the rotating bracket 31. Therefore, the main unit of this invention can cut off the supply of atomized liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling, preventing accidental triggering and also preventing children from accidentally inhaling while playing, thus improving product safety.

[0044] In some implementations...

[0045] The atomizing assembly may also include sealing silicone, which is mounted on the rotating bracket 31 for fixing the heating unit 32.

[0046] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly may also include a knob connected to the rotating bracket 31 at the first mounting hole 11. The user can rotate the rotating bracket 31 by rotating the knob to switch the atomizing assembly between the liquid supply state and the blocking state, which is convenient for operation.

[0047] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the knob has a third boss, and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 11 has an annular baffle arranged circumferentially, with a baffle notch to allow the third boss of the knob to move from the side of the annular baffle away from the first bracket 2 to the side closer to the first bracket 2.

[0048] In some embodiments, the knob has a handle groove on the side away from the first bracket 2, and a handle is provided in the handle groove. One end of the handle is rotatably disposed in the handle groove so that the handle can extend or retract into the handle groove. When it is necessary to rotate the knob, the handle is extended out of the handle groove for easy rotation. When it is not necessary to rotate the knob, the handle is retracted into the handle groove, which is aesthetically pleasing and portable.

[0049] In some implementations...

[0050] The inner wall of the second mounting hole 22 has a first boss, and the outer wall of the rotating bracket 31 has a first arc-shaped groove 312 extending circumferentially and a first insertion groove 313 connecting the first arc-shaped groove 312 with the end of the rotating bracket 31 away from the first mounting hole 11. In the liquid supply state, the first boss is locked in the first arc-shaped groove 312 away from the end of the first insertion groove 313. In the blocking state, the first boss can be unlocked through the first insertion groove 313 and the first arc-shaped groove 312.

[0051] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the second mounting hole 22 has a first boss, and the outer wall of the rotating bracket 31 has a first arc-shaped groove 312 extending circumferentially and a first insertion groove 313 communicating with the end of the rotating bracket 31 away from the first mounting hole 11. In the liquid supply state, the first boss is locked in the first arc-shaped groove 312 away from the first insertion groove 313. In the blocking state, the first boss can be unlocked from the first arc-shaped groove 312 via the first insertion groove 313. Specifically, when the rotating bracket 31 is installed in the second mounting hole 22 of the first bracket 2, the first boss slides around the rotating bracket 31 in the first arc-shaped groove 312. When the rotating bracket 31 is rotated so that the end of the first arc-shaped groove 312 away from the first insertion groove 313 is attached to the first boss, it is in the liquid supply state. When the rotating bracket 31 is rotated so that the position where the first arc-shaped groove 312 and the first insertion groove 313 meet gradually approaches the first boss, the liquid supply state gradually switches to the blocking state. When the rotating bracket 31 is rotated so that the first boss is located at the position where the first arc-shaped groove 312 and the first insertion groove 313 meet, the rotating bracket 31 can be taken out through the extension direction of the first insertion groove 313. Therefore, the first boss on the inner wall of the second mounting hole 22 cooperates with the first arc-shaped groove 312 and the first insertion groove 313 of the rotating bracket 31 to take out or put in the second mounting hole 22. That is, the atomizing component can be taken out or put in the second mounting hole 22. The atomizing component can be reused and replaced. When the atomizing component is rotated for replacement, the oil circuit can be closed, reducing the purchase cost for consumers.

[0053] The housing 1 is also equipped with a battery 4. When the liquid is supplied, the heating unit 32 can be connected to the battery 4; when the housing is sealed, the heating unit 32 can be disconnected from the battery 4.

[0054] In this embodiment, a battery 4 is also installed inside the housing 1. When the liquid is supplied, the heating unit 32 can be connected to the battery 4; when the liquid is blocked, the heating unit 32 can be disconnected from the battery 4. When the atomizing component is rotated, the main unit of the present invention can cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling. The reliability of the child lock function of the present invention is improved by the double protection of sealing the oil circuit and cutting off the circuit, preventing accidental triggering, and also preventing children from accidentally inhaling while playing, thus improving the safety of the product.

[0055] In addition, the atomizing component can be rotated to close the oil circuit and cut off the circuit when it is replaced. The atomizing component can be reused and replaced, reducing the purchase cost for consumers.

[0056] In some implementations...

[0057] The housing 1 has a first opening 12, and a first liquid guiding hole 21 is located on the side of the first support 2 facing the first opening 12. The housing 1 also has a spring needle seat 5, which is located on the side of the first support 2 away from the first opening 12. The spring needle seat 5 is fitted with a first spring needle 51 and a second spring needle 52 that are connected to the two poles of the battery 4. A third spring needle 33 and a fourth spring needle 34 that are respectively connected to the two ends of the heating unit 32 are inserted on the rotating support 31. In the liquid supply state, the first spring needle 51 and the third spring needle 33 abut against each other, and the second spring needle 52 and the fourth spring needle 34 abut against each other. In the sealing state, the first spring needle 51 and the third spring needle 33 are separated, and the second spring needle 52 and the fourth spring needle 34 are separated.

[0058] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has a first opening 12, and a first liquid guiding hole 21 is located on the side of the first support 2 facing the first opening 12. The housing 1 also has a spring pin seat 5, located on the side of the first support 2 away from the first opening 12. The spring pin seat 5 is fitted with a first spring pin 51 and a second spring pin 52, which are connected to the two terminals of the battery 4. A third spring pin 33 and a fourth spring pin 34, respectively connected to the two ends of the heating unit 32, are inserted on the rotating support 31. In the liquid supply state, the first spring pin 51 abuts against the third spring pin 33, and the second spring pin 52 abuts against the fourth spring pin 34. Specifically, since the first spring pin 51 and the second spring pin 52 are located in the spring pin seat 5, the two terminals of the battery 4 are respectively connected to the first spring pin 51 and the second spring pin 52. The rotating bracket 31 is fitted with a third spring pin 33 and a fourth spring pin 34, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the heating unit 32. In the liquid supply state, the first spring pin 51 abuts against the third spring pin 33, and the second spring pin 52 abuts against the fourth spring pin 34, thus connecting the battery 4 and the heating unit 32. In the blocking state, the first spring pin 51 separates from the third spring pin 33, and the second spring pin 52 separates from the fourth spring pin 34, thus disconnecting the battery 4 and the heating unit 32. Therefore, the main unit of the present invention can cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling. The double insurance of sealing the oil circuit and cutting off the circuit improves the reliability of the child lock function of the present invention, prevents accidental triggering, and also prevents children from accidentally inhaling while playing, thus improving the safety of the product.

[0059] It should be noted that the first bracket 2 has a clearance hole so that, in the liquid supply state, the third spring pin 33 and the fourth spring pin 34 can extend from the clearance hole into the first bracket 2, so that the first spring pin 51 abuts against the third spring pin 33 and the second spring pin 52 abuts against the fourth spring pin 34, thus connecting the battery 4 and the heating unit 32; or, in the liquid supply state, the first spring pin 51 and the second spring pin 52 can extend into the first bracket 2 from the clearance hole, so that the first spring pin 51 abuts against the third spring pin 33 and the second spring pin 52 abuts against the fourth spring pin 34, thus connecting the battery 4 and the heating unit 32; or, the first bracket 2 has a clearance space between the rotating bracket 31 and the spring pin seat 5, so that, in the liquid supply state, the first spring pin 51 can abut against the third spring pin 33 and the second spring pin 52 can abut against the fourth spring pin 34.

[0060] The bottom of the housing 1 is equipped with a microphone, and an air inlet is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 opposite to the microphone.

[0061] The present invention also provides an aerosol generating apparatus, including the aforementioned host unit.

[0062] In some implementations...

[0063] The aerosol generating device also includes a liquid storage cup 6. When the aerosol generating device includes a first opening 12, the first end of the liquid storage cup 6 can be rotatably inserted into the housing 1 through the first opening 12. When the liquid storage cup 6 is inserted into the housing 1 and abuts against the first support 2, it has a first rotational position that communicates with the first liquid guiding hole 21 and a second rotational position that is disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21.

[0064] In this embodiment, the aerosol generating device further includes a liquid storage cup 6. When the aerosol generating device includes a first opening 12, the first end of the liquid storage cup 6 is rotatably inserted into the housing 1 through the first opening 12. When the liquid storage cup 6 is inserted into the housing 1 and abuts against the first support 2, it has a first rotational position communicating with the first liquid guiding hole 21 and a second rotational position disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21. Specifically, when the first end of the liquid storage cup 6 is rotatably inserted into the housing 1 through the first opening 12, and the liquid storage cup 6 is inserted into the housing 1 and abuts against the first support 2, it can be positioned relative to the housing 1. When the liquid storage cup 6 is rotated to the first rotation position, the liquid storage cup 6 is connected to the first liquid guide hole 21, supplying liquid through the atomizing component. The heating unit 32 in the atomizing component atomizes the liquid to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. When rotated to the second rotation position, the liquid storage cup 6 is disconnected from the first liquid guide hole 21, cutting off the liquid supply channel between the liquid storage cup 6 and the atomizing component. Therefore, the liquid storage cup 6 of the present invention can cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling by rotating, preventing accidental triggering and also preventing children from accidentally inhaling while playing, thus improving the safety of the product.

[0065] In some implementations...

[0066] The liquid storage cup 6 has a second opening at one end facing the main unit. The second opening is provided with a bottom shell 61. A third liquid guiding hole 62 is provided on the bottom shell 61. In the first rotation position, the third liquid guiding hole 62 is connected to the first liquid guiding hole 21. In the second rotation position, the third liquid guiding hole 62 is disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21.

[0067] In this embodiment, the end of the liquid storage cup 6 facing the main unit has a second opening, and a bottom shell 61 is provided at the second opening. A third liquid guiding hole 62 is provided on the bottom shell 61. In the first rotation position, the third liquid guiding hole 62 is connected to the first liquid guiding hole 21. In the second rotation position, the third liquid guiding hole 62 is disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21. By providing a third liquid guiding hole 62 on the bottom shell 61, and ensuring that the third liquid guiding hole 62 is connected to the first liquid guiding hole 21 in the first rotation position and disconnected from the first liquid guiding hole 21 in the second rotation position, this embodiment enables the liquid storage cup 6 of the present invention to cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component when the user is not inhaling by rotating, preventing accidental triggering and also preventing children from accidentally inhaling it while playing, thus improving the safety of the product.

[0068] In some implementations...

[0069] The outer peripheral wall of the liquid storage cup 6 has a second protrusion 63, and the inner wall of the housing 1 has a second arcuate groove 13 extending circumferentially and a second insertion groove 14 communicating with the end of the housing 1 away from the liquid storage cup 6; in the first rotation position, the second protrusion 63 is locked in the second arcuate groove 13 away from the second insertion groove 14; in the second rotation position, the second protrusion 63 can be unlocked from the second arcuate groove 13 via the second insertion groove 14.

[0070] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the liquid storage cup 6 has a second protrusion 63, and the inner wall of the housing 1 has a second arc-shaped groove 13 extending circumferentially and a second insertion groove 14 communicating with the end of the housing 1 away from the liquid storage cup 6. In the first rotation position, the second protrusion 63 is locked in the second arc-shaped groove 13 away from the second insertion groove 14. In the second rotation position, the second protrusion 63 can be unlocked from the second arc-shaped groove 13 via the second insertion groove 14. Specifically, when the liquid storage cup 6 is rotated and installed in the housing 1, it can be inserted along the second insertion groove 14 by the second protrusion 63, and then the liquid storage cup 6 is rotated to lock the second protrusion 63 in the second arc-shaped groove 13, thereby locking the liquid storage cup 6 with the housing 1. In addition, the first rotation position is when the second protrusion 63 rotates to the end of the second arc-shaped groove 13 away from the second insertion groove 14. The second rotation position is when the second protrusion 63 rotates to the position where the second arc-shaped groove 13 intersects with the second insertion groove 14.

[0071] Therefore, the second protrusion 63, the second arc-shaped groove 13 and the second insertion groove 14 cooperate to quickly lock the liquid storage cup 6 onto the housing 1, which is convenient for installation and disassembly. At the same time, it realizes the opening and closing of the liquid circuit. The liquid storage cup 6 of the present invention can cut off the supply of atomizing liquid to the atomizing component by rotating when the user is not sucking, which prevents accidental triggering and can also prevent children from accidentally inhaling it while playing, thus improving the safety of the product.

[0072] In some implementations...

[0073] The liquid storage cup 6 also has an air guide tube 64. When the liquid storage cup 6 is inserted into the housing 1, the air guide tube 64 is connected to the atomizing component.

[0074] In this embodiment, the liquid storage cup 6 also has an air guide tube 64. When the liquid storage cup 6 is inserted into the housing 1, the air guide tube 64 is connected to the atomizing component, and the air guide tube 64 and the inlet hole of the atomizing component form an air passage.

[0075] Of course, the vent pipe 64 can also be configured to open and close when the liquid reservoir 6 rotates, through...

[0076] The liquid storage cup 6 of this invention can be rotated to the air passage connection position when the user is inhaling and to the air passage cut off position when the user is not in use. This achieves the purpose of cutting off the air passage when the user is not inhaling by rotating the cup, preventing accidental triggering, and also preventing children from accidentally inhaling the liquid while playing, thus improving the safety of the product.

[0077] The present invention also provides a liquid separation method for the above-mentioned aerosol generating apparatus.

[0078] When the user is using the aerosol generating device, rotate the atomizing component to the liquid supply state to make the atomizing component connect with the first liquid guide hole 21; when the user is not using the aerosol generating device, rotate the atomizing component to the blocking state to block the first liquid guide hole 21.

[0079] In summary, this invention features an atomizing component on the main unit. By rotating the knob of the atomizing component, the rotating bracket 31 rotates, thereby opening and closing the liquid path and electrodes on the rotating bracket 31, achieving a child lock function that cuts off the liquid and power. Furthermore, the atomizing core component can be removed and replaced through the locking structure of the annular baffle at the first opening 12 of the rotating bracket 31 and the baffle notch. Because it has multiple locking structures, it is difficult for children to open. Moreover, the liquid reservoir 6 can be rotated to correspond to the closed or open state of the liquid path, and the liquid path and electrical circuit of the atomizing core component can be opened and closed, achieving multiple child lock functions, making it more difficult to open and improving the reliability of the child lock.

[0080] The present invention provides an atomizing component on the main unit. The housing 1 of the main unit and the first bracket 2 disposed inside the housing 1 have a second mounting hole 22. The inner wall of the second mounting hole 22 has a first boss. The outer wall of the rotating bracket 31 has a first arc-shaped groove 312 extending circumferentially and a first insertion groove 313 communicating with the end of the rotating bracket 31 away from the first mounting hole 11. In the liquid supply state, the first boss is locked in the first arc-shaped groove 312 away from the first insertion groove 313. In the blocking state, the first boss can be unlocked from the first arc-shaped groove 312 via the first insertion groove 313.

[0081] The atomizing assembly may also include a knob connected to the rotating bracket 31 at the first mounting hole 11. The user can rotate the rotating bracket 31 by rotating the knob to switch the atomizing assembly between the liquid supply state and the blocking state, which is convenient for operation.

[0082] The knob has a handle groove on the side away from the first bracket 2. A handle is provided in the handle groove, and one end of the handle is rotatably set in the handle groove so that the handle can extend or retract into the handle groove. When it is necessary to rotate the knob, the handle is extended out of the handle groove for easy rotation. When it is not necessary to rotate the knob, the handle is retracted into the handle groove, which is both aesthetically pleasing and portable.

[0083] Specifically,

[0084] The first protrusion slides around the rotating bracket 31 in the first arc groove 312. When the rotating bracket 31 is rotated so that the end of the first arc groove 312 away from the first loading groove 313 is attached to the first protrusion, it is in the liquid supply state. At this time, the rotating bracket 31 is locked with the first bracket 2.

[0085] When the atomizing component needs to be removed, when the rotating bracket 31 is installed in the second mounting hole 22 of the first bracket 2, the handle is pulled out from the handle groove, the knob is rotated by the handle, and the rotating bracket 31 is rotated by the knob. Rotating the rotating bracket 31 can make the position where the first arc groove 312 and the first insertion groove 313 are connected gradually approach the first boss, and gradually switch from the liquid supply state to the blocking state.

[0086] When the rotating bracket 31 is rotated so that the first boss is in the position where the first arc groove 312 and the first loading groove 313 meet, the rotating bracket 31 is unlocked from the first bracket 2. The rotating bracket 31 can be taken out through the extension direction of the first loading groove 313 by turning the knob; the loading step and the taking out step are exactly the opposite.

[0087] Of course, a third protrusion can be provided on the outer periphery of the knob. An annular baffle is provided on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 11 along the circumferential direction. The annular baffle has a baffle notch to allow the third protrusion of the knob to move from the side of the annular baffle away from the first bracket 2 to the side closer to the first bracket 2. When the handle drives the knob to rotate to the first preset position, the third protrusion is blocked by the annular baffle and the rotating bracket 31 cannot be taken out by turning the knob. When the handle drives the knob to rotate to the second preset position, the third protrusion is opposite to the baffle notch of the annular baffle and the rotating bracket 31 can be taken out by turning the knob.

[0088] Alternatively, an elastic element can be provided at the end where the handle is rotatably connected to the handle groove. The elastic element can drive the third protrusion to extend and retract. At this time, the annular baffle does not have a baffle notch. When the handle is in the handle groove, the third protrusion can extend and lock with the annular baffle. The rotating bracket 31 cannot be removed by turning the knob. When the handle is pulled out of the handle groove, the third protrusion is pulled back. At this time, the third protrusion is unlocked from the annular baffle. The rotating bracket 31 can be removed by turning the knob, which makes it convenient to replace the heating unit of the atomizing component using the handle. It can also serve as a child lock.

[0089] Therefore, the first protrusion on the inner wall of the second mounting hole 22 cooperates with the first arc-shaped groove 312 and the first insertion groove 313 of the rotating bracket 31 to allow the rotating bracket 31 to be removed or installed from the second mounting hole 22. That is, the atomizing component can be removed or installed from the second mounting hole 22. The atomizing component can be reused and replaced. When the atomizing component is rotated for replacement, the oil circuit can be closed, reducing the purchase cost for consumers.

[0090] In addition, when the knob drives the rotating bracket 31 to rotate to the unlocked position with the first bracket 2, the knob can be separated from the rotating bracket 31. After rotating a certain angle, the knob is unlocked from the annular baffle. Specifically, a spiral guide groove and a slider that cooperates with the spiral guide groove can be set circumferentially between the knob and the first opening 12 to realize that the knob can be separated from or locked with the rotating bracket 31 when it rotates. A locking groove and a locking block are set between the rotating bracket 31 and the knob. When the knob is separated from the rotating bracket 31, the locking block is located outside the locking groove. When the knob is locked with the rotating bracket 31, the locking block is inserted into the locking groove to realize the separation and locking of the knob and the rotating bracket 31.

[0091] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working processes of the devices, apparatuses, and units described above can be referred to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0092] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
