An electronic atomization device generally includes an atomizer and a power supply unit, and the power supply unit is configured to provide electric energy to the atomizer, so that the atomizer heats and atomizes an aerosol-forming medium, so as to generate an aerosol. Some electronic atomization devices are further equipped with a charging case to further charge the power supply unit, so that the power supply unit keeps sufficient electric quantity.
However, in an existing electronic atomization device, because the volume of the charging case is large, when the atomizer is placed on the charging case for charging, it is difficult for a user to hold both of them for use with one hand. Even if the user nearly holds both of them, if the grip force is uneven, the atomizer is easily detached from the charging case, which is not easy for the user to use, thereby affecting operation experience.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides an electronic atomization device, comprising: an atomization apparatus comprising an atomizer and a power supply body configured to supply power to the atomizer, the power supply body having an accommodating cavity for insertion of the atomizer; a charging apparatus configured to be connected to the power supply body so as to charge the power supply body, the charging apparatus comprising an apparatus body and a charging seat, the power supply body being separably supported on the charging seat; and a protective cover coated on the apparatus body and the power supply body.

An electronic atomization device generally includes an atomizer and a power supply unit, and the power supply unit is configured to provide electric energy to the atomizer, so that the atomizer heats and atomizes an aerosol-forming medium. Some electronic atomization devices are further equipped with a charging case to further charge the power supply unit, so that the power supply unit keeps sufficient electric quantity. However, the charging case with a large capacity results in a large volume. When the atomizer is placed on the charging case for charging, the width of the two are superimposed, which makes it difficult for the user to hold both of them at the same time for use. Even if the user nearly holds both of them, if the grip force is uneven, the atomizer is easily detached from the charging case, which is not easy for the user to use, thereby affecting operation experience. Based on this, to resolve the foregoing problem, an electronic atomization device is designed in this application, and both an apparatus body and a power supply body are coated by using a protective cover, so that the power supply body is stably connected to the charging apparatus. When the user inhales using the atomizer, the user can control both the atomization apparatus and the charging apparatus to move at the same time by holding the protective cover, so that the user can complete the operation with one hand, which is very convenient for use. In addition, the material and color of the protective cover can be easily personalized, which is more attractive to the user.
Referring to
It may be understood that when the power supply body 5 has sufficient electric quantity, the atomization apparatus 1 may be separately used. The atomizer 4 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 6 of the power supply body 5, and the power supply body 5 can supply power to the atomizer 4, so that the atomizer 4 heats and atomizes an aerosol-forming medium. When the power supply body 5 has insufficient electric quantity, the power supply body 5 is placed on the charging seat 202 for charging. In this case, if the user needs to continue to use the atomizer 4, the user needs to hold the charging apparatus 2 and the power supply body 5 at the same time, so that there is no delay in the user's use while charging.
The power supply body 5 is separably supported on the charging seat 202, and the power supply body 5 is electrically connected to the charging seat 202 by using an electrical connection terminal, such as a probe or an ejector pin. Therefore, the two are not in a fixed connection relationship, and the power supply body 5 can be conveniently placed on and removed from the charging seat 202. The power supply body 5 and the charging apparatus 2 are two independent parts. When the atomization apparatus 1 needs to be charged, the protective cover 3 binds the power supply body 5 and the charging apparatus 2 to form a whole, which is convenient for the user to hold and use.
At the same time, the protective cover 3 is coated on the apparatus body 201 and the power supply body 5. The protective cover 3 can stably cover the two. That is, the power supply body 5 is not easily detached from the charging seat 202 under the action of the protective cover 3. In addition, referring to
Therefore, when the user is using, the user only needs to hold the protective cover 3 to hold both the atomization apparatus 1 and the charging apparatus 2 stably, and the user can complete the operation with one hand, which is convenient for the user to use.
The material of the protective cover 3 may be but is not limited to a leather sleeve, cloth, a silicone sleeve, or the like. In addition, the protective cover 3 is also available in a variety of colors, and able to be personalized according to the user.
Herein, a specific connection structure between the protective cover 3, the apparatus body 201, and the power supply body 5 is not limited, provided that the protective cover 3 can be stably coated on the apparatus body 201 and the power supply body 5.
For example, the protective cover 3 may be connected to the outer side of the apparatus body 201 or the outer side of the power supply body 5 in a limiting connection, such as snap-fit, magnetic suction, or screw connection, so that the protective cover 3 is firmly connected to both. Alternatively,
In the electronic atomization device of this application, the protective cover 3 is coated on both the apparatus body 201 and the power supply body 5. That is, when the power supply body 5 is connected to the charging apparatus 2, the protective cover 3 can “bind” the power supply body 5 and the charging apparatus 2, so that the power supply body 5 is stably connected to the charging apparatus 2. When the user uses the atomizer 4, the user can control both the atomization apparatus 1 and the charging apparatus 2 to move at the same time by holding the protective cover 3, so that the user can complete the operation with one hand, which is very convenient for use. In addition, the material and color of the protective cover 3 can be easily personalized, which is more attractive to the user.
The protective cover 3 is coated on the outer side of the apparatus body 201 of the charging apparatus 2 and the outer side of the power supply body 5 of the atomization apparatus 1. The power supply body 5 is supported on the charging seat 202 of the charging apparatus 2. When the user takes up the entire electronic atomization device, the power supply body 5 does not detach from the charging seat 202 in the gravity direction under the support of the charging seat 202. Under the coating by the protective cover 3, the power supply body 5 does not laterally detach from the charging seat 202 from the apparatus body 201. When the user holds the protective cover 3, the electronic atomization device is safely and easily used.
Referring to
In some embodiments, the limiting part 7 includes a limiting groove 701 disposed on one of the apparatus body 201 or the protective cover 3, and the limiting part 8 includes a limiting block 801 disposed on the other of the apparatus body 201 or the protective cover 3. The limiting block 801 is embedded in the limiting groove 701, so that quick positioning can be implemented when the protective cover 3 is coated on the apparatus body 201, thereby facilitating the user to coat the apparatus body 201. Under the limiting action of the limiting block 801 and the limiting groove 701, the protective cover 3 can be connected to the apparatus body 201 stably, and the protective cover 3 is prevented from being offset.
The limiting part 7 and the limiting fitting part 8 are clamped, so that the protective cover 3 is detachably connected to the apparatus body 201, and the protective cover 3 is easily removed from the apparatus body 201 for cleaning or replacement.
Specifically, the limiting block 801 can be fit in the limiting groove 701 in an interference fit, so that the protective cover 3 is connected to the apparatus body 201 in a tight and solid manner.
In some embodiments, the limiting part 7 is connected to the limiting fitting part 8 by means of magnetic suction.
It may be understood that the limiting part 7 and the limiting fitting part 8 are magnetically connected to each other to realize the limiting connection between the protective cover 3 and the apparatus body 201, and the connection is fast and convenient.
For example, the limiting part 7 includes a magnet disposed outside the apparatus body 201 or inside the apparatus body 201, and the limiting fitting part 8 includes a magnet or metal correspondingly disposed outside the protective cover 3 or inside the protective cover 3. Alternatively, the limiting fitting part 8 includes a magnet correspondingly disposed outside the protective cover 3 or inside the protective cover 3, and the limiting part 7 includes a magnet or metal disposed outside the apparatus body 201 or inside the apparatus body 201.
That is, the limiting part 7 and the limiting fitting part 8 may not use other connection structures, and the limiting part 7 and the limiting fitting part 8 use a magnet to cooperate with a magnet or a magnet to cooperate with metal to realize the limit fit, and the structure is more streamlined.
In some embodiments, while the limiting part 7 and the limiting fitting part 8 adopt the clamping fit structure of the limiting groove 701 and the limiting block 801, the limiting block 801 is further configured to be capable of being connected to the apparatus body 201 by means of magnetic suction. That is, when the protective cover 3 is connected to the apparatus body 201 by using the clamping structure, the protective cover 3 can be stably coated outside the apparatus body 201 under the magnetic force.
Specifically, the limiting block 801 is disposed as a magnet, and a magnet or metal is embedded in the limiting groove 701. Alternatively, a magnet is embedded in the limiting groove 701, and the limiting block 801 is disposed as a magnet or metal.
Referring to
It may be understood that one second side surface 10 may be considered as the front surface of the apparatus body 201, and the other second side surface 10 is considered as the back surface of the apparatus body 201, that is, a limiting groove 701 is disposed on both the front surface and the back surface of the apparatus body 201. A limiting block 801 is disposed in a corresponding position of the protective cover 3, so that the protective cover 3 will be connected to the front surface and the back surface of the apparatus body 201 in a limited manner, respectively, so that the protective cover 3 is connected to the apparatus body 201 stably.
Specifically, each second side surface 10 is provided with two limiting grooves 701 with a longitudinal interval, so as to further improve connection stability between the protective cover 3 and the apparatus body 201.
Referring to
It may be understood that the charging seat 202 protrudes outward from the bottom end of the apparatus body 201, and the upper end surface of the charging seat 202 is used to support the power supply body 5. To provide support stability, the size of the upper end surface of the charging seat 202 is disposed greater than the size of the bottom end of the power supply body 5. Referring to
Referring to
To resolve this problem, a protrusion structure 11 that abuts against the end of the power supply body 5 away from the apparatus body 201 is disposed on the protective cover 3. When the protective cover 3 is coated on the charging seat 202 and the power supply body 5, the protrusion structure 11 of the protective cover 3 can abut against the end of the power supply body 5 away from the apparatus body 201 and offset the gap between the protective cover 3 and the power supply body 5, so that the protective cover 3 is more tightly coated, does not shake, has a simple and reliable structure, and is ingeniously designed.
Referring to
It may be understood that the power supply body 5 is placed on the charging seat 202 for charging, and the user inhales by using the atomizer 4. Therefore, the user tends to hold the end of the protective cover 3 near the charging seat 202.
A power supply component is disposed in the apparatus body of the charging apparatus 2, and therefore, the thickness is relatively large. However, the thickness of the end of the charging apparatus 2 near the power supply body is reduced, which is convenient for human hands to hold, is more ergonomic, makes the user's grip more comfortable and stable, and is also convenient for the user to take the power supply body 5.
Referring to
It may be understood that, when the power supply body 5 has sufficient electric quantity, the atomization apparatus 1 may be separately used, and therefore, there is a requirement for using the atomization apparatus 1 separately from the charging apparatus 2. However, if the entire protective cover 3 is removed from the apparatus body 201 and the power supply body 5, the atomization apparatus 1 is separated from the charging apparatus 2, operation is inconvenient, and steps are excessively cumbersome.
Therefore, a folded part 12 is disposed on the protective cover 3, and the folded part 12 can be folded in the direction away from the apparatus body 201, so that the power supply body 5 is exposed. When the atomization apparatus 1 needs to be separately removed, the entire protective cover 3 does not need to be removed, and the protective cover 3 can always be connected to the apparatus body 201. It is only necessary to separately control the folded part 12 to be folded, so that the power supply body 5 is exposed, and then the power supply body 5 can be separated from the charging apparatus 2, which is easier to operate.
In addition, when it is necessary to connect the power supply body 5 to the charging apparatus 2 again, it is sufficient to open the folded part 12 again.
Specifically, a magnet is embedded in the protective cover 3 at the magnetic suction part 1201, and the apparatus body 201 is correspondingly provided with a magnet or metal, which enables the folded part 12 to be magnetically connected to the apparatus body 201, and facilitates quick action to fold the folded part 12.
Referring to
It may be understood that the power supply body 5 does not have an electric quantity display function, and the user cannot learn the electric quantity of the power supply body 5.
It is usually the case that when the user finds that the atomization apparatus 1 does not produce enough aerosol when using it, it means that the power supply body 5 is low on electric quantity and needs to be charged. This causes the problem that the power supply body 5 is found to be insufficient on electric quantity when the user needs to inhale.
The display element 13 configured to display the electric quantity of the power supply body 5 is disposed on the apparatus body 201, so that the user can learn the electric quantity of the power supply body 5 in real time. When the power supply body 5 is in a fully charged state, the user may separate the atomization apparatus 1 from the charging apparatus 2, and independently use the atomization apparatus 1. After the atomization apparatus 1 is used for a period of time, the user may also connect the atomization apparatus 1 to the charging apparatus 2 to learn the electric quantity of the power supply body 5, which is more user-friendly.
In some embodiments, the display element 13 is a strip structure disposed longitudinally, and the upper part of the display element 13 is configured to display the electric quantity of the power supply body 5, and the lower part of the display element 13 can further display the electric quantity of the charging apparatus 2. It is convenient for the user to observe an electric quantity storage status of the charging apparatus 2, and determine whether charging needs to be performed on the charging apparatus 2. The bottom end of the charging apparatus 2 has a charging interface, which facilitates charging the charging apparatus 2 in a wired manner.
In order that the display element 13 is exposed outside the protective cover 3, for example, transparent processing may be performed at a corresponding position of the protective cover 3. The protective cover 3 covers the display element 13 and enables the display element 13 to be exposed. Alternatively, referring to
In some embodiments, referring to
In addition, in the middle of the display element 13, the magnitude of the internal voltage of the power supply body 5 can be correspondingly displayed, so that control and adjustment are more convenient for the user, and use is more intelligent.
Referring to
It may be understood that the power supply body 5 is placed on the charging seat 202, and the electrical connection terminal 15 is inserted into the electrical connection socket 16. Then, the charging apparatus 2 can charge the power supply body 5, and the connection is convenient and fast. The electrical connection terminal 15 may use but is not limited to a pin, a spring ejector pin, or the like.
Referring to
Specifically, after the power supply body 5 is connected to the charging apparatus 2, the charging seat 202 is configured to support the power supply body 5. The top surface of the power supply body 5 is flush with the top surface of the apparatus body 201. The side end of the power supply body 5 is embedded in the groove 17 of the apparatus body 201, and the apparatus body 201 can limit the power supply body 5, thereby effectively limiting offset and shaking of the power supply body 5. Therefore, the power supply body 5 is stably connected to the charging apparatus 2.
