The first electrode 4 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3. One end of the conductive element 5 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The second electrode 6 is disposed on the base 2. When the base 2 is in the first state, the second electrode 6 is in electrical contact with the other end of the conductive element 5, and the first electrode 4 and the second electrode 6 are in one-to-one contact with the two poles of the battery 100.

[0045] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 is semi-cylindrical, and the interior of the bracket 1 is provided with a semi-cylindrical mounting space 11 for installing the battery 100. When installing the battery 100, the user can directly and manually insert the battery 100 into the mounting space 11 through the mounting hole 12. At the same time, after the battery 100 is installed, it is connected to the bracket 1 through the base 2, so that the mounting hole 12 is closed.

[0047] This device enables quick installation and removal of the battery 100, facilitating timely replacement and maintenance of the battery 100 and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, installing the battery 100 and completing the structural connection between the base 2 and the bracket 1 naturally forms a complete circuit connection.

[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 2 -Appendix Figure 4The conductive component 5 includes a first body 51, a first connecting portion 52 and a second connecting portion 53 located at both ends of the first body 51.

The second connecting portion 53 is used to contact the second electrode 6.

[0049] In this embodiment, the conductive element 5 is a metal conductive sheet. The first main body 51 and its two ends, the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 53, are an integral structure, which can be manufactured by cutting and bending the metal sheet. The first connecting part 52 is plate-shaped and is inserted into the circuit board 3. In order to ensure the stability of the electrical connection, the first connecting part 52 can be further soldered to the circuit board 3. The structure of the second connecting part 53 needs to be adapted to the structure of the second electrode 6. It can adopt a ring structure or a partially ring structure to increase the contact area with the second electrode 6.

[0050] Furthermore, the bracket 1 includes a body 13, which includes an inner wall 131 and an outer wall 132 opposite to the inner wall 131. The inner wall 131 is used to enclose and form at least part of the installation space 11, and the first body 51 is disposed on the surface of the inner wall 131.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 can be directly manufactured by injection molding. The molded body 13 includes an inner wall 131 facing inward and an outer wall 132 facing outward, which are arranged opposite to each other. The thickness of the body 13 is the distance between the inner wall 131 and the outer wall 132. The inner wall 131 is semi-cylindrical and forms an installation space 11 for placing the battery 100. The first body 51 is a long, curved structure that extends along the length of the body 13. Furthermore, the first body 51 can be directly bonded to the surface of the inner wall 131 by dispensing or hot-melt processes (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown).

[0052] Please see the appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 Optionally, the second electrode 6 includes a second body 61 for contacting one of the poles of the battery 100, and a plurality of contact portions 62 spaced along the circumference of the battery 100 on the second body 61, the contact portions 62 being electrically connected to the second connection portion 53.

When the base 2 is connected to the bracket 1, the contact portions 62 naturally abut against the annular second connecting portion 53.

[0054] By arranging multiple contact portions 62 along the circumference and electrically connecting them to the annular second connecting portion 53, the reliability of the electrical connection can be guaranteed even when the base 2 is frequently disassembled, reducing the probability of conduction abnormalities.

[0055] Furthermore, the contact portion 62 includes an arched boss 621, which is elastic.

[0056] In this embodiment, the contact portion 62 is a strip-shaped plate structure formed by bending at a certain angle to the second body 61. The contact portion 62 is formed by a mold bending process to form an arched boss 621 that protrudes outward toward the second connecting portion 53. The boss 621 is a partially cylindrical surface with a smooth surface.

[0057] The boss 621 generates a certain elastic deformation and presses against the surface of the annular second connecting part 53 to achieve a reliable electrical connection.

[0058] Optionally, the second body 61 is provided with an arched portion 63 protruding toward the battery 100. The arched portion 63 is elastic, and when the base 2 is in the first state, the battery 100 presses against the arched portion 63.

[0059] Specifically, a square hole is provided at the center of the second main body 61, and the arched part 63 has a bridge-like structure, with its two ends connected to any two opposite sides of the square hole. The shape of the arched part 63 can be partially cylindrical or partially spherical to ensure that the top of the arched part 63 has an arc transition. After the base 2 and the bracket 1 are connected, the elastic deformation of the arched part 63 can ensure a reliable electrical connection between the negative terminal of the battery 100 and the second main body 61.

[0060] Optionally, the second body 61 is embedded in the base 2 or attached to the wall of the base 2 relative to the battery 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second body 61 is provided with a certain number of connecting holes. The second body 61 fits against the base 2, and the base 2 has connecting posts protruding at the positions corresponding to the connecting holes. The connecting posts and connecting holes are interference-fitted, thereby fixing the second body 61 to the wall of the base 2 and ensuring a simple and reliable connection. In other embodiments, the second body 61 can also be used as an insert, and the second body 61 can be placed inside the base 2 through an integrated injection molding process, thereby reducing the number of parts and assembly steps. Those skilled in the art can make a targeted selection between the two configuration methods of the second body 61 by considering the assembly difficulty, mold manufacturing and processing costs, and part costs.

[0062] Please see the appendix Figure 6 Optionally, the first electrode 4 is an elastic conductive sheet, and the first electrode 4 has a bent portion 41 protruding toward the battery 100, and the battery 100 presses against the bent portion 41.

[0063] Specifically, the first electrode 4 is an elastic metal conductive sheet, which is formed by bending the metal conductive sheet using a bending mold. The first electrode 4 has an overall U-shaped structure. One side of the vertical metal plate is inserted into the pre-installation position of the circuit board 3 and fixed by welding. On the other side of the vertical metal plate of the first electrode 4, a bent portion 41 protruding towards the battery 100 is formed. The top of the bent portion 41 has an arc-shaped transition to increase the contact area with the positive electrode of the battery 100. The first electrode 4 maintains reliable electrical contact with the positive electrode of the battery 100 through its own elastic deformation.

[0064] Please see the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 Optionally, the base 2 is provided with an external thread 21, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 12 is provided with an internal thread 121. The base 2 is screwed into the mounting hole 12 through the cooperation of the internal thread 121 and the external thread 21.

[0065] Specifically, the connection between the base 2 and the bracket 1 can be achieved in various ways. For example, the base 2 can be directly inserted into the mounting hole 12, and the two can be connected by snap-fit ​​or interference fit. In this embodiment, the base 2 and the bracket 1 are screwed together by the external thread 21 of the base 2 and the internal thread 121 of the mounting hole 12. The screw connection not only enables the connection to be detachable, but also ensures the convenience of disassembly and installation operations, that is, the user can install and disassemble the base 2 by hand.

[0066] Please see the appendix Figure 7 In this embodiment, the aerosol generating device also includes a housing 7, and a support 1 is disposed inside the housing 7.

[0067] The housing 7 has a cylindrical structure and is fitted around the outer periphery of the support 1 so that the support 1 and battery 100 are located inside the housing 7, thus protecting the internal structure.
