[0026] The disclosure provides a housing structure. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 7 and 8, the housing structure includes a first housing 1 and a second housing 2. The first housing 1 defines a chamber 11 in the first housing 1. The second housing 2 is detachably connected to the first housing 1. The first housing 1 is capable of disengaging from the second housing 2. The second housing 2 is configured to expose and close the chamber 11. A first operating module is detachably connected into the chamber 11. A second operating module is detachably connected into the chamber 11.
[0027] Specifically, to facilitate understanding, the atomizer is taken as an example for elaboration. The first housing 1 is detachably connected to the second housing 2. The first housing 1 defines a chamber 11 for placing the first operating module and the second operating module. The chamber 11 is a semi-closed structure, so that the chamber 11 can be opened through disassembly between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 and closed through connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. In addition, the first operating module in the chamber 11 is detachably connected to the second housing 2, and the second operating module in the chamber 11 is detachably connected to the second housing 2, thereby achieving the separate configuration of the atomizer. Through the disassembly between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 and connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, the technical problem of poor user atomization experience caused by the integrated structure of the atomizer in the related art can be solved. It is noted that the first operating module may be an atomization unit 6 of the atomizer, and the second operating module may be a power supply unit 7 of the atomizer.
[0028] In specific embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a control unit 3 is disposed in the housing structure. The control unit 3 is located at a bottom of the chamber 11, a connection electrode 31 for conducting a circuit of the first operating module and a pin 32 for conducting a circuit of the second operating module are disposed at one side of the control unit 3 facing an opening of the chamber 11.

The first operating module can maintain a stable connection with the connection electrode 31 under the gravity of the first operating module. Similarly, the second operating module can maintain a stable connection with the pin 32 under the gravity of the second operating module, thereby ensuring stability of a connection circuit.
[0031] The first housing 1 is detachably connected to the second housing 2, and the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 cooperatively define the chamber 11 which can be opened. The first housing 1 defines an accommodating cavity in the first housing 1. The first housing 1 defines an opening on one side of the first housing 1 facing the second housing 2. The opening is in communication with the accommodating cavity of the first housing 1 to form the semi-closed structure. The control unit 3 is disposed in the chamber 11 of the first housing 1 to control an atomization operation. The connection electrode 31 and the pin 32 on the control unit 3 are configured to conduct an internal circuit of the control unit 3. The first operating module of the atomizer and the second operating module of the atomizer are disposed in the chamber 11 of the first housing 1. Since the chamber 11 can be opened and closed by the second housing 2, the first operating module and the second operating module can be detached and replaced. The first operating module may be detachably connected to the control unit 3 through the connection electrode 31 (or the pin 32), and the second operating module may be detachably connected to the control unit 3 through the pin 32 (or the connection electrode 31), thereby establishing conduction of internal lines between various units. Compared with the atomizer with an integrated structure in the related art, the embodiments of the disclosure provide the housing structure. An electrical circuit between the first operating module and the second operating module can be conducted through the control unit 3 between the second housing 2 and the first housing 1. In practice, the first operating module in the first housing 1 and the second operating module in the second housing 2 can be replaced, thereby solving the technical problem of poor user atomization experience caused by the integrated structure of the atomizer in the related art. In addition, the first operating module and the second operating module are arranged in the chamber 11 and can be sealed by the second housing 2, thereby improving the mounting convenience.

[0034] Further, an insulation layer is disposed between the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112.
[0035] Specifically, the insulation layer is disposed between the first operating module and the second operating module to ensure stability of operating performance of the first operating module and the second operating module, thereby improving safety performance of the housing structure. The insulation layer may be an insulation plate made of glass fiber cloth bonded with epoxy resin and pressed at a high temperature, or rubber.
[0036] In specific embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the housing structure further includes a fixing member 5. The fixing member 5 is fastened in the chamber 11. The fixing member 5 and the bottom of the chamber 11 cooperatively define an accommodating cavity for receiving the control unit 3.
[0037] Specifically, the fixing member 5 is disposed at the bottom of the chamber 11 for fixing the control unit 3, ensuring stability of a connection circuit. In addition, the fixing member 5 is made of rubber or silica gel.
[0038] Silica gel is a polymer compound composed of silicon and oxygen, and has the characteristics of porous property, soft elasticity, high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and the like. The fixing member 5 made of silica gel not only provides fixation to the control unit 3 but also severs as insulation on the one hand and prevents the control unit 3 from being contaminated by condensate or an atomized substrate in the atomizer on the other hand.
[0039] In specific embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the second housing 2 defines an air channel 21 therein. A bottom of the air channel 21 is located in the first chamber 111 or the second chamber 112.
[0040] Specifically, the air channel 21 extends into the first chamber 111 to fix the first operating module to prevent the first operating module from shaking in the first chamber 111. In the case where the first operating module is the atomization unit 6. The air channel 21 extends into the first chamber 111 to be in communication with an atomization passage in the atomization unit 6, improving the sealing performance of the atomization passage, thereby improving the atomization experience.Embodiment 2
