Specific embodiments

[0034] The present application is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are for making the present application better understood. However, those skilled in the art can effortlessly recognize that some features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, and this is to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations according to the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0035] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments, and the operation steps involved in each embodiment can also be replaced or adjusted in order in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment, and do not mean that the composition and / or order are necessary.

[0036] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0037] The present application provides an atomization device 1, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the atomization device 1 may include a housing 11, a button 13 and a switch 14. The housing 11 may have a mounting hole 12 arranged along the aa axis direction. The button 13 may be installed in the mounting hole 12 along the aa axis direction. The switch 14 is installed in the housing 11. The switch 14 is used to start or stop atomization. The housing 11 has an elastic reset portion 15. At least part of the elastic reset portion 15 is located in the mounting hole 12. The button 13 is supported on the elastic reset portion 15. When the button 13 is pressed, the button 13 can move along the aa axis direction to trigger the switch 14. When the button 13 is released, the button 13 can be reset by the elastic force of the elastic reset portion 15 to move away from the switch 14.

[0038] In this way, since the shell 11 is provided with an elastic reset portion 15 located in the mounting hole 12, the button 13 is supported on the elastic reset portion 15, so that when the button 13 moves toward the switch 14 along the aa axis direction, the elastic reset portion 15 can continuously accumulate elastic force. When the button 13 is released, the button 13 can be reset and away from the switch 14 under the elastic force of the elastic reset portion 15, so that the atomizer 1 can still achieve the function of resetting the button 13 after pressing without separately providing a spring or elastic bracket. Therefore, the atomizer 1 provided by the present application not only reduces the types and costs of parts, but also in the process of assembling the button 13, it is only necessary to install the button 13 on the elastic reset portion 15, without the need to assemble redundant parts such as springs or elastic brackets, which is conducive to avoiding the problem of parts loss of the atomizer 1.

[0039] Among them, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the drawings of the following embodiments, the hollow parts such as holes, grooves, openings will be marked with arrow-marked lines, and the remaining parts will be marked with arrow-free lines. For example, the marking lines shown in the mounting hole 12 will not be repeated below. In addition, the housing 50 can be set to a box-shaped, columnar or strip-shaped structural shape, and the atomizer 1 can also include components such as an atomizer component and a power supply component 40. The atomizer component can be used to atomize the aerosol matrix, and the power supply component can be used to provide the power required for the normal operation of the atomizer component. The switch 14 can be a touch switch connected to a circuit board, or it can be a micro switch separately arranged in the housing 11. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structure of the atomizer 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the housing 11 and the button 13 may be provided with a first limiting portion 16 , and the button 13 can be limited in the mounting hole 12 by the first limiting portion 16 when the button 13 is away from the switch 14 .

[0041] In this way, when the button 13 is released, the first limiter 16 can limit the movement of the button 13, thereby preventing the button 13 from being separated from the atomizer 1. According to different structural designs of the atomizer 1, the first limiter 16 can be set on the housing 11, or on the button 13, or on both the housing 11 and the button 13. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific location of the first limiter 16.

[0042] Specifically, if Figures 3 to 5As shown, the housing 11 may include a first housing 111 and a second housing 112, and the mounting hole 12 may include a first mounting hole 121 provided in the first housing 111 and a second mounting hole 122 provided in the second housing 112. The first housing 111 is sleeved in the second housing 112, and the elastic reset portion 15 is provided in the first mounting hole 121, the button 13 passes through the first mounting hole 121 and the second mounting hole 122, and the first limiting portion 16 is provided in the second housing 112 and located at the position of the second mounting hole 122, so that the button 13 can abut against the first limiting portion 16 when it is away from the switch 14.

[0043] Therefore, when assembling the button 13, the button 13 can be first placed on the elastic reset portion 15 of the first shell 111, and then the first shell 111 can be sleeved in the second shell 112, so that the button 13 can abut against the first limiting portion 16 under the elastic action of the elastic reset portion 15 to prevent the button 13 from being separated from the atomization device 1. Among them, the caliber of the second mounting hole 122 can be smaller than the caliber of the first mounting hole 121, so that the second shell 112 can form a first limiting portion 16 in the shape of a limiting step at the position of the second mounting hole 122, and then the button 13 can abut on the limiting step. Of course, the first limiting portion 16 can also be set as a structural form such as a baffle or a limiting groove formed on the second shell 112, and the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structure of the first limiting portion 16.

[0044] In addition, in other embodiments, when the housing 11 is a single-layer structure (i.e., the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are an integral structure), the first limiting portion 16 can also be provided on the button 13. For example, the button 13 can be provided in a structure with large ends and a small middle, so that the button 13 can be snapped onto the elastic reset portion 15, and the button 13 can also be prevented from being separated from the atomizing device 1. Alternatively, the first limiting portion 16 can also include a limiting groove provided on the second housing 112, and a limiting convex point provided on the button 13, and the function of limiting the button 13 can also be realized by snapping the limiting groove and the limiting convex point.

[0045] When the housing 11 includes the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, as shown in FIG. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the button 13 can be provided with a first end 131, abutment portion 133 and a second end 132, the first end 131 passes through the first mounting hole 121 and is close to the switch 14, the second end 132 is arranged in the second mounting hole 122, the abutment portion 133 is arranged between the first end 131 and the second end 132, the abutment portion 133 is supported on the elastic reset portion 15 and can abut against the first limiting portion 16 under the elastic action of the elastic reset portion 15.

[0046] Thus, the first end 131 of the button 13 can be used for pressing, the second end 132 of the button 13 can be used for triggering the switch 14, and the abutting portion 133 of the button 13 can be used to support on the elastic reset portion 15 and abut against the first limit portion 16. For example, the abutting portion 133 of the button 13 can be set as an annular boss along the circumference of the button 13, so that the button 13 can be supported on the elastic reset portion 15 and abut against the first limit portion 16 through the annular boss. Of course, the button 13 can also be set as a structural form in which the size of the first end 131 is larger than the size of the second end 132, so that the button 13 can be directly supported on the elastic reset portion 15 without separately setting the abutting portion 133, and the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structure of the button 13.

[0047] Among them, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the key 13 is not pressed, the second end 132 of the key 13 may be flush with the outer surface of the second shell 112 ; or, the second end 132 of the key 13 may protrude from the outer surface of the second shell 112 .

[0048] According to the appearance design of the atomizer 1, when the second end 132 of the button 13 is flush with the outer surface of the second shell 112, the regularity of the appearance of the atomizer 1 can be ensured, and the appearance of the atomizer 1 is flat. When the second end 132 of the button 13 protrudes from the outer surface of the second shell 112, the user can press the button 13 by touching the protruding button 13. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on whether the button 13 protrudes from the outer surface of the second shell 112.

[0049] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 11 and the elastic reset portion 15 can be integrally formed.

[0050] In the above embodiment, when the shell 11 includes a first shell 111 and a second shell 112, the elastic reset portion 15 can be integrally formed on the first shell 111. When the shell 11 is a single-layer structure, the elastic reset portion 15 can be integrally formed on the shell 11. The elastic reset portion 15 is integrally formed on the shell 11, so that the atomizer 1 can still achieve the function of resetting after pressing the button 13 without the need to separately set up parts such as springs or elastic brackets, thereby reducing the parts of the atomizer 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic reset portion 15 can also be connected to the shell 11 by bonding or welding, and the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the connection method between the elastic reset portion 15 and the shell 11.

[0051] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the elastic reset portion 15 may include a plurality of elastic arms 151 , which may be arranged along the circumference of the mounting hole 12 , one end of the elastic arm 151 being connected to the housing 11 , and the other end of the elastic arm 151 being used to support the button 13 .

[0052] In this way, the button 13 can be supported on multiple elastic arms 151. When the button 13 is pressed, the end of the elastic arm 151 away from the housing 11 can move toward the switch 14 and accumulate elastic force. When the button 13 is released, the button 13 can be reset under the elastic action of the elastic arm 151. According to the size of the diameter of the mounting hole 12, the elastic arms 151 can be provided in two, three or more numbers, and the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific number of the elastic arms 151.

[0053] On this basis, if Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic reset portion 15 may further include a protrusion 152, and the elastic arm 151 may be configured as an arc-shaped spring piece arranged circumferentially along the mounting hole 12, one end of the arc-shaped spring piece is connected to the shell 11, and the protrusion 152 is connected to the other end of the arc-shaped spring piece, and the protrusion 152 is located on the side of the arc-shaped spring piece away from the switch 14, and the button 13 abuts against the protrusion 152.

[0054] Therefore, the arc-shaped spring piece arranged along the circumference of the mounting hole 12 has a longer arm length, so that the button 13 can have a larger elastic travel range, which is conducive to improving the pressing feel of the button 13. In addition, by providing a protrusion 152 on the side of the arc-shaped spring piece away from the switch 14, when the button 13 is pressed, the button 13 can apply the pressing force to the arc-shaped spring piece through the protrusion 152, so that the arc-shaped spring piece bends and generates elastic force.

[0055] Of course, in other embodiments, when the diameter of the mounting hole 12 is large, the elastic arm 151 can also be configured as a spring sheet arranged radially along the mounting hole 12. However, when the diameter of the mounting hole 12 is small, the elastic travel range of the spring sheet arranged radially along the mounting hole 12 is small, which is not conducive to pressing the button 13. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structural shape of the elastic arm 151.

[0056] In more embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, when the key 13 is not pressed, there may be a gap 17 between the key 13 and the switch 14 .

[0057] In this way, the setting of the gap 17 can increase the distance between the button 13 and the switch 14, thereby preventing the atomizer 1 from being mistakenly started due to the button 13 directly contacting the switch 14 when the user accidentally touches the button 13. At the same time, the setting of the gap 17 can also increase the stroke of the button 13, thereby enhancing the user's pressing experience.

[0058] In addition, the scheme of directly contacting the button 13 with the switch 14 has a high precision requirement for the matching of the button 13 and the switch 14, because the stroke of the switch 14 itself is only 0.1mm-0.2mm. After pressing the button 13 for a long time, the button 13 is prone to get stuck due to wear. The present application sets a gap 17 between the button 13 and the switch 14, which can greatly reduce the matching precision requirement between the button 13 and the switch 14, so that the button 13 can trigger the switch 14 during the elastic stroke of the elastic reset part 15, reducing the assembly difficulty of the button 13 and improving the assembly efficiency of the button 13. Among them, the size of the gap 17 can be set according to factors such as the stroke of the switch 14 itself, the stroke of pressing the button 13, and the elastic stroke of the elastic reset part 15. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the size of the gap 17.

[0059] In addition, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 11 may be further provided with a second limiting portion 18 at the position of the mounting hole 12 , and the button 13 may be limited in the mounting hole 12 by the second limiting portion 18 when approaching the switch 14 along the aa axis direction.

[0060] For example, the second limiting portion 18 can be set as a limiting step located at the position of the first mounting hole 121 on the first housing 111. When the button 13 is pressed, the button 13 can be limited on the second limiting portion 18 by the abutment portion 133, thereby avoiding the problem that the button 13 falls into the housing 11 due to overpressure. In this way, the maximum stroke of the button 13 can be controlled between the first limiting portion 16 and the second limiting portion 18. Of course, in other embodiments, the second limiting portion 18 can also be set as a limiting groove structure, and the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structure of the second limiting portion 18.

[0061] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can be made based on the idea of ​​the present invention.
