A circuit board 31 is arranged inside the base shell 1. A switch element 32 and a light-emitting element 33 are arranged on the circuit board 31. The switch element 32 is used to control a vaporizer, such as turning it on or off or adjusting its parameters. The light-emitting element 33 can be an LED light-emitting element 33, and the light generated by it is emitted forward. The switch element 32 is connected to the button. When the button is pressed, the switch element 32 can be triggered. The button support 21 and the base shell 1 are cooperatively installed and fixed. The button movably passes through the installation hole 10. The button includes a mounting seat 23 and an insert 24. A concave hole 231 is provided at the front end of the mounting seat 23. The mounting seat 23 forms an annular light guide part 232 around the concave hole 231. The outer peripheral wall of the light guide part 232 and the installation hole 10 form a guiding fit. The insert 24 is embedded and fixed in the concave hole 231 and is surrounded by the light guide part 232. The elastic ribs 22 are connected between the outer peripheral side of the mounting seat 23 and the button support 21, and are used to provide elasticity for the reset movement of the mounting seat 23 and the insert 24. The elastic ribs 22 can also be used to prevent the button from rotating in the installation hole 10. The mounting seat 23 is made of a light guide material.

A limiting portion 235 that cooperates with the rear end of the insert 24 to limit the position is also provided on the inner side of the recessed hole 231 of the mounting seat, so as to reduce the axial shaking of the insert 24.

[0026] The outer periphery of the mounting seat 23 is formed with an annular flange 236 , which cooperates with the inner wall of the base shell 1 (the inner end of the mounting hole 10 ) to prevent the button from falling out along the mounting hole 10 as a whole, thereby improving reliability.

[0027] The button support 21 is a rectangular frame structure, the button and the elastic rib 22 are located in the hollow of the rectangular frame structure, the two ends of the elastic rib 22 are respectively connected to the outer peripheral wall of the button and the inner peripheral wall of the button support 21, and a plurality of elastic ribs 22 are evenly distributed along the central circumference of the button, so that the force between the elastic rib 22 and the button is more uniform, so that the button is not prone to jamming when resetting. The two ends of the plurality of elastic ribs 22 are inclined relative to the radial direction of the center of the button, which is conducive to increasing the length of the elastic rib 22, thereby improving its deformation effect.

[0028] The button support 21, the elastic rib 22 and the mounting seat 23 are integrally formed by injection molding, thereby reducing the number of assembly steps.

[0029] The inner wall of the base shell 1 is provided with slots 12 at the positions on both sides of the corresponding mounting holes 10, and the two sides of the button support 21 are respectively plugged and positioned with the two slots 12, so as to facilitate the assembly of the base shell 1 and the button support 21. Limiting blocks 11 are also provided on both sides of the button support 21, which are used to cooperate with the base shell 1 to limit the position and prevent excessive insertion along the slots 12. After the button support 21 is inserted and positioned, it can be limited by the base shell 1 component located in the direction of disengagement to ensure its reliable connection effect.
