[0028] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the housing 1 includes a bottom case 11, a cover case 12, a lower case 13 and an upper case 14. The cover case 12 is snap-connected to the front side of the bottom case 11. The lower case 13 is snap-connected to the top of the bottom case 11 and the cover case 12. The upper case 14 is snap-connected to the top of the lower case 13. A threaded mounting hole is provided in the middle of the bottom of the bottom case 11. Three heat dissipation holes are equidistantly spaced on both the left and right sides of the upper case 14. The heat dissipation hole in the middle is slightly larger than the heat dissipation holes on both sides. A plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged on both the left and right sides inside the bottom case 11. Reinforcing ribs corresponding to the reinforcing ribs on both the left and right sides inside the bottom case 11 are arranged inside the cover case 12. The plurality of reinforcing ribs inside the bottom case 11 are used to reinforce the bottom case 11 and limit the battery 2 and the air pump 4 at the same time. Then, the battery 2 and the air pump 4 are secondarily limited by the reinforcing ribs on the cover case 12, and the battery 2 and the air pump 4 are fixed between the bottom case 11 and the cover case 12. A card slot is provided on the left side of the bottom of the lower case 13 for installing and fixing the electrode pin 3. A guiding groove is provided on the right side of the bottom of the lower case 13 for guiding the connecting component 5.

Under specific working conditions, the smoke machine can be fixed to a tripod or other photographic equipment through the threaded mounting hole on the bottom case 11.

[0029] As Figure 4As shown, the connecting component 5 includes a guide frame 51, a connecting pipe 52, a wedge block 53, a spring 54 and a push rod 55. The guide frame 51 is slidably installed in the guide groove at the bottom of the lower shell 13. An air path connecting the air pump 4 and the smoke chamber 6 is provided inside the guide frame 51. A clamping joint corresponding to the air inlet of the smoke chamber 6 is arranged on the left side of the guide frame 51. An air path is provided in the clamping joint and can be docked with the air inlet of the smoke chamber 6 to connect the air path of the smoke chamber 6. The left side of the bottom of the guide frame 51 is installed with a connecting pipe 52. The inside of the connecting pipe 52 is hollow and communicates with the air path in the guide frame 51. The right side of the top of the guide frame 51 is installed with a wedge block 53. The right inclined surface of the wedge block 53 shows a progressive thinning relative to the left inclined surface. A guide hole is provided on the right side of the guide frame 51. A spring 54 is installed between the right side in the guide hole of the guide frame 51 and the left side of the guide groove. The right side of the top of the lower shell 13 passes through the lower shell 13 and is slidably installed with a push rod 55. The bottom of the push rod 55 abuts against the right top inclined surface of the wedge block 53. The gas in the air pump 4 enters the smoke chamber 6 through the connecting pipe 52 and the air path in the guide frame 51 to control the generation of smoke. When the smoke chamber 6 needs to be replaced, after removing the upper shell 14 upward, press the push rod 55 downward. The push rod 55 is pushed downward to drive the wedge block 53 to move to the right. The wedge block 53 moves to the right to drive the guide frame 51 to move to the right, thereby compressing the spring 54 and driving the clamping joint to disengage from the air inlet of the smoke chamber 6, and then the smoke chamber 6 can be taken out. After the smoke chamber 6 is taken out and replaced, release the push rod 55, and the spring 54 resets to return to the normal state. Push the guide frame 51 to the left. The guide frame 51 moves to the left to make the clamping joint contact and fix with the air inlet of the smoke chamber 6. At the same time, the guide frame 51 moves to the left to push the push rod 55 upward. Cover the upper shell 14 to fix the replaced smoke chamber 6.

[0030] As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the control component 7 includes a circuit board 71, a display screen 72 and three buttons 73. A circuit board 71 is installed in the middle inside the cover shell 12 by screws. The circuit board 71 is electrically connected to the battery 2 and the air pump 4 respectively. The upper part of the front side of the circuit board 71 is installed with a display screen 72. A switch is also installed on the upper part of the front side of the circuit board 71. The switch is located above the display screen 72. Three buttons 73 are installed at equal intervals on the lower part of the front side of the circuit board 71. The bottom of the circuit board 71 passes through the bottom of the cover shell 12 and is installed with a charging interface. The display screen 72, the switch and the three buttons 73 all pass through the cover shell 12 and protrude from the front side of the cover shell 12. The circuit board 71 supplies power to the display screen 72 through electrical connection with the battery 2 to display information. The circuit board 71, the switch, the display screen 72 and the three buttons 73 are electrically connected to control the air pump 4 to deliver gas. The charging interface can be connected to an external power supply to provide a charging power supply for the battery 2 through the charging circuit in the circuit board 71 to supplement or restore the power of the battery 2.

[0031] Working principle: When in use, turn on the switch on the circuit board 71, and operate the buttons 73 by observing the information on the display screen 72 to control and adjust the air flow rate output by the air pump 4, so as to control the generation amount and emission speed of the smoke in the smoke chamber 6. When the liquid in the smoke chamber 6 is used up and needs to be replaced, after removing the upper shell 14 upward, press the push rod 55 downward. The push rod 55 is pushed downward to drive the wedge block 53 to move to the right. The rightward movement of the wedge block 53 drives the guide frame 51 to move to the right, thereby compressing the spring 54 and driving the clamping joint to disengage from the air inlet of the smoke chamber 6, and then the smoke chamber 6 can be taken out. After the smoke chamber 6 is taken out and replaced, release the push rod 55, and the spring 54 resets to return to the normal state. Push the guide frame 51 to move to the left. The leftward movement of the guide frame 51 makes the clamping joint contact and fix with the air inlet of the smoke chamber 6. At the same time, the leftward movement of the guide frame 51 jacks up the push rod 55 upward. Cover the upper shell 14 to fix the replaced smoke chamber 6. When the battery 2 runs out of power, an external power supply can be connected to provide a charging power supply for the battery 2 through the charging circuit in the circuit board 71 to supplement or restore the power of the battery 2, or directly replace the battery 2 by opening the cover 12.

[0032] It should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent replacements, changes, etc. can be made to the present invention. However, as long as these transformations do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they should be within the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, some terms used in the specification and claims of this application are not restrictive, but are only for the convenience of description.
