[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0039] Figures 1 to 4A housing structure for a nebulizer provided in this application includes an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 2. The outer shell 1 has an axial mounting cavity extending through it. A partition plate 11 is provided inside the mounting cavity to divide it into a first chamber 1a and a second chamber 1b. The side wall of the first chamber 1a has a mist outlet 1c communicating with it. The first chamber 1a is used to accommodate a nebulizer component 3. The opening end of the first chamber 1a has an inclined cut surface 12 to expose a portion of the nebulizer component 3. The wall of the second chamber 1b has a snap-fit groove 1e. The inner shell 2 is detachably accommodated in the second chamber 1b and has an electrical cavity for accommodating an electrical component 4. The outer wall surface of the inner shell 2 has a snap-fit protrusion 21 that engages with the snap-fit groove 1e.
[0040] It is understood that the atomizing component 3 and the electrical component 4 are separated into two different chambers by the partition plate 11, and the electrical component 4 is located in the electrical cavity of the inner shell 2. The inner shell 2 provides further protection for the electrical component 4, resulting in high waterproof performance and enhanced safety. Simultaneously, the inner shell 2 is stably fixed within the second chamber 1b through the cooperation of the snap-fit groove 1e and the snap-fit protrusion 21. Furthermore, an inclined cut surface 12 is provided at the opening end of the first chamber 1a, allowing a portion of the atomizing component 3 to be exposed outside the outer shell 1, facilitating operation of the atomizing component 3.
[0041] The atomizing assembly 3 includes an atomizing head 31 and a liquid bottle 32. The atomizing head 31 is housed in the first chamber 1a, and the liquid bottle 32 is detachably connected to the side of the atomizing head 31 facing away from the partition plate 11. The liquid bottle 32 contains liquid, which the atomizing head 31 atomizes and then sprays out through the spray nozzle of the atomizing head 31 and the mist outlet 1c of the outer casing 1. When in use, the user can align the mist outlet 1c with the part of the body that needs atomization.
[0042] Thus, the inclined cut surface 12 exposes the liquid bottle 32, facilitating user disassembly of the device. Furthermore, the housing structure in this embodiment significantly reduces the impact on the electrical components 4 within the inner housing 2 should liquid leakage occur during disassembly of the liquid bottle 32. Simultaneously, the user can easily pour out any liquid that leaks into the first chamber 1a.
[0043] In this embodiment, a magnet 26 is provided on the side of the inner shell 2 facing the partition plate 11, and a magnet 26 is also provided on the side of the atomizing head 31 facing the partition plate 11. The atomizing head 31 can be stably installed through the mutual magnetic attraction of the two magnets 26.
[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, there are two snap-fit protrusions 21, located on two opposite outer wall surfaces of the inner shell 2; thus, the connection stability between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1 can be improved.
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the snap-fit groove 1e is positioned near the opening of the second chamber 1b. The snap-fit protrusion 21 is correspondingly positioned on the inner shell 2 away from the partition plate 11. It is understood that after the inner shell 2 is inserted into the second chamber 1b, the snap-fit groove 1e and the snap-fit protrusion 21 cooperate to achieve smooth assembly.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer shell 1 is made of a transparent material. This serves both aesthetic purposes and facilitates observation of the contents of the first chamber 1a and the second chamber 1b. For example, if water leakage is observed in the first chamber 1a, it can be emptied promptly.
[0047] In other embodiments, the outer shell 1 may also be made of a non-transparent material.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the technical solution of this embodiment, the inner shell 2 is made of an opaque material.
[0049] Understandably, the inner shell 2 is made of an opaque material, which can visually cover the electrical components 4 inside the electrical cavity, thus enhancing the appearance.
[0050] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the partition plate 11 is provided with a through hole for passing through the conductive post 25, and the electrical component 4 and the atomizing component 3 are electrically connected through the conductive post 25.
[0051] It is understandable that the electrical components are electrically connected to the atomizing head 31 by setting through holes.
[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution of this embodiment also includes a sealing ring 22, which is located in the second chamber 1b and is provided corresponding to the through hole.
[0053] It is understandable that the sealing ring 22 can serve as a seal for waterproofing.
[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the inner shell 2 includes a support 23 and a cover 24. The support 23 is provided with an assembly cavity for accommodating the electrical component 4. The cover 24 is disposed at the open end of the support 23 to enclose and form the electrical cavity. The conductive post 25 passes through the cover 24. The sealing ring 22 is sleeved on the conductive post 25 and is located between the cover 24 and the partition plate 11.
[0055] Understandably, the installation of the mounting base and cover 24 facilitates the installation of the electrical components 4.
[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the inner shell 2 is provided with a positioning groove 2b on the side facing the partition plate 11, and the cavity wall of the second chamber 1b is provided with a positioning protrusion 13, which is positioned and engaged with the positioning groove 2b.
[0057] Understandably, the positioning groove 2b and the positioning protrusion 13 work together to achieve the positioning of the inner shell 2 and the second chamber 1b, thus preventing misalignment during installation and serving as a foolproof mechanism.
[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 1 is also provided with a switch groove 1d, which is used to install the switch 5; the mist outlet 1c is provided corresponding to the switch groove 1d and is connected to it.
[0059] It is understandable that by setting the switch groove 1d to accommodate the switch 5, the size of the switch 5 protruding from the housing 1 can be reduced, or even the switch 5 can be completely accommodated within the switch groove 1d, thus reducing accidental activation.
[0060] On the other hand, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides a nebulizer drug delivery device 100, including a nebulizer component 3, an electrical component 4, and the housing structure of the nebulizer drug delivery device as described above. The specific structure of the housing structure of the nebulizer drug delivery device is as described in the above embodiments. Since the nebulizer drug delivery device 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. Among them, the nebulizer component 3 includes a nebulizer head 31 and a liquid bottle 32. The nebulizer head 31 is accommodated in the first chamber 1a, and the liquid bottle 32 is detachably connected to the side of the nebulizer head 31 away from the partition plate 11. The spray port of the nebulizer head 31 is correspondingly arranged and connected to the mist outlet 1c of the outer shell 1. The electrical component 4 is disposed in the electrical cavity and is electrically connected to the nebulizer head 31.
