DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on the present application.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the directions or positional relationships of "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "left", and "right" are based on the attached Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 5 And attached Figure 6 Regarding the orientation or positional relationship shown, it should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0052] An aerosol generating device is a device used to atomize an aerosol generating product to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0053] In the related art, when the aerosol generating device heats the aerosol generating product, it will heat the paper surrounding the aerosol generating product. When the heating temperature is too high, the overheated paper will produce odor (paper odor), affecting the user's smoking experience. However, if an aerosol generating product without paper or wrapped in aluminum foil is used, the aerosol generating product is easy to stick to the inside of the aerosol generating device after heating, thereby affecting the user's replacement of the aerosol generating product.

[0054] In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides an aerosol generating device on the one hand, the aerosol generating device includes a shell component and a cover component, the shell component is provided with a receiving chamber for receiving an aerosol generating product, the receiving chamber has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other, and an opening is provided on the second side of the receiving chamber; the cover component is rotatably provided on the shell component; the cover component is configured to have an open state and a closed state, and the cover component can be switched from the closed state to the open state by flipping, and drive the aerosol generating product to move from the first side of the receiving chamber to the second side of the receiving chamber. The aerosol generating device of the embodiment of the present application can be turned over to open the cover component when the aerosol generating product needs to be replaced. When the cover component is in the open state, the aerosol generating product is closer to the outside of the receiving chamber, so that the user can take out the aerosol generating product in the receiving chamber through the opening, so as to more conveniently replace the new aerosol generating product. At the same time, the aerosol generating product is controlled by the cover component in linkage, which is simple to operate and more convenient for users to use.

[0055] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 4 The aerosol generating device 100 includes a shell component 10. The shell component 10 can be understood as the main body of the aerosol generating device 100, and the aerosol generating article 200 can be disposed in the shell component 10 and atomized in the shell component 10 to generate an aerosol.

[0057] Specifically, the housing assembly 10 is provided with a housing cavity 10a, and the housing cavity 10a is used to accommodate the aerosol generating product 200. That is, the aerosol generating product 200 is atomized in the housing cavity 10a.

[0058] The receiving chamber 10a has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and an opening 112a is provided on the second side of the receiving chamber 10a. It is understood that the opening 112a is connected to the receiving chamber 10a, and the aerosol generating article 200 can be placed in or removed from the receiving chamber 10a through the opening 112a.

[0059] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the aerosol generating product 200 is in a solid form.

[0060] The structure of the aerosol generating article 200 is not limited. The aerosol generating article 200 may include a functional segment and an aerosol generating substrate, wherein the functional segment is disposed at one end of the aerosol generating substrate along the length direction.

[0061] It should be noted that the aerosol generating product 200 generates aerosol by relying on the aerosol generating substrate, and the functional section does not generate aerosol.

[0062] The functional section may include a cooling section for cooling the aerosol to reduce the temperature of the aerosol and improve the "hot mouth" phenomenon when the user inhales the aerosol. The functional section may also include a supporting section, which has a certain structural strength and has an axial limiting effect on the aerosol generating matrix. The functional section may also include a filtering section to filter the aerosol.

[0063] The aerosol generating article 200 may further include an outer wrapping layer, which wraps around the functional section and the outer peripheral side of the aerosol generating substrate. Of course, the aerosol generating article 200 may also not have an outer wrapping layer. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, an aerosol generating article 200 without an outer wrapping layer is used as an example for illustration.

[0064] The material of the aerosol-generating substrate is not limited. Exemplarily, the aerosol-generating substrate includes, but is not limited to, medicines, materials containing nicotine, or materials not containing nicotine, etc.

[0065] In one example, the aerosol generating substrate is provided with a macroscopic internal airflow channel, and the aerosol generating substrate can be made by extrusion, die casting, etc., and the internal airflow channel can be directly formed by extrusion, die casting, etc. Of course, the aerosol generating substrate can also have microscopic vents, which is not limited here.

[0066] The shape of the aerosol generating article 200 is not limited. For example, the cross section of the aerosol generating article 200 on a plane perpendicular to its axial direction can be one of a circular shape, a polygonal shape, an elliptical shape, a racetrack shape, and the like.

[0067] Among them, the runway shape refers to a shape similar to an athletics track, which is composed of two semicircles and two parallel straight sides alternately connected.

[0068] It should be noted that the maximum outer contour size of the cross section may be between 6 mm and 7.3 mm, for example, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.3 mm, etc.

[0069] The length of the aerosol generating article 200 is not limited. For example, it can be between 8 mm and 15 mm, for example, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, etc.

[0070] The shape and size of the accommodating chamber 10a are not limited. Exemplarily, the size of the accommodating chamber 10a is designed to be slightly larger than the size of the aerosol generating article 200. In this way, a gap can be formed between the aerosol generating article 200 and the cavity wall of the accommodating chamber 10a, and the airflow reaching the opening 112a can pass through the gap to the side of the accommodating chamber 10a away from the opening 112a, and flow through the interior of the aerosol generating article 200, thereby taking away the aerosol generated by the atomization of the aerosol generating article 200 for inhalation by the user.

[0071] The aerosol generating device 100 further includes a cover assembly 20, which is rotatably disposed on the shell assembly 10. That is, a user can operate the cover assembly 20 to rotate it relative to the shell assembly 10.

[0072] The cover assembly 20 is configured to have an open state and a closed state. The cover assembly 20 can be switched from the closed state to the open state by flipping, and drives the aerosol generating article 200 to move from the first side of the accommodating cavity 10a to the second side of the accommodating cavity 10a.

[0073] Specifically, the first side of the accommodating cavity 10a is the bottom side of the accommodating cavity 10a, and the second side of the accommodating cavity 10a is the top side of the accommodating cavity 10a. Of course, the bottom side of the accommodating cavity 10a does not mean that the accommodating cavity 10a must have a bottom cover. The accommodating cavity 10a may have a bottom cover or may not have a bottom cover, which is not limited here.

[0074] It should be noted that the cover assembly 20 can also be switched from the open state to the closed state by flipping.

[0075] The first side of the cover assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the first side of the shell assembly 10. The second side of the cover assembly 20 rotates around the first side of the cover assembly 20, that is, flipping.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the first side and the second side of any component are regarded as two opposite sides of the component.

[0077] It can be understood that rotation has two rotation directions, namely, clockwise and counterclockwise. In the embodiment of the present application, the side on which the cover assembly 20 and the shell assembly 10 are rotatably connected is taken as the right side for illustration. That is, the first side of the cover assembly 20 is the right side, and the second side of the cover assembly 20 is the left side. The cover assembly 20 is flipped clockwise to switch from the closed state to the open state, and the cover assembly 20 is flipped counterclockwise to switch from the open state to the closed state.

[0078] It can be understood that the cover assembly 20 reaches the open state when it is flipped clockwise to the extreme position, and reaches the closed state when it is flipped counterclockwise to the extreme position.

[0079] It should be noted that the extreme position of flipping in a certain direction refers to a position where the device cannot be flipped further in that direction.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the cover assembly 20 is in a closed state, the cover assembly 20 is disposed above the opening 112a, and the cover assembly 20 can limit the aerosol generating product 200 in the accommodating cavity 10a. In this way, the aerosol generating product 200 can be limited to the accommodating cavity 10a and atomized to obtain an aerosol.

[0081] When the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, the second side of the cover assembly 20 is separated from the second side of the shell assembly 10, so that the accommodating chamber 10a can be exposed to the outside through the opening 112a. At the same time, the aerosol generating product 200 moves along the first side of the accommodating chamber 10a toward the second side of the accommodating chamber 10a, so that the aerosol generating product 200 is closer to the outside. This makes it convenient for the user to take out the used aerosol generating product 200 from the accommodating chamber 10a. At the same time, the new aerosol generating product 200 can be placed into the accommodating chamber 10a through the opening 112a, so that the aerosol generating product 200 can be replaced more conveniently.

[0082] It is understandable that when the user needs to replace the aerosol generating product 200, the user only needs to switch the cover assembly 20 from the closed state to the open state, and the cover assembly 20 is linked to control the aerosol generating product 200 to be pushed out. This structure is simple to operate and convenient for the user to operate. It should be noted that when the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, the relative position relationship between the aerosol generating product 200 and the accommodating chamber 10a is not limited. For example, when the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, the aerosol generating product 200 is still completely located in the accommodating chamber 10a, but compared with the closed state, the aerosol generating product 200 is closer to the opening 112a. In this embodiment, the user can take out the aerosol generating product 200 by reaching into the accommodating chamber 10a or using some tools.

[0083] For another example, the cover assembly 20 is switched from the closed state to the open state to drive at least a portion of the aerosol generating product 200 to move out of the accommodating chamber 10a through the opening 112a. In other words, when the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, at least a portion of the aerosol generating product 200 is located outside the accommodating chamber 10a, so that it is more convenient for the user to replace the aerosol generating product 200 by hand.

[0084] It should be noted that the lid assembly 20 switches between the closed state and the open state and drives the aerosol generating article 200 to move from the first side of the accommodating chamber 10a to the second side of the accommodating chamber 10a in any manner. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The aerosol generating device 100 further includes a driving assembly 30 drivingly connected to the cover assembly 20. The cover assembly 20 can drive the driving assembly 30 to move by flipping, and the driving assembly 30 drives the aerosol generating product 200 to move in the accommodating chamber 10a by moving.

[0085] Specifically, when the cover assembly 20 switches from a closed state to an open state, it can drive the driving assembly 30 to move. The driving assembly 30 can push the aerosol generating product 200 to generate a certain displacement in the accommodating chamber 10a by contacting the aerosol generating product 200 and other means.

[0086] In this embodiment, the driving component 30 can provide a certain force to the aerosol generating product 200, so that the aerosol generating product 200 adhered to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a can be released from the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a, and continue to move the aerosol generating product 200 in the accommodating cavity 10a under the action of the driving component 30.

[0087] It is understandable that, when the cover assembly 20 is switched from a closed state to an open state, the drive assembly 30 will invade the accommodating chamber 10a and occupy the space originally used to accommodate the aerosol generating product 200. Therefore, when the cover assembly 20 is switched from an open state to a closed state, the drive assembly 30 can also generate movement to withdraw from the space originally used to accommodate the aerosol generating product 200. In this way, the accommodation of the replaced aerosol generating product 200 in the accommodating chamber 10a will not be affected.

[0088] It can be understood that when an aerosol generating product 200 without being wrapped in paper or aluminum foil is used, even if the heated aerosol generating product 200 is stuck to the wall of the accommodating chamber 10a, the driving component 30 can drive the aerosol generating product 200 to separate from the wall of the accommodating chamber 10a through movement, and can move within the accommodating chamber 10a at the same time. Therefore, the aerosol generating device 100 of this structure can use an aerosol generating matrix 200 without being wrapped in paper or aluminum foil. During the user's inhalation process, no odor (paper odor) will be generated, and the user experience will be better.

[0089] In one embodiment, the cover assembly 20 is switched from a closed state to an open state to drive the driving assembly 30 to move from the first side of the accommodating chamber 10 a to the second side of the accommodating chamber 10 a .

[0090] That is, when the cover assembly 20 switches from the closed state to the open state, the drive assembly 30 moves in the accommodating chamber 10a toward the side close to the opening 112a, thereby driving the aerosol generating product 200 to move in a direction away from the first side of the accommodating chamber 10a.

[0091] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving assembly 30 includes a driving member 31 disposed on a side of the accommodating chamber 10a away from the opening 112a. At least a portion of the driving member 31 can extend into or move out of the accommodating chamber 10a under the action of the cover assembly 20.

[0092] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the force for pushing the aerosol generating article 200 to move in the accommodating chamber 10 a is transmitted to the aerosol generating article 200 via the driving member 31 .

[0093] The driving member 31 is disposed on the side of the containing chamber 10a away from the opening 112a. In some embodiments, when the driving member 31 drives the aerosol generating product 200 to move in the containing chamber 10a, the driving member 31 contacts the end surface of the aerosol generating product 200 away from the opening 112a, so that the force can act on the end surface of the aerosol generating product 200 away from the opening 112a. In this way, the aerosol generating product 200 as a whole is subjected to the force, so that the aerosol generating product 200 as a whole is subjected to the force more evenly, and it is easier to take the aerosol generating product 200 as a whole out of the containing chamber 10a, thereby reducing the risk of residual debris of the aerosol generating product 200 in the containing chamber 10a.

[0094] It should be noted that, in the process of the driving member 31 pushing the aerosol generating product 200 to move in the containing chamber 10a, the contact area between the driving member 31 and the end surface of the aerosol generating product 200 is not limited. For example, the contact area can be made as close as possible to the area of ​​the end surface of the aerosol generating product 200, so that the pressure on the end surface of the aerosol generating product 200 is smaller, thereby reducing the risk of the aerosol generating product 200 being damaged by the force, and further reducing the risk of residual fragments of the aerosol generating product 200 in the containing chamber 10a.

[0095] In some other embodiments, when the driving member 31 drives the aerosol generating article 200 to move in the accommodating chamber 10 a , the driving member 31 may also contact the side wall of the aerosol generating article 200 to push the aerosol generating article 200 to move.

[0096] In some other embodiments, the driving member 31 may not be in contact with the aerosol generating product 200. For example, the aerosol generating product 200 may be driven to move in the accommodating chamber 10a by magnetic force, pneumatic force, or the like.

[0097] It should be noted that the material of the driving member 31 is not limited. Since at least a portion of the driving member 31 needs to intrude into the accommodating cavity 10a, it can be made of high temperature resistant plastic such as PPSU, PEEK or PPA.

[0098] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shell assembly 10 has a guide channel 13a connected to the accommodating chamber 10a, and the guide channel 13a is arranged on the side of the accommodating chamber 10a away from the outlet 112a. At least a part of the driving member 31 is movably arranged in the guide channel 13a, and the cover assembly 20 can drive at least a part of the driving member 31 to reciprocate along the guide channel 13a by flipping.

[0099] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the axial direction of the guide channel 13a is parallel to the direction of the center line of the opening 112a. When the lid assembly 20 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the driving member 31 moves toward the end close to the opening 112a through the axial direction of the guide channel 13a, and at least a portion of the driving member 31 can penetrate into the accommodating chamber 10a and push the aerosol generating article 200 to move along its own axial direction. The aerosol generating article 200 can move to a position closer to the opening 112 or at least a portion can move out of the accommodating chamber 10a through the opening 112a.

[0100] The guide channel 13a can provide a certain guiding effect for the driving member 31, so that the direction of the force transmitted by the driving member 31 to the aerosol generating product 200 is continuously parallel to the axial direction of the aerosol generating product 200, thereby reducing the risk of the aerosol generating product 200 being scratched against the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a during the process of moving from the first side of the accommodating cavity 10a to the second side of the accommodating cavity 10a, and residual debris in the accommodating cavity 10a.

[0101] The shape of the guide channel 13a is not limited. In some embodiments, it can be designed as a cylindrical shape. At the same time, a part of the driving member 31 disposed in the guide channel 13a can also be designed as a cylindrical shape that matches the guide channel 13a. In this way, when this part of the driving member 31 reciprocates in the guide channel 13a, it is not easy to interfere with the peripheral wall of the guide channel 13a, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the driving member 31.

[0102] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving assembly 30 further includes a third sealing member 37 , which is sandwiched between the peripheral wall of the guide channel 13 a and the driving member 31 .

[0103] It is understandable that the guide channel 13a is connected to the accommodating chamber 10a, and the aerosol generated by atomization in the accommodating chamber 10a may flow out through the gap between the peripheral wall of the guide channel 13a and the driving member 31. The third sealing member 37 can have a certain sealing effect on the gap between the peripheral wall of the guide channel 13a and the driving member 31, thereby reducing the risk of the aerosol diffusing into the interior of the aerosol generating device 100 through the gap between the guide channel 13a and the driving member 31 and affecting the life of other components.

[0104] The material of the third sealing member 37 is not limited. For example, it can be made of high temperature resistant silicone.

[0105] It should be noted that the cover assembly 20 drives at least part of the driving member 31 to reciprocate through the guide channel 13a by turning over. Exemplarily, the driving member 30 also includes a connecting member 32, and the two ends of the connecting member 32 are respectively connected to the cover assembly 20 and the driving member 31, so that the linkage between the two can be achieved.

[0106] The connection between the connecting member 32 and the cover assembly 20 and the driving member 31 is not limited. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The opposite ends of the connecting member 32 are rotatably connected to the driving member 31 and the cover assembly 20 respectively.

[0107] Specifically, the cover assembly 20 flips to drive the connecting member 32 to rotate around the first side of the cover assembly 20. During this process, the motion trajectory of any point on the connecting member 32 is an arc with the first side of the cover assembly 20 as the center. Since the connecting member 32 is rotatably connected to the cover assembly 20 and the driving member 31 respectively, the angle between the connecting member 32 and the driving member 31 or the cover assembly 20 can be changed.

[0108] Under the limitation of the guide channel 13a, a part of the arc-shaped displacement of the connecting member 32 can be decomposed into the displacement generated by driving the driving member 31 to move axially through the guide channel 13a. At the same time, the connecting member 32 can rotate around the cover assembly 20 and the driving member 31 respectively, thereby eliminating the other part of the arc-shaped displacement through the displacement generated by its own posture change.

[0109] In some other embodiments, at least one of the driving member 31 and the cover assembly 20 is movably connected to the connecting member 32 .

[0110] It should be noted that the movable connection between the two means that one of them can produce relative displacement on the other.

[0111] Specifically, the following example is taken in which one end of the connecting member 32 is rotatably connected to the driving member 31 and the other end is fixedly connected to the cover assembly 20 .

[0112] The cover assembly 20 is turned over to drive the end of the connecting member 32 close to the driving member 31 to rotate around the first side of the cover assembly 20. In this process, the movement trajectory of the end of the connecting member 32 close to the driving member 31 is an arc shape with the first side of the cover assembly 20 as the center. Under the limitation of the guide channel 13a, a part of the arc displacement of the connecting member 32 can be decomposed into a displacement generated by driving the axial movement of the driving member 31 through the guide channel 13a. At the same time, the connecting member 32 generates a relative movement on the driving member 31, thereby eliminating another part of the arc displacement.

[0113] The shape of the connecting member 32 is not limited. For example, it can be a bent rod, and the connecting member 32 in the shape of a bent rod has better structural strength.

[0114] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The driving assembly 30 further includes a first elastic member 33, which is used to provide a driving force to drive the driving member 31 to move toward the side of the opening 112a through the guide channel 13a.

[0115] The type of the first elastic member 33 is not limited, for example, it can be a spring or other products made of materials capable of generating restorable elastic deformation.

[0116] In this embodiment, the driving force for pushing the driving member 31 to move along the guide channel 13a toward the side of the opening 112a is provided by the first elastic member 33. At the same time, through the connecting member 32, the driving force provided by the first elastic member 33 can also help push the cover assembly 20 to flip to the open state, so that the user feels better when switching the cover assembly 20 to the open state.

[0117] Specifically, when the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, the first elastic member 33 generates elastic deformation, and the aerosol generating product 200 is abutted against the cover assembly 20 through the driving member 31. In the process of switching the cover assembly 20 to the open state, the cover assembly 20 cancels the limit on the aerosol generating product 200. In this way, the first elastic member 33 restores the elastic deformation and gives the driving member 31 an axial driving force along the guide channel 13a. The driving member 31 then transmits the driving force to the aerosol generating product 200. The driving force can release the bonding relationship between the aerosol generating product 200 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a, and enable the aerosol generating product 200 to move along the first side of the accommodating cavity 10a to the second side of the accommodating cavity 10a, and even enable the aerosol generating product 200 to at least partially leave the accommodating cavity 10a through the opening 112a, thereby facilitating user replacement.

[0118] Furthermore, under the action of the connecting member 32, the driving force is transmitted to the cover assembly 20 via the connecting member 32, thereby driving the cover assembly 20 to continue to flip to the open state. During the process of the cover assembly 20 switching to the open state, it can be driven by the driving force of the first elastic member 33, so that the cover assembly 20 feels better when flipping.

[0119] It can be understood that, in the open state, the first elastic member 33 may still be in a state of elastic deformation, that is, the first elastic member 33 can continue to provide driving force. At this time, the first elastic member 33 transmits the driving force to the cover assembly 20 via the connecting member 32, so that the cover assembly 20 can be maintained in the open state. In this way, the user does not need to manually keep the cover assembly 20 in the open state, thereby making it more convenient to replace the aerosol generating product 200.

[0120] Of course, when the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, the first elastic member 33 can also be in a critical state, that is, it just does not produce elastic deformation. The first elastic member 33 can also keep the cover assembly 20 in the open state by maintaining its critical state.

[0121] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving assembly 30 also includes a mounting seat 34 arranged on the shell assembly 10, one of the driving member 31 and the mounting seat 34 is provided with a guide column 34a, and the other is provided with a guide groove 311a, and the guide column 34a is arranged in the guide groove 311a and can reciprocate along the guide groove 311a.

[0122] The mounting seat 34 can be understood as the mounting base of the driving member 31. At the same time, through the cooperation of the guide column 34a and the guide groove 311a, the movement direction of the driving member 31 can be further restricted, so that the driving member 31 can stably move along the axial direction of the guide channel 13a and push the aerosol generating product 200 along the axial direction of the aerosol generating product 200.

[0123] The shape of the guide post 34a is not limited, and can be, for example, cylindrical, prism-shaped, etc.

[0124] The shape of the guide groove 311 a may be designed to match the shape of the guide post 34 a .

[0125] The number of guide posts 34a is not limited. The number of guide slots 311a corresponds to the number of guide posts 34a. For example, the number of guide posts 34a and guide slots 311a is two or more, and the two or more guide posts 34a and guide slots 311a cooperate to make the limiting relationship between the mounting seat 34 and the driving member 31 more reliable.

[0126] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The driving member 31 is provided with a guide groove 311a, and the mounting seat 34 is provided with a guide column 34a. The guide column 34a has a mounting groove 34b inside. The mounting groove 34b is connected to the guide groove 311a, and the mounting groove 34b is used to install the first elastic member 33.

[0127] In this embodiment, the two ends of the first elastic member 33 are connected to the bottom of the installation groove 34b and the bottom of the guide groove 311a respectively. The installation groove 34b can facilitate the installation of the first elastic member 33, and at the same time form a certain limit effect on the first elastic member 33, so that it can produce elastic deformation along its axial direction as much as possible, reducing the risk of its distortion under force, so that the first elastic member 33 can provide the driving force to the driving member 31 more stably along the axial direction of the guide channel 13a.

[0128] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The driving member 31 includes a support body 311 and a driving column 312 arranged on one side of the support body 311, and at least a portion of the driving column 312 is movably arranged in the guide channel 13a; a guide groove 311a is arranged on the side of the support body 311 away from the driving column 312, and a connecting position 311b is arranged on the side of the support body 311 facing the driving column 312, and one end of the connecting member 32 is connected to the connecting position 311b.

[0129] In this embodiment, the support body 311 is the main structure of the driving member 31 , the driving column 312 is used to transmit the driving force to the aerosol generating product 200 , and the connecting position 311 b can facilitate the connection between the connecting member 32 and the driving member 31 .

[0130] The shape of the support 311 is not limited, and may be, for example, a flat plate.

[0131] The connection position 311 b may be a protrusion formed by protruding from the surface of the support body 311 .

[0132] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The aerosol generating device 100 also includes a first rotating shaft 40, and one side of the cover assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the shell assembly 10 via the first rotating shaft 40; the driving assembly 30 includes a second rotating shaft 35 and a third rotating shaft 36, one end of the connecting member 32 is rotatably connected to the cover assembly 20 via the second rotating shaft 35, and the other end is rotatably connected to the driving member 31 via the third rotating shaft 36.

[0133] The types of the first rotating shaft 40, the second rotating shaft 35 and the third rotating shaft 36 are not limited, and they may be pins, for example.

[0134] The first rotating shaft 40 , the second rotating shaft 35 and the third rotating shaft 36 can facilitate the rotatable connection between the connecting member 32 and the cover assembly 20 or the driving member 31 .

[0135] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The line between the rotation center of the second rotating shaft 35 and the rotation center of the third rotating shaft 36 is defined as the critical line Z. When the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 and the accommodating chamber 10a are located on the same side of the critical line Z. When the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 and the accommodating chamber 10a are respectively located on opposite sides of the critical line Z.

[0136] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the cover assembly 20 is switched between the closed state and the open state, the relative posture of the critical line Z also changes.

[0137] For the convenience of description, an example is given in which the cover assembly 20 is in an open state and the side where the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 is located is the right side of the critical line Z.

[0138] The distance between the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 and the rotation center of the third rotating shaft 36 is the first distance, the distance between the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 and the rotation center of the second rotating shaft 35 is the second distance, and the distance between the rotation center of the second rotating shaft 35 and the rotation center of the third rotating shaft 36 is the third distance.

[0139] It can be understood that in this embodiment, when the cover assembly 20 switches between the open state and the closed state, the sum of the second distance and the third distance will never be less than the first distance. When the cover assembly 20 switches so that the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 is located on the critical line Z, the sum of the second distance and the third distance is equal to the first distance.

[0140] When the cover assembly 20 switches between the closed state and the open state, the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 is relatively fixed. By making the two ends of the connecting member 32 rotate around the cover assembly 20 and the driving member 31 respectively to change the direction of the critical line Z, the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 can be changed relative to the orientation of the critical line Z.

[0141] The process of switching the cover assembly 20 from a closed state to an open state includes: a first process in which the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 moves from the left side of the critical line Z to a position on the critical line Z, and a second process in which the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 moves from a position on the critical line Z to a position on the right side of the critical line Z.

[0142] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 does not mean that it actually moves, but is a relative displacement with reference to the critical line Z. In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the direction of the critical line Z is actually changing, while the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 does not move.

[0143] In the first process, the first distance gradually increases, and the driving member 31 moves to the side away from the opening 112a through the guide channel 13a under the action of the connecting member 32, thereby compressing the first elastic member 33. When the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 is located on the critical line Z, the driving member 31 moves to the extreme position to the side away from the opening 112a. The cover assembly 20 continues to flip and enters the second process. At this time, the first elastic member 33 will not be subjected to the force in the direction of the guide channel 13a to the side away from the opening 112a. In this way, the first elastic member 33 can push the driving member 31 to move to the side close to the opening 112a through the guide channel 13a, and push the aerosol generating product 200 to move. At the same time, the driving force provided by the first elastic member 33 can be transmitted to the second rotating shaft 35 through the connecting member 32, thereby pushing the second rotating shaft 35 to rotate clockwise around the first rotating shaft 40, thereby helping the cover assembly 20 to flip to the open state and keep the cover assembly 20 in the open state.

[0144] The process of switching the cover assembly 20 from the open state to the closed state includes: a third process in which the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 moves from the right side of the critical line Z to the critical line Z, and a fourth process in which the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 moves from the critical line Z to the left side of the critical line Z.

[0145] In the third process, the first distance gradually increases, and the driving member 31 moves to the side away from the opening 112a through the guide channel 13a under the action of the connecting member 32, thereby compressing the first elastic member 33, so that the driving member 31 withdraws from the space for accommodating the aerosol generating product 200. When the rotation center of the first rotating shaft 40 is located on the critical line Z, the driving member 31 moves to the extreme position to the side away from the opening 112a. The cover assembly 20 continues to flip and enters the fourth process. At this time, the first elastic member 33 will not be subjected to the force along the guide channel 13a to the side away from the opening 112a. The first elastic member 33 can push the driving member 31 to move to the side close to the opening 112a through the guide channel 13a, so that the aerosol generating product 200 can abut against the cover assembly 20. In this way, when the cover assembly 20 is provided with an airflow conducting path, a certain sealing effect can be formed on the airflow conducting path, so that the airflow reaching the opening 112a can flow into the gap between the aerosol generating product 200 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a as much as possible. At the same time, the driving force provided by the first elastic member 33 can be transmitted to the second rotating shaft 35 through the connecting member 32, thereby pushing the second rotating shaft 35 to rotate counterclockwise around the first rotating shaft 40, thereby helping the cover assembly 20 to flip to the closed state and enable the cover assembly 20 to remain in the closed state.

[0146] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the cover assembly 20 is in a closed state, the driving assembly 30 can apply a first torque to the cover assembly 20, and the side of the cover assembly 20 away from the first rotating shaft 40 abuts against the shell assembly 10 under the action of the first torque. When the cover assembly 20 is in an open state, the driving assembly 30 can apply a second torque to the cover assembly 20. The first torque and the second torque can be used to drive the cover assembly 20 to rotate in two opposite directions around the first rotating shaft 40, respectively.

[0147] The first torque can be used to keep the cover assembly 20 in a closed state, so that the cover assembly 20 has better sealing performance and reduces the possibility of air leakage during use of the aerosol generating device 100. At the same time, when the cover assembly 20 is switched from an open state to a closed state, the first torque can drive the cover assembly 20 to flip counterclockwise, thereby assisting the cover assembly 20 to flip to a closed state.

[0148] The second torque can keep the cover assembly 20 in the open state, making it more convenient for the user to replace the aerosol generating product 200; at the same time, when the cover assembly 20 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the second torque can drive the cover assembly 20 to flip clockwise, thereby assisting the cover assembly 20 to flip to the open state.

[0149] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The shell assembly 10 includes a shell 11, a heating tube 12 and a seat body 13. The shell 11 is provided with a receiving space 11a and an opening 112a. The seat body 13 is arranged in the receiving space 11a and connected to the shell 11. One end of the heating tube 12 is communicated with the opening 112a, and the other end is arranged on the seat body 13 and defines a receiving cavity 10a with the seat body 13. The cover assembly 20 is rotatably arranged on the shell 11.

[0150] At least a portion of the housing 11 may serve as the exterior appearance of the aerosol generating device 100 , and the accommodating space 11 a may facilitate the arrangement of the base 13 and the heating tube 12 .

[0151] The material of the heating tube 12 is not limited. For example, it can be stainless steel or a quartz tube. The heating tube 12 is used to heat the aerosol generating product 200 and generate aerosol. In other words, the aerosol generating product 200 of the embodiment of the present application is heated circumferentially.

[0152] The heating technology of the heating tube 12 is not limited, for example, it can be electromagnetic induction heating or resistance heating.

[0153] The seat body 13 is provided with the guide channel 13 a mentioned above.

[0154] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The shell 11 includes an outer shell 111 and a connecting cover 112. The outer shell 111 is provided with an opening 111a. The connecting cover 112 is arranged at the opening 111a and defines a receiving space 11a with the outer shell 111. The opening 112a is arranged on the connecting cover 112. The cover assembly 20 is rotatably arranged on the outer shell 111 and / or the connecting cover 112.

[0155] By connecting the cover 112 and the shell 111, the forming of the accommodating space 11a can be facilitated, thereby reducing the difficulty of the production process of the shell 11 and improving the production efficiency.

[0156] Furthermore, the mounting base 34 of the driving assembly 30 is arranged in the accommodating space 11a and connected to the outer shell 111, that is, the outer shell 111 is the mounting base of the aerosol generating device 100, and the base body 13 is also connected to the outer shell 111. Both ends of the heating tube 12 are arranged on the connecting cover 112 and the base body 13, thereby achieving fixation.

[0157] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first side of the cover assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the first side of the shell assembly 10, the second side of the shell assembly 10 is provided with a closing portion 112b, and the second side of the cover assembly 20 and the closing portion 112b are detachably provided.

[0158] Specifically, when the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, the second side of the cover assembly 20 is attached to the closing portion 112b, and when the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, the second side of the cover assembly 20 is separated from the closing portion 112b. In the closed state, the closing portion 112b can make the second side of the cover assembly 20 and the second side of the shell assembly 10 fit better, which can improve the sealing effect of the aerosol generating device 100. At the same time, the second side of the cover assembly 20 is detachably arranged from the closing portion 112b, which will not affect the switch of the cover assembly 20 to the open state.

[0159] When the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, the second side of the cover assembly 20 and the closing portion 112b are attached in any manner. In some embodiments, a fastening connection or the like may be adopted.

[0160] In some other embodiments, the second side of the cover assembly 20 and the closing portion 112b may simply be in contact with each other.

[0161] For some other embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cover assembly 20 includes a first clamping portion 21 and an outer cover 22. The first side of the outer cover 22 is rotatably connected to the first side of the shell assembly 10. The first clamping portion 21 is arranged on the second side of the outer cover 22. The closing portion 112b is the second clamping portion. When the cover assembly 20 is in a closed state, the first clamping portion 21 is clamped with the second clamping portion.

[0162] The second side of the cover assembly 20 and the closing portion 112b are connected by a snap-fit ​​method, which has a relatively simple structure and is easy to operate, thereby facilitating the switch of the cover assembly 20 between the open state and the closed state.

[0163] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first clamping portion 21 is a clamping buckle 23, the second clamping portion has a clamping surface 112c, the clamping buckle 23 is rotatably connected to the second side of the outer cover 22, and the clamping buckle 23 is separated from or clamped to the clamping surface 112c by rotating relative to the outer cover 22.

[0164] Specifically, when the cover assembly 20 is switched to the closed state, the buckle 23 is engaged with the engaging surface 112 c , and when the cover assembly 20 is switched to the open state, the buckle 23 is separated from the engaging surface 112 c .

[0165] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The cover assembly 20 also includes a second elastic member 24, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the buckle 23 and the outer cover 22. When the outer cover 22 switches from an open state to a closed state, the second elastic member 24 can apply a third torque to the buckle 23 so that the buckle 23 is engaged with the engaging surface 112c.

[0166] The material of the second elastic member 24 is not limited. For example, it can be made of stainless steel or piano wire to provide elastic force so that the buckle 23 can be stably buckled on the clamping surface 112c.

[0167] The specific structure of the buckle 23 is not limited. Exemplarily, the buckle 23 includes a connecting body 231 and an operating end 232 and a clamping end 233 provided at both ends of the connecting body 231. The cover assembly 20 also includes a fourth rotating shaft 26. The connecting body 231 is rotatably connected to the outer cover 22 via the fourth rotating shaft 26. The operating end 232 is connected to the second elastic member 24. The clamping end 233 is used to clamp with the clamping surface 112c.

[0168] When the cover assembly 20 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the operating end 232 can be pressed to rotate the clamping end 233 around the fourth rotation axis 26, thereby separating the clamping end 233 from the clamping surface 112c, and the cover assembly 20 as a whole can be flipped to the open state.

[0169] In the process of switching the cover assembly 20 from the open state to the closed state, the operating end 232 can be pressed to make the clamping end 233 rotate around the fourth rotation axis 26. In this way, the clamping end 233 will not interfere with the second clamping portion in the process of switching the cover assembly 20 to the closed state. At the same time, in the process of pressing the operating end 232, the second elastic member 24 can produce elastic deformation. When the operating end 232 is released, the second elastic member 24 restores the elastic deformation and pushes the clamping end 233 to rotate around the fourth rotation axis 26, so that the clamping end 233 is clamped on the clamping surface 112c. Due to the action of the second elastic member 24, the clamping effect of the clamping end 233 and the clamping surface 112c can be more stable.

[0170] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The shell assembly 10 is provided with a rotation-stopping portion 112d, and the cover assembly 20 is switched from a closed state to an open state, and the rotation-stopping portion 112d is used to stop the cover assembly 20 from rotating.

[0171] By providing the anti-rotation portion 112d, the cover assembly 20 will not overturn during the process of switching from the closed state to the open state. When the anti-rotation portion 112d stops the cover assembly 20 from rotating, the cover assembly 20 is in the open state.

[0172] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The shell assembly 10 includes a shell 111 and a connecting cover 112 . The shell 111 is provided with an opening 111 a . The connecting cover 112 is arranged at the opening 111 a and defines a receiving space 11 a with the shell 111 . The receiving cavity 10 a is arranged in the receiving space 11 a . The opening 112 a is arranged on the connecting cover 112 .

[0173] In this embodiment, the shell assembly 10 may further include a heating tube 12 and a seat body 13 , and the accommodating cavity 10 a is defined and formed by the heating tube 12 and the seat body 13 .

[0174] The cover assembly 20 includes a cover portion 2211 and a connecting portion 2212, one end of the connecting portion 2212 is arranged on the cover portion 2211, and the other end extends into the accommodating space 11a through the opening 111a and is rotatably connected to the shell 111. The connecting portion 2212 rotates relative to the shell 111 so that the cover portion 2211 selectively opens or closes the opening 112a.

[0175] The connecting portion 2212 is rotatably connected to the housing 111 via the first rotating shaft 40 of the aerosol generating device 100 . When the aerosol generating device 100 further includes a driving assembly 30 , the connecting member 32 of the driving assembly 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 2212 via the second rotating shaft 35 of the driving assembly 30 .

[0176] Through the connection portion 2212 , at least a portion of the cover assembly 20 can extend into the accommodating space 11 a and can be linked with the driving assembly 30 of the aerosol generating device 100 .

[0177] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The anti-rotation portion 112d is located on the side of the connecting cover 112 facing the accommodating chamber 10a. When the cover assembly 20 is in the open state, one end of the connecting portion 2212 away from the cover portion 2211 abuts against the anti-rotation portion 112d.

[0178] The abutment structure is relatively simple and has relatively high reliability. After the cover assembly 20 is flipped over and the end of the connecting portion 2212 away from the cover portion 2211 abuts against the anti-rotation portion 112d, the end of the connecting portion 2212 away from the cover portion 2211 can no longer continue to flip in this direction, thereby achieving anti-rotation of the cover assembly 20 and allowing the cover assembly 20 to remain in an open state.

[0179] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The cover assembly 20 includes an outer cover 22, the outer cover 22 includes a body 221 and an air outlet unit 222, the body 221 has a first installation channel 2211a, the air outlet unit 222 has a suction air duct 222a, at least a portion of the air outlet unit 222 is arranged in the first installation channel 2211a, and the suction air duct 222a is connected to the accommodating chamber 10a.

[0180] The material of the body 221 is not limited, and can be, for example, high temperature resistant plastic such as PPSU, PEEK or PPA.

[0181] Specifically, the body 221 is composed of a cover portion 2211 and a connection portion 2212 .

[0182] Furthermore, when the cover assembly 20 further includes a buckle 23 , a fourth rotating shaft 26 and a second elastic member 24 , the body 221 is used to fix and install the buckle 23 , the fourth rotating shaft 26 and the second elastic member 24 .

[0183] The buckle 23 , the fourth rotating shaft 26 and the second elastic member 24 are installed on the second side of the cover portion 2211 of the body 221 . The cover portion 2211 has a first installation channel 2211 a .

[0184] The suction airway 222a is used for the user to inhale the aerosol. It is understandable that when the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, the wall surface of the end edge of the suction airway 222a abuts against the end surface of the aerosol generating product 200 close to the opening 112a, so that a certain sealing effect is formed, and the airflow reaching the opening can enter the gap between the aerosol generating product 200 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a as much as possible, and then flow into the suction airway 222a through the interior of the aerosol generating product 200 and carry the aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0185] The air outlet unit 222 may have a filtering function, that is, the aerosol generating device 100 has a filtering function. In this way, there is no need to add a filtering section to the aerosol generating product 200. Compared with the traditional aerosol generating product 200, the aerosol generating product 200 without paper or aluminum foil wrapping on the outside does not need to design structures such as a roll of paper, a supporting section, a cooling section and a filtering section, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the aerosol generating product 200 and reducing the packaging volume of the aerosol generating product 200.

[0186] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The air outlet unit 222 includes a suction piece 2222 and a sleeve 2221 provided with a second installation channel 2221a. The sleeve 2221 is arranged in the first installation channel 2211a, and part of the suction piece 2222 is arranged in the second installation channel 2221a. The suction piece 2222 and part of the second installation channel 2221a together constitute a suction airway 222a.

[0187] The suction piece 2222 may be a filter, that is, the suction piece 2222 has a filtering function.

[0188] The material of the suction piece 2222 is not limited, for example, it is high temperature resistant plastic PEEK.

[0189] The suction piece 2222 is a component that is in direct contact with the user's oral cavity, and the aerosol enters the user's oral cavity through the suction piece 2222 .

[0190] In this embodiment, the suction piece 2222 does not occupy all the space of the second installation channel 2221a, that is, there is space at one end of the second installation channel 2221a along its axial direction close to the opening 112a. The aerosol flows into this space through the interior of the aerosol generating product 200 and enters the suction piece 2222 through this space for inhalation by the user.

[0191] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The suction piece 2222 and the sleeve 2221 can be integrated into a single part, that is, the air outlet unit 222 is a single part.

[0192] In one embodiment, please refer to the following Figure 1 and Figure 3 The air outlet unit 222 further includes a first sealing member 2223 , which is sandwiched between the peripheral wall of the second installation channel 2221 a and the suction member 2222 .

[0193] The material of the first sealing member 2223 is not limited, and can be, for example, silicone rubber.

[0194] The first sealing member 2223 is used to limit the amount of air entering the suction airway 222a through the gap between the suction member 2222 and the peripheral wall of the second installation channel 2221a. At the same time, it can also provide damping when the suction member 2222 is inserted into the second installation channel 2221a, thereby reducing the risk of the suction member 2222 falling out of the second installation channel 2221a.

[0195] In one embodiment, please refer to the following Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cover assembly 20 further includes a second sealing member 25 , which is disposed between the peripheral wall of the first installation channel 2211 a and the sleeve 2221 , and the second sealing member 25 is located at one end of the sleeve 2221 close to the opening 112 a .

[0196] The material of the second sealing member 25 is not limited, and can be, for example, silicone rubber.

[0197] When the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, the second sealing member 25 abuts against the connection cover 112 of the cover assembly 20, thereby reducing the risk of the airflow reaching the opening 112a flowing out through the gap between the sleeve 2221 and the connection cover 112, so that the airflow reaching the opening 112a can flow into the gap between the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 10a and the aerosol generating article 200 as much as possible. The second sealing member 25 improves the sealing effect of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0198] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an aerosol generating system, including an aerosol generating article 200 and an aerosol generating device 100 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0199] The aerosol generating article 200 is disposed in the containing cavity 10a. The aerosol generating device further comprises a heating element, which is used to heat the aerosol generating article 200 to generate aerosol.

[0200] The type of the heating element is not limited. For example, the heating element is the heating tube 12 in the above embodiment.

[0201] The type of aerosol generating article 200 is not limited. For example, an aerosol generating article 200 without paper or aluminum foil wrapping may be used.
