[0027] The existing product atomization device needs to use a magnet attraction structure to fix the suction, which causes unstable suction, poor conductive contact and other problems. In the present application, a locking and unlocking mechanism is provided between the first shell and the second shell, and the locking and unlocking of the first shell and the second shell is controlled by operating the locking and unlocking mechanism, thereby avoiding the defects of the magnet attraction structure in the related art, and having the advantages of reliable connection, stability and convenient use.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-7 In an embodiment, a shell assembly is provided, which can be used in an atomization device. The shell assembly can include a first shell 11, a second shell 12, a toggle piece 13 and a locking and unlocking mechanism 14.

[0029] The toggle piece 13 includes an operating portion 131 and an extending portion 132. The operating portion 131 is exposed outside the first shell 11, so that the user can operate the operating portion 131 to drive the entire toggle piece 13 to move. The extending portion 132 extends from the operating portion 131 to the inside of the first shell 11 and extends into the first shell 11 to cooperate with the second shell 12. Correspondingly, the second shell 12 is provided with a first connecting portion 121 corresponding to the extending portion 132. The locking and unlocking mechanism 14 is arranged at a position corresponding to the extending portion 132 and the first connecting portion 121, so as to lock and unlock the two.

[0030] The locking and unlocking mechanism 14 includes a latch 141 and a first lock hole 142 arranged separately on the extending portion 132 and the first connecting portion 121. The latch 141 and the first lock hole 142 cooperate to form a latching or unlocking state.

[0031] The user can operate the operating portion 131 of the toggle piece 13 to drive the toggle piece 13 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position of the first shell 11, drive the latch 141 to insert into the first lock hole 142 to form a latching, or drive the latch 141 to move out of the first lock hole 142 to form an unlocking.

[0032] The application utilizes the locking or unlocking of the latch bolt 141 and the first lock hole 142 to realize the locking or unlocking of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, avoids the defects of using the magnet attraction structure in the related art, and has the advantages of reliable connection, stability, convenient use and the like.

[0033] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , 3 The latch bolt 141 is arranged at the lower part of the extending part 132 and extends towards the first connecting part 121. The first lock hole 142 is arranged on the first connecting part 121 and corresponds to the position of the latch bolt 141. When the moving knob 13 is moved, the latch bolt 141 can be inserted into the first lock hole 142 to form the locking, as shown in Figure 4 , or the latch bolt 141 can be withdrawn from the first lock hole 142 to form the unlocking, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0034] It can be understood that the shape of the latch bolt 141 and the shape of the first lock hole 142 can be designed as required. In some embodiments, the free end of the latch bolt 141 can be provided with a guide slope, so that the latch bolt 141 can be guided when moving relative to the first lock hole 142, so that the latch bolt 141 can be more easily inserted into the first lock hole 142. The inclination direction of the guide slope is gradually reduced towards the free end of the latch bolt 141 in the movement direction.

[0035] In an embodiment, the first shell 11 further comprises a second connecting part 111. The second connecting part 111 extends towards the inside of the first shell 11 and corresponds to the position of the first connecting part 121.

[0036] The second connecting part 111 is provided with a second lock hole 143 corresponding to the first lock hole 142. When the knob 13 is in the locking position, the latch bolt 141 can be inserted into the first lock hole 142 and the second lock hole 143 at the same time, so that the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be better locked.

[0037] In an embodiment, the second connecting part 111 is a cylinder extending towards the second shell 12 inside the first shell 11. The cylindrical second connecting part 111 can be more conducive to the production and manufacture of the first shell 11, and can facilitate the positioning and assembly with the second shell 12.

[0038] In an embodiment, the second shell 12 comprises a support 122 and a connecting piece 123 fixedly arranged on the support 122. The first connecting part 121 is arranged at one end of the connecting piece 123 close to the first shell 11.

[0039] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both cylindrical. The support 122 is arranged at the middle position of the second shell 12. Correspondingly, the connecting piece 123 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support 122, and cooperates with the second connecting part 111 of the first shell 11, and then the two are locked by the locking and unlocking mechanism 14. It can be understood that the shapes of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be cuboids or other shapes according to needs; correspondingly, the position of the support 122 can be set according to needs, and the positions of the connecting piece 123, the second connecting part 111 and the locking and unlocking mechanism 14 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second shell 12 further comprises a cylindrical second outer shell 124. An upper-end-opened accommodating cavity is formed between the second outer shell 124 and the support 122, which can be used to accommodate the atomization assembly 18. Correspondingly, the first shell 11 can be capped at the upper end of the second outer shell 124. When it is necessary to replace the atomization assembly 18 in the accommodating cavity, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be unlocked by operating the locking and unlocking mechanism 14, and the first shell 11 is removed, so that the atomization assembly 18 can be operated to realize the replacement operation. After the replacement is completed, the first shell 11 is covered at the upper end of the second shell 12, and the locking and unlocking mechanism 14 is operated to lock the first shell 11 and the second shell 12.

[0041] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 The first connecting part 121 is a hollow cylinder, and the second connecting part 111 is inserted therein. In order to prevent the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 111 from rotating relative to each other, a rotation locking mechanism 15 can also be arranged between the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 111, so as to ensure that the positions of the two are relatively fixed.

[0042] In an embodiment, the rotation locking mechanism 15 comprises a positioning notch 151 arranged at the upper end of the connecting piece 123, and a positioning bone 152 arranged on the inner side of the first shell 11 and corresponding to the positioning notch 151. After assembly, the positioning bone 152 is clamped into the positioning notch 151, so as to position the first shell 11 and the connecting piece 123 in the circumferential direction, preventing the two from rotating relative to each other. At the same time, the connecting piece 123 is fixed in the second shell 12, so as to ensure that the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 cannot rotate relative to each other, thereby ensuring that the position of the suction nozzle 113 of the first shell 11 cannot rotate relative to the second shell 12.

[0043] In particular, when the second shell 12 comprises a plurality of accommodating cavities, and the plurality of accommodating cavities can rotate relative to each other to switch different flavors of atomization medium, the suction nozzle 113 can always remain in one position, so that the flavor can be switched by rotating the accommodating cavity, facilitating the operation of the user.

[0044] In an embodiment, a first shell 11 can further be provided with a clearance hole 112. The extension 132 of the actuator 13 can pass through the clearance hole 112, and the clearance hole 112 can be cleared when the extension 132 moves, so as to ensure smooth movement of the actuator 13.

[0045] In some embodiments, the extension 132 is provided with a barb 133 on both sides, which is buckled on the inner side edge of the clearance hole 112. Through the provision of the barb 133, the actuator 13 can be buckled on the first shell 11 to prevent it from falling out, and the side walls of the barbs 133 on both sides can be in contact with the side walls of the clearance hole 112, thereby playing a guiding role, so that the actuator 13 can move smoothly in the length direction of the clearance hole 112, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the unlocking and locking operation.

[0046] In some embodiments, the bracket 122 includes a cylindrical mounting portion 1221, and the connecting member 123 includes a sleeve portion 1231 that is sleeved on the periphery of the mounting portion 1221. The mounting portion 1221 and the sleeve portion 1231 can jointly constitute a rotation axis. A fastener 16 is arranged between the mounting portion 1221 and the sleeve portion 1231 to fix the connecting member 123 to the bracket 122. In some embodiments, a resilient member 17 can be further arranged on the periphery of the bracket 122. The two ends of the resilient member 17 can be in contact with the lower end of the connecting member 123 and the top surface of the positioning ring 222 of the rotating bin 22, respectively, to provide a pre-tightening force for the rotating bin 22. In some embodiments, a protruding point structure can be arranged on the bottom surface of the positioning ring 222 and the corresponding position of the bracket 122. Under the cooperation of the pre-tightening force provided by the resilient member 17, a hand feeling and a sound can be provided when the rotating bin 22 rotates, so as to enable the user to more accurately rotate the rotating bin 22 to a suitable position.

[0047] In an embodiment, the present application further discloses an atomization device, which comprises a shell assembly, an atomization assembly 18 arranged in the shell assembly, and a power supply assembly 19 for supplying power to the atomization assembly 18. The shell assembly can be any of the shell assemblies described above.

[0048] When the atomization device is in operation, the power supply assembly 19 supplies power to the atomization assembly 18, and the atomization assembly 18 heats the atomization medium to generate aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0049] In an embodiment, the atomization assembly 18 comprises an atomization channel. The first shell 11 of the shell assembly is further provided with a suction nozzle 113 that is in communication with the atomization channel. The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are further provided with a sealing member 21, and the sealing member 21 is provided with a through hole 211 that is in communication with the atomization channel and the suction nozzle 113.

[0050] When the user inhales, the aerosol generated by the atomization assembly 18 passes through the through hole 211 in the atomization channel and enters the suction nozzle 113.

[0051] In some embodiments, the atomization assembly 18 is detachably arranged in the second shell 12 of the shell assembly.

[0052] When the atomization assembly 18 needs to be replaced, the plug 141 of the locking unlocking mechanism 14 and the first lock hole 142 are relatively moved by operating the pusher 13, and the unlocking is completed when the plug 141 is completely withdrawn from the first lock hole 142. At this time, the first shell 11 can be removed to expose the atomization assembly 18, which can be replaced by the user.

[0053] After the replacement is completed, the first shell 11 is covered on the second shell 12, and the plug 141 and the first lock hole 142 are relatively moved by reversing the operation of the pusher 13, and the locking is completed when the plug 141 is completely inserted into the first lock hole 142. At this time, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are locked and cannot be removed. The present application avoids the defects of unstable attraction, poor electric contact and the like caused by the magnet attraction structure in the related art, and has the advantages of reliable connection, stability and convenient use.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second shell 12 includes a cylindrical second shell 124 and a rotating bin 22 rotatably arranged in the second shell 124. The rotating bin 22 is provided with an axle hole, and the rotating shaft formed by the support 122 and the connecting piece 123 can be inserted into the axle hole, so that the rotating bin 22 can rotate relative to the second shell 124. At the same time, the rotating bin 22 can include a plurality of atomization bins 221 for respectively accommodating a plurality of atomization assemblies 18. When it is necessary to switch the atomization assembly 18, the rotating bin 22 can be rotated to align different atomization assemblies 18 with the position of the suction nozzle 113, so as to realize the switching of the atomization assembly 18. It can be understood that the atomization assemblies 18 can be of the same taste or different tastes.

[0055] In some embodiments, the rotating bin 22 can also be provided with a positioning ring 222 extending towards the axle hole. The elastic member 17 can be in contact with the lower end of the connecting piece 123 and the top surface of the positioning ring 222 of the rotating bin 22 at both ends, so as to provide a pre-tightening force for the rotating bin 22. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the positioning ring 222 and the corresponding position of the support 122 can be provided with matching convex point structures, which can provide a hand feeling and a sound when the rotating bin 22 is rotated under the cooperation of the pre-tightening force provided by the elastic member 17, so as to facilitate the user to rotate the rotating bin 22 to the appropriate position more accurately.

[0056] It can be understood that the atomization device can also include a control circuit and the like, which will not be described here.
