[0002] Electronic atomizing devices typically consist of an atomizing component and a battery component. The atomizing component contains an electrothermal element for atomizing e-liquid. Electrical energy is supplied to the heating element via a battery within the battery component, causing the element to heat up and convert electrical energy into heat energy, thus atomizing the e-liquid into vapor for inhalation. Electronic atomizing devices do not produce open flames during use, effectively improving fire resistance. Furthermore, because they do not burn, they provide a pure tobacco flavor, satisfying smokers' needs.

[0003] The battery assembly, as the core power supply component of an electronic atomizing device, typically includes a housing, a control board, and a battery. Both the control board and battery are housed within a battery sleeve. The control board has mounting holes, and the housing has threaded grooves. During production, screws are inserted into the threaded grooves after passing through the mounting holes on the control board, thus securing the circuit board. The battery is arranged side-by-side with the control board and electrically connected to provide power to the heating element. However, this structure is inconvenient to assemble and results in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0010] In one embodiment, the side of the second fixing post is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the surface of the second fixing post facing the circuit board is a plane, and the surface of the second fixing post facing the circuit board abuts against the circuit board.

[0012] In one embodiment, the battery assembly further includes a second fixing screw. The bottom wall of the receiving groove extends toward the opening of the receiving groove to form a third fixing post and a fourth fixing post. A second fixing groove is formed between the third fixing post, the fourth fixing post and the bottom wall of the receiving groove. A second connecting groove is provided on the end face of the third fixing post facing the opening of the receiving groove. A first end of the circuit board extends into the first fixing groove, and a second end of the circuit board extends into the second fixing groove.

[0015] Secondly, this application also provides an electronic atomizing device, including an atomizing component and a battery component connected to the atomizing component, wherein the battery component is used to provide electrical energy to the atomizing component so that the atomizing component atomizes e-liquid to form smoke, wherein the battery component is any of the battery components described above.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This utility model forms a first fixing post and a second fixing post extending from the bottom wall of the receiving groove towards the groove opening.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-8One embodiment of this application provides a battery assembly 100 for use in combination with an atomizing assembly 200 to form an electronic atomizing device. The battery assembly 100 includes a battery mounting housing 11, a circuit board 12, a first fixing screw 13, a second fixing screw 14, a battery 15, a first light source 16, a second light source 17, a display module 18, a first diffuser 191, and a second diffuser 192. The battery mounting housing 11 includes a receiving housing portion 111, a connecting arm portion 112, and an auxiliary fixing portion 113. The receiving housing portion 111 is provided with a receiving groove 1110, and the opening of the receiving groove 1110 faces the atomizing assembly 200. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 1110 extends toward the opening of the receiving groove 1110 to form a first fixing post 1111, a second fixing post 1112, a third fixing post 1113, a fourth fixing post 1114, a first support arm 1115, a second support arm 1116 and a third support arm 1117. A first fixing groove 1118 is formed between the first fixing post 1111, the second fixing post 1112 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 1110. The first fixing groove 1118 is approximately U-shaped.

[0026] The first fixing post 1111 has a first connecting groove 11111 on its end face facing the opening of the receiving groove 1110. The groove wall of the first connecting groove 11111 has a notch 11112, which is located between the first fixing post 1111 and the second fixing post 1112 and communicates with the first fixing groove 1118. The side of the second fixing post 1112 is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 1110. Therefore, this not only increases the reliability of the second fixing post 1112 structure but also reduces its volume, thereby increasing the volume and capacity of the battery 15.

[0027] The surface of the second fixing post 1112 facing the circuit board 12 is flat, and this surface abuts against the circuit board 12, thus increasing the contact area and making the fixation more reliable. A second fixing groove 1119 is formed between the third fixing post 1113, the fourth fixing post 1114, and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 1110. The second fixing groove 1119 is approximately U-shaped and is located on the same side of the receiving groove 1110 as the first fixing groove 1118. A second connecting groove 11131 is provided on the end face of the third fixing post 1113 facing the opening of the receiving groove 1110. In this embodiment, the third fixing post 1113 has the same structure as the first fixing post 1111, and the fourth fixing post 1114 has the same structure as the second fixing post 1112.

[0028] The first end of the first support arm 1115 is connected to the second support arm 1116, and the second end of the first support arm 1115 is connected to the third support arm 1117. The second support arm 1116 and the third support arm 1117 are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The battery 15 is placed on the first support arm 1115, the second support arm 1116, and the third support arm 1117, thus not only avoiding blockage of the air passage but also preventing leakage of fumes from adhering to it. Specifically, the end faces of the second support arm 1116 and the third support arm 1117 facing the battery 15 are each provided with an arc-shaped bayonet 11161. The end of the battery 15 is placed in the bayonet 11161 and located in the receiving groove 1110, thus making it easier to assemble the battery 15 during production. Since the first end of the first support arm 1115 is connected to the second support arm 1116, and the second end of the first support arm 1115 is connected to the third support arm 1117, the reliability of the support can be improved.

[0029] The receiving groove 1110 has an observation hole 111a, a first light-transmitting hole 111b, and a second light-transmitting hole 111c on its groove wall. The observation hole 111a is located between the first light-transmitting hole 111b and the second light-transmitting hole 111c, and the observation hole 111a, the first light-transmitting hole 111b, and the second light-transmitting hole 111c penetrate the inner and outer wall surfaces of the receiving groove 1110. The observation hole 111a has a fastening hole 111d on its wall, which communicates with the receiving groove 1110. The outer wall of the receiving shell 111 has a limiting step 111e, a first positioning groove 111f, and a second positioning groove 111g. The limiting step 111e has a first insertion groove 111h and a second insertion groove 111i, which are spaced apart. The first positioning groove 111f is located at the opening of one end of the first light-transmitting hole 111b and is arranged around the opening of the first light-transmitting hole 111b. The second positioning groove 111g is located at the opening of one end of the second light-transmitting hole 111c and is arranged around the opening of the second light-transmitting hole 111c.

[0030] The connecting arm 112 is connected to the sidewalls of the first fixing post 1111 and the receiving groove 1110, thus preventing the first fixing post 1111 from tilting when subjected to external pressure. The auxiliary fixing part 113 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the first fixing post 1111 and abuts against the surface of the circuit board 12 facing away from the second fixing post 1112, thus improving the reliability of the circuit board 12 positioning. The notch 11112 extends longitudinally along the first fixing post 1111 and is located between the connecting arm 112 and the auxiliary fixing part 113.

[0031] Circuit board 12 is located within receiving groove 1110, with its first end extending into first fixing groove 1118 and its second end extending into second fixing groove 1119. Circuit board 12 is arranged side-by-side with battery 15. The first end of first fixing screw 13 is inserted into first connecting groove 11111, and the second end of first fixing screw 13 is located outside first connecting groove 11111 and is fastened to circuit board 12, i.e., the screw head of first fixing screw 13 is fastened to circuit board 12. The first end of second fixing screw 14 is inserted into second connecting groove 11131, and the second end of second fixing screw 14 is located outside second connecting groove 11131 and is fastened to circuit board 12, i.e., the screw head of second fixing screw 14 is fastened to circuit board 12.

[0032] In other words, the circuit board 12 is fixed by the first fixing screw 13 and the second fixing screw 14 in conjunction with the first fixing groove 1118 and the second fixing groove 1119, eliminating the need for drilling holes or additional connecting components on the circuit board 12. This not only facilitates assembly and ensures reliable fixing but also simplifies the manufacturing process and improves production efficiency. Because the first connecting groove 11111 has a notch 11112 in its wall, located between the first fixing post 1111 and the second fixing post 1112 and communicating with the first fixing groove 1118, the contact area between the screw head of the first fixing screw 13 and the circuit board 12 can be increased, resulting in a more secure and reliable connection.

[0033] Both the first light source 16 and the second light source 17 are mounted on the circuit board 12. The first light source 16 corresponds to the position of the first light-transmitting hole 111b, and the light emitted by the first light source 16 can be emitted through the first light-transmitting hole 111b. The second light source 17 corresponds to the position of the second light-transmitting hole 111c, and the light emitted by the second light source 17 can be emitted through the second light-transmitting hole 111c. The first light source 16 and the second light source 17 can each be composed of one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

[0034] The display module 18 is connected to the circuit board 12 and corresponds to the position of the observation hole 111a. It can be used to display information such as the remaining e-liquid level and battery level. Since the display module 18 is located between the first light source 16 and the second light source 17, even though the display surface of the display module 18 is relatively small, it can quickly attract the user and allow the user to observe the display screen on the display module 18. The first light diffuser 191 is located on the outer wall surface of the housing portion 111 and covers the opening at one end of the first light-transmitting hole 111b. The second light diffuser 192 is located on the outer wall surface of the housing portion 111 and covers the opening at one end of the second light-transmitting hole 111c. Therefore, it can not only increase the light-emitting area, but also concentrate the light within a preset range as much as possible. The first light diffuser 191 is at least partially inserted into the first positioning groove 111f, and the second light diffuser 192 is at least partially inserted into the second positioning groove 111g, so the fixation is relatively stable and reliable, and it is easy to assemble.

[0035] The battery assembly 100 also includes a light shield 193 that abuts against the limiting step 111e and is connected to the atomizing assembly 200. The light shield 193 is installed on the outer wall of the housing portion 111 and covers one end of the observation hole 111a, the first light-transmitting hole 111b, and the second light-transmitting hole 111c. The light shield 193 can be made of a translucent plastic material to prevent glare. The light shield 193 includes a light shield portion 1931 and a fastening arm portion 1932. The light shield portion 1931 is located on the outer wall of the housing portion 111 and covers one end of the observation hole 111a, the first light-transmitting hole 111b, and the second light-transmitting hole 111c. The first end of the fastening arm 1932 is connected to the light shield 1931, and the other end of the fastening arm 1932 extends into the receiving groove 1110 through the fastening hole 111d to fasten and connect with the groove wall of the receiving groove 1110, which makes assembly easier.

[0036] The light-shielding member 193 also includes a first insertion arm 1933 and a second insertion arm 1934. The first end of the first insertion arm 1933 is connected to the first end of the light-shielding plate 1931, and the second end of the first insertion arm 1933 is inserted into the first insertion groove 111h. The first end of the second insertion arm 1934 is connected to the second end of the light-shielding plate 1931, and the second end of the second insertion arm 1934 is inserted into the second insertion groove 111i, thereby increasing reliability. The light-shielding member 193 is limited by the limiting step 111e, so that even if it is dropped, the light-shielding member 193 is not easy to fall off.

[0037] In addition, the battery assembly 100 also includes a light-blocking member 194, which is located within the receiving groove 1110 and between the circuit board 12 and the side wall of the receiving groove 1110. The light-blocking member 194 is provided with a receiving hole 1941, a third light-transmitting hole 1942, and a fourth light-transmitting hole 1943. The receiving hole 1941 corresponds to the position of the observation hole 111a, and the display module 18 extends into the receiving hole 1941. Therefore, the hole wall of the receiving hole 1941 can block the light from the display module 18 from escaping to both sides. The third light-transmitting hole 1942 corresponds to the position of the first light-transmitting hole 111b, and the fourth light-transmitting hole 1943 corresponds to the position of the second light-transmitting hole 111c. The first light source 16 extends into the third light-transmitting hole 1942, and the second light source 17 extends into the fourth light-transmitting hole 1943, thus preventing the light from spreading everywhere. Preferably, the light-blocking component 194 is made of an elastic material, and the light-blocking component 194 elastically abuts against the circuit board 12 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1110, thus better preventing light leakage.

[0038] This utility model also discloses an electronic atomizing device, including an atomizing component 200 and a battery component 100 connected to the atomizing component 200. The battery component 100 provides electrical energy to the atomizing component 200 to atomize e-liquid into smoke. The battery component 100 is the same as the battery component 100 described in the above embodiment. Since the battery component 100 in this embodiment has the same structure as the battery component 100 in the above embodiment, it also possesses the same technical effects.

[0039] The atomizing assembly 200 includes a mouthpiece 21, an atomizing component mounting housing 22, a liquid storage assembly 23, an atomizing core 24, a connecting seat 25, a first liquid-absorbing plate 26, and a second liquid-absorbing plate 27. The mouthpiece 21 is connected to the first end of the atomizing component mounting housing 22 for the user to inhale vapor. The second end of the atomizing component mounting housing 22 is connected to the battery mounting housing 11. The liquid storage assembly 23 is located inside the atomizing component mounting housing 22 and includes a liquid storage tube 231, a liquid-absorbing column 232, a first sealing seat 233, and a second sealing seat 234. The liquid-absorbing column 232 is located inside the liquid storage tube 231 and is used to absorb e-liquid. The first sealing seat 233 covers the first end of the liquid storage tube 231, and the second sealing seat 234 covers the second end of the liquid storage tube 231.

[0040] The atomizing core 24 is located inside the liquid-absorbing column 232 and is used to atomize the e-liquid delivered by the liquid-absorbing column 232. The atomizing core 24 is existing technology, and its structure will not be described in detail here. One end of the connecting seat 25 is connected to the second sealing seat 234, and the other end of the connecting seat 25 is connected to the atomizing component mounting housing 22. The first liquid-absorbing plate 26 is inserted into the mouthpiece 21 and is used to absorb condensed e-liquid. The second liquid-absorbing plate 27 is placed on the connecting seat 25 and is used to absorb leaked e-liquid. The first liquid-absorbing plate 26, the second liquid-absorbing plate 27, and the liquid-absorbing column 232 can be made of materials that can absorb e-liquid, such as cotton or porous ceramics. It is understood that as long as the e-liquid can be atomized to form smoke, the structure of the atomizing component 200 is not specifically limited here.

[0041] In summary, this utility model features a first fixing post 1111 and a second fixing post 1112 extending from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 1110 towards its opening. A first fixing groove 1118 is formed between the first fixing post 1111, the second fixing post 1112, and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 1110. A first connecting groove 11111 is provided on the end face of the first fixing post 1111 facing the opening of the receiving groove 1110. The circuit board 12 is at least partially inserted into the first fixing groove 1118. The first end of the first fixing screw 13 is inserted into the first connecting groove 11111, and the second end of the first fixing screw 13 is at least partially located outside the first connecting groove 11111 and is fastened to the circuit board 12. Therefore, there is no need to drill holes in the circuit board 12 or provide additional connecting components to fix the circuit board 12, which not only facilitates assembly and ensures reliable fixation but also simplifies the manufacturing process and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, since the first connecting groove 11111 has a notch 11112 in its groove wall, and the notch 11112 is located between the first fixing post 1111 and the second fixing post 1112 and communicates with the first fixing groove 1118, the structure is compact, which can increase the contact area between the screw head of the first fixing screw 13 and the circuit board 12, making the fastening more secure and reliable.
