Abstract

The present utility model provides a child lock structure and an aerosol generating device. When moving to a first position, an actuating member can actuate a switch assembly to turn off a circuit, so that the aerosol generating device cannot normally start atomization due to a power failure, thereby facilitating the prevention of children from easily starting the aerosol generating device. Also, when moving to the first position, the actuating member can be locked to a fixing member by means of a locking structure. Therefore, in the child lock structure provided in the embodiments of the present utility model, first, the locking effect of the locking structure on the actuating member needs to be removed, and then the actuating member is operated to a second position to actuate the switch assembly to turn on the circuit, so that the aerosol generating device can be normally started. In this way, since the difficulty and complexity of children operating the actuating member to actuate the switch assembly to turn on the circuit are increased, the aerosol generating device can be effectively prevented from being caused to enter a working state due to misoperation by children, thereby reducing the risk of affecting the health of children due to the children inhaling aerosols by mistake.

In addition, when the actuator moves to the first position, the actuator can be locked to the fixing member by the locking structure, which increases the difficulty for children to operate the actuator to actuate the switch assembly to connect the circuit, thereby making it difficult for children to start the aerosol generating device through a simple single operation, which is beneficial to improve the safety of child protection. Therefore, the child lock structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model first needs to release the locking effect of the locking structure on the actuator, and then operate the actuator to the second position to actuate the switch assembly to connect the circuit, so that the aerosol generating device can be normally started. In this way, since it is more difficult and complicated for children to operate the actuator to actuate the switch assembly to connect the circuit, it can effectively prevent children from causing the aerosol generating device to enter the working state due to misoperation, thereby reducing the risk of children accidentally inhaling aerosols and affecting their health.

Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the specialized features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 together, and the child lock structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model will now be described. The child lock structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model is applicable to the aerosol generating device to prevent children from misoperating the aerosol generating device and causing it to enter the working state, thereby improving the safety of child protection. The aerosol generating device mentioned in the embodiment of the utility model generally includes an atomizer 5 and a power supply device 6 electrically connected to the atomizer 5. When the aerosol generating device is used, the power supply device 6 can provide electrical energy to the atomizer 5, and the atomizer 5 heats and atomizes the atomized liquid under the action of electric drive, and the aerosol formed by the atomization of the atomized liquid can be inhaled by the user.

Please further refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3. The child lock structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a fixing member 1, a switch assembly 2, an actuator 3 and a locking structure 4. The fixing member 1 is used to be fixedly installed on the housing 9 of the aerosol generating device, and the switch assembly 2 is used to control the power on or off of the aerosol generating device. The specific control process is: when the switch assembly 2 disconnects the circuit, the switch assembly 2 controls the aerosol generating device to be powered off, and the aerosol generating device cannot start the atomization work; when the switch assembly 2 connects the circuit, the switch assembly 2 controls the aerosol generating device to be powered on, and the aerosol generating device can start the atomization work normally.

Please further refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4. The actuator 3 is movably mounted on the fixing member 1, and the switch assembly 2 is arranged on the fixing member 1 and/or the actuator 3. The user can operate the actuator 3 to actuate the switch assembly 2, so that the switch assembly 2 can selectively disconnect or connect the circuit. The specific operation control process is: when the actuator 3 moves to the first position, the actuator 3 actuates the switch assembly 2, so that the switch assembly 2 disconnects the circuit; when the actuator 3 moves to the second position, the actuator 3 actuates the switch assembly 2, so that the switch assembly 2 connects the circuit. The locking structure 4 is arranged on the fixing member 1 and/or the actuator 3. When the actuator 3 moves to the first position, the locking structure 4 locks the actuator 3 on the fixing member 1. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, when the actuator 3 moves to the second position, the locking structure 4 can also lock the actuator 3 on the fixing member 1, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the switch assembly 2 in connecting the circuit. It should also be noted that the actuator 3 is movably mounted on the fixing member 1, including but not limited to the use case where the actuator 3 is rotatably and/or slidably mounted on the fixing member 1.

The basic operation process of the child lock structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model is as follows: the child lock structure is assembled at the corresponding position on the aerosol generating device. When the aerosol generating device needs to be used, the user can operate the actuator 3 to make the actuator 3 move to the second position. At this time, the actuator 3 can actuate the switch assembly 2, so that the switch assembly 2 connects the circuit, and the switch assembly 2 controls the aerosol generating device to be powered on. The aerosol generating device can normally start the atomization work and atomize the atomized liquid to form an aerosol that can be inhaled by the user. When the aerosol generating device is not needed, the user can operate the actuator 3 to make the actuator 3 move to the first position. At this time, the actuator 3 can actuate the switch assembly 2, so that the switch assembly 2 disconnects the circuit, and the switch assembly 2 controls the aerosol generating device to be powered off. The aerosol generating device cannot start the atomization work, thereby preventing children from starting the aerosol generating device by mistake, so that children cannot normally use the aerosol generating device and inhale the aerosol. In addition, in order to further improve the safety of child protection, when the actuator 3 moves to the first position, the locking structure 4 locks the actuator 3 on the fixing member 1, thereby increasing the difficulty and complexity of operating the actuator 3 to actuate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit, making it difficult for children to operate the actuator 3, thereby preventing children from easily starting the aerosol generating device through a simple and single operation, and effectively preventing children from causing the aerosol generating device to enter the working state due to misoperation, thereby reducing the risk of children accidentally inhaling aerosols and affecting their health.

Compared with the prior art, the child lock structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model can activate the switch assembly 2 to disconnect the circuit when the actuator 3 moves to the first position, so that the aerosol generating device cannot start the atomization work normally due to power failure, which is beneficial to prevent children from easily starting the aerosol generating device. In addition, when the actuator 3 moves to the first position, the actuator 3 can be locked to the fixing member 1 by the locking structure 4, which increases the difficulty for children to operate the actuator 3 to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit, thereby making it difficult for children to start the aerosol generating device through a simple single operation, which is beneficial to improve the safety of child protection. Therefore, the child lock structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model first needs to be released. The locking structure 4 locks the actuator 3, and then operates the actuator 3 to the second position to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit, so that the aerosol generating device can be normally started. In this way, since it is more difficult and complicated for children to operate the actuator 3 to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit, it can effectively prevent children from entering the working state due to misoperation, thereby reducing the risk of children accidentally inhaling aerosols and affecting their health.

Please further refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. In some embodiments, the locking structure 4 includes a lock cylinder body 41 connected to the actuator 3 at the first end, a lock catch portion 42 provided on the lock cylinder body 41, a lock slot 43 provided on the fixing member 1, and a position limiting slot 44 provided on the fixing member 1. The actuator 3 can be rotatably mounted on the fixing member 1 through the lock cylinder body 41 by inserting the second end of the lock cylinder body 41 into the lock slot 43. Since the position corresponding to the lock slot 43 on the fixing member 1 is also provided with a position limiting slot 44 for engaging with the lock catch portion 42, when the actuator 3 is rotated so that the lock catch portion 42 is aligned with the position limiting slot 44 and engaged in the position limiting slot 44, the mutually engaged lock catch portion 42 and the position limiting slot 44 can lock the lock cylinder body 41 in the lock slot 43. When the lock of the lock cylinder 41 by the lock slot 43 needs to be released, the actuator 3 needs to be pressed axially along the lock cylinder 41 so that the lock catch 42 on the lock cylinder 41 is separated from the limit slot 44, and then the lock of the actuator 3 by the locking structure 4 can be released, so that the user can rotate the actuator 3 to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit. In this way, it is more difficult for children to operate the actuator 3 to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit, so that children cannot activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit by rotating the actuator 3, which is conducive to improving the safety of child protection. It should be noted that the lock catch 42 can be, but is not limited to, a clamping protrusion convexly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the lock cylinder 41, and the number of the clamping protrusions can be set to multiple, and the multiple clamping protrusions are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the lock cylinder 41. Correspondingly, a plurality of limit slots 44 are provided at the position corresponding to the lock slot 43 on the fixing member 1, and the clamping protrusions can be arranged one by one with the limit slots 44, so as to enhance the stability and reliability of locking the lock cylinder 41 in the lock slot 43. Of course, the number of the limiting slots 44 may be greater than the number of the engaging protrusions. The locking cylinder 41 can be locked in the locking slot 43 by simply engaging each engaging protrusion in the corresponding limiting slot 44 .

Please further refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 9 . In some embodiments, the locking structure 4 further includes an anti-dropping member 45 disposed at the second end of the lock cylinder 41. The anti-dropping member 45 is accommodated in the lock groove 43. The second end of the cylinder 41 is provided with an anti-dropping member 45, so that the anti-dropping member 45 can be rotatably arranged in the lock slot 43 along with the lock cylinder 41, so as to prevent the lock cylinder 41 from separating and falling off from the lock slot 43, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the locking structure 4. It should be noted that the anti-dropping member 45 can be, but is not limited to, an anti-dropping screw.

Please further refer to FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 9. In some embodiments, the locking structure 4 further includes an elastic member 46 for pushing the actuating member 3 in a direction away from the fixing member 1, and the elastic member 46 is disposed between the fixing member 1 and the actuating member 3. By disposing the elastic member 46 between the fixing member 1 and the actuating member 3, when the actuating member 3 is rotated to align the locking portion 42 with the limiting card slot 44, the elastic member 46 pushes the actuating member 3 in a direction away from the fixing member 1, and the actuating member 3 drives the locking portion 42 on the lock cylinder 41 to automatically engage in the limiting card slot 44, and under the elastic force of the elastic member 46, the locking portion 42 is tightly engaged in the limiting card slot 44 without being separated from each other. When the lock slot 43 needs to release the lock of the lock cylinder 41, the actuator 3 needs to be pressed axially along the lock cylinder 41 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 46, so that the lock portion 42 on the lock cylinder 41 can be disengaged from the limit slot 44, thereby releasing the lock of the locking structure 4 on the actuator 3, so that the user can rotate the actuator 3 to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit. In this way, it is more difficult for children to operate the actuator 3 to activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit, so that children cannot activate the switch assembly 2 to connect the circuit by rotating the actuator 3, which is conducive to improving the safety of child protection. It should be noted that the elastic member 46 can be but not limited to a coil spring, a plastic spring or a metal spring. When the elastic member 46 is a coil spring, the coil spring is sleeved on the lock cylinder 41, one end of the coil spring abuts against the fixing member 1, and the other end of the coil spring abuts against the actuator 3.

Please further refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4. In some embodiments, the switch assembly 2 includes a first conductive member 21, a second conductive member 22 and a third conductive member 23. The first conductive member 21 is electrically connected to a first electrode of a power supply device 6 of the aerosol generating device through a conductive wire. The second conductive member 22 is electrically connected to a first connection electrode of a controller 7 of the aerosol generating device through a conductive wire. The third conductive member 23 is used to electrically conduct the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22. The second connection electrode of the controller 7 is electrically connected to a second electrode of the power supply device 6 through a conductive wire. The actuator 3 is rotatably disposed on the fixing member 1, and the third conductive member 23 is disposed on the actuator 3. When the actuator 3 drives the third conductive member 23 to rotate to the first position, the third conductive member 23 can be separated from the first conductive member 21 and/or the second conductive member 22 to cut off the power. The switch assembly 2 can be made to disconnect the circuit. When the actuator 3 drives the third conductive member 23 to rotate to the second position, the third conductive member 23 can be made to contact the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22 respectively to be energized, and the switch assembly 2 can be made to connect the circuit. It should be noted that when the first electrode of the power supply device 6 is the positive electrode of the power supply device 6, correspondingly, the second electrode of the power supply device 6 is the negative electrode of the power supply device 6, the first wiring pole of the controller 7 is the positive wiring pole of the controller 7, and the second wiring pole of the controller 7 is the negative wiring pole of the controller 7; when the first electrode of the power supply device 6 is the negative electrode of the power supply device 6, correspondingly, the second electrode of the power supply device 6 is the positive electrode of the power supply device 6, the first wiring pole of the controller 7 is the negative wiring pole of the controller 7, and the second wiring pole of the controller 7 is the positive wiring pole of the controller 7.

Please further refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. In some embodiments, the switch assembly 2 includes a first conductive member 21, a second conductive member 22 and a third conductive member 23. The first conductive member 21 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the power supply device 6 of the aerosol generating device through a conductive wire, the second conductive member 22 is electrically connected to the first connection electrode of the controller 7 of the aerosol generating device through a conductive wire, and the third conductive member 23 is used to cooperate in electrically conducting the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22. The second connection electrode of the controller 7 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the power supply device 6 through a conductive wire. The actuator 3 is rotatably disposed on the fixing member 1, and the third conductive member 23 is a conductive spring disposed on the fixing member 1. When the actuator 3 rotates to the second position, the actuator 3 can press the third conductive member 23 toward the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22, so that the third conductive member 23 is respectively in contact with the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22 and energized, so that the switch assembly 2 can be connected to the circuit. When the actuating member 3 rotates to the first position, the actuating member 3 cancels the pressure on the third conductive member 23, so that the third conductive member 23 is separated from the first conductive member 21 and/or the second conductive member 22 and powered off, thereby enabling the switch assembly 2 to disconnect the circuit.

Please further refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 9 . In some embodiments, the first conductive member 21 and/or the second conductive member 22 is a conductive spring pin, and the third conductive member 23 is a conductive spring sheet. The conductive spring sheet is driven by the actuator 3 to rotate to the second position, or the actuator 3 rotates to the second position to press the conductive spring sheet toward the conductive spring pin, which can enhance the stability of the contact between the conductive spring sheet and the conductive spring pin, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch assembly 2 in connecting the circuit. The fixing member 1 is provided with a mounting hole 13 for mounting the conductive spring pin, and the conductive spring pin is inserted and fixed in the mounting hole 13.

Please further refer to Figures 7, 8 and 9. In some embodiments, the fixing member 1 is provided with an air inlet 11 for introducing external air into the aerosol generating device. When the actuator 3 moves to the first position, the actuator 3 closes the air inlet 11, so that children have difficulty in inhaling when using the aerosol generating device, thereby reducing the desire of children to inhale by mistake and giving up the action of inhaling by mistake. In addition, in the case where the controller 7 is a pneumatic switch such as a microphone switch that triggers the start of the aerosol generating device by sensing the airflow, the air inlet 11 is connected to the airway of the pneumatic switch. When the actuator 3 moves to the first position, the actuator 3 closes the air inlet 11, so that the pneumatic switch cannot sense the airflow and will not trigger the start of the aerosol generating device. It should be noted that when the actuator 3 moves to the second position, the actuator 3 opens the air inlet 11, so that external air can be introduced into the aerosol generating device or the airway of the pneumatic switch through the air inlet 11, ensuring that the aerosol generating device can start the atomization work normally.

Please further refer to Figures 1, 6 and 8. In some embodiments, the fixing member 1 can be but not limited to a base bracket, and the actuator 3 can be but not limited to a rotating seat rotatably mounted on the base bracket. At least one first identification portion 31 is provided on the rotating seat, and at least one second identification portion 12 is provided on the base bracket. When the rotating seat rotates to the first position or the second position, the first identification portion 31 overlaps, aligns or aligns with the corresponding second identification portion 12 to indicate that the rotating seat is rotated to the right position. It should be noted that the first identification portion 31 is a first protrusion provided on the rotating seat, and the second identification portion 12 is a second protrusion or recessed portion provided on the base bracket. When the first protrusion and the second protrusion or recessed portion are aligned or overlapped, it can indicate that the rotating seat drives the sealing sleeve to rotate to the right position; or the first identification portion 31 is a first scale line provided on the rotating seat, and the second identification portion 12 is a second scale line provided on the base bracket. When the first scale line and the second scale line are aligned or overlapped, it can indicate that the rotating seat belt is rotated to the right position. Alternatively, the first identification part 31 is a first alignment groove provided on the rotating seat, and the second identification part 12 is a second alignment groove provided on the base bracket. When the first alignment groove and the second alignment groove are aligned or overlapped, it can indicate that the rotating seat has rotated to the right position. Alternatively, the first identification part 31 is an indicating arrow provided on the rotating seat, and the second identification part 12 is an alignment hole provided on the base bracket. When the indicating arrow and the indicating alignment hole are aligned or overlapped, it can indicate that the rotating seat has rotated to the right position.
