DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0030] It should also be understood that the terms used in this utility model specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model. As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0031] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the utility model discloses a dust-proof structure of an atomizer, comprising a shell 1 and a filling piece 2, the filling piece 2 being connected to the shell 1, the shell 1 having a filling port 12, the filling piece 2 having a storage cavity 21, the opening of the storage cavity 21 being located opposite to the filling port 12, the dust-proof structure of the atomizer further comprising a dust cover 3 and an elastic member 5, the dust cover 3 reciprocating along the edge of the filling port 12 to cover or expose the opening of the storage cavity 21, the elastic member 5 being used to drive the dust cover 3 to return from a state of exposing the opening of the storage cavity 21 to a covering state.

[0033] Specifically, the filling member 2 is used to hold the aerosol-generating product 22 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1 via the filling port 12. When the atomizer is not in use, the opening of the storage chamber 21 is blocked. The dust cover 3, acting through the force of the elastic member 5, tightly covers the opening of the storage chamber 21 of the filling member 2, forming a sealed dust barrier. This effectively prevents dust, impurities, and other external contaminants from entering the filling member 2, thereby protecting the cleanliness and performance of the aerosol-generating product 22.

[0034] When the user needs to add or replace the aerosol-generating product 22, they manually push the dust cover 3 to the end away from the opening of the storage chamber 21, exposing the opening of the storage chamber 21. The user then places the aerosol-generating product 22 into the filling member 2. It is understood that at this point, the user releases the dust cover 3, and the edge of the dust cover 3 abuts the side wall of the aerosol-generating product 22. After use, the user removes the aerosol-generating product 22. Under the restoring force of the elastic member 5, the dust cover 3 automatically returns along its original path, re-covering the opening of the storage chamber 21 and resuming its dust-proof state. This process requires no additional operation, achieving automatic reset and dust-proofing effects.

[0035] In this embodiment, the dust cover 3 adopts a horizontal sliding design, which is simple and convenient to operate. The user can easily expose or cover the opening of the storage cavity 21 without complicated operations, thus improving the user experience. At the same time, the restoring force of the elastic member 5 is used to automatically reset the dust cover 3, eliminating the need for manual closing by the user, reducing the number of operation steps and improving the efficiency of use.

[0036] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 13 is provided on the top of the housing 1 , the filling port 12 is opened at the bottom of the mounting groove 13 , and the dust cover 3 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 13 .

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the dust cover 3 is directly connected to the housing 1 and is slidably connected in the mounting groove 13 in the housing 1 , thereby achieving horizontal sliding of the dust cover 3 in the housing 1 .

[0038] Furthermore, a guide rail is provided at the bottom of the mounting slot 13, onto which the bottom of the dust cover 3 slides. Specifically, the dust cover 3 slides with the guide rail (not shown) within the mounting slot 13, thereby enabling horizontal sliding of the dust cover 3 within the mounting slot 13. Directly assembling the dust cover 3 to the housing 1 eliminates the need for additional connecting components, resulting in a simple structure and quick installation.

[0039] In one embodiment, a sliding bracket 4 is provided in the shell 1, and the sliding bracket 4 is provided below the dust cover 3; the sliding bracket 4 is provided with an insertion port 43 corresponding to the opening of the storage cavity 21, and the insertion port 43 is connected to the opening of the storage cavity 21.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the dust cover 3 is connected to the sliding bracket 4. When the opening of the storage cavity 21 is exposed, the aerosol generating product 22 passes through the insertion port 43 of the sliding bracket 4 and the opening of the storage cavity 21 in sequence and then enters the filling component 2.

[0041] Furthermore, a slide rail 41 protruding from the surface of the slide bracket 4 is provided at the top of the sliding bracket 4, and a slide groove (not shown) engaged with the slide rail 41 is provided at the bottom of the dust cover 3, so that the dust cover 3 can move back and forth along the slide rail 41 to cover or expose the opening of the storage cavity 21.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the slide groove at the bottom of the dust cover 3 is slidably assembled with the slide rail 41 on the sliding bracket 4, providing a precise guide for the sliding of the dust cover 3, so that the dust cover 3 slides horizontally along the slide rail 41, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the dust cover 3 during movement. This helps to prevent the dust cover 3 from deflecting or shaking during the sliding process, thereby ensuring the accurate opening and closing of the opening of the storage cavity 21. The provision of the sliding bracket 4 can reduce the friction between the dust cover 3 and the shell 1, prevent the dust cover 3 from directly contacting the shell 1, and reduce damage caused by collision or friction. When the slide rail 41 and the slide groove are aged and worn and need to be repaired or replaced, it is only necessary to disassemble and replace the dust cover 3 and the sliding bracket 4. Compared with replacing the shell 1, the cost is lower and the disassembly and assembly method is simpler and faster.

[0043] Furthermore, a connecting slot 131 is provided in the housing 1 , and a connecting buckle 42 is provided on the side wall of the sliding bracket 4 , and the connecting buckle 42 is engaged in the connecting slot 131 .

[0044] Specifically, the use of the connecting slot 131 and the connecting buckle 42 in conjunction with each other enhances the connection stability between the sliding bracket 4 and the housing 1, making the entire dustproof structure more stable and reliable. At the same time, the design of the snap-fit ​​structure simplifies the installation process of the sliding bracket 4, allowing users to easily complete the installation without complicated operations.

[0045] In one embodiment, a connecting column 31 is provided on the side wall of the dust cover 3, and a connecting hole 11 is provided on a side wall of the shell 1 adjacent to the connecting column 31. One end of the elastic member 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 31, and the other end is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 11.

[0046] Specifically, one end of the elastic member 5 is sleeved and rotatably connected to the connecting column 31, and the other end is inserted and rotatably connected to the connecting hole 11. The design of the connecting column 31 and the connecting hole 11 provides a stable connection point for the elastic member 5, so that the dust cover 3 can be firmly mounted on the shell 1 and maintain a stable trajectory during movement. It can be understood that in this embodiment, two connecting columns 31 are symmetrically provided on the dust cover 3 along the sliding direction, and two connecting holes 11 are symmetrically provided on the shell 1 along the sliding direction. Two elastic members 5 are also provided to respectively connect the connecting columns 31 and the connecting holes 11 on both sides of the dust cover 3 and the shell 1. This double-sided connection design helps to further reduce the shaking or displacement of the dust cover 3 during the sliding process and improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0047] At the same time, both ends of the elastic member 5 are connected by a rotating connection. This allows the dust cover 3 to slide smoothly in the horizontal direction when pushed by an external force. After the external force is released, it can automatically reset itself using the restoring force of the elastic member 5, ensuring that the dust cover 3 can quickly and accurately return to the closed state, thereby effectively preventing the intrusion of dust and impurities. At the same time, the rotating connection design reduces friction and wear between the elastic member 5 and the connection point, thereby extending the service life of the elastic member 5 and the entire dustproof structure. In addition, the design of the connecting column 31 and the connecting hole 11 makes the installation of the dust cover 3 and the elastic member 5 simple and quick, and also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. Users can easily complete the removal and installation of the dust cover 3 without complicated tools or steps.

[0048] Furthermore, when the user wishes to add an aerosol-generating product 22 to the refill 2, they manually push the dust cover 3, sliding it along the slide rails 41 away from the opening of the storage chamber 21. During this process, the connecting post 31 connecting the dust cover 3 to the elastic member 5 moves accordingly, causing the elastic member 5 to undergo tensile deformation under the action of an external force. This stored elastic potential energy in the elastic member 5 provides the power for the subsequent automatic reset. It will be appreciated that after adding the aerosol-generating product 22, the user releases the dust cover 3. At this point, the edge of the dust cover 3 abuts the aerosol-generating product 22.

[0049] When the user finishes use and takes out the aerosol generating product 22, the dust cover 3 loses the obstruction of the abutment, and the elastic member 5 begins to release the elastic potential energy stored previously, which is converted into a force that pushes the dust cover 3 to move in the direction close to the opening of the storage chamber 21. Under the push of the elastic member 5, the dust cover 3 slides along the slide rail 41 until its edge abuts against the inner wall of the shell 1, completely covering the opening of the storage chamber 21. It can be understood that after the dust cover 3 completely covers the opening of the storage chamber 21, the elastic member 5 does not completely return to its initial state (i.e., a state without tensile deformation), but still maintains a certain tensile deformation, so that the dust cover 3 can apply a certain downward pressure in the direction of the opening of the storage chamber 21, thereby achieving a tighter sealing effect. This sealing effect helps prevent external contaminants such as dust and impurities from entering the interior of the filling member 2 through the opening of the storage chamber 21.

[0050] In one embodiment, an anti-slip pad 6 is further included, and the anti-slip pad 6 is arranged on the top of the dust cover 3.

[0051] Specifically, the anti-slip pad 6 is embedded within the dust cover 3 and is not easily dislodged or displaced. The provision of the anti-slip pad 6 reduces the risk of a user's fingers slipping when pushing or operating the dust cover 3, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of operation. It is understood that by disposing the sliding bracket 4 within the housing 1 and the anti-slip pad 6 within the dust cover 3, the dust cover 3, the sliding bracket 4, and the filling member 2 are sequentially connected and disposed within the housing 1, with the top surface of the dust cover 3 flush with the top surface of the housing 1. This makes the entire dustproof structure compact, does not occupy excessive space, and maintains the overall aesthetics and stability of the atomizer.

[0052] In one embodiment, the elastic member 5 is a torsion spring. Specifically, the torsion spring has the characteristics of storing and releasing energy. When the dust cover 3 is opened, the torsion spring is deformed by the external force and stores elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the torsion spring releases the stored energy, automatically pushing the dust cover 3 back to its original position, covering the opening of the storage chamber 21. This automatic reset function improves the convenience of use, eliminating the need for the user to manually close the dust cover 3. At the same time, the torsion spring can be easily integrated into the housing 1 without taking up too much space, thereby achieving miniaturization and lightweighting of the atomizer, making it easy to carry and use.

[0053] The present utility model also discloses an atomizer, comprising the above-mentioned dust-proof structure of the atomizer, and further comprising a battery 7, a control circuit board 8 and a heating element 9. The battery 7, the control circuit board 8 and the heating element 9 are all arranged in the shell 1, and the heating element 9 is inserted into the filling member 2 through an end of the filling member 2 away from the opening of the storage cavity 21; the battery 7 is used to power the atomizer, and the control circuit board 8 is used to control the temperature and power of the heating element 9.

[0054] Specifically, when a user wishes to use the atomizer, they first open the dust cover 3 and place the aerosol-generating article 22 into the refill 2. They then loosen the dust cover 3 and activate the atomizer. At this point, the battery 7 supplies power to the control circuit board 8, which in turn controls the temperature and power of the heating element 9 according to a pre-set program or user instructions. Upon receiving this power, the heating element 9 begins heating and atomizing the aerosol-generating article 22. The generated aerosol is then passed through the atomizer's outlet (not shown) for inhalation by the user.

[0055] The above examples are merely used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention for easier understanding by the reader. However, they do not limit the implementation of the present invention to these examples. Any technical extension or reinvention based on the present invention is protected by the present invention.
