Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of aerosol atomization, and in particular to a snap-fit ​​structure for an aerosol bottle and an aerosol generator. Background Technology

[0002] An aerosol generator is used to atomize aerosols, including an oil bottle for storing aerosol liquid, an atomizing component for atomizing the liquid, and a base housing for supporting and fixing the components.

[0003] The connection between the oil bottle and the atomizing component mostly relies on a threaded structure. The threaded connection requires multiple rotations to complete the connection, making the assembly relatively cumbersome. The oil bottle body is cylindrical, and the cylindrical oil bottle needs to occupy a certain radius space. The oil bottle has low space utilization in the narrow base shell edge area.

[0004] For example, prior art document CN202310674998.2 discloses a replaceable e-liquid bottle electronic cigarette, including an atomizer body, an atomizing core for absorbing e-liquid and heating it for atomization, and an e-liquid storage chamber; an e-liquid bottle, which is detachably connected to the atomizer body. However, in this design, the e-liquid bottle is connected to the atomizer body via a threaded connection, and the cylindrical shape of the e-liquid bottle results in low space utilization in the narrow base housing edge area. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a snap-fit ​​structure for an aerosol bottle and an aerosol generator that allows for rapid assembly and improves utilization and storage capacity.

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A snap-fit ​​structure for an aerosol bottle includes:

[0008] An atomizing component, wherein the atomizing component is provided with a connecting tube for introducing aerosol;

[0009] A connector for connecting an atomizing assembly, wherein a portion of the connector is sleeved on the connecting tube, and an overturned portion is provided at the end of the connector facing away from the atomizing assembly;

[0010] The base assembly includes a base shell, a base bracket, and an oil bottle. The oil bottle includes an irregularly shaped body and a bottle mouth. The irregularly shaped body is used to store aerosols. The base bracket is installed inside the base shell and has an irregularly shaped mounting groove. The contour of the irregularly shaped mounting groove is adapted to the outer edge of the base shell. The irregularly shaped body is installed in the irregularly shaped mounting groove. The bottle mouth has a snap-fit ​​groove, and the inverted part snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove. The bottle mouth is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0011] In one embodiment, the irregularly shaped bottle body has an embedding groove, the connector has an embedding block protruding from it, and one end of the embedding block is embedded in the embedding groove.

[0012] In one embodiment, a first limiting block is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting pipe portion, the first limiting block extends circumferentially along the connecting pipe portion, the connecting member has a first limiting groove, and the first limiting block is installed in the first limiting groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, a second limiting block is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting pipe portion, the second limiting block extends radially along the connecting pipe portion, and a second limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the connector, the second limiting block being adapted to be embedded in the second limiting groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, the undercut portion has a plurality of undercut grooves, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the connector.

[0015] In one embodiment, the irregular mounting slot is located on the side of the base bracket that is off-center.

[0016] In one embodiment, the outer edge of the base housing in the circumferential direction has a curved surface structure.

[0017] In one embodiment, the circumferential direction of the irregularly shaped bottle body includes multiple connecting sides, which are sequentially connected by arc surfaces.

[0018] In one embodiment, the base assembly further includes a sealing ring sandwiched between the connecting tube portion and the bottle neck portion.

[0019] An aerosol generator includes a snap-fit ​​structure for the aerosol bottle as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0021] The aforementioned snap-fit ​​structure of the aerosol bottle directly engages with the snap-fit ​​groove at the bottle mouth via the inverted part of the connector, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly between the atomizing component and the oil bottle. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to adapt to the threads at the bottle mouth, improving the bottle's versatility. The contour of the irregularly shaped mounting groove fits the outer edge of the base housing, and the irregularly shaped bottle body is installed within the groove, ensuring a tight fit between the bottle body and the mounting groove. This improves the utilization of space within the base housing, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the irregularly shaped bottle body. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it is a snap-fit ​​structure 10 of an aerosol bottle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, including an atomizing component 100, a connector 200 and a base assembly 300. The atomizing component 100 is provided with a connecting tube 110, which is used to introduce aerosol.

[0031] Further, the connector 200 is used to connect the atomizing assembly 100, and a portion of the connector 200 is sleeved on the connecting tube portion 110. An inverted portion 210 is provided at the end of the connector 200 facing away from the atomizing assembly 100. The base assembly 300 includes a base housing 310, a base bracket 320, and an oil bottle 330. The oil bottle 330 includes an irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331 and a bottle mouth portion 332. The irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331 is used to store aerosols. The base bracket 320 is installed inside the base housing 310. The base bracket 320 has an irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201. The contour of the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201 is adapted to the outer edge of the base housing 310. The irregularly shaped bottle body 331 is installed inside the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201. The bottle mouth 332 has a fastening groove 3301. The inverted part 210 fastens into the fastening groove 3301. The bottle mouth 332 is connected to the connecting pipe part 110.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the atomizing component 100 needs to be connected to the oil bottle 330, the connector 200 is fixed on the connecting tube 110 of the atomizing component 100, the bottle mouth 332 of the oil bottle 330 is aligned with the connector 200, and the inverted part 210 of the connector 200 is inserted into the fastening groove 3301 of the bottle mouth 332 of the oil bottle 330 to complete the locking; the cross-section of the irregular bottle body 331 and the irregular mounting groove 3201 is non-circular, and the irregular bottle body 331 is fitted and installed in the irregular mounting groove 3201 in a specific position to complete the assembly, prevent the irregular bottle body 331 from being misaligned, and provide a stable radial positioning. The irregular mounting groove 3201 fits the contour of the base housing 310, so that the irregular bottle body 331 has a greater space utilization rate in the base housing 310, reducing space waste, so as to accommodate a larger capacity irregular bottle body 331.

[0033] The aforementioned aerosol bottle snap-fit ​​structure 10 directly snaps into the bottle mouth portion 332 of the oil bottle 330 via the inverted buckle portion 210 of the connector 200, achieving rapid assembly and disassembly between the atomizing component 100 and the oil bottle 330. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to adapt to the threads of the bottle mouth portion 332 of the oil bottle 330, thus improving the versatility of the oil bottle 330. The contour of the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201 is adapted to the outer edge of the base housing 310, and the irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331 is installed in the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201, ensuring a tight fit between the irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331 and the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201. This improves the space utilization within the base housing 310, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the irregularly shaped bottle body 331 has an insert groove 3302, and the connector 200 has a protruding insert block 220, one end of which is inserted into the insert groove 3302. In this embodiment, when the bottle mouth 332 is fastened to the undercut portion 210 of the connector 200, the insert block 220 is simultaneously inserted into the insert groove 3302. The insert block 220 limits the rotation of the irregularly shaped bottle body 331, and together with the undercut portion 210, forms a axial and circumferential fixation of the oil bottle 330, improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the connector 200 and the oil bottle 330.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a first limiting block 111 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the connecting pipe portion 110. The first limiting block 111 extends circumferentially along the connecting pipe portion 110. The connecting member 200 has a first limiting groove 201, and the first limiting block 111 is installed in the first limiting groove 201. In this embodiment, the connecting member 200 is fixed to the connecting pipe portion 110 by the cooperation between the first limiting block 111 and the first limiting groove 201. It can be understood that there are multiple first limiting grooves 201 and first limiting blocks 111. Multiple first limiting grooves 201 are spaced apart circumferentially along the connecting member 200, and multiple first limiting blocks 111 are spaced apart circumferentially along the connecting pipe portion 110. Each first limiting block 111 is adapted to be installed in the corresponding first limiting groove 201. Through the cooperation of multiple first limiting grooves 201 and second limiting blocks 112, the connection strength between the connecting member 200 and the connecting pipe portion 110 is improved.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, a second limiting block 112 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the connecting pipe portion 110. The second limiting block 112 extends radially along the connecting pipe portion 110, and a second limiting groove 202 is formed on the inner wall of the connector 200. The second limiting block 112 is adapted to be embedded in the second limiting groove 202. In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the second limiting block 112 and the second limiting groove 202, the second limiting block 112 prevents the connector 200 from rotating, further enhancing the axial and radial stability of the connector 200 and the connecting pipe portion 110, thus fixing the relative position between the connector 200 and the connecting pipe portion 110.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the undercut portion 210 has a plurality of undercut grooves 2101, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the connector 200. In this embodiment, the plurality of undercut grooves 2101 disperse the stress of the undercut portion 210, avoid stress concentration, and make the undercut on the undercut portion 210 easier to deform, thereby improving the durability of the undercut portion 210. When fastened, the plurality of undercut grooves 2101 make the undercut portion 210 more flexibly adapt to the fastening groove 3301 of the bottle mouth portion 332.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201 is located on the off-center side of the base bracket 320, and the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201 is adapted to the outer edge contour of the base housing 310. In this embodiment, the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201 is located on the off-center side of the base bracket 320, making full use of the space at the edge of the base housing 310, reducing the occupation of the central area, reserving more space for components such as batteries and circuit boards, thereby improving the compactness of the structure.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer edge of the base housing 310 is a curved surface. In this embodiment, the curved surface of the outer edge of the base housing 310 reduces the material used in the base housing 310 and enhances its structural strength. The curved surface also improves the user's grip comfort and operability.

[0040] As shown in one embodiment, the irregularly shaped bottle body 331 includes multiple connecting side surfaces 3311 circumferentially, which are sequentially connected by arc surfaces. In this embodiment, the multiple connecting side surfaces 3311 constitute the main support structure of the irregularly shaped bottle body 331, allowing the irregularly shaped bottle body 331 to be installed at a specific angle within the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201. The arc surface connection eliminates the sharp angles between the multiple connecting side surfaces 3311, and the arc surface can guide the assembly of the irregularly shaped bottle body 331, thereby reducing assembly resistance.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the base assembly 300 further includes a sealing ring 340, which is sandwiched between the connecting tube portion 110 and the bottle mouth portion 332. In this embodiment, when the bottle mouth portion 332 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​portion, the bottle mouth portion 332 abuts against the sealing ring 340, causing the sealing ring 340 to be compressed between the connecting tube portion 110 and the bottle mouth portion 332 to form a sealing barrier, preventing leakage of the aerosol from the oil bottle 330 during its entry into the atomizing assembly 100.

[0042] This application also provides an aerosol generator, including the snap-fit ​​structure 10 for the aerosol bottle as described in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure for the aerosol bottle simplifies the assembly of the aerosol generator and increases its aerosol capacity.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0044] The aforementioned aerosol bottle snap-fit ​​structure 10 directly snaps into the bottle mouth portion 332 of the oil bottle 330 via the inverted buckle portion 210 of the connector 200, achieving rapid assembly and disassembly between the atomizing component 100 and the oil bottle 330. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to adapt to the threads of the bottle mouth portion 332 of the oil bottle 330, thus improving the versatility of the oil bottle 330. The contour of the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201 is adapted to the outer edge of the base housing 310, and the irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331 is installed in the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201, ensuring a tight fit between the irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331 and the irregularly shaped mounting groove 3201. This improves the space utilization within the base housing 310, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the irregularly shaped bottle body portion 331.

[0045] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
