An aerosol generating device

Abstract

The present application discloses an aerosol generating device, which includes a main body and a housing. The main body is accommodated in the accommodation space of the housing and is used for atomizing an aerosol forming substrate to generate an aerosol. When an external force acts on the main body or the housing, the main body and the housing can move relative to each other. The main body includes a proximal end, a distal end disposed opposite to the proximal end, and a surface located between the proximal end and the distal end. The housing includes a first open end. When the main body and the housing move relative to each other, a relative displacement is generated between the proximal end of the main body and the first open end of the housing to form a spatial region, so as to start the aerosol generating device. In the present application, the relative movement of the main body or the housing under the action of an external force can trigger the self-start of the aerosol generating device. Thus, regardless of whether the aerosol generating device is provided with a mechanical power switch, the aerosol generating device can be triggered to start through the relative movement of the housing and the main body, thereby realizing the diversification of the device function implementation method and improving the user experience.

[0044] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific implementation manners.

[0045] The present application provides an aerosol generating device. Refer to Figure 1a and Figure 1b , Figure 1a and Figure 1b The structural schematic diagrams of the first embodiment of the aerosol generating device of the present application are respectively the structural schematic diagrams of the closed and open states of the aerosol generating device.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in 1a and Figure 1b , the aerosol generating device includes a main body 100 and a housing 200. Among them, the housing 200 has a receiving space (not shown in the figure), and the main body 100 is installed in this receiving space. When an external force acts on the main body 100 or the housing 200, the main body 100 and the housing 200 can move relative to each other.

[0047] The main body 100 is used to atomize the aerosol-forming substrate to generate aerosol. There is an air flow channel (not shown in the figure) inside the main body 100, and the air flow channel is used to circulate air and / or aerosol. In practical applications, the aerosol-forming substrate is stored inside the main body 100. When the main body 100 enters the normal working state, the main body 100 atomizes the aerosol-forming substrate to generate aerosol, and the generated aerosol is released to the outside through the air flow channel, or external air enters the air flow channel to carry the generated aerosol out of the outside for the user to use the aerosol.

[0048] The main body 100 includes a proximal end 101, a distal end 102 and a surface (not shown in the figure). The distal end 102 is disposed opposite to the proximal end 101, and the surface is located between the proximal end 101 and the distal end 102. In the closed state of the aerosol generating device, the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200 and is not visible. Those skilled in the art should understand that the proximal end 101 and the distal end 102 of the main body 100 in the present application are only used to represent the two ends of the main body 100, and are only relative, and do not limit the specific meanings of the "proximal end" and the "distal end".

[0049] The housing 200 includes a first open end 203 that does not cover the proximal end 101 of the body 100. When the body 100 or the housing 200 moves relative to each other under an external force, that is, the body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 under an external force, or the housing 200 moves relative to the body 100 under an external force, a relative displacement is generated between the proximal end 101 of the body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 to form a space region 303, triggering the activation of the aerosol generating device.

[0050] Specifically, the formation of the space region 303 between the proximal end 101 of the body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 to trigger the activation of the aerosol generating device may only trigger the power-on of the aerosol generating device, that is, the body 100 is powered on and enters the standby state. The aerosol generating device enters the normal working state only when triggered by a normal working signal in the standby state. At this time, the body 100 works normally to atomize the aerosol-forming substrate to generate aerosol.

[0051] For example, when the user operates the aerosol generating device to move the body 100 relative to the housing 200 and a space region 303 is formed between the proximal end 101 of the body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, the aerosol generating device is powered on. After the aerosol generating device is powered on, when the user performs other operations (such as sucking, blowing, etc.) on the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device enters the normal working state to atomize the aerosol-forming substrate to generate aerosol.

[0052] Alternatively, the formation of the space region 303 between the proximal end 101 of the body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 to trigger the activation of the aerosol generating device may be to trigger the power-on of the aerosol generating device and at the same time the aerosol generating device enters the normal working state, that is, triggering the power-on of the aerosol generating device is the aerosol generating device entering the normal working state.

[0053] For example, when the user operates the aerosol generating device to form a space region 303 between the proximal end 101 of the body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, the aerosol generating device is powered on. When the aerosol generating device is powered on, the user does not need to perform other operations on the aerosol generating device, and the aerosol generating device immediately atomizes the aerosol-forming substrate to generate aerosol. That is to say, the aerosol can be generated after the aerosol generating device is powered on.

[0054] In this application, when the main body 100 or the housing 200 is subjected to an external force and moves relative to each other, it can trigger the self-start of the aerosol generating device. As a result, the aerosol generating device can be equipped with a mechanical power switch or not. In the case where the aerosol generating device does not have a mechanical power switch, the relative movement between the main body 100 and the housing 200 can trigger the start. In the case where the aerosol generating device is equipped with a mechanical power switch, pressing the power switch or the relative movement between the housing and the main body 100 can trigger the start of the device, thus realizing the diversification of the device function implementation methods and improving the user experience. Moreover, in the case where the aerosol generating device does not have a mechanical power switch, it does not affect the consistency of the device appearance, simplifies the device structure, is conducive to reducing the device volume, and realizes the miniaturization of the device.

[0055] Preferably in this embodiment, the aerosol generating device does not have a mechanical switch on the housing 200, but an electronic switch element such as a MOS transistor, a triode or a relay is provided inside the aerosol generating device. Of course, a mechanical switch can also be provided inside the aerosol generating device.

[0056] In this embodiment, the surface of the main body 100 includes a first part 103; the first part 103 is connected to the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and is covered by the housing 200.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, an air vent 111 is provided on the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100, and the air vent 111 is communicated with the outlet of the air flow channel. The cross-sectional shape of the air vent 111 can be semi-circular, circular, elliptical or polygonal, etc.

[0058] The above-mentioned space region 303 forms the air outlet of the aerosol generating device, and the air vent 111 is communicated with the outside through this air outlet.

[0059] In one case, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other, the first part 103 exposes the first opening end 203, and the peripheral space between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 forms the above-mentioned space region 303, that is, the space region 303 can be the external space region in the device open state.

[0060] Specifically, as Figure 1b shown, when the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force, or the housing 200 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, so that the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 is exposed from the first opening end 203 of the housing 200, the space region 303 formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 of the housing 200 is the external space region around the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100.

[0061] In other cases not shown in the drawings, when the main body 100 and the shell 200 move relative to each other, the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 extends into the shell 200, and the height difference between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 forms the above-mentioned space area 303, that is, the space area 303 can be the internal space area of ​​the device in the open state.

[0062] Specifically, when the main body 100 moves relative to the shell 200 due to an external force, or the shell 200 moves relative to the main body 100 due to an external force, so that the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 extends into the shell 200 from the first opening end 203 of the shell 200, the space area 303 formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 of the shell 200 is an internal hollow area formed by the height difference between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 of the shell 200.

[0063] In this embodiment, the surface of the main body 100 further includes a second portion 104 , and the second portion 104 is connected to the distal end 102 of the main body 100 .

[0064] The first part 103 and the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 are arranged integrally or separately. When the main body 100 is subjected to external force, the first part 103 and the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 may be linked or not, that is, the first part 103 and the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 may make the same movement or different movements.

[0065] The housing 200 further includes a second open end 204, which does not cover the distal end 102 of the body 100. The first open end 203 and the second open end 204 are disposed opposite to each other and are respectively two ends of the housing 200. The first open end 203 and the second open end 204 are respectively engaged with the body 100.

[0066] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, the second portion 104 of the body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, that is, the housing 200 does not cover the second portion 104 of the body 100. The second open end 204 is connected to the second portion 104 of the body 100 and does not cover the second portion 104 of the body 100.

[0067] When the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other such that the above-mentioned spatial region 303 is formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, at least a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200. That is, after the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves under the action of an external force, all of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 may be exposed outside the housing 200, or a part of it may be exposed outside the housing 200 and the other part may extend into the housing 200, or all of it may extend into the housing 200.

[0068] For example, in the case where an external force presses on the distal end 102 of the main body 100, causing the main body 100 to move longitudinally in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200, if the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200 and then moves longitudinally in the direction of the second open end 204 of the housing 200 and returns to its original position, then all of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200 at this time; if the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200 and stops moving when a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 while the other part remains exposed outside the housing 200, then a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200 and the other part extends into the housing 200 at this time; if the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200 until all of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200, then all of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 at this time, that is, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other such that the spatial region 303 is formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, an air inlet of the aerosol generating device is formed between the second open end 204 of the housing 200 and the main body 100. Specifically, a gap is formed between the distal end 102 of the main body 100 or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 and the second open end 204 of the housing 200 to form the air inlet, and the inlet of the air flow channel is communicated with the outside through this air inlet.

[0070] In other specific embodiments of the deformation, through holes are provided on the housing 200. When the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 of the housing 200 form the above-mentioned space region 303, the space region 303 forms an air outlet, so that the outlet of the air flow channel is communicated with the outside through the air outlet, and the through hole is aligned with the inlet of the air flow channel to form an air inlet, and the air inlet is communicated with the inlet of the air flow channel, so that the inlet of the air flow channel is communicated with the outside through the air inlet, thereby enabling the air flow channel to be communicated with the outside.

[0071] Since the air flow channel is communicated with the outside through the space region 303 only when the aerosol generating device is in use, and in the closed state (unused state), that is, when the main body 100 or the housing 200 is not affected by an external force to generate a relative displacement with respect to the housing 200 to form the space region 303, the air flow channel is not communicated with the outside, so that when the aerosol generating device is in a static state, or during transportation, carrying, etc., it will not be affected by the internal and external air pressure difference, effectively avoiding problems such as leakage of the aerosol forming substrate of the aerosol generating device due to the influence of the internal and external air pressure difference.

[0072] Specifically, in a specific embodiment, as Figure 1a shown, the first opening end 203 of the housing 200 is a semi-open curved surface opening, such as an inclined surface opening, and the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is an inclined surface and is covered by the housing 200.

[0073] The external force acting on the main body 100 or the external force acting on the housing 200 includes external force rotation, pressing, etc. Taking the main body 100 being affected by an external force to move relative to the housing 200 as an example, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 or the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is affected by an external force and rotates by a certain angle, such as 180°, the main body 100 makes a circumferential movement in the housing 200. Specifically, the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 rotates and makes a circumferential movement in the housing 200, and generates a circumferential displacement toward the first opening end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 rotates to the opening position of the first opening end 203 of the housing 200. At this time, the ventilation part 111 on the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, thereby being communicated with the outside; at the same time, the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 also makes a circumferential movement, and the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is still exposed outside the housing 200, and the housing 200 does not cover the second part 104 of the surface, as Figure 1b shown.

[0074] In Figure 1a and Figure 1bIn another specific embodiment not shown, the first open end 203 of the housing 200 is a fully open lateral end face opening or a curved surface opening, and the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200.

[0075] Taking the movement of the main body 100 relative to the housing 200 under an external force as an example, in Figure 1b In the first case not shown, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is rotated by a certain angle, such as 180°, under an external force, the main body 100 makes a circumferential movement within the housing 200. Specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 rotates within the housing 200 to make a circumferential movement, and a longitudinal displacement is generated in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first open end 203. At this time, the ventilation portion 111 on the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, thereby communicating with the outside; at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 also makes a circumferential movement, and the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 remains exposed outside the housing 200, and the housing 200 does not cover the second portion 104 of the surface.

[0076] In Figure 1b In the second case not shown, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 makes a longitudinal movement within the housing 200. Specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 makes a longitudinal movement in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out from the first open end 203 of the housing 200, and the ventilation portion 111 is exposed outside the housing 200, thereby communicating with the outside; at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 makes a longitudinal movement in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that at least a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200, that is, the housing 200 covers at least a part of the second portion 104 of the surface. It can be that the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends entirely into the housing 200, and the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is just flush with the second open end 204 of the housing 200, or the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is also recessed into the housing 200, that is, a drop is formed between the distal end 102 of the main body 100 and the second open end 204 of the housing 200, or a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 remains exposed outside the housing 200, and another part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200; or, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 makes a reciprocating movement relative to the housing 200, that is, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 and then pops out of the housing 200 to return to its original position.

[0077] exist Figure 1b In the third case not shown, when the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the shell 200. Specifically, the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the shell 200 toward the second open end 204 of the shell 200, so that the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 extends from the first open end 203 of the shell 200 into the shell 200 to form an internal hollow area, and the vent 111 is connected to the outside world through the hollow area; or, the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 reciprocates relative to the shell 200 and then extends out of the first open end 203 of the shell 200, which is specifically similar to the first and second cases. The situation is the same as that in which the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first opening end 203 of the shell 200; at the same time, the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally toward the second opening end 204 of the shell 200 in the axial direction of the shell 200, so that the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the shell 200, or when the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally into the first opening end 203 of the shell 200 or reciprocates and extends out of the first opening end 203 of the shell 200, the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 is still in the original position, that is, in this case, the first portion 103 and the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 are not linked.

[0078] In this embodiment, the aerosol generating device is provided with an information display area, which is used to display one or more of the following information: identification information, aerosol forming substrate remaining information, environmental information, working status information, power information, and own parameter information. Among them, the aerosol forming substrate remaining information can be displayed transparently or displayed as data; the environmental information includes external environmental information and / or internal environmental information, the external environmental information includes external environmental temperature, humidity, etc., the internal environmental information includes the internal temperature of the equipment, the temperature of the components, etc., and the own parameter information includes the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the equipment, the resistance of the components, etc.

[0079] Information is displayed in the information display area so that the user can learn about the current status information when using the aerosol generating device, which helps the user to predict the usage status. For example, when the remaining amount of aerosol forming substrate is too little, the user can predict that an aerosol forming substrate can be added, or the container storing the aerosol forming substrate can be replaced, or the device can be stopped. When the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the device is too large, it may lead to a poor experience, so the user can choose to stop using it.

[0080] Specifically, at least one of the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 , the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 , and the housing 200 is provided with an information display area.

[0081] When the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force, or the housing 200 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, such that the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, information can be displayed through the information display area of the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100. In the case where the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is not covered by the housing 200, information can also be displayed through the information display area of the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100.

[0082] Whether the first part 103 and the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 are exposed or not, the housing 200 can display information through the information display area. The information display area of the housing 200 can be a partial area of the housing 200 or the entire area of the housing 200.

[0083] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the aerosol generating device of the present application further includes a position detection module 401.

[0084] When the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves, the position detection module 401 detects the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200, and obtains the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The position detection module 401 can detect the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 in real time, or can detect the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 when starting to move and stopping moving. The position detection module 401 stores the obtained current position information.

[0085] After the position detection module 401 obtains the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200, it compares the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 with the preset starting position information. If the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 does not match the preset starting position information, it is determined that the main body 100 or the housing 200 has not passed through the preset starting position during the movement, and thus an abnormal signal is fed back, so that the aerosol generating device does not start.

[0086] Specifically, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other, for example, when the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 such that a space region 303 is formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first opening end 203 of the housing 200, if the current position information of the main body 100 moving along the housing 200 does not match the preset starting position information, that is, the main body 100 has not passed through the preset starting position during the movement, at this time, the space region 303 formed by the relative movement of the main body 100 and the housing 200 is not the region formed after the main body 100 passes through the preset starting position during the movement, then the aerosol generating device does not start.

[0087] Thus, the main body 100 is caused to move relative to the housing 200 in a non-user-behavior situation. However, when the main body 100 stops moving and does not pass through a preset starting position, the aerosol generating device determines that this is a misoperation causing the main body 100 to move relative to the housing 200 without starting. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the aerosol generating device starting automatically due to misoperation in a non-user-behavior situation, and avoid problems such as resource waste and safety hazards caused by the device starting automatically due to misoperation.

[0088] On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the position detection module 401 detects that the position information during the movement of the main body 100 or the housing 200 matches the preset initial position information and the preset starting position information in sequence, it determines that the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, and feeds back a start signal to start the aerosol generating device. That is, during the movement of the main body 100 or the housing 200, after the position detection module 401 detects that the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 matches the preset initial position information, when the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 at a certain time after the main body 100 or the housing 200 continues to move matches the preset initial position information, it is determined that the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, and then it is determined that the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves under the action of a normal user behavior, thereby feeding back a start signal to start the aerosol generating device.

[0089] Specifically, taking the case where the main body 100 is moved relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force as an example, the position detection module 401 obtains the position information of the main body 100 during the movement of the main body 100, and compares the current position information of the main body 100 with the preset initial position information and the preset starting position information respectively. If the position information before the main body 100 matches the preset initial position information, it is determined that the main body 100 passes through the preset initial position at this time; if the current position information of the main body 100 matches the preset starting position information, it is determined that the main body 100 passes through the preset starting position at this time. Thus, if during the movement of the main body 100, the position detection module 401 first detects that the position information of the main body 100 matches the preset initial position information, and then detects that the position information of the main body 100 matches the preset starting position information, it is determined that the main body 100 passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence during the movement. At this time, the position detection module 401 feeds back a start signal to trigger the start of the aerosol generating device.

[0090] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the position detection module 401 includes a sensor assembly 411 and a first microcontroller 412 electrically connected to the sensor assembly 411.

[0091] The sensor assembly 411 is used to detect the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 when the main body 100 or the housing 200 is in motion, and obtain the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The first microcontroller 412 is used to feedback a start signal or an abnormal signal according to the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200, so that the aerosol generating device starts or does not start.

[0092] The sensor assembly 411 can be one or more sensors for detecting whether a preset position is passed during the relative movement of the main body 100 and the housing 200. The present application does not limit the type of sensors having this function. For example, the sensor assembly 411 can be a sensor for detecting the movement trajectory of the main body 100 inside the housing 200, such as an acceleration sensor. The sensor assembly 411 includes at least one sensor. The first microcontroller 412 is disposed inside the main body 100. The sensor assembly 411 can be disposed inside the main body 100, on the surface of the main body 100, or inside the housing 200. When the sensor assembly 411 includes multiple sensors, they can also be separately disposed at these three positions.

[0093] Taking the main body 100 moving relative to the housing 200 under an external force as an example, when the main body 100 moves along the first direction of the housing 200, for example, in the counterclockwise direction along the circumference of the housing 200, when the sensor assembly 411 does not detect that the current position information of the main body 100 matches the preset start position information, that is, when it does not detect that the main body 100 passes through the preset start position during the movement, the first microcontroller 412 determines that the main body 100 does not pass through the preset start position during the movement, and thus feedbacks an abnormal signal to prevent the aerosol generating device from starting.

[0094] The situation where the main body 100 does not pass through the preset start position during the movement can be that it passes through the preset initial position during the movement but does not pass through the preset start position, or it starts moving from any position between the preset initial position and the preset start position and does not pass through the preset start position.

[0095] When the sensor assembly 411 detects that the current position information of the main body 100 matches the preset start position information, and the position information of the main body 100 at a certain previous position also matches the preset initial position information, the first microcontroller 412 determines that the main body 100 passes through the preset initial position and the preset start position in sequence during the movement, and thus feedbacks a start signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to start.

[0096] After the aerosol generating device is started, when the sensor assembly 411 detects that the main body 100 is in the second direction along the housing 200, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, for example, the main body 100 passes through a preset starting position in the clockwise direction along the circumferential direction of the housing 200, that is, leaves the preset starting position, or successively passes through the preset starting position and the preset initial position, that is, reaches the preset initial position from the preset starting position, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to switch from the starting state to the shutdown state or enter the standby state.

[0097] Alternatively, the sensor assembly 411 may be a sensor that detects a position point of the main body 100 in the housing 200, such as a photoelectric sensor. The sensor assembly 411 at least includes a first sensor and a second sensor that are spaced apart on the main body 100 and / or the housing 200. The first sensor and the second sensor respectively detect whether the movement of the main body 100 passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position.

[0098] Specifically, taking the first sensor and the second sensor as photoelectric sensors as an example, when the position information of the movement of the main body 100 relative to the housing 200 detected by the first sensor matches the preset initial position information, and the position information of the movement of the main body 100 relative to the housing 200 detected by the second sensor does not match the preset starting position information, it indicates that the sensor assembly 411 detects that the movement of the main body 100 in the housing 200 does not pass through the preset starting position. At this time, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back an abnormal signal to trigger the aerosol generating device not to start.

[0099] When the position information of the movement of the main body 100 relative to the housing 200 detected by the first sensor matches the preset initial position information, and the position information of the movement of the main body 100 relative to the housing 200 detected by the second sensor matches the preset starting position information, it indicates that the sensor assembly 411 detects that the movement of the main body 100 in the housing 200 successively passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position. At this time, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a start signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to start.

[0100] When the second sensor detects that the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 in the opposite direction and passes through the preset initial position again, that is, when leaving the preset initial position, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to switch from the startup state to the shutdown state or the standby state. Alternatively, after the second sensor detects that the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 in the opposite direction and passes through the preset startup position again, when the first sensor also detects that the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 in the opposite direction and passes through the preset initial position again, that is, when the main body 100 moves from the preset startup position to the preset initial position, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to switch from the startup state to the shutdown state or the standby state.

[0101] Further, in a specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the aerosol generating device further includes a time detection module 402.

[0102] The time detection module 402 is configured to detect the movement time required for the main body 100 or the housing 200 to move through the preset initial position and the preset startup position in sequence; and when detecting that the movement time exceeds the preset startup time (such as 1 s), it feeds back an abnormal signal to prevent the aerosol generating device from starting; when detecting that the movement time is less than the preset startup time, it feeds back a startup signal to start the aerosol generating device.

[0103] Specifically, taking the case where the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force as an example, when the position detection module 401 detects that the main body 100 moves through the preset initial position, the time detection module 402 starts timing, or records the current time point, and when the position detection module 401 detects that the main body 100 moves through the preset startup position, the time detection module 402 stops timing, obtains the recorded duration, or the time detection module 402 records the current time point and obtains the time interval between the two time points. At this time, if the time detection module 402 detects that the recorded duration or time interval exceeds the preset startup time, it is determined as an abnormal phenomenon, and an abnormal signal is fed back to prevent the aerosol generating device from starting; only when the time detection module 402 detects that the recorded duration or time interval is less than the preset startup time, the aerosol generating device starts automatically.

[0104] Those skilled in the art should understand that in actual applications, when the normal user behavior causes the main body 100 to move relative to the housing 200, the coherence of the user's actions causes the main body 100 to move from the preset initial position to the preset starting position. At this time, the movement time of the main body 100 must be less than the preset starting time, so the relative movement between the main body 100 and the housing 200 triggers the self-start of the aerosol generating device. In the case of non-user behavior, that is, in the case of misoperation, when the main body 100 is moved relative to the housing 200 by an external force of non-user behavior, after the main body 100 starts to move from the starting position, due to the insufficient acting force, the main body 100 stops moving before passing through the preset starting position. After stopping for a period of time, it moves again due to the external force of non-user behavior and then passes through the preset starting position. At this time, the position detection module 401 detects that the main body 100 has passed through the preset starting position and determines it as the condition for triggering the start of the aerosol generating device. However, since the main body 100 passes through the preset starting position after multiple movements due to misoperation of non-user behavior, during this process, the movement time required for the main body 100 to reach the preset starting position from the preset initial position, that is, the time of each movement of the main body 100 during the process of the main body 100 reaching the preset starting position from the preset initial position, and the total time of stopping in the middle must exceed the preset starting time. Therefore, the time detection module 402 feeds back an abnormal signal, so that the aerosol generating device does not start.

[0105] It can be seen from this that in the case of misoperation, although the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 and passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, when the time required for the main body 100 to reach the preset starting position from the preset initial position exceeds the preset starting time, the aerosol generating device does not start either. Thus, it can further detect misoperation. Through the double misoperation detection of the position detection module 401 and the time detection module 402, it can effectively avoid the phenomenon of resource waste and safety hazards caused by the self-start of the aerosol generating device due to misoperation.

[0106] Furthermore, after the aerosol generating device is started, the time detection module 402 detects the working time of the aerosol generating device. When it detects that the current working time of the aerosol generating device exceeds the preset working time (such as 10 s), the time detection module 402 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to make the aerosol generating device shut down or enter the standby state.

[0107] Thus, it can protect the device itself when the user uses the device for too long, and can also avoid the situation that the user overuses the functions provided by the device and is not conducive to health, etc.; it can also avoid problems such as resource waste and safety hazards caused by the aerosol generating device being started and working for too long due to misoperation.

[0108] In addition, when the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the time detection module 402 detects the standby time of the aerosol generating device. When it is detected that the current standby time of the aerosol generating device exceeds the preset standby time (such as 2 minutes), the time detection module 402 feeds back a shutdown signal to shut down the aerosol generating device.

[0109] Thus, when the device is in the standby state for a long time and no user activates the device, the device can automatically enter the shutdown state, which can automatically shut down the device in cases where the user forgets to shut down or due to misoperation resulting in the device being in the standby state for a long time, saving resources and avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0110] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the time detection module 402 includes a timer 413 and a second microcontroller 414 electrically connected to the timer 413. The timer 413 is used to record the movement time required for the main body 100 or the housing 200 to move past a preset initial position and a preset start position in sequence. The second microcontroller 414 feeds back a start signal or an abnormal signal according to the movement time to start or not start the aerosol generating device. Moreover, after the aerosol generating device is started, the timer 413 records the working time of the aerosol generating device, and the second microcontroller 414 controls the aerosol generating device to maintain the normal working state, or controls the aerosol generating device to shut down or enter the standby state according to the working time. After the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the timer 413 records the standby time of the aerosol generating device, and the second microcontroller 414 controls the aerosol generating device to maintain the standby state or switch to the shutdown state according to the standby time.

[0111] In this embodiment, taking the main body 100 moving relative to the housing 200 under an external force as an example, when the movement time recorded by the timer 413 for the main body 100 to move past the preset initial position and the preset start position in sequence exceeds the preset start time, the second microcontroller 414 feeds back an abnormal signal to prevent the aerosol generating device from starting; when the movement time recorded by the timer 413 is less than the preset start time, the second microcontroller 414 feeds back a start signal to start the aerosol generating device.

[0112] After the aerosol generating device is started, for the working time of the aerosol generating device recorded by the timer 413, when the second microcontroller 414 detects that the working time recorded by the timer 413 exceeds the preset working time, it feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to switch the aerosol generating device from the normal working state to the shutdown or standby state; when the working time recorded by the timer 413 is less than the preset working time, the second microcontroller 414 still feeds back a start signal to keep the aerosol generating device in the normal working state.

[0113] When the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the standby time of the aerosol generating device recorded by the timer 413. When the second microcontroller 414 detects that the standby time recorded by the timer 413 exceeds the preset standby time, it feeds back a shutdown signal so that the aerosol generating device switches from the standby state to the shutdown state. When the current standby time of the aerosol generating device is less than the preset standby time, the aerosol generating device remains in the standby state. When the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, if the aerosol generating device receives a start trigger, it starts from the standby state.

[0114] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned preset initial position and preset start position are two different positions for the aerosol generating device to start moving from the closed state. For the case where the aerosol generating device starts moving from the open state, the preset start position and preset initial position are two different positions respectively. The above-mentioned preset initial position and preset start position can be the starting position and ending position of the movement of the main body 100 or the housing 200, or two different positions between the starting position and ending position of the movement of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The above-mentioned passing through the preset initial position can be starting to move from the preset initial position, or passing through the preset initial position during the movement, or reaching the preset initial position when stopping the movement; similarly, the above-mentioned passing through the preset start position can be starting to move from the preset start position, or passing through the preset start position during the movement, or reaching the preset start position when stopping the movement.

[0115] In a specific embodiment, the aerosol generating device of the present application further includes a start indicator light (not shown in the figure). When the aerosol generating device starts, the start indicator light emits light, and the light emitted by the start indicator light penetrates to the outside. The start indicator light can be set on the main body 100 or the housing 200 according to actual conditions.

[0116] Specifically, the start indicator light can be set inside the main body 100. When the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other to form the above-mentioned space area 303, the light emitted by the start indicator light passes through the air flow channel and the space area 303 in sequence, or passes through the gap between the main body 100 and the housing 200 and the space area 303 in sequence, or directly scatters to the outside through the gap between the main body 100 and the housing 200; or a light-transmitting area is provided in the corresponding area of the housing 200, and the start indicator light scatters the light source to the outside through the light-transmitting area.

[0117] Alternatively, the start indicator light can also be set on the proximal end 101 of the main body 100, the surface of the main body 100, or the inner surface of the housing 200. When the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other to form the above-mentioned space area 303, the light emitted by the start indicator light passes through the space area 303, or successively through the gap between the main body 100 and the housing 200 and the space area 303, or directly scatters to the outside through the gap between the main body 100 and the housing 200; or a light-transmitting area is provided in the corresponding area of the housing 200, and the start indicator light scatters the light source to the outside through the light-transmitting area.

[0118] Alternatively, the start indicator light can also be set on the housing 200, and the light of the start indicator light is directly emitted to the outside; the start indicator light can also be a partial area or the entire area of the housing 200, and the housing 200 directly emits light for indication.

[0119] By emitting light for indication when the aerosol generating device of the start indicator light is started, it is used to prompt the user that the device has been started. At the same time, by emitting light from the inside to the outside, or by the housing 200 itself emitting light, the device also shows dynamic colors, has a cool feeling, etc., enhancing the customer experience.

[0120] In a specific embodiment, a charging interface can be provided on the main body 100, and an opening is provided at the corresponding position on the housing 200. This opening does not cover the charging interface. For example, an electrical interface is provided at the distal end 102 of the main body 100, and the second opening end 204 of the housing 200 does not cover the charging interface, and the edge of the opening of the second opening end 204 is joined to the charging interface.

[0121] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the charging interface can be provided on the housing 200.

[0122] The charging interface is used to connect to an external power source to charge the aerosol generating device. The charging interface is a wireless charging interface or a wired charging interface. The wireless charging interface can be, for example, a contact magnetic adsorption charging interface or a wireless induction charging interface, and the wired charging interface can be, for example, a micro USB charging interface or a Type-C charging interface.

[0123] In a specific embodiment, in order to facilitate the use and placement of the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device is provided with at least one of a matte layer, an anti-slip portion, multi-sided edges and corners, a flat top end, and a flat bottom end. For example, a matte layer is provided on the outer surface of the housing 200, anti-slip portions such as ridges and bumps are provided on the outer surface of the housing 200, and the housing 200 is set in a multi-sided edge and corner shape, so that the aerosol generating device plays an anti-slip role during use and an anti-rolling role when parked. In addition, the appearance of the device is beautiful and has a tactile feeling. Furthermore, if the aerosol generating device is provided with a flat top end and / or a flat bottom end, the aerosol generating device can not only be parked horizontally but also vertically without falling down.

[0124] In a specific embodiment, the housing 200 is sleeved with a soft sheath, which plays a protective role for the device. For example, when the device falls, it can reduce the impact force. In addition, it can also enhance the touch feeling and improve the user experience.

[0125] In a specific embodiment, a temperature-sensitive layer is provided on the outside of the housing 200, or the housing 200 is a temperature-sensitive housing. When the device is in a normal working state and there are internal changes in the device, the housing 200 displays different colors according to the temperature change, or different regions show different colors or gradient colors.

[0126] In a specific embodiment, a light-sensitive layer is provided on the outside of the housing 200, or the housing 200 is a light-sensitive housing. When in a low-light environment, the housing 200 emits light by itself.

[0127] Different from the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present application, as Figures 2a to 2c shown, the second part 104 of the surface of the housing 200 is covered, and the second open end 204 is connected to the distal end 102 of the main body 100 and does not cover the distal end 102 of the main body 100.

[0128] When the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relative to each other, such that a spatial region 303 is formed due to the height difference between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, or the distal end 102 of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200.

[0129] Specifically, as Figure 2a shown, in a specific embodiment, the first open end 203 of the housing 200 is a fully open transverse end face opening, or it can also be a curved surface opening, and the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200.

[0130] Taking the main body 100 moving relative to the housing 200 under an external force as an example, in the first case, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 makes a longitudinal movement within the housing 200. Specifically, the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 makes a longitudinal movement in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200, such that the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out from the first open end 203 of the housing 200, and the ventilation part 111 is exposed outside the housing 200, thereby communicating with the atmosphere, as Figure 2b and Figure 2cAt the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally toward the first open end 203 of the shell 200 in the axial direction of the shell 200, so that the distal end 102 of the main body 100 extends into the shell 200 to form a concave area 304, and there is a gap between the interior of the shell 200 and the distal end 102 of the main body 100 in the concave area 304, thereby forming an air inlet, as shown in FIG. Figure 2c as shown; or, Figure 2c In a situation not shown, the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 performs a reciprocating motion, so that the distal end 102 of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 and then returns to its original position.

[0131] exist Figure 2b and Figure 2c In the second case not shown, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is rotated by an external force by a certain angle, for example, 180°, the main body 100 performs circumferential motion in the shell 200. Specifically, the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 rotates in the shell 200 to perform circumferential motion, and produces a longitudinal displacement toward the first open end 203 of the shell 200, so that the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first open end 203. At this time, the vent 111 on the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 is exposed to the outside of the shell 200, thereby communicating with the outside world; at the same time, the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 also performs circumferential motion, and the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is located in the original position or extends into the shell 200, that is, the shell 200 still covers the second part 104 on the surface.

[0132] exist Figure 2b and Figure 2c In the third case not shown, when the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the shell 200. Specifically, the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the shell 200 toward the second open end 204 of the shell 200, so that the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 extends from the first open end 203 of the shell 200 into the shell 200 to form an internal hollow area, and the vent 111 is connected to the outside world through the hollow area. At the same time, the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the shell 200 toward the second open end 204 of the shell 200, so that the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the shell 200. Alternatively, the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first opening end 203 of the shell 200 after making a reciprocating motion relative to the shell 200, which is specifically the same as the situation in which the first portion 103 on the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first opening end 203 of the shell 200 in the first and second cases; at the same time, the distal end 102 of the main body 100 and the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 are still in their original positions, that is, in this case, the first portion 103 and the second portion 104 on the surface of the main body 100 are not linked.

[0133] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned spatial region 303, the first part 103 and the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 in this application are only for definition and representation. For the spatial region 303, the first part 103 and the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 involved in various force situations, the area sizes of the spatial region 303 in various situations may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different; similarly, the area sizes of the first part 103 in various situations may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different; similarly, the area sizes of the first part 103 in various situations may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different, and no limitations are imposed here.

[0134] The above uses specific examples to elaborate on this application, which is only used to help understand this application and is not intended to limit this application. For those skilled in the technical field to which this application pertains, based on the idea of this application, several simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can also be made.
