[0025] Electronic devices are devices that process, transmit, store, and control signals based on electronic principles, using electronic components (such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and semiconductor devices) and circuits. In actual production processes, researchers have found that traditional electronic devices can still operate when powered on, even if the assembly is incomplete—that is, without the casing on the bottom cover. However, incompletely assembled electronic devices, lacking the protection of the casing, are highly susceptible to damage from impacts or external substances (water, metal particles) when powered on. Furthermore, incompletely assembled devices greatly increase the risk of operators accidentally touching the powered-on motherboard during assembly or disassembly, endangering their safety.

[0026] This utility model proposes an assembly protection device, which aims to solve the technical problem that electronic equipment is easily damaged during assembly, and may even endanger the safety of operators.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the assembly protection device includes a housing 100, a main board 200, and a shorting connector 300. The housing 100 includes a bottom cover 110 and a cover 120. The cover 120 is disposed on the bottom cover 110 and surrounds the bottom cover 110 to form a receiving cavity. The main board 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity and is provided with a start control circuit. The start control circuit is provided with a controller. The shorting connector 300 is connected in series with the controller. The shorting connector 300 has an open state that cuts off the start control circuit and a short-circuit state that connects the start control circuit. When the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, the cover 120 and the shorting connector 300 partially abut against each other, and drive the shorting connector 300 to switch from the open state to the short-circuit state to connect the start control circuit.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model, by setting a shorting member 300 for connecting or disconnecting the start-up control circuit, and by the action of the cover 120 being installed onto the bottom cover 110, drives the shorting member 300 to connect the start-up control circuit, thus ensuring that the electronic device can only be started after complete assembly, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the electronic device and ensuring operator safety. In this embodiment, the bottom cover 110 and the cover 120 are assembled into a housing 100, which encloses a cavity for accommodating the motherboard 200 and other electronic components. The start-up control circuit is a circuit used to control the start-up of the electronic device; only when the start-up control circuit is connected can the controller receive the start signal and control the electronic device to start. The shorting connector 300 is connected in series with the controller and is used to disconnect or connect the start control circuit. The shorting connector 300 has an open state and a shorted state. When the shorting connector 300 is in the open state, it disconnects the start control circuit, preventing the controller from receiving the start signal and controlling the electronic device to start. When the shorting connector 300 is in the shorted state, it connects the start control circuit, allowing the controller to receive the start signal and control the electronic device to start. When the housing 120 is installed onto the bottom cover 110, the housing 120 partially abuts against the shorting connector 300, driving the shorting connector 300 to switch from the open state to the shorted state, connecting the start control circuit. At this time, the controller can receive the start signal and control the electronic device to operate. When the housing 120 is removed from the bottom cover 110, the shorting connector 300 switches from the shorted state to the open state, disconnecting the start control circuit. At this time, the controller cannot receive the start signal and control the electronic device to operate. This assembly protection device, by incorporating a shorting element 300 for connecting or disconnecting the start-up control circuit, ensures that the electronic device can only activate the start-up control circuit and send a start signal to the controller to control its operation when the housing 120 is installed onto the bottom cover 110, i.e., when the electronic device is fully assembled. This assembly protection device prevents the motherboard 200 from being exposed to the outside environment when powered on, reducing the possibility of damage to the motherboard 200 due to impacts or external substances (water, metal particles) while powered on. It also reduces the likelihood of the operator accidentally touching the powered motherboard 200 during assembly or disassembly, ensuring operator safety. This assembly protection device can be applied in the field of electronic equipment technology, such as heated non-combustible smoke appliances.

[0029] It should be noted that the electronic device also has an internal power supply circuit to provide power to the device, and a start-up control circuit to control the start-up of the electronic device. The controller is connected to the power supply circuit to control the start-up of the electronic device and to the start-up control circuit to receive the start-up signal. The controller can only receive the start-up signal and control the electronic device to start when the start-up control circuit is connected. This assembly protection device, by setting a shorting piece 300 for connecting or disconnecting the start-up control circuit, and by the action of the cover 120 being installed on the bottom cover 110, drives the shorting piece 300 to connect the start-up control circuit, thus ensuring that the electronic device can only be started after complete assembly, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the electronic device and ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0030] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the start control circuit includes a first conductive plate and a second conductive plate spaced apart on the main board 200, and a shorting member 300 is a spring contact 310. The spring contact 310 is disposed on the first conductive plate and can abut against the second conductive plate. When the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, the cover 120 abuts against the spring contact 310, and drives the spring contact 310 to abut against the second conductive plate, thereby connecting the start control circuit. In this embodiment, by setting the shorting member 300 as a spring contact 310, the operator can switch the state of the shorting member 300 simply by installing or removing the machine, thereby cutting off or connecting the start control circuit, which reduces the difficulty of switching the state of the shorting member 300. Specifically, when the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, the cover 120 partially abuts against the shorting member 300, driving the shorting member 300 to undergo elastic deformation and abut against the second conductive plate, that is, driving the shorting member 300 to switch from the open state to the shorted state, thus connecting the start control circuit; when the cover 120 is removed from the bottom cover 110, the shorting member 300 will automatically separate from the second conductive plate under its own rebound force, switching from the shorted state to the open state, thus cutting off the start control circuit. In a specific embodiment, both the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate can be solder pads.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the spring 310 includes a mounting plate 311, a first elastic plate 312, and a second elastic plate 313 connected in sequence. The mounting plate 311 is disposed on a first conductive plate. The first elastic plate 312 is inclined from the side closer to the main board 200 to the side farther away from the main board 200, and the second elastic plate 313 is inclined from the side farther away from the main board 200 to the side closer to the main board 200. The side of the second elastic plate 313 opposite to the first elastic plate 312 can abut against the second conductive plate to conduct the start-up control circuit. In this embodiment, the spring 310 is designed with a near-inverted V-shaped structure, which ensures that the spring 310 abuts against the second conductive plate when the cover 120 is installed to the bottom cover 110. Figure 4Taking the perspective of [example needed] as an example, specifically, when the cover 120 is installed onto the bottom cover 110, the cover 120 abuts against the first elastic plate 312 and drives the first elastic plate 312 to rotate clockwise. Since the cover 120 is basically installed on the bottom cover 110 when it abuts against the first elastic plate 312, the distance that the cover 120 can move is limited. Therefore, the angle at which the cover 120 drives the first elastic plate 312 to rotate is insufficient to make the first elastic plate 312 abut against the second conductive plate. However, by providing a second elastic plate 313 inclined from the side away from the main board 200 to the side closer to the main board 200 on the side of the first elastic plate 312 away from the mounting plate 311, it can be ensured that the spring piece 310 abuts against the second conductive plate when the cover 120 is installed onto the bottom cover 110. In a specific embodiment, the spring piece 310 is an integrally formed structure.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate 311 is provided with a plurality of claws 3111, and the main board 200 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 210 corresponding to the position of the first conductive plate. The plurality of claws 3111 are correspondingly disposed in the plurality of positioning holes 210. In this embodiment, by correspondingly distributing the plurality of claws 3111 in the plurality of positioning holes 210, the spring piece 310 can be positioned to ensure the accuracy of its installation position, and the spring piece 310 can be limited to ensure its stable position. In a specific embodiment, there are three claws 3111 and three positioning holes 210, with the three claws 3111 correspondingly disposed in the three positioning holes 210, and the three claws 3111 are distributed in a triangular pattern. In addition, the number of claws 3111 and positioning holes 210 can also be two, four, five, etc.

[0033] Please see Figure 4In one embodiment of this utility model, a bending plate 3131 is provided on the side of the second elastic plate 313 away from the first elastic plate 312. The bending plate 3131 bends upward from the side of the second elastic plate 313 away from the first elastic plate 312 in a direction away from the main board 200, and an arc-shaped surface that can abut against the second conductive plate is provided at the connection between the bending plate 3131 and the second elastic plate 313. In this embodiment, by providing the bending plate 3131 and the arc-shaped surface at the connection between the bending plate 3131 and the second elastic plate 313, the assembly process can be made smoother and the risk of jamming can be reduced. Specifically, when the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, the second elastic plate 313 will abut against the second conductive plate. As the assembly process continues, the cover 120 will drive the second elastic plate 313 to slide on the second conductive plate. At this time, by abutting against the second conductive plate with the arc-shaped surface provided at the connection between the bending plate 3131 and the second elastic plate 313, the second elastic plate 313 can slide more smoothly on the second conductive plate.

[0034] Please see Figure 5 In another embodiment of this utility model, the start control circuit includes two conductive plates spaced apart on the main board 200, and the shorting member 300 includes two spring contacts 310 spaced apart, with each spring contact 310 corresponding to one of the two conductive plates. The cover 120 is a conductive component. When the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, both spring contacts 310 abut against the cover 120, and the start control circuit is connected through the cover 120. In this embodiment, the cover 120 is made of a conductive metal material, and the shorting member 300 consists of two spring contacts 310 spaced apart. When installing or disassembling the machine, the operator only needs to install the cover 120 onto the bottom cover 110 to make the cover 120 abut against the two spring contacts 310, switching the state of the shorting member 300, thereby cutting off or connecting the start control circuit. Specifically, when the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, both spring contacts 310 abut against the cover 120, thereby enabling the two spring contacts 310 to conduct the start control circuit through the cover. When the cover 120 is removed from the bottom cover 110, both spring contacts 310 separate from the cover 120, thus cutting off the start control circuit. In another embodiment of this utility model, in addition to conducting the start control circuit through the cover 120 made of a metal conductive material, the two spring contacts 310 can also conduct the start control circuit by providing a conductive plate at the position of the cover 120 corresponding to the shorting member 300. When the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, both spring contacts 310 abut against the conductive plate, and the start control circuit is conducted through the conductive plate.

[0035] Please see Figure 6In another embodiment of this utility model, each of the two spring pieces 310 includes a fixing plate 314, a vertical plate 315, and an abutment plate 316 connected in sequence. The fixing plate 314 is disposed on the corresponding conductive plate, and the abutment plate 316 is inclined from the side closer to the main board 200 to the side farther away from the main board 200. The sides of the two abutment plates 316 away from the vertical plate 315 can abut against the cover 120, and conduct the start control circuit through the cover 120. In this embodiment, the shorting member 300 abuts against the cover 120 through the spring pieces 310. The purpose is to ensure that the start control circuit is always conductive when the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110. Specifically, when the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, the cover 120 abuts against the two spring pieces 310 and drives the two spring pieces 310 to undergo elastic deformation. At this time, the two spring pieces 310 will always abut against the cover 120 under the action of their own rebound force, thereby always conducting the start control circuit. In one specific embodiment, the conductive plate can be a solder pad. In this embodiment, to ensure the structural stability of the two spring contacts 310, a fixing block is provided on the main board 200. The fixing block has a receiving space, and the two spring contacts 310 are fixed in the receiving space at intervals.

[0036] Please see Figure 6 In another embodiment of this utility model, a bent plate 3161 is provided on the side of the abutment plate 316 away from the upright plate 315, and an arc-shaped abutment surface is provided at the connection between the bent plate 3161 and the abutment plate 316. In this embodiment, by providing the bent plate 3161 and the arc-shaped abutment surface at the connection between the bent plate 3161 and the abutment plate 316, the assembly process can be made smoother and the risk of jamming can be reduced. Specifically, when the cover 120 is installed on the bottom cover 110, the abutment plate 316 will abut against the cover 120. As the assembly process continues, the abutment plate 316 will undergo elastic deformation and slide on the cover 120. At this time, by abutting against the cover 120 with the abutment surface provided at the connection between the bent plate 3161 and the abutment plate 316, the abutment plate 316 can slide more smoothly on the cover 120.

[0037] Please see Figure 7In another embodiment of this utility model, the shorting member 300 is a start switch 320, which is connected in series with the controller. In this embodiment, the shorting member 300 can also be a start switch 320; when the cover 120 is installed to the bottom cover 110, the start control circuit is turned on by triggering the start switch 320. In a specific embodiment, the start switch 320 is a toggle switch or a Hall switch. The toggle switch uses a mechanical structure to change the conduction and cutoff of the start control circuit; when the toggle switch is moved to different positions, the internal metal contacts will contact or separate accordingly, thereby realizing the conduction or cutoff of the start control circuit. A Hall switch is a semiconductor device based on the Hall effect principle. It can convert magnetic field signals into electrical signals, thereby realizing the control of the circuit. It utilizes the Hall effect (when current passes through a conductor placed in a magnetic field, the charge carriers inside the conductor are subjected to the Lorentz force, generating a potential difference in the direction perpendicular to the current and the magnetic field) to detect changes in the magnetic field to control the on / off state, thereby realizing the conduction and cutoff of the start control circuit.

[0038] This utility model also proposes a heated non-combustible smoking device, which includes the aforementioned assembly protection device. The specific structure of the assembly protection device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this heated non-combustible smoking 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, and will not be described in detail here. The electronic cigarette also includes a heating element 400, a power supply unit 500, and a sleeve 600. The heating element 400 is mounted on the bottom cover 110, and the main board 200 is mounted on the heating element 400. The sleeve 600 is mounted on the heating element 400 and exposed to the outside environment for inserting a cigarette. The power supply unit 500 is disposed on the bottom cover 110 and is used to provide power to the heating element 400 and the main board 200.
