Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic cigarette batteries, and in particular to a battery structure with a soft package turned into a hard shell. Background Art

[0002] Soft-pack batteries have many advantages such as small size, light weight, high specific energy, and relatively flexible design. They are particularly widely used in electronic cigarettes. However, in the current electronic cigarette market, after the soft-pack batteries are installed in the host and connected, the connectors connecting the pole ears are integrally formed with the bracket, making it very inconvenient to disassemble. This will seriously affect the use cycle of electronic cigarette products. Non-removable batteries are more difficult to recycle and are often directly discarded with electronic cigarette products, causing environmental pollution.

[0003] According to the new EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023 / 1542, all portable batteries should adopt a removable battery design, and consumers can disassemble, remove or replace the battery by themselves without using special tools (such as solvents, heating) or undergoing training. In this context, the development of a removable e-cigarette battery structure has become a key issue that whole machine assembly plants and battery companies urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure, which has a reasonable design and a simple preparation method, is conducive to realizing the detachability of the soft-pack battery in the electronic cigarette battery compartment, and reduces the difficulty of recycling the electronic cigarette battery.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure for fixing a soft-pack battery of an electronic cigarette, comprising:

[0007] The hard shell comprises a shell, a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal arranged at two ends of the shell;

[0008] A soft-pack battery; the soft-pack battery is installed inside the shell of the hard shell, the positive electrode of the soft-pack battery is electrically connected to the positive output terminal of the hard shell; the negative electrode of the soft-pack battery is electrically connected to the negative output terminal of the hard shell.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0010] (1) The soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure provided by the utility model has a hard-shell shell that wraps the soft-pack battery, which can play a good protective role. At the same time, the hard shell separates the soft-pack battery from the main body of the electronic cigarette, achieving the purpose of detachability and facilitating the recycling and reuse of the soft-pack battery. The positive output terminal and the negative output terminal at both ends of the hard shell shell are electrically connected to the two poles of the soft-pack battery and the main body of the electronic cigarette, respectively, to ensure that the soft-pack battery supplies power to the main body of the electronic cigarette.

[0011] (2) The soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure provided by the utility model increases the vibration resistance of the original soft-pack battery. When the electronic cigarette falls, the battery will not be damaged, thereby extending the service life of the electronic cigarette and improving the reliability, stability and safety of the battery contact.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. are merely used for distinguishing descriptions and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the hard shell 1 used to fix the soft pack battery is shown. Figure 1 As can be seen in the figure, the hard shell 1 includes a main structural shell 11, a positive output terminal 12 is arranged at the upper end of the shell 11, and a negative output terminal 13 is arranged at the lower end of the shell.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a soft-pack to hard-shell battery structure for fixing a soft-pack battery 2 of an electronic cigarette, comprising: a hard shell 1; the hard shell comprises a shell 11, a positive output terminal 12 and a negative output terminal 13 arranged at both ends of the shell 11; a soft-pack battery 2; the soft-pack battery 2 is installed inside the shell 11 of the hard shell 1, and the positive electrode 21 of the soft-pack battery 2 is electrically connected to the positive output terminal 12 of the hard shell 1 through a first wire 31; the negative electrode 22 of the soft-pack battery 2 is electrically connected to the negative output terminal 13 of the hard shell 1 through a second wire 32.

[0024] The soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure provided by the utility model has a main structural shell 11 of a hard shell 1 made of hard plastic or metal or other materials with high hardness and rigidity. The hard plastic and metal materials are not limited to specific types, as long as they can protect the soft-pack battery 2 from being damaged by external pressure (such as accidental falling, heavy pressure from external objects, etc.). Commonly used hard shell materials include polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyamide (PA), polylinolenic acid (POM), polyether ketone (PEEK), polyurethane (PU), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polymaleic anhydride (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), nylon (PA66), polypropylene, aluminum-plastic plate, steel plate, etc.

[0025] The soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure provided by the utility model can have a shell 11 of the hard shell 1 with a thickness that can be set according to specific requirements, taking into account both keeping the weight light and achieving sufficient rigidity. In some embodiments, the shell 11 has a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm.

[0026] In some preferred embodiments, in the soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure, the soft-pack battery 2 and the inner wall of the shell 11 form a cavity 4, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cavity 4 can achieve the effect of heat dissipation. In some preferred embodiments, the cavity 4 is filled with heat scattering materials, such as aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, etc., which can evenly scatter the heat of the soft-pack battery to the surrounding environment, improve the heat dissipation effect, and further ensure the safety and stability of the soft-pack battery 2 during operation.

[0027] The soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model is not limited to the structure of the hard shell 1. Figure 2 The shape shown in the figure is adapted to the shape of the specific soft-pack battery 2, such as being designed into a hollow shape. While ensuring that the soft-pack battery 2 can be fixed by the hard shell 11 to ensure that it is not damaged by external pressure, a part of the soft-pack battery 2 is exposed to the external environment to achieve a better heat dissipation effect.

[0028] In some embodiments, in the soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure, the surface of the shell 11 of the hard shell 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 5 of irregular shapes, such as Figure 4 As shown, the provided through hole 5 can quickly disperse the heat generated by the soft-pack battery 2 to the surrounding environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the soft-pack battery.

[0029] The technical solution represented by each of the above embodiments is not limited to an independent application environment, that is, a variety of technical solutions can be used in combination. For example, setting the cavity 4 in the shell 11 and setting the through hole 5 in the shell can be combined to form a new technical solution, that is, a new soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure; by setting the shell 11 as a hollow structure and setting the through hole on the shell surface, another technical solution can be formed, that is, another new soft-pack-to-hard-shell battery structure.

[0030] In some embodiments, in the soft-pack battery, the positive electrode 21 of the soft-pack battery 2 is fixedly connected to the positive electrode output terminal 12 of the hard shell 1 to form an electrical connection; the negative electrode 22 of the soft-pack battery 2 is fixedly connected to the negative electrode output terminal 13 of the hard shell 1 to form an electrical connection.

[0031] The above describes a variety of embodiments, that is, a battery structure of a soft-pack to hard shell formed by a variety of technical solutions. No matter which soft-pack to hard shell battery structure is used, the soft-pack battery 2 can be well separated from the main body of the electronic cigarette through the hard shell 1 structure, so as to achieve the purpose of detachability, facilitate the recycling of the soft-pack battery, and will not cause pollution to the environment. The positive output terminal 12 and the negative output terminal 13 at both ends of the shell 11 of the hard shell 1 are respectively electrically connected with the positive electrode 21, the negative electrode 22 of the soft-pack battery 2 and the main body of the electronic cigarette, so as to ensure that the soft-pack battery 2 continuously supplies power to the main body of the electronic cigarette. At the same time, due to the high hardness and high rigidity of the hard shell 1, the battery vibration resistance of the original soft-pack battery 2 is increased. When the electronic cigarette falls or is subjected to external force, the soft-pack battery 2 will not be damaged, which prolongs the service life of the soft-pack battery 2 and the electronic cigarette, and improves the reliability, stability and safety of the battery contact.

[0032] The utility model is described in detail above. The utility model uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation method of the utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the utility model and its core ideas. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the utility model, the utility model can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
