[0002] With the application of electronic atomizing devices, their functions have become more diversified, such as adjusting airflow, atomization power, and flavor. Different adjustments typically require different input parameters. For example, multiple buttons could be used to input different parameters, but this would complicate the overall structure and operation of the device. Alternatively, a screen could be installed on the surface of the device for input; however, due to the miniaturization requirements of electronic atomizing devices, the screen size would be relatively small, making it difficult to operate.

[0032] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0033] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0034] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] With the application of electronic atomizing devices, their functions have become more diversified, such as adjusting airflow, atomization power, and flavor. Different adjustment functions generally require inputting different request information into the controller, which then outputs different control information to achieve the desired adjustment. For example, multiple buttons could be set up, allowing users to input different requests by pressing different buttons. However, this would result in a complex structure and operation for the entire electronic atomizing device. Alternatively, a screen could be used to input different requests; however, due to the compact design requirements of electronic atomizing devices, the screen size is relatively small, making it difficult to operate, especially when navigating between main menus and sub-menus. This cumbersome and inconvenient process is particularly problematic for users.

[0037] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a power supply component 1 and an electronic atomizing device. The power supply component 1 inputs demand information to the controller by rotating the rotating part 200. Specifically, the rotating part 200 is rotated at different angles to input different demand information to the controller. This eliminates the need for multiple different buttons, simplifies the structure of the electronic atomizing device, and makes it easy to operate.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The electronic atomizing device provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The electronic atomizing device includes an atomizer 2 and a power supply component 1. The power supply component 1 is connected to the atomizer 2 and is used to supply power to the atomizer 2. The atomizer 2 stores an atomizing medium. After being powered on, the atomizer 2 can atomize the atomizing medium inside to generate an aerosol.

[0039] In some embodiments, the atomizer 2 and the power supply component 1 can be mechanically and electrically connected together. Further, the atomizer 2 and the power supply component 1 can be connected together in a detachable manner using magnetic connections, threaded connections, snap-fit ​​connections, or other similar methods. Both the atomizer 2 and the power supply component 1 can be replaced or upgraded individually, reducing replacement costs and saving user expenses. Of course, in other embodiments, the atomizer 2 and the power supply component 1 can also be connected together in a non-detachable manner.

[0040] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The power supply component 1 provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0041] The power supply assembly 1 includes a power supply body 100, a rotating component 200, a detection component 300, and a controller (not shown). The power supply body 100 is used to control the atomizer 2 to atomize, and the controller is installed on the power supply body 100. The detection component 300 is communicatively connected to the controller. The rotating component 200 is rotatably mounted on the power supply body 100. The detection component 300 is used to detect the angle information of the rotating component 200 and feed it back to the controller.

[0042] In practical applications, when a first requirement is needed to be input to the controller, the rotating component 200 can be rotated by a first angle. When the detection component 300 detects the first angle information and feeds it back to the controller, the controller outputs first control information based on the first angle information. When a second requirement is needed to be input to the controller, the rotating component 200 can be rotated by a second angle. When the detection component 300 detects the second angle information and feeds it back to the controller, the controller outputs second control information based on the second angle information. And so on.

[0043] For ease of understanding, let's assume the first demand information is airflow adjustment demand information. The controller then outputs first control information to the corresponding airflow adjustment device, causing the airflow adjustment device to adjust the airflow. Similarly, let's assume the second demand information is atomization power adjustment demand information. The controller then outputs second control information to the atomizing core to adjust the atomization power, thereby achieving different atomization effects. It should be noted that the controller outputting different control information based on different demand information is a common existing control method, obtainable without creative effort. This application does not aim to protect the controller outputting different control information based on different demand information, but rather to protect the use of the rotation of the rotating component 200, with the detection component 300 detecting the rotation angle of the rotating component 200 and feeding it back to the controller to achieve the purpose of inputting different demand information to the controller. In other words, it protects how to input different control information to the controller through simple operation. This involves a mechanical structure and simple circuit connection, and falls under the protection of a utility model.

[0044] The power supply component 1 in this embodiment includes a rotating component 200 and a detection component 300. The detection component 300 is communicatively connected to the controller. The rotating component 200 is rotatably mounted on the power supply body 100. The detection component 300 is used to detect the angle information of the rotating component 200 and feed it back to the controller. The above configuration allows the user to input different demand information to the controller by rotating the rotating component 200, so that the controller can adjust the function according to different demand information, reducing the difficulty of function adjustment and improving the user experience.

[0045] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 1 further includes a display 500, which is mounted on the power supply body 100 and is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0046] In practical applications, when fine adjustments are required, they can also be made through the display unit 500. This can be achieved by rotating the rotating component 200 to switch the display unit 500's interface. For example, different angles of the rotating component 200 can be mapped one-to-one with different interfaces of the display unit 500. When the rotating component 200 rotates to the first angle, the controller switches the display unit 500 to the first interface (e.g., the air intake adjustment interface); when the rotating component 200 rotates to the second angle, the controller switches to the second interface (e.g., the atomization power adjustment interface); when the rotating component 200 rotates to the third angle, the controller switches to the third interface (e.g., the atomization flavor adjustment interface), and so on. This setup allows users to easily switch the display unit 500 to different interfaces simply by rotating the rotating component 200 to finely adjust different functions. This simplifies the adjustment process, eliminating the need to navigate from the main menu to submenus and then from submenus to sub-submenus, thus reducing the complexity of user operation.

[0047] It should be noted that each interface of the display component 500 is independently numbered (e.g., the first interface = number 1). The controller pre-stores a one-to-one correspondence between different interfaces of the display component 500 and different angle information of the rotating component 200. When the detection component 300 inputs different angle information to the controller, the controller controls the display component 500 to display different interfaces according to the different angle information. The above-mentioned control method for switching interfaces of the display component 500 is a common existing method for switching interfaces of the display component 500, which can be obtained without creative effort. This application does not protect the control method of the controller controlling the display component 500 to switch different interfaces according to the angle information fed back by the detection component 300, but rather protects the method of using the rotation of the rotating component 200, detecting the rotation angle of the rotating component 200 through the detection component 300 and feeding it back to the controller. That is, it protects how to input different control information to the controller through simple operation. This is a mechanical structure and a simple circuit principle, which belongs to the protected object of utility model.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The detection element 300 is installed on the power supply body 100. The rotating element 200 has multiple detection parts 600 evenly distributed along its circumference. The detection element 300 can detect the detection part 600 that has rotated to match its position in order to determine the angle information of the rotating element 200.

[0049] It should be noted that the position matching between the detection element 300 and the detected part 600 refers to the relative positional relationship between the detection element 300 and the detected part 600, so that the detection element 300 can sense the detected part 600. This matching position needs to be set according to the specific detection element 300 and the detected part 600.

[0050] In practical applications, the rotating component 200 is usually stopped at its initial position, and the first detected part 600 on the rotating component 200 is matched with the position of the detection component 300. When the user drives the rotating component 200 to rotate by an angle, the Nth detected part 600 on the rotating component 200 is matched with the position of the detection component 300. The detection component 300 can obtain the angle information of the rotating component 200 based on the time interval between sensing the first detected part 600 and the Nth detected part 600. Alternatively, the detection component 300 can also send a signal pulse to the controller after each detection of the detected part 600, and then the controller can calculate the angle information of the rotating component 200 based on the time elapsed between the first signal pulse and the Nth signal pulse.

[0051] It should be noted that the detection element 300 can acquire the angle information of the rotating element 200 based on the time interval between the first detected part 600 and the Nth detected part 600, which is the detection principle of existing common angle sensors. In addition, the controller calculates the angle information of the rotating element 200 based on the time elapsed between the first signal pulse and the Nth signal pulse, which is also a common method for angle information calculation.

[0052] In this embodiment, by setting multiple detection parts 600 that are equally spaced along the circumference, the rotating member 200 can be rotated to multiple different angles, thereby inputting different demand information to the controller to realize the adjustment of multiple different functions and to realize the switching of multiple different interfaces of the display member 500.

[0053] In some examples, the detection element 300 is mounted on the power supply body 100, and 16 detected parts 600 are distributed on the rotating element 200. After each rotation of the rotating element 200, the detection element 300 matches the position of one of the detected parts 600. The detection element 300 detects the next detected part 600 every time the rotating element 200 rotates by one unit angle (22.5 degrees). During the rotation of the rotating element 200, the detection element 300 can detect 16 different angle information, thereby enabling the input of 16 different demand information to the controller, or enabling the display element 500 to switch between 16 different interfaces. Furthermore, interface switching can also be achieved by rotating the rotating element 200 clockwise and counterclockwise. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the number of detected parts 600 can be set according to actual application requirements, for example, it can be 2, 3, 4, 5, or more than 5, etc., and is not limited here.

[0054] In other embodiments of this application, the positions of the detection element 300 and the detected part 600 can also be interchanged. For example, the detection element 300 can be mounted on the rotating member 200, and the power supply main body 100 has multiple detected parts 600 evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating member 200. The detection element 300 can detect the detected part 600 that matches its position to determine the angle information of the rotating member 200. In the initial state, the detection element 300 is matched with one of the detected parts 600. When the detection element 300 rotates with the rotating member 200, the detection element 300 can detect different detected parts 300, thereby determining the angle information of the rotating member 200.

[0055] In some other embodiments of this application, multiple detection elements 300 may be distributed on the rotating member 200, and a detection part 600 may be provided on the power supply body 100. The detection part 600 may be detected by different detection elements 300 to achieve angle measurement. Alternatively, multiple detection elements 300 may be distributed on the power supply body 100, and the detection part 600 may be provided on the rotating member 200. The detection part 600 may be detected by different detection elements 300 to achieve angle measurement.

[0056] In this application, the angle information of the rotating component 200 is detected by the detection component 300. There are many detection methods, such as using a Hall sensor 310, a magnetoresistive angle sensor, a photoelectric sensor 320, a magneto-electric encoder, a magnetically sensitive angle sensor, a capacitive angle displacement sensor, an optical angle sensor, an electromagnetic angle sensor, or a piezoelectric angle sensor. The following description uses the Hall sensor 310 and the photoelectric sensor 320 as examples.

[0057] For example, in some embodiments, when the detection element 300 includes a Hall sensor 310, the magnetic element can be disposed on the power supply body 100 and / or the rotating element 200; during the rotation of the rotating element 200, the Hall sensor 310 determines the angle information of the rotating element 200 by detecting the change in the magnetic field of the magnetic element. Specifically, the magnetic element can be disposed on the power supply body 100 or on the rotating element 200, and the angle information of the rotating element 200 is determined by detecting the change in the magnetic field of the magnetic element by the Hall sensor 310. Alternatively, magnetic elements can be disposed on both the power supply body 100 and the rotating element 200, and the Hall sensor 310 determines the angle information of the rotating element 200 by detecting the change in the magnetic field between the magnetic elements.

[0058] As an example, please see Figures 4 to 7 The detection element 300 includes a Hall sensor 310, the power supply body 100 is provided with a second magnetic element 700, and the rotating element 200 has a plurality of first magnetic elements 610 distributed along its circumference. During the rotation of the rotating element 200, each first magnetic element 610 moves closer to and further away from the second magnetic element 700 in sequence. The Hall sensor 310 is spaced at a preset distance from the second magnetic element 700 so as to detect the change in magnetic field at the second magnetic element 700.

[0059] The Hall sensor 310 is also called a Hall effect angle sensor. The Hall sensor 310 is disposed on the power supply body 100. The Hall sensor 310 and the second magnetic element 700 are separated by a preset distance. This preset distance is related to the sensitivity of the Hall sensor 310. It is sufficient that the magnetic field generated by the superposition of the second magnetic element 700 and the first magnetic element 610 can pass through the Hall sensor 310 and be detected by the Hall sensor 310.

[0060] The first magnetic element 610 is a detection part 600 disposed on the rotating member 200. The magnetic properties of each first magnetic element 610 are opposite to those of the second magnetic element 700. When the first magnetic element 610 approaches the second magnetic element 700, the magnetic field at the second magnetic element 700 is a superposition of the magnetic fields of the first magnetic element 610 and the second magnetic element 700. Therefore, as the first magnetic element 610 gradually approaches the second magnetic element 700, the magnetic field at the second magnetic element 700 gradually increases; as the first magnetic element 610 gradually moves away from the second magnetic element 700, the magnetic field at the second magnetic element 700 gradually decreases. During the rotation of the rotating member 200, each first magnetic element 610 sequentially approaches and moves away from the second magnetic element 700, causing the magnetic field at the second magnetic element 700 to undergo a gradual increase, decrease, increase, and decrease cycle. The Hall sensor 310 can detect this magnetic field change and convert the magnetic field change pattern into angle information to achieve angle information detection of the rotating member 200.

[0061] In this embodiment, a Hall sensor 310 is used to detect the angle information of the rotating component 200. Its high detection sensitivity allows for rapid response and feedback to the controller, enabling the controller to quickly control the display component 500 to switch display interfaces. Furthermore, the attraction between the first magnetic component 610 and the second magnetic component 700 reduces costs.

[0062] Optionally, the first magnetic element 610 includes a first magnet, and the second magnetic element 700 includes a second magnet, with the magnetic poles of the first and second magnets being opposite. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the first magnetic element 610 and the second magnetic element 700 may also be permanent magnets, electromagnets, etc., and are not limited to these specific types.

[0063] In an embodiment where the Hall sensor 310 is located, please refer to... Figure 4The rotating component 200 has multiple first mounting slots 210 with openings facing the power supply unit 100, and each first magnetic component 610 is installed in its respective first mounting slot 210. The power supply unit 100 has a second mounting slot 1111 with an opening facing the rotating component 200, and a second magnetic component 700 is installed in the second mounting slot 1111. After the rotating component 200 rotates by a unit angle, one of the first magnetic components 610 and the second magnetic component 700 come into direct contact and attract each other. This arrangement maximizes the superimposed magnetic field of the first magnetic component 610 and the second magnetic component 700, and makes the attraction between the first magnetic component 610 and the second magnetic component 700 strong. This not only provides rotational driving force while the user drives the rotating component 200 to rotate, achieving a labor-saving effect, but also ensures that the rotating component 200 stops rotating at the position where the first magnetic component 610 and the second magnetic component 700 are in direct contact each time, without the need for additional limiting components to ensure that the angle of rotation of the rotating component 200 is exactly the angle that needs to be adjusted each time. In this embodiment, the use of magnetic attraction not only reduces the difficulty of operation but also achieves the effects of saving effort and costs. Furthermore, due to the driving force of the magnetic attraction, the rotating component 200 experiences a rapid pause during rotation, providing a playful experience.

[0064] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The detection element 300 includes a photoelectric sensor 320, and the rotating element 200 has multiple detection portions 600 spaced apart along its circumference and capable of being sensed by the photoelectric sensor 320. Specifically, the photoelectric sensor 320 emits light to the rotating element 200 in real time. When the light is emitted to the detection portion 600, the detection portion 600 reflects the light so that it is received by the photoelectric sensor 320. The photoelectric sensor 320 determines the angle information of the detection portion 600 based on the angle of the reflected light, thereby detecting the angle information of the rotating element 200.

[0065] In an embodiment equipped with a photoelectric sensor 320, the detected part 600 includes a blind hole 220 formed by a recess in the rotating member 200 facing the power supply body 100. Specifically, the photoelectric sensor 320 comprises a light-emitting element and a photosensitive receiver. When the rotating member 200 rotates, the light-emitting element emits light towards the rotating member 200 in real time. The blind hole 220 periodically blocks / passes through the sensor's light path, causing the photosensitive receiver to output a pulse signal with varying high and low levels. Each pulse corresponds to the angular displacement of the rotating member 200 as it rotates through one blind hole 220 interval, thereby obtaining the angle information of the rotating member 200. The blind hole 220 not only simplifies the structure and molding process but also provides a stop limit for the limiting structure 800 described later. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the blind hole 220 may not be provided. Instead, multiple reflective markers distributed circumferentially on the rotating member 200 may be provided to reflect light. This is not a unique limitation.

[0066] In an embodiment equipped with photoelectric sensor 320, please refer to... Figure 8 The power supply unit 100 is equipped with at least two photoelectric sensors 320, which are distributed along the circumference of the rotating component 200. The circumferential distance between two adjacent photoelectric sensors 320 is an integer multiple of the circumferential distance between two adjacent blind holes 220. The arrangement of at least two photoelectric sensors 320 ensures that if one photoelectric sensor 320 fails, the other photoelectric sensor can detect the angle information of the rotating component 200, thereby improving the service life of the detection component 300.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The power supply unit 100 is connected to the rotating component 200 by a limiting structure 800, which limits the rotation of the rotating component 200. Specifically, after the user inputs the required information by rotating the rotating component 200, the limiting structure 800 can limit the rotating component 200 to prevent it from rotating on its own without user intervention, thus preventing accidental activation. Understandably, in embodiments including the Hall sensor 310, the attraction between the first magnetic component 610 and the second magnetic component 700 can achieve the effect of limiting the rotating component 200, so the limiting structure 800 is not necessary. Of course, a limiting structure 800 can be provided to achieve a double limiting effect; in this case, the first magnetic component 610, the second magnetic component 700, and the limiting structure 800 need to be staggered to avoid structural interference. In embodiments including the photoelectric sensor 320, a limiting structure 800 is required to limit the rotation of the rotating component 200.

[0068] In an embodiment with limiting structure 800, please refer to Figure 10 The power supply body 100 includes a receiving groove 151 with its opening facing the rotating member 200. The limiting structure 800 includes an elastic member 810 housed in the receiving groove 151 and a ball 820 connected to the elastic member 810. The rotating member 200 has a plurality of mating grooves 230 that are spaced apart along its circumference and have their openings facing the power supply body 100. During the rotation of the rotating member 200, the ball 820 can be sequentially inserted into different mating grooves 230.

[0069] The elastic element 810 is elastic, and the ball 820 abuts against the surface of the rotating element 200 facing the power supply body 100 under the action of the elastic element 810. During the rotation of the rotating element 200, the ball 820 can sequentially engage with different mating grooves 230 under the elastic force of the elastic element 810, causing the rotating element 200 to stop. At this point, the user needs to push the rotating element 200 to continue rotating, thus preventing the rotating element 200 from rotating accidentally when the user does not apply force. Furthermore, each time the ball 820 engages with the mating groove 230, it produces a more pleasant and realistic clicking sound, enhancing the mechanical and technological feel of the design and making it more stylish. Understandably, in other embodiments of this application, the limiting structure 800 may also include a ball screw. This can be achieved by installing the ball screw in the receiving groove 151, with at least a portion of the ball protruding from the receiving groove 151, thus achieving the same limiting effect and producing a clicking sound.

[0070] Optionally, the number of mating grooves 230 is equal to the number of detected parts 600, and each mating groove 230 corresponds one-to-one with each detected part 600, so that when the rotating member 200 rotates by a unit angle, the detection member 300 can detect the detected part 600, and the rotating member 200 can be stopped by limiting its movement. Optionally, in other embodiments of this application, the number of mating grooves 230 may be more than the number of detected parts 600, or the number of mating grooves 230 may be less than the number of detected parts 600; this is not a unique limitation.

[0071] Optionally, the number of limiting structures 800 can be one or more. When there are multiple limiting structures 800, they are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating member 200. The circumferential distance between adjacent limiting structures 800 is an integer multiple of the circumferential distance between two adjacent mating grooves 230. This arrangement ensures that after the rotating member 200 rotates, each limiting structure 800 can be inserted into its corresponding mating groove 230. The use of multiple limiting structures 800 improves the limiting strength and circumferential uniformity of the rotating member 200, while also ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating member 200.

[0072] In an embodiment that simultaneously features a limiting structure 800 and a photoelectric sensor 320, please refer to... Figure 9The blind hole 220 can be used as a mating groove 230. That is, the blind hole 220 is not only used for detection by the photoelectric sensor 320, but also can cooperate with the ball 820 to achieve a limiting and locking function. This arrangement reduces the machining of the mating groove 230, simplifies the structure of the rotating part 200, and reduces the machining difficulty of the rotating part 200. Understandably, in other embodiments of this application, the blind hole 220 and the mating groove 230 can also be provided separately. In this case, the mating groove 230 and the blind hole 220 can be offset radially along the rotating part 200 to avoid mutual interference between their structures.

[0073] In this application, since the detection element 300 can be of various types, and a limiting structure 800 can be provided between the rotating element 200 and the power supply body 100, or a limiting structure 800 can be not provided, the specific structure of the power supply body 100 will be slightly different depending on the different situations. Two preferred embodiments are described below: First, the detection element 300 includes a photoelectric sensor 320 and is provided with a limiting structure 800; second, the detection element 300 includes a Hall sensor 310 and is not provided with a limiting structure 800.

[0074] First scenario: Please refer to [link / reference] Figures 8 to 10 The power supply body 100 includes a housing 110 and a mounting member 150. The mounting member 150 is fixedly connected to the housing 110, and the rotating member 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 150. A receiving groove 151 is formed on the side of the mounting member 150 facing the rotating member 200. The elastic member 810 and the ball 820 are both mounted on the mounting member 150. The mounting member 150 allows the limiting structure 800 to be mounted on it, thereby simplifying the structure of the power supply body 100.

[0075] Optionally, the mounting component 150 is annular, and the mounting component 150 is provided with a first clearance groove 154 corresponding to the position of the photoelectric sensor 320. The housing 110 is provided with a second clearance groove 1114 corresponding to the position of the photoelectric sensor 320. The light emitted by the photoelectric sensor 320 passes through the second clearance groove 1114 and the first clearance groove 154 in sequence and is directed into the blind hole 220 of the rotating component 200.

[0076] For details, please refer to Figure 10The mounting member 150 has a positioning post 152 protruding towards the housing 110. A first mounting hole 153 is formed in the positioning post 152. The housing 110 has a second mounting hole 1112 and a receiving groove 1113. The receiving groove 1113 extends from the side of the housing 110 facing the mounting member 150 to the second mounting hole 1112. The second mounting hole 1112 extends from the receiving groove 1113 to penetrate the side of the housing 110 away from the mounting member 150 (i.e., the inner side). During assembly, the positioning post 152 is inserted into the receiving groove 1113, and the fastener 400 passes through the second mounting hole 1112 and the first mounting hole 153 sequentially from the inner side of the housing 110 and locks them in place, thereby locking the mounting member 150 and the housing 110 together.

[0077] Optionally, there can be multiple positioning posts 152, with each positioning post 152 evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting member 150. Correspondingly, the number of second mounting grooves 1111 and receiving grooves 1113 on the housing 110 is equal to the number of positioning posts 152. Furthermore, the positioning posts 152 and the receiving grooves 151 are staggered along the circumference of the mounting member 150.

[0078] Specifically, the power supply unit 100 also includes a battery 120 and a circuit board 130. The battery 120 and circuit board 130 are respectively installed in the inner cavity of the housing 110. The battery 120 is electrically connected to the circuit board 130. The controller and the detection component 300 are both located on the circuit board 130. The mounting component 150 is fixedly connected to the housing 110, and the rotating component 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting component 150. The mounting component 150 simplifies the structure of the housing 110.

[0079] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The power supply body 100 protrudes outward from the flange 160, and the rotating component 200 is rotatably sleeved on the flange 160. The flange 160 improves the rotational stability of the rotating component 200 outside the power supply body 100.

[0080] Specifically, the flange 160 has a first cylindrical surface 161, and the rotating member 200 has a second cylindrical surface 240. The second cylindrical surface 240 is sleeved on the first cylindrical surface 161, and the first cylindrical surface 161 and the second cylindrical surface 240 are rotatably engaged, thereby ensuring the rotational stability of the rotating member 200.

[0081] In this embodiment, the flange 160 is formed on the mounting member 150, and the flange 160 and the mounting member 150 are integrally formed structures.

[0082] In this embodiment, referring to 10, the flange 160 is provided with a first limiting portion 162, and the rotating member 200 is provided with a second limiting portion 250. The second limiting portion 250 cooperates with the first limiting portion 162 to restrict the rotating member 200 from moving axially. The provision of the first limiting portion 162 and the second limiting portion 250 prevents the rotating member 200 from detaching from the power supply body 100 axially during rotation.

[0083] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The first limiting portion 162 is a third groove formed radially inward from the first cylindrical surface 161 of the flange 160, and the second limiting portion 250 is a third protrusion extending radially outward from the second cylindrical surface 240 of the rotating member 200, the third protrusion being inserted into the third groove. The third protrusion and the rotating member 200 are integrally formed. Of course, in other embodiments, the third protrusion and the rotating member 200 can also be integrally connected.

[0084] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 The outer peripheral surface of the rotating member 200 has a plurality of teeth 260 distributed thereon, with each tooth 260 being equally spaced along the circumference of the rotating member 200. The arrangement of the plurality of teeth 260 increases the surface friction of the rotating member 200, making the rotation drive of the rotating member 200 less labor-intensive. It is understood that in other embodiments, a plurality of ridges, a plurality of protrusions, or other shaped protrusions may also be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating member 200; this is not a unique limitation.

[0085] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The power supply unit 100 includes a housing 110, a battery holder 140, and a battery 120. The battery holder 140 is installed inside the housing 110, and the battery 120 is installed in the battery holder 140. The display unit 500 includes a display section 510 for displaying images. Along the axial direction of the rotating member 200, the first orthographic projection of the rotating member 200 surrounds the second orthographic projection of the display section 510. This arrangement ensures that the arrangement of the rotating member 200 does not affect the display of the display section 510.

[0086] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The housing 110 has an outwardly protruding boss 1115, which encloses a receiving cavity. The display unit 510 is accommodated in the receiving cavity. The mounting member 150 is sleeved on the outside of the boss 1115, and the rotating member 200 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting member 150. The top plate of the boss 1115 is made of a semi-transparent material so that the user can see through the top plate to the display unit 510. Alternatively, the entire housing 110 can be made of a semi-transparent material.

[0087] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8The housing 110 includes an upper housing 111, a middle housing 112, and a lower housing 113. The upper housing 111, the middle housing 112, and the lower housing 113 together enclose a mounting cavity, in which the battery 120, the circuit board 130, and the display 500 are all housed. A boss 1115 is formed on the upper housing 111.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The power supply unit 100 also includes a battery rack 140, which is installed in the mounting cavity. The battery 120 and the circuit board 130 are both installed in the battery rack 140, and the display 500 is installed in the circuit board 130.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The housing 110 has a receiving cavity 1121 formed on one side. The battery holder 140 includes an electrode mounting portion 141, which is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 1121. The electrode mounting portion 141 is provided with a first electrode 900, which is electrically connected to the battery 120 plate. The atomizer 2 can be inserted into the receiving cavity 1121 through the top opening and supported by the electrode mounting portion 141 until the first electrode 900 abuts against the second electrode 21 of the atomizer 2, thereby realizing the power supply component 1 supplying power to the atomizer 2. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the atomizer 2 may not be housed in the power supply body 100. For example, the atomizer 2 may be abutted against the power supply body 100, or the atomizer 2 may be spaced apart from the power supply body 100, or the power supply body 100 may be partially housed in the atomizer 2, as long as the power supply body 100 supplies power to the atomizer 2 and controls the atomizer 2 to atomize.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The side wall of the housing 110 has a first air inlet 1122, and the battery holder 140 has an air inlet channel 142. The air inlet end of the air inlet channel 142 is connected to the first air inlet 1122, and the air outlet end of the air inlet channel 142 is connected to the second air inlet 22 of the atomizer 2, so as to supply air to the atomizer 2.

[0091] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 An air intake adjustment structure 1000 is installed on the side of the battery rack 140. The air intake adjustment structure 1000 is slidably set and can block part of the air intake end of the air intake channel 142, thereby realizing air intake adjustment.

[0092] Optionally, the intake volume adjustment structure 1000 can be manually slidable. Alternatively, the intake volume adjustment structure 1000 can be communicatively connected to a controller, which controls the sliding of the intake volume adjustment structure 1000 to achieve automatic adjustment.

[0093] The second scenario: The detection component 300 includes a Hall sensor 310 and does not have a limit structure 800.

[0094] In this embodiment, since the limiting structure 800 is not required, the mounting component 150 is not required, and the flange 160 can be directly formed on the housing 110. Specifically, the flange 160 is formed on the upper shell 111 of the housing 110.

[0095] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first limiting part 162 is a first protrusion extending radially from the flange 160 toward the rotating member 200, and the second limiting part 250 is a first groove recessed radially inward from the second cylindrical surface 240. The first protrusion is inserted into the first groove radially, and the upper and lower inner walls of the first groove stop on the upper and lower sides of the first protrusion, thereby achieving axial limiting of the rotating member 200.

[0096] In the example above, please refer to Figure 5 The first protrusion is integrally connected to the flange 160. The flange 160 has a second groove 163 radially recessed from the first cylindrical surface 161. The first protrusion is annular, with its inner end inserted into the second groove 163 and fixedly connected to the flange 160. The outer end of the first protrusion is inserted into the first groove to provide circumferential restraint for the rotating component 200. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the first protrusion and the flange 160 may also be integrally formed, i.e., the first protrusion and the flange 160 may be formed by one-time injection molding or one-time processing.

[0097] Unlike the first case, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 4 The display unit 500 has an exposed display section 510. A ring-shaped flange 160 surrounds a window, into which the display section 510 is inserted. The flange 160 surrounds the display section 510, and the rotating member 200 is fitted around the flange 160. This arrangement results in a compact and aesthetically pleasing structure for the display section 510, flange 160, and rotating member 200, without any structural interference. Furthermore, users can perform touch operations on the display section 510.

[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The atomizer 2 includes a liquid storage chamber 23, an atomizing chamber 24, and an atomizing core 25. The liquid storage chamber 23 stores the atomizing medium. The atomizing core 25 is in liquid communication with the liquid storage chamber 23, and the atomizing chamber 24 is in gas communication with the atomizing core 25. The atomizing core 25 is communicatively connected to a controller. By communicating with the controller, the controller can output different control information to the atomizing core 25 based on different angle information from the rotating component 200, thereby adjusting the power of the atomizing core 25. This power adjustment of the atomizing core 25 changes the atomization rate and degree of atomization of the atomizing medium, thus adjusting the flavor of the atomized product.

[0099] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
