Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerosol generating devices, and more particularly to a storage device and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Heated tobacco products consist of a packaging unit and tobacco placed inside. Their working principle involves heating the tobacco using a heating element at a relatively low temperature to prevent the tobacco from undergoing a decomposition reaction, thus reducing the production of harmful substances. This has led to the increasing popularity and favor of heated tobacco products. For portability, multiple products are typically stored in a storage box. However, existing storage boxes are complex in structure, making it time-consuming and laborious to retrieve the products, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a storage device and its usage method to address the problems of complex structure and time-consuming and laborious retrieval of atomized materials in existing storage boxes.

[0004] This invention provides a storage device, comprising:

[0005] Control shell;

[0006] A storage box, connected to the control housing, includes a box body, a sliding member, and a first reset member. The sliding member is slidably connected to the box body, and the first reset member connects the sliding member and the box body. The sliding member has a transition channel, and the box body has a storage channel and an outlet. The storage channel, the transition channel, the outlet, and the outside of the box body are sequentially connected. The control housing can drive the sliding member to slide forward, so that the transition channel is misaligned with the storage channel, and the transition channel is fully connected to the outlet. The first reset member accumulates a first reset force.

[0007] The first reset member can release the first reset force to drive the slider to slide in the opposite direction, so that the transition channel is fully connected with the storage channel, and the transition channel is misaligned with the outlet.

[0008] The aforementioned storage device includes a storage channel for storing atomized material. In its natural state, the storage channel is fully connected to the transition channel of the sliding member, allowing the atomized material to slide into the transition channel. When it is necessary to remove the atomized material, the control housing can be manually operated to drive the sliding member forward, thus fully connecting the transition channel with the outlet. The atomized material can then slide out through the outlet from the transition channel, at which point the first reset member accumulates a first reset force. When the atomized material is completely removed, the external force applied to the control housing is released, and the control housing also releases its force on the sliding member. The first reset member releases the first reset force, driving the sliding member to slide in the reverse direction, thus fully connecting the transition channel with the storage channel. The next atomized material in the storage channel can then slide into the transition channel. At this point, the transition channel and the storage channel are misaligned to prevent the atomized material from protruding from the outlet. The storage device provided by this invention offers quick and convenient atomized material retrieval, resulting in a good user experience.

[0009] In one embodiment, the control housing includes an outer shell, a control member, and a drive member. The drive member is slidably connected to the outer shell along a first direction, and the control member is slidably connected to the outer shell along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle. The control member can press against the drive member to drive the drive member to drive the slider to slide in the forward direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the control housing further includes a second reset member, which is connected to the drive member and the housing. When the drive member drives the slider to slide forward, the second reset member accumulates a second reset force, which can release the second reset force to drive the drive member to slide in the opposite direction and reset.

[0011] In one embodiment, the control housing further includes a third reset member, which connects the control member and the housing. When the control member slides and drives the drive member to slide in the forward direction, the third reset member accumulates a third reset force and can release the third reset force to drive the control member to reset.

[0012] In one embodiment, the storage box further includes a drive spring disposed in the storage channel, which can drive the atomized material in the storage channel to slide into the transition channel when the transition channel is fully connected to the storage channel.

[0013] In one embodiment, one of the control housing and the storage box has a slot, and the other has a snap-fit ​​flange, wherein the slot and the snap-fit ​​flange are detachably snap-fitted together.

[0014] In one embodiment, the storage device has multiple sets of storage channels, sliders, and outlets, each slider being slidable relative to the housing, such that the transition channel of the slider is fully connected to the corresponding storage channel and misaligned with the corresponding outlet, or the transition channel of the slider is fully connected to the corresponding outlet and misaligned with the corresponding storage channel.

[0015] In one embodiment, the storage device further includes a movable plug that is movable relative to the control housing to close or open the outlet.

[0016] The present invention also provides a method of using a storage device, wherein the storage device is the storage device described above, and the method of using the storage device includes the following steps:

[0017] Manually press the control shell to make the control shell drive the slider to slide in the forward direction relative to the box body, so that the transition channel is misaligned with the storage channel and the transition channel is fully connected with the outlet. The first reset member accumulates the first reset force, and the atomized material located in the transition channel can extend out of the box body through the outlet.

[0018] Release the control housing, and the first reset member releases the first reset force to drive the slider to slide in the opposite direction so that the transition channel is fully connected to the storage channel, the atomized material in the storage channel can slide into the transition channel, and the transition channel is misaligned with the outlet to restrict the atomized material from sliding out of the outlet.

[0019] In one embodiment, the method of use further includes the following steps:

[0020] Disassemble the storage box from the control shell, flip the storage box 180° and then reassemble it with the control shell. Repeat the above steps to remove the atomized material. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific details described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented in many other embodiments different from those described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This invention provides a storage device 100 for storing multiple rod-shaped objects, such as atomized material 3. Users can quickly and individually remove the multiple atomized materials 3 from the storage device for inhalation. The method of removing the atomized material 3 is quick and convenient, providing a good user experience.

[0038] The storage device 100 includes a control housing 1 and a storage box 2, the storage box 2 being detachably snapped onto the control housing 1. It is understood that in other embodiments, the control housing 1 and the storage box 2 can also be connected by other detachable methods, such as magnetic connection; even the control housing 1 and the storage box 2 can be a single molded structure, which is not limited here.

[0039] The storage box 2 can store multiple atomized products 3. After the storage box 2 is installed on the control shell 1, when the user wants to take out the atomized products 3, he / she can manually operate the control shell 1 to control the multiple atomized products 3 in the storage box 2 to extend one by one. The process of taking out the atomized products 3 is quick and convenient, and the user experience is good.

[0040] refer to Figure 4 The control housing 1 includes an outer shell 11, a second reset member 12, a drive member 13, a slide rod 14, a third reset member 15, a control member 16, and a movable plug 17. The drive member 13, slide rod 14, control member 16, and movable plug 17 are all slidably connected to the outer shell 11. The two ends of the second reset member 12 are respectively connected to the outer shell 11 and the drive member 13. The two ends of the third reset member 15 are respectively connected to the outer shell 11 and the slide rod 14. The slide rod 14 is connected to the control member 16.

[0041] The outer casing 11 has an outlet hole 111 near the movable plug 17. The movable plug 17 can slide back and forth relative to the outer casing 11 to close or open the outlet hole 111. When the user needs to remove the atomized material 3, the movable plug 17 can be slid relative to the outer casing 11 to open the outlet hole 111. At this time, the control element 16 can be manually pressed to control the atomized material 3 to extend from the outlet hole 111, and then the atomized material 3 can be manually pulled out. When the atomized material 3 does not need to be removed, the movable plug 17 can be slid relative to the outer casing 11 to close the outlet hole 111 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the outer casing 11 and affecting the extension of the atomized material 3.

[0042] It is understood that in other embodiments, the movable plug 17 can also be rotatably connected to the housing 11, or connected to the housing 11 via a plastic connecting rope, both of which can close or open the discharge hole 111.

[0043] A mounting groove 112 is provided on one side of the outer casing 11. The shape of the mounting groove 112 is adapted to the shape of the storage box 2 so that the storage box 2 can be installed in the mounting groove 112 and detachably snapped into the outer casing 11.

[0044] Multiple slots 113 are provided on both opposite walls of the mounting slot 112, and the multiple slots 113 are used for detachable snap-fit ​​to the storage box 2.

[0045] The second reset member 12 is a spring. The second reset member 12 can be compressed by the driving member 13 to accumulate a second reset force, which is an elastic force. The second reset member 12 can also release the second reset force to drive the driving member 13 to slide in the opposite direction and reset.

[0046] The driving member 13 can slide back and forth relative to the outer shell 11 in the first direction. When the driving member 13 slides in the positive direction of the first direction (sliding toward the second reset member 12), the driving member 13 can press against the second reset member 12 so that the second reset member 12 accumulates a second reset force. At the same time, the end of the driving member 13 can extend from the bottom of the mounting groove 112 and press against the storage box 2 so that the atomized material 3 in the storage box 2 can extend out from the discharge hole 111.

[0047] The second reset member 12 can release the second reset force to drive the drive member 13 to slide in the opposite direction (slide away from the second reset member 12) so that the drive member 13 is reset and the end of the drive member 13 retracts from the bottom of the mounting groove 112.

[0048] refer to Figure 5 The side of the drive member 13 has a guide protrusion 131. Of course, the guide protrusion 131 can also be replaced by a slope, which is not limited here.

[0049] The slide bar 14 can slide back and forth relative to the housing 11 in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. It is understood that the second direction and the first direction can also be arranged at other angles, such as 45°, 60°, etc., which are not limited here. By arranging the slide bar 14 and the drive member 13 at an angle, the size of the housing 11 in the first direction can be reduced. Since the slide bar 14 slides in the second direction, the size of the housing 11 in the first direction does not need to be very long to accommodate the slide bar 14.

[0050] refer to Figure 5The portion of the slide rod 14 near the drive member 13 has a driving ramp 141. When the slide rod 14 slides toward the drive member 13 in the second direction, the driving ramp 141 can press against the guide protrusion 131, thereby driving the drive member 13 to slide in the forward direction. It is understood that in other embodiments, the driving ramp 141 on the slide rod 14 can be replaced by an arc surface, which is not limited here.

[0051] refer to Figure 4 The third reset member 15 is a spring. When the slide rod 14 slides towards the drive member 13 in the second direction, the slide rod 14 presses against the third reset member 15, causing the third reset member 15 to accumulate a third reset force, which is an elastic force. The third reset member 15 can release the third reset force and drive the slide rod 14 away from the drive member 13, so that the slide rod 14 is reset.

[0052] The control element 16 is in the shape of a lid and can also slide back and forth relative to the outer shell 11 in the second direction. When the user applies external force (e.g., presses) to the control element 16, the control element 16 can slide towards the slide bar 14 in the second direction. The control element 16 presses against the slide bar 14 and slides towards the drive member 13 in the second direction. At the same time, the slide bar 14 presses against the third reset member 15, causing the third reset member 15 to accumulate a third reset force. The slide bar 14 continues to slide, and the driving inclined surface 141 of the slide bar 14 presses against the guide protrusion 131 of the drive member 13 to drive the drive member 13 to slide forward. The drive member 13 presses against the storage box 2 so that the atomized material 3 in the storage box 2 can extend out from the outlet hole 111, making it convenient for the user to pick up the atomized material 3.

[0053] After the user completely removes one atomized material 3, the external force applied to the control component 16 can be released. The third reset component 15 releases the third reset force to drive the slide rod 14 to slide away from the drive component 13, so that both the slide rod 14 and the control component 16 are reset. The second reset component 12 releases the second reset force to drive the drive component 13 to reset.

[0054] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The storage box 2 includes a box body 21, a first sliding member 22, a second sliding member 23, a first reset member 24, and a drive spring 25. The first sliding member 22 and the second sliding member 23 are slidably connected to the box body 21. The first reset member 24 is located between the first sliding member 22 and the second sliding member 23, with its two ends connected to the first sliding member 22 and the second sliding member 23, respectively. The drive spring is located inside the box body 21.

[0055] refer to Figure 2 The shape of the box 21 is adapted to the shape of the mounting groove 112 of the outer shell 11, both being approximately cuboid shapes, so that the box 21 can be installed in the mounting groove 112.

[0056] The side of the housing 21 has multiple snap-fit ​​flanges 213, which are used to detachably snap onto the slots 113 on the outer shell 11, so that the storage box 2 and the control shell 1 can be detachably connected. Of course, the slots 113 on the control shell 1 and the snap-fit ​​flanges 213 on the storage box 2 can be interchanged, which can also achieve a detachable connection between the storage box 2 and the control shell 1. In other embodiments, the storage box 2 and the control shell 1 can also be connected by other detachable methods, such as magnetic connection, etc., which are not limited here.

[0057] refer to Figure 4 The housing 21 has two storage channels 211, each capable of storing multiple atomized materials. Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 21 may have one, three, or other storage channels, which is not limited here.

[0058] refer to Figure 3 Each storage channel 211 can store up to four atomized materials. The maximum number of atomized materials that can be stored in the storage channel 211 varies depending on the length of the atomized material. When multiple atomized materials are stored in the same storage channel 211, the length extension directions of the multiple atomized materials are all arranged in a straight line and stacked on top of each other.

[0059] The shape and diameter of the storage channel 211 are adapted to the atomized material, both being cylindrical, so that the atomized material can move stably within the storage channel 211 and extend out one by one from the outlet hole 111.

[0060] The bottom of the box 21 has two outlets 212, which are respectively connected to two storage channels 211, so that the atomized material in the storage channel 211 can move through the corresponding outlet 212 to the outlet hole 111 of the outer shell 11 and then extend out to the outside.

[0061] There are two drive springs 25, each located within a corresponding storage channel 211. One end of each drive spring 25 is connected to the top of its respective storage channel 211, while the other end is used to press against and drive the nearest atomized material. Since multiple atomized materials are stacked end-to-end, each drive spring 25 can drive the farthest atomized material out of the outlet hole 111. As each atomized material is removed, the drive spring 25 gradually extends, releasing its elastic force until all atomized materials are removed from the storage channel 211, at which point it returns to its natural length. The drive springs 25 make it easier and faster for users to pick up atomized materials.

[0062] Both the first sliding member 22 and the second sliding member 23 are provided with transition channels 221. Both transition channels 221 are hollow and are respectively connected to the corresponding storage channel 211 and outlet 212, so that the atomized material in the storage channel 211 can extend to the outside through the corresponding transition channels and outlet.

[0063] The first sliding member 22 and the second sliding member 23 are both slidably connected to the box body 21 along the first direction. There is a first reset member 24 between the opposing parts of the two sliding members. Under the reset force of the first reset member 24, the opposing parts of the two sliding members abut against the outer shell 11 respectively. The outer shell 11 limits the two sliding members to prevent the two sliding members from sliding out of the box body 21.

[0064] Both sliding members have their opposing portions exposed outside the housing 21. Pressing against the exposed portion of one sliding member causes it to slide towards the other, while the first reset member 24 accumulates a first reset force. When the force applied to the sliding member is released, the first reset member 24 releases the first reset force, causing the sliding member to reset.

[0065] The first reset element 24 is a spring, and the first reset force is an elastic force.

[0066] It should be noted that the cross surface areas of storage channel 211, transition channel and outlet 212 are the same. When transition channel 221 is fully connected to storage channel 211, the transition channel and storage channel 211 are directly opposite each other. At this time, the atomized material 3 of storage channel 211 can slide into transition channel 221 by the action of drive spring 25.

[0067] When the transition channel 221 is fully connected to the outlet 212, the transition channel 221 and the outlet 212 are directly opposite each other. At this time, the atomized material 3 in the transition channel 221 can extend out of the box 21 through the outlet 212.

[0068] When the transition channel 221 is misaligned with the storage channel 211, the atomized material 3 in the storage channel 211 cannot slide into the transition channel 221.

[0069] When the transition channel 221 is misaligned with the outlet 212, the atomized material 3 in the transition channel 221 cannot extend out of the box 21 through the outlet 212.

[0070] refer to Figure 6In its natural state (without external force acting on the sliders), the transition channels 221 of both sliders are fully connected to the corresponding storage channels 211. The atomized material 3 in both storage channels 211 can slide into the corresponding transition channels 221 by the pressure of the corresponding drive springs 25. At the same time, both transition channels 221 are misaligned with the corresponding outlets 212. After the atomized material 3 slides into the transition channels 221, it is stuck at the edge of the outlet 212 of the outer shell 11.

[0071] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 When one of the sliding members, such as the first sliding member 22, is pressed, the first sliding member 22 slides toward the second sliding member 23, while simultaneously pressing against the first reset member 24 to accumulate a first reset force. When the first sliding member 22 slides until its transition channel 221 is fully connected to the corresponding outlet 212, the atomized material 3 stored in the transition channel 221 of the first sliding member 22 can extend out from the corresponding outlet 212. At this time, the previous atomized material 3 adjacent to the extended atomized material 3 slides toward the first sliding member 22 until it abuts against the first sliding member 22 under the pressure of the drive spring 25. When the force on the first sliding member 22 is released, the first reset member 24 releases the first reset force, causing the first sliding member 22 to reset, and the transition channel 221 of the first sliding member 22 is fully connected to the corresponding storage channel 211, and the adjacent previous atomized material 3 slides into the transition channel 221. By repeating this cycle, multiple atomized materials 3 can be taken out one by one.

[0072] The aforementioned storage box 2 is installed in the control shell 1. When the storage box 2 is installed in the control shell 1, the first sliding member 22 abuts against the drive member 13 of the control shell 1. When the user needs to remove the atomized material 3, they can manually press the control member 16 at the top of the control shell 1 to drive the drive member 13 to slide forward and press against the first sliding member 22 until the atomized material 3 stored in the transition channel 221 of the first sliding member 22 extends out. After the user removes the atomized material 3, they release the control member 16, and the control member 16, drive member 13, and first sliding member 22 all return to their original positions. The next atomized material 3 in the storage channel 211 slides into the transition channel 221 of the first sliding member 22. When the control member 16 is pressed again, the next atomized material 3 can extend out again. This cycle continues until all the atomized materials 3 in the corresponding storage channel 211 of the first sliding member 22 are removed.

[0073] When all the atomized material in the storage channel 211 corresponding to the first slider 22 has been removed, the storage box 2 can be removed from the control shell 1. The storage box 2 can then be rotated 180° so that the second slider 23 faces the drive member 13, and the storage box 2 can be installed back onto the control shell 1. By repeatedly pressing the control member 16, the drive member 13 slides forward, pressing against the second slider 23, until the atomized material 3 stored in the transition channel 221 within the second slider 23 extends out. The principle is the same as described above, until all the atomized material 3 in the storage channel 211 corresponding to the second slider 23 is removed.

[0074] The present invention also provides a method of using a storage device, which enables the atomized materials stored in the storage device to be quickly and individually removed.

[0075] This method of use employs the aforementioned storage device. Specifically, the method of use includes the following steps:

[0076] Slide the movable plug 17 relative to the outer casing 11 to open the discharge hole 111.

[0077] Manually pressing the control element 16 causes it to slide along the second direction toward the third reset element 15. The control element 16 presses against the third reset element 15 to accumulate a third reset force. At the same time, the control element 16 drives the slide rod 14 to slide along the second direction toward the drive element 13. The slide rod 14 presses against the guide protrusion 131 of the drive element 13, causing the drive element 13 to slide forward along the first direction. The drive element 13 presses against the first sliding element 22, causing the first sliding element 22 to slide toward the second sliding element 23. The first sliding element 22 presses against the first reset element 24, causing the first reset element 24 to accumulate a first reset force. At the same time, the transition channel 221 of the first sliding element 22 is misaligned with the corresponding storage channel 211 until the transition channel 221 is fully connected to the outlet 212. The atomized material located in the transition channel 221 can slide out to the outside through the outlet 212 and the discharge hole 111 in sequence for the user to pick up.

[0078] After the atomized material is picked up, the control unit 16 is released, and the first reset unit 24 releases the first reset force to drive the first slider 22 to slide in the opposite direction, so that the transition channel 221 of the first slider 22 is fully connected with the corresponding storage channel 211. The next atomized material in the storage channel 211 slides into the transition channel 221, and the transition channel is misaligned with the outlet to restrict the next atomized material from sliding out of the outlet 212.

[0079] Press the control element 16 again to allow the next atomized material to slide out through the outlet 212 and the outlet hole 111 in sequence. Repeat the above steps to remove all the atomized material from the storage channel 211 corresponding to the first slider 22.

[0080] Disassemble the storage box 2 from the control shell 1, flip the storage box 2 180° and then reconnect it to the control shell 1. Repeat the above steps to remove all the atomized material corresponding to the storage channel 211 of the second slider 23.

[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above 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.

[0082] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, substitutions, and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the claims.
