Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an aerosol generating device and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aerosol is a colloidal dispersion system formed by small solid or liquid particles dispersed and suspended in a gas medium. Aerosol can be absorbed by the human body through the respiratory system and provide users with a new alternative absorption method.

[0003] For example, an aerosol generating device that can bake and heat herbal, cream and liquid aerosol-generating matrices to produce aerosols is used in different fields to deliver inhalable aerosols to users, replacing conventional product forms and absorption methods.

[0004] Traditional aerosol generating devices can adjust the air intake and air output of the aerosol generating device by controlling the movement of the airflow size component, thereby achieving the adjustment of the airflow size.

[0070] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The present application provides an aerosol generating device 1, which includes a shell assembly 10, an operating member 20, an air regulating member 30, a power supply member 40 and an atomizing member 50. The shell assembly 10 is used to provide an installation base for the operating member 20, the air regulating member 30, the power supply member 40 and the atomizing member 50, the operating member 20 is used to operate the air regulating member 30 to adjust the airflow size of the shell assembly 10, the power supply member 40 is used to supply power to the atomizing member 50, and the atomizing member 50 is used to atomize the aerosol generating matrix therein to form an aerosol when powered on.

[0071] Please also read Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 , wherein a housing chamber 111 is provided in the shell assembly 10, and an air inlet hole 112 and an air outlet hole 113 communicating with the housing chamber 111 are provided on the shell assembly 10. The air regulating member 30, the power supply member 40 and the atomizing member 50 are all provided in the housing chamber 111, and the air regulating member 30 is configured to adjust the opening of the air inlet hole 112, and the operating member 20 is provided in the shell assembly 10. The operating member 20 has a first position and a second position relative to the shell assembly 10. When the operating member 20 is in the first position, the operating member 20 is locked with the air regulating member 30 so that the operating member 20 can control the air regulating member 30 to adjust the opening of the air inlet hole 112; when the operating member 20 is in the second position, the operating member 20 is unlocked with the air regulating member 30. Wherein, when the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the air regulating member 30, the operating member 20 can slide from the second position to the first position.

[0072] Optionally, the subject that controls the sliding of the operating member 20 may be a user or a driving member. Taking the subject as the user as an example, the user presses the operating member 20 to control the operating member 20 to slide toward the gas regulating member 30. When the subject continues to press the operating member 20 and controls the operating member 20 to move relative to the shell assembly 10, the gas regulating member 30 also moves and can adjust the opening of the air inlet 112, thereby realizing the adjustment of the airflow size of the aerosol generating device 1.

[0073] The adjustment of the opening of the air inlet hole 112 refers to the adjustment of the air inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet hole 112. After the opening of the air inlet hole 112 is adjusted, the air flow of the aerosol generating device 1 changes, thereby achieving the adjustment of the air flow size.

[0074] For example, after the opening of the air inlet 112 is adjusted, the air inlet 112 can be switched from a closed state to an open state, or from a small opening state to a large opening state, etc. Among them, when the air inlet 112 is in a closed state, the opening K of the air inlet 112 is zero, and the air flow rate is zero. When the air inlet 112 is in an open state, the opening of the air inlet 112 is 0<K≤100%, and the air flow rate is greater than zero. The small opening state and the large opening state are two different sub-states of the open state. When in the small opening state, the opening of the air inlet 112 is 0<K<50%, and the air flow rate is small. When in the large opening state, the opening of the air inlet 112 is 50%≤K≤100%, and the air flow rate is large.

[0075] Before the aerosol generating device 1 is started, the operating member 20 is in the second position, and the operating member 20 is unlocked from the gas regulating member 30. At this time, the operating member 20 can only idle relative to the shell assembly 10, and cannot act on the gas regulating member 30. When the operating member 20 slides to the first position relative to the shell assembly 10 along the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the gas regulating member 30, the operating member 20 is locked with the gas regulating member 30. At this time, the operating member 20 is controlled to drive the gas regulating member 30 to move relative to the shell assembly 10, and the opening of the air inlet 112 can be adjusted so that the air inlet 112 can be switched from a closed state to an open state. Then, the airflow can flow into the accommodating chamber 111 through the air inlet 112, and after mixing with the aerosol formed by atomization, it is output from the air outlet 113 to be inhaled by the user. After the atomization is completed, the operating member 20 operates the gas regulating member 30 to move in the original direction or the reverse direction, and the gas regulating member 30 can be controlled to close the air inlet 112 to prevent the outside from continuing to intake air. Finally, the operating member 20 slides along the direction in which the gas regulating member 30 points to the operating member 20 until the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 are unlocked, and thus, a single operation is completed.

[0076] It can be seen that when the operating member 20 is in the first position, the operating member 20 is locked with the gas regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 can drive the gas regulating member 30 to move relative to the shell assembly 10 and adjust the opening of the air inlet 112 to adjust the size of the airflow. When the aerosol generating device 1 is in the second position, the operating member 20 is unlocked from the gas regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the gas regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 can slide from the second position to the first position to achieve the locking of the operating member 20 with the gas regulating member 30. This setting method increases the difficulty of adjusting the opening of the gas regulating member 30, so it can prevent children from accidentally starting or accidentally inhaling, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the aerosol generating device 1.

[0077] In one embodiment, when the operating member 20 is located at the first position, the operating member 20 can drive the air regulating member 30 to rotate relative to the shell assembly 10 to adjust the opening of the air inlet 112 .

[0078] Among them, by controlling the air regulating member 30 to rotate in a plane perpendicular to the connecting line between the operating member 20 and the air regulating member 30, the opening of the air inlet 112 can be adjusted, so that the air inlet 112 can be switched from a closed state to an open state. By controlling the rotation angle of the air regulating member 30, the air intake amount of the air inlet 112 can be controlled, thereby achieving the adjustment of the air flow size. The method of adjusting the opening of the air inlet 112 by rotating the air regulating member 30 is simpler and more convenient to operate.

[0079] Please refer again Figure 7 , and also see Figure 6 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, a locking portion 31 is formed on one of the air regulating member 30 and the operating member 20, and a matching portion 22 is formed on the other. When the operating member 20 is in the first position, the locking portion 31 is locked with the matching portion 22; when the operating member 20 is in the second position, the locking portion 31 is separated from the matching portion 22.

[0080] The matching portion 22 cooperates with the locking portion 31 to improve the reliability of the locking between the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 to prevent the operating member 20 from being unlocked from the gas regulating member 30 during the process of driving the gas regulating member 30 to rotate.

[0081] Further, the locking portion 31 is either a concave portion or a convex portion, and the matching portion 22 is the other of the concave portion and the convex portion. When the convex portion is engaged with the concave portion, the operating member 20 is located at the first position; when the convex portion is withdrawn from the concave portion, the operating member 20 is located at the second position.

[0082] The matching portion 22 may be in the form of a groove, a blind hole, a pit, etc. The locking portion 31 may be in the form of a convex hump, a boss, a bump, etc. that can be engaged with the matching portion 22 .

[0083] The matching portion 22 cooperates with the locking portion 31 so that the gas regulating member 30 and the operating member 20 can be quickly locked or unlocked, thereby improving the efficiency of locking and unlocking of the aerosol generating device 1.

[0084] Furthermore, there are multiple locking parts 31 and matching parts 22, and all locking parts 31 are arranged along the circumference of the operating member 20 or the gas regulating member 30 on which they are arranged, and all matching parts 22 are arranged along the circumference of the operating member 20 or the gas regulating member 30 on which they are arranged. In this way, when each locking part 31 is matched with the corresponding matching part 22, the locking between the gas regulating member 30 and the operating member 20 is more reliable.

[0085] In one embodiment, the locking portion 31 is a convex rib and is arranged on the gas regulating member 30, and each convex rib extends radially along the gas regulating member 30. The operating member 20 includes a bearing portion 23 and a plurality of operating portions 21 carried on the bearing portion 23. All operating portions 21 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the operating member 20, for example, all operating portions 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the operating member 20, or all operating portions 21 are arranged continuously along the circumference of the operating member 20 and surrounded to form a cylindrical structure. Each operating portion 21 extends in the direction from the operating member 20 to the gas regulating member 30, and each operating portion 21 is provided with an operating through groove along its thickness direction, and each operating through groove extends along the extension direction of the operating portion 21 where it is located to the end face of the operating portion 21 facing the gas regulating member 30. Wherein, each operating through groove forms the above-mentioned matching portion 22. In addition, the thickness of each operating portion 21 is less than the length of the corresponding convex rib. In this way, even if the operating member 20 slides relative to the gas regulating member 30 in the radial direction of the gas regulating member 30 , each operating through groove can cooperate with the corresponding convex rib, thereby ensuring the reliability of the locking between the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 .

[0086] Of course, the matching form of the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 is not limited to the above-mentioned one. In some other embodiments, the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 can also be locked by a buckle or magnetic adsorption method.

[0087] Please read again Figure 8 and Fig. 9 Further, in one embodiment, one of the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 is formed with an elastic reset portion 24, and the other is formed with a pressing portion 32. During the sliding process of the operating member 20 from the second position to the first position, the elastic reset portion 24 is deformed and stores elastic potential energy under the pressure of the pressing portion 32. When the elastic reset portion 24 releases the elastic potential energy, the elastic reset portion 24 separates from the pressing portion 32, and the operating member 20 slides to the second position away from the gas regulating member 30.

[0088] In actual operation, taking user drive as an example, the user presses the operating member 20 and drives the operating member 20 to slide along the direction of the operating member 20 pointing to the gas regulating member 30 until it is locked with the gas regulating member 30. In this process, the elastic reset portion 24 is deformed and stores elastic potential energy under the pressure of the pressing portion 32. After locking, the user always keeps pressing the operating member 20, and drives the operating member 20 to drive the gas regulating member 30 to rotate to open the air inlet 112. After the atomization is completed, the user releases the external force, the elastic reset portion 24 releases the elastic potential energy, the elastic reset portion 24 separates from the pressing portion 32, and the elastic reset portion 24 can drive the entire operating member 20 to slide in the opposite direction to achieve unlocking.

[0089] Due to the arrangement of the elastic reset portion 24 and the pressing portion 32, on the one hand, during the locking process, the elastic reset portion 24 can increase the difficulty of locking the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 due to deformation, thereby further preventing children from accidentally starting and inhaling the device. On the other hand, the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 can be automatically unlocked without external operation, thereby helping to improve the convenience of unlocking.

[0090] Optionally, the elastic reset portion 24 may be an integral structure. Preferably, the elastic reset portion 24 may also be composed of a plurality of elastic units 241, each elastic unit 241 is deformed by the pressing portion 32, and different elastic units 241 are located at different positions and deformed by the pressing portion 32.

[0091] During the deformation process, the force on each elastic unit 241 is relatively uniform, so that each elastic unit 241 can be deformed stably. In addition, the provision of multiple elastic units 241 can further increase the difficulty of locking the operating member 20 with the gas regulating member 30, thereby further preventing children from accidentally starting and inhaling the drug.

[0092] Furthermore, an elastic space 27 is formed on the elastic reset portion 24 , and the elastic space 27 is configured to receive the pressing portion 32 .

[0093] The elastic space 27 can be formed by all the elastic units 241, or the elastic space 27 can be formed on at least one elastic unit 241. When the operating member 20 is in the first position, the pressing portion 32 is inserted into the elastic space 27, so that the elastic reset portion 24 expands and stores elastic potential energy. When the elastic reset portion 24 releases the elastic potential energy, the pressing portion 32 withdraws from the corresponding elastic space 27, and the operating member 20 slides to the second position away from the gas regulating member 30.

[0094] The provision of the elastic space 27 can not only improve the sliding stability of the operating member 20 , but also enable the elastic reset portion 24 to deform stably.

[0095] Preferably, the elastic reset portion 24 is carried on the bearing portion 23 and is located in a space formed by all the operating portions 21. The elastic reset portion 24 includes a plurality of elastic units 241, and all the elastic units 241 are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the operating member 20 and surround an elastic space 27. In addition, each elastic unit 241 is also spaced apart from each operating portion 21 in the radial direction of the operating member 20 to ensure that each elastic unit 241 has sufficient deformation space when pressed by the pressing portion 32.

[0096] It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent each elastic unit 241 from interfering with the cooperation between the locking portion 31 and the matching portion 22, the end faces of all elastic units 241 facing the gas regulating member 30 should be located below the lowest point of each operating slot. The lowest point of the operating slot refers to any point on the bottom wall of the operating slot when the direction of the line connecting the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 coincides with the vertical direction and the operating member 20 is located below the gas regulating member 30.

[0097] Of course, the elastic reset portion 24 and the elastic unit 241 are not limited to the above structures. In some other embodiments, the elastic reset portion 24 or the elastic unit 241 can also be a spring. Taking the elastic reset portion 24 as a spring as an example, during the locking process, the pressing portion 32 presses the spring and causes the spring to be compressed and deformed. After the spring releases its elastic potential energy, the spring returns to a naturally straightened state.

[0098] Please refer again Figure 3 Furthermore, in the direction from the gas regulating member 30 to the operating member 20 , the cross-sectional area of ​​the pressing portion 32 gradually decreases, so that the elastic reset portion 24 can conveniently receive the pressing portion 32 .

[0099] Please refer again Figure 6 and Fig.10 The air regulating member 30 includes an air regulating body 33 and an air regulating portion 34 connected to the air regulating body 33 ; the air regulating portion 34 is configured to adjust the overlapping area between the air regulating portion 34 and the air inlet hole 112 .

[0100] It can be understood that the overlapping area between the air regulating portion 34 and the air inlet hole 112 refers to the area of ​​the air inlet hole 112 covered by the projection of the air regulating portion 34 in the plane where the air inlet hole 112 opens.

[0101] The operating member 20 is provided to drive the air regulating body 33 to drive the air regulating part 34 to rotate, so as to adjust the overlapping area between the air regulating part 34 and the air inlet hole 112 to achieve the operation mode of adjusting the opening of the air inlet hole 112, which is simple and fast and has high adjustment efficiency.

[0102] Further, the inner wall of the shell component 10 is also structured to form a first stop surface 1173 and / or a second stop surface 1174. Preferably, the inner wall of the shell component 10 is structured to form a first stop surface 1173 and a second stop surface 1174. The first stop surface 1173 and the second stop surface 1174 are arranged at intervals on the rotation path of the air regulating part 34. The first stop surface 1173 is configured to prevent the air regulating part 34 from moving when the air regulating part 34 and the air inlet hole 112 have the maximum overlapping area. In other words, the first stop surface 1173 is used to prevent the air regulating part 34 from moving when the air regulating part 34 fully opens the air inlet hole 112. The second stop surface 1174 is configured to prevent the air regulating part 34 from moving when the air regulating part 34 and the air inlet hole 112 have the minimum overlapping area. In other words, the second stop surface 1174 is used to prevent the air regulating part 34 from moving when the air regulating part 34 closes the air inlet hole 112.

[0103] By providing the first stop surface 1173 and the second stop surface 1174 , when the air regulating portion 34 rotates to a suitable position, the air regulating portion 34 can be stopped from further rotating in time, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of adjustment.

[0104] In one embodiment, the shell assembly 10 is provided with an assembly hole 114 communicating with the accommodating cavity 111, and the shell assembly 10 is also provided with a flange 115 extending along the center direction of the assembly hole 114. The operating member 20 is passed through the assembly hole 114, and the operating member 20 is structured with a first limiting portion located in the assembly hole 114. When the operating member 20 is located at the second position, the first limiting portion overlaps the surface of the flange 115 facing the accommodating cavity 111.

[0105] The first limiting portion is the above-mentioned bearing portion 23. The first limiting portion can be in the shape of a plate, a block, a sheet, etc.

[0106] The flange 115 has a blocking effect on the first limiting portion. When the operating member 20 slides under the action of the elastic reset portion 24 and separates from the air regulating member 30, when the first limiting portion abuts against the flange 115, the operating member 20 is blocked by the flange 115 and stops sliding, thereby preventing the operating member 20 from withdrawing from the assembly hole 114 and causing assembly failure.

[0107] Furthermore, the operating member 20 is also structured to form a connecting portion 25 and a second limiting portion 26, the second limiting portion 26 is located outside the shell assembly 10 and is spaced apart from the first limiting portion, and the connecting portion 25 is connected between the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion 26. When the operating member 20 is in the first position, the second limiting portion 26 abuts against the surface of the flange 115 facing away from the accommodating cavity 111.

[0108] It can be understood that during the sliding of the operating member 20, at least a portion of the spacing between the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion 26 is the sliding stroke of the operating member 20. When the operating member 20 is pressed and slides in the direction of the operating member 20 pointing to the gas regulating member 30 until the second limiting portion 26 abuts against the flange 115, it means that the locking portion 31 has been locked with the matching portion 22. At this time, the user knows that the operating member 20 needs to be driven to rotate while pressing to open the air inlet 112. It can be seen that the cooperation between the second limiting portion 26 and the flange 115 can indicate that the locking of the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 is completed, so that the user can be prompted in time to operate the operating member 20 to drive the gas regulating member 30 to rotate and open the air inlet 112.

[0109] In addition, the provision of the second limiting portion 26 can also ensure that the operating member 20 has a portion located outside the shell assembly 10 , thereby facilitating the user to hold the operating member 20 or facilitating the connection between the driving member and the operating member 20 .

[0110] Please refer again Figure 3 , and also see Figure 5 and Fig.11 In one embodiment, the aerosol generating device 1 further includes a pressing member 60 coupled to the shell assembly 10 and located in the accommodating cavity 111 , and the pressing member 60 presses against a side of the air regulating member 30 facing away from the air inlet 112 .

[0111] The pressing member 60 can be fixed to the shell assembly 10 by buckling, magnetic adsorption or other methods. For example, in one embodiment, the pressing member 60 is provided with a buckling hole 62, and the shell assembly 10 is provided with a buckling portion 1172, which is buckled in the buckling hole 62.

[0112] The setting of the pressing member 60 can prevent the air regulating member 30 from sliding in the direction away from the air inlet hole 112, thereby ensuring better air tightness between the air regulating member 30 and the shell assembly 10 in the direction between the operating member 20 and the air regulating member 30 to prevent air leakage between the air regulating member 30 and the shell assembly 10.

[0113] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a surface of the pressing member 60 facing the gas regulating member 30 is formed with a first annular protrusion 61 . The first annular protrusion 61 is disposed along the circumference of the gas regulating member 30 and contacts the gas regulating member 30 .

[0114] In this way, the contact area between the pressing member 60 and the gas regulating member 30 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the reduction of the wear of the gas regulating member 30 during the rotation process relative to the pressing member 60 .

[0115] Please refer again Figure 1 , and also see Figure 8In one embodiment, the shell assembly 10 further includes a shell 11 and a sealing member 12, the shell 11 has a receiving cavity 111 and a first sub-hole 1121 communicating with the receiving cavity 111, the sealing member 12 is disposed in the receiving cavity 111 and is sealed between the shell 11 and the gas regulating member 30, a second sub-hole 1122 is formed on the sealing member 12, and the second sub-hole 1122 communicates with the first sub-hole 1121 to form the air inlet 112. The gas regulating member 30 is configured to adjust the opening of the second sub-hole 1122. Specifically, the operating member 20 drives the gas regulating member 30 to rotate relative to the shell assembly 10 and adjust the opening of the second sub-hole 1122.

[0116] The sealing member 12 is used to seal the gap between the air regulating member 30 and the shell assembly 10 , thereby preventing the external airflow from flowing into the accommodating cavity 111 only through the first sub-hole 1121 and the second sub-hole 1122 .

[0117] Specifically, the housing 11 includes a housing body 116, a base 117 and a suction nozzle 118. The housing body 116 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. The base 117 and the suction nozzle 118 are respectively connected to the openings at both ends of the housing body 116, and together with the housing body 116 define a receiving cavity 111. A first sub-hole 1121 is provided on the base 117. The sealing member 12 is provided with a second sub-hole 1122, and the sealing member 12 is used to seal the gap between the base 117 and the air regulating member 30. Among them, the number of the second sub-holes 1122 can be one or more, and the number is not specifically limited. The suction nozzle 118 is provided with an air outlet 113.

[0118] During the rotation of the air regulating member 30, the opening of the air inlet hole 112 will change. In order to facilitate the user to observe the opening of the air inlet hole 112, the projection of all the second sub-holes 1122 in the direction of the line connecting the operating member 20 and the air regulating member 30 can also be set to completely fall into the first sub-hole 1121. In this way, during the rotation of the air regulating member 30, the number and area of ​​the second sub-holes 1122 covered by the air regulating member 30 can be observed through the first sub-holes 1121 to determine whether the opening of the air inlet hole 112 is adjusted in place.

[0119] In one embodiment, the air inlet 112 is disposed at the bottom of the shell assembly 10, specifically, on the base 117. In normal use, the user generally holds the shell body 116 and inhales the aerosol overflowing from the mouthpiece 118. By designing the air inlet 112 to be located at the bottom, the air inlet 112 can be prevented from being blocked when the user holds the shell, thereby ensuring that the aerosol generating device 1 can freely inhale air.

[0120] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the base 117 is provided with an annular limiting groove 1171, and the sealing member 12 is annular and is limited in the limiting groove 1171. By providing the limiting groove 1171, the convenience and reliability of the installation of the sealing member 12 can be improved to prevent the sealing member 12 from shifting and causing poor airtightness between the base 117 and the air regulating member 30.

[0121] It is worth mentioning that the first stop surface 1173 and the second stop surface 1174 are both formed by extending the groove wall of the limiting groove 1171 .

[0122] In one embodiment, a second annular protrusion 121 is formed on the surface of the sealing member 12 facing the gas regulating member 30, and the second annular protrusion 121 contacts the surface of the gas regulating member 30 facing the air inlet 112. Under this arrangement, the contact area between the gas regulating member 30 and the sealing member 12 is relatively small. Therefore, when the gas regulating member 30 rotates in the gap between the sealing member 12 and the pressing member 60 driven by the operating member 20, the wear of the gas regulating member 30 is also relatively small, so the service life of the aerosol generating device 1 can be extended.

[0123] In the above-mentioned aerosol generating device 1, when the operating member 20 is located in the first position, the operating member 20 is locked with the gas regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 can drive the gas regulating member 30 to rotate relative to the shell assembly 10 to adjust the opening of the air inlet 112, so as to adjust the size of the airflow. When the operating member 20 is located in the second position, the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 are unlocked. At this time, when the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member points to the gas regulating member 30, the operating member 20 can slide from the second position to the first position to achieve the locking of the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30. This setting method increases the difficulty of adjusting the opening of the gas regulating member 30, so it can prevent children from accidentally starting or accidentally inhaling it, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the aerosol generating device 1.

[0124] Please refer again Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 , the aerosol generating device 1 provided in the present application also has an unlocked state and a locked state, and the aerosol generating device 1 includes a shell assembly 10, an air regulating member 30 and an operating member 20. The shell assembly 10 has a accommodating chamber 111, and an air inlet 112 connected to the accommodating chamber 111 is provided on the shell assembly 10. The air regulating member 30 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 111, and the operating member 20 is penetrated by the shell assembly 10. When in the locked state, the operating member 20 is locked with the air regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 can drive the air regulating member 30 to move relative to the shell assembly 10 to adjust the opening of the air inlet 112. When in the unlocked state, the operating member 20 is unlocked from the air regulating member 30. Among them, when the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the air regulating member 30, the aerosol generating device 1 can be switched from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0125] Before the aerosol generating device 1 is started, the aerosol generating device 1 is in an unlocked state, and the operating member 20 is unlocked from the air regulating member 30. At this time, even if the operating member 20 is operated, it can only idle relative to the shell assembly 10, and cannot act on the air regulating member 30. When the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the air regulating member 30, the operating member 20 is locked with the air regulating member 30, and the aerosol generating device 1 can be switched from an unlocked state to a locked state. At this time, the operating member 20 is controlled to drive the air regulating member 30 to rotate relative to the shell assembly 10 in a plane perpendicular to the line connecting the operating member 20 and the air regulating member 30, and the opening of the air inlet 112 is adjusted so that the air inlet 112 can be switched from a closed state to an open state. Among them, by controlling the rotation angle of the air regulating member 30, the air intake of the air inlet 112 can be controlled, thereby realizing the adjustment of the air flow size. Then, the airflow can flow into the accommodating chamber 111 through the air inlet 112, and after mixing with the aerosol formed by atomization, it is output from the air outlet 113 to be inhaled by the user. After the atomization is completed, the operating member 20 operates the gas regulating member 30 to rotate in the original direction or the reverse direction, and the gas regulating member 30 can be controlled to close the air inlet 112 to prevent the outside from continuing to take in air. Finally, the operating member 20 slides along the direction in which the gas regulating member 30 points to the operating member 20 until the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 are unlocked, and the aerosol generating device 1 switches to the unlocked state.

[0126] It can be seen that when the aerosol generating device 1 is in the locked state, the operating member 20 is locked with the gas regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 can drive the gas regulating member 30 to rotate relative to the shell assembly 10 and adjust the opening of the air inlet 112 to adjust the size of the airflow. When the aerosol generating device 1 is in the unlocked state, the aerosol generating device 1 can only switch from the unlocked state to the locked state when the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the gas regulating member 30. This setting method increases the difficulty of adjusting the opening of the gas regulating member 30, so it can prevent children from accidentally starting or accidentally inhaling, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the aerosol generating device 1.

[0127] Please refer again Figure 7 , and also see Figure 6 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, a locking portion 31 is formed on one of the air regulating member 30 and the operating member 20, and a matching portion 22 is formed on the other. When in a locked state, the locking portion 31 is locked with the matching portion 22. When in an unlocked state, the locking portion 31 is unlocked with the matching portion 22.

[0128] The matching portion 22 cooperates with the locking portion 31 to improve the reliability of the locking between the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 to prevent the operating member 20 from being unlocked from the gas regulating member 30 during the process of driving the gas regulating member 30 to rotate.

[0129] In one embodiment, one of the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 is formed with an elastic reset portion 24, and the other is formed with a pressing portion 32. During the process of switching the aerosol generating device 1 from the unlocked state to the locked state, the elastic reset portion 24 is deformed and stores elastic potential energy under the pressure of the pressing portion 32. When the elastic reset portion 24 releases the elastic potential energy, at least one of the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 slides away from the other until switching to the unlocked state.

[0130] Due to the arrangement of the elastic reset portion 24 and the pressing portion 32, on the one hand, during the locking process, the elastic reset portion 24 can increase the difficulty of locking the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 due to deformation, thereby further preventing children from accidentally starting and inhaling the device. On the other hand, the operating member 20 and the gas regulating member 30 can be automatically unlocked without external operation, thereby helping to improve the convenience of unlocking.

[0131] Please refer again Figure 6 and Fig.10 In one embodiment, the air regulating member 30 includes an air regulating body 33 and an air regulating portion 34 coupled to the air regulating body 33. When in a locked state, the air regulating portion 34 is controlled to rotate to adjust the overlapping area between the air regulating portion 34 and the air inlet 112.

[0132] The operating member 20 is provided to drive the air regulating body 33 to drive the air regulating part 34 to rotate, so as to adjust the overlapping area between the air regulating part 34 and the air inlet hole 112 to achieve the operation mode of adjusting the opening of the air inlet hole 112, which is simple and fast and has high adjustment efficiency.

[0133] Please also read Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 The present application also provides a control method for an aerosol generating device, and the control method utilizes the aerosol generating device 1 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0134] The above-mentioned aerosol generating device 1 includes a shell component 10, an air regulating component 30 and an operating component 20. The shell component 10 has a accommodating chamber 111, and an air inlet hole 112 connected to the accommodating chamber 111 is opened on the shell component 10. The air regulating component 30 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 111, and the air regulating component 30 is constructed to adjust the opening of the air inlet hole 112. The operating component 20 is penetrated by the shell component 10, and the operating component 20 has a first position and a second position relative to the shell component 10.

[0135] Please also read Fig.12 , the control method of the aerosol generating device includes step S100.

[0136] S100: When the operating member 20 is in the second position where the operating member 20 and the air regulating member 30 are unlocked, the operating member 20 is controlled to slide relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction where the operating member 20 points to the air regulating member 30, so that the operating member 20 switches to the first position where it is locked with the air regulating member 30.

[0137] When the operating member 20 is switched to the first position, the operating member 20 can drive the operating adjustment member 30 to adjust the opening of the air inlet 112. This method increases the difficulty of adjusting the opening of the air adjustment member 30, thereby preventing children from accidentally starting or inhaling the aerosol, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the aerosol generating device 1.

[0138] Furthermore, the control method of the aerosol generating device includes step S200.

[0139] S200 : When the operating member 20 is in the first position, the operating member 20 is controlled to drive the air regulating member 30 to rotate relative to the shell assembly 10 to adjust the opening of the air inlet hole 112 .

[0140] When the operating member 20 is in the second position, the operating member 20 slides relative to the shell assembly 10 in the direction in which the operating member 20 points to the air regulating member 30, and the operating member 20 can switch from the second position to the first position. When the operating member 20 is in the first position, the operating member 20 can operate the air regulating member 30 to rotate in a plane perpendicular to the connecting line between the operating member 20 and the air regulating member 30, and can adjust the opening of the air inlet 112 so that the air inlet 112 can be switched from a closed state to an open state. By controlling the rotation angle of the air regulating member 30, the air intake of the air inlet 112 can be controlled, thereby realizing the adjustment of the air flow size. The method of controlling the air regulating member 30 to adjust the opening of the air inlet 112 by rotation is simpler and more convenient to operate.

[0141] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0142] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
