FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of aerosol atomization, and more particularly to electronic atomization devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Electronic atomizers are used to heat an aerosol substrate and generate a usable aerosol.

[0003] A conventional electronic atomization device includes an aerosol substrate storage tank, which stores the aerosol substrate. However, the aerosol substrate is a consumable item, and as the electronic atomization device is used, the aerosol substrate is continuously consumed. Therefore, when the aerosol substrate is insufficient, it is necessary to at least replace the aerosol substrate storage tank.

[0004] In the conventional electronic atomization device, the housing is generally cylindrical in structure and has at least two assembly windows, one of which is used for replacing the carrier of the aerosol substrate, such as a cartridge or an aerosol substrate storage tank, and the other assembly window is used for assembling the power supply assembly, which makes the structure of the electronic atomization device complicated and requires designing multiple shields to respectively shield different assembly windows, such as providing a bottom cover to seal the power supply assembly and a side cover or a top cover to seal the carrier of the aerosol substrate, which makes the electronic atomization device less integrated and complicated to assemble. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The objective of the embodiment of the present application includes providing an electronic atomization device, and providing an assembly window that functions as both an assembly window for the electronic atomization device and a replacement window for consumables, thereby simplifying the structure of the electronic atomization device, improving the overall integrity of the electronic atomization device, and making the assembly of the electronic atomization device easier; and exposing the assembly window through a cover, thereby exposing the connection relationship between the consumables and the power assembly, and facilitating visualization of the replacement of the consumables. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The examples of the present application are a housing having an assembly window; an aerosol base storage tank for storing the aerosol base; an aerosol generating device for generating an aerosol from the aerosol base; a power supply assembly electrically connected to the aerosol generating device for providing electrical energy necessary for aerosol generation; a cover that movably covers the assembly window; the assembly window is used to provide an opening for assembling the aerosol substrate storage tank, the aerosol generating device, and the power supply assembly into the housing; The electronic atomization device further provides that the assembly window is used as a replacement window for a consumable, for replacing a consumable through the assembly window, and the consumable is the aerosol substrate storage tank or is an entirety formed by the aerosol substrate storage tank and the aerosol generating device.

[0007] The examples of the present application are a housing defining a receiving chamber; an aerosol generating device including a first electrode; a power supply assembly including a second electrode, electrically connected to the aerosol generating device by contacting the first electrode via the second electrode, for providing electrical energy required for aerosol generation; The housing has an assembly window for providing an opening for mounting the aerosol generating device and power supply assembly to the storage chamber, and the wall of the storage chamber abuts against a surface of the aerosol generating device and / or power supply assembly so that at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is compressed and electrical conductivity is maintained between the first electrode and the second electrode, providing an electronic atomization device.

[0008] The electronic atomizer has an assembly window that functions as both an assembly window for the electronic atomizer and a replacement window for consumables, which simplifies the housing structure of the electronic atomizer and makes the electronic atomizer more complete. In addition, the cover movably covers the assembly window, so that the assembly window can be exposed by the movable cover, and the connection relationship between the consumables and the power assembly can be visualized, which avoids the new consumables not being assembled in the correct position, resulting in poor contact between the consumables and the power assembly and affecting the normal use of the user.

[0014] One embodiment of the present application provides an electronic atomization device 100. The electronic atomization device 100 includes an outer housing 1, an aerosol substrate storage tank 2, an aerosol generator 3, and a power assembly 4.

[0015] In some embodiments, the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 includes a storage tank, a first airway 22 and a connector 23 .

[0016] The first air passage 22 is used to conduct the aerosol, and in some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 5, at least a portion of the first air passage 22 is defined and formed by the inner tube of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2.

[0017] The storage tank is used to store the aerosol base, which may be a liquid aerosol base, a solid aerosol base, or a mixture of liquid and solid aerosol base. The aerosol base may be subjected to heat to generate a volatile material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 5, the first airway 22 is at least partially in the storage tank.

[0018] The connecting material 23 is used to connect the storage tank and the external housing 1, and the connecting material 23 can help the aerosol-based storage tank 2 to be more easily assembled in the external housing 1, and can also help the aerosol-based storage tank 2 to be more stably fixed in the external housing 1. In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 5, one end of the connecting material 23 is fixed to the storage tank and connected to the first airway 22, and the other end abuts against the external housing 1.

[0019] 3, 5 and 8, in some embodiments, a fixing groove 242 is provided at the distal end of the storage tank, the connecting member 23 includes a body 233 and an extension 234, the extension 234 is at the distal end of the body 233, the body 233 is detachably fixed in the fixing groove 242, and the extension 234 is interference-fitted with the proximal end of the first airway 22, thereby fixing the proximal end of the first airway 22 and the extension 234 to each other. On the premise that the body 233 and the storage tank are fixed to each other, the proximal end of the first airway 22 is indirectly fixed to the storage tank via the connecting member 23.

[0020] Since the main body 233 and the extension portion 234 of the connecting material 23 penetrate the third air passage 232, the third air passage 232 communicates with the first air passage 22 when the connecting material 23 is fixed to the storage tank.

[0021] 3 and 4, the connecting material 23 is fixed in the fixing groove 242, and its proximal end protrudes from the fixing groove 242 to abut against the external housing 1. Because the connecting material 23 has elasticity, the connecting material 23 can elastically abut against the external housing 1. After the aerosol-based storage tank 2 is assembled into the external housing 1, the connecting material 23 is in an elastic compressed state, which can make the connection between the external housing 1 and the aerosol-based storage tank 2 more stable and tighter. In addition, because the connecting material 23 has elasticity, during the process of assembling the aerosol-based storage tank 2, the connecting material 23 can elastically contract, which makes it easier to push the aerosol-based storage tank 2 into the external housing 1.

[0022] In some embodiments, the nozzle assembly 12 is provided on the external housing 1, and the nozzle assembly 12 may be integrally formed with the external housing 1 or may be fixed to the external housing 1 by assembly. Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, the nozzle assembly 12 is provided on the external housing 1, and one end of the nozzle assembly 12 is used for a user to hold in his mouth, and the other end is connected to an aerosol discharge passage (e.g., the first airway 22) to deliver the aerosol to the user's mouth. Referring to Figs. 3 and 5, the nozzle assembly 12 includes a second airway 121 and a nozzle 122 provided at a distal end of the second airway 121, the nozzle 122 can be held in the mouth, and the first airway 22 and the second airway 121 communicate with each other via a third airway 232 of the connecting member 23.

[0023] As the aerosol is conducted in the second airway 121, it may liquefy or condense to form a liquid before leaving the nozzle due to a drop in temperature or other reasons, and the liquid will flow back to the proximal end of the second airway 121 under the action of gravity and then spread radially around and leak along the walls of the nozzle assembly 12.

[0024] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 5, the connecting material 23 abuts against the nozzle assembly 12 in the external housing 1 to seal the connection between the first airway 22 and the external housing 1, thereby preventing the aerosol from leaking from the connection point between the connecting material 23 and the external housing 1 during the process in which the first airway 22 conducts the aerosol to the distal end of the second airway 121, and preventing outside air from entering the nozzle assembly 12 from the connection point between the connecting material 23 and the external housing 1 to dilute the aerosol and affect the texture, and also preventing liquid returned to the nozzle assembly 12 from overflowing from the connection point between the connecting material 23 and the external housing 1 and leaking to the outside.

[0025] 3 and 5, a ring-shaped boss 231 is provided at the proximal end of the connecting material 23, and the ring-shaped boss 231 is elastic. When the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 is attached to the housing 11, the ring-shaped boss 231 can surround the outer periphery of the second air passage 121, and the ring-shaped boss 231 is in an elastic compression state, so that when the condensate returned from the second air passage 121 spreads around along the wall surface toward the connecting material 23 of the nozzle assembly 12, it is blocked by the ring-shaped boss 231, thereby restricting the condensate within the range of the ring-shaped boss 231, or allowing the condensate to flow back from the ring-shaped boss 231 to the first air passage 22, thereby avoiding leakage of the condensate.

[0026] In some embodiments, the nozzle assembly 12 can have a recessed area around the annular boss 231, and the annular boss 231 can enter and abut the recessed area, where the recess depth or shape of the recessed area can be designed according to specific circumstances, so that the condensate returned from the nozzle assembly 12 cannot or has difficulty climbing over the annular boss 231 to the outer section of the annular boss 231. Here, the annular boss 231 may not have elasticity, and only the height of the annular boss 231 can prevent liquid creep. At least the proximal end of the annular boss 231 may be elastic, in which case the annular boss 231 can abut the recessed area, which provides a higher seal and more effectively prevents liquid creep.

[0027] In some embodiments, the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 is at least partially transparent, so that the amount of aerosol substrate stored inside the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 can be observed from the outside to intuitively determine whether the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 needs to be replaced. In addition, when the aerosol delivered from the electronic atomization device 100 is insufficient, the remaining amount of aerosol substrate inside the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 can be observed to determine whether the insufficient amount of aerosol generated is due to a lack of aerosol substrate, thereby determining whether the insufficient amount of aerosol generated is due to a lack of power of the power supply assembly 4 or a damage to the aerosol generation device 3, and providing a hint for the user on the next action.

[0028] In some embodiments, the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 is made from a non-light-transmitting material to prevent the aerosol substrate stored in the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 from undergoing physical / chemical reactions under light irradiation, thereby affecting its quality.

[0029] In some embodiments, an aerosol generating device 3 is provided within the outer housing 1, and the aerosol generating device 3 is used to directly or indirectly contact the aerosol substrate in the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and generate an aerosol from the aerosol substrate.

[0030] Further, the aerosol generating device 3 includes a heat generating assembly 31, which is indirectly or directly in contact with the aerosol substrate to release thermal energy and cause the aerosol substrate to generate volatiles to form an aerosol, and then the aerosol is discharged from an exhaust passage (e.g., the first airway 22).

[0031] In some embodiments, the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the aerosol generator 3 are fixed to each other to form a hollow bottle, or the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the aerosol generator 3 are constrained to the same package and together with the package form a hollow bottle.

[0032] 3 and 5, the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 includes an outer tube 24 and an inner tube, at least a part of the inner tube is a first air passage 22 used for conducting aerosol, the inner tube is in the outer tube 24, the space between the inner wall of the outer tube 24 and the outer wall of the inner tube is a substrate storage section 241 for storing the aerosol substrate, the proximal end of the outer tube 24 is provided with a fixing groove 242 for fixing the connecting material 23, the distal end region of the outer tube 24 is provided with a combination part for assembling with the aerosol generating device 3, and the distal end of the first air passage 22 is connected to the aerosol generating device 3 and the proximal end is connected to the connecting material 23. In addition, an oil seal plug 25 may be further provided in the outer tube 24, which blocks the substrate storage section 241 and the aerosol generating device 3 via the oil seal plug 25 and / or the first air passage 22, and the oil seal plug 25 prevents the aerosol substrate from leaking from the distal end of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2.

[0033] In another embodiment, the aerosol generation device 3 and the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 may be independent of each other, and the aerosol generation device 3 and the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 are connected via a first airway 22, for example, the distal end of the first airway 22 is connected to the aerosol generation device 3 and the proximal end of the first airway 22 is located within the aerosol substrate storage tank 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, the outer housing 1 can be used to house the consumable and power assembly 4. The consumable can be a hollow bottle with an aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and an aerosol generator 3 secured together, the consumable can be the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, the consumable can be the aerosol generator 3, or the consumable can be a hollow bottle.

[0035] In some embodiments, the outer housing 1 includes a housing 11, and the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the aerosol generation device 3 may be removably connected to the housing 11, and in some embodiments, the power assembly 4 may also be removably connected to the housing 11.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 , the housing 11 is provided with an operation window 111 and an assembly window 112, and at least one of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, the aerosol generating device 3 and the power supply assembly 4 can be mounted in the housing 11 through the assembly window 112, the operation window 111 is provided opposite the assembly window 112, and the operation window 111 corresponds to the position of the consumable A and can directly or indirectly contact the consumable A provided in the housing 11 through the operation window 111, and when an acting force is applied to the consumable A through the operation window 111, the consumable A can move in the direction opposite to its assembly direction so that at least a portion of the consumable A can exit the assembly window 112 and at least a portion can be separated from the housing 11.

[0037] 1, a side wall of the housing 11 connects its rear wall to an assembly window 112, and the housing 11 has a receiving chamber 116 between its rear wall, the side wall, and the assembly window 112 for receiving an aerosol substrate storage tank 2, an aerosol generator 3, and a power supply assembly 4. In some embodiments, the assembly window 112 is present and unique, and the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, the aerosol generator 3, and the power supply assembly 4 are all mounted within the housing 11 through the assembly window 112.

[0038] 1, 2 and 3, at least a portion of the sidewall of the housing 11 has an outwardly protruding arc-shaped structure, which allows the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating chamber 116 to be greater than the area of ​​the assembly window 112, and helps to increase the volume of the accommodating chamber 116 and better secure the consumables and power supply assembly 4, compared to a design in which the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating chamber 116 is equal to the area of ​​the assembly window. In addition, the sidewall of the arc-shaped structure has no sharp edges, providing a better grip.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the outer housing 1 further includes a cover 13, which is used to cover the assembly window 112 so as to enclose at least one of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, the aerosol generating device 3, and the power supply assembly 4 within the housing 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, the cover 13 is slidably connected to the assembly window, for example, the housing 11 is provided with a slide rail, and the cover 13 is slidably connected to the slide rail so that the cover 13 forms a slide cover structure. The consumables can be exposed by sliding the cover 13 to change the position of the cover 13.

[0041] In some embodiments, cover 13 is pivotally connected to an assembly window such that pivoting cover 13 to change the position of cover 13 exposes the consumables within housing 11 .

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cover 13 is detachably connected to the assembly window 112, for example, the cover 13 and the assembly window 112 are detachably connected to each other by a buckle structure or a magnetic attraction structure, and when the cover 13 is detached from the assembly window 112, the consumable A is exposed, and further, by directly or indirectly contacting the consumable A through the operation window 111, the consumable A can be at least partially detached from the housing 11, thereby making it easy to separate the consumable A from the housing 11 and remove the consumable A.

[0043] Optionally, the cover 13 can be opened to expose the consumable and the power assembly 4 at the same time, so that the connection between the consumable and the power assembly 4 is both visible when assembling or removing the consumable.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cover 13 may be omitted and the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, aerosol generator 3, and power assembly 4 may be relatively stably secured within the housing 11 once they pass through the assembly window.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the electronic atomizing device 100 is generally of an ICYBETEL type, which is not only beautiful but also easy to hold.

[0046] In addition, the outline of the housing 11 may be approximately elliptical or elliptical, that is, the housing 11 is small at both ends and large at the middle, and the outline of the housing 11 is a smooth arc, which conforms to the biological characteristics of the palm and has a good gripping feeling.

Here, there is no buckle connection at least between the consumable A and the walls of the accommodating chamber 116.

[0050] Furthermore, the contour of at least a portion of the assembly window 112 is an arc parallel to the contour of at least a portion of the housing 11, and has the same or approximately the same distance at each position on the two arcs parallel to each other.

There may be no gap between the section in the housing 11 for assembling the power supply assembly 4 and the section in the housing 11 for assembling the hollow vial / consumable A. In other embodiments, the space in the housing 11 for assembling the power supply assembly 4, the aerosol generator 3, and the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 may be divided into multiple sections by partitions or the like, and the assembled power supply assembly 4, hollow vial / consumable A, etc. may be assembled, respectively.

[0060] In some embodiments, the proximal end of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 abuts the housing 11 and the distal end of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 abuts the power assembly 4 via the aerosol generator 3. Alternatively, the proximal end of a hollow bottle abuts the housing 11 and the distal end abuts the power assembly 4.

[0061] Alternatively, the abutment force between the proximal end of the aerosol-based storage tank 2 and the housing 11 may be an elastic abutment force, and referring to Figs. 3 and 4, a connecting material 23 is fixed to the proximal end of the aerosol-based storage tank 2, and the connecting material 23 is at least partially elastic, so that the proximal end of the aerosol-based storage tank 2 elastically abuts the housing 11 through the connecting material 23, and the housing 11 can provide at least one elastic force directed to the distal end of the aerosol-based storage tank 2 to the aerosol-based storage tank 2, the direction of the elastic force being a third direction, the assembly direction of the consumable being a second direction, and the third direction being perpendicular to the second direction. The connecting material 23 is elastic, and at least a part of the hardness of the connecting material 23 is smaller than the hardness of the housing 11 and the storage tank. By providing the connecting material 23 in the aerosol-based storage tank 2, during the process of assembling the aerosol-based storage tank 2 to the housing 11, the connecting material 23 contracts and gives way when pressed, making it easier to insert the aerosol-based storage tank 2 into the housing 11. By using the connecting material 23, the hard-to-hard assembly between the aerosol base storage tank 2 and the housing 11 can be changed to a soft-to-hard assembly that can be contracted and released into position, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly and avoiding the aerosol base storage tank 2 and the housing 11 from being damaged during assembly.

[0062] Optionally, the contact force between the aerosol generating device 3 and the power supply assembly 4 may be an elastic contact force, and referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the power supply assembly 4 includes a battery rod 41 and an elastic pad 44, the elastic pad 44 is fixed to the battery rod 41, and the elastic pad 44 is used to elastically contact the aerosol generating device 3. Thereby, the power supply assembly 4 can provide the aerosol generating device 3 with at least one elastic force directed toward the proximal end of the aerosol generating device 3, the direction of the elastic force is a fourth direction, the assembly direction of the consumable A is a second direction, and the fourth direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Similarly, the elastic pad 44 has elasticity, and the hardness of at least a part of it is smaller than the hardness of the aerosol generating device 3 and the power supply assembly 4. By using the elastic pad 44, the hard-to-hard assembly between the aerosol generating device 3 and the power supply assembly 4 can be changed into a soft-to-hard assembly that can be contracted and handed over, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly and avoiding the aerosol generating device 3 and the power supply assembly 4 being damaged during assembly.

[0063] Optionally, referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the abutment force between the proximal end of the aerosol-based storage tank 2 and the housing 11 may be an elastic abutment force, the direction of the elastic abutment force being a third direction, and the abutment force between the aerosol generating device 3 and the power supply assembly 4 may also be an elastic abutment force, the direction of the elastic abutment force being a fourth direction, and the third direction and the fourth direction are parallel opposite directions. Here, the aerosol-based storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to the aerosol generating device 3 to form an integral structure or to form the hollow bottle. Thus, the aforementioned integral structure or hollow bottle can be fixed in the outer housing 1 or fixed to the section between the proximal end of the housing 11 and the power supply assembly 4 under the action of these two elastic abutment forces, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the aforementioned integral structure or hollow bottle and the housing 11. Furthermore, the third direction and the fourth direction are perpendicular to the assembly direction of the consumable A. Similarly, due to the elastic abutment between the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the housing 11, between the aerosol generator 3 and the power assembly 4, or between the proximal end of the hollow bottle and the housing 11, and between the distal end and the power assembly 4, the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the aerosol generator 3 are fixed between the proximal end of the housing 11 and the power assembly 4 by a soft-to-hard assembly method that can contract and give way, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly, improving the assembly efficiency, and protecting the assembled parts from damage.

[0064] Optionally, the power supply assembly 4 includes a second electrode 46, and the aerosol generating device 3 includes a first electrode 32, and when the aerosol generating device is in the receiving chamber 116 of the housing 11, the first electrode 32 and the second electrode 46 contact each other, thereby electrically connecting the power supply assembly 4 to the aerosol generating device to provide the electrical energy required to generate the aerosol. Also, when the aerosol generating device 3 is in the receiving chamber 116 of the housing 11, the wall of the receiving chamber 116 abuts against the surface of the consumable A and / or the power supply assembly 4, and at least one of the first electrode 32 and the second electrode 46 is compressed to maintain electrical conduction therebetween. Also, due to the mutual elastic extrusion between the first electrode 32 and the second electrode 46, at least a part of the consumable A abuts against the wall of the receiving chamber 116, and thus the consumable A can be relatively stably fixed in the receiving chamber 116 even without a buckle structure or a magnetic attraction structure, etc., in the receiving chamber 116. Fixing the consumable A in this manner allows the consumable A to be more closely attached to the inner wall of the storage chamber 116, which helps to reduce the volume of the storage chamber 116 and simplify the structure of the housing 11.

[0065] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 4 is removably fixed in the housing 11 by a buckle structure, and the stability of the power supply assembly 4 fixed to the housing 11 is greater than the stability of the power supply assembly 4 fixed to the housing 11 of the aerosol base storage tank 2, or the stability of the power supply assembly 4 fixed to the housing 11 of the aerosol generator 3, or the stability of the power supply assembly 4 fixed to the housing 11 of the hollow bottle formed by fixing the aerosol base storage tank 2 and the aerosol generator 3 to each other. As a result, when the consumable is moved at least partially in a direction to be removed from the housing 11 through the operation window 111, the power supply assembly 4 does not also move at least partially in a direction to be removed from the housing 11, and frequent movement of the power supply assembly 4 relative to the housing 11 is avoided, thereby protecting the power supply assembly 4.

[0066] More specifically, in some embodiments, an engaging protrusion 412 is provided on a side edge of the battery rod 41, and the engaging protrusion 412 can be fixed to the housing 11 by interfering with at least a part of the housing 11 (or by an interaction force between the engaging protrusion 412 and at least a part of the housing 11). Referring to Fig. 7, the engaging protrusion 412 is provided on a side edge of the battery rod 41, and during a certain process of assembling the battery rod 41 to the housing 11, the engaging protrusion 412 can be interference-fitted with a side wall of the housing 11.

[0067] 7 to 10, the engaging protrusion 412 has an engaging portion 4121 provided in a direction toward the side wall of the housing 11, and an engaging fitting portion 113 is provided on the side wall of the housing 11 corresponding to the engaging portion 4121, and the engaging portion 4121 has a fastened portion 4121a provided on the side facing the rear wall of the housing 11, and the engaging fitting portion has a stop portion 1131 provided on the side facing the rear wall of the housing 11, and when the engaging portion 4121 is within the engaging fitting portion 113 or when the engaging fitting portion 113 is within the engaging portion 4121, the stop portion 1131 faces the fastened portion 4121a, thereby allowing the stop portion 1131 to stop the fastened portion 4121a and prevent the battery rod 41 from retracting in the housing 11.

[0068] During the process of replacing the consumable, the engaging fitting portion 113 can move the power supply assembly 4 as the consumable A is removed from the housing 11, preventing it from being removed from the housing 11. Under the action of the engaging fitting portion 113, during the process of the consumable A moving in a direction opposite to the assembly direction, the power supply assembly 4 can be maintained in a predetermined position within the housing 11 so that the power supply assembly 4 does not move due to the movement of the consumable A relative to the housing 11.

[0069] 8, the engagement portion 4121 may be a protrusion and accordingly the engagement fitting 113 is a blind groove that does not penetrate the side wall of the housing 11, or the engagement fitting 113 is a through groove that penetrates the side wall of the housing 11. In some embodiments, the engagement fitting may be a protrusion and accordingly the engagement portion is a recess for the protrusion to fit into.

[0070] 9, in the process of assembling the battery rod 41 to the housing 11, the engagement portion 4121 first contacts the non-engagement fitting area on the side wall of the housing 11, and at this time, the engagement portion 4121 is interference-fitted with the side wall of the housing 11. In the process of interference-fitting, the frictional force between the battery rod 41 and the housing 11 plays a certain role in preventing the battery rod 41 from penetrating deeply into the housing 11 or from retracting from the housing 11. When the engagement portion 4121 enters the engagement fitting portion 113 and is engaged by the engagement fitting portion 113, the engagement portion 4121 enters a relatively loose area (e.g., a protrusion enters a recess), so that the interference fit between the engagement portion 4121 and the housing 11 may disappear or may still exist. In this case, the housing 11 mainly restricts the position of the power supply assembly 4 in the housing 11 by the stop portion 1131 of the engagement fitting portion 113. The stop portion 1131 primarily serves to position the power supply assembly 4 vertically so that the power supply assembly 4 cannot move vertically within the housing 11 in a direction opposite to its assembly direction.

[0071] In some embodiments, in order to protect the battery rod 41 and the housing 11 and prevent the housing 11 or the battery rod 41 from bursting during the process of assembling the battery rod 41 to the housing 11, at least a part of the engaging protrusion 412 or at least a part of the side edge of the battery rod 41 is configured to have elasticity, so that a certain amount of elastic deformation occurs in the engaging protrusion 412 or the side edge of the battery rod 41 during the process of the engaging portion slidingly contacting the side wall of the housing 11 before the engaging portion is stopped by the stopper portion 4121a. The elastic deformation not only protects the housing 11 and the battery, but also provides a large frictional force between the engaging portion and the side wall of the housing 11, thereby making the contact between the engaging portion and the battery rod 41 closer and ensuring the assembly effect of the battery rod 41.

[0072] 7 and 9, in order to facilitate assembly of the battery rod 41 and the housing 11, there is a guide slope b on the side of the engaging portion 4121 facing the rear wall of the housing 11, and the guide slope b mainly plays a role of transition and guide, and the guide slope b enters the engaging fitting portion 113 before the locked portion 4121a on the engaging portion 4121. The engaging portion 4121 gradually enters the engaging fitting portion 113 due to the transition and guide of the guide slope b, and finally engages with the engaging fitting portion 113.

[0073] 8 to 10, in some embodiments, a supported portion 4122 is further provided on the battery rod 41, the supported portion 4122 is provided toward the rear wall of the housing 11, and a supporting portion 114 is provided inside the housing 11, the supporting portion 114 is provided toward the supported portion 4122, and is used to support the supported portion 4122 so that the battery rod 41 cannot continue to penetrate deeply into the housing 11 along its traveling direction. Here, the supporting portion 114 and the supported portion 4122 may be in surface contact, line contact, point contact, or the like, thereby supporting the supported portion 4122.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 7 and 9, the rear wall of the housing 11 is arc-shaped, which can provide the user with a more flexible, comfortable and novel visual sensation, and can also meet the requirement that the outer side of the rear wall of the housing 11 fits in the palm of the hand when holding the housing 11, making it feel better and more comfortable to hold.

[0075] If the supported part 4122 directly contacts the arc-shaped rear wall of the housing 11, the supported part 4122 may continue to move along the arc-shaped rear wall in the assembly direction under the action of an external force, which may cause the power supply assembly 4 to be excessively assembled into the housing 11, and may even damage the housing 11 or the power supply assembly 4. To prevent this problem, referring to Figs. 7 and 9, the support part 114 includes a support base 1141 and a support surface, the support base 1141 is on the rear wall of the housing 11 and protrudes from the rear wall, the support surface is provided on the side of the support base 1141 facing away from the rear wall of the housing 11, and the support surface is arranged to statically support the supported part 4122 so that the supported part 4122 cannot slide on the support surface relative to the support surface.

[0076] 7 and 9, the support surface of the supported part 4122 and the support part 114 may be in surface contact, line contact or point contact, and the support surface of the support part 114 may be a plane, which is perpendicular to the moving direction of assembling the power supply assembly 4 to the housing 11. As a result, when the supported part 4122 contacts the support surface of the support part 114 along the moving direction of the power supply assembly 4, it can only receive the supporting force provided by the support surface in the opposite direction to the moving direction when the power supply assembly 4 is assembled, without moving rearward from the rear wall of the housing 11 or downstream from the mounting position of the support part 114 along the support surface, thereby protecting the housing 11 and the power supply assembly 4. The support part 114 can provide a more stable support to the supported part 4122 by its flat support surface, and can be applied to a non-circular structure in which the rear wall of the housing 11 is arc-shaped or has other shapes.

[0077] Optionally, the support surfaces of the supported portion 4122 and the supporting portion 114 are in surface contact, line contact or point contact, and the support surface of the supporting portion 114 is provided with an anti-slip member to prevent the supported portion 4122 from sliding on the support surface.

[0078] Alternatively, the supporting surface of the supporting portion 114 and the supported portion 4122 are in surface contact, and the contact surface is a corrugated surface or a tooth-meshing surface.

[0079] In some embodiments, the rear wall of the housing 11 is arc-shaped, and the support portion 114 includes a portion of the arc-shaped rear wall of the housing 11 and a baffle fixed to the rear wall, the baffle being positioned downstream of the portion of the arc-shaped rear wall of the housing 11 so as to stop the supported portion 4122 from moving downstream or further rearward than the rear wall of the housing 11 under the action of an external force.

[0080] In some embodiments, the rear wall of the housing 11 is planar, and the support 114 can be located on the rear wall of the housing 11 and can be flush with the rear wall of the housing 11 .

[0081] 7, 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the battery rod 41 has an accommodating cavity 414 for accommodating the battery 42, the accommodating cavity 414 has an opening on the side facing the rear wall of the housing 11, the battery is assembled into the accommodating cavity 414 through the opening, an end surface 4123 of the opening at least partially faces the rear wall of the housing 11, and the supported portion 4122 includes at least a part of the end surface 4123 of the opening, that is, the supporting portion 114 supports at least a part of the end surface 4123 of the opening. By making at least a part of the end surface 4123 the supported portion 4122, the gap between the battery rod 41 and the side wall of the housing 11 can be reduced, and the process of specially manufacturing the supporting portion 114 on the battery rod 41 can be omitted, which can improve production efficiency and reduce costs.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the engaging portion 4121 engages with the engaging fitting portion 113 or when the stop portion 1131 stops the stopped portion 4121a, the supporting portion 114 contacts the supported portion 4122, and further, referring to Fig. 9, when the supporting portion 114 contacts the supported portion 4122, the stopped portion 4121a can contact the stop portion 1131 of the engaging fitting portion 113. Furthermore, the support base 1141 can have elasticity so as to elastically abut against the supported portion 4122, thereby ensuring that the stopped portion 4121a abuts against the stop portion 1131 and the battery rod 41 is stably fixed in the housing 11.

[0083] 7 to 9, in some embodiments, a guide groove 4124 is provided on the battery rod 41, a guide strip 115 is provided on the housing 11, and the guide strip 115 and the guide groove 4124 are slidably connected. The role of the guide strip 115 and the guide groove 4124 is to insert the battery rod 41 into the housing 11 along the sliding direction between the guide groove 4124 and the guide strip 115, thereby preventing misalignment during assembly, thereby reducing assembly errors, and preventing the housing 11 and the battery rod 41 from being deformed or damaged during assembly. The guide strip 115 is provided in the housing 11 and is fixed to the housing 11, so that after the guide strip 115 enters the guide groove 4124, the power supply assembly 4 cannot cross the boundary and enter the assembly space of the consumable A, or the assembly space of the aerosol generating device 3, or the assembly space of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, etc., but can only move along the extending direction of the guide strip 115, and then can enter the assembly space of the power supply assembly 4 in the housing 11. Therefore, after the consumable A is released from the housing 11, the power supply assembly 4 cannot move to the proximal end or distal end of the housing 11, and can only be held in place, so that when a new consumable A is installed, there is no need to adjust the position of the power supply assembly 4 in the housing 11, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the consumable A.

[0084] 9, since the starting height of the guide groove 4124 on the battery rod 41 is smaller than the starting height of the engaging protrusion 412 on the battery rod 41, the guide groove 4124 on the battery rod 41 contacts the housing 11 before the engaging protrusion 412. As a result, the power supply assembly 4 has already begun to directionally enter the housing 11 by the guide of the guide groove 4124 and the guide strip 115 before the engaging protrusion 412 contacts the side wall of the housing 11 in an interference fit.

[0085] The power supply assembly 4 is mainly used to electrically connect to the heat generating assembly 31 of the aerosol generating device 3 to provide electrical energy required for the heat generating assembly 31 to generate heat. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the power supply assembly 4 is used to electrically connect to the aerosol generating device 3, and includes electrically connecting to the heat generating assembly 31 to provide electrical energy required for the heat generating assembly 31 to generate heat to release volatiles from the aerosol substrate. In some embodiments, the battery in the power supply assembly 4 may be a disposable power source, a rechargeable battery, or even a direct plug power source wired to an external power supply device. In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 4 further includes an electrical control panel and a second electrode. In some embodiments, a control circuit and a sensor are integrated in the electrical control panel, and the sensor is used to detect the presence or absence of an inhalation action, and when the sensor detects an inhalation action, the control circuit can control the power supply to output a current, a voltage, or power through the second electrode. The heat generating assembly 31 is electrically connected to the second electrode, and the second electrode outputs power to the heat generating assembly 31 to cause the heat generating assembly 31 to generate heat.

[0086] 3, 4, 6 and 7, the power supply assembly 4 includes a battery rod 41, a battery 42, a second electrode 46, an airflow sensor 43 and an elastic pad 44.

[0087] In some embodiments, the battery rod 41 has a housing cavity for housing the battery, the airflow sensor, and a part of the second electrode. With reference to Figures 1 and 4, when the power supply assembly 4 is mounted in the external housing 1, the opening of the housing cavity of the battery rod 41 faces the rear wall of the housing 11, and the closed side of the housing cavity faces the assembly window 112, so that when the cover 13 is opened, the contents (e.g., the battery, the airflow sensor, etc.) housed in the housing cavity are not exposed and are hidden.

[0088] 1, 4 and 6, in some embodiments, a lamp sheet 47 is provided on the outer surface of the closed side of the receiving cavity, the lamp sheet 47 is electrically connected to the battery 42, and the position of the cover 13 corresponding to the lamp sheet 47 can transmit light, so that when the lamp sheet 47 is electrically conductive and emits light, at least a part of the light can be seen through the cover 13, which can be used as an indication signal or a status indication signal of the electronic atomization device 100. The lamp sheet 47 is provided on the battery rod 41, and the lamp sheet 47 and the external housing 1 are independent of each other, so that the lamp sheet 47 will not be adversely affected when the external housing 1 is dismantled.

[0089] In some embodiments, a main magnetic sheet is attached to the outer surface of the closed side of the accommodating cavity, and a secondary magnetic sheet is provided at a position corresponding to the main magnetic sheet on the cover 13, and when the cover 13 and the housing 11 are combined with each other to cover the assembly window, there is a magnetic attraction force between the main magnetic sheet and the secondary magnetic sheet that prevents the cover 13 from detaching from the housing 11.

[0090] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3, 4, 6 and 7, there is a support member 411 at the proximal end of the battery rod 41, which can be used to support the elastic pad 44 so that the elastic pad 44 is elastically connected to the aerosol generating device 3, thereby allowing the elastic pad 44 to cushion the impact on the power assembly 4 when the consumable A is attached to the housing 11, and reducing vibration of the power assembly 4 when the consumable A is attached and removed.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3, 4, 6 and 7, the support member 411 further has an intake hole 45 communicating with outside air, and an air supply hole is provided in the aerosol generation device 3, which air supply hole communicates with the first air passage 22, and when the support member 411 abuts against the aerosol generation device 3, the intake hole 45 communicates with the air supply hole, so that outside air can enter the first air passage 22 through the intake hole 45 and the air supply hole in sequence.

[0092] 4, 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the support member 411 includes a groove 4111, the groove 4111 includes a groove bottom and a groove wall surrounding the groove bottom, the groove wall is disposed toward the aerosol generating device 3, and the air intake hole 45 may be located in the groove wall of the groove 4111 or may be located at the groove bottom of the groove 4111. The groove 4111 is disposed corresponding to the air intake hole and collects liquid from the air intake hole, which may be condensed liquid returned from the air intake hole or stored aerosol substrate leaking from the aerosol substrate storage tank 2.

[0093] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4, 6 and 7, the support member 411 further includes a plurality of pipes a, the pipes a connect the accommodating cavity and the groove 4111, and the proximal ends of the pipes a protrude from the bottom of the groove 4111, thereby forming a step between the proximal ends of the pipes a and the bottom of the groove 4111, and the section between the bottom of the groove 4111 and the pipes a protruding from the bottom includes a liquid storage section that can be used to store liquid that has entered the groove.

[0094] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4, 6 and 7, there are at least three pipes a, at least two of which are for the positive second electrode 46 and the negative second electrode 46 to pass through, and one pipe a is for communication with the airflow sensor 43.

[0095] The elastic pad can be used to make a sealed connection with the aerosol generating device 3, so that when the power supply assembly 4 and the aerosol generating device 3 are connected, the liquid from the air inlet can be prevented from leaking between the support member and the aerosol generating device 3. The elastic pad can also provide an elastic force toward the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 to the aerosol generating device 3 so that the consumables can be better attached in the external housing 1.

[0096] 4, 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the elastic pad 44 includes an annular body 441, which protrudes from the groove wall of the groove 4111 of the support member 411 and abuts against the aerosol generating device 3 instead of the groove wall of the groove 4111. Since the annular body 441 has elasticity, the abutment between the annular body 441 and the aerosol generating device 3 is an elastic abutment, and the annular body 441 is in an elastic compressed state when it abuts against the aerosol generating device 3, and the compression direction when the annular body 441 is in an elastic compressed state is opposite to the compression direction when the annular boss 231 is in an elastic compressed state. The aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the aerosol generating device 3 can be fixed in the outer housing 1 under the action of these two elastic forces.

[0097] In some embodiments, the ring may be provided to surround the outer wall of the groove, or may be provided on the top of the groove wall of the groove, and the top of the ring is used to abut against the aerosol generation device 3. In some embodiments, a part of the ring surrounds the outside of a partial region of the distal end of the aerosol generation device 3, and yet another part of the ring protrudes upward and inward to abut against the aerosol generation device 3.

[0098] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4, 6 and 7, the air intake hole 45 is located in the groove wall of the groove 4111, the annular body 441 is arranged to surround the groove wall, and a notch 442 is provided at a position of the annular body 441 relative to the air intake hole 45 so that the outside air is not blocked by the elastic pad 44 in the process of entering the groove 4111 through the air intake hole 45, and the air intake hole 45 or the notch 442 is higher than the liquid storage section so that the liquid in the liquid storage section does not overflow from the air intake hole 45 or the notch 442.

[0099] In some embodiments, referring to Figs. 4, 6 and 7, the elastic pad 44 is in the groove 4111, the ring-shaped body 441 is attached to the inner surface of the groove wall of the groove 4111, and the elastic pad 44 may further include a liquid storage bottom and a tubular protuberance 443. The tubular protuberance 443 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the pipe a so that the proximal end of the pipe a passes through the tubular protuberance 443. The proximal end of the tubular protuberance 443 is open to facilitate contact between the second electrode 46 and the first electrode 32 on the aerosol generating device 3. The proximal end of the pipe a may not protrude beyond the tubular protuberance 443, may be flush with the proximal end of the tubular protuberance 443, or may protrude beyond the tubular protuberance 443. The liquid storage bottom connects the ring body 441 and the tubular ridge 443, and a storage space is formed between the ring body 441, the liquid storage bottom and the tubular ridge 443, which includes a liquid storage section and is used to store the liquid from the air supply hole. Therefore, instead of directly clearing the liquid on the battery rod 41, the liquid can be cleared by taking out the elastic pad 4, making the clearing easier and facilitating the operation.

[0100] The airflow sensor 43 is provided on the side of the support frame facing the receiving cavity, and is connected to one pipe a. When the nozzle 122 has a suction action, the airflow inside the airflow sensor 43 passes through the corresponding pipe a and enters the air supply hole, forming negative pressure on both sides of the airflow sensor 43. When the negative pressure exceeds a certain threshold, it can be detected. In response to the detection result, the battery can output a voltage or current through the second electrode. The elastic pad 44 provides a hermetic connection between the groove 4111 and the aerosol generator 3, ensuring the high sensitivity of the airflow sensor 43.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, a method for installing the electronic atomization device 100 is provided. The method is applied to the electronic atomization device 100 and includes the following steps 1, 2, 3 and 4.

[0102] In step 1, an existing consumable in the external housing 1 is directly or indirectly contacted through an operation window 111 opened in the external housing 1.

[0103] Methods for directly or indirectly contacting existing consumables in the external housing 1 include the following S1 and S2.

[0104] In S1, the configuration of the external housing 1 is changed so that the consumables are exposed. The configuration of the external housing 1 can be changed by dismantling the cover 13 on the external housing 1 and removing the cover 13 to expose an assembly window on the external housing 1. The configuration of the external housing 1 can be changed by sliding the cover 13 on the external housing 1 to remove the cover 13 from the assembly window on the external housing 1. The configuration of the external housing 1 can be changed by rotating the cover 13 on the external housing 1 to remove the cover 13 from the assembly window on the external housing 1.

[0105] When the assembly window is exposed, the consumable is exposed. When the assembly window is exposed, a force can be applied to the consumable via the operation window 111, so that the consumable can be moved in a direction to be removed from the housing 11.

[0106] In S2, if the operating window 111 is openable and can penetrate the external housing 1, a finger or a tool can be passed directly through the operating window 111 to directly contact an existing consumable in the external housing 1, and a force in a first direction can be directly applied to the existing consumable to push it out.

[0107] Or, in S2, if the operation window 111 is of a shielding type and can block the inside and outside of the external housing 1, at least a part of the operation window 111 can be pushed or moved with a finger or a tool so that there is a pushing force or a repulsive force between at least a part of the area of ​​the operation window 111 and the existing consumable, and the pushing force or the repulsive force can move the existing consumable in a direction to move away from the housing 11.

[0108] In some embodiments, step 2 may be as follows: A force in a first direction is applied to the existing consumable by passing through the operation window 111 or by pressing at least a part of the operation window 111, so as to move the existing consumable from the first direction and to separate at least a part of the existing consumable from the external housing 1.

This makes it easy to remove the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 or the aerosol generator 3.

[0109] In some embodiments, step 2 may further be as follows: the acting force in the first direction is applied to the consumable by passing through the operation window 111 or by pressing at least a part of the operation window 111, so as to move the existing consumable from the first direction and displace the first electrode and the second electrode. Here, the consumable is the aerosol substrate storage tank 2, or the consumable is a hollow bottle consisting of the aerosol substrate storage tank 2 and the aerosol generator 3, and the hollow bottle is at least partially detached from the power supply assembly 4, or the consumable is the aerosol generator 3 detachably connected to the external housing 1. Thereby, when the electronic atomization device 100 is in a standby state or temporarily not used, the electrical connection between the first electrode and the second electrode can be cut off to reduce the self-discharge of the battery. In some embodiments, step 3 may further be as follows: the acting force is applied to the assembly window from the second direction, so as to push the new consumable into the external housing 1 and fix at least a part of the new consumable to the external housing 1. Here, the second direction is a direction parallel to and opposite to the first direction, and the new consumable may have the same shape as the existing consumable. The new consumable is then covered with the cover 13 to stably regulate its position within the outer housing 1 .

[0110] In some embodiments, step 3 may further be as follows: the acting force moves the consumable from a second direction through the assembly window to electrically contact the first electrode with the second electrode, where the second direction is an opposite direction parallel to the first direction. In some embodiments, the outer housing 1 is further provided with an opposite opening facing the operation window 111, through which the consumable can be directly or indirectly contacted, so that the consumable can be moved from the second direction through the opposite opening to electrically contact the first electrode with the second electrode. The opposite opening can realize the electrical connection between the first electrode and the second electrode when the outer housing 1 is open.

[0111] In some embodiments, step 3 may further be as follows: through an opposite opening opened in the external housing 1, an acting force in a second direction may be applied to the consumable by passing through the opposite opening or by pressing at least a part of the opposite opening, so as to move the consumable to electrically connect the first electrode to the second electrode. The opposite opening and the operation window 111 are provided on opposite sides of the external housing 1, and the opposite opening may have the same shape or structure as the operation window 111, and the opposite opening may allow the first electrode to be electrically connected to the second electrode without dismantling the external housing 1.

Then, by applying a force to the consumables in the direction opposite to the assembly direction, at least a part of the consumables can be detached from the external housing 1 or the movable frame, so that the consumables can be easily removed. Alternatively, when the use of the electronic atomization device 100 is temporarily unnecessary, at least a part of the consumables can be detached from the external housing 1 or the movable frame to cut off the electrical connection between the second electrode and the first electrode, thereby reducing the self-discharge of the battery, and thereby extending the standby time of the electronic atomization device 100.

[0115] The electronic atomization device 100 described in the embodiment of the present application has an external shape that is approximately ICYBETEL type. It is not only beautiful, but also its structural shape is in line with the biological characteristics of the palm, has a good gripping feeling, and can improve the user's gripping feeling.

[0116] In the electronic atomization device 100 described in the embodiment of the present application, the power assembly 4 is provided with an elastic pad, which can not only dampen the vibration of the power assembly 4 when the consumable is inserted or removed, but also provide an upward elastic resistance force to the consumable so that the consumable is stably attached to the external housing 1 or the movable frame. In addition, the elastic pad provides a soft contact between the power assembly 4 and the aerosol generating device 3, which can reduce the wear of the aerosol generating device 3 during the process of removing or inserting the aerosol generating device 3 compared to a hard contact.

[0117] The mounting method of the electronic atomization device 100 described in the embodiments of the present application is to apply a force to the consumable by passing through the operation window 111 with a finger or a tool or moving at least a part of the operation window 111, so that the consumable can be at least partially detached from the outer housing 1 or the movable frame easily and quickly, so as to facilitate the removal and replacement of the consumable, or to cut off the electrical connection between the consumable and the power assembly 4, so as to prevent the self-discharge of the battery in the power assembly 4 and extend the standby time of the battery.
