Referring to fig. 2-5, the output electrode has a second electrode 44 (positive and negative), and the second electrode 44 is electrically connected to the connecting assembly 1. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3-4, the circuit board 43 is fixed to the battery holder 41 by screws or bolts or snaps, and the fixed positions may be two opposite ends, such as the upper and lower ends, of the circuit board 43.

Referring to fig. 2-5, the circuit board 43 and the first atomizer 2 are located on the same side of the connecting assembly 1. Specifically, the bottom end of the circuit board 43 is approximately flush with the bottom end of the first atomizer 2, and the connecting assembly 1 is transversely disposed at the side of the bottom ends of the first atomizer 2 and the circuit board 43, that is, the first atomizer 2 and the circuit board 43 are disposed side by side at the connecting assembly 1. In some other embodiments, when the side of the circuit board 43 is substantially flush with the side of the first atomizer 2, the connecting component 1 may also be disposed across the sides of both the first atomizer 2 and the circuit board 43. At this time, the second electrode 44 of the circuit board 43 and the first electrode 23 of the first atomizer 2 may contact the same side of the connecting assembly 1; it is of course also possible to contact the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 44 with both sides or ends of the connection assembly 1, respectively.

Referring to fig. 2-5, the circuit board 43 is disposed between the battery holder 41 and the first atomizer 2. A gap is formed between the circuit board 43 and the first atomizer 2, and a gap is formed between at least a part (for example, a middle area) of the circuit board 43 and the battery holder 41 and the battery 42, wherein the gap is beneficial to heat dissipation of components on the circuit board 43; in particular, the presence of the gap between the circuit board 43 and the housing of the first atomizer 2 also makes it possible for the circuit board 43 to prevent the first atomizer 2 from being detached from the housing 6 or being inserted into the housing 6 when the first atomizer 2 is detached from or inserted into the housing 6.

Referring to fig. 1, the connecting assembly 1 includes a connecting cover 11 and a connecting member 12. The connecting cover 11 is insulated and can be used for fixing or accommodating the connecting piece 12; the connecting member 12 is made of a conductive material (e.g., copper) and functions to conduct electricity. The connecting element 12 is at least partially inserted into the connecting cover 11, so that the connecting element 12 is fixed by the connecting cover 11, and one side of the connecting element 12 is exposed on the connecting cover 11.

The connecting assembly 1 simultaneously connects the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 44, and the connecting member 12 is detachably connected to at least one of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 44 because the first atomizer 2 needs to be disassembled for cleaning or replacement, and the electrical connection between the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 44 needs to be disconnected before the first atomizer 2 is disassembled. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the connection assembly 1 is detachably movably connected or movably or slidably connected with the housing 6, so that, after the connection assembly 1 is detached or reaches a certain position, the connection member 12 is naturally separated from both the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 44, and the electrical connection between the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 44 is broken. In some embodiments, the connection assembly is fixedly connected (e.g., welded or fixedly inserted) with the first electrode, but detachably connected with the second electrode, and when the first atomizer needs to be detached, the connection assembly is detached together with the first atomizer, and the connection assembly is separated from the second electrode, so that the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically disconnected.

The sheet structure may be a linear sheet structure, a broken line sheet structure (as shown in fig. 1), or a bent sheet structure, and the specific sheet structure may be adjusted by combining the shape of the connection cover and other elements thereon, or may be designed correspondingly by combining the possible contact positions of the first electrode or the second electrode.

The connecting assembly further comprises a convex edge, the convex edge is arranged around the contact points (such as points a and b in fig. 1) of the connecting piece 12 and the first electrode 23 and/or the second electrode 44, particularly the periphery of the separable connection part between the first electrode 23 or the second electrode 44 and the connecting piece 12 is arranged, and poor conduction caused by poor assembly or displacement caused by shaking can be prevented. In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the connecting cover 11 is provided with a groove 15, and the groove wall of the groove 15 forms a complete convex edge, and the connecting member 12 is embedded in the groove 15, thereby being fixed on the connecting cover 11. It is arranged that the connection of the connector 12 to the first electrode 23 or the second electrode 44 (e.g. points a and b in fig. 1) is located within the opening of the recess 15.

In some embodiments, the connection assembly may include an elastomer (e.g., a spring, a leaf spring, an elastic rubber, a sponge, etc.) secured to the connector; or the connecting member itself is made of an elastic material (for example, a metal sheet provided with an elastic deformation space on the connecting cover), and the first electrode 23 or the second electrode 44 is a metal thimble without elasticity, so as to realize the elastic abutment of the first electrode 23 or the second electrode 44, so as to realize good electric conduction.

Referring to fig. 1, the connection cover 11 covers a fitting opening 311 provided in the housing 6, and the first atomizer 2 enters the housing 6 through the fitting opening 311 or is separated from the housing 6 through the fitting opening 311. In some embodiments, the mounting opening 311 in the housing 6 is in the opposite direction to the air outlet of the first atomizer 2, typically with the air outlet of the aerosol generator facing upwards, to facilitate user suction, whereas positioning the mounting opening 311 in the opposite direction to the air outlet may avoid the mounting opening 311 being easily observable by the user. In this case, the housing 6 is used as a reference, and the fitting opening 311 and the air outlet are provided at opposite ends of the housing 6. When the first atomizer 2 is mounted inside the housing 6, the first electrode 23 of the first atomizer 2 extends along the axial direction of the mounting opening 311, and the connecting member 12 is disposed along the radial direction of the mounting opening 311, and the connecting member 12 abuts against the first electrode 23 when the first atomizer 2 is mounted inside the housing 6. The second electrode 44 on the circuit board 43 is also connected to the connector 12, and may be fixedly connected by soldering or the like, or may be detachably connected in the same manner as the first electrode 23, or may be rotatably connected. In the present embodiment, the circuit board 43 is disposed at the side of the first atomizer 2, and the second electrode 44 also extends along the axial direction of the mounting opening 311, and abuts against the first electrode 23, so as to maintain good electrical conduction therebetween and simplify the internal structure.

Referring to fig. 1, the connecting assembly 1 is in the form of a plate, and it can be understood that the connecting cover 11 and the connecting piece 12 are arranged in parallel, specifically, transversely to the radial direction of the assembly opening.

In some embodiments, the retaining structure may be a magnetic member, so as to be fixed to the corresponding magnetic induction member on the housing or the fixing base by magnetic attraction. In some embodiments, the backstop structure may be a thread, with the securement being accomplished by a threaded connection.

In some embodiments, the connecting member included in the connecting assembly is elongated, that is, has two ends spanning a certain length, one end of the connecting member is connected with the first electrode of the first atomizer, the other end of the connecting member is connected with the second electrode on the circuit board, and at least one end of the connecting member can be detachably connected, so that indirect conduction between the first atomizer and the circuit board is realized. The elongated connector may be used in at least one of the embodiments described above, for example, in an aerosol generator in which the first atomizer and the circuit board are disposed on the same side of the connection assembly, or in an aerosol generator in which the first atomizer and the circuit board are disposed on both sides of the connection assembly, and may be used in any case where the positions of the first atomizer and the circuit board are staggered relative to each other.
