一种电子烟部件An electronic cigarette component

技术领域technical field

本揭露大体上涉及一种电子烟部件内的固定构件，具体而言涉及一种用于提供可吸入气雾(aerosol)的电子烟的电子烟部件内的固定构件。The present disclosure generally relates to a securing member in an electronic cigarette component, and more particularly, to a securing member in an electronic cigarette component for providing an electronic cigarette that is inhalable aerosol.

背景技术Background technique

电子烟系一种电子产品，其将可挥发性溶液加热雾化并产生气雾以供用户吸食。近年来，各大厂商开始生产各式各样的电子烟产品。一般而言，一电子烟产品包括外壳、储油室、雾化室、加热组件、进气口、气流通道、出气口、电源装置、感测装置及控制装置。储油室用于储存可挥发性溶液，加热组件用于将可挥发性溶液加热雾化并产生气雾。进气口与雾化室彼此连通，当使用者吸气时提供空气给加热组件。由加热组件产生之气雾首先产生于雾化室内，随后经由气流通道及出气口被使用者吸入。电源装置提供加热组件所需之电力，控制装置根据感测装置侦测到的用户吸气动作，控制加热组件的加热时间。外壳则包覆上述各个组件。An electronic cigarette is an electronic product that heats and atomizes a volatile solution and generates aerosol for users to smoke. In recent years, major manufacturers have begun to produce a variety of electronic cigarette products. Generally speaking, an electronic cigarette product includes a housing, an oil storage chamber, an atomizing chamber, a heating element, an air inlet, an air passage, an air outlet, a power supply device, a sensing device and a control device. The oil storage chamber is used to store the volatile solution, and the heating component is used to heat and atomize the volatile solution and generate aerosol. The air inlet and the atomizing chamber communicate with each other and provide air to the heating assembly when the user inhales. The aerosol generated by the heating element is first generated in the atomizing chamber, and then inhaled by the user through the airflow channel and the air outlet. The power supply device provides the power required by the heating element, and the control device controls the heating time of the heating element according to the user's inhalation action detected by the sensing device. The casing covers the above components.

现有的电子烟产品存在不同的缺陷。举例言之，若有需要将前述例如电源装置、感测装置及控制装置等组件形成的结构模块固定于外壳中之特定位置时，通常利用黏着剂黏着固定于外壳中的预定位置，或是利用在外壳上打出一个以上的穿孔，并以柱销件插入穿过外壳上的穿孔，而接合或插入欲固定之内部组件的相应位置上，而实现将内部组件固定于外壳中之预定位置的目的，并且使得所欲固定的内部组件经固定后不会相对于外壳在任何使用状态下产生移动。然而，现行的固定方式之缺陷在于若利用黏着剂的固定方式，则可能因为黏着工序的不当进行导致欲固定组件的固定位置难以精准统一或是容易产生溢胶的问题。另外，利用黏着剂的固定方式亦有可能在电子烟经过长时间的使用后，黏着剂的因为电子烟使用温度的关系导致变质，而影响固着效果。Existing vaping products have different flaws. For example, if it is necessary to fix the structural module formed by the aforementioned components such as the power supply device, the sensing device, and the control device to a specific position in the casing, it is usually fixed at the predetermined position in the casing by using an adhesive, or using an adhesive. Punch more than one perforation on the outer shell, and insert a pin through the perforation on the outer shell to engage or insert into the corresponding position of the internal component to be fixed, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the internal component in the predetermined position in the shell , and the internal components to be fixed will not move relative to the shell in any state of use after being fixed. However, the disadvantage of the current fixing method is that if the fixing method using the adhesive is used, the fixing position of the component to be fixed may be difficult to be accurately unified or the problem of glue overflow may occur due to the improper execution of the bonding process. In addition, the fixing method using the adhesive may also deteriorate after the electronic cigarette is used for a long time due to the temperature of the electronic cigarette, which will affect the fixing effect.

至于利用在电子烟之外壳上打出一个以上的穿孔，并插入柱销件将内部组件固定于外壳上之方式，则因为必须增加对外壳钻孔，并且插入柱销件以供固定之工序。此种工序将增加产品制造的时间。另外，因为电子烟之外壳较为轻薄的关系，钻孔的难度较高，容易对外壳造成破坏而降低良率，并且此种固定方式对于柱销件与孔洞之间的密合精度亦有要求，而导致制造成本的上升。As for the method of punching more than one perforation on the outer casing of the electronic cigarette and inserting a pin member to fix the internal components on the outer casing, it is necessary to increase the process of drilling holes in the outer casing and inserting the pin member for fixing. Such a process will increase the time to manufacture the product. In addition, because the casing of the electronic cigarette is relatively light and thin, it is difficult to drill holes, which is easy to damage the casing and reduce the yield, and this fixing method also has requirements for the tightness between the pin and the hole. resulting in an increase in manufacturing costs.

鉴于上述问题，本申请提出一种用于快速固定电子烟之内部组件或结构模块的固定构件。In view of the above problems, the present application proposes a fixing member for quickly fixing internal components or structural modules of an electronic cigarette.

由图2A及图2B可知，组装好的结构模块4沿着主体3之外壳31的纵向方向插入外壳31的中空空间32中，直到充电组件464位于外壳31底端之开口33之可供用户进行充电作业之位置。此时，结构模块4位于外壳31中之预定组装位置，而如图2B所示，位于结构模块支架之凹槽413之密封组件43之外侧接触形成外壳31之中空空间32之内壁34。2A and 2B, the assembledstructural module 4 is inserted into thehollow space 32 of thecasing 31 along the longitudinal direction of thecasing 31 of themain body 3 until thecharging component 464 is located in theopening 33 at the bottom end of thecasing 31 for the user to perform. The location of the charging operation. At this time, thestructural module 4 is located at the predetermined assembly position in thecasing 31 , and as shown in FIG.

固定构件5则在结构模块4插入外壳31中并置于上述预定组装位置后，沿着主体 3之外壳31的纵向方向插入外壳31的中空空间32中，直至固定构件5最终位于结构模块支架41之上方之环状壁411与外壳31之内壁34之间，并且抵顶环状壁411与内壁34之间，而将结构模块4固定于预定组装位置上。The fixingmember 5 is inserted into thehollow space 32 of theouter casing 31 along the longitudinal direction of theouter casing 31 of themain body 3 after thestructural module 4 is inserted into thecasing 31 and placed in the above-mentioned predetermined assembly position, until the fixingmember 5 is finally located in thestructural module bracket 41 The upperannular wall 411 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 are positioned between theannular wall 411 and theinner wall 34, and thestructural module 4 is fixed at the predetermined assembly position.

图4显示结构模块4位于外壳31中之预定组装位置时的部分放大截面图。由图4 可见，当结构模块4位于预定位置时，密封组件43之外侧接触主体3之外壳31之内壁 34，而在纵向方向分隔中空空间32。密封组件43可为天然橡胶或人造橡胶所制，用以在结构模块支架41的沟槽413及主体3之外壳31之内壁34之间提供密封。此外，结构模块支架41之顶端之环状壁411的周围表面，与外壳31之内壁34之间形成截面大致呈现矩形的一间隙g。由图4可知，间隙g沿着环状壁411或内壁34之周围方向延伸，且较佳延伸形成一环状间隙。环状壁411的下方径向向外延伸以形成一止挡部4111，止挡部4111与环状壁411形成一阶梯状结构，而在止挡部4111上形成一止挡表面S。FIG. 4 shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of thestructural module 4 in a predetermined assembly position in thehousing 31 . 4, when thestructural module 4 is located at a predetermined position, the outer side of the sealingmember 43 contacts theinner wall 34 of theouter shell 31 of themain body 3, and divides thehollow space 32 in the longitudinal direction. The sealingmember 43 can be made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber to provide sealing between thegroove 413 of thestructural module bracket 41 and theinner wall 34 of theouter shell 31 of themain body 3 . In addition, the peripheral surface of theannular wall 411 at the top end of thestructural module bracket 41 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 form a gap g with a substantially rectangular cross-section. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the gap g extends along the circumferential direction of theannular wall 411 or theinner wall 34 , and preferably extends to form an annular gap. The bottom of theannular wall 411 extends radially outward to form astopper portion 4111 , thestopper portion 4111 and theannular wall 411 form a stepped structure, and a stopper surface S is formed on thestopper portion 4111 .

图5显示固定构件5沿着外壳31的纵向方向插入间隙g，以将结构模块4固定于预定位置之部分放大截面图。由图5可知，固定构件5组装连接至结构模块4之顶端之环状壁411上，而填充环状壁411与外壳31之内壁34之间隙g，并且利用固定构件5 之内侧表面51及外侧表面52各者之全部或部分以分别接触抵顶环状壁411的外表面及外壳31的内壁34，藉此将结构模块4固定于预定位置上，而使得在例如用户将充电插头插入充电组件464时以进行充电或在其他使用状态下，组装完成后的结构模块4与外壳31之间，不会产生相互的滑动或移动而导致结构模块4离开预定的固定位置。5 shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the fixingmember 5 inserted into the gap g along the longitudinal direction of thehousing 31 to fix thestructural module 4 at a predetermined position. As can be seen from FIG. 5 , the fixingmember 5 is assembled and connected to theannular wall 411 at the top of thestructural module 4 to fill the gap g between theannular wall 411 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 , and theinner surface 51 and the outer surface of the fixingmember 5 are used. All or part of each of thesurfaces 52 are in contact with the outer surface of the abutmentannular wall 411 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31, respectively, thereby fixing thestructural module 4 in a predetermined position, so that, for example, when a user inserts a charging plug into the charging assembly When charging at 464 hours or in other states of use, there is no mutual sliding or movement between the assembledstructural module 4 and thehousing 31 to cause thestructural module 4 to leave the predetermined fixed position.

又，由于结构模块支架4的环状壁411的下方具有止挡部4111，当固定构件5沿纵向方向在外壳31的中空空间32向下进入间隙g时，除了分别抵顶于环状壁411的外表面及外壳31的内壁34之外，固定构件5的下表面53最终将抵顶于止挡部4111的止挡表面S，而到达图5所示一停驻位置。藉由固定构件5的下表面53抵顶于止挡部4111 的止挡表面S之结构，当用户从主体3之下方将充电插头插入结构模块4之充电组件 464时，固定构件5之下表面53将可帮助承受来自止挡部4111的向上力量，而进一步防止结构模块4在外壳31的内壁34上滑动而离开预定的固定位置的状况发生。In addition, since there is astopper 4111 under theannular wall 411 of thestructural module bracket 4, when the fixingmember 5 enters the gap g downward in thehollow space 32 of thehousing 31 in the longitudinal direction, it will not only abut against theannular wall 411, respectively. In addition to the outer surface of thehousing 31 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 , thelower surface 53 of the fixingmember 5 will eventually abut against the stop surface S of thestop portion 4111 to reach a parking position shown in FIG. 5 . With the structure in which thelower surface 53 of the fixingmember 5 abuts against the stopping surface S of thestopper portion 4111 , when the user inserts the charging plug into the chargingassembly 464 of thestructural module 4 from below themain body 3 , the lower surface of the fixingmember 5 will 53 will help to withstand the upward force from thestopper 4111, and further prevent the situation that thestructural module 4 slides on theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 and leaves the predetermined fixed position.

图6显示了根据本揭露之一实施例之固定构件5。如图6所示，固定构件5具有对应于内壁34或间隙g的轮廓或形状的一环状结构，以便能够插入外壳31之内壁34及结构模块支架41之环状壁411之间而固定结构模块4。在其他实施例中，固定构件5 亦可呈现具有对应具有对应于内壁34或间隙g的轮廓或形状的一弧状结构，而非封闭式的环状结构。图6所揭示的固定构件5，具有内侧表面51、外侧表面52、下表面53 及上表面54。另外，固定构件5之上方部分可具有至少一个或是复数个耳片部分55(在图6中，固定构件5具有四个耳片部分55)，其径向向内弯折一角度A(见图7)，且耳片部分55之两侧具有垂直空隙56。另外，每个耳片部分55上亦可具有一凸部551。径向向内弯折的耳片部分55及其两侧之空隙56，使得耳片部分55具有挠性，而能够朝径向向外方向反折。在图6中，空隙56的底部界定了固定构件5的上方部分与下方部分的分界，且下方部分呈现了一环状结构。固定构件5可由金属制成，例如铝合金、不锈钢或铜等材料制成，亦可使用塑料制成，本揭露并不限定固定结构5之材料，只要所使用的材料使得耳片部分55具有挠性即可。FIG. 6 shows a fixingmember 5 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6 , the fixingmember 5 has an annular structure corresponding to the contour or shape of theinner wall 34 or the gap g, so as to be able to be inserted between theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 and theannular wall 411 of thestructural module bracket 41 to fix thestructure Module 4. In other embodiments, the fixingmember 5 may also have an arc-shaped structure having a contour or shape corresponding to theinner wall 34 or the gap g, rather than a closed annular structure. The fixingmember 5 shown in FIG. 6 has aninner surface 51 , anouter surface 52 , alower surface 53 and anupper surface 54 . In addition, the upper portion of the fixingmember 5 may have at least one or a plurality of tab portions 55 (in FIG. 6, the fixingmember 5 has four tab portions 55), which are bent radially inward by an angle A (see FIG. 7 ), and there arevertical gaps 56 on both sides of thetab portion 55 . In addition, eachear portion 55 may also have aconvex portion 551 . Thetab portion 55 bent radially inward and thegaps 56 on both sides thereof make thetab portion 55 flexible and can be folded radially outward. In FIG. 6 , the bottom of thegap 56 defines the boundary between the upper part and the lower part of the fixingmember 5 , and the lower part presents an annular structure. The fixingmember 5 can be made of metal, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel or copper, etc., and can also be made of plastic. The present disclosure does not limit the material of the fixingstructure 5, as long as the used material makes theear portion 55 flexible. Sex can be.

图7显示固定构件5开始进入内壁34与结构模块支架41之环状壁411之间的间隙 g中的截面图。图8显示固定构件5进入间隙g并到达抵顶于环状壁411之止挡部4111 之止挡表面S之最终位置时，固定构件5与外壳31及结构模块41的相关位置的部分截面图。由图7及图8可知，在制造电子烟时，当将结构模块4插入外壳31之中空空间 34并且置于预定的组装位置后，固定结构5随后将沿着纵向方向插入外壳31之中空空间34，使固定构件5之环状下方部分开始进入间隙g中。图7展示了固定构件5之环状下方部分进入间隙g的情况，此时固定构件5径向向内弯折的耳片55尚未接触到环状壁411之顶端周缘，因此并未被环状壁411之顶端周缘抵顶而径向向外反折。随着固定构件5继续沿着纵向方向往下推移，结构模块支架41之环状壁411的顶端周缘及周围外表面开始抵顶接触固定构件5之上方部分，并且固定构件5之径向向内弯折之耳片 55开始被环状壁411的顶端周缘及周围外表面径向向外抵顶反折，直到固定构件5之下表面53被止挡于止挡部4111之表面S，而到达最终位置。此时，固定构件5完全进入间隙g中，且耳片55受到环状壁411之抵顶而完全反折成位于间隙g中的大致垂直型态，并且固定构件5的内侧表面51接触抵顶环状壁411之外表面，固定构件5的耳片55之凸部551受到外壳31之内壁34之挤压而变形，因此固定构件5的凸部551接触抵顶外壳315之内壁34。由于耳片55具有挠性，将夹紧环状壁411之外表面，又由于耳片55的凸部551经变形以对内壁34产生挤压的力量，藉此固定构件5可将结构模块 4之位置牢牢固定，防止结构模块4与外壳31产生相对移动或滑动而离开正确之预定组装位置。在图7及图8所示的实施例中，可知固定构件5之径向厚度略小于间隙g之宽度，然藉由凸部551结构之挤压形变，使得固定构件5之内侧表面之一部分抵顶触抵顶环状壁411之外表面，而固定构件5之外侧表面之一部分(在图8中即为产生形变之凸部551之表面部分)接触抵顶外壳31之内壁34，从而将结构模块4之位置牢牢固定。然而，在其他的实施例中，固定构件5的径向厚度可设定为等于间隙g之宽度，使得固定构件5插入间隙g且凸部551经形变后，固定构件5之内侧表面51之全部完全抵顶触抵顶环状壁411之外表面，而固定构件5之外侧表面52之全部亦完全接触抵顶外壳 31之内壁34，从而将结构模块4之位置牢牢固定。FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the start of the securingmember 5 entering the gap g between theinner wall 34 and theannular wall 411 of thestructural module bracket 41 . 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the relative positions of the fixingmember 5 and thehousing 31 and thestructural module 41 when the fixingmember 5 enters the gap g and reaches the final position abutting against the stop surface S of thestop portion 4111 of theannular wall 411 . It can be seen from FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 that when the electronic cigarette is manufactured, when thestructural module 4 is inserted into thehollow space 34 of thecasing 31 and placed in a predetermined assembly position, the fixingstructure 5 will then be inserted into the hollow space of thecasing 31 along the longitudinal direction. 34. The annular lower portion of the fixingmember 5 begins to enter the gap g. 7 shows the situation where the annular lower part of the fixingmember 5 enters the gap g, at this time, theear piece 55 bent radially inward of the fixingmember 5 has not yet contacted the top peripheral edge of theannular wall 411, so it is not surrounded by the annular The peripheral edge of the top end of thewall 411 abuts against and is folded radially outward. As the fixingmember 5 continues to move down in the longitudinal direction, the top peripheral edge and the surrounding outer surface of theannular wall 411 of thestructural module bracket 41 begin to abut against the upper portion of the fixingmember 5, and the radially inward portion of the fixingmember 5 Thebent ear piece 55 begins to be pushed and folded radially outward by the top peripheral edge and the peripheral outer surface of theannular wall 411 until thelower surface 53 of the fixingmember 5 is stopped by the surface S of thestopper portion 4111 and reaches final position. At this time, the fixingmember 5 completely enters the gap g, and theear piece 55 is completely folded back into a substantially vertical shape located in the gap g by the abutment of theannular wall 411 , and theinner surface 51 of the fixingmember 5 contacts the abutment. On the outer surface of theannular wall 411 , theprotrusions 551 of thelugs 55 of the fixingmember 5 are pressed and deformed by theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 . Due to the flexibility of theear piece 55, it will clamp the outer surface of theannular wall 411, and because theprotrusion 551 of theear piece 55 is deformed to produce a pressing force on theinner wall 34, the fixingmember 5 can fix thestructural module 4 The position is firmly fixed to prevent thestructural module 4 and thehousing 31 from moving or sliding relative to each other and leaving the correct predetermined assembly position. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , it can be seen that the radial thickness of the fixingmember 5 is slightly smaller than the width of the gap g. However, due to the extrusion deformation of the structure of theconvex portion 551 , a part of the inner surface of the fixingmember 5 abuts against Abutting against the outer surface of theannular wall 411, and a portion of the outer surface of the fixing member 5 (in FIG. 8, the surface portion of the deformed convex portion 551) contacts theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31, so that the structure The position ofmodule 4 is firmly fixed. However, in other embodiments, the radial thickness of the fixingmember 5 may be set equal to the width of the gap g, so that after the fixingmember 5 is inserted into the gap g and theprotrusion 551 is deformed, the entireinner surface 51 of the fixingmember 5 is completely The outer surface of the ring-shapedwall 411 is completely abutted against, and the entireouter surface 52 of the fixingmember 5 is also completely abutted against theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 , so that the position of thestructural module 4 is firmly fixed.

图9显示外壳31的内壁34与结构模块4之环状壁411之间的间隙g的结构尺寸。图10则为图6所示之固定结构5之部分放大图，用以显示其结构尺寸。如图9所示，间隙g具有一宽度W1及一深度D1，宽度W1与固定构件5之厚度相配合，使得固定构件5之内侧表面51之全部或部分接触并抵顶结构模块4之环状壁411的外周面，而外侧表面52的全部或部分接触并抵顶于外壳31的内壁34。例如，可藉由干涉配合或紧配的方式可使固定构件5紧密地卡置于间隙g中，进而使结构模块4紧密地固定于外壳31之中空空间32中的预定位置上。FIG. 9 shows the structural dimension of the gap g between theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 and theannular wall 411 of thestructural module 4 . FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of a part of the fixingstructure 5 shown in FIG. 6 , which is used to show its structural dimensions. As shown in FIG. 9 , the gap g has a width W1 and a depth D1, and the width W1 matches the thickness of the fixingmember 5 so that all or part of theinner surface 51 of the fixingmember 5 contacts and abuts against the annular shape of thestructural module 4 The outer peripheral surface of thewall 411 and all or part of theouter surface 52 are in contact with and abut against theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31 . For example, the fixingmember 5 can be tightly clamped in the gap g by means of interference fit or tight fit, so that thestructural module 4 is tightly fixed at a predetermined position in thehollow space 32 of thehousing 31 .

间隙g之宽度W1之尺寸可介于0.3mm至1.0mm之间，较佳可介于0.4mm至0.6mm 之间，而其深度D1可藉于1mm至10mm之间，较佳为3mm至5mm之间。又如图10 所示，固定构件5之整体高度H1约可藉于2mm至5mm，较佳为2.5mm至3.5mm之间，空隙56的宽度W2可藉于0.1mm至0.6mm之间，较佳为0.3mm至0.5mm之间，空隙56之深度介于固定构件5之高度H1的1/2至3/4之间。呈现圆顶状之凸部551底部之直径较佳可为0.9mm，而凸部551较佳突出于固定构件5之外侧表面52约0.2mm之高度。此外，凸部55之底部之最上缘距离耳片55之顶缘之距离D3约可为0.3mm。The size of the width W1 of the gap g may be between 0.3mm and 1.0mm, preferably between 0.4mm and 0.6mm, and the depth D1 of the gap g may be between 1mm and 10mm, preferably between 3mm and 5mm. between. Also as shown in FIG. 10 , the overall height H1 of the fixingmember 5 may be between 2mm and 5mm, preferably between 2.5mm and 3.5mm, and the width W2 of thegap 56 may be between 0.1mm and 0.6mm. Preferably, it is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm, and the depth of thegap 56 is between 1/2 and 3/4 of the height H1 of the fixingmember 5 . The diameter of the bottom of the dome-shapedconvex portion 551 is preferably 0.9 mm, and theconvex portion 551 preferably protrudes from theouter surface 52 of the fixingmember 5 by a height of about 0.2 mm. In addition, the distance D3 between the uppermost edge of the bottom of theconvex portion 55 and the top edge of thelug 55 may be about 0.3 mm.

固定构件5并不限于图6所示之型态。图11A、11B及11C显示其他实施例的固定构件型态。在图11A中，固定构件5'之结构型态基本上与图6所示之固定构件5相同，惟其环状体上具有断开一间隔g1，使得固定构件5'并不会呈现封闭的环状体。间隔g1 的尺寸大小必须能使固定构件5'达到将结构模块4固定于外壳31之中空空间32中之目的。图11A所示的固定结构5'能够直接将原材料以冲压模式制成，具有零件制造快速且节省成本之优势。The fixingmember 5 is not limited to the type shown in FIG. 6 . 11A, 11B and 11C show other embodiments of the fixing member types. In FIG. 11A , the structure of the fixingmember 5 ′ is basically the same as that of the fixingmember 5 shown in FIG. 6 , but the annular body has a gap g1, so that the fixingmember 5 ′ does not present a closed loop body. The size of the gap g1 must enable the fixingmember 5 ′ to achieve the purpose of fixing thestructural module 4 in thehollow space 32 of thehousing 31 . The fixingstructure 5 ′ shown in FIG. 11A can be directly made of raw materials in a stamping mode, which has the advantages of fast and cost-saving parts manufacturing.

图11B所示之固定构件5”与图6所示之固定构件5之差异在于耳片55”并未径向向内弯折一角度。然而，图11B所示之固定构件5”仍然具有凸部551"，且固定构件5"之其余尺寸特征，皆可与图6所示之固定构件5相同，因此固定构件5"之内侧表面及外侧表面仍可分别接触并抵顶结构模块4之环状壁411的外周面与外壳31的内壁34，而使固定构件5"紧密地卡置于间隙g中，进而使结构模块4可固定于外壳31之中空空间32 中的预定位置上。The difference between the fixingmember 5" shown in Fig. 11B and the fixingmember 5 shown in Fig. 6 is that thetabs 55" are not bent radially inward at an angle. However, the fixingmember 5 ″ shown in FIG. 11B still has aconvex portion 551 ″, and the remaining dimensions of the fixingmember 5 ″ can be the same as the fixingmember 5 shown in FIG. 6 , so the inner surface of the fixingmember 5 ″ and The outer surface can still contact and abut against the outer peripheral surface of theannular wall 411 of thestructural module 4 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31, respectively, so that the fixingmember 5″ is tightly clamped in the gap g, so that thestructural module 4 can be fixed in the gap g. At a predetermined position in thehollow space 32 in thehousing 31 .

图11C所示之固定构件5”'与图6所示之固定构件5之差异在于耳片55”'并未径向向内弯折一角度，且耳片55”'亦未具有凸部结构。因此，固定构件5"'之径向厚度系设置成与间隙g之宽度W1基本相同(例如藉由紧配的尺寸设置方式)，而固定构件5的其余尺寸特征，皆可与图6所示之固定构件5相同，因此固定构件5"'之内侧表面及外侧表面仍可分别紧密地接触并抵顶结构模块4之环状壁411的外周面与外壳31的内壁34，而使固定构件5"紧密地卡置于间隙g中，进而使结构模块4可固定于外壳31之中空空间32中的预定位置上。The difference between the fixingmember 5"' shown in Fig. 11C and the fixingmember 5 shown in Fig. 6 is that theear piece 55"' is not bent radially inward at an angle, and theear piece 55"' also does not have a convex structure Therefore, the radial thickness of the fixingmember 5"' is set to be substantially the same as the width W1 of the gap g (for example, by means of the size setting method of tight fitting), and the remaining dimensional characteristics of the fixingmember 5 can be the same as those shown in FIG. 6 . The fixingmember 5 shown is the same, so the inner and outer surfaces of the fixingmember 5"' can still be in close contact with and abut against the outer peripheral surface of theannular wall 411 of thestructural module 4 and theinner wall 34 of thehousing 31, respectively, so that the fixingmember 5″ is tightly clamped in the gap g, so that thestructural module 4 can be fixed at a predetermined position in thehollow space 32 of thehousing 31 .

应注意，固定构件之高度可使得当固定构件被插入至外壳31之中空空间32之间隙g中的最终位置时，固定构件之上表面与结构模块4的环状壁411的上表面齐平或共面。然而，在不影响固定构件之固定作用的条件下，固定构件之高度亦可使其在位于最终位置时，固定构件之上表面高于或低于结构模块4的环状壁411的上表面。It should be noted that the height of the fixing member may be such that when the fixing member is inserted into the final position in the gap g of thehollow space 32 in thehousing 31, the upper surface of the fixing member is flush with the upper surface of theannular wall 411 of thestructural module 4 or coplanar. However, without affecting the fixing function of the fixing member, the height of the fixing member can also be such that the upper surface of the fixing member is higher or lower than the upper surface of theannular wall 411 of thestructural module 4 when it is in the final position.

本揭露图12显示依据本揭露另一实施例之主体3之外壳31之结构。由图12可知，主体3之外壳31之内侧壁34形成至少一凹槽35，凹槽35于内侧壁34上形成之位置，对应于当固定结构5插入间隙g并且接触抵顶结构模块支架41之环状避411之止檔部表面S时，固定结构5之耳片55之凸部551之位置，以使得凸部551的至少一部分进入凹槽35中，以进一步将结构模块4固定于外壳31之中空空间32中的预定位置上。替代地，凹槽35可为沿着外壳31之内壁34之周围方向延伸的环形凹槽，以容纳固定件5之凸部551的至少一部分，进而固定结构模块4。凹槽35之凹陷深度较佳不超过外壳31之厚度的二分之一。FIG. 12 of the present disclosure shows the structure of thecasing 31 of themain body 3 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen from FIG. 12 , at least onegroove 35 is formed on theinner side wall 34 of theouter shell 31 of themain body 3 , and the position of thegroove 35 formed on theinner side wall 34 corresponds to when the fixingstructure 5 is inserted into the gap g and contacts the abutmentstructure module bracket 41 . When the surface S of thestop portion 411 of the ring-shaped avoidance is formed, the position of theconvex portion 551 of theear piece 55 of thestructure 5 is fixed, so that at least a part of theconvex portion 551 enters thegroove 35 to further fix thestructural module 4 to the casing. 31 at a predetermined position in thehollow space 32 .
