Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are structural schematic diagrams of an embodiment of a battery assembly according to the present invention. Specifically, the battery assembly includes a circuit board 11, a clamping component 12, and a conductive component 13. Specifically, the clamping component 12 is disposed on the circuit board, the clamping component 12 is located on one side of the circuit board, and the conductive component 13 is inserted into the clamping component 12 to be electrically connected to the circuit board 11 through the clamping component 12. The conductive component 13 may be a metal needle or other components that can be inserted into the clamping component 12, which is not limited in this application.

Specifically, the battery assembly is also provided with a bracket 14 that includes a first accommodating groove 141 and a second accommodating groove 142. The circuit board 11 is accommodated in the first accommodating groove 141, and the clamping component 12 is located on a side of the circuit board 11 away from a bottom 143 of the first accommodating groove 141, as shown in FIG. 2 in detail. A battery core 15 is located in the second accommodating groove 142. In a specific embodiment, the first accommodating groove 141 and the second accommodating groove 142 are spaced apart with a common sidewall 144 therebetween. Specifically, a sidewall of the first accommodating groove 141 away from the second accommodating groove 142 has a through hole 18 corresponding to a position of the clamping component 12, and the conductive component 13 is inserted into the clamping component 12 via the through hole 18. That is, the sidewall of the first accommodating groove 141 away from the second accommodating groove 142 forms a connection portion, and the connection portion can alternatively be provided with a connector such as a magnetic suction piece in addition to the conductive component 13.

In an embodiment, a side of the clamping component 12 close to the circuit board 11 has a viscous substance. The viscous substance may be a conductive adhesive. The clamping component 12 is bonded to the circuit board 11 for electrical connection with the circuit board 11. In another embodiment, the clamping component 12 can alternatively be electrically connected to the circuit board 11 by other bonding components. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the battery assembly further includes a bonding component 16. The bonding component 16 is located between the clamping component 12 and the circuit board 11, and configured to electrically connect the clamping component 12 to the circuit board 11. In an embodiment, the bonding component 16 is a viscous conductive material, such as conductive glue or the like. The bonding component 16 is located between the circuit board 11 and the clamping component 12 to fix the clamping component 12 on the circuit board 11. Further, the material of the clamping component 12 is a conductive material, for example, a metal such as copper or silver, or an alloy. After the conductive component 13 is inserted into the clamping component 12, the conductive component 13 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 by the clamping component 12 and the bonding component 16.

In an embodiment, the bonding component 16 can alternatively be located around the clamping component 12 to bond the clamping component 12 onto the circuit board 11. Alternatively, in another embodiment, a concave groove configured to accommodate the clamping component 12 can alternatively be disposed on the circuit board 11. The clamping component 12 is fixed in the concave groove, thereby being electrically connected to the circuit board 11, or the clamping component 12 is fixed in the concave groove through the bonding component 16, such as a conductive adhesive, thereby being electrically connected to the circuit board 11.

In a specific embodiment, the conductive component 13 is a Pogo pin connector. The pogo pin is a spring pin formed by riveting and prepressing three basic components: a pin shaft, a spring, and a pin tube, through a precision instrument, and there is a precision spring structure in the pogo pin. The surface plating of the pogo pin is generally gold plated, which can better improve the corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, electrical properties, and the like. The needle tip may be a pointed needle, a gripping needle, a round needle, a knife-shaped needle, or the like. Pogo pins are commonly applied for precision connection in electronic products in the field of cell phones, communication, automobiles, medical treatment, aerospace, and the like, which can improve the corrosion resistance, stability, and durability of these connectors. Because the pogo pin is a very fine pin, the application of the pogo pin in precision connectors can reduce the weight of the connector as well as the volume of the appearance, which enables the connector to be more refined and aesthetic.

In an embodiment, the number of the clamping components 12 is two, the number of the conductive components 13 is two, and one conductive component 13 is inserted into one clamping component 12. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the clamping component 12 includes a first clamping component 121 and a second clamping component 122, and the conductive component 13 includes a first conductive component 131 and a second conductive component 132. The first conductive component 131 is inserted into the first clamping component 121, and the first conductive component 131 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 through the first clamping component 121 and the corresponding bonding component 16. The second conductive component 132 is inserted into the second clamping component 122, and the second conductive component 132 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 through the second clamping component 122 and the corresponding bonding component 16.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the clamping component 12 includes a main body 124, a first clamping piece 126, and a second clamping piece 127. The main body 124 is provided with an accommodating cavity 125, and the accommodating cavity 125 has an insertion port 123 for insertion of the conductive component 13. The first clamping piece 126 and the second clamping piece 127 are located inside the accommodating cavity 125, and are exposed through the insertion port 123. a first end of the first clamping piece 126 and a first end of the second clamping piece 127 are disposed close to the insertion port 123 and respectively connected to opposite two sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 125; and a second end of the first clamping piece 126 and a second end of the second clamping piece 127 are disposed away from the insertion port 123 and extend toward the interior of the accommodating cavity 125, so as to form a clamp configured to clamp the conductive component 13.

Specifically, a middle part of the first clamping piece 126 is disposed inclined relative to a sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125, and a second end of the first clamping piece 126 is bent relative to the middle part of the first clamping piece 126 and is parallel to the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125; and a middle part of the second clamping piece 127 is disposed inclined relative to the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125, and the second end of the second clamping piece 127 is bent relative to the middle part of the second clamping piece 127 and is parallel to the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125.

Specifically, at a position of the clamp formed by the second end of the first clamping piece 126 and the second end of the second clamping piece 127, a distance between the second end of the first clamping piece 126 and the second end of the second clamping piece 127 is less than or equal to an outer diameter of the conductive component 13, so that the clamp is able to clamp the conductive component 13 when the conductive component 13 is inserted into the clamping component 12.

In another embodiment, a spring can alternatively be disposed between the second end of the first clamping piece 126 and the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125, and between the second end of the second clamping piece 127 and the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125. When the conductive component 13 is inserted into the clamping component 12, the second end of the first clamping piece 126 and the second end of the second clamping piece 127 are squeezed to move toward the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 125 to compress the spring, and the compressed spring reversely squeezes the second end of the first clamping piece 126 and the second end of the second clamping piece 127, thereby clamping the conductive component 13 and preventing the conductive component 13 from falling off.

In an embodiment, the first clamping piece 126, the second clamping piece 127, and the main body 124 are integrally formed, and the main body 124 is a hollow tubular body. In another embodiment, in order to reduce the weight of the clamping component 12, opposite two sidewalls of the first clamping piece 126 and the second clamping piece 127 of the clamping component 12 can be constructed as a hollowed-out structure, so that the bonding component 16 can better bond the clamping component 12 onto the circuit board 11. Further, another sidewall to which the opposite two sidewalls of the first clamping piece 126 and the second clamping piece 127 are connected has a notch or a slit, and the notch or the slit extends along an axial direction of the hollow tubular body, so that the sidewall of the hollow tubular body is shaped to be non-closed annular, which also facilitates the preparation of the clamping component 12. Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, the clamping component 12 can be made of a rectangular piece of conductive metal. For example, a rectangular piece of conductive metal is cut to form two metal strips configured to form the first clamping piece 126 and the second clamping piece 127, the rectangular piece of conductive metal is bent to form a shape as shown in FIG. 4, and then the two metal strips are respectively bent toward the interior of the accommodating cavity 125, thereby forming the first clamping piece 126 and the second clamping piece 127.

Through the battery assembly of the present invention, it is not necessary to connect the conductive component 13 to the circuit board 11 via a wire, but rather to connect the conductive component 13 to the circuit board 11 via the clamping component 12, so that the cost can be reduced and it is simple to assemble and convenient to produce.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of an electronic vaporization device according to the present invention. Specifically, the electronic vaporization device 100 includes a vaporizer 200 and a battery assembly 300. The battery assembly 300 is configured to supply power to the vaporizer 200, and the battery assembly 300 includes the battery assembly 300 shown in any of the foregoing embodiments in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3.

In the electronic vaporization device 100 of the present invention, it is not necessary to connect the conductive component 13 to the circuit board 11 via a wire, but rather to connect the conductive component 13 to the circuit board 11 via the clamping component 12, so that the cost can be reduced and it is simple to assemble and convenient to produce.
