[0023] Consumer electronic devices, such as aerosol generators, mainly consist of circuit boards, heaters, and batteries. However, in actual use, components like batteries age, requiring users to periodically replace these easily deteriorated parts. Correspondingly, to improve the maintainability of electronic devices, easily deteriorated components like batteries are connected to the circuit board via connectors. During repair or replacement, simply removing the connector from the circuit board is sufficient to remove these components. However, in actual repair and replacement processes, researchers have found that existing connectors are typically fixed in place, using screws to lock a structural component in place to prevent detachment. This necessitates that users or after-sales personnel use appropriate tools to remove the screws from the locking component before they can detach the connector from the circuit board, presenting a significant technical challenge in disassembly.
[0024] This utility model proposes a quick disassembly and assembly mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problem of the difficulty in disassembling existing connection terminals due to their fixed installation.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment of this utility model, the quick-release mechanism includes a bracket 100, a circuit board 200, a fixing plate 300, and a locking component 500. The circuit board 200 and the fixing plate 300 are sequentially arranged on the bracket 100 along the thickness direction of the circuit board 200. The connecting terminal 410 is inserted into the side of the circuit board 200 facing the fixing plate 300. The locking component 500 is rotatably disposed on the fixing plate 300 and has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking component 500 is in the locked position, the locking component 500 abuts against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200. When the locking component 500 is in the unlocked position, the locking component 500 is separated from the connecting terminal 410.
[0026] The technical solution of this utility model provides a rotatable locking component 500 on the fixed plate 300 to lock and unlock the position of the connecting terminal 410. This allows users or maintenance personnel to replace the functional component 400 simply by rotating the locking component 500, reducing the difficulty of disassembling the connecting terminal 410 and consequently reducing the difficulty of replacing functional components such as the battery. In this embodiment, the circuit board 200 and the fixed plate 300 are sequentially arranged on the bracket 100 along the thickness direction of the circuit board 200; that is, the circuit board 200 and the fixed plate 300 are stacked sequentially on the bracket 100. The connecting terminal 410 is connected to external functional components such as the battery 400 via a ribbon cable. The locking assembly 500 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 300 and can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking assembly 500 is in the locked position, it abuts against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200, pressing the connecting terminal 410 and locking its position. When the locking assembly 500 is in the unlocked position, it separates from the connecting terminal 410. At this time, the position lock of the connecting terminal 410 is released, and the user or maintenance personnel can pull the connecting terminal 410 off the circuit board 200 to remove it. Specifically, when it is necessary to replace the battery or other functional components 400, the user or maintenance personnel rotate the locking component 500 to the unlocked position, so that the locking component 500 is separated from the connecting terminal 410. At this time, the user or maintenance personnel can pull the connecting terminal 410 off the circuit board 200 and remove the connecting terminal 410. After the connecting terminal 410 of the new battery or other functional components 400 is inserted into the side of the circuit board 200 facing the fixing plate 300, the user or maintenance personnel rotate the locking component 500 to the locked position, so that the locking component 500 abuts against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200, pressing the connecting terminal 410 and locking the position of the connecting terminal 410. This quick-release mechanism uses a rotatable locking component 500 on the fixed plate 300 to lock and unlock the position of the connection terminal 410. This allows users or maintenance personnel to simply rotate the locking component 500 when replacing functional components 400, such as batteries, without needing to remove the screws from the locking structure using appropriate tools. This reduces the difficulty of installing and removing the connection terminal 410, and consequently, the difficulty of replacing functional components 400 such as batteries. This quick-release mechanism is applicable to electronic devices containing easily aging components, such as aerosol generating devices.
[0027] It should be noted that the functional component 400 is connected to the connecting terminal 410 via a ribbon cable. This connection serves two purposes: it ensures electrical conductivity between the functional component 400 and the connecting terminal 410, and it reduces the need for jumpers, thus simplifying assembly. Furthermore, the locking component 500 can rotate both horizontally and vertically; it only requires that when the locking component 500 is rotated to the unlocked position, the user or maintenance personnel have sufficient space to disconnect the connecting terminal 410.
[0028] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the locking component 500 includes a base plate 510 and an abutment block 520. The base plate 510 is rotatably disposed on the fixing plate 300; the abutment block 520 is disposed on the base plate 510 and can abut against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200. In this embodiment, the abutment block 520 is used to abut against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200, pressing down the connecting terminal 410 and reducing the risk of the connecting terminal 410 falling off. Specifically, when the locking component 500 is rotated to the locked position, the abutment block 520 abuts against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200, pressing down the connecting terminal 410 and locking the position of the connecting terminal 410; when the locking component 500 is rotated to the unlocked position, the abutment block 520 separates from the connecting terminal 410, releasing the position lock of the connecting terminal 410. At this time, the user or maintenance personnel can remove the connecting terminal 410 from the circuit board 200, and then remove the battery and other functional components 400.
[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the substrate 510 includes a first connecting portion 511, an inclined portion 512, and a second connecting portion 513 connected in sequence. The first connecting portion 511 is rotatably disposed on the fixing plate 300, and an abutment block 520 is disposed on the second connecting portion 513. The circuit board 200 is provided with a socket 210 for insertion into the connecting terminal 410. The fixing plate 300 is provided with a notch 310 corresponding to the position of the socket 210. When the locking assembly 500 is in the locked position, the second connecting portion 513 is placed in the notch 310, and the abutment block 520 abuts against the side of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200. When the locking assembly 500 is in the unlocked position, the second connecting portion 513 disengages from the notch 310 and is misaligned with the connecting terminal 410. In this embodiment, the locking assembly 500 rotates in the horizontal plane, that is, when the locking assembly 500 rotates to the unlocked position, the locking assembly 500 is misaligned with the connecting terminal 410. Specifically, by rotating the first connecting part 511, the user or maintenance personnel can drive the second connecting part 513 to rotate, causing the second connecting part 513 to slide into or out of the notch 310 of the fixing plate 300, thereby locking or unlocking the position of the connecting terminal 410. This reduces the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the connecting terminal 410, and thus reduces the difficulty of replacing the functional component 400. At the same time, the above structure also has the characteristics of simple structure, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of this quick disassembly structure. When it is necessary to replace the battery or other functional components 400, the user or maintenance personnel drive the locking component 500 to rotate, causing the second connecting part 513 to disengage from the notch 310. At this time, the second connecting part 513 is misaligned with the connecting terminal 410, that is, the connecting terminal 410 is not pressed by the abutment block 520. The user or maintenance personnel can remove the connecting terminal 410 from the circuit board 200 and then disassemble the functional component 400. After the connecting terminal 410 of the new battery or other functional components 400 is inserted into the circuit board 200, the user or maintenance personnel drive the locking component 500 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the second connecting part 513 to move into the notch 310. At this time, the abutment block 520 provided on the second connecting part 513 abuts against the end face of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200, pressing the connecting terminal 410 and locking the position of the connecting terminal 410. In this embodiment, the substrate 510 has a stepped structure, and the second connecting part 513 is located below the first connecting part 511. The purpose is to enable the second connecting part 513 to rotate into the notch 310, so that the abutting block 520 can abut against the end face of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200.
[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment of this utility model, a positioning block 514 is provided on the substrate 510, and a positioning hole 320 is provided on the fixing plate 300. When the locking component 500 is in the locked position, the positioning block 514 passes through the positioning hole 320. Specifically, when the locking component 500 rotates to the locked position, the positioning block 514 passes through the positioning hole 320, which can position the locking component 500, improve the positional accuracy of the locking component 500, and at the same time, can lock the locking component 500 in the locked position, improving the positional stability of the locking component 500. In this embodiment, the positioning block 514 is provided on one side of the second connecting part 513, and when the positioning block 514 passes through the positioning hole 320, the side of the second connecting part 513 abuts against the inner wall of the notch 310.
[0031] In one specific embodiment, to ensure that the positioning block 514 can better pass over the fixing plate 300 and pass through the positioning hole 320, the two sides of the positioning hole 320 can be designed as arcs or the positioning hole 320 can be designed as an arc block; similarly, to ensure that the abutment block 520 can better climb to the end face of the connection terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200, the two sides of the abutment block 520 can be designed as arcs or the abutment block 520 can be designed as an arc block.
[0032] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the quick-release mechanism further includes a snap-fit component 600; the locking component 500 is snapped onto the fixing plate 300 via the snap-fit component 600 and is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 300. Specifically, the locking component 500 is snapped onto the fixing plate 300 via the snap-fit component 600 and is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 300 via the snap-fit component 600. This has the characteristic of simple structure, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the quick-release mechanism; at the same time, the locking component 500 and the fixing plate 300 are connected by a snap-fit method, so that if the locking component 500 or the fixing plate 300 is damaged, the damaged part can be replaced separately, reducing maintenance costs.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the snap-fit component 600 includes two snap-fit blocks 610 disposed opposite to each other. The fixing plate 300 is provided with snap-fit holes 330, and both snap-fit blocks 610 pass through the snap-fit holes 330. Each snap-fit block 610 has a limiting portion 611 at one end passing through the snap-fit hole 330. Specifically, when installing the locking component 500, simply align the snap-fit component 600 with the snap-fit hole 330 and press the locking component 500 downwards to complete the installation of the locking component 500. The installation process is simple and convenient. Simultaneously, the limiting portion 611 at one end of the snap-fit block 610 passing through the snap-fit hole 330 restricts the position of the snap-fit block 610, preventing it from dislodging from the snap-fit hole 330. In one specific embodiment, in order to ensure that the snap-fit block 610 can be snapped into the snap-fit hole 330 more smoothly, a tapered surface can be provided circumferentially at one end of the snap-fit block 610 that passes through the snap-fit hole 330.
[0034] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to ensure that the snap-fit block 610 and the fixing plate 300 can rotate relative to each other, that is, to ensure that the locking component 500 can rotate, each snap-fit block 610 is provided with an arc-shaped surface 612, and each arc-shaped surface 612 abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit hole 330.
[0035] In addition to being installed on the fixed plate 300 by snap-fit, the locking assembly 500 can also be installed on the fixed plate 300 by riveting. Specifically, the quick-release mechanism also includes a riveting component; the locking assembly 500 is riveted to the fixed plate 300 by the riveting component and is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 300.
[0036] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the locking component 500 is provided with an indicator 530, the direction of which is consistent with the rotation direction of the locking component 500. In this embodiment, the indicator 530 is used to indicate the rotation direction of the locking component 500 to the user or maintenance personnel, which can, to a certain extent, prevent damage to the locking component 500 caused by misoperation by the user or maintenance personnel.
[0037] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing plate 300 is provided with a stepped portion 340, which includes a first connecting plate 341 and a second connecting plate 342. The first connecting plate 341 is connected to the fixing plate 300, and the second connecting plate 342 is connected to the first connecting plate 341. The second connecting plate 342 and the circuit board 200 are bolted to the bracket 100. In this embodiment, the second connecting plate 342 is located below the fixing plate 300, and the first connecting plate 341 extends vertically while the second connecting plate 342 extends horizontally. By providing the stepped portion 340, the height of the fixing plate 300 can be raised so that when the locking assembly 500 rotates to the locked position, the abutment block 520 can abut against the end face of the connecting terminal 410 away from the circuit board 200. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent the fixing plate 300 from squeezing or touching the components provided on the circuit board 200.
[0038] This utility model also proposes an aerosol generating device, which includes the aforementioned quick disassembly and assembly mechanism. The specific structure of the quick disassembly and assembly mechanism is as described in the above embodiments. Since this aerosol generating device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
[0039] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
