As shown in fig. 1 to 8, an embodiment of the present invention provides an atomizer assembly, which includes a housing 110 and an atomizer 130. Wherein the housing 110 has an inner cavity 111. The cavity 111 has an open first end 113. The atomizer 130 is disposed in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110. The nebulizer 130 is movable in a first direction M-M to switch between a first position and a second position. Atomizer 130 has an outlet end 131. When the atomizer 130 is located at the first position, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, see fig. 1. When the atomizer 130 is located at the second position, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 leaks from the first end 113 of the inner cavity 111, see fig. 2. The housing 110 is rotatable relative to the nebulizer 130 to drive the nebulizer 130 between the first position and the second position.

In the atomizer assembly, when the atomizer 130 is located at the second position, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is partially exposed from the first end 113 of the inner cavity 111, so that the user can conveniently suck the food. When the atomizer 130 is located at the first position, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, so that the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 can be prevented from being exposed for a long time by moving the atomizer 130 to the first position. On one hand, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is prevented from being exposed for a long time, so that the risk that the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is polluted due to long-term exposure is avoided, the smoking hygiene is ensured, the frequency of replacement of the atomizer 130 due to the pollution of the air outlet end 131 is reduced, and the service life of the atomizer 130 is prolonged. On the other hand, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is prevented from being exposed for a long time, and the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is also prevented from being easily collided by external force due to long-term exposure, so that the risk that the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is easily damaged is reduced, and the service life of the atomizer 130 is prolonged.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the atomizer 130 is located at the first position, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing, 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 atomizer 130 is located at the first position, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing, so that the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 can be prevented from being polluted by the external environment, and the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 can be prevented 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.

It will be appreciated that a user inhales the smoke generated by the atomizer 130 through the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130. Therefore, for the convenience of sucking, the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 is provided with a sucking part. When the atomizer 130 is located at the second position, the sucking part of the atomizer 130 may be completely exposed from the first end 113 of the inner cavity 111, or partially exposed from the second end 113 of the inner cavity 111, so as to meet the sucking requirement of the user.

In this embodiment, the end of the inner cavity 111 of the housing opposite the first end 113 also has an opening. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the end of the internal cavity of the housing opposite the first end may also be provided without an opening.

In this embodiment, the end of the atomizer 130 opposite to the gas outlet end 131 is also located in the inner cavity 111 of the housing. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the end of the atomiser opposite the outlet end may also leak out of the end of the cavity opposite the first end. Of course, at this time, an end of the inner cavity of the housing opposite to the first end is also required to be provided with an opening, so that an end of the atomizer opposite to the air outlet end can be leaked from the inner cavity of the housing.

In the present embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the first direction M-M is an extending direction of the atomizer 130, and is also an extending direction of the inner cavity 111 of the housing. Of course, it will be understood that in other possible embodiments, the first direction is not limited thereto, but may also be skewed with respect to the extension direction of the atomizer 130, so that the mouthpiece can be switched between the first position and the second position.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3 to 8, in the present embodiment, a first guide groove 1111 and a second guide groove 1113 are provided on an inner side wall of the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110 to communicate with each other. The second guide groove 1113 is located at one end of the first guide groove 1111 near the gas outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 in the first direction M-M. The first guide groove 1111 and the second guide groove 1113 are arranged to be offset in the circumferential direction of the atomizer 130. A first guide block 133 matching with the first guide groove 1111 and a second guide block 135 matching with the second guide groove 1113 are fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the atomizer 130. It is understood that the second guide block 135 is located at an end of the first guide block 133 adjacent to the gas outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130 in the first direction M-M. The first guide blocks 133 and the second guide blocks 135 are arranged to be staggered in the circumferential direction of the atomizer 130. In addition, a first pushing part 1115 and a second pushing part 1117 are arranged on the inner side wall of the inner cavity 111 of the shell 110.

The atomizer assembly further comprises a resilient member 150 and a retaining member 170 disposed between the housing 110 and the atomizer 130. The elastic member 150 has a second end 151 and a third end 153 opposite to each other. The housing 110 is rotatably connected to the limiting member 170, and the atomizer 130 is movably connected to the limiting member 170. A first limiting portion 171 and a second limiting portion 173 are convexly disposed on an outer side wall of the limiting member 170 close to the housing 110. Along the first direction M-M, the first position-limiting portion 171 is located at one end of the first guide groove 1111 close to the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130, and is spaced apart from the first guide groove 1111. Along the first direction M-M, the second position-limiting portion 173 is located at an end of the second guide groove 1113 away from the air outlet end 131 of the atomizer 130, and is spaced apart from the second guide groove 1113.

Referring to fig. 3, when the atomizer 130 is located at the first position, the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the first guide block 133, the third end 153 abuts against the first limiting portion 171, the housing 110 can rotate in a first rotation direction perpendicular to the first direction M-M relative to the atomizer 130, the first guide groove 1111 drives the first guide block 133 to move in the first direction M-M until the atomizer 130 is located at the middle position of rising, and the first guide block 133 compresses the elastic member 150 to a compressed state in the first direction M-M, see fig. 4. When the first guide block 133 compresses the elastic member 150 along the first direction M-M to a compressed state, the housing 110 rotates along the first rotation direction, the first pushing part 1115 pushes the elastic member 150 to rotate along the first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the second limiting part 173 and the third end 153 abuts against the second guide block 135, as shown in fig. 5.

It can be understood that a first avoiding groove 1112 matched with the first guide block 133 is disposed on a side wall of one end of the first guide groove 1111 near the first limiting portion 171, so that when the first guide block 133 compresses the elastic member 150 along the first direction M-M to a compressed state, the elastic member 150 can be pushed to rotate by the first pushing portion 1115, and the first guide block 133 remains stationary, so that the elastic member 150 can be pushed to rotate more stably to a position where the second end 151 abuts against the second limiting portion 173 and the third end 153 abuts against the second guide block 135.

It can be understood that when the housing 110 rotates in the first rotation direction until the first guide block 133 is inserted into the first avoidance groove 1112 and abuts against the sidewall of the second avoidance groove 1114, which is not perpendicular to the first direction M-M, the housing 110 can not rotate in the first rotation direction any more, so that, on one hand, the resilient member 150 is prevented from being out of abutment with the second guide block 135 due to the housing 110 rotating in the first rotation direction; on the other hand, the operator can be enabled to sense the end position of the rotation of the housing 110 in the first direction M-M more accurately.

It is understood that the first position-limiting portion 171 is opposite to the first guiding groove 1111 along the first direction M-M, such that when the atomizer 130 is located at the first position, the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the first guiding block 133, and the third end 153 abuts against the first position-limiting portion 171. The second position-limiting portion 173 and the second guiding groove 1113 are disposed opposite to each other along the second direction, so that the first pushing portion 1115 can push the elastic member 150 until the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the second position-limiting portion 173 and the third end 153 abuts against the second guiding block 135.

When the elastic member 150 is in a compressed state, the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the second limiting portion 173, and the third end 153 abuts against the second guide block 135, the housing 110 can rotate in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the second guide block 135 is located in the second guide groove 1113, so that the second guide block 135 moves in the first direction M-M under the action of the elastic member 150 until the atomizer 130 is located at the second position, see fig. 6.

When the atomizer 130 is located at the second position, the housing 110 can rotate in the second rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130, the second guide groove 1113 drives the second guide block 135 to move along the first direction M-M to a position where the atomizer 130 is located at the fall-back middle position, and the second guide block 135 compresses the elastic member 150 along the first direction M-M to a compressed state, see fig. 7. When the second guide block 135 compresses the elastic member 150 along the first direction M-M to a compressed state, the housing 110 rotates along the second rotation direction, the second pushing portion 1117 pushes the elastic member 150 to rotate along the second rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the first guide block 133 and the third end 153 abuts against the first limiting portion 171, as shown in fig. 8.

It can be understood that a second avoiding groove 1114 matched with the second guide block 135 is disposed on a side wall of one end of the second guide groove 1113 close to the first limiting portion 171, so that when the second guide block 135 compresses the elastic member 150 along the first direction M-M to a compressed state, the elastic member 150 can be pushed to rotate by the second pushing portion 1117, and the second guide block 135 remains stationary, thereby pushing the elastic member 150 to rotate more stably to a position where the second end 151 abuts against the first guide block 133 and the third end 153 abuts against the first limiting portion 171.

It can be understood that when the housing 110 rotates in the second rotation direction until the second guide block 135 is inserted into the second avoiding groove 1114 and abuts against the sidewall of the second avoiding groove 1114, which is not perpendicular to the first direction M-M, the housing 110 can not rotate in the second rotation direction any more, thereby, on one hand, preventing the resilient member 150 from coming out of abutment with the first guide block 133 due to the housing 110 rotating in the second rotation direction; on the other hand, the operator can be enabled to sense the end position of the rotation of the housing 110 in the second direction more accurately.

When the elastic member 150 is in a compressed state, the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the first guide block 133, and the third end 153 abuts against the first limiting portion 171, the housing 110 can rotate in the first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the first guide block 133 is located in the first guide groove 1111, so that the first guide block 133 moves in the first direction M-M under the action of the elastic member 150 until the atomizer 130 is located at the first position, see fig. 3.

Accordingly, the process of switching the nebulizer 130 from the first position to the second position is:

when the housing 110 rotates in a first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130, the first guide slot 1111 drives the first guide block 133 to move in the first direction M-M until the atomizer 130 is located at the raised middle position, and the first guide block 133 compresses the elastic member 150 in the first direction M-M to a compressed state, see fig. 4;

the housing 110 continues to rotate in the first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130, the first pushing portion 1115 pushes the elastic member 150 to rotate in the first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the second limiting portion 173, and the third end 153 abuts against the second guide block 135, see fig. 5;

the housing 110 rotates in the second rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the second guide block 135 is located in the second guide groove 1113, so that the second guide block 135 moves in the first direction M-M under the action of the elastic member 150 until the atomizer 130 is located in the second position, see fig. 6.

The process of switching the nebulizer 130 from the first position to the second position is:

the housing 110 rotates in the second rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130, the second guide groove 1113 drives the second guide block 135 to move in the first direction M-M to a position where the atomizer 130 is located in the middle position of falling back, and the second guide block 135 compresses the elastic member 150 in the first direction M-M to a compressed state, see fig. 7;

the housing 110 continues to rotate in the second rotation direction, and the second pushing portion 1117 pushes the elastic member 150 to rotate in the second rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the second end 151 of the elastic member 150 abuts against the first guide block 133 and the third end 153 abuts against the first limiting portion 171, see fig. 8;

the housing 110 rotates in the first rotation direction relative to the atomizer 130 until the first guide block 133 is located in the first guide groove 1111, so that the first guide block 133 moves in the first direction M-M by the elastic member 150 until the atomizer 130 is located in the first position, see fig. 3.

Referring to fig. 3 to 8, in the embodiment, the inner sidewall of the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110 is provided with an accommodating space 1119 communicated with the first guide groove 1111 and the second guide groove 1113, and the first limiting portion 171 and the second limiting portion 173 are partially inserted into the accommodating space 1119, so that the elastic member 150 can be partially located in the accommodating space 1119, thereby increasing the size of the elastic member 150 perpendicular to the first direction M-M, and further improving the stability of the elastic member 150.

In addition, the first limiting portion 171 and the second limiting portion 173 are partially inserted into the accommodating space 1119, so that the distance between the housing 110 and the limiting member 170 can be reduced, and the requirement for miniaturization of the atomizer assembly can be met.

In this embodiment, the elastic member 150 is partially located in the accommodating space 1119, and the accommodating space 1119 has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other along the circumferential direction of the inner sidewall of the outer cavity. The first and second side walls constitute first and

second push sections

1115 and 1117, respectively. Therefore, the first pushing part 1115 and the second pushing part 1117 do not need to be separately arranged on the inner side wall of the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, so that the structure of the housing 110 is simpler, and the increase of the distance between the housing 110 and the limiting part 170 due to the arrangement of the first pushing part 1115 and the second pushing part 1117 is avoided.

In this embodiment, the second end 151 of the elastic element 150 is fixedly provided with a first abutting portion 152, and the third end 153 of the elastic element 150 is fixedly provided with a second abutting portion 154. Therefore, the elastic member 150 abuts against the first guide block 133 through the first abutting portion 152, and abuts against the first stopper portion 171 through the second abutting portion 154, so that both ends of the elastic member 150 can more stably abut against the first guide block 133 and the first stopper portion 171, respectively; or the elastic element 150 abuts against the second limiting portion 173 through the first abutting portion 152 and abuts against the second guide block 135 through the second abutting portion 154, so that both ends of the elastic element 150 are respectively abutted against the second guide block 135 and the second abutting portion 154 more stably.

In addition, the first abutting portion 152 and the second abutting portion 154 are provided to facilitate the elastic member 150 to be smoothly pushed to rotate relative to the atomizer 130 by the first pushing portion 1115 or the second pushing portion 1117, so that the atomizer 130 can be smoothly switched between the first position and the second position.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the first guide block 133 has a first abutting surface 1331, and the first abutting portion 152 has a second abutting surface 1521 which is in abutting fit with the first abutting surface 1331. The first abutting surface 1331 is a concave surface, and the second abutting surface 1521 is a convex surface. Therefore, the first abutting part 152 is prevented from deflecting relative to the first guide block 133, and the phenomenon that the local stress of the first abutting part 152 and the first guide block 133 is concentrated is avoided through surface contact, so that the first abutting part 152 can be abutted with the first guide block 133 more stably, and the stability of the elastic part 150 is ensured. It is understood that in another possible embodiment, the first abutting surface may be a convex surface, and the second abutting surface may be a concave surface; or the first abutting surface is set to be an irregular curved surface, and the second abutting surface is correspondingly set to be an irregular curved surface matched and attached with the first abutting surface.

Referring to fig. 5, also in the present embodiment, the second guide block 135 has a third abutment surface 1351, and the second abutment 154 has a fourth abutment surface 1541 which is in close fit with the third abutment surface 1351. The third abutting surface 1351 is a concave surface, and the fourth abutting surface 1541 is a convex surface. Therefore, the second abutting portion 154 is prevented from deflecting relative to the second guide block 135, and the phenomenon that the second abutting portion 154 and the second guide block 135 are locally stressed and concentrated is avoided through surface contact, so that the second abutting portion 154 can be abutted against the second guide block 135 more stably, and the stability of the elastic piece 150 is ensured. It is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the third abutting surface may be a convex surface, and the fourth abutting surface may be a concave surface; or the third abutting surface is set to be an irregular curved surface, and the fourth abutting surface is correspondingly set to be an irregular curved surface matched and attached with the third abutting surface.

In this embodiment, the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 have the same structure and size. It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 may be identical or different in structure and size.

Referring to fig. 3 to 8, in the embodiment, the limiting member 170 is provided with a first limiting groove 175 extending along the first direction M-M and matching with the first guide block 133, and a second limiting groove 177 extending along the first direction M-M and matching with the second guide block 135. The first and second limiting

grooves

175 and 177 are used to limit the rotation of the first and second guide blocks 133 and 135 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction M-M, respectively, so as to better ensure that the moving directions of the first and second guide blocks 133 and 135 are along the first and second directions M-M and M-M, and thus to better ensure that the moving direction of the atomizer 130 is the first direction M-M.

Of course, it is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the rotation of the atomizer 130 is not limited to the manner in which the first and second guide blocks 133 and 135 are respectively limited by the first and second limiting

grooves

175 and 177, and the rotation of the atomizer 130 may also be limited by other manners, so that the atomizer 130 can stably move along the first direction M-M.

In this embodiment, the atomizer assembly further comprises a first return structure 180 and a second return structure 190. When the elastic element 150 is in a compressed state, the second end 151 of the elastic element 150 abuts against the second limiting portion 173, and the third end 153 abuts against the second guide block 135, the housing 110 can rotate in the second rotation direction under the action of the first reset structure 180 until the atomizer 130 is located at the second position. When the elastic element 150 is in a compressed state, the second end 151 of the elastic element 150 abuts against the first guide block 133, and the third end 153 abuts against the first limiting portion 171, the housing 110 can rotate in the first rotation direction under the action of the second reset structure 190 until the atomizer 130 is located at the first position. The arrangement of the first reset structure 180 and the second reset structure 190 simplifies the operation steps of the user, so that the operation mode is simpler, and time and labor are saved.

In addition, when the housing 110 is rotated by an erroneous operation, the housing 110 may be reset by the first reset structure 180 or the second reset structure 190.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first restoring structure 180 is a compression spring, one end of the compression spring abuts against the limiting member 170, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the housing 110. More specifically, the limiting member 170 is provided with a reset groove 179 extending along the circumferential direction, and the inner side wall of the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110 is provided with a reset block 1118 matching with the reset groove 179 and inserted into the reset groove 179. The first reset structure 180 has one end abutting against the reset block 1118 and the other end abutting against a side wall of the reset groove 179 perpendicular to the extending direction of the reset groove 179. When the housing 110 rotates in the first rotational direction, the first restoring structure 180 is compressed, and the elastic force of the first restoring structure 180 acting on the restoring mass 1118 drives the restoring mass 1118 to rotate in the second rotational direction.

In the present embodiment, the second return structure 190 is also a compression spring. More specifically, the second reset structure 190 is disposed on a side of the reset block 1118 that is distal from the first reset structure 180. The reset principle of the second reset structure 190 is the same as that of the first reset structure 180, and is not described herein again.

Further, in this embodiment, the first reset structure 180 and the second reset structure 190 are both fixedly connected to the reset block 1118. Thus, as the housing 110 rotates in the first direction M-M, the first reset structure 180 is compressed and the second reset structure 190 is stretched, such that the elastic force of the first reset structure 180 and the second reset structure 190 acting on the reset block 1118 drives the reset block 1118 to rotate in the second direction. Similarly, when the housing 110 rotates in the second direction, the second reset structure 190 is compressed and the first reset structure 180 is stretched, so that the elastic force of the first reset structure 180 and the second reset structure 190 acting on the reset block 1118 drives the reset block 1118 to rotate in the first direction.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the structures of the first and second return structures are not limited to compression springs, but may be torsion springs, etc.

In this embodiment, an atomizer tray 140 is fixedly disposed at one end of the atomizer 130 away from the air outlet end 131, and the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 are disposed on an outer sidewall of the atomizer tray 140. And the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 are integrally formed with the outer sidewall of the atomizer tray 140. It is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 may be separately disposed from the atomizer tray 140, and both the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 are fixedly connected to the outer sidewall of the atomizer tray 140 by welding or screwing. In addition, the first guide block 133 and the second guide block 135 may be directly fixed to the atomizer 130, or may be fixed to another structure fixedly connected to the atomizer 130.

Alternatively, the atomizer 130 and the atomizer tray 140 may be fixedly connected by magnetic attraction or snap fit.

Referring to fig. 2, in the embodiment, the limiting member 170 is provided with a third limiting portion 172, and the housing 110 is provided with a fourth limiting portion 115 matched with the first limiting portion 172. The third position-limiting portion 172 cooperates with the fourth position-limiting portion 115 to limit the movement of the housing 110 relative to the atomizer 130 along the first direction M-M.

Further, the third position-limiting portion 172 is an annular groove, and the fourth position-limiting portion 115 is an annular protrusion. Of course, it is understood that, in another possible embodiment, the structures of the third position-limiting portion and the fourth position-limiting portion are not limited thereto, and the movement of the atomizer and the housing along the first direction M-M may be limited.
