Detailed Implementation

[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0037] Figures 1 and 2 illustrate an atomizing device 100 according to a first embodiment of this application. The atomizing device 100 includes a housing assembly 101, which includes a battery compartment 114, a cavity formed inside the housing assembly 101. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the housing assembly 101 includes a main housing 107, a middle housing 108, a liquid storage housing 109, and an upper housing 106. The battery compartment 114 is located inside the main body. The liquid storage housing 109 is snapped into the main housing 107, and a portion of the liquid storage housing 109 and the middle housing 108 are accommodated inside the main housing 107. The upper housing 106 is mounted on top of the main body and covers the circuit board 113. The upper housing 106 includes a nozzle portion 102, the top of which is a suction outlet 104 from which the aerosol generated by the atomizing device 100 flows out.

[0038] The liquid storage shell 109 is used to store the atomizing liquid. As shown in Figure 2, the atomizing device 100 also includes an atomizing core 110 and a liquid storage cotton 111, both of which are installed inside the middle shell 108. Both the atomizing core 110 and the liquid storage cotton 111 are cylindrical, with the liquid storage cotton 111 covering the outside of the atomizing core 110. The outer circumferential surface of the atomizing core 110 contacts the inner circumferential surface of the liquid storage cotton 111, allowing the liquid storage surface to transfer the absorbed atomizing liquid to the atomizing core 110. The atomizing device 100 may also include other absorbent cotton or components for transferring atomizing liquid (not shown), thereby transferring the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage shell 109 to the liquid storage cotton 111.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2, the atomizing device 100 also includes a battery 115, which is detachably disposed within the battery compartment 114 and electrically connected to the atomizing coil 110, providing power to the atomizing coil 110. When the atomizing coil 110 is activated, it heats up, thereby heating the atomizing liquid and converting it into an aerosol. During inhalation, air passes through the inner circumferential surface of the atomizing coil 110, carrying the aerosol out through the suction port 104. The aerosol flow path is shown by the dashed line in Figure 2.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2, the atomizing device 100 includes a circuit board 113. The atomizing core 110 and battery 115 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 113 (conductive components such as wires and springs used for this connection are not shown). Specifically, the battery 115 and the atomizing core 110 are electrically connected via the circuit board 113. The circuit board 113 is installed in the cavity enclosed by the middle shell 108 and the upper shell 106. The atomizing device 100 also includes a display screen 112 and a screen cover 103. The display screen 112 is electrically connected to the circuit board 113 and is used to display information about the atomizing device 100 (e.g., battery level). The screen cover 103 is transparent so that the user can see the information displayed on the display screen 112. The screen cover 103 covers the outside of the display screen 112 and protrudes outside the upper shell 106, protecting the display screen 112.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3, the battery compartment 114 has an opening 105 that allows the battery 115 to enter and exit. In this embodiment, the opening 105 is located at the bottom of the battery compartment 114. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the atomizing device 100 also includes a battery compartment cover 116, which prevents the battery 115 from falling out of the battery compartment 114. When the user needs to replace the battery 115, the user can remove the battery compartment cover 116. The battery compartment cover 116 includes a main body 121 and a latching part. The latching part is located on the side of the main body 121 facing the battery 115. The main body 121 is disposed at the opening 105 to cover the battery compartment 114, and the latching part is engaged with the housing assembly 101. In the first embodiment, the latching part includes a first latching part 117, and the main shell 107 of the housing assembly 101 includes a second latching part 118. The second latching part 118 is configured as a latching hole (through hole) or a latching groove, and the first latching part 117 latches with the second latching part 118. In the first embodiment, there are two of both the second latching part 118 and the first latching part 117, and the second latching part 118 and the first latching part 117 are latched in a one-to-one correspondence. As shown in FIG3, in the first embodiment, the second latching part 118 on the left is configured as a latching groove, and the second latching part 118 on the right is configured as a latching hole. In some other embodiments not shown, the second latching parts 118 may all be configured as latching holes or all as latching grooves.

[0042] As shown in Figure 3, in the first embodiment, the main body 121 is provided with a first slot 119, which protrudes outside the battery compartment 114. The first slot 119 can be configured as a through slot (as shown in Figure 3) or a blind slot. The first slot 119 allows the user's fingertip or the tip of a tool (knife, screwdriver, or other slender tool) to be inserted. After the user inserts their fingertip or tool into the first slot 119, the user can pry open the battery compartment cover 116, thereby releasing the engagement between the battery compartment 114 and the housing assembly 101 and removing the battery compartment cover 116. The user can apply force not only to the bottom surface of the main body 121 but also to the first slot 119. The first slot 119 provides the user with a convenient location to pry open the battery compartment cover 116, thus facilitating the user's removal of the battery compartment cover 116.

[0043] As shown in Figure 5, the battery compartment cover 116 also includes two guide portions 123. The guide portions 123 are connected to the main body 121 and protrude towards the battery 115 relative to the main body 121. The guide portions 123 are arc-shaped, as shown in Figure 4, and their outer peripheral surfaces abut against the wall of the battery compartment 114. In some embodiments, a gap may be left between the outer peripheral surface of the guide portion 123 and the wall of the battery compartment 114. During the process of connecting the battery compartment cover 116 to the main housing 107, the user can hold the battery compartment cover 116 and move it from bottom to top until the first latching portion 117 and the second latching portion 118 engage with each other. During the upward movement of the battery compartment cover 116, the guide portions 123 can guide the movement of the battery compartment cover 116, improving the ease of installation. In this embodiment, each guide portion 123 is connected to a first latching portion 117. The battery compartment cover 116 does not necessarily need to include two guide portions 123. In other embodiments, the number of guide portions 123 can be appropriately increased or decreased. Furthermore, in other embodiments not shown, not every guide portion 123 is necessarily connected to a first engaging portion 117; some guide portions 123 may not be connected to the first engaging portion 117, as long as at least one is connected. For the interconnected first engaging portion 117 and guide portion 123, the first engaging portion 117 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the guide portion 123, and the first engaging portion 117 protrudes relative to the outer peripheral surface of the guide portion 123. This arrangement facilitates the engagement of the first engaging portion 117 with the second engaging portion 118 located on the wall of the battery compartment 114.

[0044] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the guide portion 123 on the right side is connected to a first latching portion 117, and the guide portion 123 is provided with a deformation hole 124 located between the first latching portion 117 and the main body portion 121. The battery compartment cover 116 can be made of plastic and has a certain degree of elasticity and deformation capability. Due to the deformation hole 124, the guide portion 123 has good deformation capability. During the process of the user removing or installing the battery compartment cover 116, the wall of the battery compartment 114 will press against the first latching portion 117, thereby deforming the guide portion 123. After the guide portion 123 is deformed, the first latching portion 117 will also move inward a certain distance, thereby reducing the pressure between the first latching portion 117 and the wall of the battery compartment 114, reducing the resistance between the battery compartment cover 116 and the battery compartment 114, and thus facilitating the guide portion 123 to enter and exit the second latching portion 118. The deformation hole 124 is arc-shaped. During the disassembly of the battery compartment cover 116, when the first latching part 117 is pressed inward by the user, the deformation of the deformation hole 124 mainly shrinks towards the center of the main body 121. When the pressure applied to the first latching part 117 is removed, the deformation hole 124 returns to its original shape. As shown in Figure 5, the guide part 123 on the left side does not have a deformation hole 124. In some other embodiments, the guide part 123 on the left side may also have a deformation hole 124. As long as at least one guide part 123 has a deformation hole 124 (and the guide part 123 is connected to the first latching part 117), the ease of disassembly and installation of the battery compartment cover 116 can be improved.

[0045] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the first slot 119 is located at the edge of the main body 121, and the first slot 119 is adjacent to one of the first latching portions 117. For example, the first slot 119 is located on the right edge of the main body 121, and the first slot 119 is adjacent to the right-side first latching portion 117. Because the first slot 119 is adjacent to one of the first latching portions 117, when the user pries open the battery compartment cover 116, the portion of the battery compartment cover 116 near the first slot 119 is more easily deformed, and the first latching portion 117 adjacent to the first slot 119 is more easily separated from the second latching portion 118. Therefore, the proximity of the first slot 119 to one of the first latching portions 117 improves the ease of removing the battery compartment cover 116.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3, the battery compartment cover 116 also includes a first support portion 122 and a plurality of second support portions 120. The bottom of the first support portion 122 and the bottom of the second support portions 120 are both connected to the side of the main body 121 facing the battery 115. As shown in Figure 5, the plurality of second support portions 120 are arranged around the first support portion 122. The first support portion 122 is cylindrical, and the top of the second support portions 120 is bent toward the first support portion 122 to make the second support portions 120 elastic. As shown in Figure 3, the top of the first support portion 122 and the top of the second support portion 120 both abut against the battery 115. The first support portion 122 and the second support portion 120 jointly support the bottom of the battery 115, and because the second support portion 120 is elastic, the elastic force of the second support portion 120 causes the battery 115 to tend to move upward, thereby keeping the top of the battery 115 in contact with the conductive spring, reducing the risk of poor contact between the battery 115 and the conductive spring. The conductive spring is not shown. It is connected to the circuit board 113. The top of the battery 115 contacts the conductive spring, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the battery 115 and the circuit board 113.

[0047] Figures 7 to 10 illustrate the second embodiment of this application. Similar to the first embodiment, the battery compartment cover 116 of the second embodiment also includes a main body 121, a first latching portion, a guide portion 123, a first support portion 122, and a second support portion 120, and the main body 121 is also provided with a first slot 119. In the second embodiment, the mating relationships between these parts of the battery compartment cover 116 can be referred to the description in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the atomizing device 100 of the second embodiment also includes a button 127 and an elastic element 126, and the wall of the battery compartment 114 is also provided with a third latching portion 131, which is a through hole, with one end of the through hole exposed outside the housing assembly 101.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9, a third latching portion 131 is disposed on the main housing 107, and one end of the third latching portion 131 (through hole) is located on the outer surface of the main housing 107. A button 127 is movably connected to the battery compartment cover 116, and the button 127 can move relative to the battery compartment cover 116, thereby switching between a locked position and an unlocked position. In FIG9, the button 127 is in the locked position, at which time the button 127 is latched to the third latching portion 131, and the second latching portion 118 and the first latching portion 117 are also latched to each other, and the battery compartment cover 116 is fixed to the main housing 107. In FIG10, the button 127 is in the unlocked position, at which time the button 127 is separated from the third latching portion 131 (i.e., the latching between them is released), and the user can remove the battery compartment cover 116. Both the button 127 and the battery compartment cover 116 are connected to an elastic member 126, and the elastic force of the elastic member 126 is used to drive the button 127 from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0049] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, when a user needs to remove the battery compartment cover 116, the user can press the button 127 with their finger or a tool to disengage the button 127 from the third latching part 131, thereby separating the second latching part 118 from the first latching part 117 and removing the battery compartment cover 116. The second embodiment essentially replaces the second latching part 118 and the first latching part 117 on the right side of the first embodiment with the third latching part 131 and the button 127. Since the button 127 can be pressed, the disengagement between the third latching part 131 and the button 127 is more convenient, which improves the ease of removing the battery compartment cover 116. As shown in Figure 8, the first slot 119 can be located at the edge of the main body 121 and is adjacent to the third latching part 131. This reduces the distance between the button 127 and the first slot 119, making it easier for the user to press the button 127 and pry open the battery compartment cover 116 sequentially.

[0050] The shape of button 127 and the installation method of elastic member 126 will be described below. As shown in Figure 7, button 127 includes a pressing part 128, an inserting part 129, and a limiting part 130. The pressing part 128 and the limiting part 130 are respectively connected to the two ends of the inserting part 129. The battery compartment cover 116 also includes a mounting part 125, which is connected to the main body part 121. The inserting part 129 is slidably inserted inside the mounting part 125. The limiting part 130 and the pressing part 128 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting part 125. The limiting part 130 can abut against the left end face of the mounting part 125, thereby limiting the rightward movement of button 127. Elastic member 126 is sleeved on the outside of the inserting part 129. One end of elastic member 126 abuts against the right end face of the mounting part 125, and the other end of elastic member 126 abuts against the left end face of the pressing part 128. The pressing part 128 is used to insert into and engage with the third locking part 131.

[0051] As shown in Figure 9, when button 127 is in the locked position, the limiting part 130 abuts against the mounting part 125, and the pressing part 128 is located in the third locking part 131 (through hole). When the pressing part 128 is pressed, button 127 moves to the left to the unlocked position (as shown in Figure 10), and the pressing part 128 disengages from the third locking part 131. At this time, the elastic member 126 is compressed. When the pressing of the pressing part 128 is released, the elastic force of the elastic member 126 drives button 127 to move to the right, and the pressing part 128 re-locks into the third locking part 131. In this way, the elastic member 126 automatically resets button 127 to the locked position, and the user no longer needs to manually move button 127 to the locked position.

[0052] Figures 11 to 13 illustrate a third embodiment of this application. In this third embodiment, the edge of the main body 121 and the housing assembly 101 together define a second slot 132 (as shown in Figure 11), which protrudes from the outside of the battery compartment 114. The second slot 132 also allows the user's fingertip or the tip of a tool to be inserted. After the user inserts their fingertip or tool into the second slot 132, they can pry open the battery compartment cover 116, thereby releasing the engagement between the battery compartment 114 and the housing assembly 101 and removing the battery compartment cover 116. The second slot 132 also provides the user with a convenient location to pry open the battery compartment cover 116, making it easier for the user to remove the battery compartment cover 116. The first slot 119 is not shown in the third embodiment, but in practice, the first slot 119 and the second slot 132 can coexist, providing the user with more convenient locations to pry open the battery compartment cover 116.

[0053] As shown in Figure 12, in addition to the main body 121, the first support 122, the second support 120, the first snap-fit ​​part 117, and the guide part 123, the battery compartment cover 116 of the third embodiment also includes a positioning part 133, the wall of the battery compartment 114 is also provided with a fourth snap-fit ​​part 134, and the buckle part also includes a fifth snap-fit ​​part 138. The fourth snap-fit ​​part 134 and the fifth snap-fit ​​part 138 can snap into each other.

[0054] As shown in Figure 13, the wall of the battery compartment 114 is provided with a second latching portion 118 and a fourth latching portion 134. The fourth latching portion 134 is a latching groove in the shape of an L. The fourth latching portion 134 includes a first groove segment 136 and a second groove segment 135. One end of the first groove segment 136 extends to the opening 105 at the bottom of the battery compartment 114, and the other end of the first groove segment 136 communicates with the second groove segment 135. The first groove segment 136 extends along the axial direction (up-down direction) of the battery compartment 114, and the extension direction (left-right direction) of the second groove segment 135 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first groove segment 136.

[0055] The fifth latching part 138 and the first latching part 117 are located on the same side of the main body 121. The fifth latching part 138 can slide along the first groove segment 136 and the second groove segment 135. The installation process of the battery compartment cover 116 in the third embodiment is shown in Figure 13. Referring to Figure 13, the user first moves the battery compartment cover 116 upward, and then moves the battery compartment cover 116 to the left, so that the first latching part 117 and the second latching part 118 are finally latched. The process of removing the battery compartment cover 116 is the reverse of the above process, and will not be described here. During the upward movement of the battery compartment cover 116, the fifth latching part 138 enters the first groove segment 136 and slides along the first groove segment 136. After the fifth latching part 138 slides to the top of the first groove segment 136, the user can slide the fifth latching part 138 into the second groove segment 135 and slide along the second groove segment 135. When the fifth latching portion 138 is located at the end of the second slot 135 near the first slot 136 (i.e., the right end of the second slot 135), the first latching portion and the second latching portion 118 are separated and not latched. When the fifth latching portion 138 is located at the end of the second slot 135 away from the first slot 136 (i.e., the left end of the second slot 135), the first latching portion 117 and the second latching portion 118 are latched. In the third embodiment, the user can release or restore the latching between the first latching portion 117 and the second latching portion 118 by sliding the battery compartment cover 116 along the extension direction of the second slot 135, making the installation and removal of the battery compartment cover 116 more convenient.

[0056] As shown in Figure 13, the wall of the battery compartment 114 is provided with a positioning notch 137. When the fifth latching part 138 is located at the end of the second slot 135 away from the first slot 136 (i.e., the left end of the second slot 135), the positioning part 133 is disposed in the positioning notch 137; when the fifth latching part 138 is located at the end of the second slot 135 close to the first slot 136 (i.e., the right end of the second slot 135), the positioning part 133 is located outside the positioning notch 137 and outside the battery compartment 114. The cooperation between the positioning notch 137 and the positioning part 133 facilitates the user in positioning the battery compartment cover 116, thereby facilitating the user in installing the battery compartment cover 116.

[0057] Referring to Figures 11 and 13, the edge of the main body 121 away from the positioning part 133, together with the housing assembly 101, defines the second slot 132. In some embodiments, the left edge of the main body 121, together with the liquid reservoir 109 of the housing assembly 101, defines the second slot 132. An "unlocking direction" is defined below, satisfying the following: the end of the second slot segment 135 away from the first slot segment 136 (i.e., the left end of the second slot segment 135) is the distal end, and the end of the second slot segment 135 closer to the first slot segment 136 (i.e., the right end of the second slot segment 135) is the proximal end, with the distal and proximal ends distributed sequentially along the unlocking direction. Taking Figures 11 to 13 as an example, the unlocking direction is from left to right. The user can engage the engagement between the second latching part 118 and the first latching part 117 by moving the battery compartment cover 116 along the unlocking direction. The second slot 132 and the positioning part 133 are also distributed sequentially along the unlocking direction. In this way, when the user pries the battery compartment cover 116 through the insertion slot, the battery compartment cover 116 can slide, thereby releasing the latch between the first latching part 117 and the second latching part 118.
