[0043] See also Figures 1 to 14 In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cigarette cartridge chamber assembly, the cigarette cartridge chamber assembly comprising: a front housing 21, a rear housing 22, a first hinge assembly 23 and a second hinge assembly 24, wherein the front housing 21 has a front left side and a front right side, and a front half groove 211 is further provided in the front housing 21;

[0044] The rear shell 22 has a rear left side and a rear right side. A rear half groove 221 is further provided in the rear shell 22. The rear half groove 221 and the front half groove 211 together enclose a smoke chamber 20 for inserting a smoke cartridge.

[0045] For further information, please refer again to Figure 8The first movable component 23 includes a first movable member 231, a second movable member 232 and a first rotating shaft 233. One side of the first movable member 231 and the second movable member 232 is rotatably connected through the first rotating shaft 233, the other side of the first movable member 231 is rotatably connected to the front left side of the front shell 21, and the other side of the second movable member 232 is rotatably connected to the rear left side of the rear shell 22.

[0046] The second movable component 24 includes a third movable part 241, a fourth movable part 242 and a fourth rotating shaft 243. One side of the third movable part 241 and the fourth movable part 242 is rotatably connected via the fourth rotating shaft 243, the other side of the third movable part 241 is rotatably connected to the front right side of the front shell 21, and the other side of the fourth movable part 242 is rotatably connected to the rear right side of the rear shell 22.

[0047] When the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22 are manually closed toward each other, the first loose-leaf component 23 and the second loose-leaf component 24 are folded at the same time, so that the smoke chamber 20 is reduced; on the contrary, when the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22 are opened away from each other, the first loose-leaf component 23 and the second loose-leaf component 24 are simultaneously unfolded, so that the smoke chamber 20 is enlarged. That is, when the smoke chamber 20 is fully opened or fully closed, the front shell 21, the rear shell 22, the first loose-leaf component 23 and the second loose-leaf component 24 are connected together to form a cube, and the first loose-leaf component 23 and the second loose-leaf component 24 are synchronously extended and retracted, so that the relative distance between the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22 changes, and the smoke chamber 20 is formed by the front half groove 211 provided on the front shell 21 and the rear half groove 221 provided on the rear shell 22. Therefore, when there is no need to insert aerosol, the smoke chamber 20 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the thickness of the smoke cartridge chamber component, and further realizing miniaturization and pocket-sized design.

That is, when the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22 are closed, the first loose-leaf assembly 23 and the second loose-leaf assembly 24 are folded inward, thereby further reducing the lateral width of the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22. The storage structure design further miniaturizes the whole. Of course, in other embodiments, if the lateral width of the front housing 21 and the rear housing 22 is not considered, the first loose-leaf assembly 23 and the second loose-leaf assembly 24 can also be folded outward.

[0049] Further, the first movable member 231 is rotatably connected to the front left side of the front housing 21 via a second rotating shaft 234, the second movable member 232 is rotatably connected to the rear left side of the rear housing 22 via a third rotating shaft 235, the third movable member 241 is rotatably connected to the front right side of the front housing 21 via a fifth rotating shaft 244, and the fourth movable member 242 is rotatably connected to the rear right side of the rear housing 22 via a sixth rotating shaft 245. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft portion integrally formed with the front housing 21 or the first movable member 231 may be movably connected to the corresponding connecting ring portion on the first movable member 231 or the front housing 21, the purpose of which is to achieve the rotational connection between the two.

The base 26 includes a base body 261, and a first guide groove 263 and a second guide groove 264 are provided on the base body 261. The first guide groove 263 and the second guide groove 264 are parallel to each other. The lower ends of the second rotating shaft 234 and the third rotating shaft 235 extend into the first guide groove 263, and the lower ends of the fifth rotating shaft 244 and the sixth rotating shaft 245 extend into the second guide groove 264. A through groove 262 is also provided in the middle of the base body 261, and the through groove 262 is used to connect the connecting seat 251 of the heating component 26.
