DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0025] The terms "first", "second", and "third" in this application are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number or order of technical features indicated. All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) in the embodiments of this application are only used for explaining relative position relationships, movement situations, or the like between the various components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications change correspondingly. In addition, terms "include", "have", and any variations thereof are intended to indicate non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units; and instead, further optionally includes a step or unit that is not listed, or further optionally includes another step or unit that is intrinsic to the process, method, product, or device.

[0026] "Embodiment" mentioned in the specification means that particular features, structures, or characteristics described with reference to the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The term appearing at different positions of the specification may not refer to the same embodiment or an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with another embodiment. A person skilled in the art explicitly or implicitly understands that the embodiments described in the specification may be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] It should be noted that, when a component is referred to as "being fixed to" another component, the component may be directly on the other component, or an intervening component may be present. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, the component may be directly connected to the another component, or one or more intervening components may also be present between the component and the another component. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", and similar expressions used in this specification are only for purposes of illustration but not indicate a unique implementation.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, an embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomization device 100, including: a housing assembly 1, where a first accommodating cavity 13 and an open end 14 in communication with the first accommodating cavity 13 are defined in the housing assembly 1; a connecting component 2, arranged in the housing assembly 1 and extending in the first accommodating cavity 13; a suction nozzle assembly 3, where the suction nozzle assembly 3 is detachably connected to the connecting component 2, to open or close the open end 14; and a plurality of aerosol generation apparatuses 4, accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 13. Connection between the connecting component 2 and the suction nozzle assembly 3 is configured to have a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is prevented from detaching from the housing assembly 1, to close the open end 14; and in the unlocked state, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is allowed to detach from the housing assembly 1, to open the open end 14, enabling at least one aerosol generation apparatus 4 to be removed or replaced from the open end 14. The connecting component 2 detachably connected to the suction nozzle assembly 3 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 13 of the housing assembly 1, so that the open end 14 of the first accommodating cavity 13 can be opened or closed. In the locked state, the connecting component 2 and the suction nozzle assembly 3 can close the open end 14 of the first accommodating cavity 13. In the unlocked state, the suction nozzle assembly 3 can detach from the connecting component 2 to open the open end 14, implementing convenient installation and removal of the suction nozzle assembly 3. In this way, the aerosol generation apparatus 4 accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 13 can be removed or replaced.

[0029] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the electronic atomization device 100 further includes a first elastic member 5 arranged between the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2. The first elastic member 5 is configured to abut against the suction nozzle assembly 3 in the unlocked state, to detach the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the housing assembly 1. By arranging the first elastic member 5, it is convenient for the suction nozzle assembly 3 to move toward a direction away from the connecting component 2 when the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are in the unlocked state.

[0030] Optionally, the first elastic member 5 may be a spring, or may be a tension spring, or may be a split magnet. When the first elastic member 5 is a spring, the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2, when in the unlocked state, may spring the suction nozzle assembly 3 away from the connecting component 2. When the first elastic member 5 is a split magnet, a first separate body may be connected to the suction nozzle assembly 3, the second separate body may be connected to the connecting component 2, and same poles of the first separate body and the second separate body are opposite to each other. For example, the N pole of the first separate body and the N pole of the second separate body are arranged opposite to each other. In this way, when in the unlocked state, the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are away from each other due to the repulsive effect of the same magnetic poles.

[0031] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, an extension direction of the first elastic member 5 is the same as an extension direction of the connecting component 2. Therefore, transverse space of the electronic atomization device 100 may be saved, and it is convenient for the first elastic member 5 to push the suction nozzle assembly 3 that detaches from the connecting component 2 away from the connecting component 2.

[0032] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the housing assembly 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that are rotatable relative to each other. The first housing 11 can drive the plurality of aerosol generation apparatuses 4 to rotate relative to the connecting component 2. The second housing 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting component 2. In this way, a user may choose to rotate the first housing 11, to select different aerosol generation apparatuses 4 for heating to generate an aerosol, implementing free switching between different flavors.

[0033] Optionally, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 may be distributed longitudinally, or may be distributed in parallel. Alternatively, a part of the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 are arranged longitudinally, and the other part of the second housing and the first housing 11 are arranged in parallel. The first housing 11 is rotatable relative to the part of the second housing 12 that is arranged longitudinally.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, the plurality of aerosol generation apparatuses 4 may be arranged around the connecting component 2. In this way, it is easier to rotate the first housing 11 to drive different aerosol generation apparatuses 4 to rotate, to implement switching between the aerosol generation apparatuses 4 of different flavors.

[0035] For example, the first housing 11 drives the plurality of aerosol generation apparatuses 4 to rotate around a central axis of the connecting component 2 and relative to the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the second housing 12 simultaneously. When the first housing 11 rotates, the suction nozzle assembly 3 can be locked by the connecting component 2 and cannot rotate. In other words, when the first housing 11 rotates relative to the connecting component 2, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is stationary relative to the connecting component 2. In addition, the suction nozzle assembly 3 may be arranged deviating from the central axis of the connecting component 2. When the first housing 11 drives the aerosol generation apparatuses 4 to rotate, air outlets 41 of the different aerosol generation apparatuses 4 may be in communication with an airway 34 of the suction nozzle assembly 3. In addition, during rotation of the first housing 11, an output electrode 7 that is of a battery mounted in the second housing 12 and that extends into the first housing 11 may be in communication with the different aerosol generation apparatuses 4, implementing electrical connection. The aerosol generation apparatus 4 in communication with the output electrode 7 of the battery may be heated to generate the aerosol. In addition, a position and a direction of the airway 34 of the suction nozzle assembly 3 may always correspond to a position and a direction of the output electrode 7 of the battery. In other words, when the same aerosol generation apparatus 4 is electrically connected to the output electrode 7 of the battery through rotation, the air outlet 41 of the aerosol generation apparatus 4 is also in communication with the airway 34 of the suction nozzle assembly 3, so that the aerosol generated by heating the aerosol generation apparatus 4 can enter the airway 34 of the suction nozzle assembly 3 through the air outlet 41 for the user to inhale.

[0036] In some other embodiments, two or more sets of output electrode 7 may be arranged in the first housing 11. In other words, two or more aerosol generation apparatuses 4 may be heated simultaneously to generate the aerosol. The user may match, based on a preference, a mixed aerosol generated by different aerosol generation apparatuses 4 for inhalation. This can improve fun and versatility of flavors of the electronic atomization device 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, a second accommodating cavity 21 may be defined in the connecting component 2, and when the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are in the locked state, a part of the suction nozzle assembly 3 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21. In this way, the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 can be connected more tightly, preventing the suction nozzle assembly 3 from detaching from the connecting component 2 during normal use.

[0038] Optionally, a seal member may further be arranged between the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2. The seal member is sleeved on a periphery of the part of the suction nozzle assembly 3 that is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21, to increase friction between the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2, to further prevent the suction nozzle assembly 3 from departing from the connecting component 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first elastic member 5 may be arranged in the second accommodating cavity 21, the first elastic member 5 may abut against the suction nozzle assembly 3, and when the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are in the locked state, the first elastic member 5 is compressed. The first elastic member 5 has a same extension direction as the connecting component 2, and the second accommodating cavity 21 is provided on an inner side of the connecting component. In other words, the first elastic member 5 has a same extension direction as the second accommodating cavity 21, so that the second accommodating cavity 21 can limit the first elastic member 5, avoiding causing damage to the first elastic member 5 due to deflection of the first elastic member 5 in a direction other than the extension direction of the first elastic member 5 when compressed. Therefore, the first elastic member 5 may be abutted and compressed by the part of the suction nozzle assembly 3 inserted in the connecting component 2 under external actuation, to generate elastic deformation to accumulate force. When the suction nozzle assembly 3 detaches from the connecting component 2, the suction nozzle assembly 3 can be bounced away from the connecting component 2.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the suction nozzle assembly 3 includes an extending portion 31 and a suction nozzle 32. The extending portion 31 is connected to the suction nozzle 32. When the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are in the locked state, at least a part of the extending portion 31 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21, and the extending portion 31 abuts against the first elastic member 5. The connecting component 2 is located between the plurality of aerosol generation apparatuses 4, and the extending portion 31 is arranged on the suction nozzle assembly 3. When the connecting component 2 and the extending portion 31 are in the locked state, a part of the extending portion 31 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21 of the connecting component 2, to greatly reduce occupation of inner space of the electronic atomization device 100, so that more aerosol generation apparatuses 4 can be arranged between a periphery of the connecting component 2 and an inner wall of the housing assembly 1, to meet a requirement that the same product has aerosol generation apparatuses 4 of a variety of flavors at the same time. In addition, the extending portion 31 abuts against the first elastic member 5, to cause the first elastic member 5 to better generate elastic deformation to accumulate force. When the extending portion 31 detaches from the second accommodating cavity 21, the extending portion 31 can be bounced away from the second accommodating cavity 21.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9, the extending portion 31 may include at least one first buckle 311, and the connecting component 2 may include at least one first clamping slot 22 corresponding to a position of the first buckle 311. Under external actuation, the extending portion 31 is rotatable relative to the connecting component 2, to cause the first buckle 311 to rotate relative to the first clamping slot 22, to implement engagement and detachment between the first buckle 311 and the first clamping slot 22. Through rotational engagement between the first buckle 311 and the first clamping slot 22, the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are connected more tightly when locked. In addition, unlocking also needs to be implemented through rotation, to prevent the suction nozzle assembly 3 from detaching in a use state.

[0042] In some embodiments, a depth of the first clamping slot 22 may transition from shallow to deep. When the first buckle 311 enters from a shallower end of the first clamping slot 22, and rotates toward a deeper end of the first clamping slot 22, the first buckle 311 engages with the first clamping slot 22, to lock the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2. When the first buckle 311 rotates from the deeper end to the shallower end of the first clamping slot 22, the first buckle 311 can detach from the first clamping slot 22, to unlock the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2.

[0043] Optionally, the extending portion 31 may include two first buckles 311, and the connecting component 2 may include two first clamping slots 22 corresponding to positions of the first buckles 311.

[0044] Optionally, the extending portion 31 may include a plurality of first buckles 311, and the first buckles 311 may be distributed in an extension direction of the extending portion 31 at different distances. In addition, the connecting component 2 may include a plurality of first clamping slots 22 in one-to-one correspondence to the positions of the first buckles 311.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the connecting component 2 further includes a connecting slot 23. The connecting slot 23 is in communication with the first clamping slot 22, and the connecting slot 23 is provided perpendicular to the first clamping slot 22. When the first buckle 311 enters the first clamping slot 22 from the connecting slot 23, the first clamping slot 22 is in interference fit with the first buckle 311. When the first buckle 311 enters the connecting slot 23 from the first clamping slot 22, the first buckle 311 detaches from the first clamping slot 22. Through arrangement of the connecting slot 23, the first buckle 311 can be quickly positioned to engage with the first clamping slot 22, to improve efficiency of installation and removal between the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2.

[0046] Optionally, when the extending portion 31 includes two first buckles 311 distributed symmetrically, and the connecting component 2 includes two connecting slots 23 and two first clamping slots 22, the two connecting slots 23 may be provided opposite to each other and in communication with the two first clamping slots 22 at the same time. In this way, when entering the first clamping slot 22 through the connecting slot 23, the first buckle 311 may rotate left or right to lock, or may rotate right or left from the locked state to enter the connecting slot 23 to unlock.

[0047] Optionally, the extending portion 31 may include a plurality of first buckles 311 distributed asymmetrically, and the connecting component 2 may include first clamping slots 22 respectively corresponding to the first buckles 311. A connecting slot 23 in communication with the first clamping slot 22 is provided on each first clamping slot 22. For example, each first clamping slot 22 may be configured as a ring clamping slot. The first buckles 311 distributed asymmetrically may enter the ring clamping slots through the connecting slots 23 that are in communication with the ring clamping slots. The first buckle 311 can be unlocked from the ring clamping slot only when rotating to a position of the connecting slot 23 in the ring clamping slot. Otherwise, the first buckle 311 and the ring clamping slot are in the locked state when rotating to any other position.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a limiting slot 24 is further provided in the connecting component 2. The limiting slot 24 is in communication with the first clamping slot 22, the first buckle 311, when located in the limiting slot 24, is restricted from rotating relative to the connecting component 2, and the first elastic member 5 retains the first buckle 311 in the limiting slot 24. The first buckle 311 is configured to slide into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24 under external actuation, and detach from the first clamping slot 22 through rotation. A depth of the limiting slot 24 in the extension direction of the connecting component is greater than the depth of the first clamping slot 22. When the first buckle 311 rotates into the limiting slot 24 from the first clamping slot 22, action force of the first elastic member 5 may abut the first buckle 311 in the limiting slot 24, to limit the first buckle 311, so that engagement between the first buckle 311 and the limiting slot 24 is more stable, that is, the extending portion 31 and the connecting component 2 are locked more stably. Further, when the first buckle 311 of the extending portion 31 is abutted in the limiting slot 24, the extending portion 31 (that is, the suction nozzle assembly 3) is locked to maintain stationary relative to the connecting component 2 and the second housing 12. Therefore, when the first housing 11 is rotated, the suction nozzle assembly 3 does not rotate along with the first housing 11. In this way, different aerosol generation apparatuses 4 may be switched to work by simply rotating the first housing 11, to generate the aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0049] Optionally, when the first elastic member 5 is a spring, the extending portion 31 may be pressed again toward a direction in which the spring is compressed, so that the first buckle 311 on the extending portion 31 slides into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24. Therefore, the first buckle 311 can detach from the first clamping slot 22 through rotation, to unlock the extending portion 31 and the connecting component 2.

[0050] Optionally, when the first elastic member 5 is a tension spring, the extending portion 31 may be pulled again toward a direction in which the tension spring is pulled, so that the first buckle 311 on the extending portion 31 slides into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24.

[0051] Optionally, when the first elastic member 5 is a split magnet, the first elastic member 5 may include a first separate body and a second separate body. The first separate body and the second separate body may be respectively arranged on the extending portion 31 and the connecting component 2, and same poles of the first separate body and the second separate body are arranged opposite to each other. Due to the repulsive effect of the same poles, the first buckle 311 can be abutted in the limiting slot 24. Therefore, the extending portion 31 may be pushed close to a direction of the connecting component 2, to cause the first buckle 311 to slide into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24.

[0052] In some embodiments, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is configured to be rotatable at a predetermined angle relative to the connecting component 2, to cause the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. In other words, the suction nozzle assembly 3 may rotate at 60°, 100°, 150°, 180°, 270°, 300°, 350°, or the like relative to the connecting component 2, to cause the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state, or switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. Rotation directions of the locked state and the unlocked state are opposite. For example, the suction nozzle assembly 3 may rotate at 90° clockwise relative to the connecting component 2, to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state, and may alternatively rotate at 90° counterclockwise, to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0053] In some other embodiments, one first clamping slot 22, two connecting slots 23, and one limiting slot 24 may be provided on the connecting component 2. The two connecting slots 23 are respectively provided at two ends of the first clamping slot 22 and in communication with the first clamping slot 22. The limiting slot 24 is provided between the two connecting slots 23 and in communication with the first clamping slot 22. In addition, one first buckle 311 may be arranged on the extending portion 31 of the suction nozzle assembly 3, the first buckle 311 may enter the first clamping slot 22 from the first connecting slot 23, and then enter the limiting slot 24 by rotating at a first angle along a first direction, to switch the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the unlocked state to the locked state; and when the first buckle 311 slides into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24, and then rotates at a second angle along the first direction into the second connecting slot 23 from the first clamping slot 22, the suction nozzle assembly switches from the locked state to the unlocked state; or the suction nozzle assembly 3 may rotate at the first angle along a second direction to cause the first buckle 311 to rotate from the first clamping slot 22 into the first connecting slot 23, to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. The first direction and the second direction are opposite. The first angle and the second angle may be 30°, 50°, 60°, 90°, 100°, 150°, 175°, or other degrees.

[0054] In some other embodiments, two first buckles 311 may also be arranged on the extending portion 31 of the suction nozzle assembly 3. Two connecting slots 23, two first clamping slots 22, and two limiting slots 24 may be provided on the connecting component 2. One connecting slot 23 and one limiting slot 24 may be provided at two ends of each first clamping slot 22, and the two first clamping slots 22 are not in communication. In this case, the two first buckles 311 may respectively enter the first clamping slot 22 from one connecting slot 23, and rotate at the first angle along the first direction to rotate from first clamping slot 22 into one limiting slot 24, to switch the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the unlocked state to the locked state. In addition, the two first buckles 311 may respectively slide into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot, and rotate at the first angle along the second direction to enter the connecting slot 23 from the first clamping slot 22, to switch the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0055] Alternatively, the two first clamping slots 22 on the connecting component 2 are connected end-to-end by one connecting slot 23. The two limiting slots 24 are respectively in communication with one first clamping slot 22, and the two limiting slots 24 are respectively located between the two connecting slots. That is, the limiting slot 24 is used for the connecting slots 23 to be spaced apart. A distance between the first limiting slot 24 and the first connecting slot 23 is equal to a distance between the second limiting slot 24 and the second connecting slot 23, namely, a first distance. A distance between the first limiting slot 24 and the second connecting slot 23 is equal to a distance between the second limiting slot 24 and the first connecting slot, namely, a second distance. The two first buckles 311 may respectively enter one first clamping slot 22 from one connecting slot 23, and rotate by the first distance along the first direction relative to the connecting component 2 to enter one limiting slot 24, to switch the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the unlocked state to the locked state. Then the first buckle 311 may slide into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24, and rotate by the second distance along the first direction to enter the other connecting slot 23, to switch the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the locked state to the unlocked state. Alternatively, after sliding into the first clamping slot 22 from the limiting slot 24, the first buckle 311 may rotate by the first distance along the second direction to enter one connecting slot 23 again, to switch the suction nozzle assembly 3 from the locked state to the unlocked state. The first direction and the second direction are opposite, and the first direction and the second direction may be equal, or may not be equal. The first distance is a distance by which the first buckle 311 rotates at the first angle relative to the connecting component 2, and the second distance is a distance by which the first buckle 311 rotates at the second angle relative to the connecting component 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, the extending portion 31 includes at least one second clamping slot 312, and the connecting component 2 includes at least one second buckle 25 corresponding to a position of the second clamping slot 312. Under external actuation, the connecting component 2 can linearly move relative to the extending portion 31, to cause the second buckle 25 to engage with or detach from the second clamping slot 312. When the second buckle 25 engages with the second clamping slot 312, a part of the extending portion 31 is located in the second accommodating cavity 21 of the connecting component 2. The suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 may be locked through engagement between the second buckle 25 and the second clamping slot 312; The suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are unlocked through detachment between the second buckle 25 and the second clamping slot 312. In addition to the engagement between the second buckle 25 and the second clamping slot 312, a seal member may further be arranged between the extending portion 31 and the connecting component 2. The seal member may be sleeved on a periphery of the extending portion 31. When the extending portion 31 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21, and the second buckle 25 engages with the second clamping slot 312, friction may be generated between the seal member and an inner wall of the second accommodating cavity 21, so that the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are locked more tightly.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, at least one first through hole 26 is provided on the connecting component 2. The first through hole 26 is in communication with an interior and an exterior of the second accommodating cavity 21, for the second buckle 25 to pass through and engage with the second clamping slot 312. In other words, the second buckle 25 is located on an outer side of the second accommodating cavity 21. When the extending portion 31 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21 under action of external force, a position of the second clamping slot 312 just corresponds to a position of the first through hole 26. In this case, the second buckle 25 engages with the second clamping slot 312 through the first through hole 26, so that the suction nozzle assembly 3 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state. When the second buckle 25 detaches from the second clamping slot 312, the suction nozzle assembly 3 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0058] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, the electronic atomization device 100 further includes an operation switch 6. Apart of the operation switch 6 is exposed to an outer side of the housing assembly 1. The operation switch 6 is configured to drive, under external actuation, the second buckle 25 to move, to implement engagement or detachment between the second buckle 25 and the second clamping slot 312.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the operation switch 6 includes a limiting member 61. The limiting member 61 is arranged on the periphery of the connecting component 2, and corresponds to the position of the first through hole 26. The limiting member 61 is configured to generate displacement under external actuation, to abut against or not abut against the second buckle 25. When the limiting member 61 abuts against the second buckle 25, the second buckle 25 engages with the second clamping slot 312; and when the limiting member 61 does not abut against the second buckle 25, the second buckle 25 detaches from the second clamping slot 312. For example, the second buckle 25 may be located outside space defined by the limiting member 61 and the connecting component 2, the limiting member 61 and the second buckle 25 are in a non-abutment state, and the suction nozzle assembly 3 and the connecting component 2 are in the unlocked state. When the limiting member 61 moves, to cause the second buckle 25 to move to the position of the first through hole 26 of the connecting component 2, the second buckle 25 engages into the second clamping slot 312 through the first through hole 26, the second buckle 25 engages with the second clamping slot 312, the second buckle 25 enters a range defined by the limiting member 61 and the connecting component 2, the limiting member 61 abuts against the second buckle, and the suction nozzle assembly 3 is in the locked state. When under external force actuation, the limiting member 61 moves to lose abutment against the second buckle 25, to cause the second buckle 25 to detach from the second clamping slot 312, the extending portion 31 on the suction nozzle assembly 3 may detach from the connecting component 2 from the second accommodating cavity 21, and the suction nozzle assembly 3 is in the unlocked state.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 14, a protruding portion 611 is arranged on an inner wall of the limiting member 61. The protruding portion 611 is configured to abut against or depart from the second buckle 25 under external actuation. When the protruding portion 611 abuts against the second buckle 25, the second buckle 25 engages with the second clamping slot 312; and when the protruding portion 611 departs from the second buckle 25, the second buckle 25 detaches from the second clamping slot 312. For example, the second buckle 25 may be a sphere, and the second clamping slot 312 may be a ring clamping slot. The sphere is located in the space defined by the limiting member 61 and the connecting component 2. Further, a seal member may be arranged on an end portion of the connecting component 2, to prevent the sphere from detaching from the defined space. When the limiting member 61 moves under external actuation, the sphere is partially rolled into the ring clamping slot through the first through hole 26, and the sphere occupies smaller space (for example, the sphere occupies smaller space transversely) in the defined space. Therefore, the sphere may roll from space defined by the inner wall of the limiting member 61, an outer wall of the connecting component 2, and the seal member to space defined by the protruding portion 611 and the first through hole 26, to cause the protruding portion 611 to abut against the sphere, so that the sphere engages with the ring clamping slot. In this case, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is in the locked state. Under external actuation, the protruding portion 611 moves to detach from the sphere. The sphere loses abutment, to detach from the ring clamping slot. The sphere rolls to the space defined by the inner wall of the limiting member 61, the outer wall of the connecting component 2, and the seal member. In this case, the extending portion 31 may detach from the second accommodating cavity 21, and the suction nozzle assembly 3 is in the unlocked state.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13, and FIG. 14, the operation switch 6 further includes a second elastic member 62. The second elastic member 62 is arranged between the limiting member 61 and the connecting component 2, and the second elastic member 62 respectively abuts against the limiting member 61 and the connecting component 2. The second elastic member 62 is configured to abut against the limiting member 61 when the sphere and the ring clamping slot are in a detachment state, to cause the limiting member 61 to lose abutment against the sphere, so that the sphere falls in the space defined by the inner wall of the limiting member 61, the outer wall of the connecting component 2, and the seal member. In this case, the sphere and the second elastic member 62 are respectively located on two sides of the protruding portion 611 in the extension direction of the connecting component 2. The second elastic member 62 may be a spring, a tension spring, or a split magnet. For example, when the second elastic member 62 is a spring, when under external force actuation, the protruding portion 611 is pushed to compress the spring, the sphere may roll into the ring clamping slot from the space defined by the inner wall of the limiting member 61, the outer wall of the connecting component 2, and the seal member, to cause the protruding portion 611 to abut against the sphere, so that the sphere engages with the ring clamping slot. In this case, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is in the locked state.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13, and FIG. 14, a second through hole 33 is provided on the suction nozzle assembly 3, and the operation switch 6 further includes a button 63 connecting an inner side and an outer side of the suction nozzle assembly 3 through the second through hole 33. The button 63 is connected to the limiting member 61; and the button 63 is configured to drive the limiting member 61 to move under external actuation. For example, by pressing the button 63, the limiting member 61 may be moved, to cause the sphere to detach from the ring clamping slot, so that the suction nozzle assembly 3 may be bounced by the first elastic member 5 (for example, the first elastic member 5 is a spring) away from the connecting component 2, to cause the suction nozzle assembly 3 to be in the unlocked state. That is, the suction nozzle assembly is in a removed state. When the suction nozzle assembly 3 needs to be assembled, the suction nozzle assembly 3 is first passed through the second through hole 33 on the button 63, then the button 63 is pressed, a position of the suction nozzle assembly 3 is adjusted, the extending portion 31 of the suction nozzle assembly 3 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 21 of the connecting component 2, and an edge of the suction nozzle assembly 3 is ensured to match the housing assembly 1. When the ring clamping slot on the extending portion 31 is engaged by the sphere, the button 63 is loosened, and the assembly of the suction nozzle assembly 3 is completed.

Further, a person of ordinary skill in the art may make improvements or modifications according to the foregoing descriptions.
