The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an atomizer assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110, an atomizer 130, and a mouthpiece 150. Wherein the housing 110 has an interior cavity 111, the interior cavity 111 having an open first end 113. The atomizer 130 is partially inserted into the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110. The atomizer 130 has an air outlet end 131, and the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110.

The mouthpiece 150 is sleeved on the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130. The mouthpiece 150 is movable in a first direction M-M to switch between a first position and a second position. When the mouthpiece 150 is in the first position, the mouthpiece 150 is fully located within the internal cavity 111 of the housing 110, as shown in figures 1 and 3. When the mouthpiece 150 is in the second position, the mouthpiece 150 partially leaks out of the first end 113 of the inner cavity 111, as shown in figures 2 and 5.

In the atomizer assembly, when the mouthpiece 150 is located at the second position, the mouthpiece 150 is partially exposed from the first end 113 of the inner cavity 111, so that the user can easily suck the liquid. When the mouthpiece 150 is located at the first position, the mouthpiece 150 is completely located in the inner cavity 111 of the outer shell 110, so that the mouthpiece 150 is prevented from being exposed for a long time. On one hand, the cigarette holder 150 is prevented from being exposed for a long time, the risk that the cigarette holder 150 is polluted due to long-term exposure is avoided, the smoking hygiene is ensured, the frequency of replacing the cigarette holder 150 due to pollution is reduced, and the service life of the cigarette holder 150 is prolonged. On the other hand, the cigarette holder 150 is prevented from being exposed for a long time, and the cigarette holder 150 is also prevented from being easily collided by external force due to long-term exposure, so that the risk that the cigarette holder 150 is easily damaged is reduced, and the service life of the cigarette holder 150 is prolonged.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the mouthpiece 150 is located at the first position, the mouthpiece 150 is completely located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, so as to reduce the volume of the atomizer assembly, meet the miniaturization requirement of the atomizer assembly, and facilitate the storage and carrying of the atomizer assembly. In addition, when the cigarette holder 150 is located at the first position, the cigarette holder 150 is completely located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, which can prevent the cigarette holder 150 from being polluted by the external environment and can also prevent the cigarette holder 150 from being damaged by external force collision, thereby reducing the placing condition of the atomizer assembly and facilitating the storage and carrying of the atomizer assembly.

In addition, it can be understood that the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, so that even if the mouthpiece 150 is located at the first position, the atomizer 130 can be prevented from being exposed, thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the atomizer 130 and preventing the atomizer 130 from being damaged due to collision of an external force.

It should be noted that in other possible embodiments, the mouthpiece may also be completely exposed from the first end of the lumen when the mouthpiece is in the second position. Likewise, in other possible embodiments, the atomizer may be completely inserted into the inner cavity of the housing.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the housing 110 may rotate relative to the atomizer 130 to drive the mouthpiece 150 to move from the first position to the second position. Therefore, other elements do not need to be additionally arranged to drive the cigarette holder 150 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the structure of the atomizer assembly is simpler, and the requirement of the atomizer assembly for miniaturization is met. In addition, no other elements need to be disposed outside the housing 110 to drive the mouthpiece 150 from the first position to the second position, thereby making the atomizer assembly simpler in appearance and also facilitating storage and carrying of the atomizer assembly.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the first direction M-M is an extending direction of the mouthpiece 150, also an extending direction of the atomizer 130, and also an extending direction of the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110. It will of course be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first direction is not limited thereto and may also be biased to enable the mouthpiece to be switched between the first and second positions.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in the present embodiment, a guide groove 115 is formed on an inner wall of the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110. A guide block 151 matched with the guide groove 115 is fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the cigarette holder 150. The housing 110 rotates relative to the atomizer 130, and the guide slot 115 drives the guide block 151 to move along the first direction M-M, so as to move the mouthpiece 150 from the first position to the second position, so that the mouthpiece 150 partially leaks out of the first end 113 of the inner cavity 111, and the user can conveniently suck the mouthpiece.

Further, in the present embodiment, a limiting member 170 is fixedly disposed on an outer surface of the atomizer 130. The retaining member 170 is located between the mouthpiece 150 and the housing 110. The limiting member 170 is provided with a limiting groove 171 extending along the first direction M-M and matching with the guide block 151, and the guide block 151 is inserted into the limiting groove 171 to limit the rotation of the guide block 151, thereby ensuring that the guide block 151 can move along the first direction M-M. The rotation of the mouthpiece 150 may be limited, thereby ensuring that the mouthpiece 150 is able to move in the first direction M-M.

In addition, the guide block 151 is limited to rotate by the limiting groove 171, so that the rotating force of the side wall of the limiting groove 171 acting on the guide block 151 can at least partially offset the torque of the shell 110 acting on the guide block 151, and further the vector sum of the torques borne by the guide block 151 is reduced, so that the torque of the guide block 151 acting on the cigarette holder 150 is reduced, further the cigarette holder 150 is prevented from being damaged due to overlarge torque, the stability of connection between the cigarette holder 150 and the guide block 151 can be ensured, and the service life of the cigarette holder 150 is prolonged.

It will be appreciated that the guide block 151 is fixedly connected to the mouthpiece 150, so that the guide block 151 is interlocked with the mouthpiece 150. Thus, in a further possible embodiment, the movement of the mouthpiece in the first direction may also be achieved directly by restricting the rotation of the mouthpiece. For example, the atomizer is provided with a stopper for preventing the mouthpiece from rotating.

In this embodiment, the guide block 151 is integrally formed with the mouthpiece 150. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the guide block and the mouthpiece may be provided separately, and the guide block and the mouthpiece are fixedly connected by welding or screwing.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide slot 115 includes a first segment 1151 and a second segment 1153 that are joined. Along the first direction M-M, the second segment 1153 is located at an end of the first segment 1151 that is proximate to the gas outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130. The side wall of the limiting groove 171 is provided with a middle position clip 172. When the mouthpiece 150 is located at the first position, the housing 110 is rotated in a first rotation direction perpendicular to the first direction M-M, and the first segment 1151 of the guide groove 115 drives the guide block 151 to move until the guide block 151 is snapped into the middle detent 172, so that the mouthpiece 150 is located at the middle position. It can be understood that the process of the outer shell 110 moving the mouthpiece 150 from the first position to the intermediate position is as follows: the housing 110 is first rotated in a first rotation direction to drive the guide block 151 to move in the first direction M-M until the guide block 151 moves to a position flush with the middle detent 172; the housing 110 continues to rotate in the first rotation direction to drive the guide block 151 to rotate in the first rotation direction to be engaged with the middle detent 172, so that the mouthpiece 150 is located at the middle position, as shown in fig. 4.

It will be appreciated that the intermediate detents 172 are located on the side walls of the retaining groove 171 such that after the first segment 1151 of the guide groove 115 drives the guide block 151 to move into engagement with the intermediate detents 172, the guide block 151 cannot continue to move in the first direction M-M, such that the guide block 151 can restrict the housing 110 from continuing to rotate in the first rotational direction, thereby allowing the user to perceive that the mouthpiece 150 is in the intermediate position.

When the mouthpiece 150 is located at the intermediate position, the housing 110 rotates in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, and the second segment 1153 of the guide groove 115 drives the guide block 151 to disengage from the intermediate detent 172, and continues to move in the first direction M-M until the mouthpiece 150 moves to the second position. It can be understood that the process of the outer shell 110 moving the mouthpiece 150 from the intermediate position to the second position is as follows: the housing 110 is first rotated in the second rotation direction to drive the guide block 151 to rotate in the second rotation direction to disengage from the middle detent 172; the housing 110 continues to rotate in the second rotational direction to drive the guide block 151 to continue to move in the first direction M-M to drive the mouthpiece 150 to move in the first direction M-M to the second position, as shown in fig. 5.

The mouthpiece 150 is moved from the first position to the second position in steps by two rotations of the housing 110 in opposite directions, thereby reducing the magnitude of the rotation of the housing 110 for single-handed operation by the user.

Further, in this embodiment, the angle of rotation of the housing 110 during the process of driving the mouthpiece 150 to move from the first position to the intermediate position is equal to the angle of rotation of the housing 110 during the process of driving the mouthpiece 150 to move from the intermediate position to the second position. In other words, when the mouthpiece 150 is set to be in the first position, the position of the outer shell 110 is set to be the original position. The housing 110 is rotated twice in opposite directions to move the mouthpiece 150 from the first position to the second position in steps and then returns to the original position. On one hand, the appearance effect of the atomizer assembly is prevented from being changed by the rotation of the housing 110; on the other hand, the angle of the two rotations of the housing 110 is the same, which conforms to the common operation habit of the user and is convenient for operation.

Optionally, a torsion spring or the like is provided between the housing 110 and the atomizer 130 so that the housing 110 can be held in the original position without a user exerting a torque on the housing 110.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, a side of the inner wall of the first section 1151 of the guide groove 115, which is used to drive the guide block 151 to move, is a first driving side 1152. In the direction of movement of the mouthpiece 150 from the first position to the second position, the first drive side 1152 is at a higher level than the intermediate detent 172, relative to the bottom end of the housing 110, such that the first drive side 1152 can drive the guide block 151 into the intermediate detent 172. The side of the inner wall of the second section 1153 of the guide groove 115 on which the guide block 151 is driven to move is a second driving side 1154. In the direction of movement of the mouthpiece 150 from the first position to the second position, the second drive side 1154 is lower than the middle detent 172, relative to the bottom end of the housing 110, such that the second drive side 1154 drives the guide block 151 out of the middle detent 172 and drives the height of the raised guide block 151, thereby moving the mouthpiece 150 to the second position.

Further, in this embodiment, a side wall of the second segment 1153 at an end far from the first segment 1151 is provided with a terminal detent 1155 matched with the guide block 151. When the mouthpiece 150 is located at the intermediate position, the housing 110 is rotated in the second rotation direction, and the second segment 1153 of the guide groove 115 drives the guide block 151 to disengage from the intermediate detent 172, and moves further until the guide block 151 snaps into the terminal detent 1155, so that the mouthpiece 150 is kept at the second position.

It will be appreciated that the terminal detents 1155 are disposed on the sidewalls of the second segment 1153 of the guide channel 115 such that the second segment 1153 of the guide channel 115 drives the guide block 151 to move into the detent terminal detents 1155 such that the guide block 151 cannot continue to move in the first direction M-M, such that the guide block 151 can restrict the housing 110 from continuing to rotate in the second rotational direction, thereby allowing the user to sense that the mouthpiece 150 has rotated to the second position and thus stop continuing to rotate the housing 110.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the manner of holding the mouthpiece in the second position is not limited thereto, and the terminal detent may be provided on the retaining member.

In this embodiment, the atomizer assembly further includes a reset element 190. When the mouthpiece 150 is located at the second position, the housing 110 can rotate in the first rotation direction, and the second end of the guiding groove 115 drives the guiding block 151 to be disengaged from the terminal detent 1155, so that the mouthpiece 150 can move and be kept at the first position under the action of the resetting member 190.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the reset element 190 is an elastic element. The first end 113 of the inner cavity 111 has a first abutting surface 1111 perpendicular to the first direction M-M, and the outer side wall of the mouthpiece 150 has a second abutting surface 153 perpendicular to the first direction M-M. One end of the elastic member abuts against the first abutting surface 1111, and the other end abuts against the mouthpiece 150, so as to provide an elastic force to the mouthpiece 150, and the mouthpiece 150 is moved from the second position to the first position along the first direction M-M.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, neither the first abutment surface nor the second abutment surface is limited to being perpendicular to the first direction, and the mouthpiece may be driven to move from the second position to the first position.

Further, in another possible embodiment, the structure and the position of the resetting piece are not limited to this, and the mouthpiece can be driven to move from the second position to the first position.

In this embodiment, the atomizer 130 is provided with a first position-limiting portion 173, and the housing 110 is provided with a second position-limiting portion 112 matching with the first position-limiting portion 173. The first position-limiting portion 173 cooperates with the second position-limiting portion 112 to limit the movement of the housing 110 relative to the atomizer 130 along the first direction M-M. More specifically, the atomizer 130 is provided with a limiting member 170, and the first limiting portion 173 is disposed on the limiting member 170.

Further, the first position-limiting portion 173 is an annular groove, and the second position-limiting portion 112 is an annular protrusion. Of course, it is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the structures of the first position-limiting portion and the second position-limiting portion are not limited thereto, and the movement of the atomizer and the housing along the first direction may be limited. In addition, in another possible embodiment, the first position-limiting portion is not limited to be disposed on the position-limiting member, and may also be disposed at another position of the atomizer, so as to limit the movement of the atomizer and the housing along the first direction.

In this embodiment, the atomizer 130 is detachably connected to the mouthpiece 150, so that when one of the atomizer 130 and the mouthpiece 150 is damaged or contaminated, only the damaged or contaminated user can replace the other, and the service life of the other is increased, thereby reducing the service life of the atomizer assembly and reducing the cost.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the housing 110 is connected to the atomizer 130 through the limiting member 170, and the limiting member 170 is fixedly connected to the atomizer 130 through the magnetic member 01 fixed to the atomizer 130. The housing 110 may be forced to overcome the magnetic force of the magnetic member 01, so as to detach the housing 110 from the atomizer 130, and the retaining member 170 and the mouthpiece 150 may be detached from the atomizer 130. On the contrary, the mouthpiece 150 assembled with the limiting member 170 and the housing 110 is sleeved on the atomizer 130, and is fixedly connected with the atomizer 130 through the limiting member 170, so as to assemble the mouthpiece 150 and the atomizer 130. Of course, it will be appreciated that the manner of detachable connection of the mouthpiece 150 to the atomizer 130 is not so limited in further possible embodiments.

Alternatively, in further possible embodiments, the structure to effect switching of the mouthpiece between the first position and the second position is not limited thereto. For example, in one possible embodiment, the housing is movable relative to the atomizer to actuate the mouthpiece to move from the first position and remain in the second position. In particular, the housing is movable relative to the atomizer to drive the mouthpiece to move from the first position and remain in the second position. Alternatively, a reciprocating transmission mechanism such as a rack and pinion mechanism can be arranged in front of the shell and the cigarette holder so as to drive the cigarette holder to move from the first position and keep at the second position through the movement or rotation of the shell.

For example, in another possible embodiment, the housing is movable relative to the atomizer to move and hold the mouthpiece from the first position to the second position, and to move and hold the mouthpiece from the second position to the first position. I.e. the switching of the mouthpiece between the first and second positions is driven by the housing.

As another example, in another possible embodiment, the manner for driving the mouthpiece to switch between the first position and the second position is not limited thereto, and a driving component may be additionally provided to realize the switching of the mouthpiece between the first position and the second position.
