The cavity enclosed by the main body 1 and the bottom cover 23 is used to install electronic products, such as the aerosol generating device of this embodiment. The main body 1, the closure 2 and the cover lining 3 are three simple components. The connecting portion 103 is formed by bending the lower end 101 of the main body 1 inward to form a bottom support. The bottom cover 23 of the closure 2 is connected to the cover lining 3, thereby supporting the internal structure of the main body 1 to prevent deformation.

[0038] Please refer again Figure 2 and Figure 5 When the main body 1 is unfolded from the gap 102, it includes: a main body 11, an inner folding edge 12 connected to the lower edge of the main body 11, the inner folding edge 12 is bent inward to form the connecting portion 103, and the main body 11 is provided with a plurality of longitudinally parallel groove fold lines, the groove fold lines divide the main body into a plurality of side parts, one of which is also provided with an opening 111. At this time, when the main body 1 is enclosed into a three-dimensional body, it is a regular prism.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the groove fold line includes: a first groove fold line 15, a second groove fold line 16, a third groove fold line 17 and a fourth groove fold line 18, and the first groove fold line 15, the second groove fold line 16, the third groove fold line 17 and the fourth groove fold line 18 divide the main body 11 into a first side surface 113, a second side surface 114, a third side surface 115, a fourth side surface 116 and a fifth side surface 117 in sequence, wherein the upper ends of the second side surface 114 and the fourth side surface 116 are both provided with a notch 13 and 14, and the sum of the transverse widths of the first side surface 113 and the fifth side surface 117 is equal to the transverse width of the third side surface 115. The second side surface 114 and the fourth side surface 116 are of equal width, and the sum of the transverse widths of the first side surface 113 and the fifth side surface 117 is equal to the transverse width of the third side surface 115, so that the cross section of the main body 1 is rectangular, and when enclosed into a three-dimensional shape, a rectangular parallelepiped is formed. In other embodiments, the number of groove fold lines can be set as needed to form a main body with different sides. Setting groove fold lines is conducive to standardized scale production and processing, and a regular prism-shaped shell main body can be formed by simply enclosing. In other embodiments, the main body 1 can be of any shape.

[0040] Please refer again Figure 3 and Figure 6 The closure member 2 comprises: the bottom cover portion 23, the bending portion 22 connected to the bottom cover portion 23, and the seam portion 21 connected to the bending portion 22, wherein a first fold line 24 is provided at the connection between the bottom cover portion 23 and the bending portion 22, and a second fold line 25 is provided on the bending portion 22 near the seam portion 21. A round hole 231 is also provided on the bottom cover portion 23. The closure member 2 is an integrated structure, part of which is connected to the gap 102 of the main body 1, and part of which is bent and connected to the lower end portion 101 of the main body 1, which not only simplifies production, but also has an integrated structure, making it more reliable.

[0041] Please refer again Figure 4 The cover liner 3 comprises: a liner body 31 having the same cross-sectional shape as the cavity and a through hole 32 provided on the liner body 31, and the through hole 23 corresponds to the circular hole 231. The shape of the cover body 31 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the cavity, so that the side wall of the main body is supported from the inner wall of the cavity, making its shape more stable and not easy to deform.

[0042] In this embodiment, the main body 1, the cover lining 3 and the closure member 2 are all made of leather.

[0043] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for manufacturing an outer kit of an aerosol generating device, comprising the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Cut the leather into a flat shape to form the main body and the closure in the unfolded state. Specifically, use a knife die to cut it into the following shapes: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The flat leather shape shown;

[0045] Step 2: Imprint several longitudinal groove fold lines on the unfolded body, such as Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the groove fold line is processed by hot pressing, such as Figure 5 As shown, the hot pressed groove fold lines include 15, 16, 17, 18; in addition, as Figure 6 As mentioned above, the closure member 2 is also hot-pressed with a first fold line 24 and a second fold line 25 , so as to facilitate bonding the closure member 2 to the main body 1 .

[0046] Step 3, enclosing the unfolded main body with the groove fold line embossed thereon along the groove fold line to form a main body, and forming a longitudinal gap on the main body;

[0047] Step 4: Connect the seam portion 21 of the closure member 2 to the gap; Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the seam portion 21 is partially bonded to the first side portion 113 and partially bonded to the fifth side portion 117. Of course, in other embodiments, the closure member 2 may be bonded to the fifth side portion 117 first, and then the planar main body 1 is enclosed into a three-dimensional shape along the groove fold line, and then the first side portion 113 is bonded to the seam portion 21.

[0048] Step 6: Connect the bottom cover 23 of the closure member 2 to the lower end 101 of the main body 1. The bottom cover 23 is connected to the bottom of the main body from the outside, thereby hiding the defects of the bottom bonding and making the whole more beautiful.

[0049] Among them, the step between step 4 and step 6 also includes: inserting the cover lining 3 from the upper end opening of the main body 1 downward into the bottom of the main body, such as Fig.10 As shown, the cover liner 3 is stopped by the connecting portion 103 and provides a supporting connection position.

[0050] The process of enclosing the unfolded body with the groove fold line printed thereon along the groove fold line to form a body and forming a longitudinal gap on the body also includes the step of bending the lower edge of the body inward to form a connecting portion. Because the body 1 is made of leather, the connecting portion 103 can be formed by bending and extruding the lower edge inward during processing.

[0051] Before the bottom cover 23 of the closure member 2 is connected to the bottom surface of the cover lining 3, the step of bending the bottom cover 23 of the closure member 2 along the bending portion 22 toward the seam portion 21 is also included. After bending, a hook is formed on the top of the bending portion 22, and the closure member 2 is partially attached to the side wall of the main body and partially attached to the cover lining 3, so the overall load-bearing capacity is relatively high and not easily damaged.

[0052] In this embodiment, the seam portion 21 is bonded to the main body 1 , and the bottom cover portion 23 is also bonded to the cover lining 3 .

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present embodiment provides an external kit of an aerosol generating device and a manufacturing method thereof, which uses a main body, a cover lining and a closure to jointly form a leather outer shell with a better supporting effect. At the same time, the main body, the cover lining and the closure can be processed in a standardized manner, thereby achieving the purpose of large-scale industrial mass production.

[0054] The above examples are only used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention, so that readers can understand it more easily, but they do not mean that the implementation of the present invention is limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made according to the present invention is protected by the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
