Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerosol technology, and in particular to a connecting device and an aerosol device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol generating devices typically have an aluminum alloy casing, usually formed into a cavity structure through stamping and stretching. This stamping process results in a wood-grain-like surface that is difficult to remove, affecting both the product's appearance and the user's tactile experience. Furthermore, the bottom structure must ultimately be milled into the casing using a CNC machine tool. Manufacturing via stamping and CNC machine tools is costly and inefficient.

[0017] This utility model proposes a connecting device.

[0018] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting device includes a housing 10 and a cover assembly 20. One end of the housing 10 is an open structure 11, and the other end is a closed structure. The cover assembly 20 is used to cover the open structure 11 to seal the housing 10. The cover assembly 20 includes an adhesive 22 and a cover body 21. When the cover assembly 20 covers the open structure 11, one side of the cover body 21 is flush with the edge of the housing 10, and the adhesive 22 is disposed on the other side of the cover body 21. The cover assembly 20 is formed by nano-injection molding, the adhesive 22 is formed on the cover body 21 by nano-injection molding, and the housing 10 is formed by aluminum extrusion.

[0019] In this embodiment, the outer shell 10 is made of aluminum alloy. The outer shell 10 is formed using an aluminum extrusion process, creating a preliminary model structure by extruding aluminum. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The outer shell 10 has an elliptical structure and an internal accommodating space. One end of the bottom surface is an open structure 11 that connects the accommodating space to the external environment. A cover assembly 20 for sealing the accommodating space is provided at the open structure 11.

[0020] The cover assembly 20 is formed using a nano-injection molding process. Specifically, the cover 21, which is the size and fits the opening structure 11, is first formed using an aluminum extrusion process. On the one hand, both the outer shell 10 and the cover 21 are made using an aluminum extrusion process, thereby improving the wood grain problem on the surface of the outer shell 10 and the cover 21, reducing subsequent appearance problems of the outer shell 10, and improving the appearance yield.

[0021] On the other hand, a nano-injection molding process is used on the cover 21 to form a colloid 22. During installation, the colloid 22 is inserted into the outer shell 10. The colloid 22 is used to connect the cover, replacing the original process of CNC machine tools machining screw holes and USB holes 31 on the cover 21. This reduces manufacturing costs and improves production efficiency.

[0022] Before performing nano-injection molding on the cover 21, the bonding area between the outer shell 10 and the colloid 22 needs to be treated with a reagent at the nanoscale before injection molding is performed. This will improve the bonding strength between the colloid 22 and the metal outer shell 10 and enhance the stability of the connection.

[0023] The faceplate assembly 20 is provided with a functional hole 30, which communicates with the interior of the outer casing 10. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2Functional holes 30 are also provided on the cover assembly 20. The functional holes 30 can be formed during the aluminum extrusion process of the cover body 21, and can be, for example, screw holes and USB ports 31. Correspondingly, when the nano-injection molding colloid 22 is applied to the cover body 21, the position of the functional holes 30 is avoided, thereby facilitating the insertion of screws and USB interface components.

[0024] The number of functional holes 30 is multiple, and the multiple functional holes 30 are evenly spaced on the face cover assembly 20.

[0025] The number of functional holes 30 is not limited in this embodiment; there can be one or more. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It has three functional holes 30. The functional hole 30 in the middle is the USB hole 31, and the holes on both sides of the USB hole 31 are threaded holes 32.

[0026] The outer shell 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 12, and a snap-fit ​​groove 23 is provided between the colloid 22 and the cover 21. When the cover 21 covers the open structure 11, the snap-fit ​​member 12 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 23. To further improve the connection strength, during the nano-injection molding process, the shape of the colloid 22 is adjusted to form the snap-fit ​​groove 23 between the colloid 22 and the cover 21. Correspondingly, during the aluminum extrusion process, the shape of the open structure 11 of the outer shell 10 is adjusted to form the snap-fit ​​member 12 on the edge sidewall of the open structure 11. Thus, the snap-fit ​​member 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 23 engage and limit the connection, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0027] The edge of the cover 21 extends from the colloid 22 to form a first flange 211. The end of the colloid 22 away from the cover 21 has a second flange 221, which is parallel to the first flange 211. A snap-fit ​​groove 23 is formed by the first flange 211, the second flange 221, and the sidewall of the colloid 22. The dimensions of the first flange 211 and the second flange 221 are compatible. Specifically, during the nano-injection molding process, after the colloid 22 is formed, a second flange 221 is formed on the side of the colloid 22 away from the cover 21. The area of ​​the other side of the colloid 22 is slightly smaller than the area of ​​the cover 21. The portion of the cover 21 extending from the edge of the colloid 22 serves as the first flange 211, thereby forming the snap-fit ​​groove 23 between the first flange 211, the second flange 221, and the sidewall of the colloid 22.

[0028] The snap-fit ​​component 12 is formed by the side wall of the open structure 11 protruding towards the accommodating space. During assembly, the adhesive 22 is pushed in so that the snap-fit ​​groove 23 aligns with the snap-fit ​​component 12. The first flange 211 and the second flange 221 are the same size, so that both sides of the snap-fit ​​component 12 can be stably connected to the first flange 211 and the second flange 221, ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 Both the nozzle structure and the cap 21 are elliptical, so users will not experience a foreign object feeling when gripping the product due to obvious edges. At the same time, it also improves the product's appearance.

[0030] The edges of the open structure 11 are rounded, and the edges of the face cover assembly 20 are arc-shaped. The outer shell 10 and the face cover assembly 20 are detachably connected.

[0031] This utility model also proposes an aerosol device, which uses the connection device as described above. The specific structure of the connection device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this aerosol 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 described in detail here.

[0032] 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.
