[0024] This utility model proposes a quick-release structure 100.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the quick-release structure 100 includes a housing 1, a quick-release component 2, and a plug-in component 3. The housing 1 has a mounting groove 11 and a receiving groove 12, and the receiving groove 12 communicates with the mounting groove 11. The quick-release component 2 includes a button 21 and a push rod 22 connected to each other. The button 21 is movably disposed in the receiving groove 12, and the push rod 22 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 11. The plug-in component 3 is accommodated in the mounting groove 11 and abuts against and limits the push rod 22. The button 21 is configured to drive the push rod 22 to disengage from the plug-in component 3 when pressed.

[0026] In this technical solution, when the plug-in component 3 needs to be removed, press button 21 to disengage the push rod 22 from the plug-in component 3. At this time, the plug-in component 3 can be removed from the mounting slot 11, completing the disassembly. When the plug-in component 3 needs to be installed, the plug-in component 3 passes through the slot of the mounting slot 11 and abuts against the push rod 22 for limitation, completing the installation of the plug-in component 3. The quick-release structure 100 provided by this utility model can solve the problems of cumbersome battery replacement operation and easy damage to the cover in the prior art by using a quick-release component 2 that connects button 21 and push rod 22. Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with mounting slot 11 and receiving slot 12, and the receiving slot 12 is connected to the mounting slot 11. This structural design provides the quick-release component 2 with a movable space, so that button 21 and push rod 22 can move in the corresponding slots. The quick-release component 2 includes a connected button 21 and a push rod 22. The button 21 is movably disposed within the receiving groove 12, and the push rod 22 is movably disposed within the mounting groove 11. This design allows the user to directly disengage the push rod 22 from the plug-in component 3 with a simple pressing action, eliminating the need to first locate the pull groove, then disengage it from the positioning pin, and finally remove the fixing cover from the slot, as required by existing technologies. This greatly simplifies the battery replacement process and improves operational convenience and efficiency. The plug-in component 3 is housed within the mounting groove 11 and abuts against the push rod 22 for positioning. This abutment and positioning design ensures that the plug-in component 3 is firmly fixed within the mounting groove 11 under normal operating conditions, preventing it from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force, thus improving the stability and reliability of the device. Simultaneously, the simplified operation reduces the risk of damage to the cover due to improper force, thereby extending the overall service life of the device and improving the user experience. The quick-release structure 100 proposed in this solution is suitable for a variety of devices that require frequent component replacement, such as electronic cigarettes, aerosol generating devices, filters, and spray equipment, and has wide applicability and versatility.

[0027] The insertion / removal component 3 abuts and limits the contact with the push rod 22. This can be achieved by having a hook 221 at the end of the push rod 22, a groove at the end of the insertion / removal component 3, and a hook 221 within the groove. The hook 221 on the push rod 22 and the hook 221 in the groove face opposite directions. The insertion / removal component 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, and the hook 221 in the groove abuts and limits the contact with the hook 221 on the push rod 22. Alternatively, a hook 221 can be provided on the push rod 22, and a groove can be provided at the end of the insertion / removal component 3. The side wall of the groove has a limiting step, and the hook 221 abuts and limits the contact with the limiting step. This solution does not restrict this approach.

[0028] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4In one embodiment, the end of the push rod 22 away from the button 21 has a hook 221, and one end of the plug-in component 3 has a hooking groove 31. A first limiting step 32 is formed on one side wall of the hooking groove 31, and the hook 221 abuts against the first limiting step 32 for limiting. By using the cooperation between the hook 221 on the push rod 22 and the hooking groove 31 and the first limiting step 32 on the plug-in component 3, the problems of the plug-in component 3 being not securely fixed in the mounting groove 11 and being inconvenient to disassemble can be solved. Specifically, the end of the push rod 22 away from the button 21 has a hook 221. When the plug-in component 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the hooking groove 31 at one end of it aligns with and cooperates with the hook 221 on the push rod 22, and the first limiting step 32 formed on one side wall of the hooking groove 31 abuts against the hook 221, thereby achieving limiting. This design ensures that the plug-in component 3 is stably fixed in the mounting slot 11 after installation, preventing loosening or detachment due to vibration or external force, thus improving the stability and reliability of the device. Simultaneously, when it is necessary to disassemble the plug-in component 3, simply press button 21 to move the push rod 22, causing the hook 221 to disengage from the first limiting step 32, allowing the plug-in component 3 to be easily removed. This simplifies the disassembly process, improves operational convenience and efficiency, reduces the risk of component damage due to improper disassembly, extends the device's service life, and enhances the user experience.

[0029] For better installation and removal of the plug-in component 3, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 In one embodiment, a first guide slope 222 is formed on one side of the hook 221, and a second guide slope 33 is formed on one side wall of the mounting groove 31. The second guide slope 33 is connected to the first limiting step 32 and is located at the opening of the mounting groove 31. By using a first guide slope 222 on one side of the hook 221 and a second guide slope 33 on one side wall of the mounting groove 31, with the second guide slope 33 connected to the first limiting step 32 and located at the opening of the mounting groove 31, the problems of inconvenient operation and potential damage to components during the installation and removal of the plug-in component 3 can be solved. Specifically, when the plug-in component 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the second guide slope 33 and the first guide slope 222 cooperate to guide the hook 221 smoothly into the mounting groove 31 until the first limiting step 32 abuts against the hook 221, thus completing the fixation of the plug-in component 3. This design makes the installation process of the plug-in component 3 smoother, reduces potential damage caused by hard collisions between components, and improves the service life of the components. Simultaneously, when disassembling the plug-in component 3, the cooperation of the first guide slope 222 and the second guide slope 33 makes it easier for the hook 221 to detach from the mounting slot 31, further simplifying the disassembly steps, improving operational convenience and efficiency, reducing the risk of component damage due to improper disassembly, and thus enhancing the reliability of the entire device and the user experience.

[0030] For more details, please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the housing 1 includes a bottom shell 13 and a top cover 14 connected together. The bottom shell 13 has a mounting groove 11 and a mounting base 15, which has a receiving groove 12. The top cover 14 has an opening 141 corresponding to the receiving groove 12, and a portion of the structure of the button 21 is exposed on the top cover 14. By using a housing 1 including a bottom shell 13 and a top cover 14 connected together, with the bottom shell 13 having a mounting groove 11, a mounting base 15, and a receiving groove 12, and the top cover 14 having an opening 141 corresponding to the receiving groove 12, and a portion of the structure of the button 21 exposed on the top cover 14, the problems of inconvenient operation of the button 21 and insufficient overall structural compactness in the quick-release structure 100 can be solved. Specifically, the connection design between the bottom shell 13 and the top cover 14 allows the mounting groove 11 and the receiving groove 12 to be respectively set on the bottom shell 13 and the mounting base 15. This split design ensures structural stability and facilitates the installation and assembly of each component. The mounting base 15 provides an independent installation space for the receiving groove 12, allowing the quick-release assembly to be more stably installed on the housing 1. The opening 141 on the top cover 14 corresponding to the receiving groove 12 allows part of the button 21 structure to be exposed on the top cover 14, facilitating user operation and improving the convenience and intuitiveness of operation. This structural design not only improves the overall compactness and stability of the quick-release structure 100 but also optimizes the user experience, making the entire quick-release structure 100 more practical and user-friendly.

[0031] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the quick-release structure 100 includes a first elastic element 4. A receiving groove 211 is formed on the side of the button 21 facing the bottom wall of the receiving groove 12. The two ends of the first elastic element 4 are respectively connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 12. By employing a quick-release structure 100 including a first elastic element 4, a receiving groove 211 formed on the side of the button 21 facing the bottom wall of the receiving groove 12, and the two ends of the first elastic element 4 being respectively connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 12, the problems of rebound and poor tactile feedback during button 21 operation can be solved. Specifically, the first elastic element 4 provides elastic support for the button 21. When the button 21 is pressed, the first elastic element 4 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy; when the button 21 is released, the first elastic element 4 quickly returns to its original shape, pushing the button 21 back to its initial position, achieving rapid rebound. This design not only ensures the smoothness and reliability of button 21 operation but also provides a good tactile feedback, allowing the user to feel obvious feedback during operation. Meanwhile, the two ends of the first elastic element 4 are connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 211 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 12, respectively. This connection method ensures the stability of the first elastic element 4 during operation and avoids displacement or deformation of the elastic element when subjected to force, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire quick-release structure 100.

[0032] To prevent button 21 from coming loose, please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the opening 141 is formed with a second limiting step 142, and the outer peripheral wall of the button 21 is formed with a third limiting step 212. The second limiting step 142 and the third limiting step 212 abut against each other for limiting. By using a second limiting step 142 formed on the inner peripheral wall of the opening 141 and a third limiting step 212 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the button 21 for limiting, the problem of loosening or falling off the button 21 during installation can be solved, and the stability of the button 21 during operation can be ensured. Specifically, when the button 21 is installed into the opening 141 of the upper cover 14, the third limiting step 212 of the button 21 abuts against the second limiting step 142 on the inner peripheral wall of the opening 141, forming a stable limiting structure. This design not only ensures the stability of button 21 after installation, preventing it from loosening or falling off due to external force or vibration, but also guarantees the stability of button 21 during operation, avoiding any wobbling or displacement that may occur when pressed. Through this limiting structure, button 21 can more precisely engage with the quick-release assembly, improving the operational accuracy and reliability of the entire quick-release structure 100, while also enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0033] To further improve the ease of disassembly of the plug-in component 3, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the quick-release structure 100 includes a main board 5 and two conductive caps 6. The main board 5 is connected to the bottom shell 13. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 has two mounting holes 111 spaced apart. Each conductive cap 6 moves through one of the mounting holes 111 and is elastically connected to the main board 5. By adopting the quick-release structure 100 including the main board 5 and two conductive caps 6, with the main board 5 connected to the bottom shell 13, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 having two mounting holes 111 spaced apart, and each conductive cap 6 moving through one mounting hole 111 and elastically connected to the main board 5, the electrical connection problem between the battery and the quick-release structure 100 can be solved, and the stability and reliability of the electrical connection can be ensured. At the same time, the conductive caps 6 provide a spring force for the removal of the plug-in component 3. Specifically, the connection between the main board 5 and the bottom shell 13 provides a stable electrical foundation for the entire quick-release structure 100, while the two conductive caps 6 respectively pass through the mounting holes 111 and are elastically connected to the main board 5. This design allows the conductive caps 6 to move within the mounting holes 111 while maintaining good electrical contact with the main board 5. When the plug-in component 3 (such as a battery) is inserted into the mounting slot 11, the conductive cap 6 can contact the battery electrodes to achieve electrical connection. The elastic connection design ensures that the contact between the conductive cap 6 and the battery electrodes will not loosen even under vibration or external force, thus guaranteeing the stability of the electrical connection. In addition, the elastic connection of the conductive cap 6 also provides a rebound force for the removal of the plug-in component 3. When the user presses the button 21 to disengage the push rod 22 from the plug-in component 3, the elastic force of the conductive cap 6 can help the plug-in component 3 pop out quickly, further improving the convenience of removing the plug-in component 3. This structure not only improves the electrical performance of the quick-release structure 100, but also enhances the reliability and durability of the entire device, ensuring fast and stable power supply during battery replacement, while also improving the user's operating experience.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the quick-release structure 100 includes two second elastic members 7. The two ends of each second elastic member 7 are respectively connected to the motherboard 5 and a conductive cap 6, and are electrically connected to the motherboard 5 and the conductive cap 6. A fourth limiting step 61 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of each conductive cap 6, and the fourth limiting step 61 abuts against the periphery of the mounting hole 111 for limitation. By employing the quick-release structure 100 including two second elastic members 7, the two ends of each second elastic member 7 being connected to the motherboard 5 and a conductive cap 6, and being electrically connected to the motherboard 5 and the conductive cap 6; and the fourth limiting step 61 being formed on the outer peripheral wall of each conductive cap 6, and abutting against the periphery of the mounting hole 111 for limitation, the problem of fixing the conductive cap 6 within the mounting hole 111 can be solved, and the stability and reliability of the electrical connection can be ensured. Simultaneously, it provides a rebound force for the disassembly of the plug-in component 3. Specifically, the second elastic members 7 provide elastic support for the conductive cap 6, allowing the conductive cap 6 to move within the mounting hole 111 while maintaining good electrical contact with the motherboard 5. When the plug-in component 3 (such as a battery) is inserted into the mounting slot 11, the conductive cap 6 can contact the battery electrodes to achieve electrical connection. The elastic connection design ensures that the contact between the conductive cap 6 and the battery electrodes will not loosen even under vibration or external force, thus ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. In addition, the fourth limiting step 61 on the outer peripheral wall of the conductive cap 6 and the abutment limiting design of the periphery of the mounting hole 111 ensure the stable fixation of the conductive cap 6 in the mounting hole 111, preventing the conductive cap 6 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force during use. This structure not only improves the stability of the electrical connection between the conductive cap 6 and the motherboard 5, but also enhances the reliability and durability of the entire quick-release structure 100, ensuring fast and stable power supply during battery replacement. At the same time, the elastic force of the second elastic member 7 helps the plug-in component 3 to pop out quickly when disassembling the plug-in component 3, further improving the convenience of disassembling the plug-in component 3.

[0035] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment, the bottom shell 13 has a connecting post 131, and the quick-release structure 100 includes a fastener 8 that passes through the motherboard 5 and the connecting post 131 to connect the bottom shell 13 to the motherboard 5. By using a connecting post 131 on the bottom shell 13 and a fastener 8 in the quick-release structure 100, the problem of fixing the motherboard 5 to the bottom shell 13 can be solved, ensuring a stable connection between the two. Specifically, the connecting post 131 on the bottom shell 13 provides an installation position for the fastener 8. The fastener 8 (such as a screw) passes through the motherboard 5 and is tightened onto the connecting post 131, thereby firmly fixing the motherboard 5 to the bottom shell 13. This connection method not only ensures the mechanical stability between the motherboard 5 and the bottom shell 13 but also ensures the reliability of the electrical connection between the two. The fastener 8 ensures a tighter connection between the motherboard 5 and the bottom shell 13, effectively preventing loosening or detachment due to external force or vibration, thus improving the stability and durability of the entire quick-release structure 100. This connection method also facilitates the installation and removal of the motherboard 5, making maintenance and replacement easier, further enhancing the practicality and user experience of the quick-release structure 100.

[0036] This utility model also proposes an aerosol generating device, which includes a quick-release structure 100.

Since this aerosol generating 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 plug-in component 3 can be a battery. The user can simply press the button 21 to drive the push rod 22 to disengage from the battery. At the same time, the elastic force of the second elastic member 7 helps the plug-in component 3 to pop out quickly when disassembling it, further improving the convenience of disassembling the plug-in component 3, thereby quickly removing the battery. This design greatly simplifies the battery replacement operation steps, improves the convenience and efficiency of operation, and reduces the time required for battery replacement. In other embodiments, the plug-in component 3 can also be a heating element or an atomizer; this solution does not limit this.
