[0035] In one embodiment, an electronic aerosol generating device is provided, and the installation of the key of the electronic aerosol generating device is redesigned. The key is installed from the outside to the inside, and the key only needs to be inserted from the outside into the mounting port of the housing to achieve the installation of the key, which is simple and efficient.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The electronic aerosol generating device of the embodiment mainly comprises a shell 1, a circuit board 2, an elastic member 3 and a button 4.
[0037] The shell 1 can be combined by multiple shell bodies, and has a mounting cavity inside. The shell 1 has a mounting opening 11 on one side. The mounting opening 11 can be located on any side of the shell 1. Preferably, the mounting opening 11 is located on the side with smaller width of the shell 1, which is more beautiful and more convenient for users to use. The mounting opening 11 is in communication with the mounting cavity inside the shell 1.
[0038] The shape of the mounting opening 11 is adapted to the shape of the button 4. For example, the mounting opening 11 can be square to correspond to the square button 4. The mounting opening 11 can also be circular or elliptical to correspond to the circular or elliptical button 4.
[0039] The electronic aerosol generating device of the embodiment can be an atomization device or a heat-not-burn device. When the electronic aerosol generating device is an atomization device, an atomization heating assembly is correspondingly arranged inside the shell 1, and a liquid storage cavity is arranged. The liquid storage cavity is used to store e-liquid, and the atomization heating assembly is used to heat the e-liquid to form smoke for smoking. When the electronic aerosol generating device is a heat-not-burn device, a baking heating assembly for heating a cigarette is correspondingly arranged inside the shell 1. The baking heating assembly is used to bake the inserted cigarette to form smoke for smoking.
[0040] In the embodiment, the electronic aerosol generating device is taken as a heat-not-burn device as an example for description. The shell 1 is provided with a heating assembly 5 having a heating cavity 51. The top of the shell 1 is further provided with a plug-in opening in communication with the heating cavity 51. A cigarette can be inserted into the heating cavity 51 from the plug-in opening of the shell 1. The heating assembly 5 can bake the cigarette in the heating cavity 51.
[0041] The circuit board 2 is mounted in the shell 1. The circuit board 2 is electrically connected with the heating body of the heating assembly 5 in the shell 1. The circuit board 2 is used to control the heating of the heating assembly 5.
[0042] The shell 1 can be further provided with a battery 6. The circuit board 2 is electrically connected with the battery 6. The battery 6 provides electric energy for the working of the circuit board 2 and the heating of the heating assembly 5.
[0043] The circuit board 2 is provided with a button switch 21. The button switch 21 is in communication with the circuit on the circuit board 2. The button switch 21 is used to control the heating of the heating assembly 5. The button switch 21 can be a start switch or a power adjustment switch to control the start and stop of the heating of the heating assembly 5 or the adjustment of the heating power.
[0044] The elastic member 3 is installed in the shell 1, which can be an elastic structure of plastic or the like, and is located in the position space between the mounting port 11 of the shell 1 and the circuit board 2. The elastic member 3 is used for mounting the key 4 and triggering the key switch 21 and driving the key 4 to reset.
[0045] The key 4 is movably arranged in the mounting port 11, and part of the key 4 is exposed outside the mounting port 11 to be pressed by the user. Part of the key 4 is located in the mounting port 11 and extends from outside to inside to be fixedly connected with the elastic member 3 in the shell 1. When the user presses the key 4, the key 4 drives the elastic member 3 to deform under the pressing force, and the elastic member 3 is close to and contacts the key switch 21 to trigger the key switch 21. After losing the external force, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the elastic member 3 drives the elastic member 3 to reset and drives the key 4 to reset.
[0046] The key 4 has a relatively simple structure, which includes a key head 41 and a key body 42. The outer diameter of the key head 41 is greater than that of the key body 42. The cross section of the key 4 is T-shaped. The key head 41 is used to be exposed outside the mounting port 11. The key body 42 can be inserted into the shell 1 from the outside of the mounting port 11, and the end of the key body 42 away from the key head 41 is fixedly connected with the elastic member 3. The key 4 with this structure has a flange structure as the key head 41, which can play a role in blocking and limiting, avoiding the key 4 being pressed into the shell 1 as a whole, and the key body 42 is not provided with a limiting structure, so that the key body 42 can be directly inserted into the mounting port 11 from the outside of the shell 1 to realize the installation from outside to inside.
[0047] The outside of the mounting port 11 can be provided with a sunken step 111, which is matched with the key head 41. When the key 4 is pressed, the key head 41 can be sunken into the sunken step 111, which is more beautiful and practical. The sunken step 111 and the key head 41 can also form a limiting structure to avoid the key 4 being pressed into the shell 1 as a whole.
[0048] In this embodiment, one end of the key body 42 of the key 4 can be fixedly connected with the elastic member 3 by double-sided adhesive tape. During installation, the double-sided adhesive tape is adhered to the end surface of the key body 42, and the key 4 is inserted into the mounting port 11 together with the double-sided adhesive tape until the double-sided adhesive tape is adhered to the elastic member 3, and the installation is completed. Of course, other adhesives with adhesive effect can also be used instead of the double-sided adhesive tape to achieve the adhesive fixing of the key 4 and the elastic member 3.
[0049] In other embodiments, the key 4 can also be fixedly connected with the elastic member 3 by clamping, for example, the end of the key body 42 of the key 4 is provided with a one-way connection structure such as a barb, and the elastic member 3 is provided with a corresponding clamping groove. When the key 4 is inserted and installed into the mounting port 11, the barb of the key 4 is clamped with the clamping groove of the elastic member 3 and cannot be separated, and the installation of the key 4 from outside to inside can also be realized.
[0050] In this embodiment, the elastic member 3 can be a plastic or metal component. The elastic member 3 can be deformed, and the elastic force generated after deformation can drive the elastic member 3 to reset.
[0051] The elastic member 3 includes a connecting portion 31, a first elastic arm 32, and a second elastic arm 33. The connecting portion 31 is located at the middle position, and the first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33 are connected to both sides of the connecting portion 31. The connecting portion 31 can be a sheet structure to increase the area of the connecting portion 31. When the key 4 is connected to the elastic member 3, the key 4 can be bonded to the connecting portion 31 with a double-sided adhesive tape to improve the bonding force between the key 4 and the elastic member 3. The connecting portion 31 is located in the position space between the mounting port 11 and the key switch 21. One end of the key 4 is bonded to the connecting portion 31, and the key 4 is used to press and drive the connecting portion 31 to move to trigger the key switch 21.
[0052] In this embodiment, the housing 1 further comprises a mounting bracket 7. One end of the first elastic arm 32 is connected to the connecting portion 31, and the other end of the first elastic arm 32 is connected to the mounting bracket 7. One end of the second elastic arm 33 is connected to the connecting portion 31, and the other end of the second elastic arm 33 is connected to the mounting bracket 7. The first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33 can be deformed and provide elastic force. The arrangement of the two elastic arms can improve the stability of the movement of the key 4.
[0053] In order to improve the deformation stroke of the elastic member 3, one end of the first elastic arm 32 can extend to the side of the connecting portion 31 close to the second elastic arm 33, and one end of the second elastic arm 33 can extend to the side of the connecting portion 31 close to the first elastic arm 32 to increase the length of the first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33, thereby improving the deformation stroke of the elastic member 3 to ensure that the key 4 can drive the elastic member 3 to trigger the key switch 21 after being pressed.
[0054] In other embodiments, the elastic member 3 can also be provided as a single-arm structure, and the elastic member 3 includes one of the first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33. The deformation of the elastic member 3 can also trigger the key switch 21 and drive the key 4 to reset.
[0055] In other embodiments, the elastic member 3 can be provided with a hollow structure, and one end of the key 4 passes through the elastic member 3. One end of the key 4 can directly move to contact the key switch 21 to trigger the key switch 21.
[0056] In this embodiment, the elastic member 3 can be an integrated structure. The integrated elastic member 3 has stronger stability and can avoid failure of the connection during pressing.
[0057] The elastic member 3 and the mounting bracket 7 can also be provided as an integrated structure to further improve the stability of the elastic member 3.
[0058] In this embodiment, the circuit board 2 is arranged in parallel with the connecting portion 31 of the elastic member 3, and the circuit board 2 is arranged in parallel with the side surface of the shell 1, so that the occupied space in the shell 1 can be optimized, and the pressing direction of the key 4 is perpendicular to the circuit board 2, so that the accuracy of triggering the key switch 21 can be ensured.
[0059] In this embodiment, in the default state, the connecting portion 31 of the elastic member 3 is spaced apart from the key switch 21 in parallel, when the user presses the key 4, the key 4 moves along the opening of the mounting port 11 towards the inside, the key 4 drives the connecting portion 31 to move inwardly to contact the key switch 21, so as to trigger the key switch 21 and realize the control key operation, at this time, the first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33 of the elastic member 3 are in a deformed state; when the pressing force is lost, the first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33 drive the connecting portion 31 and the key 4 to move outwardly at the same time to reset, so as to be separated from the key switch 21; or, the connecting portion 31 is still in contact with the key switch 21, but no pressure is applied to the key switch 21.
[0060] In this embodiment, since the key 4 is arranged to be installed from the outside of the shell 1 to the inside, when the electronic aerosol generating device is assembled, the key 4 does not need to be installed from the inside to the outside at the mounting port 11 of the shell 1, the key 4 can be directly installed from the outside to the inside at the mounting port 11 of the shell 1 in any assembly step, the key 4 installation step is simple, the installation efficiency is high, and the assembly of other components in the shell is not affected.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment, one end of the elastic member 3 facing the key switch 21 is provided with a protruding trigger portion 34, the trigger portion 34 is located on the surface of the connecting portion 31 facing the key switch 21, and the trigger portion 34 is used to contact the key switch 21 and trigger the key switch 21. The arrangement of the protruding trigger portion 34 can reduce the moving stroke of the key 4, and the key 4 can move a small distance to trigger the key switch 21, so that better use experience can be obtained. In addition, the trigger portion 34 can be a cylinder or a cylindrical structure, which can more accurately extrude and contact the key switch 21, and the accuracy of triggering the key switch 21 can be improved.
[0062] The trigger portion 34 can be an integrated structure with the connecting portion 31, or the trigger portion 34 can be fixed on the connecting portion 31 by screw connection, welding, clamping or the like.
[0063] The above application of specific examples is used to describe the utility model, which is only used to help understand the utility model, and does not limit the utility model. According to the idea of the utility model, those skilled in the art of the utility model can make some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions.
