[0021] This utility model proposes a quick-release structure 100.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the quick-release structure 100 includes a housing 1, a main support 2, an elastic buckle 3, and a button 4. The housing 1 has a receiving groove 11, and the side wall of the receiving groove 11 has a slot 12. The main support 2 is accommodated in the receiving groove 11. The elastic buckle 3 has a connecting part 31 and a buckling part 32 connected to each other. The connecting part 31 is connected to the main support 2, and the buckling part 32 is engaged in the slot 12. The button 4 passes through the housing 1 and elastically abuts against the buckling part 32. The button 4 is configured to press the buckling part 32 to disengage the buckling part 32 from the slot 12.
[0023] In this utility model, the main support 2 is placed into the receiving groove 11 of the outer shell 1, the connecting part 31 of the elastic buckle 3 is connected to the main support 2, and the buckling part 32 of the elastic buckle 3 is inserted into the slot 12 of the outer shell 1, thus completing the fixed connection between the main support 2 and the outer shell 1; pressing the button 4 presses the buckling part 32 of the elastic buckle 3, causing the buckling part 32 to disengage from the slot 12, and the main support 2 is removed, thus completing the quick disassembly of the outer shell 1 and the main support 2; with this structure, users can easily replace vulnerable parts such as batteries without professional tools and skills, greatly reducing the maintenance time and cost of the device.
[0024] The outer casing 1 has an internal groove 11 for accommodating the main support 2. The shape of the groove 11 matches the main support 2, ensuring that the main support 2 can be stably installed inside the outer casing 1. The side wall of the groove 11 has a slot 12 for engaging with the snap-fit part 32 of the elastic buckle 3 to connect and fix the main support 2 and the outer casing 1. The main support 2 supports and fixes the internal components of the device, such as the battery and atomizing core. One end of the elastic buckle 3 is connected to the connecting part 31 of the main support 2, ensuring that the elastic buckle 3 can be stably fixed on the main support 2. The other end of the elastic buckle 3 is the snap-fit part 3. 2. The latching part 32 is engaged in the slot 12 of the outer shell 1 to achieve a fixed connection between the main support 2 and the outer shell 1. The elastic latch 3 is made of elastic material and can undergo elastic deformation under the pressure of the button 4, causing the latching part 32 to detach from the slot 12. The button 4 is the force-applying component of the quick-release structure 100. By pressing the button 4, the user presses the latching part 32 of the elastic latch 3, thereby causing the latching part 32 to detach from the slot 12, achieving quick disassembly of the main support 2 and the outer shell 1. The latching part 32 and the button 4 can be provided as one or two, and this utility model does not limit this.
[0025] Further, please refer to Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, two slots 12 are provided on opposite side walls of the receiving groove 11, the elastic buckle 3 has two buckling parts 32, and the quick-release structure 100 includes two buttons 4. Each buckling part 32 is engaged in one slot 12, and each button 4 passes through one side wall of the outer casing 1 and abuts against one buckling part 32. By providing two slots 12 on each side wall of the receiving groove 11 and engaging one buckling part 32 in each slot 12, the connection between the main support 2 and the outer casing 1 is more secure. This double fixing method can effectively prevent the main support 2 from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the device. Two latching parts 32 are located on both sides of the main support 2, making the main support 2 more evenly stressed during installation and use, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by single-point stress. The two latching parts 32 and two buttons 4 ensure that even if one latching part 32 or button 4 malfunctions, the other can still function normally, thus improving the reliability of the entire quick-release structure 100. This redundant design effectively reduces the risk of the device failing to disassemble properly due to a single-point failure. During disassembly, both buttons 4 must be pressed simultaneously to disengage the latching part 32 from the slot 12. This design prevents accidental disassembly due to misoperation, enhancing the safety and reliability of the device. With the two buttons 4, users can easily and quickly disassemble the main support 2 from the outer shell 1 without the need for professional tools or complex operating procedures. This design greatly improves the convenience of replacing easily damaged parts such as batteries, saving maintenance time and costs. The symmetrical layout of the two latching parts 32 and two buttons 4 makes the entire quick-release structure 100 more aesthetically pleasing and easier for users to operate, improving the user experience.
[0026] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the buckle portion 32 has a first inclined section 321, a bent section 322 and a second inclined section 323 connected to each other. The button 4 elastically abuts against the first inclined section 321, and the second inclined section 323 is engaged in the slot 12. The first inclined section 321 elastically abuts against the button 4. This design allows the button 4 to smoothly press the elastic buckle 3 while providing sufficient elastic restoring force to ensure the sensitivity and reliability of the button 4 operation. The design of the bending section 322 increases the structural strength of the buckle 32, enabling it to withstand greater force during elastic deformation without permanent deformation. The bending section 322 also acts as a buffer when the elastic buckle 3 deforms, preventing damage due to excessive deformation during frequent use. The second inclined section 323 is engaged in the slot 12 of the outer shell 1, achieving a fixed connection between the main support 2 and the outer shell 1. This ensures the stability of the main support 2 during use and prevents it from loosening or shifting. The tilt angle design of the second inclined section 323 allows the elastic buckle 3 to smoothly deform when the button 4 presses the first inclined section 321, causing the second inclined section 323 to detach from the slot 12, thus achieving quick disassembly.
[0027] To provide deformation space for the snap-fit part 32, please refer to... Figure 2 In one embodiment, a space is formed between the latching part 32 and the main support 2. This space provides sufficient room for the deformation of the elastic latch 3. When the button 4 presses the first inclined section 321, the elastic latch 3 can freely deform elastically without being obstructed by the main support 2, thus ensuring that the latching part 32 can smoothly separate from the slot 12. The existence of the space reduces direct contact between the elastic latch 3 and the main support 2, reducing friction and wear, and extending the service life of the elastic latch 3. Because the elastic latch 3 can deform freely within the space, the operation of the button 4 is more sensitive, allowing users to more easily complete the disassembly operation and improving the user experience.
[0028] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2In one embodiment, the outer casing 1 has a mounting hole 13, and the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 13 forms a limiting step 14. The button 4 has a mounting part 41 and a pressing part 42. The mounting part 41 abuts against the limiting step 14 for limiting, and the pressing part 42 elastically abuts against the snap-fit part 32. The limiting step 14 formed on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 13, and the mounting part 41 of the button 4 abuts against the limiting step 14 in the mounting hole 13 of the outer casing 1, ensures that the button 4 is stably fixed in the mounting hole 13 and will not loosen or shift. This design improves the installation reliability of the button 4 and avoids misoperation caused by the loosening of the button 4. The pressing part 42 of the button 4 elastically abuts against the first inclined section 321 of the elastic snap-fit 3, providing a good operating feel and elastic recovery force. The design of the pressing part 42 allows the user to easily press the button 4 to complete the disassembly operation.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the quick-release structure 100 includes a fastener 5, which passes through the connecting portion 31 to connect the elastic buckle 3 to the main support 2. The fastener 5, by passing through the connecting portion 31 of the elastic buckle 3, firmly fixes the elastic buckle 3 to the main support 2. This design ensures that the elastic buckle 3 will not loosen or fall off during use, improving the stability and reliability of the entire quick-release structure 100. The use of the fastener 5 enhances the connection strength between the elastic buckle 3 and the main support 2, enabling it to withstand greater external forces and extending the service life of the quick-release structure 100. In another embodiment, to create a gap between the buckle portion 32 and the main support 2, a connecting post is provided on the main support 2. The fastener 5 passes through the connecting post so that both the connecting portion 31 and the buckle portion 32 form a certain gap with the main support 2.
[0030] For easy disassembly of housing 1, please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the quick-release structure 100 includes an elastic element 6, which is connected to the connecting portion 31 and elastically abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11. During disassembly, the elastic element 6 uses its elastic force to spring the outer shell 1 a short distance away, reducing the force required by the user during disassembly, making the disassembly process easier and improving the user experience; the buffering effect of the elastic element 6 can reduce the direct collision between the outer shell 1 and the main support 2, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the device; the elastic element 6 can be elastic soft rubber or a spring, and this utility model does not limit it in this regard.
[0031] For easy installation of the main support bracket 2 and the outer casing 1, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, a positioning block 21 is formed on one side wall of the main support 2, and the positioning block 21 has a positioning groove 22. The connecting part 31 is sleeved on the positioning block 21, and a positioning post 15 is formed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11. The positioning post 15 is confined within the positioning groove 22. The positioning groove 22 on the positioning block 21 of the main support 2 cooperates with the positioning post 15 of the outer shell 1 to ensure that the main support 2 can be quickly and accurately aligned during installation. This design greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces installation time and difficulty, and improves the user experience. The positioning structure can ensure the precise alignment between the main support 2 and the outer shell 1, avoid structural instability or functional abnormality caused by installation deviation, and improve the reliability and stability of the entire device.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the main support 2 includes a cover 23 and a frame 24 connected together. The frame 24 is housed within the receiving groove 11, and the cover 23 covers the opening of the receiving groove 11. The connecting part 31 is connected to the frame 24. The frame 24 is the main load-bearing part of the main support 2, used to support and fix the internal components of the device, such as the battery and atomizing core. The shape of the frame 24 matches the receiving groove 11 of the outer shell 1, ensuring that it can be stably installed inside the outer shell 1. The cover 23 is connected to the frame 24 and is used to cover the opening of the receiving groove 11, serving to protect the internal components and for aesthetic purposes. The cover 23 and the frame 24 can be connected by integral molding or separate assembly.
