Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomization component. Background Technology
[0002] Aerosols, as a unique colloidal dispersion system, consist of solid or liquid particles suspended in a gaseous medium, exhibiting superior physical and chemical properties. Their particle size ranges widely, from nanometers to micrometers, enabling their widespread application in medicine, agriculture, industry, and cutting-edge electronic atomization technology. During aerosol formation, raw materials are transformed into tiny particles and uniformly distributed within the gaseous medium using precision technologies such as high-temperature baking or ultrasonic atomization. This process not only preserves the active ingredients in the raw materials but also significantly improves their bioavailability. Especially for substances that are difficult for the human body to absorb directly, such as the active ingredients in herbs, aerosol technology provides a revolutionary absorption solution, ensuring the efficient utilization of these valuable components.
[0003] With the advancement of technology and people's growing demand for healthy living, a new type of nebulizer is quietly emerging. These devices utilize advanced atomization technology to transform liquid or solid matrices rich in active ingredients into aerosols for users to inhale. Compared to traditional inhalation methods, the new nebulizers offer significant advantages in convenience, smoothness of taste, and control over ingredients, providing users with a superior inhalation experience.
[0004] In related technologies, to further enhance the user experience, new atomizing devices are designed with multiple compartments for loading different atomizing media, allowing users to easily switch according to personal preferences or health needs. However, for ease of use, these new atomizing devices are generally small in size, so the compartment switching structure needs to be compact while ensuring smooth switching. To ensure smooth atomization, accurate compartment positioning must be guaranteed during switching. Currently, compartment switching is mostly rotary; to improve the user experience and make switching smoother, idle spinning should be avoided. To save production costs and ensure the sustainable use of e-cigarettes, the compartment switching structure needs to be designed for easy assembly and production. Utility Model Content

[0018] In some embodiments, the elastic element includes a spring sleeved on the central post, with one end of the spring abutting against the compression sleeve and the other end of the spring abutting against the side of the first flange away from the abutting surface.
[0019] According to the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of the atomizing component of this utility model are:
[0020] This utility model's atomizing assembly includes a first housing, a second housing, and an elastic element. The first housing has two or more compartments suitable for installing and storing atomizing substrate chambers, with the multiple compartments circumferentially distributed around a first axis. The first housing is rotatable around the first axis and includes a first abutment portion disposed around the first axis.

The positioning structure ensures accurate positioning and prevents free rotation.
[0023] The first and second housings are fitted together via a central hole and a central post. A spring is sleeved inside the central hole and outside the central post, pre-tensioning the first housing. A compression sleeve limits the spring, thereby limiting the first housing; thus allowing the first housing to rotate smoothly around the central post. This structural design simplifies assembly and facilitates operation. Attached Figure Description

[0059] In related technologies, to further enhance the user experience, new atomizing devices are designed with multiple compartments for loading different atomizing media, allowing users to easily switch according to personal preferences or health needs. However, for ease of use, these new atomizing devices are generally small in size, making it difficult to add damping pads or other components to optimize the compartment switching structure. A clear indication is that existing atomizing devices have a loose structure; when adjusting compartments by rotation, components easily collide with each other, generating noise, which directly impacts the user experience. Furthermore, due to this loose structure, the tactile feedback when switching compartments is unreliable, and it's difficult to provide users with accurate positional information.
[0060] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 13 This describes an atomizing component according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The atomizing assembly of this utility model includes a first housing 100, a second housing 200, and an elastic member 300. The first housing 100 has two or more compartments 110 suitable for installing and storing atomizing substrate chambers, with the multiple compartments 110 circumferentially distributed around a first axis. The first housing 100 is rotatable around the first axis and includes a first abutment portion 140 arranged around the first axis. The structural design of the first housing 100 allows it to change the position of different compartments 110 by rotation, thereby facilitating the replacement or use of different atomizing substrates.
[0062] The second housing 200 includes a central pillar 210, the axis of which is collinear with the first axis. The central pillar 210 includes a second abutment portion 211, which has an abutment surface that surrounds the first axis and is perpendicular to the first axis. The central pillar 210 of the second housing 200 and the first housing 100 form a stable support structure, ensuring the stability of the entire atomizing assembly.
[0063] The elastic element 300 is located on the side of the first abutment portion 140 opposite to the second abutment portion 211. The elastic element 300 abuts against the first abutment portion 140 and provides elastic force along the first axis to ensure that the first abutment portion 140 abuts against the abutment surface. The design of the elastic element 300 ensures a tight contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, thereby improving the overall sealing and stability of the atomizing assembly. When the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200, the presence of the elastic element 300 enhances the damping during rotation. This enhanced damping results in a greater difference in tactile feedback when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 switch between rotation and positioning states, providing more noticeable feedback to the user during positioning and improving the user experience. Selecting an elastic element 300 with appropriate elasticity allows the first housing 100 to rotate smoothly relative to the second housing 200 without free-spinning, while also improving the feel of rotation. The elastic element 300 is positioned near the first axis, and the elastic force applied by the elastic element 300 is located near the rotation axis of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. This can be understood as the elastic element 300 applying elastic force to the central position of the atomizing component. This arrangement ensures even distribution of the elastic force, resulting in better stability and compactness of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. Therefore, the atomizing component of this invention can solve problems such as the atomizing device's compartment 110 switching structure being not compact enough, occupying a large space, being inconvenient to install, having inaccurate positioning, and being prone to idling.
[0064] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first abutment portion 140 may be a flange of the first housing 100 surrounding the first axis. The flange is annular, and the peripheral wall of the annular flange is connected to the inward end of the partition rib 120. The axis of the flange is collinear with the first axis. In some embodiments, the first abutment portion 140 may be a plurality of protrusions circumferentially distributed around the first axis. The protrusions are connected to the inward end of the partition rib 120. Under the action of the spring 310, the protrusions abut against the second abutment portion 211 at one end facing the second abutment portion 211, so as to realize the abutment of the first abutment portion 140 and the second abutment portion 211 in this solution.
[0065] It is understood that in some embodiments, the materials of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may be lightweight, high-strength alloys to reduce the weight of the entire atomizing assembly while enhancing durability.
[0066] It is understood that the elastic element 300 can be either a sheet or a spring 310. By changing the different stiffness of the sheet or spring 310, the damping when the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200 can be adjusted. For example, by selecting springs 310 with different stiffnesses to meet the different users' needs for resistance, the elastic force of the elastic element 300 can be controlled by adjusting its compression, thereby affecting the contact pressure between the first abutment portion 140 and the second abutment portion 211.
[0067] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first housing 100 has a central hole 130, and the central post 210 is inserted into the central hole 130. The first abutment portion 140 of the first housing 100 includes a first flange 141, which protrudes radially toward the first axis along the central hole 130; the second abutment portion 211 of the second housing 200 includes a second flange 2111, which protrudes radially from the surface of the central post 210 toward a direction opposite to the first axis. This structure ensures stable relative rotation between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, while the protruding design of the first flange 141 and the second flange 2111 ensures that the elastic member 300 can effectively apply pressure.
[0068] Understandably, the design of the central hole 130 of the first housing 100 allows the insertion of the central post 210, thereby ensuring the alignment of the axes of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. The first flange 141 protrudes radially toward the first axis along the central hole 130, increasing the structural strength of the first housing 100 and helping to maintain the stability of the first housing 100 under the action of the elastic member 300. Similarly, the second flange 2111 protrudes radially away from the first axis along the central post 210, ensuring the structural stability of the second housing 200, and the second flange 2111 cooperates with the first flange 141 to form a reliable contact surface for the elastic member 300.
[0069] Understandably, in some embodiments, the central column 210 is a regular cylinder, and the second flange 2111 is an annular flange surrounding the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder; in some embodiments, the central column 210 has two segments, an upper segment closer to the first housing 100 and a lower segment farther from the first housing 100, with the diameter of the lower segment larger than that of the upper segment. In this case, a second flange 2111 is provided at the transition point between the upper and lower segments. The second flange 2111 is annular, and its inner and outer sides connect to the upper and lower segments respectively, forming a stepped surface. This stepped surface is configured as a second abutment 211 for abutting against the first abutment 140.
[0070] It is understandable that the thickness and width of the first flange 141 and the second flange 2111 can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet different rotational resistance requirements, while also ensuring the stability of the structure. For example, in some embodiments, a thicker first flange 141 and second flange 2111 are provided to increase structural rigidity on the one hand, and to accommodate elastic elements 300 with different hardness on the other.
[0071] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the central column 210 is designed as a stepped shaft, with the contact surface being the stepped surface of the stepped shaft. This structural design utilizes the characteristics of the stepped shaft, enabling the first housing 100 to maintain stable contact with the second housing 200 through the stepped surface, ensuring the stability of the first housing 100 during rotation. By adjusting the contact area between the stepped surface of the stepped shaft and the first housing 100, good contact performance of the atomizing component is ensured at different positions, preventing the first housing 100 from shaking due to poor contact.
[0072] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, a first positioning part 150 is provided on the side of the first flange 141 facing the abutment surface, and a second positioning part 220 is provided on the abutment surface to cooperate with the first positioning part 150. The number of the first positioning part 150 and / or the second positioning part 220 matches the number of compartments 110 to form a structure that allows the atomizing matrix to be smoothly atomized. This structural design ensures that when the first housing 100 rotates around the first axis, the compartments 110 can be accurately positioned through the cooperation of the first positioning part 150 and the second positioning part 220, avoiding idle rotation. At the same time, it allows the user to feel obvious tactile feedback when rotating the first housing 100 to switch compartments 110, improving the user experience. The design of the first positioning part 150 and the second positioning part 220 is based on the number of compartments 110, so that when the first housing 100 rotates, each compartment 110 can be accurately positioned through the cooperation of the first positioning part 150 and the second positioning part 220. The first positioning part 150 can be a protrusion 221 provided on the first flange 141, while the second positioning part 220 is a groove formed on the abutment surface. When the first housing 100 rotates to the designated compartment 110, the protrusion 221 will fall into the corresponding groove to achieve positioning. This design not only ensures the stability of the first housing 100 during rotation, but also ensures the accuracy of positioning, allowing the user to intuitively feel the positioning action when switching compartments 110, thus improving the overall user experience.
[0073] The first positioning unit 150 and the second positioning unit 220 can be in a one-to-many form, a many-to-one form, or a multiple sets of one-to-one forms. For example, in some embodiments, the first flange 141 is provided with a plurality of first positioning portions 150, and the second flange 2111 is provided with a second positioning portion 220. The plurality of first positioning portions 150 respectively correspond to a plurality of compartments 110 for installing atomizing substrate. The first positioning portions 150 and the second positioning portions 220 cooperate to make the corresponding atomizing substrate suitable for electrical connection with a power source. In some embodiments, the first flange 141 is provided with a first positioning portion 150, and the second flange 2111 is provided with a plurality of second positioning portions 220. The first positioning portion 150 cooperates with the plurality of second positioning portions 220 to position different atomizing substrates and make them electrically connected to a power source. In some embodiments, the first flange 141 includes a plurality of first positioning portions 150, and the second flange 2111 includes a plurality of second positioning portions 220. The plurality of first positioning portions 150 and the plurality of second positioning portions 220 can correspond to each other simultaneously, so that the atomizing substrate at the compartment 110 corresponding to the first positioning portion 150 can be electrically connected to a power source after cooperating with one of the specific second positioning portions 220.
[0074] It is understood that in some embodiments, the shapes of the first positioning part 150 and the second positioning part 220 can be designed in various ways, such as cylindrical, to adapt to different installation spaces and requirements. The dimensions of the positioning parts can also be adjusted according to the size of the atomizing matrix to ensure a stable connection. The surface of the positioning parts can be coated with a wear-resistant layer to extend their service life and reduce wear.
[0075] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first positioning part 150 or the second positioning part 220 is a protrusion 221, and the corresponding second positioning part 220 or the first positioning part 150 is a recess 151 or a hole. The protrusion 221 and the recess 151 or hole are configured to cooperate, and the protrusion 221 and the recess 151 or hole can slide relative to each other and disengage under the action of force. This structural design ensures that when the first housing 100 rotates, the protrusion 221 can smoothly cooperate with the recess 151 or hole, thereby realizing the rapid positioning of the compartment 110. At the same time, after positioning, a certain resistance can be generated between the protrusion 221 and the recess 151 or hole, which enhances the tactile feedback during user operation.
[0076] Understandably, in some embodiments, the design of the protrusion 221 and the recess 151 or hole allows the protrusion 221 to accurately fall into the recess 151 or hole when the first housing 100 rotates to the predetermined compartment 110, thus locking the compartment 110. Simultaneously, due to the tight fit between the protrusion 221 and the recess 151 or hole, as the first housing 100 continues to rotate, the protrusion 221 needs to overcome a certain resistance to disengage from the recess 151 or hole. This resistance provides the user with clear operational feedback, allowing the user to clearly know when the compartment 110 is locked and when it is unlocked. Furthermore, by adjusting the shape and size of the protrusion 221 and the recess 151 or hole, the positioning effect and tactile feedback during user operation can be further optimized, improving the overall user experience of the atomizing assembly.
[0077] It is understood that in some embodiments, the shape of the protrusion 221 can be designed as conical, arc-shaped, or spherical, that is, along the protrusion direction of the protrusion 221, the cross-sectional area intercepted by the plane perpendicular to the protrusion direction of the protrusion 221 gradually decreases. With this configuration, on the one hand, when the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200, the inclined structure of the protrusion 221 will slide out of the recess 151, facilitating the protrusion 221's disengagement from the recess 151. Furthermore, the force exerted by the protrusion 221 on the first housing 100 is inclined to the first axis. During the process of the protrusion 221 moving out of the recess 151, the first housing 100 will be lifted along the inclined surface of the protrusion 221, compressing the elastic element 300. The elastic element 300 applies elastic force to enhance the stability of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 along the first axis. Therefore, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 of this solution have good stability and compactness under both static and dynamic conditions. When the next set of protrusions 221 and recesses 151 are formed, the elastic force applied by the elastic element 300 makes the protrusions 221 and recesses 151 quickly complete the engagement, and the protrusions 221 smoothly embed into the recesses 151, with smooth and accurate positioning.
[0078] It is understandable that the recess 151 can be a groove corresponding to the protrusion 221. The size of the recess 151 can be slightly larger than the protrusion 221, leaving a certain gap to accommodate the expansion or contraction caused by temperature changes during the operation of the electronic atomizing device, while maintaining the reliability of positioning.
[0079] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the material of the protrusion 221 can be an elastic material, such as rubber or plastic, so that when it is inserted into the recess 151, the protrusion 221 can be slightly deformed to reduce the impact force during insertion, and at the same time, it can return to its original shape after positioning to ensure the firmness of positioning.
[0080] In some embodiments, the first positioning part 150 is a positioning bead, and the second positioning part 220 is a spherical groove that mates with the positioning bead. The positioning bead is limited at the location of the first flange 141 and can roll freely at that position (the specific structure can be referred to as a universal ball structure). The spherical groove is located on the abutment surface of the second flange 2111. When the first housing 100 rotates, the positioning bead interacts with the spherical groove to achieve smooth positioning. The positioning bead is limited at the first flange 141 and can roll freely at the set position. When the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200, the positioning bead interacts with the spherical groove of the second flange 2111. Due to the design of the positioning bead and the spherical groove, when the first housing 100 rotates, the positioning bead rolls in the spherical groove, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the rotation of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. Through the matching design of the positioning bead and the spherical groove, the stability and smoothness of the atomizing component during use are improved, further enhancing the user's feel.
[0081] It is understood that in some embodiments, the size and shape of the positioning beads can be adjusted according to the specific dimensions of the first flange 141. The position and depth of the spherical groove also need to match the positioning beads to ensure smooth engagement. Furthermore, to improve positioning accuracy, multiple positioning beads can be provided on the first flange 141, and correspondingly, multiple spherical grooves can be provided on the second flange 2111. This not only increases the reliability of positioning but also ensures that the positioning beads and spherical grooves are accurately aligned during the rotation of the first housing 100, thereby improving the overall operational stability of the atomizing assembly.
[0082] Reference Figures 11 to 13In some embodiments, the clamping sleeve 410 is fitted onto the central post 210, located outside the elastic member 300. Its dimensions are matched to the central post 210, allowing it to be tightly fixed to the central post 210. This ensures that the clamping sleeve 410 does not slide relative to the central post 210 as the first housing 100 rotates, thus ensuring that the position of the elastic member 300 remains fixed during the rotation of the first housing 100. During the rotation of the first housing 100 relative to the second housing 200, a stable structure is formed between the clamping sleeve 410 and the central post 210, ensuring that the position of the elastic member 300 does not change. When the first housing 100 rotates, the first abutment portion 140 on the first housing 100 slides along the abutment surface of the second abutment portion 211 on the central post 210. At this time, the elastic member 300 provides elastic force along the first axis direction, making the contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 more stable and avoiding inaccurate positioning due to free rotation. The design of the clamping sleeve 410 ensures the stability of the elastic element 300, thereby ensuring stable contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, allowing the first housing 100 to rotate smoothly without free-spinning. By defining the position of the elastic element 300 through the clamping sleeve 410, it ensures that the elastic element 300 can stably provide the required elastic force, enabling the first housing 100 to rotate smoothly and stably relative to the second housing 200. This also ensures a greater difference in tactile feedback between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 during positioning, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the design of the clamping sleeve 410 reduces the possibility of the elastic element 300 shifting, further enhancing the stability and durability of the entire atomizing assembly.
[0083] Understandably, the clamping sleeve 410 can be made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as engineering plastics or metal. Such materials can ensure strength while possessing a certain degree of deformation capacity, allowing the clamping sleeve 410 to better fit the central column 210, reducing gaps and increasing stability. The clamping sleeve 410 can be installed on the central column 210 through an interference fit, or an anti-slip pad can be placed between the clamping sleeve 410 and the central column 210 to increase friction and ensure a secure installation. The inner wall of the clamping sleeve 410 can be designed to match the surface of the central column 210, such as by providing annular protrusions 221 or grooves, which cooperate with the surface structure of the central column 210 to enhance the friction between the clamping sleeve 410 and the central column 210 and prevent relative slippage.
[0084] Reference Figures 11 to 13The clamping sleeve 410 is divided into two parts: a first segment 411 and a second segment 412. The first segment 411 has a smaller diameter, while the second segment 412 has a larger diameter. The two segments are directly connected, forming a stepped structure. The first segment 411 is located closer to the elastic element 300, while the second segment 412 is located further away from the elastic element 300. This design facilitates close contact between the clamping sleeve 410 and the elastic element 300, and the larger diameter of the second segment 412 also helps improve the overall stability of the clamping sleeve 410. The first segment 411 contacts the elastic element 300, while the second segment 412 provides support. When the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200, the elastic element 300 provides elastic force along the first axis, making the contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 more stable. The first segment 411 is in close contact with the elastic element 300, while the larger diameter of the second segment 412 helps improve the stability of the entire clamping sleeve 410, ensuring that the elastic element 300 remains in a fixed position when the first housing 100 rotates, thus guaranteeing that the elastic element 300 can always provide the predetermined elastic force. The design of the clamping sleeve 410 with the first segment 411 and the second segment 412 not only ensures the positional stability of the elastic element 300 but also improves the stability of the clamping sleeve 410 itself, thereby ensuring that the elastic element 300 can always provide the predetermined elastic force, guaranteeing the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the first housing 100 relative to the second housing 200. Furthermore, this segmented design of the clamping sleeve 410 also facilitates assembly and disassembly, reducing production difficulty.
[0085] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figures 11 to 13The elastic element 300 includes a spring 310, which is sleeved on the central post 210. One end of the spring 310 abuts against the clamping sleeve 410, and the other end abuts against the side of the first flange 141 opposite to the abutment surface. The spring 310 enables stable contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, and, through the cooperation of the clamping sleeve 410, further enhances the stability and compactness of the entire atomizing assembly. When the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200, the first flange 141 on the first housing 100 slides along the abutment surface of the second abutment portion 211 on the second housing 200. During this process, the spring 310 provides elastic force along the first axis, making the contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 more stable. Furthermore, due to the action of the spring 310, sufficient damping is maintained even when the first housing 100 rotates, allowing the user to perceive a clear sense of positioning during operation, thus improving the user experience. The clamping sleeve 410, with its different diameters for the first segment 411 and the second segment 412, ensures the stability of the spring 310's position. The first segment 411 contacts the spring 310, while the second segment 412 provides support. The direct connection between the two allows the clamping sleeve 410 to effectively fix the position of the spring 310, preventing the spring 310 from shifting when the first housing 100 rotates.
[0086] With the appropriate elastic force provided by spring 310, the first housing 100 can generate a clear positioning feel when rotating relative to the second housing 200, making it easier for the user to perceive the different compartments 110 during operation and improving the user experience. Spring 310 is located near the first axis, and its elastic force acts near the rotation axes of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, making the entire atomizing assembly structure more stable and compact. The damping effect provided by spring 310 effectively prevents the first housing 100 from spinning freely relative to the second housing 200, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire atomizing assembly during use.
[0087] Reference Figures 11 to 13 In some embodiments, the elastic element 300 includes a spring 310, which is sleeved on the central post 210. One end of the spring 310 abuts against the clamping sleeve 410, and the other end abuts against the side of the first flange 141 opposite to the second flange 2111. By utilizing the elastic characteristics of the spring 310, on the one hand, it ensures that the user can feel a significant damping effect during rotational operation, improving the comfort of operation; on the other hand, it ensures the stability and compactness of the atomizing assembly along the first axis, preventing the parts of the atomizing assembly from colliding with each other and generating noise that would affect the user experience.
[0088] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the spring force coefficient of spring 310 can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet the damping requirements of different users. The length and diameter of spring 310 can also be customized according to the distance between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to ensure that spring 310 is in optimal compression state during operation, providing appropriate elasticity.
[0089] It is understandable that the elastic element 300 can also be a spring sheet or other elastic structure that can provide elastic force along the first axis, so that the first abutting part 140 can abut against the second abutting part 211.
[0090] Reference Figures 10 to 13 In some embodiments, the clamping sleeve 410 includes a first segment 411 and a second segment 412 distributed along a first axis. The diameter of the second segment 412 is larger than the diameter of the first segment 411. The second segment 412 is connected to the first segment 411 by a third flange 413. The third flange 413 is located between the second segment 412 and the first segment 411 and protrudes from the first segment 411 in a direction opposite to the first axis. The first segment 411 is sleeved on the central post 210. The third flange 413 abuts against the side of the central hole 130 opposite to the first housing 100 along the first axis. Along the first direction, the clamping sleeve 410 abuts against the central hole 130, and the first flange 141 disposed in the central hole 130 abuts against the second flange 2111 of the central post 210, making the entire atomizing assembly structure compact and improving the stability and reliability of the atomizing assembly structure.
[0091] Reference Figures 10 to 13 In some embodiments, the nozzle structure 400 includes a nozzle cover 420 and a positioning pin 430. The nozzle cover 420 is located on the side of the first housing 100 opposite to the second housing 200 along a first axis. The positioning pin 430 is inserted into the central post 210 to connect the clamping sleeve 410 and the central post 210. The nozzle cover 420 includes a magnetic element 440, which is magnetically connected to the positioning pin to connect the nozzle cover 420 to the clamping sleeve 410. This design utilizes the magnetic force of the magnetic element 440 to achieve quick connection and disassembly between the nozzle cover 420 and the clamping sleeve 410, facilitating the installation of the atomizing matrix insertion chamber 110 and making it easy to replace the nozzle cover 420, thus ensuring the hygiene of the atomizing assembly after prolonged use. Furthermore, with this configuration, since the clamping sleeve 410 does not rotate with the first housing 100, the positioning pin 430 is fixed to the clamping sleeve 410, the magnetic component 440 and the positioning pin 430 are magnetically connected, and there is a gap between the nozzle cover 420 and the first housing 100, the nozzle cover 420 does not rotate with the first housing 100. That is, when the user switches the atomizing medium, the nozzle cover 420 does not move. This configuration is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0092] It is understandable that the connection between the locating pin 430 and the center post 210 can be an interference fit or a threaded connection to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection.
[0093] Reference Figures 11 to 13 In some embodiments, the second segment 412 has a limiting groove 4121, the depth direction of which is parallel to the first axis. The nozzle cover 420 includes a limiting part 421. After the nozzle cover 420 is magnetically connected to the positioning pin 430, the limiting part 421 is inserted into the limiting groove 4121 to restrict the rotation of the nozzle cover 420 relative to the clamping sleeve 410. This design, through the cooperation of the limiting groove 4121 and the limiting part 421, further prevents accidental rotation of the nozzle cover 420 during use, thus improving safety.
[0094] The atomizing assembly in this design utilizes the elastic force provided by the elastic element 300 to ensure tight contact between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. Simultaneously, the engagement of the protrusion 221 and the recess 151 achieves accurate positioning and electrical connection of the atomizing matrix. The spring 310 provides damping during rotation, improving the user experience. The magnetic design of the nozzle structure 400 and the design of the limiting part 421 ensure stable connection of the nozzle cover 420 and prevent accidental rotation, enhancing safety and convenience of use.
[0095] Through the above design, the atomizing component not only enables rapid switching between multiple compartments, improving the user experience, but also solves the problem of difficulty in adding damping pads to small atomizing devices in related technical fields, avoiding the phenomenon of random collisions between parts and generating noise, ensuring the feel and position feedback when switching compartment 110, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire device.
[0096] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
