[0013] In some embodiments, the conductive element is a conductive elastic element, which is used to elastically abut against the circuit board.

[0014] In some embodiments, the switch structure includes two conductive elements, which are conductive foams. The pressing element has extension posts extending from opposite sides of its rotation fulcrum.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] As described in the background section, atomizing devices generally have a switch mechanism to check the battery level or e-liquid level, or to switch power or flavors. Currently, the switch mechanism of atomizing devices is generally a button or knob. Buttons or knobs have limited operating space, and operation with wet hands can easily lead to electric leakage, resulting in low safety.

[0039] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a switch structure 1 and an atomizing device. By reciprocatingly swinging the pressing member 100 of the switch structure 1 on the atomizing body 2, and providing connecting components 200 on opposite sides of the pressing member 100 around its swing fulcrum, the pressing member 100 has a large pressing area and a large pressing operation space. This not only makes the operation simple and convenient, but also reduces the possibility of short circuits caused by the user's wet hands introducing liquid into the atomizing device, thus improving the safety of use.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 The switch structure 1 provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The switch structure 1 is applied to an atomizing device, which has a circuit board 21.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The switch structure 1 includes a pressing member 100, two connecting assemblies 200, and at least one conductive member 300. The pressing member 100 is configured to reciprocate around its pivot point in the atomizing device and has a first position and a second position. The two connecting assemblies 200 are located on opposite sides of the pivot point of the pressing member 100. The connecting assemblies 200 include a first connecting member 210 disposed on the pressing member 100 and a second connecting member 220 disposed on the atomizing device. When the pressing member 100 is in the first position, the first set of connecting assemblies 200... The first connector 210 and the second connector 220 of the second set of connecting components 200 are engaged and connected, while the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 of the first set of connecting components 200 are disengaged. When the pressing member 100 is in the second position, the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 of the second set of connecting components 200 are engaged and connected, while the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 of the first set of connecting components 200 are disengaged. When the pressing member 100 is in the first position and / or the second position, the conductive member 300 conducts the path of the circuit board 21.

[0042] It should be noted that the pressing member 100 can reciprocate around its pivot point. Specifically, the pressing member 100 can reciprocate around the pivot point in the positive direction M1 and have a first position, and the pressing member 100 can reciprocate around the pivot point in the opposite direction M2 and have a second position. Here, the positive direction M1 and the opposite direction M2 have no special meaning; they are two opposite directions of rotation. For example, when the positive direction M1 is clockwise, the opposite direction M2 is counterclockwise, and when the positive direction M1 is counterclockwise, the opposite direction M2 is clockwise.

[0043] Specifically, for ease of description, the pressing member 100 is assumed to have a first end and a second end located on opposite sides of its swing fulcrum. The connecting component 200 located at the first end is designated as the first set of connecting components 200, and the connecting component 200 located at the second end is designated as the second set of connecting components 200. When the pressing member 100 is in the first position, the first end is relatively close to the circuit board 21, and the second end is relatively far from the circuit board 21. At this time, the first connecting member 210 in the first set of connecting components 200 approaches its corresponding second connecting member 220, so that the first connecting member 210 and the second connecting member 220 cooperate and connect. The first connecting member 210 in the second set of connecting components 200 tilts upward and separates from its corresponding second connecting member 220. When the pressing member 100 is in the second position, the second end is relatively close to the circuit board 21, and the first end is relatively far from the circuit board 21. At this time, the first connecting member 210 in the first set of connecting components 200 tilts upward and separates from its corresponding second connecting member 220. The first connecting member 210 in the second set of connecting components 200 tilts downward and approaches and connects to its corresponding second connecting member 220.

[0044] Furthermore, the number of conductive elements 300 can be set according to actual needs. When there is one route on the circuit board 21 that needs to be connected or disconnected, one conductive element 300 is required; when there are two routes on the circuit board 21, two conductive elements 300 are required. Specifically, when the switch structure 1 has one conductive element 300, for example, when the pressing member 100 is in the first position, the pressing member 100 can drive the conductive element 300 to abut against the circuit board 21 so that the conductive element 300 connects the route on the circuit board 21, and when the pressing member 100 is in the second position, the pressing member 100 can drive the conductive element 300 to separate from the circuit board 21 to disconnect the route. When the switch structure 1 is provided with two conductive elements 300, the circuit board 21 is provided with two routes. When the pressing element 100 is in the first position, the pressing element 100 drives the first conductive element 300 to conduct the first route on the circuit board 21. At this time, the second conductive element 300 does not conduct the second route, that is, the second route is disconnected. When the pressing element 100 is in the second position, the pressing element 100 drives the second conductive element 300 to conduct the second route on the circuit board 21. At this time, the first conductive element 300 does not conduct the first route, that is, the first route is disconnected.

[0045] The switch structure 1 in this embodiment of the application, by swinging the pressing member 100 in the atomizing device, with two connecting components 200 respectively located on opposite sides of the swing fulcrum of the pressing member 100, allows the pressing member 100 to be held in the first or second position by connecting and separating the two connecting components 200, and the circuit on the circuit board 21 can be connected or disconnected by the conductive member 300, thereby realizing the control of the circuit on the circuit board 21 by the switch structure 1. The switch structure 1 of this application, due to the arrangement of two sets of connecting components 200, provides a large operating surface area for the pressing member 100, making operation simple and convenient, reducing the possibility of short circuits caused by users' wet hands introducing liquid into the atomizing device, improving safety, and extending the service life of the atomizing device. Furthermore, one or two conductive members 300 can be selected according to actual needs, offering more choices, ease of use, and a wider range of applications.

[0046] Optionally, the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are magnetically attracted, meaning that the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are connected together by magnetic attraction. When the pressing member 100 is driven to swing around the positive direction M1 or the negative direction M2 to a certain angle, when the distance between the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 reaches the magnetic attraction range, the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 automatically attract each other. In other words, the user only needs to drive the pressing member 100 to tilt slightly relative to the horizontal position, and the pressing member 100 will be driven by the magnetic attraction force of the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 to continue rotating to the first position or the second position, just like playing on a seesaw. This not only makes operation easier but also provides a playful experience. At the same time, when the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 attract each other, a clicking sound will be made to alert the user. Understandably, in other embodiments of this application, the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 may also be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For example, the first connector 210 may include a snap-fit, and the second connector 220 may include a slot. When the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are connected, the snap-fit ​​and the slot engage. Alternatively, the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 may also be connected by an insertion mechanism. For example, the first connector 210 may include a plug, and the second connector 220 may include a slot. When the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are connected, the plug and the slot engage. Furthermore, the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 may also be connected by vacuum adsorption, which is not a limiting factor here.

[0047] In this application, when the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are magnetically engaged, at least one of the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 is a magnet. For example, both the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 can be magnets, in which case the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 will attract each other when they are close to each other. Alternatively, one of the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 can be a magnet, and the other can be a magnetically attracted metal, such as iron, cobalt, or nickel. When the magnet and the magnetically attracted metal are close to each other, the magnet can attract the magnetically attracted metal. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the second connector 220 can also be an electromagnet, and the first connector 210 can be a magnet or a magnetically attracted metal; this is not a unique limitation.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the first connector 210 is a magnet or a magnetically attracted metal, a first mounting groove 1141 is formed in the pressing member 100, with the opening of the first mounting groove 1141 facing the second connector 220. A second mounting groove 303 is formed in the atomizing device, with the opening of the second mounting groove 303 facing the first connector 210. The first connector 210 is mounted in the first mounting groove 1141, and the second connector 220 is mounted in the second mounting groove 303. When the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 approach each other, they attract each other and adhere together.

[0049] In some embodiments, the conductive element 300 is a conductive elastic element, which is used to elastically abut against the circuit board 21. The conductive elastic element not only conducts the circuits on the circuit board 21, but also possesses elasticity. When the conductive elastic element elastically abuts against the circuit board 21, it ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the conductive elastic element and the circuits on the circuit board 21. Furthermore, the conductive elastic element is compressed yet elastic, so when the user presses and swings the pressing member 100, the conductive elastic element exerts an elastic force on the pressing member 100 to drive the pressing member 100 to swing, thereby making the driving of the pressing member 100 effortless and highly stable. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the conductive element 300 may not be elastic. In this case, an elastic element can be provided between the pressing member 100 and the circuit board 21 to improve the pressing stability of the pressing member 100.

[0050] Optionally, the conductive element 300 is conductive foam 310, which not only has good conductivity but also a certain degree of compressive elasticity. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the conductive element 300 may also be a conductive spring or conductive silicone, etc., as long as the conductive element 300 is conductive and elastic; no single limitation is made here.

[0051] In some embodiments, the conductive element 300 is conductive foam 310, and the pressing member 100 has an extension post 113 corresponding to the position of the conductive foam 310. The conductive foam 310 is located on the side of the extension post 113 facing the circuit board 21. The design of the extension post 113 and the conductive foam 310 working together reduces the distance between the conductive foam 310 and the circuit board 21, thereby reducing the thickness of the conductive foam 310 and ensuring that the conductive foam 310 can achieve elastic deformation and elastic recovery within a limited range. In other embodiments of this application, the conductive element 300 can also be a conductive sheet. In this case, an additional elastic element, such as a spring, can be provided between the pressing member 100 and the circuit board 21.

[0052] In some embodiments, the conductive foam 310 is fixed to the extension post 113 by adhesive bonding.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The switch structure 1 includes two conductive elements 300, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the pressing member 100 at its rotation fulcrum. The circuit board 21 has wiring corresponding to at least one conductive element 300. Specifically, the circuit board 21 may have wiring corresponding to both conductive elements 300, or it may have wiring only on one side. For example, the circuit board 21 has two wirings: when the pressing member 100 is in the first position, the first conductive element 300 conducts the first wiring on the circuit board 21; when the pressing member 100 is in the second position, the second conductive element 300 conducts the second wiring on the circuit board 21. For example, circuit board 21 has a route, specifically a route corresponding to the position of the first conductive element 300, but no route corresponding to the position of the second conductive element 300. When the pressing member 100 is in the first position, the first conductive element 300 conducts the first route on circuit board 21; when the pressing member 100 is in the second position, the second conductive element 300 abuts against circuit board 21, but does not conduct the corresponding route, and the first route is disconnected. That is, in this embodiment, two conductive elements 300 can be provided on the pressing member 100 to improve the symmetry of the switch structure 1, facilitating manufacturing and installation. Circuit board 21 can be configured with one or two routes as needed.

[0054] For some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The switch structure 1 includes two conductive elements 300, each being a conductive foam 310. An extension post 113 extends from opposite sides of the pressing member 100 at its rotation fulcrum. The two conductive foams 310 are respectively mounted on the side of the two extension posts 113 facing the circuit board 21. In this embodiment, by providing two conductive foams 310 on the pressing member 100, the switch structure 1 achieves good symmetry, facilitating manufacturing and installation. The circuit board 21 can be configured with one or two routes as needed. Simultaneously, the design of the extension posts 113 and the conductive foam 310 working together reduces the distance between the conductive foam 310 and the circuit board 21, thereby reducing the thickness of the conductive foam 310 and ensuring that the conductive foam 310 achieves elastic deformation and elastic recovery within a limited range.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are magnetically attached. The switch structure 1 includes two conductive elements 300, each being a conductive foam 310. The pressing element 100 has extension posts 113 extending from opposite sides of its rotation fulcrum. The two conductive foams 310 are respectively mounted on the side of the two extension posts 113 facing the circuit board 21. In this embodiment, the magnetic attachment combined with the conductive foam 310 ensures a secure connection between the conductive foam 310 and the circuit board 21. Furthermore, the elasticity of the conductive foam 310 further enhances the secure connection and conductive stability between the conductive foam 310 and the circuit board 21.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The pressing component 100 includes a pressing body 110 and a support portion 120. The support portion 120 is supported at the middle position of the pressing body 110 along the first direction X. The support portion 120 is rotatably mounted on the atomizing device. The first connecting members 210 of the two connecting components 200 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the pressing body 110 along the first direction X. The support portion 120 can support the pressing body 110 to a certain height, allowing the pressing body 110 to swing back and forth within a certain range, thereby achieving better operating space and operability.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 7The switch structure 1 also includes a rotating shaft 400 mounted on the atomizing device; the support part 120 includes two spaced-apart support arms 121, with arc-shaped grooves 1211 formed concave on opposite sides of the two support arms 121. The two arc-shaped grooves 1211 are rotatably sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 400. The pressing body 110 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 400 via the two support arms 121, so that the pressing element 100 is rotatably mounted on the atomizing device. During assembly, the openings of the two support arms 121 facing away from the pressing body 110 can be aligned with the rotating shaft 400, and the pressing body 110 can be pushed, causing the two support arms 121 to deform and move away from each other, so that the rotating shaft 400 can be engaged in the arc-shaped grooves 1211 of the two support arms 121, thereby assembling the pressing element 100. In this embodiment, the two support portions 120 allow the pressing member 100 to be fitted onto the rotating shaft 400 from top to bottom, eliminating the need to insert the pressing member 100 into the rotating shaft 400 along its axial direction. This allows the pressing member 100 to be installed even after the rotating shaft 400 is assembled into the atomizing device, reducing the difficulty of assembling the pressing member 100 and improving its ease of assembly and disassembly. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, a shaft hole can be directly formed on the support portion 120, and then the shaft hole can be fitted into the rotating shaft 400 along its axial direction; this is not the only possible embodiment.

[0058] In this application, the spacing between the two support arms 121 and the inner diameter of the arc groove 1211 can be designed according to the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 400. In addition, in order to facilitate the introduction of the rotating shaft 400 into the arc groove 1211 of the two support arms 121, each of the two support arms 121 is provided with a guide surface (not shown) at the end away from the pressing body 110. The guide surfaces of the two support arms 121 are arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between the guide surfaces of the two support arms 121 gradually decreases along the direction close to the arc groove 1211, so that the two guide surfaces can introduce the rotating shaft 400 into the two arc grooves 1211.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The support portion 120 also includes a connecting arm 122, which is connected to the side of the pressing body 110 facing the circuit board 21. One end of each of the two support arms 121 is integrally connected to the connecting arm 122, and the ends of the two support arms 121 facing away from the connecting arm 122 are spaced apart. An arc-shaped groove 1211 is formed at the end of the support arm 121 facing away from the connecting arm 122. The connecting arm 122 can improve the structural strength of the support portion 120, the connection strength between the support portion 120 and the pressing body 110, and the connection strength between the support portion 120 and the rotating shaft 400.

[0060] In some embodiments, the pressing body 110 and the support portion 120 are integrally formed, that is, the entire pressing component 100 is formed by one-time processing or one-time injection molding. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the pressing body 110 and the support portion 120 may also be integrally connected by bonding, welding, riveting or secondary injection molding, and this is not the only limitation.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The pressing member 100 includes at least two support portions 120, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400. Each support portion 120 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 400, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400 is perpendicular to the first direction X. The arrangement of at least two support portions 120 can improve the rotational stability of the pressing member 100 on the rotating shaft 400.

[0062] Optionally, please refer to Figure 6 The pressing member 100 includes two support portions 120, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400. Each support portion 120 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 400. The two support portions 120 are symmetrically positioned near both sides of the pressing member 100 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400, thus ensuring the rotational balance of the pressing member 100 on the rotating shaft 400. Understandably, in other embodiments of this application, the number of support portions 120 may be one, in which case the width of the support portion 120 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400 can be designed to be larger; alternatively, the number of support portions 120 may be three or more, depending on the length of the pressing member 100 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400, and is not limited to a single number here.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The pressing body 110 includes a pressing plate 111 and a surrounding plate 112; a support portion 120 protrudes from one side of the pressing plate 111; the surrounding plate 112 protrudes from the periphery of one side of the pressing plate 111 and surrounds the support portion 120; the first connecting members 210 of the two connecting components 200 are respectively disposed on the surrounding plate 112. During assembly, the pressing component 100 is installed with the support portion 120 and the surrounding plate 112 facing the circuit board 21, and the support portion 120 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 400. In this embodiment, the pressing body 110 is formed by the pressing plate 111 and the surrounding plate 112, making the pressing body 110 roughly cap-shaped, which is not only simple in structure but also convenient for pressing operation.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The support arm 121 has an arc-shaped groove 1211 extending away from the pressing plate 111 relative to the surrounding plate 112. The surrounding plate 112 has a mating groove 1123 corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft 400, which rotatably engages with the rotating shaft 400. This arrangement allows the surrounding plate 112 to also rotatably support the rotating shaft 400 at its position, enabling the entire pressing member 100 to swing with the rotating shaft 400 as support. This not only improves the swing stability of the pressing member 100 but also eliminates the need for slots in the surrounding plate 112, simplifying its design.

[0065] Specifically, the enclosure 112 has two first plates 1121 spaced apart along the first direction X and two second plates 1122 spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400. The two first plates 1121 and the two second plates 1122 are connected end to end to form the enclosure 112. The two first plates 1121 have recessed mating grooves 1123 on the side opposite to the pressing plate 111, and the two first plates 1121 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 400 through the two mating grooves 1123.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The pressing body 110 also includes two extension posts 113. The two extension posts 113 protrude from one side of the pressing plate 111 and are located on opposite sides of the support part 120 along the first direction X. Each extension post 113 is provided with a conductive element 300.

[0067] In some embodiments, two extension posts 113 are respectively disposed on the inner side of one of the first plates 1121 and integrally connected to the first plate 1121. This arrangement allows the two conductive elements 300 to correspond exactly to the route positions on the circuit board 21 and allows the two conductive elements 300 to avoid other structural components on the circuit board 21, such as the display 22.

[0068] In some embodiments, the pressing plate 111, the support 120, the surrounding plate 112 and the two extension columns 113 are integrally formed, that is, the entire pressing part 100 is formed by one-time processing or one-time injection molding.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6The pressing body 110 also includes two first mounting portions 114, each protruding from one side of the pressing plate 111 and integrally connected to the inner sides of the two second plates 1122. Each first mounting portion 114 has an opening facing away from the pressing plate 111, and a first connector 210 is installed within the first mounting groove 1141. Correspondingly, the atomizing device also forms two second mounting portions 302 and two second mounting grooves 303, with two second connectors 220 respectively housed within the two second mounting grooves 303.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The pressing element 100 is made of transparent material and faces the display 22 on the circuit board 21. This arrangement allows the pressing element 100 to also function as a lens for the display 22, enabling the user to view the image displayed on the display 22 through the pressing element 100. Specifically, the display 22 is generally used to display battery level, e-liquid level, or operating mode. For example, when the atomizing device is the atomizer body 2, the display 22 can be used to display the battery level, e-liquid level, power mode switching, or flavor mode switching, etc.

[0071] For some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The circuit board 21 is provided with two displays 22, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the support portion 120 along the first direction X. The two displays 22 are respectively positioned directly opposite the pressing plate 111, allowing the user to view the display screens of the two displays 22 through the pressing plate 111. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the number of displays 22 may be one or more, as long as the displays 22 avoid the support portion 120, the extension column 113, etc.

[0072] Optionally, the pressing element 100 may be made of transparent materials such as polycarbonate sheet, ETFE film, semi-transparent film material, polystyrene PS, polyvinyl chloride PVC or acrylic.

The atomizing tube 24, the main shell 23, the first seal 25, and the second seal 26 together form a liquid storage cavity 201. The atomizing core 27 is installed inside the atomizing tube 24 and is electrically connected to the battery 28. The mouthpiece 29 is connected to the main shell 23 and communicates with the atomizing tube 24. The liquid storage chamber 201 is used to store the atomizing medium. The atomizing medium is guided to the atomizing core 27 through the atomizing tube 24. After the atomizing core 27 is energized, it heats and atomizes the atomizing medium to generate an aerosol. The aerosol is delivered to the user's mouth through the mouthpiece 29.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The atomizing body 2 also includes a battery holder 30 and a battery housing 31. The battery holder 30 is connected to the main housing 23.
