[0013] Optionally, the electronic atomizing device further includes a flexible seal surrounding the air outlet, the flexible seal providing a seal between the housing and the atomizer.

[0014] Optionally, the receiving groove has a first section and a second section along the direction of the elastic member toward the atomizer, the first section is located behind the second section, the width of the first section is smaller than the width of the atomizer, and the width of the second section is larger than the width of the atomizer.

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted by this utility model is: providing a power supply mechanism, including a housing, a power supply component, and an elastic member.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-4One embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic atomizing device 100, including a housing 1, a power supply assembly 2, an atomizer 3, and an elastic member 4. The housing 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11, which penetrates the first side wall of the housing 1. The power supply assembly 2 is movable relative to the housing 1 between a first position and a second position. The atomizer 3 includes a liquid storage chamber 31 for storing a liquid matrix and an atomizing element 32 for atomizing the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol. The atomizer 3 is removably disposed in the receiving groove 11 and is detachably connected to the power supply assembly 2. The elastic member 4 abuts against or connects between the housing 1 and the power supply assembly 2. The elastic member 4 is used to hold the power supply assembly 2 in the first position so that the atomizer 3 is clamped by the power supply assembly 2 and the housing 1 and thus fixed in the receiving groove 11. When the power supply assembly 2 is in the second position, the atomizer 3 is released, thereby facilitating the replacement of the atomizer 3. The power assembly 2 is held in the first position by the elastic member 4, so that the atomizer 3 is held in the receiving groove 11 by the power assembly 2 and the housing 1. Therefore, when the user replaces the atomizer 3, the user drives the power assembly 2 to move to the second position, removes the original atomizer 3 and installs the new atomizer 3, releases the power assembly 2 and the elastic member 4 pushes the power assembly 2 to move to the first position and holds it, making the operation of replacing the atomizer 3 interesting and improving the user's experience of using the electronic atomizing device 100.

[0034] Furthermore, this method can make the electrical connection between the power supply assembly 2 and the atomizer 3 more reliable and stable under the elastic force of the elastic element 4.

[0035] In some embodiments, the atomizing element 32 includes a liquid guiding element (not shown) and a heating element attached to the liquid guiding element. The liquid guiding element is used to absorb the liquid matrix in the liquid storage chamber 32 and the absorbed liquid matrix is ​​transferred to the heating element, which can heat and atomize the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol.

[0036] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the atomizing element 32 includes an atomizing plate (not shown), and a liquid guiding element transfers the liquid matrix to the atomizing plate, thereby atomizing the liquid matrix through the high-frequency vibration of the atomizing plate to generate an aerosol.

[0037] In some embodiments, the elastic element 4 is a compression spring, a disc spring, a nitrogen spring, or a spring sheet.

[0038] In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 100 further includes a cover plate (not shown) disposed on a first side wall of the housing 1, the cover plate being used to cover or expose the atomizer 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-3The receiving groove 11 penetrates the second side wall of the housing 1, and the second side wall is opposite to the first side wall. The power assembly 2 is exposed in the receiving groove 11, which is conducive to the user's fingers to hold the power assembly 2 and drive the power assembly 2 to move. It provides space for disassembly and assembly, so that the original atomizer 3 can be loosened and removed so that the new atomizer 3 can be placed in the receiving groove 11, which is conducive to the user's operation.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The atomizer 3 includes an electrical connector 33 for electrical connection with the power supply assembly 2. The electrical connector 33 is electrically connected to the atomizing element 32 so that the power supply assembly 2 supplies electrical energy to the atomizing element 32 through the electrical connector 33, thereby causing the atomizing element 32 to be energized and heated to atomize the liquid matrix. The electrical connector 33 is arranged in a ring shape, which facilitates the alignment and electrical connection between the electrical connector 33 and the power supply assembly 2, eliminating the need for the user to specifically position the atomizer 3, thus benefiting the user's operation.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The power supply assembly 2 includes an electrode 21, which is electrically connected to the electrical connector 33.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The housing 1 is provided with a mounting bracket 12, and the mounting bracket 12 is provided with a first receiving groove 121. A portion of the elastic member 4 is received in the first receiving groove 121, and the elastic member 4 abuts against or is connected to the bottom of the first receiving groove 121. By having a portion of the elastic member 4 received in the first receiving groove 121, the elastic member 4 is prevented from detaching from the housing 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The power supply assembly 2 is provided with a second receiving groove 221, which connects to the first receiving groove 121. The other part of the elastic member 4 and a portion of the mounting bracket 12 are received in the second receiving groove 221, with the elastic member 4 abutting against or connected to the bottom of the second receiving groove 221. The inclusion of the other part of the elastic member 4 in the second receiving groove 221 prevents the elastic member 4 from detaching from the power supply assembly 2. The inclusion of a portion of the mounting bracket 12 in the second receiving groove 221 provides movement space for the power supply assembly 2, preventing movement interference between the power supply assembly 2 and the mounting bracket 12.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The outer wall of the power supply assembly 2 is provided with a sliding groove 222, and the side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an insertion part 13. The insertion part 13 is inserted into the sliding groove 222 so that the power supply assembly 2 can slide along the insertion part 13. By the insertion part 13 abutting against the third or fourth side wall of the sliding groove 222, the power supply assembly 2 is positioned in a first position or a second position, that is, the movement of the power supply assembly 2 between the first position and the second position is limited. The third side wall and the fourth side wall are arranged opposite to each other.

[0045] In some embodiments, the number of slides 222 and the number of plugs 13 are both two, with the two slides 222 arranged opposite to each other and the two plugs 13 arranged opposite to each other.

[0046] It is understood that in some embodiments, the power supply assembly 2 is positioned in a second position by the mounting bracket 12 abutting against the bottom of the second receiving slot 221.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4-6 One of the power supply assembly 2 and the atomizer 3 is provided with a first groove 341, and the other is provided with a first protrusion 223. The first protrusion 223 is inserted into the first groove 341, thereby positioning the atomizer 3 and preventing the atomizer 3 from disengaging from the power supply assembly 2 when the power supply assembly 2 is in the first position. As an example, the atomizer 3 is provided with the first groove 341, the electrical connector 33 is provided in the first groove 341, the power supply assembly 2 is provided with the first protrusion 223, and the electrode 21 is provided in the first protrusion 223.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The housing 1 is provided with a mouthpiece 14 for aerosol to escape from the electronic atomizing device 100. The mouthpiece 14 is used to communicate with the air outlet 342 of the atomizer 3 so that the aerosol flows from the air outlet 342 of the atomizer 3 to the mouthpiece 14.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 One of the housing 1 and the atomizer 3 is provided with a second groove 15, and the other is provided with a second protrusion 351. The second protrusion 351 is inserted into the second groove 15 so that the air outlet 342 of the atomizer 3 and the airflow channel 141 in the mouthpiece 14 are aligned and flow through, and the atomizer 3 is positioned to prevent the atomizer 3 from detaching from the housing 1 when the power assembly 2 is in the first position.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The electronic atomizing device 100 also includes a flexible seal (not shown) disposed between the atomizer 3 and the housing 1. The flexible seal surrounds the air outlet 342 of the atomizer 3. The flexible seal can be made of flexible materials such as silicone, rubber, or latex, allowing it to elastically abut against the atomizer 3 and the housing 1. This provides a seal between the atomizer 3 and the housing 1, ensuring that aerosol only escapes from the air outlet 342 and enters the mouthpiece 14, preventing leakage of aerosol from the assembly gap between the atomizer 3 and the housing 1. Furthermore, the flexible seal also acts as a buffer for the atomizer 3, preventing it from colliding directly with the housing 1 under elastic force and causing damage.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The receiving groove 11 has a first section 111 and a second section 112 (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown by the dotted lines), along the direction of the elastic element 4 toward the atomizer 2, the first section 111 is located behind the second section 112, and the width of the first section 111 is smaller than the width of the second section 112. Specifically, the width of the first section 111 is smaller than the width of the atomizer 3, while the width of the second section 112 is larger than the width of the atomizer 3. Therefore, when it is necessary to install the atomizer 3, the user can first press the power assembly 2 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the atomizer 3 is fully exposed in the second section 112. Then, under the elastic force of the elastic element, the atomizer 3 enters into the first section 111. Since the width of the first section 111 is smaller than the width of the atomizer 3, the atomizer 3 can be locked in the receiving groove 11, preventing the atomizer 3 from falling out of the receiving groove 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The atomizer 3 also includes an atomizing shell 34, which is provided with the aforementioned air outlet 342. The atomizing element 32 is disposed inside the atomizing shell 34. The atomizing element 32 and the atomizing shell 34 define a liquid storage chamber 31. One of the atomizing shell 34 and the housing 1 is provided with the aforementioned second groove 15, and the other is provided with the aforementioned second protrusion 343.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The power supply assembly 2 also includes a power supply (not shown) and a power supply housing 22. The power supply is disposed inside the power supply housing 22 and is electrically connected to the electrode 21. The power supply is rechargeable and can be charged by being electrically connected to an external power supply. Of course, the power supply can also be disposable. The power supply housing 22 is provided with the aforementioned second receiving groove 221 and sliding groove 222. One of the atomizing shell 34 and the power supply housing 22 is provided with the aforementioned first groove 341, and the other is provided with the aforementioned first protrusion 223.

[0054] This utility model also provides an embodiment of a power supply mechanism, which includes the aforementioned housing 1, the aforementioned power supply component 2, and the aforementioned elastic member 4. The housing 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11, which penetrates the first side wall of the housing 1. The receiving groove 11 is used for housing the atomizer 3. The power supply component 2 can move relative to the housing 1 between a first position and a second position. The elastic member 4 abuts against or connects between the housing 1 and the power supply component 2. The elastic member 4 is used to hold the power supply component 2 in the first position so that the atomizer 3 is clamped by the power supply component 2 and the housing 1 and thus held in the receiving groove 11.
