Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomizing device technology, and in particular to atomizing devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of atomization device technology such as electronic cigarettes, consumers' demand for more diverse functions in these devices is gradually increasing.

[0003] Currently, most e-cigarettes and other atomizing devices sold on the market are still focused on the development of atomization functions. Moreover, the utilization rate of the internal storage space of atomizing devices in related technologies is still low, and the functions of atomizing devices are relatively simple, making it difficult to meet the needs of consumers. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an atomizing device that addresses the issues of limited functionality and low space utilization in atomizing devices.

[0005] An atomizing device, the atomizing device comprising:

[0006] The mounting housing has a receiving cavity and a first opening, the first opening being in communication with the receiving cavity;

[0007] An atomizing assembly is disposed in the accommodating cavity; the atomizing assembly includes a battery element and an atomizing element; the atomizing element is used for heating to form smoke;

[0008] A USB flash drive includes a flash drive body and a connector, wherein the flash drive body is electrically connected to the connector; the flash drive is movable at least between a first position and a second position in the receiving cavity.

[0009] A position switch is provided, wherein the battery element, the position switch, and the atomizing element are electrically connected to form a switching circuit; wherein, when the USB flash drive is in the first position, the connector retracts from the first opening into the mounting housing, the position switch is in a closed state, and the switching circuit is energized; when the USB flash drive is in the second position, the connector extends out of the first opening, the position switch is in an open state, and the switching circuit is de-energized.

[0010] In one embodiment, the side wall of the mounting housing is further provided with a sliding groove; the sliding groove is disposed opposite to the USB flash drive and communicates with the receiving cavity; the USB flash drive further includes a push-pull member, which is inserted into the sliding groove and protrudes from the outer side wall of the mounting housing, and is connected to at least one of the USB flash drive body and the connector; the push-pull member is used to slide along the sliding groove when subjected to external force, so as to drive the USB flash drive to move between the first position and the second position.

[0011] In one embodiment, the groove extends along the depth direction of the receiving cavity.

[0012] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes a locking assembly connected to the mounting housing, the locking assembly having a locked state and an unlocked state; wherein...

[0013] When the locking component is in the locked state, it engages with the USB flash drive to lock the position of the USB flash drive relative to the mounting housing; when the locking component is in the unlocked state, it releases the lock on the USB flash drive, allowing the USB flash drive to move relative to the mounting housing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a baffle member that is movable in a direction toward or away from the first opening; when the locking assembly is in the locked state, the baffle member blocks the first opening to enclose the USB flash drive in the receiving cavity; when the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the baffle member moves away from the position blocking the first opening, allowing the connector to extend and retract within the first opening.

[0015] In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a guide rail and a connector. The guide rail has a first guide rail, a second guide rail, and a locking recess. The first guide rail has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along its extension direction. The second guide rail has a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other along its extension direction. The first end and the third end are connected, and the second end and the fourth end are connected, with the locking recess located between the second end and the fourth end. The connector is connected and engaged with the USB flash drive.

[0016] When the locking component is in the unlocked state, the connector is separated from the engagement recess, and the connector can guide and cooperate with the first guide rail and the second guide rail so that the connector drives the USB flash drive to slide along the receiving cavity; when the locking component is in the locked state, the connector is engaged with the engagement recess.

[0017] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes a heat insulation component connected to the mounting housing; and the USB flash drive is spaced apart from the atomizing assembly via the heat insulation component.

[0018] And / or, when the USB flash drive is in the first position, at least a portion of the USB flash drive is offset from and spaced apart from the atomizing element.

[0019] In one embodiment, the mounting housing has a first surface and a second surface opposite each other along the depth direction of the accommodating cavity, and the mounting housing also has a second opening; the first opening is disposed on the first surface, the second opening is disposed on the second surface, and the atomizing element is inserted and engaged with the second opening.

[0020] In one embodiment, the position switch is a contact switch, and the USB flash drive is provided with a first sensing part; when the USB flash drive is in the first position, the first sensing part abuts against the contact switch, so that the contact switch is in a closed state; when the USB flash drive is in the second position, the first sensing part and the contact switch are spaced apart, so that the contact switch is in an open state.

[0021] In one embodiment, the position switch includes a sensing element and an inductive switch, and the USB flash drive is provided with a second sensing part; the sensing element has a communication range that can communicate with the second sensing part to generate a power supply signal; when the USB flash drive is in the first position, the second sensing part is within the communication range, the sensing element can communicate with the second sensing part to generate the power supply signal, and the inductive switch is used to adjust to a closed state according to the power supply signal; when the USB flash drive is in the second position, the second sensing part is spaced apart from the communication range, and the inductive switch is in an open state.

[0022] In one embodiment, the atomizing component further includes a control element for controlling the switching circuit to switch between power on and power off; the USB flash drive further includes a conductive element disposed on the USB flash drive body and electrically connected to the control element, so that when the connector is electrically connected to an external device, the control element can transmit electrical signals with the external device.

[0023] The aforementioned atomizing device features a USB flash drive that can slide retractably within the first opening of its accommodating cavity. When needed, the USB flash drive's connector extends from the housing to connect to an external device. When not in use, the USB flash drive retracts back into the housing, enhancing the atomizing device's storage capabilities, improving the utilization of its internal space, and maintaining its overall integrity and portability.

[0024] Furthermore, the battery component, position switch, and atomizing element are electrically connected to form a switching circuit. When the USB flash drive is in the first position (the flash drive is housed within the receiving cavity), the position switch is closed, the switching circuit is energized, and the atomizing element can begin to operate. When the USB flash drive is in the second position (the connector can extend from the first opening), the position switch is open, the switching circuit is de-energized, and the atomizing element stops operating. This allows the atomizing component to be in a non-operating state when the USB flash drive is extended and needs to be connected to an external device, and conversely, when the atomizing component is operating, the USB flash drive is not connected to the external device. This prevents overload, overheating, or leakage accidents that may occur when both the atomizing component and the USB flash drive are simultaneously powered, thus improving the safety of the atomizing device.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the atomizing device 100 in one embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an atomizing device 100, including a mounting housing 110, an atomizing component 120, and a USB flash drive 130. The mounting housing 110 has a receiving cavity 111 and a first opening 112, the first opening 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111. The atomizing component 120 is disposed in the receiving cavity 111. The USB flash drive 130 includes a USB flash drive body 131 and a connector 132, the USB flash drive body 131 and the connector 132 being electrically connected.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the atomizing device 100 also includes a position switch 140. The USB flash drive 130 is at least slidable relative to the receiving cavity 111 between a first position and a second position. The atomizing assembly 120 includes a battery element 121 and an atomizing element 122. The atomizing element 122 is used for heating to form vapor. The battery element 121, the position switch 140, and the atomizing element 122 are electrically connected to form a switching circuit. Specifically, when the USB flash drive 130 is in the first position, the connector 132 retracts from the first opening 112 into the mounting housing 110, and the position switch 140 is in a closed state, energizing the switching circuit. When the USB flash drive 130 is in the second position, the connector 132 extends out of the first opening 112, and the position switch 140 is in an open state, de-energizing the switching circuit.

[0040] The USB flash drive 130 can be used with external devices to achieve a variety of functions, such as electrical connection with external devices through connector 132 to achieve data transmission.

[0041] Understandably, the USB flash drive 130 can slide retractably within the first opening 112 of the accommodating cavity 111. When needed, the connector 132 of the USB flash drive 130 can extend out of the housing to connect with an external device. When not in use, the USB flash drive body 131 can retract into the housing, allowing the atomizing device 100 to store the USB flash drive 130, improving the space utilization of the internal space of the atomizing device 100, and maintaining the integrity and portability of the atomizing device 100.

[0042] Furthermore, the battery element 121, position switch 140, and atomizing element 122 are electrically connected to form a switching circuit. When the USB flash drive 130 is in the first position (the USB flash drive 130 is housed in the receiving cavity 111), the position switch 140 is closed, the switching circuit is energized, and the atomizing element 122 can start working. When the USB flash drive 130 is in the second position (the connector 132 can extend out of the first opening 112), the position switch 140 is open, the switching circuit is de-energized, and the atomizing element 122 stops working.

[0043] In this way, when the USB flash drive 130 is extended and needs to be connected to an external device, the atomizing component 120 can be in a non-working state. When the atomizing component 120 is in a working state, the USB flash drive 130 is not connected to the external device. This avoids accidents such as overload, overheating or leakage when the atomizing component 120 and the USB flash drive 130 are connected to power at the same time, thus improving the safety of the atomizing device 100.

[0044] In one example, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the USB flash drive 130 is slidably inserted into the receiving cavity 111, which allows the connector 132 to slide and extend in the first opening 112. The USB flash drive 130 can be a USB component.

[0045] Optionally, the atomizing assembly 120 further includes a control element 123, which controls the switching circuit to switch between power on and power off. That is, the switching circuit can be controlled by the control element 123. The USB flash drive 130 also includes a conductive element disposed on the USB flash drive body 131 and electrically connected to the control element 123, enabling the control element 123 to transmit electrical signals to the external device when the connector 132 is electrically connected to it.

[0046] The conductive component can be a pin or a lead, which can be selected according to the specific setting of the control element 123. In this way, the USB flash drive 130 can transmit electrical signals with the control element 123. Since the control element 123 has a certain storage function, the conductive component, in conjunction with the control element 123, enables data transmission between the control element 123 and the external device when the USB flash drive 130 is electrically connected. This eliminates the need for an additional storage device on the USB flash drive body 131, reducing the number of components for the USB flash drive 130 in the atomizing device 100, reducing space occupation, and lowering setup costs.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment, the control element 123 includes a storage circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit controls the switching of the switch circuit; while the storage circuit can transmit electrical signals with external devices via the USB flash drive 130 to exchange information.

[0048] It should be noted that the control element 123 can be, but is not limited to, a PCB circuit board, or a microcontroller such as an MCU, etc., without too many restrictions here.

[0049] Furthermore, to improve the ease of sliding operations on the USB flash drive 130, see below. Figure 1 and combination Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the mounting housing 110 is further provided with a sliding groove 113. The sliding groove 113 is disposed opposite to the USB flash drive 130 and communicates with the receiving cavity 111. The USB flash drive 130 also includes a push-pull member 133, which is inserted into the sliding groove 113 and protrudes from the outer side wall of the mounting housing 110. The push-pull member 133 is connected to at least one of the USB flash drive body 131 and the connector 132. The push-pull member 133 is used to slide along the sliding groove 113 when subjected to external force, so as to drive the USB flash drive 130 to move between a first position and a second position.

[0050] Thus, the push-pull rod protrudes from the outer side wall of the mounting housing 110, allowing the operator to push the USB flash drive 130 to slide within the receiving cavity 111 via the push-pull component 133. This facilitates the operator in adjusting the sliding distance of the USB flash drive 130 and optimizes the user experience.

[0051] In addition, the side wall of the mounting housing 110 is provided with a sliding groove 113, which is connected to the receiving cavity 111. The sliding groove 113 can be used to accommodate the push-pull component 133 and guide its sliding, which is convenient for operators. The guiding function of the sliding groove 113 can ensure the stability of the sliding path of the push-pull component 133, making the extension and retraction of the USB flash drive 130 more stable, reducing the displacement or jamming of the USB flash drive 130 during the sliding process, which is conducive to precise control of the extension length of the connector 132, and reduces the operational wear when the USB flash drive 130 slides with the receiving cavity 111.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the slide groove 113 extends along the depth direction X of the receiving cavity 111. This extension of the slide groove 113 along the depth direction X facilitates the alignment of the USB flash drive 130's trajectory with the depth direction X, minimizing the trajectory of the USB flash drive 130 as it slides within the receiving cavity 111, thereby improving the efficiency of the USB flash drive 130's extension and retraction within the receiving cavity 111. The depth direction X can be the length direction of the atomizing device 100 (such as an electronic cigarette), or other directions; no further limitations are imposed here.

[0053] To improve the installation stability of the USB flash drive 130 within the accommodating cavity 111, refer to any embodiment of the USB flash drive 130. Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing device 100 also includes a locking assembly 150, which is connected to the mounting housing 110. Specifically, the locking assembly 150 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking assembly 150 is in the locked state, it engages with the USB flash drive 130 to lock the USB flash drive 130 into the receiving cavity 111, keeping the USB flash drive 130 relatively stationary with respect to the receiving cavity 111. When the locking assembly 150 is in the unlocked state, it separates from the USB flash drive 130, allowing the USB flash drive 130 to slide relative to the receiving cavity 111.

[0054] Thus, in the locked state, the USB flash drive 130 is securely fixed within the receiving cavity 111, preventing it from loosening or falling out due to accidental impacts or vibrations during use, thereby improving the protection of the USB flash drive 130. Correspondingly, when it is necessary to electrically connect the USB flash drive 130 to an external device, simply switching the locking component 150 to the unlocked state allows the USB flash drive 130 to be easily removed from or inserted into the receiving cavity 111. This design greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the efficiency of maintenance and replacement.

[0055] It should be noted that the locking component 150 in the above embodiments can be a mechanical locking component 150 or an electronic locking component 150, etc., and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0056] In one embodiment, see back Figure 2 The locking assembly 150 includes a baffle 151, which is movable in a direction toward or away from the first opening 112. When the locking assembly 150 is in the locked state, the baffle 151 blocks the first opening 112 to enclose the USB flash drive 130 in the receiving cavity 111. That is, when the locking assembly 150 is in the locked state, the baffle 151 moves away from the position blocking the first opening 112, enclosing the USB flash drive 130 in the receiving cavity 111 and preventing the USB flash drive 130 from sliding out of the first opening 112.

[0057] When the locking assembly 150 is in the unlocked state, the baffle 151 is spaced apart from the first opening 112, allowing the connector 132 to extend and retract within the first opening 112. That is, when the baffle 151 moves to a position spaced apart from the first opening 112, the USB flash drive 130 can freely extend and retract from the first opening 112, facilitating the installation and removal of the USB flash drive 130.

[0058] In this way, users can lock and unlock the locking component 150 through simple operations (such as pushing or pulling the baffle 151), which facilitates better protection of the USB flash drive 130. Furthermore, in the locked state, the baffle 151 covers the first opening 112, which can prevent dust, impurities, etc. from entering the receiving cavity 111, protecting the USB flash drive 130 and other components inside the atomizing device 100.

[0059] The baffle 151 may be slidably connected to or rotatably connected to the mounting housing 110 so that the baffle 151 can cover and cooperate with the first opening 112.

[0060] In another embodiment, combined with Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the locking assembly 150 includes a guide rail 152 and a connector 153. The guide rail 152 has a first guide rail 1521, a second guide rail 1522, and a locking recess 1523. The first guide rail 1521 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along its own extension direction. The second guide rail 1522 has a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other along its own extension direction. The first end and the third end are connected, the second end and the fourth end are connected, and the locking recess 1523 is disposed between the second end and the fourth end. The connector 153 is connected and engaged with the USB flash drive 130.

[0061] When the locking assembly 150 is in the unlocked state, the connector 153 separates from the engaging recess 1523, and the connector 153 can guide and engage with the first guide rail 1521 and the second guide rail 1522, so that the connector 153 drives the USB flash drive 130 to slide within the receiving cavity 111. When the locking assembly 150 is in the locked state, the connector 153 engages with the engaging recess 1523.

[0062] To facilitate understanding, the locking principle of locking component 150 will be explained below using an example scenario.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, when it is necessary to lock the USB flash drive 130 into the receiving cavity 111, the USB flash drive 130 can be pushed (such as pushing the connector 132 or the push-pull member 133 in the above embodiment), so that the connector 153 can slide along the first guide rail 1521 in the direction close to the engaging recess 1523.

[0064] like Figure 8As shown, when the connector 153 slides to the engaging recess 1523, the connector 153 engages and is fixed with the engaging recess 1523, causing the connector 153 to lock the USB flash drive 130 into the receiving cavity 111. At this time, the running trajectory of the USB flash drive 130 has a motion vector along the depth direction X, moving first upwards and then downwards.

[0065] like Figure 9 As shown, when it is necessary to pull out the USB flash drive 130, it can be pushed inward along the depth direction X towards the receiving cavity 111, causing the connector 153 to separate from the engaging recess 1523. Then, the connector 153 slides along the second guide rail 1522, causing the connector 153 to drive the USB flash drive 130 outward in a direction away from the receiving cavity 111, thus extending the connector 132. At this time, the running trajectory of the USB flash drive 130 has an upward-downward motion vector along the depth direction X.

[0066] Thus, through a simple sliding operation, users can easily separate or engage the connector 153 with the engaging recess 1523 to unlock and lock. This design simplifies the process of extending or retracting the USB flash drive 130, improves the user experience, and is simple in structure and easy to set up. In addition, the design of the guide rail 152 makes the movement path of the connector 153 clear, reduces friction and wear during the movement of the connector 153, and ensures the service life of the atomizing device 100.

[0067] Furthermore, the locking assembly 150 may also include a spring element inserted into the connector 153, allowing the connector 153 to elastically engage with the USB flash drive 130 via the spring element. This spring element improves the smoothness of movement of the connector 153, optimizing the user experience. Simultaneously, the spring element provides a certain amount of cushioning between the connector 153 and the USB flash drive 130, thus providing better protection for the USB flash drive 130.

[0068] In one embodiment, the atomizing device 100 further includes a power supply unit, and the locking assembly 150 includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element. The power supply unit powers and magnetizes the first magnetic element, and the second magnetic element is connected to the USB flash drive 130. When the locking assembly 150 is in the locked state, the power supply unit powers and engages with the first magnetic element, causing the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element to magnetically attract each other. That is, when the locking assembly 150 is in the locked state, the power supply unit powers the first magnetic element, causing it to generate a magnetic field that magnetically attracts the second magnetic element. At this time, the USB flash drive 130 is firmly fixed in the receiving cavity 111 and cannot slide.

[0069] When the locking assembly 150 is in the unlocked state, the power supply unit and the first magnetic component are de-energized, causing the first and second magnetic components to magnetically separate, allowing the USB flash drive 130 to slide relative to the receiving cavity 111. In other words, when the locking assembly 150 is in the unlocked state, the power supply unit and the first magnetic component are de-energized, the first magnetic component loses its magnetism, and it magnetically separates from the second magnetic component. At this time, the USB flash drive 130 can slide relative to the receiving cavity 111, facilitating the extension of the connector 132.

[0070] Thus, users can lock and unlock the locking assembly 150 simply by controlling the power supply, making the operation simple and quick. Furthermore, compared to mechanical locking, the electromagnetic locking method reduces wear on mechanical parts, improving the service life and reliability of the locking assembly 150.

[0071] The second magnetic component can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet.

[0072] To better protect the USB flash drive 130, in one embodiment, the atomizing device 100 further includes a heat insulation component connected to the mounting housing 110. The USB flash drive 130 is spaced apart from the atomizing assembly 120 via the heat insulation component. The heat insulation component can be, but is not limited to, a ceramic layer, a silicone plate, etc. In this way, the heat insulation component can effectively reduce the heat generated by the atomizing assembly 120 from being transferred to the USB flash drive 130, preventing damage or performance degradation of the USB flash drive 130 due to high temperatures. During the atomization process, the atomizing assembly 120 may generate high temperatures; the presence of the heat insulation component can protect the USB flash drive 130 from high temperatures and extend its service life.

[0073] See you later Figure 6 In other embodiments, when the USB flash drive 130 is in the first position, at least a portion of the USB flash drive 130 is staggered and spaced apart from the atomizing element 122. This staggered arrangement means that the USB flash drive 130 and the atomizing element 122 are not located on the same mounting line. In this case, the contact area between the USB flash drive 130 and the atomizing element 122 is significantly reduced compared to when they are on the same mounting line. This helps reduce the heat conduction from the atomizing element 122 to the USB flash drive 130, thereby better protecting the USB flash drive 130 and preventing overheating and malfunction.

[0074] Optionally, in one example, when the USB flash drive 130 is in the first position, the USB flash drive 130 is completely offset from the atomizing element 122. At this time, the USB flash drive 130 can be positioned opposite the battery element 121. It is understood that the battery element 121 has a lower temperature than the atomizing element 122, so even if the USB flash drive 130 is positioned opposite the battery element 121, it will not overheat. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to completely avoid the USB flash drive 130 from both the battery element 121 and the atomizing element 122, which helps save space, improves the integration of the atomizing device 100, and thus contributes to the miniaturization of the atomizing device 100.

[0075] In conjunction with any embodiment of the mounting housing 110 described above, in conjunction with Figure 1 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the mounting housing 110 has a first surface 110a and a second surface 110b opposite each other along the depth direction X of the accommodating cavity 111. The mounting housing 110 also has a second opening 114. The first opening 112 is located on the first surface 110a, and the second opening 114 is located on the second surface 110b. The atomizing element 122 is inserted and engaged with the second opening 114. Thus, the second opening 114 provides a smoke heat dissipation channel for the atomizing element 122. At the same time, by placing the first opening 112 and the second opening 114 on opposite surfaces, the heat conduction of smoke to the USB flash drive 130 is effectively reduced, avoiding the risk of overheating of the USB flash drive 130, thereby ensuring the service life of the USB flash drive 130.

[0076] It should be noted that the position switch 140 in the above embodiments can be, but is not limited to, a contact switch or a non-contact switch.

[0077] In some embodiments, the position switch 140 is a contact switch, and the USB flash drive 130 is provided with a first sensing element. When the USB flash drive 130 is in a first position, the first sensing element abuts against the contact switch, causing the contact switch to be in a closed state. When the USB flash drive 130 is in a second position, the first sensing element is spaced apart from the contact switch, causing the contact switch to be in an open state.

[0078] Thus, on the one hand, compared to non-contact switches (such as photoelectric switches, Hall sensors, etc.), contact switches are inherently less expensive, and this design does not require additional signal processing circuitry, further reducing costs. On the other hand, contact switches utilize mechanical contact to achieve switching state transitions, avoiding environmental interference (such as dust, oil, etc.) that may affect non-contact switches, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the position switch 140.

[0079] Specifically, contact switches can be limit switches, toggle switches, etc., without too many restrictions.

[0080] In other embodiments, the position switch 140 includes a sensing element and an inductive switch, and the USB flash drive 130 is provided with a second sensing unit. The sensing element has a communication range capable of communicating with the second sensing unit to generate a power supply signal. When the USB flash drive 130 is in a first position, the second sensing unit is within the communication range, the sensing element can communicate with the second sensing unit to generate a power supply signal, and the inductive switch is used to adjust to a closed state according to the power supply signal. When the USB flash drive 130 is in a second position, the second sensing unit is spaced apart from the communication range, and the inductive switch is in an open state.

[0081] In this way, the combination of the sensing element and the inductive switch enables the position switch 140 and the USB flash drive 130 to use a non-contact switch method, avoiding the wear and failure risks caused by mechanical contact, and improving the reliability and service life of the position switch 140.

[0082] It should be noted that the sensing element and the inductive switch, together with the second sensing unit, enable a non-contact switching mechanism. The sensing element can be a magnetic induction element, a photoelectric sensing element, an ultrasonic sensor, a capacitive sensor, a Hall effect sensor, etc. The inductive switch can be a switching element composed of an electrical switching device such as a relay. The electrical switching device, such as a relay, can process the signal from the sensing element to control the opening and closing of the electrical switching device.

[0083] In one example, the sensing element is a photoelectric sensor, which detects the position of the second sensing element. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the second sensing element is within the communication range, the inductive switch closes, energizing the switching circuit. Conversely, when the photoelectric sensor detects that the second sensing element leaves the communication range, the inductive switch opens, de-energizing the switching circuit.

[0084] In another example, the position switch 140 can be a magnetic induction switch. Specifically, the second sensing part is a magnetic part, which can be formed by mounting a magnetic component such as a magnet. In this embodiment, the communication range refers to the magnetic induction range of the magnetic induction switch, that is, within this magnetic induction range, the magnetic induction switch can react magnetically to the magnetic part, causing the magnetic induction switch to open and the switching circuit to be energized. The magnetic induction range is defined as the boundary range within which the magnetic induction switch switches between open and closed when it is in magnetic engagement with a magnetically coupled component.

[0085] Accordingly, when the magnetic part leaves the communication range (i.e. the magnetic induction range), the magnetic induction switch is turned off, and the switching circuit is de-energized.

[0087] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0088] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0089] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
