[0002] As the core component of an electronic atomizer, the atomizer core primarily atomizes liquid medications, fragrances, or other liquid substances into fine particles. Depending on the usage scenario and needs, atomizer cores can be divided into various types, such as cotton cores and ceramic cores. During the use of the atomizer core, it is generally necessary to ensure electrical continuity between the ejector pin and the heating wire inside the atomizer core, and between the ejector pin and the electronic atomizer's battery.
[0003] In related technologies, a conductive terminal is typically provided on the atomizer core to electrically connect the internal heating wire. A pin is then used to press against the conductive terminal to achieve electrical connection between the pin and the heating wire. Because the contact surface between the pin and the conductive terminal is flat, the atomizer core can easily tilt when the pin presses against the conductive terminal, resulting in an inability to maintain a close fit between the pin and the atomizer core, making contact unstable and affecting the normal use of the electronic atomizer.

Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0034] References to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," or "an embodiment" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present invention. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in other embodiments" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0035] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, the following description is given with reference to specific drawings and embodiments.
[0036] As the core component of an electronic atomizer, the atomizer core primarily atomizes liquid medications, fragrances, or other liquid substances into fine particles. Depending on the usage scenario and needs, atomizer cores can be divided into various types, such as cotton cores and ceramic cores. During the use of the atomizer core, it is generally necessary to ensure electrical continuity between the ejector pin and the heating wire inside the atomizer core, and between the ejector pin and the electronic atomizer's battery.
[0037] In related technologies, a conductive terminal is typically provided on the atomizer core to electrically connect the internal heating wire. A pin is then used to press against the conductive terminal to achieve electrical connection between the pin and the heating wire. Because the contact surface between the pin and the conductive terminal is flat, the atomizer core can easily tilt when the pin presses against the conductive terminal, resulting in an inability to maintain a close fit between the pin and the atomizer core, making contact unstable and affecting the normal use of the electronic atomizer.
[0038] In view of this, the present application provides a thimble, an atomizer core connection structure and an electronic atomizer. Since the thimble includes a first part and a second part that are connected, the first part is used to connect to and electrically conduct with a conductive terminal provided on the first surface of the atomizer core, and the second part is connected to the first part, and the second part is used to fit with the second surface of the atomizer core. Therefore, when the first part is connected to the conductive terminal and electrically conducts, the second part can limit the position of the atomizer core to prevent the atomizer core from tilting, thereby enabling the first part to fit tightly with the conductive terminal, and the contact is relatively stable, ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic atomizer in one of the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The main view of the electronic atomizer shown, Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The cross-sectional view of the electronic atomizer along the MM direction is shown.
[0040] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a thimble 20 for an electronic atomizer 100 . The electronic atomizer 100 includes an atomizer core 10 . The atomizer core 10 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 at an angle. The atomizer core 10 includes a conductive terminal 101 provided on the first surface 11 .
[0041] The atomizer core 10 can be a cotton core or a ceramic core. A heating wire (not shown) can be disposed within the atomizer core 10, and the conductive terminal 101 is electrically connected to the heating wire. The atomizer core 10 can be roughly rectangular or roughly cube-shaped, and the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 can be two adjacent surfaces of the atomizer core 10.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The schematic structural diagram of the atomizer and ejector pin 20 in the electronic atomizer 100 is shown. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The exploded structure diagram of the atomizer and ejector pin 20 is shown. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial enlarged view of point A in the middle.
[0043] The ejector pin 20 includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22 connected to each other. The first portion 21 is used to connect to the conductive terminal 101 and be electrically conductive. The second portion 22 is connected to the first portion 21 and is used to fit the second surface 12 .
[0044] The first portion 21 and the second portion 22 can be integrally formed or separately connected. The first portion 21 and the second portion 22 extend at an angle, meaning they are not parallel. The first portion 21 is conductive, while the second portion 22 may or may not be conductive. The ejector pin 20 can also be electrically connected to the battery cell 60 of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 4 The left side view of the atomizer and ejector pin 20 is shown. In the process of connecting the ejector pin 20 provided by the embodiment of the present application to the atomizer core 10, when the first portion 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically connected, the second portion 22 can limit the position of the atomizer core 10 to prevent the atomizer core 10 from being skewed. For example, Figure 7 When the second portion 22 on the left or right side is in contact with the second surface 12 of the atomizer core 10 , the atomizer core 10 can be restricted from tilting in the direction indicated by the arrow S and the direction indicated by the arrow T, thereby enabling the first portion 21 to be closely contacted with the conductive terminal 101 .
[0046] From the above, it can be seen that the ejector pin 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22 that are connected to each other. The first portion 21 is used to connect to and electrically conduct with the conductive terminal 101 provided on the first surface 11 of the atomizer core 10, and the second portion 22 is connected to the first portion 21. The second portion 22 is used to fit with the second surface 12 of the atomizer core 10. Therefore, when the first portion 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically conducts, the second portion 22 can limit the position of the atomizer core 10 to prevent the atomizer core 10 from tilting, thereby enabling the first portion 21 to fit tightly with the conductive terminal 101, and the contact is relatively stable, thereby ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0047] In this embodiment, there are two second surfaces 12 , and the two second surfaces 12 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first surface 11 ; two second portions 22 are provided, and the second portions 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second surfaces 12 , and the atomizer core 10 is located between the two second portions 22 .
[0048] By adopting the above solution, when the first part 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically conductive, the two second parts 22 can better limit the position of the atomizer core 10 to prevent the atomizer core 10 from tilting, thereby making the first part 21 fit tightly with the conductive terminal 101, and the contact is more stable, ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0049] It can be understood that the two second surfaces 12 can be arranged opposite to each other.
[0050] Optionally, the extension direction of one second portion 22 is parallel to the extension direction of the other second portion 22 , and the extension direction of the second portion 22 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first portion 21 .
[0051] With such a configuration, the relative position of the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 can be better controlled when manufacturing the ejector pin 20 , thereby making it easier to manufacture the ejector pin 20 .
[0052] It should be noted that the two second portions 22 may be respectively provided at both ends of the first portion 21 , and the first portion 21 and the two second portions 22 may be substantially in a “U”-shaped structure.
[0053] It is understood that in actual applications, a "parallel" setting may allow for a certain angular deviation. Based on this, in the embodiments of the present application, the range of "parallel" may include a certain degree of fluctuation around 0°, for example, it may be within the range of 0°±5°. In actual applications, a "perpendicular" setting may allow for a certain angular deviation. Based on this, in the embodiments of the present application, the range of "perpendicular" may include a certain degree of fluctuation around 90°, for example, it may be within the range of 90°±5°.
[0054] Please refer to Figures 4 to 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A partial enlarged view of point A in the middle.
[0055] Optionally, the second part 22 includes a fitting section 221 and an installation section 222, the fitting section 221 is used to fit with the second surface 12, the installation section 222 is located on the side of the fitting section 221 away from the first part 21, one end of the installation section 222 is connected to the fitting section 221, and the other end of the installation section 222 extends in a direction away from the second surface 12.
[0056] By adopting the above solution, when the atomizer core 10 is placed between the two second parts 22 , the atomizer core 10 can be guided by the installation section 222 , thereby being more convenient and labor-saving.
[0057] It should be noted that the fitting section 221 and the installation section 222 can be integrally formed or separately provided.
[0058] Please refer to Figures 4 to 8 In this embodiment, the atomizer core 10 is a ceramic core, and the second portion 22 has thermal conductivity.
[0059] By adopting the above solution, the heat generated by the ejector pin 20 can be transferred to the atomizer core 10 more quickly through the second portion 22, so that the atomizer core 10 can atomize the atomized liquid inside the atomizer core 10 more quickly, making the atomizer core 10 conduct oil faster and improving its oil conductivity.
[0060] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the ejector pin 20 , the entire ejector pin 20 may have electrical conductivity or thermal conductivity.
[0061] Optionally, the ejector pin 20 further includes a connecting portion 23 , one end of the connecting portion 23 is connected to the first portion 21 , and the other end of the connecting portion 23 extends in a direction away from the conductive terminal 101 .
[0062] Such a configuration facilitates connecting the ejector pin 20 to the battery core 60 of the electronic atomizer 100 through the connecting portion 23 .
[0063] In other embodiments, the atomizer core 10 has a third surface 13 arranged at an angle to the first surface 11, the third surface 13 and the two second surfaces 12 are arranged around the first surface 11, and the third surface 13 is located between the two second surfaces 12; the ejector pin 20 also includes a third portion (not shown in the figure) connected to the first portion 21, and the third portion is used to fit with the third surface 13.
[0064] By adopting the above solution, when the first part 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically conductive, the second part 22 and the third part can better limit the position of the atomizer core 10 to prevent the atomizer core 10 from tilting, so that the first part 21 and the conductive terminal 101 can be closely fitted, and the contact is more stable, thereby ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0065] Optionally, there are two third surfaces 13 , and the two third surfaces 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first surface 11 ; two third parts are provided, and the third parts are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the third surfaces 13 , and the atomizer core 10 is located between the two third parts.
[0066] With such a configuration, when the first part 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically conductive, the second part 22 and the two third parts can better limit the position of the atomizer core 10, thereby preventing the atomizer core 10 from tilting, thereby enabling the first part 21 to fit tightly with the conductive terminal 101, and the contact is more stable, thereby ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0067] It should be noted that the structure of the third portion may be similar to that of the second portion 22 .
[0068] It is understandable that when the shape of the atomizer core 10 is approximately a cuboid or a cube, the first surface 11 can be the top surface or the bottom surface of the atomizer core 10 , and the two second surfaces 12 and the two third surfaces 13 can be the four side surfaces of the atomizer core 10 respectively.
[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an atomizer core connection structure, including an atomizer core 10 and a ejector pin 20 as in the first aspect; the atomizer core 10 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 at an angle, and the atomizer core 10 includes a conductive terminal 101 provided on the first surface 11.
[0070] The atomizer core connection structure provided in the embodiment of the present application has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 at an angle to each other. The atomizer core 10 includes a conductive terminal 101 provided on the first surface 11, and the ejector pin 20 includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22 connected to each other. The first portion 21 is used to connect to and electrically conduct with the conductive terminal 101 provided on the first surface 11, and the second portion 22 is connected to the first portion 21. The second portion 22 is used to fit with the second surface 12 of the atomizer core 10. Therefore, when the first portion 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically conducts, the second portion 22 can limit the position of the atomizer core 10 and prevent the atomizer core 10 from tilting, thereby enabling the first portion 21 to fit tightly with the conductive terminal 101. The contact is relatively stable, ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0071] It is understandable that two conductive terminals 101 and two ejector pins 20 can be provided and the two are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0072] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic atomizer 100 , which includes the atomizer core connection structure of the second aspect.

The first portion 21 is used to connect to and electrically conduct with the conductive terminal 101 provided on the first surface 11, and the second portion 22 is connected to the first portion 21. The second portion 22 is used to fit with the second surface 12 of the atomizer core 10. Therefore, when the first portion 21 is connected to the conductive terminal 101 and electrically conducts, the second portion 22 can limit the position of the atomizer core 10 and prevent the atomizer core 10 from tilting, thereby enabling the first portion 21 to fit tightly with the conductive terminal 101. The contact is relatively stable, ensuring the normal use of the electronic atomizer 100.
[0074] It is understandable that the electronic atomizer 100 may also include a shell 30, a bracket 40, a circuit board 50, a battery cell 60, a liquid-conducting cotton 70, a liquid storage tank 80 and a pressing rod 90, etc., and the atomizing core 10 and the ejector pin 20 are both arranged in the shell 30.
[0075] The ejector pin 20 includes a flange 24 , and the bracket 40 abuts against the flange 24 to limit the ejector pin 20 in the axial direction of the ejector pin 20 .
