Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization device technology, and in particular to a button quick-release tooling and an electronic atomization device. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic atomizing devices heat the atomizing medium to form an aerosol using electrical heating. The device integrates the atomizer core, heating element, circuit board, and battery into a housing, and is controlled by mechanical buttons to turn it on and off. In related technologies, when removing the battery from the housing, the buttons obstruct the disassembly of the internal structure. While detachable, modular buttons could eliminate this obstruction, this would undoubtedly increase the number of parts in the electronic atomizing device, raising manufacturing costs and potentially affecting button reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a button quick-release tooling and an electronic atomizing device, and the technical solution adopted is as follows.
[0004] The quick-release tooling for buttons provided in this application includes a housing and a button assembly. The side wall of the housing is provided with a button hole. The button assembly is disposed in the housing and includes a button and a button bracket. The button is disposed in the button bracket and is located in the button hole. The first end of the button is provided with a recessed first space. When the button moves in a first direction parallel to the axial direction of the housing, the first space deforms and causes the side wall of the button hole to partially enter the first space, so that the second end of the button opposite to the first end separates from the side wall of the button hole.
[0005] In some embodiments of this application, the button includes a button cap, the outer surface of which protrudes from the outer surface of the housing.
[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the button includes a button cap, the outer surface of which does not protrude from the outer surface of the housing, and the inner surface of which does not protrude from the outer surface of the housing.
[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the button is made of a brittle material, a tough material, or a flexible material.
[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the button includes an elastic snap-fit structure disposed on the side of the button extending into the housing, the elastic snap-fit structure abutting against the inner surface of the housing, and the elastic snap-fit structure being used to abut against the side of the housing and the inner surface of the button cap to form the first space.
[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the button includes a button connecting portion disposed on the inner side of the button cap, the elastic snap-fit structure is connected to the button connecting portion, and the button connecting portion and the elastic snap-fit structure are spaced apart to form a second space.
[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the elastic snap-fit structure is provided at both ends of the button; or, the elastic snap-fit structure is configured as an annular shape and is arranged around the button connection portion.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the button connection portion is hollow to form a third space.
[0012] In some embodiments of this application, a pushing structure is provided on the side of the button bracket facing the second end of the button. When the button bracket moves along the first direction, the pushing structure abuts against the second end of the button and pushes the button out of the housing.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the jacking structure includes an inclined pressure surface; or, the jacking structure includes a stepped structure.
[0014] The electronic atomizing device provided in this application uses a quick-release button fixture. The electronic atomizing device includes an atomizing component and a housing. The atomizing component is used to heat the atomizing medium to generate an aerosol. A battery that powers the atomizing component is disposed inside the housing. A button hole is provided on the side wall of the housing. The button assembly is disposed in the housing. When the button is subjected to pressure perpendicular to the axial direction of the housing, the electronic atomizing device is started or stopped by pressing.
[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic atomizing device includes a battery holder disposed in the housing and connected to the button holder. When the battery holder is subjected to a pushing force, it can push the button holder in a first direction to move the button holder in the first direction.
[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the battery holder is provided with an interface for an external plug to be inserted, and the plug pushes the battery holder in a first direction.
[0017] The embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects: To disassemble the electronic atomizing device, the user can push the button in a first direction, causing the first end of the button to deform and the first space to engage with the side wall of the button hole. This shifts the button's position relative to the button hole along the first direction, separating the second end of the button from the side wall of the button hole, allowing the user to remove the button from the button hole from its second end. This removes the button's obstruction to the disassembly of the electronic atomizing device. This application can be widely applied in the field of electronic atomizing device technology.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 1-1 to 4-2 The embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0034] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] This application relates to an electronic atomizing device, which includes an atomizing component connected to an oil cup. The atomizing component is used to heat the atomizing medium to generate an aerosol. The atomizing component includes an atomizing core and a heating element, with electrodes connected to the heating element. The heating element generates heat through resistance heating.
[0036] The electronic atomizing device includes a housing 1000, which can be configured as a separate or integrated structure. A battery 4201, which powers the atomizing assembly, is housed within the housing 1000. The electronic atomizing device also includes a circuit board 4202 and electrodes. The battery 4201 is connected to the circuit board 4202, and the electrodes are also connected to the circuit board 4202. The circuit board 4202, through the electrodes, energizes the atomizing assembly, thereby activating the atomizing assembly and heating the atomizing medium.
[0037] This application relates to a quick-release fixture for a button, which includes a housing 1000 and a button assembly. The button assembly is disposed in the housing 1000 and is used to activate the atomizing assembly. Specifically, in conjunction with the attached... Figure 1-1 and attached Figure 1-2 The button assembly includes a button 2000, which is pressed to start or stop the electronic atomizing device. It should be noted that the button assembly is quickly detachable from the housing 1000. The button assembly is used in the electronic atomizing device, and the housing 1000 of the electronic atomizing device serves as the quick-release fixture for the button.
[0038] Understandably, the side wall of the housing 1000 is provided with a button hole, and the button 2000 is located in the button hole. The outer surface of the button 2000 is exposed at the button hole so that the user can press the button 2000. In a radial direction perpendicular to the axis of the housing 1000, the user applies pressure to the button 2000, and the button 2000 presses the tactile switch 4203 on the circuit board 4202, thereby turning the circuit board 4202 and the atomizing assembly on or off.
[0039] It should be noted that the battery 4201 is detachably installed in the casing for easy replacement and maintenance. In related technologies, the button 2000 would obstruct the removal of the battery 4201; therefore, in this application, the button 2000 is designed to be easily detached from the casing when removing the battery 4201.
[0040] Specifically, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 Appendix Figure 2-3 and appendix Figure 3-1 The first end of the button 2000 has a recessed first space 2101, which is a non-enclosed space. When the battery 4201 needs to be removed, the button 2000 moves in a first direction parallel to the axis of the electronic atomizing device. The first space 2101 deforms, causing the sidewall of the button hole to partially enter the first space 2101, thus shifting the position of the button 2000 in the button hole along the first direction. This causes the second end of the button 2000, opposite the first end, to separate from the sidewall of the button hole. At this time, the user can remove the button 2000 from the button hole from the second end, thus removing the obstruction of the button 2000 from removing the battery 4201.
[0041] Combined with appendix Figure 1-2 Appendix Figure 1-3 and appendix Figure 2-2 Appendix Figure 2-3 When button 2000 is in normal use, button 2000 abuts against the side wall of button hole, the first space 2101 is not deformed, and the side wall of button hole cannot enter the first space 2101. When button 2000 moves along the first direction, part of the structure of button 2000 deforms, causing the first space 2101 to deform, thereby allowing the side wall of button hole to partially engage with the first space 2101.
[0042] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3 Appendix Figure 2-3 and appendix Figure 3-1 The button 2000 includes a button cap 2200 located in the button hole. When a user applies radial pressure to the button cap 2200, the button 2000 can be pressed. Further, a first space 2101 is disposed inside the button cap 2200, and the side of the button cap 2200 abuts against the sidewall of the button hole. When the button 2000 is pushed and moves in a first direction, the button cap 2200 deforms, causing the first space 2101 to deform as well.
[0043] Furthermore, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 and attached Figure 2-3 The electronic atomizing device includes a button holder 3000, which is disposed in the housing, and a button 2000 is disposed in the button holder 3000. Specifically, the button holder 3000 is provided with a button receiving area 3100, which is recessed, and the button 2000 is arranged in the button receiving area 3100.
[0044] Understandably, in the electronic atomizing device, the button bracket 3000 serves to support and mount the button 2000. Moving the button bracket 3000 along the first direction applies a force along the first direction to the button 2000, causing the sidewall of the button hole to engage with the first space 2101 and the button 2000 to shift relative to the button hole along the first direction.
[0045] As one implementation method, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 3-2 and attached Figure 3-4 The button receiving area 3100 is recessed radially inward from the surface of the button holder 3000. Furthermore, in conjunction with the attached... Figure 3-3 The bottom of the button receiving area 3100 is provided with a through area 3101 so that the button 2000 can abut against the tactile switch 4203 at the through area 3101.
[0046] Combined with appendix Figure 3-3 and attached Figure 3-4The bottom of the button receiving area 3100 is provided with an elastic support portion 3102, which supports the button 2000. The elastic support portion 3102 can be deformed radially downwards to make it easier for the button 2000 to be pressed onto the tactile switch 4203 and to facilitate the rebound of the button 2000. Furthermore, the button receiving area 3100 is provided with elastic support portions 3102 on both sides of the through area 3101.
[0047] In some examples, the elastic support 3102 is configured as an elastic support sheet.
[0048] As one implementation method, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 and attached Figure 2-2 The electronic atomizing device includes a battery holder 4000, in which a battery 4201 is detachably disposed. The battery holder 4000 is disposed within a housing 1000. By removing the battery holder 4000 from the housing in a first direction, the battery 4201 can be installed or removed.
[0049] The battery bracket 4000 connects to the button bracket 3000, specifically, in conjunction with the attached... Figure 4-2 The button holder 3000 is disposed in the battery holder 4000 near the atomizing component, and the button holder 3000 can move with the battery holder 4000. It can be understood that when the battery holder 4000 is pushed, it can push the button holder 3000 in the first direction, so that the button holder 3000 moves in the first direction, and then the button holder 3000 applies a force to the button 2000 to cause deformation.
[0050] Furthermore, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 4-1 The battery holder 4000 is provided with an interface 4100, which is located at the end of the battery holder 4000 away from the atomizing component. The interface 4100 is located at the bottom of the electronic atomizing device and is exposed at the bottom of the housing. The interface 4100 is for external plug insertion.
[0051] When removing the battery 4201 and the battery bracket 4000, the user inserts the plug into the interface 4100 and pushes the battery bracket 4000 in the first direction through the plug, so that the battery bracket 4000 drives the button bracket 3000 to move, and the button bracket 3000 applies force to the button 2000.
[0052] As one implementation method, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 and attached Figure 2-3The button 2000 includes a resilient snap-fit structure 2300, which is disposed on the side of the button 2000 that extends into the housing. The resilient snap-fit structure 2300 is located on the side of the button 2000 facing the button hole sidewall and abuts against the inner surface of the housing 1000 to prevent the button 2000 from falling out of the button hole and improve the installation stability of the button 2000 in the housing 1000.
[0053] Combined with appendix Figure 3-1 The button 2000 includes a button connecting portion 2400, which is disposed on the inner side of the button cap 2200. An elastic snap-fit structure 2300 is connected to the button connecting portion 2400. Further, the button connecting portion 2400 and the elastic snap-fit structure 2300 are spaced apart to form a second space 2102, which serves as a reserved space for the deformation of the elastic snap-fit structure 2300.
[0054] Understandably, when the button 2000 is inserted into the housing 1000 from the button hole, the button 2000 is inserted radially, and the sidewall of the button hole presses against the elastic locking structure 2300, causing the elastic locking structure 2300 to deform towards the button connection portion 2400 and tilt towards the second space 2102. After the button 2000 is inserted into the housing 1000, the elastic locking structure 2300 returns to its original shape and abuts against the inner surface of the housing 1000.
[0055] In some examples, combined with appendix Figure 3-1 Each end of the button 2000 is provided with a resilient locking structure 2300, which is configured as a resilient locking arm. By providing resilient locking structures 2300 at both ends of the button 2000, force balance can be ensured when the button 2000 is assembled into the housing 1000. In this case, when the first space at the first end of the button 2000 deforms and the side wall of the button hole engages, the resilient locking structure 2300 at the second end of the button 2000 moves to a position where it no longer abuts against the inner surface of the housing 1000, thus releasing its contact with the inner surface of the housing 1000.
[0056] Regarding the setting of the elastic snap-fit structure 2300, at least one alternative design is that the elastic snap-fit structure 2300 is set in a ring shape and the elastic snap-fit structure 2300 is arranged around the button connection part 2400. In this case, the second space 2102 is formed as a ring space.
[0057] It should be noted that the elastic snap-fit structure 2300 has a side for abutting against the housing 1000, combined with the attached... Figure 3-1The elastic snap-fit structure 2300 abuts against the side of the housing 1000 and the inner surface of the keycap 2200 to form a first space 2101. Further, the first space 2101 has an opening facing the sidewall of the keyhole. In this case, when the key 2000 moves along the first direction, the side of the elastic snap-fit structure 2300 abutting against the housing 1000 moves along the inner surface of the housing 1000, and the keycap 2200 deforms to deform the opening of the first space 2101, thereby allowing the sidewall of the keyhole to enter the first space 2101 from the opening.
[0058] In some examples, combined with appendix Figure 3-1 The button connection part 2400 is hollow to form a third space 2103, so that the button 2000 can be deformed more easily, which helps the first space 2101 of the button 2000 to deform.
[0059] In one implementation, after the second end of the button 2000 separates from the side wall of the button hole, the user can use tweezers or a screwdriver to pry up the second end of the button 2000 and remove the button 2000.
[0060] As an alternative implementation, when the button bracket 3000 moves along the first direction and applies a thrust offset along the first direction to the button 2000, the button bracket 3000 simultaneously applies a radial thrust to the button 2000 to push the second end of the button 2000 outward toward the housing 1000, thereby realizing that the second end of the button 2000 automatically tilts outward.
[0061] Specifically, a push structure is provided on the side of the button bracket 3000 facing the second end of the button 2000. The push structure is located on the side of the button receiving area 3100. When the button bracket 3000 moves in the first direction, the push structure abuts against the second end of the button 2000 and pushes the button 2000 out of the housing 1000.
[0062] When the button bracket 3000 moves along the first direction and pushes the button 2000 to move along the first direction, the movement range of the button bracket 3000 is greater than that of the button 2000. As a result, the button bracket 3000 moves relative to the button 2000 along the first direction. When the first space 2101 of the button 2000 engages with the side wall of the button hole, the second end of the button 2000 is pushed and lifted by the push structure of the button bracket 3000. This achieves separation of the second end of the button 2000 from the side wall of the button hole and avoids the button bracket 3000 moving along the first direction.
[0063] In some examples, the push-up structure includes an inclined pressure surface that abuts against the button 2000. It is understood that the push-up structure applies a pushing force to the button 2000 via the pressure surface, with a component of the pushing force along a first direction used to move the button 2000 along that first direction, and a radial component of the pushing force used to lift a second end of the button 2000.
[0064] Regarding the configuration of the jacking structure, at least one alternative configuration is possible: combining with the attached... Figure 3-2 and attached Figure 3-4 The push-up structure includes a stepped structure 3200, and at least one stepped structure 3200 is provided on the same side of the button receiving area 3100.
[0065] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the keycap 2200 protrudes beyond the outer surface of the housing 1000. In this case, when the key 2000 moves along the first direction, the keycap 2200 is squeezed and deformed by the sidewall of the key hole, and the keycap 2200 deforms outward from the housing 1000, thereby causing the sidewall of the key hole to enter the first space 2101.
[0066] As an alternative implementation, the outer surface of the keycap 2200 does not protrude from the outer surface of the housing 1000, and the inner surface of the keycap 2200 does not protrude from the outer surface of the housing 1000. In this case, the thickness of the keycap 2200 does not exceed the thickness of the sidewall of the housing 1000.
[0067] It should be noted that the button 2000 is made of a brittle material, and the hardness of the button 2000 is lower than that of the housing 1000, so that the first space 2101 of the button 2000 is easily deformable. Alternatively, the button 2000 can be made of a tough or flexible material.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
