The power switch is a mechanical power switch and is arranged on the housing of the power supply device, that is, on the housing of the aerosol generating device. When using the existing aerosol generating device, the user needs to manually press the mechanical power switch to start the power supply device, and power the atomizer through the power supply device so that the atomizer can atomize the aerosol-forming substrate after being powered to generate an aerosol. The existing aerosol generating device can only start the power supply by setting a mechanical power switch on the housing of the device. The function implementation method of the device is single and cannot meet the user's experience needs. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The present application will be further described in detail below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] The present application provides an aerosol generating device. In the first embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1a to 1d As shown, the aerosol generating device includes a main body 100 and a shell 200, wherein the shell 200 has an accommodating space (not shown in the figure), and the main body 100 is installed in the accommodating space. When the main body 100 or the shell 200 is subjected to external force, the main body 100 and the shell 200 can move relative to each other.

[0048] The main body 100 is used to atomize an aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol. The main body 100 has an internal airflow channel (not shown) for circulating air and / or aerosol. In actual use, the main body 100 stores an aerosol-forming substrate. When the main body 100 enters normal operation, the main body 100 atomizes the aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol. The generated aerosol is released to the outside through the airflow channel, or external air enters the airflow channel and carries the generated aerosol to the outside for the user to use.

[0049] The main body 100 includes a proximal end 101, a distal end (not shown), and a surface (not shown). The distal end is disposed opposite the proximal end 101, and the surface is located between the proximal end 101 and the distal end. When the aerosol-generating device is closed, the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200 and is not visible. Those skilled in the art will understand that the proximal end 101 and the distal end of the main body 100 in this application are merely used to refer to the two ends of the main body 100, and are only relative terms, and do not limit the specific meanings of "proximal end" and "distal end."

[0050] The housing 200 includes a first housing 201 and a second housing 202 . The first housing 201 and / or the second housing 202 can move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force.

[0051] When the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100, a first relative displacement occurs between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, forming a first region 301, thereby activating the aerosol-generating device. The first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202, when acted upon by an external force, moves relative to the main body 100, triggering the aerosol-generating device to self-activate.

[0052] Specifically, the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, which may include the following situations:

[0053] In the case where the first housing 201 alone is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, the first housing 201 is movably connected to the main body 100, and the second housing 202 can be fixedly connected to the main body 100 and cannot move relative to the main body 100, or the second housing 202 can be movably connected to the main body 100 and can move relative to the main body 100. Similarly, in the case where the second housing 202 alone is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, the second housing 202 is movably connected to the main body 100, and the first housing 201 can be fixedly connected to the main body 100 and cannot move relative to the main body 100; or the first housing 201 can be movably connected to the main body 100 and can move relative to the main body 100. In the case where both the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, both the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are movably connected to the main body 100.

[0054] When the first shell 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, the first shell 201 is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100 toward the proximal end 101 of the main body 100, and relative displacement occurs between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202. When the second shell 202 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, the second shell 202 is displaced toward the distal end of the main body 100, and relative displacement also occurs between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202. In the case where both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, they may move simultaneously or sequentially relative to the main body 100, and relative displacement also occurs between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202.

[0055] It can be seen from this that when only the first shell 201 or the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force, or when both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force, a first relative displacement is generated between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 to form the first area 301.

[0056] In this embodiment, preferably, the first shell 201 is movably connected to the main body 100, and the second shell 202 is fixedly connected to the main body 100. When the first shell 201 is subjected to an external force, the first shell 201 is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100 toward the proximal end 101 of the main body 100. At this time, the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 generate a first relative displacement, forming a first area 301, which triggers the aerosol generating device to start.

[0057] Here, for the case where the second shell 202 is fixedly connected to the main body 100, only the case where the first shell 201 can move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force is taken as an example. Of course, not only can the first shell 201 move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force, but the main body 100 can also move relative to the first shell 201 under the action of external force, so that the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 produce a first relative displacement, forming a first area 301.

[0058] Specifically, a first area 301 is formed between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 to trigger the aerosol generating device to start. It can only trigger the aerosol generating device to be powered on, that is, the main body 100 is powered on and enters the standby state. The aerosol generating device enters the normal working state when it is triggered by the normal working signal in the standby state. At this time, the main body 100 works normally and atomizes the aerosol-forming substrate to generate aerosol.

[0059] For example, when the user operates the aerosol generating device, causing the first shell 201 to move relative to the main body and forming the above-mentioned first area 301 between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, the aerosol generating device is powered on. After the aerosol generating device is powered on, when the user performs other operations on the aerosol generating device (such as suction, blowing, etc.), the aerosol generating device enters a normal working state and atomizes the aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol.

[0060] Alternatively, the first area 301 formed between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 triggers the aerosol generating device to start, which may be to trigger the aerosol generating device to be powered on, and at the same time the aerosol generating device enters a normal working state.

[0061] For example, when the user operates the aerosol generating device so that the first shell 201 moves relative to the main body and forms the above-mentioned first area 301 between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, 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. The aerosol generating device immediately atomizes the aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol. In other words, the aerosol generating device can generate aerosol after being powered on.

[0062] In the present application, the relative movement of the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 and the main body 100 under the action of an external force can trigger the self-start of the aerosol generating device, so that the aerosol generating device can be provided with a mechanical power switch or not. In the case where the aerosol generating device is not provided with a mechanical power switch, the start can be triggered by the relative movement of the shell and the main body; in the case where the aerosol generating device is provided with a mechanical power switch, the device can be triggered to start by pressing the power switch or the relative movement of the shell and the main body, thereby achieving diversification of the device function implementation methods and improving the user experience. Moreover, in the case where the aerosol generating device is not provided with a mechanical power switch, it can also not affect the consistency of the device appearance, and simplify the device structure, which is conducive to reducing the size of the device and realizing miniaturization of the device.

[0063] In this embodiment, preferably, the aerosol generating device does not have a mechanical switch on the shell, but an electronic switch element, such as a MOS tube, 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.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, the first area 301 forms an air inlet, which is connected to the entrance of the air flow channel. In this case, external air can enter the air flow channel from the air inlet formed by the first area 301; or, the first area 301 forms an air outlet, which is connected to the outlet of the air flow channel. In this case, the air flowing into the air flow channel from the outside and / or the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating device is released from the air flow channel from the air outlet formed by the first area 301.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the first housing 201 includes a top end 210 and a first engaging end 211, with the top end 210 of the first housing 201 being disposed opposite the first engaging end 211. The second housing 202 includes a bottom end 220 and a second engaging end 221, with the bottom end 220 of the second housing 202 being disposed opposite the second engaging end 221, and the second engaging end 221 being connected to the first engaging end 211. The top end 210 of the first housing 201 and the bottom end 220 of the second housing 202 are disposed opposite each other, representing the top and bottom ends of the housing 200, respectively. Similarly, those skilled in the art should understand that the terms "top" and "bottom" herein are merely used to refer to the two ends of the housing 200, and are relative terms, and do not limit the specific meanings of "top" and "bottom." Specifically, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 to form the first region 301.

[0066] In one embodiment, the top end 210 of the first housing 201 has a first opening 212 . The first opening 212 does not cover the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 , and an edge of the first opening 212 is engaged with the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 .

[0067] When the first shell 201 moves relative to the main body 100, in addition to the above-mentioned first area 301 formed between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, that is, the above-mentioned first area 301 is formed between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202, a second relative displacement is also generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0068] Of course, when the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100, a third relative displacement is also generated between the bottom end 220 of the second shell 202 and the distal end of the main body 100 to form a third area (not shown in the figure), which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0069] Specifically, when the first area 301 forms an air inlet, the second area 302 forms an air outlet, which is connected to the outlet of the air flow channel. At this time, the air flowing into the air flow channel from the outside, and / or the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating device is released from the air flow channel from the air outlet formed by the first area 301; or, when the first area 301 forms an air outlet, the second area 302 forms an air inlet, which is connected to the inlet of the air flow channel. At this time, external air can enter the air flow channel from the air inlet formed by the first area 301.

[0070] Specifically, the first region 301 is an open area formed by the separation of the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202. This open area includes the gaps between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201, the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202, and the surface of the main body 100, thereby forming an air inlet or an air outlet. The second region 302 is a hollow area formed by the height difference between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100, thereby forming an air outlet or an air inlet.

[0071] In this embodiment, preferably, the first area 301 forms an air inlet, and the second area 302 forms an air outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet of the air flow channel, so that the air flow channel is connected to the external atmosphere.

[0072] Since the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 are not subjected to external force to produce relative displacement relative to the main body to form an air inlet and an air outlet, the air flow channel is not connected to the outside world, so that when the aerosol generating device is in a closed state (unused state), that is, in a static state or during transportation, carrying, etc., it will not form convection with the outside world, and will not be affected by the internal and external air pressure difference, effectively avoiding the leakage of the aerosol forming substrate of the aerosol generating device due to the influence of the internal and external air pressure difference.

[0073] In this embodiment, the surface of the main body 100 includes a first portion 301 .

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 are two edges of matching shape and size, and the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 abuts the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202. The first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 may have their end faces aligned and aligned, directly abutting each other, or one of the end faces of the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 may be concave, with the other end face aligned and inserted into the concave edge for abutment.

[0075] When the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force to form the above-mentioned first area 301, the above-mentioned first area 301 formed does not cover the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100. The first area 301 is an opening area surrounded by the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 and the end face of the first joint end 211 and the end face of the second joint end 221.

[0076] In another specific embodiment, the first joining end 211 and the second joining end 221 are two matching joining ends, and the first joining end 211 and the second joining end 221 are socketed with each other. When a first area 301 is formed between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, the first area 301 includes at least a portion of the first joining end 211, or the first area 301 includes at least a portion of the second joining end 221, that is, when the first area 301 is formed between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, the above-mentioned first area 301 formed can be the first part 103 covering the surface of the main body 100, or it can be the first part 103 not covering the surface of the main body 100.

[0077] Specifically, when the first joint end 211 is sleeved on the second joint end 221, the first area 301 can be the area enclosed between the outer surface of the second joint end 221 and the end face of the first joint end 211 when the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by external force, and at this time, the first area 301 covers the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100; or, when the second joint end 221 is sleeved on the first joint end 211, the first area 301 can be the area enclosed between the outer surface of the first joint end 211 and the end face of the second joint end 221 when the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by external force, and at this time, the first area 301 also covers the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100. However, when the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force until the first joint end 211 is separated from the second joint end 221 and the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first area 301 does not cover the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100.

[0078] The outer surface of the first joint end 211 may be a partial area of the first joint end 211 or the entire area of the first joint end 211 ; similarly, the outer surface of the second joint end 221 may be a partial area of the second joint end 221 or the entire area of the second joint end 221 .

[0079] In a specific embodiment, the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 may also be uneven end surfaces of various shapes. When the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 may enclose areas of different shapes. For example, when the shell 200 is a circular tube shell and the end surfaces of the first joint end 211 and the second joint end 221 are mutually offset inclined surfaces, the first joint end 211 and the second joint end 221 enclose an elliptical area, that is, the exposed first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is an elliptical surface, such as Figure 1c and Figure 1d shown.

[0080] In another specific embodiment, the first joining end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joining end 221 of the second shell 202 can be transverse annular end faces. When the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by external force so that the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first joining end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joining end 221 of the second shell 202 form an annular area, that is, the exposed first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is an annular surface.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, the aerosol generating device is provided with an information display area, which is used to display one or more of identification information, aerosol forming substrate remaining information, environmental information, working status information, power information, self-parameter information and other information, wherein the aerosol forming substrate remaining information can be displayed transparently or 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 device, the temperature of the components, etc., and the self-parameter information includes the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the device, the resistance of the components, etc.

[0082] Information is displayed in the information display area so that users can know the current status information when using the aerosol generating device, which helps users to predict the usage status. For example, when the remaining amount of aerosol forming substrate is too little, the user can predict that it is time to add aerosol forming substrate, or replace the container storing the aerosol forming substrate, or stop using the device; 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 may choose to stop using it.

[0083] Specifically, the information display area can be set on the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100. When the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by external force so 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.

[0084] Of course, the information display area can also be set on the shell 200. The information display area can be a partial area of the shell 200 or the entire area of the shell 200.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the aerosol generating device of the present application further includes a position detection module 401 .

[0086] When the main body 100 or housing 200 moves, the position detection module 401 detects the position information of the main body 100 or housing 200 and obtains the current position information of the main body 100 or housing 200. The position detection module 401 can detect the position information of the main body 100 or housing 200 in real time, or it can detect the position information of the main body 100 or housing 200 when it starts and stops moving. The position detection module 401 stores the obtained current position information.

[0087] After obtaining the current position information of the main body 100 or the shell 200, the position detection module 401 compares the current position information of the main body 100 or the shell 200 with the preset start-up position information. If the current position information of the main body 100 or the shell 200 does not match the preset start-up position information, it is determined that the movement of the main body 100 or the shell 200 has not passed through the preset start-up position, and an abnormal signal is fed back to prevent the aerosol generating device from starting.

[0088] Specifically, when the main body 100 and the shell 200 move relative to each other, for example, the first shell 200 moves relative to the main body 100 so that a first area 301 is formed between the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, if the current position information of the first shell 201 moving along the main body 100 does not match the preset start-up position information, that is, the movement of the first shell 201 has not passed through the preset start-up position, at this time, the first area 301 formed by the relative movement of the first shell 201 and the main body 100 is not the area formed after the first shell 201 moves through the preset start-up position, then the aerosol generating device does not start.

[0089] Thus, when the first shell 201 moves relative to the main body 100 without user behavior, but when the first shell 201 stops moving, the first shell 201 has not passed the preset starting position, the aerosol generating device determines that it is an erroneous operation that causes the first shell 201 to move relative to the main body 100 without starting. Therefore, it can avoid the aerosol generating device from self-starting due to erroneous operation without user behavior, and avoid the problem of waste of resources, safety hazards, etc. caused by the self-start of the equipment due to erroneous operation.

[0090] In another aspect of this embodiment, upon detecting that the position information of the main body 100 or housing 200 during movement matches the preset initial position information and the preset start position information, the position detection module 401 determines that the main body 100 or housing 200 has sequentially passed through the preset initial position and the preset start position, and feeds back a start signal to activate the aerosol generating device. Specifically, during the movement of the main body 100 or housing 200, upon detecting that the position information of the main body 100 or housing 200 matches the preset initial position information, and then, upon detecting that the position information of the main body 100 or housing 200 continues to move and that a certain position information matches the preset initial position information, the position detection module 401 determines that the main body 100 or housing 200 has sequentially passed through the preset initial position and the preset start position, and further determines that the movement of the main body 100 or housing 200 is under normal user behavior, and thus feeds back a start signal to activate the aerosol generating device.

[0091] Specifically, taking the case where the first housing 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force as an example, the position detection module 401 obtains the position information of the first housing 201 during its movement and compares the current position information of the first housing 201 with the preset initial position information and the preset startup position information. If the current position information of the first housing 201 matches the preset initial position information, it is determined that the first housing 201 has passed through the preset initial position. If the current position information of the first housing 201 matches the preset startup position information, it is determined that the first housing 201 has passed through the preset startup position. Thus, if, during the movement of the first housing 201, the position detection module 401 first detects that the position information of the first housing 201 matches the preset initial position information and then detects that the position information of the first housing 201 matches the preset startup position information, it is determined that the first housing 201 has passed through the preset initial position and the preset startup position successively during its movement. At this point, the position detection module 401 returns a start signal, thereby triggering the aerosol generating device to start.

[0092] The above description only applies to the case where the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100. Similarly, if the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100, the aerosol generating device will not automatically activate if the second housing 202 stops moving but has not passed through the preset activation position. The aerosol generating device will only automatically activate if the second housing 202 stops moving and passes through the preset activation position. Here, the preset activation position referenced by the movement of the second housing 202 and the preset activation position referenced by the movement of the first housing 201 are two different preset activation positions.

[0093] Therefore, when both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move relative to the main body 100, if one of the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 does not pass through the corresponding preset starting position when the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 stop moving, the aerosol generating device cannot be triggered to start automatically. The aerosol generating device can only be triggered to start automatically when both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 pass through the corresponding preset starting positions when the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 stop moving.

[0094] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the position detection module 401 includes a sensor component 411 and a first microcontroller 412 electrically connected to the sensor component 411 .

[0095] The sensor assembly 411 is used to detect the position of the main body 100 or the housing 200 when the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves, and obtain the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The first microcontroller 412 is used to feedback an activation signal or an abnormality signal based on the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200, so as to activate or deactivate the aerosol generating device.

[0096] The sensor assembly 411 may be one or more sensors for detecting whether the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 have passed through a preset position during the relative movement with the main body 100. The present application does not limit the type of sensor having this function. For example, the sensor assembly 411 may be a sensor for detecting the movement trajectory of the first shell 201 and / or the second shell 202 on the main body 100, 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 may be disposed inside the main body 100, on the surface of the main body 100, or inside the shell 200. When the sensor assembly 411 includes multiple sensors, they may be disposed in these three positions.

[0097] Specifically, taking the movement of the first shell 201 relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force as an example, when the first shell 201 moves along the first direction of the main body 100, for example, in the counterclockwise direction along the circumference of the main body 100, when the sensor component 411 does not detect that the current position information of the first shell 201 matches the preset start position information, that is, when the first shell 201 is not detected to have moved through the preset start position, the first microcontroller 412 determines that the first shell 201 has not moved through the preset start position, and thereby feeds back an abnormal signal, so that the aerosol generating device does not start.

[0098] The movement of the first shell 201 without passing through the preset starting position may be a situation where it passes through the preset initial position during the movement but does not pass through the preset starting position, or a situation where it starts to move from any position between the preset initial position and the preset starting position but does not pass through the preset starting position.

[0099] When the sensor component 411 detects that the current position information of the first shell 201 matches the preset starting position information, and a certain position information of the first shell 201 before this also matches the preset initial position information, the first microcontroller 412 determines that the movement of the first shell 201 passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, thereby feeding back a starting signal to trigger the start of the aerosol generating device.

[0100] After the aerosol generating device is started, when the sensor component 411 detects that the first shell 201 moves in a second direction along the main body 100, which is opposite to the first direction, for example, the first shell 201 passes through the preset starting position in a clockwise direction along the circumference of the main body 100, that is, leaves the preset starting position, or passes through the preset starting position and the preset initial position in sequence, 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 startup state to the shutdown state or enter the standby state.

[0101] Alternatively, the sensor assembly 411 can be a sensor that detects whether the first shell 201 passes through a certain position point on the main body 100, such as a photoelectric sensor. The sensor assembly 411 includes at least a first sensor and a second sensor spaced apart on the main body 100 and / or the shell 200. The first sensor and the second sensor respectively detect whether the movement of the first shell 201 passes through a preset initial position and a preset starting position.

[0102] Specifically, taking the first sensor and the second sensor as photoelectric sensors as an example, when the first sensor detects that the position information of the first shell 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset initial position information, and the second sensor does not detect that the position information of the first shell 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset start position information, it means that the sensor component 411 detects that the first shell 201 moves on the main body 100 without passing through the preset start position. At this time, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back an abnormal signal to trigger the aerosol generating device not to start.

[0103] When the first sensor detects that the position information of the first shell 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset initial position information, and the second sensor detects that the position information of the first shell 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset start position information, it means that the sensor component 411 detects that the first shell 201 moves on the main body 100 and passes through the preset initial position and the preset start position in sequence. At this time, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a start signal to trigger the start of the aerosol generating device.

[0104] When the second sensor detects that the first housing 201 moves in the opposite direction relative to the main body 100 and passes through the preset initial position again, that is, moves away from 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 active state to the shutdown state or the standby state. Alternatively, after the second sensor detects that the first housing 201 moves in the opposite direction relative to the main body 100 and passes through the preset active position again, the first sensor also detects that the first housing 201 moves in the opposite direction relative to the main body 100 and passes through the preset initial position again, that is, the first housing 201 moves from the preset active 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 active state to the shutdown state or the standby state.

[0105] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the aerosol generating device further includes a time detection module 402 .

[0106] The time detection module 402 is used to detect the movement time required for the main body 100 or the shell 200 to move through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence; and when it is detected that the movement time exceeds the preset starting time (such as 1s), an abnormal signal is fed back to prevent the aerosol generating device from starting; when it is detected that the movement time is less than the preset starting time, a start signal is fed back to start the aerosol generating device.

[0107] Specifically, taking the case where the first shell 201 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force as an example, when the position detection module 401 detects that the first shell 201 moves through a 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 first shell 201 moves through a preset starting position, the time detection module 402 stops timing and 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 starting time, it is determined to be 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 starting time, the aerosol generating device will start automatically.

[0108] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in actual applications, when normal user behavior causes the first shell 201 to move relative to the main body 100, the continuity of the user's action causes the first shell 201 to move from a preset initial position to a preset start position. At this time, the movement time of the first shell 201 must be less than the preset start time, and the relative movement of the first shell 201 and the main body 100 triggers the self-start of the aerosol generating device. In the case of non-user behavior, that is, in the case of erroneous operation, when the first shell 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force not caused by the user, after the first shell 201 starts to move from the starting position, the first shell 201 will stop moving without passing through the preset starting position due to insufficient force. After stopping for a period of time, it will move again due to the external force not caused by the user before passing through the preset starting position. At this time, the position detection module 401 detects that the first shell 201 has passed through the preset starting position and determines that it is a condition that can trigger the activation of the aerosol generating device. However, because the first shell 201 passes through the preset starting position after multiple movements due to the erroneous operation not caused by the user, the movement time required for the first shell 201 to reach the preset starting position from the preset initial position during this process, that is, the sum of the time of each movement of the first shell 201 and the time of stopping movement during the process of the first shell 201 from the preset initial position to the preset starting position must exceed the preset activation time. Therefore, the time detection module 402 returns an abnormal signal, causing the aerosol generating device to not be activated.

[0109] It can be seen from this that in the case of an erroneous operation, although the first shell 201 moves relative to the main body 100 and sequentially passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position, when the time required for the first shell 201 to reach the preset starting position from the preset initial position exceeds the preset starting time, the aerosol generating device will not start, thereby being able to further detect the erroneous operation. Through the dual erroneous operation detection of the position detection module 401 and the time detection module 402, the aerosol generating device can be effectively avoided from self-starting due to erroneous operation, which leads to waste of resources and safety hazards.

[0110] Furthermore, after the aerosol generating device is activated, the time detection module 402 detects the operating time of the aerosol generating device. When it is detected that the current operating time of the aerosol generating device exceeds a preset operating time (e.g., 10 seconds), the time detection module 402 returns a shutdown signal or a standby signal to shut down the aerosol generating device or enter a standby state.

[0111] Therefore, when the user uses the device for too long, the device itself can provide protection, which can also prevent the user from overusing the functions provided by the device, which is detrimental to health. It can also prevent the aerosol generating device from taking too long to start up due to misoperation, thereby causing waste of resources, safety hazards and other problems.

[0112] Furthermore, when the aerosol generating device is in a 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 a preset standby time (e.g., 2 minutes), the time detection module 402 returns a shutdown signal to shut down the aerosol generating device.

[0113] Therefore, when the device is in standby mode for a long time and no user activates the device, the device will automatically enter the shutdown state. It can also automatically shut down when the user forgets to shut down or causes the device to be in standby mode for a long time due to improper operation, saving resources and avoiding safety hazards.

[0114] Specifically, if Figure 3As 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 shell 200 to successively pass through the preset initial position and the preset starting position. The second microcontroller 414 feeds back a start signal or an abnormal signal based on 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 a normal working state, or controls the aerosol generating device to shut down or enter a standby state based on 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 a standby state or switch to a standby state based on the standby time.

[0115] In this embodiment, the movement of the first shell 201 relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force is taken as an example. When the timer 413 records that the movement time required for the first shell 201 to successively pass through the preset initial position and the preset starting position exceeds the preset starting 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 starting time, the second microcontroller 414 feeds back a start signal to start the aerosol generating device.

[0116] After the aerosol generating device is started, the timer 413 records the working time of the aerosol generating device. 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, so that the aerosol generating device switches from the normal working state to the shutdown or standby state; and 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, so that the aerosol generating device maintains the normal working state.

[0117] When the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the timer 413 records the standby time of the aerosol generating device. 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 to switch the aerosol generating device 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 receives a start trigger while in the standby state, it starts from the standby state.

[0118] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the aforementioned preset initial position and preset starting position are two different positions, one after the other, when the aerosol generating device begins to move from a closed state. In contrast, when the aerosol generating device begins to move from an open state, the preset starting position and the preset initial position are two different positions, one after the other. The aforementioned preset initial position and preset starting position may be the starting point and the end point of the movement of the main body 100 or the shell 200, or may be two different positions, one after the other, between the starting point and the end point of the movement of the main body 100 or the shell 200. Passing through the preset initial position may mean starting from the preset initial position, passing through the preset initial position during movement, or reaching the preset initial position upon stopping movement. Similarly, passing through the preset starting position may mean starting from the preset starting position, passing through the preset starting position during movement, or reaching the preset starting position upon stopping movement.

[0119] In a specific embodiment, the aerosol generating device of the present application further includes a start indicator light (not shown). When the aerosol generating device is started, the start indicator light illuminates, and the light emitted by the start indicator light is transmitted to the outside. The start indicator light can be set on the main body 100 or the shell 200 according to actual conditions.

[0120] Specifically, the start indicator light can be set inside the main body 100. When the first shell 201 moves along the main body 100 to form the above-mentioned second area 302, the light emitted by the start indicator light passes through the air flow channel and the second area 302 in sequence, or passes through the gap between the main body 100 and the shell 200 and the second area 302 in sequence and is scattered to the outside from the first opening 212 of the first shell 201, or is directly scattered to the outside through the gap between the main body 100 and the shell 200; or a light-transmitting area is set in the corresponding area of the shell 200, and the start indicator light scatters the light source through the light-transmitting area.

[0121] Alternatively, the start indicator light can also be set at the proximal end 101 of the main body 100, the surface of the main body 100 or the inner surface of the shell 200. When the first shell 201 moves along the main body 100 to form the above-mentioned second area 302, the light emitted by the start indicator light passes through the second area 302, or passes through the gap between the main body 100 and the shell 200 and the second area 302 in turn and is scattered outward from the first opening 212 of the first shell 201, or is directly scattered to the outside through the gap between the main body 100 and the shell 200; or a light-transmitting area is set in the corresponding area of the shell 200, and the start indicator light scatters the light source through the light-transmitting area.

[0122] Alternatively, the start indicator light may be provided on the housing 200, and the light of the start indicator light may be emitted directly to the outside; the start indicator light may also be a partial area or the entire area of the housing 200, and the housing 200 may directly emit light for indication.

[0123] By emitting a light indicator when the aerosol generating device is started, the user is prompted that the device has been started. At the same time, by emitting a light source from the inside to the outside, or by the shell 200 itself emitting light, the device can display dynamic colors and have a cool feeling, thereby enhancing the customer experience.

[0124] In a specific embodiment, the main body has a charging port 105 , and the first shell or the second shell has a second opening. The second opening does not cover the charging port 105 , and an edge of the second opening engages with the charging port.

[0125] like Figure 1b As shown, the bottom end 220 of the second shell 202 has a second opening 222 , the distal end of the main body 100 has a charging interface 105 , the second opening 222 does not cover the charging interface 105 , and the edge of the second opening 222 engages with the charging interface 105 .

[0126] Alternatively, in another specific embodiment, the first shell 201 or the second shell 202 has a charging interface 105 . Preferably, the charging interface 105 can be provided at the bottom end 220 of the second shell 202 .

[0127] The charging port 105 is used to connect to an external power source to charge the aerosol generating device. The charging port 105 can be a wireless charging port or a wired charging port. The wireless charging port can be, for example, a contact magnetic charging port or a wireless induction charging port. The wired charging port can be, for example, a micro USB charging port or a Type-C charging port.

[0128] In a specific embodiment, to facilitate the use and placement of the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device is provided with at least one of a frosted layer, an anti-slip portion, polygonal edges, a flush top, and a flush bottom. For example, the outer surface of the housing 200 is provided with a frosted layer, the outer surface of the housing 200 is provided with anti-slip portions such as ridges and bumps, and the housing 200 is configured in a polygonal shape, thereby making the aerosol generating device anti-slip during use and anti-rolling when parked, and further making the device aesthetically pleasing and tactile. Furthermore, if the aerosol generating device is provided with a flush top and / or bottom, the aerosol generating device can be parked not only horizontally but also vertically without falling.

[0129] In a specific embodiment, the housing 200 is provided with a soft protective cover to protect the device. For example, it can reduce the impact force when the device falls. In addition, it can also increase the tactile feel and improve the user experience.

[0130] In a specific embodiment, a temperature-sensing layer is provided on the outside of the shell 200, or the shell 200 is a temperature-sensing shell. When the device is in normal working condition, when the internal structure of the device changes, the shell 200 displays different colors as the temperature changes, or each section is displayed in a different color or gradient color.

[0131] 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 shell. When in a relatively low light environment, the housing 200 emits light by itself.

[0132] According to the actual shape of the aerosol generating device, the external force acting on the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 can be in the form of rotation, pulling, pushing or pressing, for example, Figures 1a to 1d As shown, the aerosol generating device is cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical, so that the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 can be rotated, pulled, pushed or pressed by an external force to move relative to the main body 100; for example, Figure 2a to Figure 2b As shown, the aerosol generating device is prism-shaped or prism-like, so that the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 can move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external pulling, pushing or pressing.

[0133] Specifically, in the case where the first shell 201 moves independently relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force:

[0134] When the first shell 201 is rotated by an external force at a certain angle, such as 90° or 180°, the first shell 201 rotates along the circumference of the main body 100. At this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0135] Alternatively, when the first shell 201 is pulled or pushed a certain distance, such as 1 cm or 2 cm, toward the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 by an external force, the first shell 201 moves longitudinally along the main body 100. At this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0136] Alternatively, when the first shell 201 is pressed by external force, the pressing can be a touch-type pressing or a pressing time of a certain length, such as 3s or 5s. At this time, the first shell 201 moves along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, or the first shell 201 rotates along the circumference of the main body 100. In the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0137] For the case where both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force:

[0138] When the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are rotated in opposite directions by a certain angle, such as 90° or 180°, due to external force, the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 both rotate along the circumference of the main body 100. At this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0139] Alternatively, when the first shell 201 is pulled or pushed a certain distance toward the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 by an external force, and the second shell 202 is pulled or pushed a certain distance, for example, 1 cm or 2 cm, toward the distal end of the main body 100 by an external force, the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move in opposite directions along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100. At this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0140] Alternatively, when the first shell 201 or the second shell 202 is pressed by an external force, or the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are both pressed by an external force, the pressing can be a touch-type pressing, or it can be pressing for a certain period of time, such as 3s or 5s. At this time, the first shell 201 moves along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, or the first shell 201 rotates along the circumferential direction of the main body 100. In the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first shell 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second area 302.

[0141] For the case where the second housing 202 moves independently relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force:

[0142] When the second shell 202 is rotated by a certain angle, such as 90° or 180°, by an external force, the second shell 202 rotates along the circumference of the main body 100. At this time, in the longitudinal direction of the second shell 202, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301.

[0143] Alternatively, when the second shell 202 is pulled or pushed a certain distance, such as 1 cm or 2 cm, toward the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 by an external force, the second shell 202 moves longitudinally along the main body 100. At this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301.

[0144] Alternatively, when the second shell 202 is pressed by external force, the pressing can be a touch-type pressing or a pressing time of a certain length, such as 3s or 5s. At this time, the second shell 202 moves along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, or the second shell 202 rotates along the circumference of the main body 100. In the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form a first area 301.

[0145] Of course, when the second shell 202 moves relative to the main body 100, in addition to the first relative displacement between the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 to form the first area 301, a third area can also be formed between the bottom end of the second shell 202 and the distal end of the main body. This third area can also cooperate with the first area 301 or the second area 201 to form an air inlet or an air outlet, which is connected to the air flow channel.

[0146] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in this application, the above-mentioned first area 301, second area 302, and first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 are merely definitions. For the two situations where only the first shell 201 is subjected to external force, or both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are subjected to external force and move relative to the main body 100, the area of the first area 301 in these two situations may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different; similarly, the area of the second area 302 in these two situations may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different; similarly, in these two situations, the area of the first part 103 on the surface of the main body 100 may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different, and there is no limitation here.

[0147] Different from the above-mentioned first embodiment, in the second embodiment of the present application, Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, Figures 1a to 1d The aerosol generating devices shown differ in their shape. Figure 2a and Figure 2b The aerosol generating device shown is prismatic, and the end faces of the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 are transverse square annular end faces. When the first shell 201 is acted upon by an external force and moves relative to the main body 100, or when both the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are acted upon by an external force and move relative to the main body 100 so that the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first joint end 211 of the first shell 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second shell 202 form an annular area, that is, the exposed first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is a square annular surface.

[0148] Reference Figures 1a to 1d ,as well as Figure 2a to Figure 2b , Figures 1a to 1d This is a schematic structural diagram of a structure of an aerosol generating device of the present application. Figure 2a to Figure 2b The aerosol generating device structure shown is Figures 1a to 1d In another embodiment of the aerosol-generating device structure shown, the above embodiments are applicable except that the housing 200 cannot rotate relative to the main body 100 in some cases. For example, when both the housing 200 and the main body 100 are prismatic, the housing 200 cannot rotate relative to the main body 100. However, when the housing 200 is prismatic and the main body 100 is cylindrical, the housing 200 can rotate relative to the main body 100.

[0149] It should be noted that the aerosol generating device structure of the present application includes Figures 1a to 1d ,as well as Figure 2a and Figure 2bTwo structures, but not limited to these two structures.

[0150] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art of the present application, based on the concept of the present application, they can also make some simple deductions, modifications or substitutions.
