[0042] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0043] The present application provides an atomization device. Referring to Figures 1-7 , the atomization device 300 includes an atomization device 100 and a battery unit 40 . The battery unit 40 is connected to one side of the atomization device 100 and can provide electrical energy for the atomization device 100 .

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the atomizing device 100 has a fixed part 10 and a movable part 20, and the movable part 20 is rotatably connected to the fixed part 10. The battery unit 40 can be connected to the fixed part 10. The fixed part 10 includes a support base 11, which can serve as a base for supporting the movable part 20. The movable part 20 includes a rotating bracket 21 and a plurality of atomizing components 22, and the plurality of atomizing components 22 are mounted on the rotating bracket 21. The number of atomizing components 22 can be 2, 3, 4 or more. The atomizing component 22 stores an atomizing matrix, which can be heated to generate an aerosol. The flavors of the atomizing matrix stored in each atomizing component 22 can be different, so that the user can experience different inhalation flavors. By mounting a plurality of atomizing components 22 on the rotating bracket 21, a plurality of relatively independent atomizing components 22 form an integral module, which can realize modular assembly and improve the assembly efficiency of the atomizing device 100.

[0045] The rotating bracket 21 is rotatable relative to the support base 11, allowing one of the atomizer assemblies 22 to be switched to the atomization operating position. The atomization operating position refers to the position of the atomizer 22 where the stored atomized substrate is heated to generate an aerosol when the atomizer device 100 is in operation, such as when a user draws in through the mouthpiece 121. The rotating bracket 21 is rotatable relative to the support base 11, allowing the atomizer assemblies 22 to be switched quickly and conveniently.

[0046] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6, the fixing portion 10 further includes a suction nozzle 121, a sealing member 122, a control assembly 16, and a bottom cover 17. The suction nozzle 121 is connected to one end of the support base 11. The sealing member 122 is used to seal the oil cup 221 of the atomizing assembly 22. The sealing member 122 can be made of silicone, which has good compressibility and can enhance the airtightness of the oil cup 221, thereby preventing leakage of the atomized matrix. Optionally, the sealing member 122 is provided on the suction nozzle 121 and combined with the suction nozzle 121 to form the suction nozzle assembly 12, so that the two can be assembled as a whole to improve assembly efficiency.

[0047] Referring to Figures 6 and 8, in one embodiment, the support base 11 includes a first housing 111, a rotating shaft 112, and a bottom housing 113. The first housing 111 has an interior space, and the rotating bracket 21 is disposed within the first housing 111. The suction nozzle 121 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 112, and the bottom housing 113 is connected to the first housing 111 and the opposite end of the rotating shaft 112 away from the suction nozzle 121. The rotating bracket 21 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 112 and can rotate about the rotating shaft 112, allowing the rotating bracket 21 to rotate relative to the support base 11, so that one of the atomizing assemblies 22 can communicate with the suction nozzle 121, thereby switching it to the atomizing working position. Multiple atomizing assemblies 22 are housed within the first housing 111. The rotating bracket 21 is at least partially exposed outside the first housing 111, so that the movable portion 20 can be rotated through the exposed portion. The first housing 111 serves as a protective casing for the atomizing assemblies 22, facilitating transportation and storage of the atomizing device 100. The first housing 111 may be cylindrical, and its cross-section may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, etc. The bottom housing 113 is connected to the first housing 111 and the end of the rotating shaft 112 away from the nozzle 121. The bottom housing 113, the first housing 111, and the rotating shaft 112 enclose a space for mounting the atomizer assembly 22.

[0048] Referring to Figures 3 and 6 , in one embodiment, a bottom cover 17 is provided on the end of the first housing 111 away from the nozzle 121, and a control assembly 16 is mounted between the support base 11 and the bottom cover 17. The control assembly 16 controls the operating state of the atomizer assembly 22. The control assembly 16 may include a circuit board 161, a microphone 162, and a microphone holder 163. The microphone 162 is mounted on the circuit board 161, and the microphone holder 163 covers the microphone 162. The battery unit 40 includes a battery 15. The microphone 162 controls the connection between the atomizer assembly 22 and the battery 15 by sensing changes in airflow. In some embodiments, when inhalation occurs through the nozzle 121, the microphone 162 senses the changes in airflow and controls the connection between the atomizer assembly 22 and the battery 15, allowing the atomizer assembly 22 to heat the atomized substrate to generate aerosol. When inhalation ceases, the microphone 162 disconnects the atomizer assembly 22 from the battery 15, stopping heating.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 7, the rotating bracket 21 includes a bracket top cover 211, a bracket sleeve 212, a bracket base 213 and a partition plate 214. The bracket sleeve 212 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 112, and the bracket top cover 211 and the bracket base 213 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the bracket sleeve 212, and the bracket base 213 is used to support multiple atomization assemblies 22. The partition plate 214 is plate-shaped, and multiple partition plates 214 are spaced apart on the periphery of the bracket sleeve 212. The partition plates 214, the bracket sleeve 212, the bracket top cover 211 and the bracket base 213 are surrounded to form the installation position of the atomization assembly 22, so that multiple relatively independent atomization assemblies 22 can be installed on the rotating bracket 21 to form an integral module. In addition, the installation position of the atomizer assembly 22 is formed by the partition plate 214, the partition plate 214 is located on the side of the atomizer assembly 22, the outer periphery of the rotating bracket 21 is hollowed out, and the side of the atomizer assembly 22 away from the bracket sleeve 212 is exposed outside the rotating bracket 21, which can prevent the atomizer assembly 22 from being blocked and facilitate the display of information of the atomizer assembly 22.

[0050] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the atomizer assembly 22 includes an oil cup 221, an atomizer core 222, an oil reservoir 223, an oil absorber 224, and an electrode 225. The oil cup 221 has an internal space, and the oil reservoir 223 is housed therein. The oil reservoir 223 can be made of fiber cotton and is used to store atomized substrate. The atomizer core 222 is mounted within the oil cup 221. The atomized substrate in the oil reservoir 223 is transferred to the atomizer core 222, which heats the atomized substrate to generate an aerosol. The oil absorber 224 is located at the end of the oil cup 221 near the inhaler nozzle 121 and is used to absorb condensed liquid from the aerosol, thereby improving the taste of the aerosol. The electrode 225 is inserted into the end of the oil cup 221 away from the inhaler nozzle 121. The electrode 225 is electrically connected to the atomizer core 222, and the atomizer core 222 is electrically connected to the battery 15 via the electrode 225. The oil cup 221 may include an oil cup shell 2211, an oil cup top cover 2212 and an oil cup base 2213. The oil cup top cover 2212 is arranged on one end of the oil cup shell 2211. The oil cup top cover 2212 and the oil cup shell 2211 are arranged to form a space for installing the oil storage part 223. The oil cup base 2213 is arranged on one end of the oil cup shell 2211 away from the oil cup top cover 2212.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1-3 and 6, in some embodiments, the battery unit 40 includes a second housing 13, a display assembly 14, and a battery 15. At least a portion of the second housing 13 has a curved surface. The second housing 13 has an opening, which is connected to the first housing 111. An installation space 131 is formed between the inner wall of the second housing 13 and the outer wall of the first housing 111. The display assembly 14 and the battery 15 are installed in the installation space 131. The display assembly 14 is used to display information, and the battery 15 provides operating power for the atomizer 100. Generally speaking, the longitudinal dimension of the installation space 131 (the Z direction shown in Figure 6) is larger than the transverse dimension. The display assembly 14 and the battery 15 can be installed on either side of the installation space 131 along the longitudinal direction (the Z direction shown in Figure 6) of the atomizer 300. This allows the battery 15 to be arranged in the relatively large longitudinal dimension of the installation space 131, thereby increasing the volume of the battery 15 and improving the battery life of the atomizer 300. By arranging the second shell 13 and the first shell 111, an installation space 131 for installing the display component 14 and the battery 15 is formed. The display component 14 and the battery 15 are located on one side of the movable part 20, so that the atomizing device 300 has reasonable size ratios in the vertical and horizontal directions, the internal space is fully utilized, and the external shape is beautiful.

[0052] In the related art, when the atomizer assembly is switched by a rotation operation, the rotational displacement of the atomizer assembly is difficult to control, the atomizer assembly cannot be quickly aligned and connected with the nozzle, and the atomizer assembly is difficult to accurately switch to the atomization working position.

[0053] In order to solve the above problems, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 9, and 10, one of the support base 11 and the rotating bracket 21 is provided with a positioning member 19, and the other is provided with a positioning portion 216. That is, the positioning member 19 can be provided on the support base 11, and correspondingly, the positioning portion 216 is provided on the rotating bracket 21; or, the positioning member 19 is provided on the rotating bracket 21, and correspondingly, the positioning portion 216 is provided on the support base 11. When the rotating bracket 21 rotates to a preset position, the positioning member 19 and the positioning portion 216 are positioned and cooperated with each other to achieve positioning when the rotating bracket 21 and the support base 11 rotate relative to each other. For example, the positioning member 19 cooperates with the positioning portion 216 to generate a braking force, so that one of the atomizing components 22 is locked in the atomizing working position, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the atomizing component 22 when it rotates, and the atomizing component 22 can be accurately switched to the atomizing working position.

[0054] Referring to Figures 6, 9, and 11, in one embodiment, a positioning portion 216 is provided on the side of the rotating bracket 21. The side of the rotating bracket 21 extends along the longitudinal direction of the atomizing device 300, and the longitudinal dimension of the side is greater than the transverse dimension. By providing the positioning portion 216 on the side of the rotating bracket 21, a larger positioning portion 216 can be arranged, so that the positioning member 19 cooperates with the positioning portion 216 to generate a greater braking force, thereby achieving rapid positioning of the atomizing assembly 22 during rotation. One end of the positioning member 19 is connected to the bottom shell 113 or the first shell 111, and the other end extends to the rotating bracket 21 and cooperates with the positioning portion 216. Connecting the positioning member 19 to the bottom shell 113 or the first shell 111 allows the positioning member 19 to be at least partially located outside the interior space of the first shell 111, thereby reducing the internal space occupied by the first shell 111 and facilitating the installation of the rotating bracket 21.

[0055] Optionally, the positioning member 19 and the positioning portion 216 are positioned and matched by magnetic attraction. In some embodiments, the positioning member 19 is a magnetic member, and the positioning portion 216 is a magnetic member or is made of a material that can be magnetically attracted by a magnetic member (such as iron, nickel, and cobalt). When the rotating bracket 21 rotates to a preset position, the positioning member 19 applies a magnetic attraction force to the positioning portion 216, and the magnetic attraction force forms a braking force on the rotating bracket 21, causing the rotating bracket 21 to stop rotating, and the atomizing assembly 22 can accurately switch to the atomizing working position.

[0056] Optionally, one end of the positioning member 19 abuts against the surface of the positioning portion 216 , and the positioning member 19 and the positioning portion 216 achieve positioning cooperation through the force of the contact surface.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6, 9, and 10, the bracket base 213 is positioned adjacent to the bottom shell 113, a positioning portion 216 is disposed on a sidewall of the bracket base 213, and a positioning member 19 is at least partially disposed outside the first shell 111. One end of the positioning member 19 is connected to the bottom shell 113, while the other end extends to the outer periphery of the first shell 111. This arrangement allows for a closer distance between the positioning portion 216 and the positioning member 19, one end of which is connected to the bottom shell 113, facilitating the mating of the positioning portion 216 and the positioning member 19, thereby reducing the size of the positioning member 19. A third through hole 1112 is defined on the outer periphery of the first shell 111, corresponding to the positioning portion 216. One end of the positioning member 19, which extends to the outer periphery of the first shell 111, protrudes through the third through hole 1112 and engages with the positioning portion 216. This allows the positioning member 19 to be at least partially located outside the interior space of the first shell 111, thereby minimizing the space occupied by the interior space of the first shell 111.

[0058] The positioning portion 216 can be a split structure, that is, the positioning portion 216 can be multiple components spaced apart and arranged on the side wall of the support base 213, each component being capable of positioning and cooperating with the positioning member 19 to enable one of the atomizer assemblies 22 to switch to the atomization working position. In one embodiment, the positioning portion 216 is a one-piece structure. As shown in Figure 9, the positioning portion 216 is annular, which can simplify the processing of the positioning portion 216. The support base 213 is provided with multiple first through holes 2131 at positions corresponding to the atomizer assemblies 22. The positioning portion 216 is located at the bottom of the support base 213 and is arranged around the outer periphery of the multiple first through holes 2131. The first through holes 2131 are provided in the support base 213, and the bottom of the support base 213 is hollowed out. The atomizer assembly 22 can be at least partially accommodated in the first through holes 2131. For example, the bottom of the atomizer assembly 22 can be flush with the bottom of the support base 213, fully utilizing the thickness of the support base 213 to accommodate the atomizer assembly 22, thereby improving the internal space utilization of the atomizer device 100. Optionally, the positioning portion 216 may be integrally provided with the bracket base 213 , that is, the positioning portion 216 may be a part of the bracket base 213 , and the positioning portion 216 may be integrally machined and formed with the bracket base 213 , further simplifying the processing technology of the positioning portion 216 .

[0059] Referring to Figures 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the positioning portion 216 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 2161, and the plurality of positioning grooves 2161 are arranged at intervals along the circumference on the side wall of the bracket base 213, and correspond to the position of each atomizer assembly 22. Optionally, as shown in Figures 9 and 12, the positioning portion 216 is provided with grooves or blind holes at intervals along the circumference near the side of the bottom shell 113, and the opening position of the groove or blind hole corresponds to the position of the atomizer assembly 22, and the groove wall or the hole wall of the blind hole forms the positioning groove 2161. The processing method of the positioning groove 2161 is simple, which can simplify the processing technology of the positioning portion 216. The positioning member 19 is provided with a positioning protrusion 192 at the position corresponding to the third through hole 1112, and the positioning protrusion 192 can be selectively clamped in one of the positioning grooves 2161 to lock the corresponding atomizer assembly 22 in the atomization working position. Positioning protrusion 1911 is provided through third through-hole 1112, allowing the majority of the structure of positioning arm 191 to be positioned outside the interior space of first housing 111. Positioning protrusion 1911 extends into the interior space of first housing 111, thereby reducing the space occupied by the interior space of first housing 111. Positioning protrusion 192 is retained in positioning groove 2161, where contact between positioning protrusion 192 and the groove wall of positioning groove 2161 generates a force, thereby achieving positioning and engagement. Compared to using magnetic positioning elements, positioning portion 216 does not require additional components, thereby reducing the number of materials and lowering costs.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the positioning member 19 also includes a positioning arm 191, and a positioning protrusion 192 is provided at one end of the positioning arm 191 close to the third through hole 1112. The positioning arm 191 is elastic so that the positioning protrusion 192 elastically abuts against the side wall of the bracket base 213. Exemplarily, the positioning arm 191 is a strip-shaped or sheet-shaped structure, and the material of the positioning arm 191 can be plastic or metal. The positioning arm 191 is set to be elastic. When the rotating bracket 21 rotates, the positioning arm 191 can be elastically deformed, thereby changing the magnitude of the force exerted on the contact surface between the positioning member 19 and the positioning portion 216. The force forms a braking force on the rotating bracket 21, so that the rotating bracket 21 stops rotating, and the atomization assembly 22 can accurately switch to the atomization working position. A second mounting post 1134 is provided on the side of the bottom shell 113 away from the atomizer assembly 22, and one end of the positioning arm 191 away from the positioning protrusion 192 is installed on the second mounting post 1134. The positioning arm 191 is bent at the turning point where the corresponding first shell 111 is connected to the bottom shell 113. The positioning arm 191 is bent so that the end of the positioning arm 191 away from the second mounting post 1134 can be close to the outer wall of the atomizer assembly 22, reducing the occupancy of the internal space of the first shell 111. Optionally, one end of the positioning arm 191 is provided with an opening, and the positioning arm 191 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting post 1134 using screws. A second mounting post 1134 is provided on the side of the bottom shell 113 away from the atomizer assembly 22 to install the positioning arm 191. The second mounting post 1134 is located outside the internal space of the first shell 111. The operating space when assembling the positioning arm 191 is large, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 10 and 11. In some embodiments, the first shell 111 also has a limiting notch 1111. The limiting notch 1111 is set at the turning position where the first shell 111 is connected to the bottom shell 113. The positioning arm 191 is clamped in the limiting notch 1111 to limit the positioning arm 191 from rotating along the rotation direction of the rotating bracket 21, thereby improving the working stability of the positioning arm 191.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the positioning protrusion 192 includes a butt surface 1921 and at least one guide surface 1922. The butt surface 1921 is arranged on the side of the positioning protrusion 192 close to the bracket base 213, and the guide surface 1922 is inclined from the butt surface 1921 toward the surface of the positioning arm 191, so that a smooth transition is formed between the guide surface 1922 and the butt surface 1921, which can reduce the friction resistance between the positioning protrusion 1911 and the positioning portion 216, thereby improving the feel when adjusting the rotation of the rotating bracket 21.

[0063] Referring to Figures 13-17 , in some embodiments, a damping member 18 is further provided on the support base 11, and a damping portion 215 is further provided on the bottom of the rotating bracket 21. One end of the damping member 18 is connected to the bottom shell 113 or the first housing 111, and the other end of the damping member 18 can cooperate with the damping portion 215 to increase the damping during the rotation of the rotating bracket 21. The damping can hinder the rotation of the rotating bracket 21 relative to the support base 11, making it easier for the user to feel the adjustment process of the atomizer assembly 22, thereby enhancing the switching and adjustment feel of the atomizer device 100. One end of the damping member 18 is connected to the bottom shell 113 or the first shell 111, so that at least a portion of the damping member 18 can be located outside the internal space of the first shell 111, thereby reducing the internal space occupied by the first shell 111 and facilitating the installation of the rotating bracket 21; the damping part 215 is set at the bottom of the bracket base 213. The damping part 215 is set using the bracket base 213, which can also reduce the internal space occupied by the first shell 111 and improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the atomizing device 100.

[0064] Optionally, the damping member 18 is a friction member, and the damping portion 215 is a friction plate. The end of the friction member closest to the friction plate abuts against the friction plate. The friction plate can be formed by providing a rough surface on the bracket base 213, or it can be made of a wear-resistant material (such as wear-resistant ceramic) and mounted on the bracket base 213. One end of the friction member abuts against the friction plate. When the rotating bracket 21 rotates, the friction member and the friction plate generate friction. This frictional force can increase the damping of the rotating bracket 21 during rotation, thereby hindering the rotation of the rotating bracket 21 relative to the support base 11.

[0065] Optionally, the damping member 18 is a magnetic member whose magnetic force can vary periodically, for example, the damping member 18 can be an electromagnet. The damping portion 215 can be a magnetic member or made of a material that can be magnetically attracted by a magnetic member (such as iron, nickel, and cobalt). When the rotating bracket 21 rotates, the damping member 18 applies a periodically varying magnetic force to the damping portion 215. This magnetic force increases the damping of the rotating bracket 21 during rotation, thereby hindering the rotation of the rotating bracket 21 relative to the support base 11.

[0066] Optionally, one end of the damping member 18 abuts against the surface of the damping portion 215 , and the damping member 18 and the damping portion 215 achieve damping cooperation through the force of the contact surface.

[0067] The damping portion 215 may be a split structure, that is, the damping portion 215 may be a plurality of components arranged at intervals on the bracket base 213, and each component may cooperate with the damping member 18 to hinder the rotation of the rotating bracket 21 relative to the support seat 11. In one embodiment, the damping portion 215 is an integrated structure, as shown in FIG13 , and the damping portion 215 is annular, which can simplify the processing technology of the damping portion 215. The damping portion 215 is located at the bottom of the bracket base 213 and is arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of first through holes 2131. Optionally, the damping portion 215 may be provided integrally with the bracket base 213, that is, the damping portion 215 may be a part of the bracket base 213, and the damping portion 215 may be integrally processed and formed with the bracket base 213, further simplifying the processing technology of the damping portion 215.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6, 14, and 15, the damping member 18 is disposed on a side of the bottom housing 113 facing away from the bracket base 213, and the damping portion 215 is disposed on the bottom wall of the bracket base 213, which facilitates abutment and engagement with the damping member 18 disposed on the bottom housing 113, thereby reducing the size of the damping member 18. The bottom housing 113 defines a second through hole 1131 corresponding to the damping portion 215. One end of the damping member 18 is connected to the bottom housing 113, and the other end extends into the second through hole 1131, where it contacts the damping portion 215 to form a damping engagement. The damping portion 215 and the positioning portion 216 can be an integral structure, so that the damping portion 215 can be integrally processed and formed with the positioning portion 216 and the bracket base 213. On the one hand, the amount of materials is reduced and the assembly efficiency can be improved. On the other hand, generally speaking, in order to quickly position the atomizing assembly 22 when rotating, the braking force generated by the positioning member 19 and the positioning portion 216 is relatively large, and in order to make the feel of adjusting the rotating bracket 21 when rotating good, the damping force between the damping member 18 and the damping portion 215 is relatively small. 216 are respectively arranged on the bottom surface and side surface of the bracket base 213. Since the size of the side wall of the bracket base 213 in the longitudinal direction is larger than the size in the transverse direction, the larger size of the side wall of the bracket base 213 in the longitudinal direction can be used to arrange a larger-sized positioning portion 216. Correspondingly, the smaller size of the bottom surface of the bracket base 213 in the transverse direction is used to arrange a smaller-sized damping portion 215, which can reduce the thickness of the side wall of the bracket base 213, reduce the internal space occupied by the first shell 111, and improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the atomization device 100.

[0069] In some embodiments, the positioning portion 216 is disposed on the side wall of the bracket base 213, and the damping portion 215 is disposed on the bottom wall of the bracket base 213, adjacent to the positioning portion 216. One end of the positioning member 19 is connected to the bottom shell 113 or the first housing 111, while the other end extends to the side wall of the bracket base 213 and engages with the positioning portion 216. The damping member 18 and the positioning member 19 are integrally structured. In some embodiments, the damping member 18 can be made of metal, and the positioning member 19 can be made of elastic plastic. The damping member 18 is embedded within the positioning member 19. The damping member 18 has no limit in the axial direction of the first shell 111, and is deformed by the force of the damping part 215 in the opposite direction for a long time, thereby affecting the damping force of the damping member 18 on the damping part 215. The damping member 18 and the positioning member 19 are arranged as an integrated structure. The damping member 18 can be limited in the axial direction of the first shell 111 by the positioning member 19, thereby ensuring the stability of the damping force of the damping member 18 on the damping part 215.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 15 , in some embodiments, the damping member 18 includes a resilient damping arm 181. A first mounting post 1132 is provided on the side of the bottom housing 113 facing away from the bracket base 213. One end of the damping arm 181 is connected to the first mounting post 1132, and the other end of the damping arm 181 has a bent structure that extends into the second through-hole 1131 and elastically abuts against the surface of the damping portion 215. Exemplarily, the damping arm 181 is a strip or sheet-like structure made of metal. The elasticity of the damping arm 181 allows it to elastically deform when the rotating bracket 21 rotates, thereby changing the force exerted on the contact surface between the damping portion 215 and the damping portion 215. This increases the damping resistance of the rotating bracket 21 during rotation, thereby hindering the rotation of the rotating bracket 21 relative to the support base 11. The damping arm 181 is made of metal. When the rotating bracket 21 rotates, the damping part 215 and the damping part 215 vibrate due to the change in the force on the contact surface, thereby making a sound, which makes it easier for the user to feel the adjustment process of the atomizer assembly 22.

[0071] Optionally, as shown in Figures 15 and 17, the damping arm 181 includes a damping section 1811, which is provided at one end of the damping arm 181 close to the damping portion 215, and is passed through the second through hole 1131. The damping section 1811 has a bending structure, and the bending portion of the bending structure elastically abuts against the surface of the damping portion 215. Providing a bending structure in the damping section 1811, on the one hand, allows the damping arm 181 to be formed by simply bending it, which is convenient for processing and can simplify the processing technology of the damping arm 181; on the other hand, the bending portion elastically abuts against the surface of the damping portion 215, thereby increasing the contact area between the damping section 1811 and the surface of the damping portion 215, and can increase the damping when the rotating bracket 21 rotates.

[0072] Optionally, as shown in Figures 15 and 17, the damping arm 181 further includes a mounting section 1812, which is disposed at the end of the damping arm 181 away from the damping portion 215. The mounting section 1812 has an annular bent structure and is mounted and fixed to the first mounting post 1132. Optionally, the mounting section 1812 is mounted and fixed to the first mounting post 1132 using screws that pass through the annular bent structure of the mounting section 1812; alternatively, the annular bent structure of the mounting section 1812 is sleeved onto the first mounting post 1132. Providing the annular bent structure on the mounting section 1812 facilitates the fixed connection between the mounting section 1812 and the first mounting post 1132, simplifying the assembly process of the damping arm 181.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG15 , a limiting groove 1133 is further provided on one side of the first mounting post 1132. A portion of the damping arm 181 is accommodated within the limiting groove 1133 to limit the damping arm 181 from rotating in the direction of rotation of the rotating bracket 21. Optionally, the damping arm 181 further includes a limiting section 1813, which is connected between the mounting section 1812 and the damping section 1811. The limiting section 1813 is bent from the mounting section 1812 toward one side of the damping section 1811. The limiting groove 1133 is provided on one side of the first mounting post 1132, and the limiting section 1813 is disposed within the limiting groove 1133 to limit the damping arm 181 from rotating in the direction of rotation of the rotating bracket 21. A bend is provided in the limiting section 1813 , and the structures on both sides of the bend form a plane. The limiting groove 1133 can limit the plane, thereby limiting the damping arm 181 from rotating along the rotation direction of the rotating bracket 21 , thereby improving the working stability of the damping arm 181 .

[0074] Referring to FIG. 16 , in some embodiments, the damping portion 215 includes a plurality of barrier walls 2151 spaced circumferentially along the outer periphery of the bottom of the bracket base 213. The end of the damping member 18 proximate the damping portion 215 elastically abuts against the surface of the barrier wall 2151. The barrier wall 2151 is used to hinder relative movement between the end of the damping member 18 proximate the damping portion 215 and the damping portion 215, thereby increasing the damping during rotation of the rotating bracket 21. The plurality of barrier walls 2151 are arranged, at least partially, in a uniformly distributed wave or tooth-like structure. Optionally, as shown in FIG. 16 , grooves or blind holes are spaced circumferentially along the side of the damping portion 215 proximate the bottom shell 113. The walls of the grooves or blind holes form the barrier walls 2151, thereby creating a wave or tooth-like arrangement of the barrier walls 2151. The blocking wall 2151 arranged in a wave or tooth-like structure is provided to increase the damping during the rotation of the rotating bracket 21 . The wave or tooth-like structure is easy to process, and the processing technology of the damping part 215 can be simplified.

[0075] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the damping arm 181 can be deformed and adjusted to change the force applied by the damping arm 181 to the damping portion 215, thereby changing the damping force, allowing the user to experience different switching and adjustment feelings to meet the user's personalized needs. For example, the damping arm 181 is made of metal and has a strip or sheet structure. The damping arm 181 is provided with a bending structure. The deformation of the damping arm 181 can be adjusted by adjusting the bending angle of the damping arm 181, thereby changing the force applied by the damping arm 181 to the damping portion 215.
