It should be noted that, provided there is no conflict, the various embodiments and features within them can be combined with each other, and all resulting technical solutions are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] It should be noted that the specification of this application contains a large number of technical features distributed across various technical solutions. Listing all possible combinations of technical features (i.e., technical solutions) would make the specification excessively lengthy. To avoid this problem, the various technical features disclosed in the above-described utility model content, the various technical features disclosed in the following embodiments and examples, and the various technical features disclosed in the accompanying drawings can be freely combined to form various new technical solutions (all of which are considered to have been described in this specification), unless such a combination of technical features is technically infeasible.

Therefore, the solution A+B+C+D should not be considered as described because it is technically infeasible, while the solution A+B+C+E should be considered as described.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an electronic cigarette with a novel button, including a power supply body 9 and an atomizer 1 electrically connected to the power supply body 9. The power supply body 9 has a button structure 901 and a power board 6 for supplying power to the atomizer 1. The power board 6 has a start button 601. The button structure 901 has a contact piece 401 corresponding to the start button 601, a first bracket 402 and a second bracket 403 connected to the contact piece 401, and a start button 5 that abuts against the contact piece 401 and is exposed outside the power supply body 9. The shape and material of the first bracket 402 and the second bracket 403 can provide elasticity to the contact piece 401. When the start button 5 is pressed outside the power supply body 9, the contact piece 401 can contact the start button 601 and start the power board 6 to supply power to the atomizer 1. It should be noted that the button structure 901 is designed as a single piece, which is simple in structure. Compared with the button structure 901 on existing electronic cigarettes, it not only eliminates the need for assembly, avoids defective products, saves labor costs, and improves assembly efficiency, but also saves the cost of a rubber pad used to provide elasticity and the labor cost of assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first bracket 402 and the second bracket 403 are integrally formed with the contact piece 401. The contact piece 401 is elliptical and its area is larger than that of the start button 601. The first bracket 402 is L-shaped and the second bracket 403 is inverted L-shaped. The first bracket 402 and the second bracket 403 are integrally formed with the contact piece 401, requiring no separate design or assembly. The contact piece 401 is elliptical in shape, and its area is larger than that of the start button 601. This results in a larger force-bearing area and contact area, leading to lower pressure under pressure and preventing damage to the start button 601 when the pressing force is too high. The first bracket 402 is L-shaped, and the second bracket 403 is inverted L-shaped. This not only provides good support for the contact piece 401 but also improves its stress stability. Furthermore, the contact piece 401 can deform and rebound under force, allowing it to contact the start button 601 and also allowing it to return to its original position.

[0025] In some embodiments, the first support 402, the second support 403, and the contact piece 401 are made of one of the following materials: plastic, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and nano-boron fiber. In this embodiment, the first support 402, the second support 403, and the contact piece 401 are preferably made of plastic, which not only has good toughness and will not break under stress, but also has good elasticity. Furthermore, it can be integrally molded using an in-mold injection molding process, making the manufacturing process and material costs very low.

[0026] In some embodiments, the power supply body 9 is provided with an adapter cavity 801, and the bottom wall of the adapter cavity 801 is provided with a conductive structure 902. The bottom end of the atomizer 1 is provided with a power connection structure 110 corresponding to the conductive structure 902.

The button hole 802 is used to make the start button 5 exposed for easy pressing, and the shape and size of the button hole 802 can change with the shape and size of the start button 5.

[0028] In some embodiments, the power supply body 9 includes a fixing frame 4, with the power board 6 disposed inside the fixing frame 4. A notch 404 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing frame 4. The contact piece 401, the first bracket 402, and the second bracket 403 are all located within the notch 404. One end of the first bracket 402 is connected to one side wall of the contact piece 401, and the other end is connected to the top of the notch 404. One end of the second bracket 403 is connected to the other side wall of the contact piece 401, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the notch 404. The fixing frame 4 is used to fix the power board 6, and the notch 404 allows the contact piece 401, the first bracket 402, and the second bracket 403 to be suspended within the notch, corresponding to the start button 601. When pressed, the notch deforms and sinks to contact the start button 601. Furthermore, the deformation of the first bracket 402 and the second bracket 403 generates a rebound force, causing the contact piece 401 and the start button 601 to reset.

[0029] In some embodiments, the notch 404, the first bracket 402, the second bracket 403, and the contact piece 401 are all integrally formed with the fixing frame 4. A groove 501 matching the contact piece 401 is provided at one end of the start button 5. The contact piece 401 is embedded in the groove 501, causing the start button 5 to abut against the contact piece 401. The notch 404, the first bracket 402, the second bracket 403, and the contact piece 401 are all integrally formed with the fixing frame 4 using an in-mold injection molding process. After the fixing frame 4 is demolded, the notch 404 and the button structure 901 are formed. The groove 501 is used to allow the contact piece 401 to be embedded within and abut against the start button 5 for contact connection.

[0030] In some embodiments, the power supply unit 9 further includes a main body shell 8, a fixing bracket 4 disposed inside the main body shell 8, and an adapter cavity 801 formed in the internal space of the main body shell 8 above the top wall of the fixing bracket 4.

The start button 5 protrudes through the button hole 802 and is exposed outside the main body shell 8. The main body shell 8 is used to house the fixing bracket 4. After the atomizer 1 is inserted into the adapter cavity 801, its upper end is exposed at the top of the main body shell 8 for easy smoking. The first conductor 2 and the second conductor 3 are both made of conductive metal material for conductive connection of the atomizer 1. The air inlet 803 is used for external airflow to enter the adapter cavity 801 to provide the atomizer 1 with the airflow required for atomization.

[0031] In some embodiments, the power supply body 9 further includes a battery cell 7, which is also disposed within the mounting bracket 4 and electrically connected to the power board 6.
