According to the heating device 100 for an electronic cigarette 1000 of the technical solution of the invention, the control board 50 is provided with an avoidance hole 51 and at least two inserting holes 52 in which the heat generating unit 30 is inserted. The heat generating unit 30 is partially inserted into the avoidance hole 51 when being mounted, so that the heat generating unit 30 is limited to the control board 50. At least two conductive pins 32 correspondingly provided by the heat generating unit 30 are inserted into at least two inserting holes 52 provided by the control board 50, so that the heat generating unit 30 and the control board 50 establish an electrical connection to form an assembly. Finally, the assembly is mounted on the substrate 10 so as to complete mounting. It is unnecessary to perform wire welding in the small space after assembling the heat generating unit 30 in the electronic cigarette 1000, which is convenient to mount. At the same time, only the conductive pin 32 of the heat generating unit 30 needs to be pulled out from the insertion groove when being replaced, and the operation is convenient. When the heat generating unit 30 is damaged or more dirt is left on the surface of the heat generating unit 30 in the later period, the user can replace the heat generating unit with a spare heat generating unit 30 by himself, and the entire heating device 100 does not need to be replaced, effectively saving the use cost.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the heat generating unit 30 is a ceramic heat generating rod, and the outer wall of one end of the ceramic heat generating rod is provided with two conductive pins 32 as an example. The inserting hole 52 is communicated with the avoidance groove, so that when the ceramic heat generating rod is inserted into the avoidance groove, the conductive pin 32 is inserted into the inserting hole 52, and the conductive pin 32 abuts against the inserting hole 52 at the same time, preventing the phenomenon that the ceramic heat generating rod rotates during use to cause damage such as bend to the conductive pin 32.
It is to be understood that, in practical applications, the heat generating unit 30 is not limited to the manner in which two conductive pins 32 are provided to establish electrical connection with the control board 50. For example, as shown in

Here, in the present embodiment, the shape of the avoidance hole 51 is rectangular. One end of the conductive body is provided with an inserting part 31. The side structure of the inserting part 31 is matched with the rectangular avoidance hole 51, so that when one end of the conductive body is inserted into the rectangular avoidance hole 51, the end of the conductive body abuts against the inner wall of the avoidance hole 51 for limiting, effectively preventing the phenomenon that the heat generating body 30 rotates to cause damage such as bend to the conductive plug.
It is to be understood that, in practical applications, the avoidance hole 51 is not limited to the manner in which a rectangle is used as described above. For example, in other embodiments of the invention, the manner in which a triangle or any other shape having edges is used to prevent rotation between the heat generating unit 30 and the circuit board 71 also falls within the scope of protection of the invention.
Further, as shown in
It is to be understood that, in practical applications, the conductive member 55 can be applied to the inner groove wall of the inserting hole 52 using a conductive coating. At the same time, the manner in which in order to ensure the conductive stability, it is not limited to soldering on the back surface of the control board 50 as described above, for example, a conductive pin may also be provided, the conductive pin is inserted into the inserting hole 52, and the conductive pin 32 is pressed to abut against the conductive member 55 to ensure electrical connection also falls within the scope of protection of the invention.
Further, as shown in
It is to be understood that, in practical applications, it is not limited to using the annular negative electrode contact 73 as described above to prevent the reverse connection of the circuit. For example, in another embodiment of the invention, the manner in which if the heating device 100 and the electronic cigarette 1000 are connected in a snap-fit manner, the conductive terminal 70 comprises a positive electrode contact 72 and two negative electrode contacts 73 which are spaced apart symmetrically with respect to the positive electrode contact 72 to effectively prevent the user from reversely connecting the electrode contact of the heating device 100 and the output electrode of the electronic cigarette 1000 also falls within the scope of protection of the invention.
