Priority is claimed to Chinese Patent Application No. CN 202121606789.7, filed on Jul. 13, 2021, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
This application relates to the field of vaporization, and in particular, to a battery assembly and an electronic vaporization device.
An existing electronic vaporization device includes a vaporizer and a battery assembly. The vaporizer is configured to heat and vaporize a to-be-vaporized aerosol substrate, and the battery assembly supplies power to the vaporizer.
However, due to production defects and the uncertainty of application environments of the existing electronic vaporization device, the electronic vaporization device often encounters self-starting. The self-starting brings a huge safety risk to a user, such as dry burning and causing damage to the vaporizer. Existing solutions are mainly performed from production quality improvement, which may reduce the risk of self-starting as much as possible. However, the self-starting problem cannot be fundamentally resolved, and false starting may occur in some actual application scenarios. For example, when the electronic vaporization device is falsely started during charging, there is a potential safety risk if the user is not nearby.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a battery assembly, connected to a vaporization component and supplying power to the vaporization component, the battery assembly comprising: a shell; a battery core accommodated in the shell; a first interface provided on the shell, the first interface being configured for insertion of an external device such that the external device charges the battery core; and an action assembly accommodated in the shell, wherein, when the external device is inserted into the first interface, the action assembly is configured to shut off an electrical connection between the vaporization component and the battery assembly.

The battery assembly 200 supplies power to the vaporization component 100.
In an implementation, the vaporization component 100 is configured to store an aerosol generation substrate and vaporize the aerosol generation substrate to form aerosols that can be inhaled by a user. Specifically, the vaporization component 100 may be applied to different fields such as medical care, agricultural industry, and vaporizer. The battery assembly 200 includes a battery core 12 (referring to
Referring to
A shape of the battery core 12 is a cylinder or a rectangle, and a specific size and a specific shape of the battery core are not limited, which are designed in an engagement manner according to a power and a shape of the electronic vaporization device 300 and are not limited herein. Referring to
The first interface 13 may be a universal serial bus (USB) female connector or a USB male connector and is configured to be electrically connected to the external device 17. For example, when the first interface 13 is a USB female connector, the external device 17 is connected to the first interface 13 through a USB male connector or is converted into a USB male connector through a converter to be connected to the first interface. The first interface 13 includes a fixing base 130 (referring to
The action assembly 14 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 15 of the shell 11, and when the external device 17 is inserted into the first interface 13, the action assembly 14 shuts off an electrical connection between the vaporization component 100 and the battery assembly 200.
In an implementation, the action assembly 14 includes a mechanical movable member; and when the external device 17 is inserted into the first interface 13, the external device 17 pushes the mechanical movable member to move from a first position to a second position, and the mechanical movable member pushes the vaporization component 100 to move simultaneously, to shut off the electrical connection between the vaporization component 100 and the battery assembly 200. Specifically, when the mechanical movable member is at the first position, an end surface of an end of the mechanical movable member close to the vaporization component 100 is lower than or equal to an end surface of an end of the first electrode 18 of the battery assembly 200 close to the vaporization component 100, so that the first electrode 18 of the battery assembly 200 is in an electrical connection with a second electrode 19 of the vaporization component 100; and when the mechanical movable member is at the second position, the end surface of the end of the mechanical movable member close to the vaporization component 100 is higher than the end surface of the end of the first electrode 18 of the battery assembly 200 close to the vaporization component 100, so that the first electrode 18 of the battery assembly 200 and the second electrode 19 of the vaporization component 100 are disconnected.
Further, the battery assembly 200 further includes a holder 20, and the holder 20 is arranged in the shell 11.
The mechanical movable member is arranged on the holder 20 and is slidably connected to the holder 20. Specifically, the mechanical movable member includes a first push rod 141, a second push rod 142, and a connection rod 143; the first push rod 141 and the second push rod 142 are spaced; the first push rod 141 and the second push rod 142 are both slidably connected to the holder 20; end portions of the first push rod 141 and the second push rod 142 that are away from the first interface 13 abut against the vaporization component 100; and end portions of the first push rod 141 and the second push rod 142 that are close to the first interface 13 are connected through the connection rod 143. When the external device 17 is inserted into the first interface 13, the external device 17 pushes the connection rod 143 to cause the mechanical movable member to move from the first position to the second position. Referring to
Further, a clamping member 25 is further arranged on the holder 20 and is configured to be clamped and fixed to the shell 11. There may be a plurality of clamping members 25, the plurality of clamping members are spaced surrounding an edge of the holder 20 or arranged relative to two ends of the holder 20, which is not specifically limited, provided that the holder 20 is fixed to the shell 11. To prevent leaked liquid of a liquid aerosol generation substrate in the vaporization component 100 from permeating into the battery assembly 200 and affecting normal working of the battery assembly 200, a seal member 26 is further arranged on the end of the holder 20 close to the vaporization component 100, and a material of the seal member 26 may be silica gel or rubber.
A connection base 27 is arranged on an end portion of the holder 20 close to the vaporization component 100, a magnetic element 28 is arranged on the connection base 27, and the magnetic element 28 causes the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100 to be connected through a magnetic attraction force. In an implementation, there are two magnetic elements 28, and the two magnetic elements 28 may be respectively accommodated in the second through hole 21 and the third through hole 22.
In an implementation, after the external device 17 is inserted into the first interface 13, the magnetic attraction force between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100 is less than a sum of a friction force between the external device 17 and the first interface 13 and a friction force between the holder 20 and the mechanical movable member, so that the external device 17 is automatically maintained in the first interface 13. That is, the external device 17 is inserted into the first interface 13 under the action of an external force, and the external device 17 pushes the mechanical movable member to move from the first position to the second position; and after the external force is removed, the magnetic attraction force between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100 is not enough to push the external device 17 out of the first interface 13. In another implementation, when the external device 17 is pulled out from the first interface 13, the magnetic attraction force between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100 is greater than a friction force between the holder 20 and the mechanical movable member, so that the vaporization component 100 pushes the mechanical movable member to move from the second position to the first position, and the vaporization component 100 is in an electrical connection with the battery assembly 200. That is, after the external device 17 is pulled out from the first interface 13, the magnetic attraction force between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100 can cause the mechanical movable member to move from the second position to the first position. In another implementation, when the external device 17 is pulled out from the first interface 13, the friction force between the holder 20 and the mechanical movable member is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100, so that the mechanical movable member is maintained at the second position. That is, after the external device 17 is pulled out from the first interface 13, the magnetic attraction force between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100 is not enough to cause the mechanical movable member to move from the second position to the first position, and the user needs to manually implement the electrical connection between the battery assembly 200 and the vaporization component 100. Such an implementation may be applicable to a press manner or a button manner.
In other implementations, a connection structure configured to be clamped to the vaporization component 100 is arranged on an end of the battery assembly 200 close to the vaporization component 100. The action assembly 14 includes a mechanical movable member and an elastic member. The elastic member is arranged on an end portion of the battery assembly 200 close to the vaporization component 100, and after the vaporization component 100 is clamped to the battery assembly 200, the elastic member is compressed.
When the external device 17 is inserted into the first interface 13, the external device 17 pushes the mechanical movable member to move from the first position to the second position, to disconnect the battery assembly 200 from the vaporization component 100, and the elastic member changes from a compressed state to a normal state, to push the battery assembly 200 to shut off the electrical connection with the vaporization component 100. It may be understood that, the elastic member may alternatively be arranged on an end portion of the vaporization component 100 close to the battery assembly 200, and an effect that is the same as the foregoing can be achieved.
This application provides a battery assembly and an electronic vaporization device. The battery assembly includes a shell, a battery core, a first interface, and an action assembly, where the battery core, the first interface, and the action assembly are accommodated in the shell, and the first interface is configured to be electrically connected to an external device, to charge the battery core; and the action assembly is configured to shut off an electrical connection between the vaporization component and the battery assembly when the external device is connected to the first interface. Through the foregoing arrangement, the problem that the electronic vaporization device is automatically started during charging can be resolved, and occurrence of unsafe conditions can be prevented.
It may be understood that, the inventive idea of the action assembly in this application may also be applied to other electronic devices, provided that risks brought by self-starting that need to be prevented by the electronic device can be prevented by adopting the arrangement manner of the action assembly according to this application.
