[0003] Currently, there are issues with the production process of e-cigarettes on the market. The main problem is that due to the frequent handling and impacts, there's a chance the battery will become loose, affecting electrode contact and potentially causing equipment malfunction. Furthermore, current regulations prevent transportation in a pre-assembled state, thus increasing transportation costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toroidal conductive battery assembly to solve the aforementioned problems. This addresses the shortcomings of existing electronic cigarette batteries, which typically employ a fixed mounting structure. This fixed structure is poorly designed, prone to intermittent connections, leading to equipment malfunctions and inconvenient transportation. Among the various technical solutions provided by this invention, a preferred solution employs a split mounting structure combined with a ring-shaped contact structure. This not only significantly improves production efficiency but also ensures contact stability during use, preventing issues caused by power outages. Details are provided below.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] See Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a toroidal conductive battery assembly, comprising:
[0028] The battery body 4 has a positive electrode protrusion 10 and a negative electrode protrusion 5 on its top surface. The positive electrode protrusion 10 and the negative electrode protrusion 5 are led out from the inside of the battery body 4 and extend out from the top surface of the battery body 4 for contact power supply.
[0029] The negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 is located above the battery body 4. The negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 has a circular structure and a through hole in the middle for the installation of the plastic insulating ring 7 and the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8. The circular structure can not only improve the positioning efficiency in the packaging process, but also ensure the positioning accuracy.
[0030] A plastic pad 1 is disposed between the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 and the battery body 4. The diameter of the plastic pad 1 is the same as the outer diameter of the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 and the diameter of the battery body 4. It can be quickly positioned in conjunction with the battery body 4 during the installation process. A contact piece 11 for covering the negative electrode protrusion 5 is formed on the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3.
[0031] A positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 is disposed inside the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3. The positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 contacts the positive electrode protrusion 10. The positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 has a circular structure, and its bottom surface can contact the positive electrode protrusion 10 above the battery body 4. The positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 has a groove corresponding to the structure of the contact piece 11. The size of the groove corresponds to the contact piece 11, and a gap is reserved in the middle for the installation of the plastic insulating ring 7. It should be noted that the structure of the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 can be adapted according to the structural design of the contact electrode inside the electronic cigarette. By opening a positioning groove on the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 that corresponds to the size of the insulating pad 2, and opening a protrusion on the surface of the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 that corresponds to the shape of the insulating pad 2, the top surface height of the insulating pad 2, the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 can be uniform after the insulating pad 2 is installed on the upper surface of the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 and the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8, so as to form a planar structure, which is convenient for supporting, positioning and installing the electrode sheet inside the electronic cigarette.
[0032] A plastic insulating ring 7 is disposed between the negative metal connecting piece 3 and the positive metal connecting piece 8 to achieve insulation between the negative metal connecting piece 3 and the positive metal connecting piece 8. The plastic insulating ring 7 can prevent short circuits, ensure effective separation between the positive and negative metal connecting pieces 3, and improve the safety of use.
[0033] During production, operators arrange the components sequentially from top to bottom on the battery body 4 according to their specific positions. A soft-pack is then applied, ensuring the positive electrode metal connector 8 is positioned at the center of the top surface of the battery body 4, while the negative electrode metal connector 3 is located at the edge of the top surface. The positive and negative electrode metal connectors 8 and 3 are separated by an insulating pad 2. After packaging, when the installed battery is placed into the e-cigarette device, the electrode structure inside the e-cigarette abuts against the positive and negative electrode metal connectors 8 and 3 respectively, thus establishing a circuit connection. The battery then powers the e-cigarette. This structural design not only allows for easy disassembly, reducing replacement costs and ensuring safety during transportation, but also ensures that the electrode plates maintain close contact with the tabs while the battery rotates inside the e-cigarette, preventing malfunctions and extending the stability of the e-cigarette during use.
[0034] Preferably, the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 has a disc-shaped structure, and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 has a ring-shaped structure. The positions of the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 can be interchanged according to the positions of the positive electrode protrusion 10 and the negative electrode protrusion 5, so as to meet the structural design of the internal electrode plates of different models of electronic cigarettes. It should be noted that the electrode plates inside the electronic cigarette are usually set on the end face inside the battery compartment, and two electrode plates extend out to correspond to the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 respectively. One of the electrode plates coincides with the axis position inside the battery compartment. At the same time, the structural design of the disc-shaped positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the ring-shaped negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 can facilitate the precise positioning of the electrode plates during use. Even if the battery rotates inside the battery compartment, the electrode tabs on the electrode plates can still maintain close contact with the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 of the battery, so as to avoid power failure affecting the normal operation of the electronic cigarette.
[0035] Preferably, the plastic pad 1 has positive contact holes 9 and negative contact holes 6 corresponding to the positions of the positive electrode protrusion 10 and the negative electrode protrusion 5. During installation, the plastic pad 1 can be directly fitted onto the battery body 4 for quick positioning, improving the efficiency of soft-pack processing.
[0036] Preferably, the diameters of the positive electrode contact hole 9 and the negative electrode contact hole 6 correspond to the diameters of the positive electrode protrusion 10 and the negative electrode protrusion 5, and the diameter of the protrusion is slightly larger than that of the positive electrode protrusion 10. When the plastic pad 1 is installed on the battery body 4, the contact friction between the contact hole 12 and the protrusion can achieve a limiting effect, prevent it from falling off, and improve the battery's service life.
[0037] Preferably, an insulating pad 2 is provided above the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8. The center of the insulating pad 2 has a contact hole 12 that exposes the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8. The insulating pad 2 is located above the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8. The structure design of the insulating pad 2 and the plastic insulating ring 7 can separate the positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3. The positive electrode metal connecting piece 8 is located at the center of the top surface of the battery body 4, and the negative electrode metal connecting piece 3 is located at the edge of the top surface of the battery body 4, so as to facilitate the design of the electrode sheet structure inside the electronic cigarette.
[0038] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
