Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizer technology, and in particular to an elastic electrode for atomizers. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of an atomizer, the electrode is one of the key components, responsible for transmitting electrical energy to drive the atomization process. Traditional atomizer electrodes have some shortcomings in structure and performance. For example, poor sealing performance may lead to liquid leakage, affecting atomization effect and device life; the electrode fixing method is not flexible enough, and poor contact problems are prone to occur under long-term use or vibration.

[0003] Therefore, a new type of flexible electrode for atomizers is needed to overcome these shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an elastic electrode for atomizers that has advantages such as novel structure, good sealing performance, stable electrical connection, easy assembly and maintenance, safety and reliability, and strong adaptability, which can meet the various needs of atomizers during operation and improve the performance and quality of atomizers, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above technical solution, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A flexible electrode for an atomizer mainly includes a hollow electrode shell with both ends connected to the outside. A first electrode and a second electrode are movably disposed inside the electrode shell. An elastic element drives adjacent first and second electrodes to abut against both ends of the electrode shell to form a seal. This structural design ensures both good electrical connection and effective sealing during operation.

[0006] Furthermore, the electrode housing includes a first housing, one end of which is detachably screwed with a limit sealing cap. This detachable connection facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of internal electrode components.

[0007] Furthermore, the hollow first housing is provided with a guide hole adapted to the first electrode, which extends to the inner connection point of the first housing in a frustum shape. The frustum shape facilitates the guidance of the first electrode's movement within the housing, ensuring the accuracy of its movement direction and reducing wear on the electrode. A positioning groove is provided on the circumference corresponding to the guide hole, which can be used to position the first electrode during assembly, ensuring the electrode's installation accuracy. One end of the first housing is chamfered, facilitating the installation and connection of other components, while the other end is threaded for screwing onto the limiting sealing cap.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting seal cover has a through hole, the diameter of which is much smaller than the diameter of the second electrode. This design can limit the second electrode and prevent it from coming off the limiting seal cover. One end of the limiting seal cover has a rounded surface. The rounded surface design makes the entire electrode smoother during installation and use, avoiding sharp edges that could damage surrounding components.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the first electrode is spherically shaped. This spherical end reduces friction and wear when in contact with other components, and also makes it easier to adapt to different positional changes during movement. The other end has an umbrella-shaped sealing surface, which, under the action of an elastic element, can fit tightly against the electrode housing to achieve a good sealing effect and prevent liquid or gas leakage from the atomizer.

[0010] Furthermore, the second electrode is a spherical object. The spherical second electrode has good fluidity and adaptability. Under the push of the elastic element, it can make stable contact with the limiting sealing cover. It can also flexibly adjust its position under external force or equipment vibration to ensure the stability of the electrical connection.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring, with an outer diameter much smaller than the diameters of the first and second electrodes. As the power source driving the first and second electrodes to contact the ends of the electrode housing, the spring's appropriate size design provides stable elastic force within a limited space, ensuring a seal and good electrical contact between the electrodes and the housing, while preventing excessive size from affecting the normal movement of the electrodes.

[0012] Furthermore, an elastic electrode for an atomizer also includes a rubber sleeve that wraps around the outside of the electrode housing. The rubber sleeve has multiple functions: firstly, it acts as insulation, preventing leakage during use and ensuring user safety; secondly, it provides some protection to the electrode housing, preventing corrosion or physical damage from the external environment and extending the electrode's lifespan.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1) Through the umbrella-shaped sealing surface of the first electrode, the cooperation between the second electrode and the electrode housing, and the driving action of the elastic element, a good seal is achieved between the electrode and both ends of the electrode housing. This sealing performance can effectively prevent liquid or gas leakage inside the atomizer, ensuring the working efficiency and stability of the atomizer, extending the service life of the atomizer, and also avoiding the adverse effects that leakage may cause to the surrounding environment and users.

[0015] 2) Under the action of the elastic element, the first and second electrodes can maintain stable contact with the electrode housing, ensuring good electrical connection between the electrodes and between the electrodes and other electrical components even under equipment vibration, external impact, etc. This stable electrical connection is conducive to the stable operation of the atomizer, reduces problems such as poor atomization effect and equipment failure caused by poor contact, and improves the reliability of the atomizer.

[0016] 3) The detachable screw-on design of the electrode housing and the simple and reasonable electrode structure make the electrode assembly process convenient and quick. When the electrode malfunctions or requires component replacement, maintenance personnel can easily disassemble and repair it, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. At the same time, the rubber sleeve design not only facilitates electrode installation but also protects the electrode during daily use, further reducing maintenance workload.

[0017] 4) The insulating effect of the rubber sleeve improves the safety of the electrode during use, avoids the risk of leakage, and ensures the safety of the user. The overall structural design of the electrode allows it to adapt to different working environments and atomizer types, exhibiting strong versatility and adaptability, and providing a reliable electrode solution for the atomizer industry.

Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a front view of the flexible electrode used in the atomizer. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1As shown: A flexible electrode for an atomizer includes a hollow electrode housing 1 with both ends connected to the outside; a first electrode 2 and a second electrode 3 are movably disposed inside the electrode housing 1, and an elastic element 4 drives adjacent first electrodes 2 and second electrodes 3 to abut against both ends of the electrode housing 1 to form a seal.

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, the electrode housing 1 includes a first housing 11; a limiting sealing cover 12 is detachably screwed to one end of the first housing 11. The electrode housing consists of the first housing and the limiting sealing cover, which are connected by a detachable screw connection. This design allows the first electrode, the second electrode, and the elastic element to be easily placed into the first housing during electrode assembly, and then the limiting sealing cover is installed. When maintenance or replacement of internal components (such as electrode wear or elastic element failure) is required, the limiting sealing cover can be easily removed for operation, greatly reducing maintenance costs and difficulty, improving the maintainability of the entire electrode, and reducing equipment downtime due to maintenance difficulties.

[0024] Based on the above embodiments, the hollow first housing 11 is provided with a guide hole 111 adapted to the first electrode 2; the guide hole extends to the inner connection of the first housing 11 and is arranged in a frustum shape;

[0025] A positioning groove 112 is provided on the circumference of the guide hole 111; one end of the first housing 11 is chamfered, and the other end is threaded; the chamfered end of the first housing makes it easier to cooperate with other components when installing the electrode into the atomizer, avoiding obstruction or damage that may be caused by sharp edges. The arc-shaped surface of one end of the limiting sealing cap has a similar effect, reducing damage to surrounding components during installation and making the installation of the entire electrode in the atomizer smoother. The design of the through hole diameter of the limiting sealing cap being much smaller than the diameter of the second electrode not only effectively limits the second electrode, preventing it from coming off the sealing cap side during use, but also, this simple and ingenious structural design ensures functionality without adding excessive complexity, improving the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0026] The limiting sealing cover 12 has a through hole 121; the diameter of the through hole 121 is much smaller than the diameter of the second electrode 3; one end of the limiting sealing cover 12 has an arc surface. The first housing has a guide hole adapted to the first electrode, and the guide hole extends to the inner connection point in a frustum shape, with a positioning groove on the periphery of the guide hole. The frustum shape design can play a good guiding role during the movement of the first electrode, making the movement of the first electrode smoother and more accurate, and reducing friction and wear between the electrode and the housing. The positioning groove ensures that the first electrode can be accurately placed in the predetermined position during initial installation, improving the accuracy of electrode installation, thereby helping to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrode during operation.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, one end of the first electrode 2 is spherical, and the other end is provided with an umbrella-shaped sealing surface 21.

[0028] Based on the above embodiment, the second electrode 3 is provided as a spherical object.

[0029] Based on the above embodiment, the elastic element 4 is a spring; the outer diameter of the spring is much smaller than the diameter of the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3. As an elastic element, the spring's outer diameter is much smaller than the diameters of the first and second electrodes. This dimensional design allows the spring to operate normally within the limited space of the electrode housing, providing stable elastic force to the first and second electrodes. When the electrodes are displaced by external forces, the spring can respond quickly, adjusting the force applied to the electrodes through its own elastic deformation, ensuring that the electrodes always maintain good contact with both ends of the electrode housing, thereby maintaining the stability of the seal and electrical connection. Simultaneously, the appropriate size ratio avoids mutual interference between the spring and the electrodes, ensuring smooth movement of the electrodes within the housing, further improving the reliability and service life of the entire electrode device.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the elastic electrode for the atomizer also includes a rubber sleeve (not shown in the figure); the rubber sleeve wraps around the outside of the electrode housing 1. The rubber sleeve, wrapping around the outside of the electrode housing, primarily serves an insulating function. In atomizers, devices involving electrical energy and liquid / gas environments, electrode insulation is crucial. The rubber sleeve effectively prevents potential leakage between the electrode and the external environment or other components of the atomizer, ensuring user safety and avoiding safety accidents and equipment malfunctions caused by leakage. Secondly, the rubber sleeve provides physical protection for the electrode housing, preventing damage from external physical impacts, chemical corrosion, etc., extending the service life of the electrode housing, thereby improving the overall durability of the elastic electrode, reducing the frequency of electrode replacement, and lowering operating costs.

[0031] In assembly, the first electrode is inserted into the guide hole from the chamfered end of the first housing. The positioning groove on the periphery of the guide hole accurately positions the first electrode, allowing it to move smoothly within the guide hole. Next, a spring is placed inside the first housing, with one end of the spring contacting the first electrode. Then, the second electrode is placed inside the first housing, positioned at the other end of the spring. Next, a limiting sealing cap is screwed onto the threaded end of the first housing. During screwing, ensure the through hole of the limiting sealing cap aligns with the internal structure of the first housing, and use the through hole to limit the second electrode, preventing it from coming out. Finally, a rubber sleeve is wrapped around the outside of the electrode housing, ensuring complete coverage. Care is taken during installation to avoid wrinkles or damage to the sleeve, ensuring its insulation and protective functions. In use, the assembled elastic electrode is installed in the corresponding position on the atomizer. According to the atomizer's design, the electrode is correctly connected to other electrical components and atomizing components. During installation, the arc-shaped surface at one end of the electrode housing and the spherical or rounded design of the first and second electrodes ensure smooth insertion into the installation position, preventing damage to other internal components of the atomizer. Specifically, during atomizer operation, when external force is applied to the electrodes or the electrode position changes due to equipment vibration, the elastic element (spring) automatically adjusts its elastic force according to the electrode movement. For example, when the electrode is subjected to inward pressure, the spring is compressed, and the first and second electrodes maintain tight contact with both ends of the electrode housing under the spring's reaction force, ensuring stable electrical connection. Simultaneously, the umbrella-shaped sealing surface of the first electrode and the tight fit between the second electrode and the electrode housing maintain a good seal under the action of the spring, preventing liquid or gas leakage from the atomizer and ensuring normal atomization.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art should be able to make equivalent embodiments by making some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
