Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, specifically to a power supply device and an electronic atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] Most e-cigarette devices on the market currently use a non-removable structure, meaning that components such as the battery and control board cannot be disassembled. These devices are discarded after use. Furthermore, over prolonged use, the battery's charging capacity may decrease, and problems with the control board can affect the device's performance. This means users cannot replace aging or damaged components themselves, forcing them to either discard the device or return it for repair, increasing costs and wasting resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a power supply device, which at least solves the problems of increased cost and resource waste caused by the inability to disassemble the electronic atomizing device. This application also provides an electronic atomizing device including the above-mentioned power supply device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A power supply device, comprising:

[0006] A housing having an open end and a closed end opposite to the open end, a receiving cavity formed within the housing, and a button provided on the side wall of the housing; and,

[0007] A power supply unit is disposed within the receiving cavity and detachably connected to the housing. The power supply unit includes a bracket and a battery and a control board vertically disposed on the bracket. The control board is located on one side of the battery in the thickness direction.

[0008] A clearance space is formed between the control panel and the side wall of the housing. A switch and an interaction component are provided on the side of the control panel facing the clearance space. The switch is provided in correspondence with the button, and the interaction component is located on the side of the switch near the opening end.

[0009] Optionally, the battery is disposed inside the bracket, and the control board is disposed outside the bracket.

[0010] Optionally, the battery and the control board are connected via a BTB connector.

[0011] Optionally, the control board includes a charging interface, and the distance between the charging interface and the housing in the length direction of the housing is L1, and the thickness of the housing is L2, wherein L1 and L2 satisfy: L1+L2≤0.7mm.

[0012] Optionally, in the length direction of the housing, the distance between the battery and the housing is L3, where L3 satisfies: L3≤2.5mm.

[0013] Optionally, the closed end of the housing is detachably connected to the bracket by bolts.

[0014] Optionally, the interactive component includes a button disposed on the housing and connected to the control panel, the button being disposed on the side of the control panel away from the battery.

[0015] Optionally, the control panel includes an indicator light, and when the power supply unit is located inside the housing, the indicator light is located on the side of the button near the opening.

[0016] Optionally, the housing has a hole aligned with the indicator light so that the light emitted by the indicator light is visible in the housing.

[0017] An electronic atomizing device includes the power supply device described in any of the above claims.

[0018] Optionally, the electronic atomizing device further includes an atomizer detachably connected to the housing, wherein the housing cavity is capable of accommodating at least a portion of the atomizer, and the atomizer is electrically connected to both the battery of the power supply unit and the control board.

[0019] The power supply device provided in this application includes a power supply unit and a housing. By detachably connecting the power supply unit and the housing, when the battery's storage capacity decreases or the control board malfunctions during long-term use of the electronic atomizing device, the user can remove the power supply unit from the housing and replace or recycle the battery or control board, thereby reducing the cost of using the electronic atomizing device and avoiding waste of resources.

[0020] Furthermore, the control board is located on one side of the battery thickness direction, reducing the overall volume of the power supply unit, thereby reducing the volume of the power supply device and further reducing the volume of the power supply device.

[0021] In addition, a clearance space is formed between the control panel and the side wall of the housing. A switch and an interaction component are located on the side of the control panel facing this clearance space. The switch and button are correspondingly arranged, and the interaction component is located on the side of the switch near the opening. With this arrangement, when the power supply unit needs to be removed from the housing, a force is applied to the power supply unit towards the opening. Because the interaction component is located on the side of the switch near the opening, it will not interfere with the button during the movement of the power supply unit, reducing the difficulty of removing the power supply unit from the housing and thus improving the efficiency of power supply unit removal.

[0032] This application provides a power supply device, which at least solves the problems of increased cost and resource waste caused by the inability to disassemble electronic atomizing devices. This application also provides an electronic atomizing device including the aforementioned power supply device.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this application embodiment provides a power supply device 1, which supplies power to an atomizer. The power supply device 1 and the atomizer constitute an electronic atomizing device. The electronic atomizing device (also known as an electronic cigarette) is an electronic product that uses electrical energy to drive an atomizing component to heat e-liquid and generate vapor. Its core design is to replace traditional cigarettes. The power supply device 1 mainly includes a housing 12 and a power supply unit 11. The housing 12 has an internal cavity 13 for accommodating the power supply unit 11, and the housing 12 provides a gripping position for the user. The power supply unit 11 includes a bracket 111 and a battery 112 and a control board 113 vertically mounted on the bracket 111. The bracket 111 provides an installation position for the battery 112 and the control board 113 and fixes the battery 112 and the control board 113 so that the battery 112 and the control board 113 are stably installed in the housing 12. The battery 112 provides power to the atomizer to ensure the normal operation of the atomizer. The control board 113 is usually a circuit board, etc., and is used to control the power supply unit 1 and the atomizer. Furthermore, the power supply unit 11 is located in the receiving cavity 13 and is detachably connected to the housing 12. This allows for convenient replacement of faulty components when the battery 112 or the control board 113 degrades or fails due to long-term use of the power supply unit 1, thereby extending the service life of the power supply unit 1.

[0035] Since the height of an electronic atomizing device is typically greater than its thickness, meaning the height of the power supply unit 1 is also greater than its thickness, placing the control board 113 on one side of the battery 112 in the width direction would result in a larger overall volume of the power supply unit 11 compared to placing it on one side in the height direction of the battery 112. This would lead to a larger overall volume of the atomizing device. Therefore, placing the control board 113 on one side of the battery 112 in the thickness direction reduces the overall volume of the power supply unit 11, thereby reducing the volume of the power supply unit 1 and consequently, the overall volume of the power supply unit 1.

[0036] It should be noted that the thickness direction of battery 112 refers to... Figure 2 The direction indicated by the double-headed arrow Z.

[0037] The housing 12 has an open end 121 and a closed end 122. The power supply unit 11 can enter and exit the housing 12 through the open end 121. For example, the direction in which the power supply unit 11 is inserted into the housing 12 from the open end 121 is... Figure 2 The direction indicated by the middle arrow C is the direction in which the power supply unit 11 moves out of the housing 12 from the opening end 121. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the middle arrow D.

[0038] Furthermore, a button 14 is provided on the side wall of the housing 12, and a clearance space is formed between the control plate 113 and the side wall of the housing 12. A switch 1133 and an interaction component 1132 are provided on the side of the control plate 113 facing the clearance space. The switch 1133 is correspondingly arranged with the button 14, and the interaction component 1132 is located on the side of the switch 1133 near the opening end 121. Thus, when it is necessary to replace the components of the power supply unit 11, a force is applied to the power supply unit 11 in the direction indicated by arrow D to move the power supply unit 11 out of the housing 12 from the opening end 121. Then, the components of the power supply unit 11 that need to be replaced are replaced. Afterwards, the replaced power supply unit 11 is inserted into the housing 12 from the opening end 121 in the direction indicated by arrow C, thereby completing the replacement of the power supply unit 11. This arrangement avoids interference between the power supply unit 11 and the button 14 during the process of moving the power supply unit 11 out of or into the housing 12, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the power supply unit 11.

[0039] It should be noted that the type of button 14 is not limited here. Button 14 can be a button for adjusting the on / off state of battery 112 or a button for adjusting the power of battery 112. Here, button 14 is located on the side of control panel 113 away from battery 112, so as to facilitate the connection between button 14 and control panel 113, so that the operator can conveniently control and adjust the power supply device 1.

[0040] Alternatively, button 14 can also be located on the bottom wall of housing 12. It should be noted that when button 14 is located on the bottom wall, since control board 113 is located on the side of battery 112, button 14 acts as a switch for electrical connection with control board 113.

[0041] The power supply device 1 described above includes a power supply unit 11 and a housing 12. By detachably connecting the power supply unit 11 and the housing 12, during prolonged use of the electronic atomizing device, if the battery 112's storage capacity decreases or the control board 113 malfunctions, the user can remove the power supply unit 11 from the housing 12 and replace the faulty or degraded battery 112 or control board 113. This reduces the cost of using the electronic atomizing device and avoids resource waste. Furthermore, by placing the control board 113 on one side of the battery 112 in the height direction, compared to placing it in the width direction of the battery 112, the overall thickness and volume of the power supply unit 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the power supply device 1 and consequently, the overall size of the power supply device 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The battery 112 is housed inside the bracket 111, and the control board 113 is located on the outside of the bracket 111. Specifically, the battery 112 is housed in the hollow area inside the bracket 111, and the control board 113 is located on one side of the bracket 111. Since the control board 113 is the circuit board that controls the operation of the entire electronic atomizing device, the power-consuming components of the control board 113 will generate heat during operation. By arranging the battery 112 and the control board 113 on the bracket 111 in the manner described above, that is, by isolating the battery 112 and the control board 113, the heat generated by the operation of the control board 113 will not be transferred to the location of the battery 112, thereby improving the safety of the battery 112.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The battery 112 and control board 113 are connected via a BTB connector 15. The BTB connector 15 (Board-to-Board Connector) is an electronic component used to connect two or more circuit boards (PCBs), providing both mechanical fixation and electrical signal transmission. Compared to a direct connection between the battery 112 and control board 113 via a battery connector, this method reduces the thickness between the battery 112 and control board 113, thereby reducing the overall size of the battery 112, BTB connector 15, and control board 113, and consequently reducing the size of the charging module and the overall size of the charging device.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control board 113 includes a charging interface 1131. Along the length of the housing 12, the distance between the charging interface 1131 and the housing 12 is L1, and the thickness of the housing 12 is L2, where L1 + L2 ≤ 0.7 mm. Ensuring that the sum of the distance between the charging interface 1131 and the housing 12 and the thickness of the housing 12 meets the above range reduces both the distance and the thickness of the housing 12, thus reducing the assembly gap between them. This reduces the overall length dimension of the power supply device 1 and consequently the overall volume of the electronic atomizing device. Furthermore, reducing the gap between the charging interface 1131 and the housing 12 facilitates efficient charging of the battery 112 in the charging device by the charger.

[0045] It should be noted that the length direction of the shell 12 refers to... Figure 4 The direction indicated by the double-headed arrow Y.

[0046] For example, the distance L1 between the charging interface 1131 and the housing 12 along the length direction of the housing 12 can be 0.05mm, 0.08mm, 0.1mm, 0.12mm, 0.15mm, 0.18mm, 0.2mm, etc. The thickness of the housing 12 can be 0.4mm, 0.42mm, 0.45mm, 0.5mm, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Along the length of the housing 12, the distance between the battery 112 and the housing 12 is L3, where L3 satisfies: L3 ≤ 2.5 mm. Ensuring that the distance between the battery 112 and the housing 12 meets this range reduces the assembly gap between them, thereby reducing the overall length dimension of the power supply device 1 and consequently reducing the overall volume of the electronic atomizing device. Furthermore, this distance also absorbs the expansion of the battery 112 during operation, ensuring the safety of the battery 112 during use.

[0048] For example, the distance between the battery 112 and the housing 12 can be 2.5mm, 2.4mm, 2.2mm, 2mm, 1.8mm, 1.5mm, 1.2mm, 1mm, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The closed end 122 of the housing 12 is detachably connected to the bracket 111 by bolts. Specifically, during prolonged use of the electronic atomizing device, if a component in the power supply unit 11 within the power supply device 1 of the electronic atomizing device is damaged or malfunctions and needs replacement, the following steps are taken: First, the bolts connecting the sealed end and the bracket 111 are removed to disconnect the housing 12 and the power supply unit 11. Then, the operator applies force towards the open end 121 to remove the power supply unit 11 from the housing 12. Next, the damaged or malfunctioning component in the power supply unit 11 is replaced. Then, the power supply unit 11 is inserted into the housing 12 from the open end 121. Finally, after the power supply unit 11 abuts against the housing 12, the housing 12 and the bracket 111 are installed together by bolts. Here, by using bolts to connect the sealed end of the housing 12 and the bracket 111, the convenience of detachable connection is improved, and the stability of the connection between the housing 12 and the bracket 111 is enhanced.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The interactive component 1132 includes an indicator light. With the power supply unit 11 located inside the housing 12, the indicator light is positioned on the side of the button 14 near the opening end 121. Specifically, since the indicator light is small, this arrangement will not interfere with the removal of the power supply unit 11 from the housing 12. This allows the power supply device button 14 and the indicator light to be positioned on the same side of the housing 12, reducing the space occupied by the button 14 and the indicator light, reducing the product width, and further reducing the volume of the power supply device 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The housing 12 has a hole 123 aligned with the indicator light, so that the light emitted by the indicator light can be displayed on the housing 12. It should be noted that the information displayed is not limited here; the indicator light can display the power supply information of the power supply device 1, or the power information of the power supply device 1, etc. This arrangement allows the user of the power supply device 1 to clearly and accurately observe the information displayed by the indicator light and to obtain the status of the power supply device 1 based on the light information.

[0052] In addition, the portion of the housing 12 that is aligned with the indicator light can also be a visible structure, such as the housing 12 being made of transparent material, so that the actual lighting information displayed by the indicator light can be seen by the user.

[0053] The application also provides an electronic atomizing device including the power supply device 1 in the above embodiments. Since the electronic atomizing device includes the power supply device 1 mentioned in the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of the power supply device 1 on the electronic atomizing device are as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0054] In some embodiments, an atomizer is included, which is detachably connected to the housing 12. The receiving cavity 13 of the housing 12 can accommodate at least a portion of the atomizer, and the atomizer is electrically connected to the battery 112 and control board 113 of the power supply unit 11. Specifically, the electronic atomizing device also includes a microphone and an air intake channel. When a user vapes through the electronic atomizing device, the user inhales into the mouthpiece of the electronic atomizing device. The airflow enters the air intake channel from the outside of the electronic atomizing device through the air intake hole 123. During the flow of gas in the air intake channel, a signal is sent to the microphone. The microphone controls the control board 113 and the battery 112 to operate so that the atomizer is in working condition. The atomizer atomizes the e-liquid into an aerogel. The gas flows along the air intake channel to the location of the atomizer, carrying the aerogel to the mouthpiece position where it is inhaled by the user. In this way, the user completes the inhalation of the vapor.
