Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] Please see Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic atomizer 1, including a housing 2, an atomizing device 3, and a power supply device 4. The housing 2 includes a main outer shell 22 and a mouthpiece 21 attached to one end of the main outer shell 22. The atomizing device 3 and the power supply device 4 are disposed inside the main outer shell 22. The power supply device 4 includes a battery 41, a bracket 42, and a PCB board 43 arranged sequentially on the side of the atomizing device 3 away from the mouthpiece 21. The PCB board 43 is disposed on the side of the bracket 42 away from the battery 41. The power supply device 4 also includes a hollow tube 44. The bracket 42 has a main air inlet 421, and the PCB board 43 has a through hole 431 corresponding to the main air inlet 421. One end of the tube 44 passes through the main air inlet 421, and the other end passes through the through hole 431.
[0038] Specifically, when the main air intake 421 and the through hole 431 are aligned and connected, an air intake channel is formed between the two holes, allowing air to circulate between the space inside the support 42 and the space outside the PCB board 43.
[0039] Understandably, when the tube 44 is inserted between the main air inlet 421 and the through hole 431, the tube 44 serves to support the air intake channel, enhancing the stability of the bracket 42 and the PCB board 43. This prevents the PCB board 43 from shaking under the external force of repeatedly pressing the switch, which could cause the through hole 431 to shift position and the air intake channel to become blocked. This avoids the problem of users encountering difficulty in inhaling during use and greatly improves the functional stability of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0040] Please see Figures 2-5 Furthermore, a gap 23 is left between the battery 41 and the inner surface of the main body shell 22. A first channel 426 is provided on the side of the bracket 42 away from the PCB board 43, and the main air inlet 421 is opened in the first channel 426. The pipe 44, the first channel 426, and the gap 23 are connected in sequence.
[0041] Understandably, when excess atomizing gas remains in the gap 23, the atomizing gas comes into contact with the inner surface of the main body shell 22, the side of the bracket 42 away from the PCB board 43, and the side of the atomizing device 3 near the battery 41, and condenses and liquefies to form condensate.
[0042] Understandably, the first channel 426 is designed to facilitate the collection of condensate formed after excess gas condensation. Excess condensate generated in the first channel 426 can enter the pipe 44 through the main air inlet 421 and be discharged through the through hole 431. This avoids the condensate from directly contacting the PCB board 43 and affecting the electronic components on the PCB board 43, thus extending the service life of the PCB board 43 and greatly improving the functional stability of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0043] Please see Figures 2-6 Furthermore, the atomizing device 3 also has a second channel 31 on the side near the battery 41; an atomizing channel 32 is opened in the second channel 31, and the atomizing channel 32, the second channel 31, and the gap 23 are connected in sequence.
[0044] Understandably, after the user inhales, the remaining atomized gas is discharged to the gap 23 through the atomization channel 32. Part of the atomized gas in the gap 23 is collected by the first channel 426, and the other part of the atomized gas remains in the space of the main body shell 22 near the atomizing device 3, which can be collected by the second channel 31 to prevent the condensate from flowing back and out of the mouthpiece 21, thereby avoiding the user accidentally inhaling the condensate when inhaling, which would affect the user experience of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0045] Furthermore, the PCB board 43 includes a microphone 432 disposed on one side facing the bracket 42. The bracket 42 has a placement groove 422 corresponding to the microphone 432. The bottom of the placement groove 422 has a microphone vent 423 that communicates with the first channel 426. When the PCB board 43 is connected to the bracket 42, the microphone 432 is placed in the placement groove 422.
[0046] Understandably, the placement slot 422 accommodates and restricts the positional movement of the microphone 432, so that the microphone 432 is as close as possible to and aligned with the microphone vent 423, thus ensuring the stable performance of the microphone 432's detection sensitivity.
[0047] Furthermore, when the microphone vent 423 is located within the first channel 426, the channel distance between the microphone vent 423 and the microphone 432 is shortened. The inhalation signal through the microphone vent 423 can reach the microphone 432 more quickly, thereby reducing the delay time for the microphone 432 to detect the inhalation signal and further improving the detection sensitivity of the microphone 432.
[0048] Understandably, the placement slot 422, which accommodates the microphone 432, also serves to connect the bracket 42 and the PCB board 43, allowing the PCB board 43 to be as close as possible to the bracket 42.
[0049] Furthermore, a wire-passing groove 424 is provided on the side of the bracket 42 away from the PCB board 43, which does not coincide with the position of the first channel 426. A wire-passing hole 425 is provided in the wire-passing groove 424 to pass through the bracket 42.
[0050] Understandably, by setting the wire hole 425 in the wire groove 424, since the opening position of the wire groove 424 does not coincide with the first channel 426, the wire groove 424 is separated from the main air inlet 421 and microphone air inlet 423 set in the first channel 426. This separates the wire hole 425 on the bracket 42 that needs to be connected to an external data cable from the main air inlet 421 and microphone air inlet 423 that do not have external connection function. This reduces the impact of external plugging and unplugging operations on the main air inlet 421 and microphone air inlet 423, thus protecting the structure of the bracket 42 and extending the service life of the bracket 42.
[0051] More specifically, the length of the cable tray 424 can be adaptively adjusted according to the length of the data plug of the external data cable.
[0052] Furthermore, the housing 2 also includes a bottom cover 24 connected to the end of the main housing 22 away from the nozzle 21. An air intake space 244 is left between the bottom cover 24 and the PCB board 43. The bottom cover 24 has at least one vent hole 245 communicating with the air intake space 244. The tube 44 communicates with the air intake space 244.
[0053] Understandably, the bottom cover 24 is placed on the end of the main body shell 22 away from the mouthpiece 21. The bottom cover 24 and the mouthpiece 21 together seal the internal space of the main body shell 22, protect and cover the internal structure, and at the same time improve the internal structural stability and overall aesthetics of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0054] Understandably, the air intake space 244 provides a relatively stable air exchange space, and allows air circulation with the outside through the vent 245 and is connected to the space inside the bracket 42 through the tube 44, thus ensuring the stability of gas exchange between the inside and outside of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom cover 24 has four vent holes 245 that are symmetrically distributed in a square.
[0056] Understandably, since users typically hold the electronic atomizer 1 with one hand, and the grip is usually on the main body shell 22, the bottom cover 24 is rarely held or obstructed during actual use. Therefore, by opening the vent 245 on the bottom cover 24, the accidental obstruction of the vent 245 due to the holding posture during use is reduced, and the situation where the vent 245 is blocked, increasing air resistance and hindering the user's normal inhalation is avoided, thus improving the ease of use of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0057] Furthermore, the PCB board 43 includes a switch button 435 located on the side near the bottom cover 24, and the bottom cover 24 is provided with a switch pressing member 241 corresponding to the switch button 435; when the switch pressing member 241 is pressed, the switch pressing member 241 moves toward the PCB board 43 and presses the switch button 435.
[0058] Understandably, when the user presses the switch button 241 until it abuts the switch button 435, the electronic atomizer 1 controls the start and stop according to the switch status of the PCB board 43, which facilitates the user's switch operation and improves the ease of use of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0059] Understandably, due to the usual way users hold the electronic atomizer 1, by placing the switch button 241 on the bottom cover 24, the user is prevented from accidentally touching the switch button 241 during use, which would cause the electronic atomizer 1 to stop working unexpectedly, thus greatly improving the ease of use of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0060] Please see Figures 1-7 Furthermore, the bottom cover 24 includes a connecting post 242, and a protrusion 243 is provided at one end of the connecting post 242 near the bracket 42; the PCB board 43 has a slot 433 corresponding to the connecting post 242, and the maximum depth of the slot 433 is less than the maximum width of the protrusion 243.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom cover 24 includes two symmetrically distributed connecting posts 242.
[0062] Understandably, when the connecting post 242 passes through the locking groove 433, the protruding part 243 engages with the locking groove 433, improving the connection stability between the bottom cover 24 and the PCB board 43. In addition, when the bottom cover 24 is pulled outward, the engagement between the protruding part 243 and the locking groove 433 causes the PCB board 43 and the bottom cover 24 to move outward together, which facilitates the separation of the connection between the PCB board 43 and the bracket 42, and makes it easier to operate the bracket 42 separately after removing the bottom cover 24 and the PCB board 43, thus improving the usability of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0063] Furthermore, the bracket 42 has a connecting groove 428 corresponding to the convex part 243; when the through hole 431 on the PCB board 43 is penetrated by the tube 44, the PCB board 43 is fixedly connected to the bracket 42, and the connecting groove 428 and the locking groove 433 together form a connecting cavity 434, and the convex part 243 is locked in the connecting cavity 434.
[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket 42 has two connecting grooves 428 corresponding to the two protruding parts 243 of the bottom cover 24. The shape of the connecting groove 428 that coincides with the position of the wire hole 425 is adaptively adjusted according to the specific usage of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0065] Understandably, when the protrusion 243 is engaged in the connecting cavity 434, the bottom cover 24 is engaged with the bracket 42 due to the accommodating relationship of the microphone 432 in the placement groove 422 and the passage of the tube 44. This prevents the bottom cover 24 from accidentally falling off due to shaking during use, thus improving the structural stability of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0066] Furthermore, the bracket 42 includes a washer 427, which is disposed around the bracket 42.
[0067] Understandably, the gasket 427 is arranged around the bracket 42 and seals the gap between the bracket 42 and the main body shell 22, preventing the atomized gas generated by the atomizing device 3 from escaping outward through the gap around the bracket 42, so that the atomized gas can only flow in the direction of the mouthpiece 21, which enhances the ease of use of the electronic atomizer 1; at the same time, the setting of the gasket 427 also prevents the atomized gas from condensing after entering the space where the PCB board 43 is located and generating condensate that would affect the electronic components on the PCB board 43, effectively preventing the PCB board 43 from being damaged and extending the service life of the electronic atomizer 1.
[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
