Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aerosol generation technology, and in particular to a shell assembly and an aerosol generation device. Background Technology

[0002] An aerosol generating device is a device that generates aerosols by heating an aerosol product with electricity. It typically includes a power source, an atomizing component, and a housing assembly. The power source is located inside the housing assembly, and the atomizing component is connected to the housing assembly.

[0003] However, in the process of implementing the embodiments of this application, the inventors discovered that: currently, the housing assembly includes a housing and a base, and the base is snapped onto the housing by an elastic locking arm to fix the base to the housing. However, the snapping method of the elastic locking arm results in a weak snapping force, which makes it easy for the base to detach from the housing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem addressed by this application is to provide a housing assembly and an aerosol generating device, which aims to solve the problem of easy detachment between the base and the housing.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution: A housing assembly is provided, including a housing, a base, a locking member, and a pressing member. The base is detachably connected to the housing, and the locking member is disposed on the base. The pressing member is disposed on the base and is capable of receiving a pressing operation, thereby moving from a first position to a second position. When the pressing member is in the first position, it abuts against the locking member, so that the locking member is in a locked position, thereby locking the base onto the housing. When the pressing member is in the second position, the locking member can move from the locked position to an unlocked position, thereby releasing the lock between the base and the housing and allowing the base to be detached from the housing.

[0006] Optionally, it may also include a first elastic member that abuts against the locking member;

[0007] When the pressing member moves from the first position to the second position, the first elastic member can provide an elastic force to the locking member, so that the locking member moves from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0008] Optionally, it may also include a second elastic member that abuts against the pressing member;

[0009] When the pressing operation is cancelled, the second elastic element can provide an elastic force to the pressing element so that the pressing element returns from the second position to the first position.

[0010] Optionally, an opening is provided on the side wall of the seat, and the locking member is disposed in the seat and a portion of the locking member is inserted into the opening;

[0011] When the locking member moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, a portion of the locking member passes through the opening and engages with the housing, thereby locking the seat onto the housing;

[0012] When the locking member moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, a portion of the locking member returns to the opening.

[0013] Optionally, the inner wall of the housing has a first flange, and a portion of the locking member passes through the opening and abuts against the first flange.

[0014] Optionally, a limiting part is provided in the seat body;

[0015] When the locking member moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the limiting part can limit the locking member.

[0016] Optionally, the pressing member includes a pressing part, an abutting part, and a connecting part for connecting the pressing part and the abutting part;

[0017] The pressing part is at least partially exposed outside the seat body to receive the pressing operation;

[0018] The abutting part is disposed in the seat body;

[0019] When the pressing member is in the first position, the abutting part abuts against the locking member; when the pressing member is in the second position, the abutting part can avoid the locking member, so that the locking member can move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0020] Optionally, the surface of the abutting portion facing the locking member is provided with an inclined abutting surface.

[0021] Optionally, the outer side wall of the seat has a second flange, a portion of the seat is housed within the housing, and one end of the housing abuts against the second flange.

[0022] Optionally, the locking member includes a first locking member and a second locking member, which are arranged on both sides of the movement direction from the first position to the second position.

[0023] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide an aerosol generating device, including the above-mentioned housing assembly, atomizing assembly and battery, wherein the atomizing assembly is used to atomize the aerosol generating matrix, and the battery is disposed in the housing assembly and electrically connected to the atomizing assembly.

[0024] In this embodiment, the housing assembly includes a housing, a base, a locking member, and a pressing member. The base is detachably connected to the housing, and the locking member is disposed on the base. The pressing member is disposed on the base and is capable of receiving a pressing operation, thereby moving from a first position to a second position. When the pressing member is in the first position, it abuts against the locking member, placing the locking member in a locked position, thus locking the base onto the housing. When the pressing member is in the second position, the locking member can move from the locked position to an unlocked position, thereby releasing the lock between the base and the housing and allowing the base to be detached from the housing. By abutting against the locking member in the first position, the locking member is placed in a locked position, thus locking the base onto the housing and preventing easy separation of the base and the housing.

[0042] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "locked" to another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0044] Please see Figures 1-3This application provides a housing assembly 100, which includes a housing 1, a base 2, a locking member 3, and a pressing member 4. The base 2 is detachably connected to the housing 1, and the locking member 3 is disposed on the base 2. The pressing member 4 is disposed on the base 2 and can receive a pressing operation, thereby moving from a first position to a second position. When the pressing member 4 is in the first position, it abuts against the locking member 3, so that the locking member 3 is in a locked position, thereby locking the base 2 onto the housing 1. When the pressing member 4 is in the second position, the locking member 3 can move from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby releasing the lock between the base 2 and the housing 1, and allowing the base 2 to be detached from the housing 1. By abutting against the locking member 3 when the pressing member 4 is in the first position, so that the locking member 3 is in the locked position, the locking member 3 can lock the base 2 onto the housing 1, preventing the base 2 from easily separating from the housing 1 and achieving convenient operation.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing assembly 100 also includes a first elastic member 5 that abuts against the locking member 3. When the pressing member 4 moves from the first position to the second position, the first elastic member 5 can provide an elastic force to the locking member 3, so that the locking member 3 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby automatically releasing the lock between the seat 2 and the housing 1. As an example, the first elastic member 5 is a spring.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing assembly 100 also includes a second elastic member 6 that abuts against the pressing member 4. When the pressing operation is revoked, the second elastic member 6 can provide an elastic force to the pressing member 4, so that the pressing member 4 returns from the second position to the first position, thereby causing the pressing member 4 to push the locking member 3 from the unlocked position to the locked position, realizing the automatic reset of the locking member 3. As an example, the second elastic member 6 is a spring.

[0047] In some embodiments, see 4 and Figure 5 An opening 21 is provided on the side wall of the seat 2. A locking member 3 is disposed inside the seat 2, with a portion of the locking member 3 inserted into the opening 21. When the locking member 3 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the portion of the locking member 3 passes through the opening 21 and engages with the housing 1, thereby locking the seat 2 onto the housing 1. When the locking member 3 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the portion of the locking member 3 returns to the opening 21. The opening 21 restricts the locking member 3 within the seat 2.

[0048] In some embodiments, see 4 and Figure 5The base 2 is provided with a first receiving groove 22, which connects to the opening 21. The first receiving groove 22 accommodates a locking member 3 and a first elastic member 5. The locking member 3 is movable relative to the first receiving groove 22 and covers the first elastic member 5. The first elastic member 5 abuts against the inner side wall of the base 2 and the side of the locking member 3 away from the opening 21. By covering the first elastic member 5 with the locking member 3, the first elastic member 5 is blocked, preventing it from disengaging from the first receiving groove 22.

[0049] In some embodiments, see 4 and Figure 5 The base 2 is provided with a first limiting plate 23 and a second limiting plate 24. The first limiting plate 23 and the second limiting plate 24 are disposed in the first receiving groove 22. The locking member 3 is located between the first limiting plate 23 and the second limiting plate 24 to limit the locking member 3.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 A second receiving groove 31 is provided on the side of the locking member 3 away from the opening 21. The second receiving groove 31 is connected to the first receiving groove 22. The second receiving groove 31 receives part of the first elastic member 5. The first elastic member 5 abuts against the bottom of the second receiving groove 31.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The inner wall of the housing 1 has a first flange 11, and a portion of the locking member 3 passes through the opening 21 and abuts against the first flange 11 so that the locking member 3 can lock the seat 2 onto the housing 1.

[0052] It is understood that in some embodiments, the inner sidewall of the housing 1 is provided with a locking groove, and a portion of the locking member 3 passes through the opening 21 and is inserted into the locking groove, so that the locking member 3 can lock the seat 2 onto the housing 1. In other embodiments, the locking groove is a through groove that penetrates the sidewall of the housing 1.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 To enhance locking strength, the length 'a' of the portion of the locking member 3 that abuts against the first flange 11 or is inserted into the locking groove is increased. As an example, the length 'a' of the portion of the locking member 3 that abuts against the first flange 11 or is inserted into the locking groove is greater than or equal to 1 mm.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The seat 2 is provided with a limiting part 25. Specifically, the limiting part 25 is located in the first receiving groove 22. When the locking member 3 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the limiting part 25 can limit the locking member 3. That is, when the locking member 3 is in the unlocked position, the limiting part 25 abuts against the locking member 3 to limit it and prevent the locking member 3 from partially disengaging from the opening 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The pressing member 4 includes a pressing part 41, an abutting part 42, and a connecting part 43 for connecting the pressing part 41 and the abutting part 42. The pressing part 41 is at least partially exposed outside the base 2 to receive pressing operations. The abutting part 42 is disposed inside the base 2. Specifically, the abutting part 42 is received in a first receiving groove 22. When the pressing member 4 is in a first position, the abutting part 42 abuts against the locking member 3. When the pressing member 4 is in a second position, the abutting part 42 can avoid the locking member 3, so that the locking member 3 can move from the locked position to the unlocked position. By having the abutting part 42 abut against the locking member 3 when the pressing member 4 is in the first position, the locking member 3 is kept in the locked position.

[0056] It is understood that in some other embodiments, when the locking member 3 is in the unlocked position, the pressing member 4 abuts against the locking member 3 to limit the locking member 3. That is, when the pressing member 4 is in the second position, the abutting part 42 does not need to avoid the locking member 3.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The abutting part 42 has an inclined abutting surface 421 on the surface facing the locking member 3. The inclined abutting surface 421 is used to guide the pressing member 4 when it moves from the second position to the first position.

[0058] It should be noted that when the pressing member 4 is in the first position, the surfaces of the abutting part 42 and the locking member 3 are both flat, preventing the elastic force provided by the first elastic member 5 from generating a component force acting on the abutting part 42, thus preventing a tendency to move from the first position to the second position.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 2 is provided with a third receiving groove 26, a through hole 27, and a fourth receiving groove 28. The third receiving groove 26 connects the through hole 27 and the fourth receiving groove 28, and the through hole 27 connects the first receiving groove 22. Parts of the third receiving groove 26 and the through hole 27 are both located in the limiting part 25. The pressing part 41 is received in the fourth receiving groove 28. When the pressing member 4 is in the first position, the connecting part 43 is received in the fourth receiving groove 28, the third receiving groove 26, and the through hole 27. When the pressing member 4 is in the second position, the connecting part 43 is received in the third receiving groove 26, the through hole 27, and the first receiving groove 22. The first elastic member 5 is sleeved on the connecting part 43, and the second elastic member 6 abuts against the bottom of the third receiving groove 26 and the pressing part 41. The pressing part 41 is received by the third receiving groove to prevent the pressing part 41 from protruding from the base 2, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the housing assembly 100 and facilitating the placement of the housing assembly 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The outer side wall of the seat 2 has a second flange 29. Part of the seat 2 is housed inside the housing 1 and one end of the housing 1 abuts against the second flange 29. That is, the first flange 11 is located between the part of the locking member 3 and the second flange 29, so that the seat 2 is locked on the housing 1, and part of the seat 2 is located outside the housing 1, so that the user can grasp part of the seat 2 and pull the seat 2 out of the housing 1.

[0061] It is understood that in other embodiments, the seat 2 is housed within the housing 1, and the first flange 11 abuts against the second flange 29.

[0062] In some embodiments, the locking member 3 includes a first locking member and a second locking member, which are arranged on both sides of the movement direction from the first position to the second position. Correspondingly, there are two first elastic members 5, one of which abuts against the first locking member and the seat 2, and the other of which abuts against the second locking member and the seat 2.

[0063] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 includes a housing 1, a seat 2, a locking member 3, and a pressing member 4. The seat 2 is detachably connected to the housing 1. The locking member 3 is disposed on the seat 2. The pressing member 4 is disposed on the seat 2 and can receive a pressing operation, thereby moving from a first position to a second position. When the pressing member 4 is in the first position, it abuts against the locking member 3, so that the locking member 3 is in a locked position, thereby locking the seat 2 onto the housing 1. When the pressing member 4 is in the second position, the locking member 3 can move from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby releasing the lock between the seat 2 and the housing 1, and allowing the seat 2 to be detached from the housing 1. By having the pressing member 4 abut against the locking member 3 in the first position, so that the locking member 3 is in the locked position, the locking member 3 can lock the seat 2 onto the housing 1, preventing easy separation of the seat 2 from the housing 1 and facilitating operation.

[0064] This application also provides an embodiment of an aerosol generating device, which includes the aforementioned housing assembly 100, atomizing assembly, and battery. The atomizing assembly is used to atomize the aerosol generating matrix to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale.
