As shown in
In the atomization device provided by this embodiment, when atomization is to be performed, the electrically conductive heating circuit 22 is energized to heat the atomization liquid to implement atomization, and meanwhile, the power storage battery module 9 is charged. After the electrically conductive heating circuit 22 is de-energized, the atomization ends, and the power storage battery module 9 with power stored can supply power to the functional module 3 separately. That is, the atomization device can detect the surrounding gas separately even when atomization is not being performed. Therefore, the functional module 3 can work independently, so that the atomization device can be used flexibly and the user experience is improved.
Specifically, the electrically conductive heating circuit 22 includes a first electrode 221, an electrically conductive heat generation structure 222 and a second electrode 223. One end of the first electrode 221 is electrically connected to one end of the electrically conductive heat generation structure 222, and another end of the first electrode 221 extends to an outer surface of the housing 1. One end of the second electrode 223 is electrically connected to another end of the electrically conductive heat generation structure 222, and another end of the second electrode 223 extends to the outer surface of the housing 1. A positive electrode of the power storage battery module 9 is electrically connected to the first electrode 221, and a negative electrode of the power storage battery module 9 is electrically connected to the second electrode 223. Ends of the first electrode 221 and the second electrode 223 extending to the outer surface of the housing 1 are configured to connect to the power supply module. After the ends are connected to the power supply module, a loop is formed by the power supply module, the first electrode 221, the electrically conductive heat generation structure 222 and the second electrode 223. When current passes through the electrically conductive heat generation structure 222, heat is generated and temperature rises in the electrically conductive heat generation structure 222, thereby heating the atomization liquid. Meanwhile, when current flows through the power storage battery module 9 via the first electrode 221 and the second electrode 223, the power storage battery module 9 stores electrical energy.

The second sleeve portion is sleeved on the second electrode 223, one end of the second elastic piece is connected to the second sleeve portion, and another end of the second elastic piece is welded to the negative electrode of the power storage battery 91. The first sleeve portion 921 is connected to the first electrode 221 by sleeving, which improves firmness of the electrical connection between the first sleeve portion 921 and the first electrode 221, and the first elastic piece 922 is welded to the power storage battery 91, which improves the firmness of the electrical connection between the first elastic piece 922 and the power storage battery 91. Similarly, the second sleeve portion is connected to the second electrode 223 by sleeving, which improves firmness of the electrical connection between the second sleeve portion and the second electrode 223, and the second elastic piece is welded to the power storage battery 91, which improves the firmness of the electrical connection between the second elastic piece and the power storage battery 91. The first elastic piece 922 and the second elastic piece have an elastic buffering effect, so that the electrical connections are prevented from being disconnected due to shaking, thereby further ensuring the firmness of the electrical connections.
In this embodiment, the first elastic piece 922 is welded to the power storage battery 91 by laser or infrared means; and the second elastic piece is welded to the power storage battery 91 by laser or infrared means.
Further specifically, an outer sidewall of the first sleeve portion 921 is provided with multiple first through slots 9211 in communication with the inside of the first sleeve portion 921, one end of each of the first through slots 9211 extends to one end of the first sleeve portion 921, and the first elastic piece 922 is connected to another end of the first sleeve portion 921. An outer sidewall of the second sleeve portion is provided with multiple second through slots in communication with the inside of the second sleeve portion, one end of each of the second through slots extends to one end of the second sleeve portion, and the second elastic piece is connected to another end of the second sleeve portion. The first through slots 9211 are provided so that the sidewall of the first sleeve portion 921 can be elastically deformed in a certain degree, and in this way, the first sleeve portion 921 can clamp the first electrode 221 tightly. Similarly, the second through slots are provided so that the sidewall of the second sleeve portion can be elastically deformed in a certain degree, and in this way, the second sleeve portion can clamp the second electrode 223 tightly.
Specifically, the functional module 3 is disposed between the first electrode 221 and the second electrode 223, and the power storage battery 91 is disposed in an installation recess at one end of the functional module 3. With this arrangement, the electrical connection line between the functional module 3 and the power storage battery 91 is made short, and the distance between the first electrode 221 and the power storage battery 91 and the distance between the second electrode 223 and the power storage battery 91 are both made small, so that the lengths of the first connection terminal 92 and the second connection terminal 93 are both made small, which is advantageous for reducing the cost of the material. Furthermore, the structure is compact, the occupied space is small, and the increase of the volume of the atomization device due to the increase of the power storage battery module 9 is avoided.
