It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 10 , Figures 1 to 10The first embodiment of the present application is shown. The first embodiment of the present application provides a host, which includes a housing 110, a power supply assembly 120, a first conductive member 130, a second conductive member 140, and an adjusting assembly 150 for adjusting the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the first conductive member 140. The power supply assembly 120, the first conductive member 130, the first conductive member 140 and the adjusting assembly are all arranged inside the housing 110, the power supply assembly 120 is electrically connected to the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 respectively, the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 are both transmission-connected to the adjusting assembly 150, the adjusting assembly 150 is used to adjust the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140, and the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 are respectively used to connect to the positive electrode 210 and the negative electrode 220 of the atomizer 200.

[0037] As you can understand, the working principle of this host is as follows:

[0038] According to the positional spacing between the positive electrode 210 and the negative electrode 220 of different atomizers 200, the positional spacing between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 is adjusted by adjusting the component 150 (eg Figures 4 to 9 As shown in the figure, the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the first conductive member 140 changes under the drive of the adjustment component, so that the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 can correspond to the positive electrode 210 and the negative electrode 220 of the atomizer 200 respectively, so as to ensure that the first conductive member 130 can be electrically connected to the positive electrode 210 of the atomizer 200, and the second conductive member 140 can be electrically connected to the negative electrode 220 of the atomizer 200, so that the same host can adapt to different atomizers 200 and can be electrically connected to different atomizers 200. The power supply component 120 is electrically connected to the atomizer 200 through the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140, so that the power supply component 120 can provide electrical energy for the atomizer 200 to heat the atomized aerosol generating substrate.

[0039] When in use, first adjust the adjustment component 150 according to the distance between the positive electrode 210 and the negative electrode 220 of the atomizer 200, then assemble the atomizer 200 with the host, and control the atomizer 200 to work through the host.

[0040] In summary, compared with the prior art, the host has at least the following technical effects:

[0041] The present application adjusts the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 by setting an adjustment component 150, so that the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 can be appropriately adjusted according to the spacing distance between the positive electrode 210 and the negative electrode 220 on different atomizers 200, so that the host can match different atomizers 200, thereby improving the applicability of the host and enhancing the user experience.

[0042] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 150 includes an active member 151, a first driven member 152 and a second driven member 153. The active member 151 is respectively connected to the first driven member 152 and the second driven member 153 in transmission. Under the action of external force, the active member 151 rotates around the central axis of the active member relative to the shell 110 to drive the first driven member 152 and the second driven member 153 to produce relative displacement. The first conductive member 130 is fixedly connected to the first driven member 152, and the second conductive member 140 is fixedly connected to the second driven member 153.

[0043] Specifically, when the user needs to adjust the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140, the active member 151 can be rotated to drive the first follower 152 and the second follower 153 connected to the active member 151, and the first follower 152 and the second follower 153 move relative to each other to generate relative displacement, and the first conductive member 130 moves with the first follower 152, and the second conductive member 140 moves with the second follower 153, thereby realizing the relative movement of the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 to adjust the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140, so that the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 can adapt to the positive and negative electrodes 220 of the atomizer 200.

[0044] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment component 150 also includes a fixing nail 154, which is fixedly connected to the shell 110, and the active member 151 is assembled in the shell 110 through the fixing nail 154. The fixing nail is located on the central axis of the active member. The active member 151 rotates around the fixing nail 154 under the action of external force. The outer side surface of the active member 151 is provided with gear teeth 1511, and the first driven member 152 and the second driven member 153 are respectively meshed with the gear teeth 1511 of the active member 151. The top of the active member 151 is provided with a groove 1512, and the groove 1512 is adapted to the head of the external adjustment tool.

[0045] Specifically, by rotating the active member 151, the first follower member 152 and the second follower member 153 meshing with the gear teeth 1511 can perform relative translational motion under the rotation of the active member 151, wherein the first follower member 152 is provided with a first convex tooth meshing with the gear teeth 1511, and the second follower member 153 is provided with a second convex tooth meshing with the gear teeth 1511.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 10As shown, in some embodiments, the external adjustment tool is a screwdriver, and the shape of the groove 1512 can be set according to the head shape of different screwdrivers 300. For example, the groove 1512 can be set as a cross-shaped groove to adapt to a cross screwdriver, and for another example, the groove 1512 can be set as a straight-shaped groove to adapt to a straight-shaped screwdriver. Of course, in other embodiments, the external adjustment tool can also be any other tool that can cooperate with the groove to enable external force to act on the active member so that the active member can be rotated under force.

[0047] Of course, in some implementations, the groove 1512 may be omitted from the top of the active member 151, and the user may rotate the active member 151 by hand or use other tools such as clips, tweezers, etc. to rotate the active member 151. In this embodiment, a groove 1512 adapted to the screwdriver head is provided on the top of the active member 151, so that the active member 151 can be embedded in the interior of the housing 110, and the raised portion of the active member 151 is prevented from being too high to affect the assembly of the atomizer 200 on the host.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 10 In this embodiment, the housing 110 includes a shell 111 and a bracket 112. The bracket 112 is arranged inside the shell 111. The power supply assembly 120 is connected to the inside of the bracket 112. The first follower 152 and the second follower 153 are arranged inside the bracket 112. The fixing nail 154 is fixedly connected to the bracket 112. The active member 151 is rotatably connected to the bracket 112 through the fixing nail 154, and the top of the active member 151 is exposed on the top surface of the bracket 112. Specifically, the fixing nail 154 is used to connect the active member 151 to the bracket 112 to prevent the active member 151 from falling out. The top of the active member 151 is exposed on the top surface of the bracket 112, so that the screwdriver can engage with the groove 1512 on the active member 151 to rotate the active member 151.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bracket 112 is provided with a receiving cavity 1121, the first follower 152 and the second follower 153 are both arranged in the receiving cavity 1121, and the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 are both arranged through the receiving cavity 1121. Further, the top surface of the receiving cavity 1121 is provided with a first through hole 1122 and a second through hole 1123, and the bottom surface of the receiving cavity is provided with a third through hole 1124 and a fourth through hole 1125, the first through hole 1122 and the third through hole 1124 are arranged correspondingly, the first conductive member 130 is passed through the first through hole 1122 and the third through hole 1124, the second through hole 1123 and the fourth through hole 1125 are arranged correspondingly, the second conductive member 140 is passed through the second through hole 1123 and the fourth through hole 1125, and the active member 151 is arranged in the interval area between the first through hole 1122 and the second through hole 1123.

[0050] Specifically, the first conductive member 130 passes through the first through hole 1122 and the third through hole 1124, wherein the first through hole 1122 and the third through hole 1124 guide the moving direction of the first conductive member 130. The second through hole 1123 and the fourth through hole 1125 guide the moving direction of the second conductive member 140. The size of the first transmission member is larger than the aperture of the first through hole 1122 and the third through hole 1124, and the size of the second transmission member is larger than the aperture of the second through hole 1123 and the fourth through hole 1125, so that the first transmission member and the second transmission member are accommodated in the accommodating cavity 1121, can perform translational movement relative to the bracket 112, and will not be separated from the first through hole 1122, the second through hole 1123, the third through hole 1124 and the fourth through hole 1125. The bracket 112 supports the adjustment component 150 and the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140.

[0051] The active member 151 is located between the first through hole 1122 and the second through hole 1123, so that the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 can move along the length direction of the first through hole 1122 and the second through hole 1123 respectively, and the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 can be symmetrical about the center of the active member 151 and relatively translate, thereby changing the distance between the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140.

[0052] In one embodiment, the host further includes a microphone switch 160, which is connected to the power supply component 120. Further, in this embodiment, the power supply component 120 includes a control circuit board 121 and a battery 122, the microphone switch 160 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 121, the control circuit board 121 is electrically connected to the battery 122, and the control circuit board 121 is electrically connected to the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140.

[0053] Specifically, the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 are connected to the control circuit board 121 through metal conductive wires respectively.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first conductive member 130 and the second conductive member 140 are both elastic electrodes. The elastic electrodes have a certain elastic deformation and can maintain good electrical contact with the positive electrode 210 and the negative electrode 220 of the atomizer 200.

[0055] Based on the above-mentioned host, an embodiment of the present application also provides an aerosol generating device, which includes an atomizer 200 and the host described in Example 1. The atomizer 200 is detachably connected to the shell 110. When the atomizer 200 is connected to the shell 110, the positive electrode 210 of the atomizer 200 is electrically connected to the second conductive member 140 of the host.
