Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a terminal adaptor connectable to a battery, a battery assembly and a kit of parts each comprising the terminal adaptor and the battery, and an aerosol generating apparatus.
  • a typical aerosol generating apparatus may comprise a power supply such as a battery, an aerosol generating unit that is driven by the power supply, an aerosol precursor, which in use is aerosolised by the aerosol generating unit to generate an aerosol, and a delivery system for delivery of the aerosol to a user.
  • the aerosol generating apparatus may comprise a battery chamber for receiving and electrically connecting to the battery.
  • the battery may comprise a positive battery terminal and a negative battery terminal both located on the same end face of the battery.
  • a drawback with known aerosol generating apparatuses having batteries of this kind is the need for precise rotational alignment of the battery terminals inside the battery chamber so that electric connection can be established between the battery terminals and electric contacts provided inside the battery chamber. This can complicate battery insertion into the aerosol generating apparatus, thereby hindering manufacturability and/or user experience of the aerosol generating apparatus.
  • a further drawback of using a battery with both battery terminals located on the same end face is the risk of an electrical short circuit when disposing of the battery.
  • a flat piece of electric conductor such as metal can easily short circuit the electrodes of the battery and lead to battery fire during disposal.
  • a terminal adaptor connectable to a battery, the battery comprising a positive battery terminal and a negative battery terminal each located on a first end face of the battery, wherein the terminal adaptor comprises:
  • terminal face opposite the abutment face, the terminal face comprising a positive terminal region and a negative terminal region electrically insulated from the positive terminal region, the positive terminal region being electrically connectable to the positive battery terminal and the negative terminal region being electrically connectable to the negative battery terminal;
  • an insulating element interposed between the positive terminal region and the negative terminal region to electrically insulate the positive terminal region from the negative terminal region.
  • the insulating element abuts and upstands from the terminal face.
  • the insulating element i.e. an electrically insulating element
  • the insulating element can ensure that a planar contact (e.g. a planar electric conductor) cannot simultaneously contact both the positive terminal region and the negative terminal region, thereby reducing a risk of electrical short circuit, e.g. after disposal of the battery.
  • the insulating element has a mounting face which rests against i.e. abut the terminal face of the insulating element.
  • the insulating element may upstand from the terminal face by at least 0.5mm, or at least 0.75mm, or at least 1mm, or at least 1.25mm, or at least 1.5mm such as around 1.5mm.
  • the insulating element may be formed of a substantially rigid material. In this way, the insulating element can resist compressive forces applied thereto to ensure that a planar contact cannot simultaneously contact both the positive terminal region and the negative terminal region even when pressed onto the insulating element, towards the terminal face.
  • the insulating element may be formed of a material having a compressive strength of at least 50 MPa, or at least 60 MPa, or at least 70 MPa, or at least 80 MPa such as around 80 MPa.
  • the compressive strength is the value of uniaxial compressive stress, ⁇ , at which the material fails.
  • the insulating element may be formed of a material having a maximum deformation of 10%or less, or 7%or less, or 5%or less, or 1%or less when subjected to compressive stress having a magnitude equal to or less than an absolute value of ⁇ .
  • the insulating element may be formed of plastic such as a thermoplastic polymer e.g. a polycarbonate (PC) .

  • the present disclosure provides a battery assembly comprising:
  • kits of parts comprising:
  • mounting the terminal adaptor on the first end face of the battery includes electrically connecting the positive terminal region of the terminal adaptor to the positive battery terminal and connecting the negative terminal region of the terminal adaptor to the negative battery terminal;
  • the battery assembly 200 can be mounted inside an aerosol generating apparatus 300 implemented according to any of the examples discussed above.
  • the aerosol generating apparatus 300 comprises a battery chamber 301 for receiving and electrically connecting to the battery assembly 200.
  • the battery chamber 301 comprises a pair of electric contacts 302 (comprising a positive electric contact 302a and a negative electric contact 302b) each connectable to a respective one of the positive terminal region 103 and the negative terminal region 104 on the terminal face 102 of the terminal adaptor 100.
  • the electric contacts 302 are both located at an upper axial end of the battery chamber 301, proximal the heating element 54 of the aerosol generating apparatus 300. Both electric contacts 302 are sprung electric contacts resiliently biased into the battery chamber 301.

Abstract

La présente divulgation concerne un adaptateur de borne pouvant être connecté à une batterie, la batterie comprenant une borne de batterie positive et une borne de batterie négative situées chacune sur une première face d'extrémité de la batterie. L'adaptateur de borne comprend : une face de butée configurée pour venir en butée contre la première face d'extrémité de la batterie lors de l'utilisation ; et une face de borne opposée à la face de butée, la face de borne comprenant une région de borne positive et une région de borne négative isolée électriquement de la région de borne positive. La région de borne positive peut être connectée électriquement à la borne de batterie positive et la région de borne négative peut être connectée électriquement à la borne de batterie négative. Un élément isolant est interposé entre la région de borne positive et la région de borne négative pour isoler électriquement la région de borne positive de la région de borne négative. L'élément isolant vient en butée contre la face de borne et s'élève à partir de celle-ci. La présente invention concerne également un ensemble batterie et un kit de pièces comprenant chacun l'adaptateur de borne et la batterie, et un appareil de génération d'aérosol.
