[0058] The embodiment of the present application provides an adjustment bracket 1 and an aerosol generating device 10, wherein the aerosol generating device 10 is a device for generating aerosol, including but not limited to a detachably connected atomizer 3 and an aerosol generating host 2. The atomizer 3 includes a heating element, a suction nozzle 31 and a liquid storage device, wherein the liquid storage device is used to store a certain aerosol-forming matrix, the suction nozzle 31 is connected to the heating element, and the heating element can generate heat through the principle of resistive heating and act on the aerosol-forming matrix when the battery provides electrical energy to generate aerosol, and the aerosol can be discharged through the suction nozzle 31 and inhaled by the user. The aerosol generating host 2 includes a controller and a battery, wherein the battery is used to provide electrical energy to the heating element, and can be a built-in rechargeable battery (such as a lithium battery, etc.), or can be connected to an external power source through an external power interface to obtain electrical energy. The battery usually also includes some circuit protection devices, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, etc., to ensure that the aerosol generating device 10 operates within a safe voltage and current range; the controller is the part that performs overall regulation of the aerosol generating device 10, and may include a switching circuit or a control system including a microprocessor, which is used to control the switching of the heating element, the heating time, the heating temperature, etc.

[0059] Generally speaking, the atomizer 3 can be installed on the aerosol generating host 2 in a detachable manner to form a complete aerosol generating device 10. At this time, the nozzle 31 formed on the atomizer 3 is always located outside the aerosol generating device 10 and directly contacts the external environment, which has the risk of being contaminated by the external environment. The above structure will affect the user experience to a certain extent.

[0060] In order to improve the above-mentioned problems to at least a certain extent and enhance the user experience, an embodiment of the present application provides an adjustment bracket 1 and also provides an aerosol generating device 10 having the above-mentioned adjustment bracket 1.

[0061] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the aerosol generating device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application when in use. Figure 2 This is a partial structural cross-sectional view of the aerosol generating device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application in a use state. Figure 3 This is a partial structural cross-sectional view of the aerosol generating device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application, when the atomizer 3 and the adjustment bracket 1 are extended. Figure 4 This is a partial structural cross-sectional view of the aerosol generating device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application in a stored state. Figure 5 This is an exploded view of the aerosol generating device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment bracket 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0062] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an adjustment bracket 1 , which is at least used to be installed on an aerosol generating host 2 , and a nozzle 31 can be installed on the aerosol generating host 2 through the adjustment bracket 1 .

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment bracket 1 connects the aerosol generating host 2 and the nozzle 31, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , at this time, the suction nozzle 31 is formed on the atomizer 3. Of course, in other similar embodiments, there is also a situation where the suction nozzle 31 is independently arranged relative to the atomizer 3.

[0064] Specifically, the above-mentioned adjustment bracket 1 has a first end 101 and a second end 102 in the first direction, and the adjustment bracket 1 is slidably connected to the aerosol generating host 2 through the first end 101, and is rotatably connected to the atomizer 3 through the second end 102. The adjustment bracket 1 is configured so that when the adjustment bracket 1 extends to the maximum length relative to the aerosol generating host 2 along the first direction, the mouthpiece 31 can rotate around the second end 102 between the first position and the second position.

[0065] The first position is the position of the nozzle 31 relative to the adjustment bracket 1 in a normal use state. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second position is the position of the suction nozzle 31 relative to the adjustment bracket 1 in the storage state, see Figure 4 By comparison, it can be known that in the first position, the suction nozzle 31 points to the direction of the second end 102 away from the first end 101 , and in the second position, the suction nozzle 31 points to the direction of the second end 102 toward the first end 101 .

[0066] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the nozzle 31 points to the outside of the aerosol generating main unit 2. When the nozzle 31 is located on one side of the atomizer 3 in the first direction, the nozzle 31 points to the end away from the aerosol generating main unit 2 along the first direction; please refer to Figure 4 , the nozzle 31 points to the aerosol generating host 2.

[0067] It should be noted that, as the mouthpiece 31 rotates relative to the adjustment bracket 1 , the adjustment bracket 1 is always located between the mouthpiece 31 and the aerosol generating host 2 .

[0068] In the adjustment bracket 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by setting that the adjustment bracket 1 can slide relative to the aerosol generating main unit 2, and the mouthpiece 31 can rotate around the adjustment bracket 1, the aerosol generating device 10 equipped with the adjustment bracket 1 can rotate the mouthpiece 31 and point it to the aerosol generating main unit 2 during the non-use period, so as to achieve the quick storage of the mouthpiece 31. This structure not only helps to reduce the possibility of the mouthpiece 31 being contaminated in the non-use state, but also has the advantage of simple operation, and can improve the user experience to a certain extent.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 , the adjustment bracket 1 is generally similar to a U-shaped or "匚"-shaped structure, including two guiding arms and a limiting plate connecting the two guiding arms, wherein the two guiding arms are arranged oppositely and extend along the first direction.

[0070] Specifically, the part where the guiding arm is connected to the limiting plate forms the first end 101, and the adjustment bracket 1 is slidably connected to the aerosol generating main unit 2 through the first end 101. The end of the guiding arm facing away from the limiting plate forms the second end 102, and the second end 102 is used for rotatably connecting with the atomizer 3.

[0071] In some embodiments, it can be set that a rotation hole is opened at the end of the guiding arm facing away from the limiting plate. Correspondingly, a rotation shaft that is rotatably connected to the rotation hole protrudes from the outer side wall of the atomizer 3 with the mouthpiece 31 for contacting the guiding arm. The atomizer 3 and the adjustment bracket 1 are rotatably connected through the rotation hole and the rotation shaft in rotational cooperation.

[0072] Specifically, the axes of the above-mentioned rotation hole and rotation shaft coincide, and their axes are perpendicular to the first direction.

[0073] Some outer peripheral side walls of the limiting plate protrude with guiding protrusions 11 in the first direction. Correspondingly, a guiding chute 211 that cooperates with the guiding protrusion 11 is opened on the part of the aerosol generating main unit 2 for cooperating with the limiting plate. The limiting plate is detachably connected to the aerosol generating main unit 2 through the guiding protrusion 11 and the guiding chute 211 in sliding cooperation.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , the above-mentioned guiding chute 211 is formed on the inner side wall of the housing 21 of the aerosol generating main unit 2.

[0075] Specifically, the guiding chute 211 is a strip-shaped groove extending along the first direction.

[0076] It should be noted that in order to limit the adjustment bracket 1 and prevent the adjustment bracket 1 from falling off the aerosol generating main unit 2 during the process of extending relative to the aerosol generating main unit 2 in the first direction, a certain distance is provided between the above-mentioned guiding chute 211 and the end of the aerosol generating main unit 2 in the first direction.

[0077] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application further provides an aerosol generating device 10 having the above-mentioned adjusting bracket 1, and the aerosol generating device 10 further includes an aerosol generating host 2, the aerosol generating host 2 having a shell 21, and a guide slot 211 formed on the inner side wall of the shell 21. The adjusting bracket 1 can be slidably connected to the aerosol generating host 2 through a guide protrusion 11 formed at the first end 101, so that the second end 102 of the adjusting bracket 1 can be extended or retracted relative to the shell 21.

[0078] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 At this time, the second end 102 of the adjusting bracket 1 is located inside the housing 21. Figure 3 At this time, the second end 102 of the adjusting bracket 1 extends out of the outer shell 21 .

[0079] When the second end 102 of the adjusting bracket 1 is located in the housing 21, the housing 21 can provide a certain limit to the atomizer 3 installed at the second end 102 of the adjusting bracket 1 and restrict the atomizer 3 from rotating. Figure 2 After the second end 102 of the adjusting bracket 1 extends sufficiently far relative to the housing 21, the atomizer 3 extends far enough relative to the housing 21 to escape the limiting effect of the housing 21. Please refer to Figure 3 At this time, the atomizer 3 can rotate around the axis of the rotation shaft to adjust the direction of the nozzle 31 to point to the aerosol generating host 2, and then the adjustment bracket 1 can be controlled to return to the initial position along the first direction, see Figure 4 The nozzle 31 can be inserted into the housing 21 of the aerosol generating host 2 under the drive of the adjusting bracket 1 and protected by the housing 21 to isolate it from the external environment.

[0080] Considering that the adjustment bracket 1 can be extended or retracted along the first direction relative to the aerosol generating host 2, in order to limit the above-mentioned adjustment bracket 1, the aerosol generating device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a fixing bracket 22, a locking assembly 23 and an adjustment switch 24, see Figure 5 .

[0081] The fixed bracket 22 is fixedly disposed in the housing 21 of the aerosol generating host 2. The adjusting bracket 1 can be detachably connected to the fixed bracket 22 via a locking assembly 23. The adjusting switch 24 is used to control the locking assembly 23 to achieve locking and unlocking of the locking assembly 23.

[0082] Of course, the aerosol generating host 2 also includes structures such as a battery and a controller. The above structures and the structure of the atomizer 3 can refer to the existing structures in the relevant technology and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0083] In other similar embodiments, the aerosol generating host 2 also includes a disinfection component 27 located in the shell 21, and a first through-hole 12 is provided on the adjustment bracket 1; when a nozzle 31 pointing to the aerosol generating host 2 is inserted into the shell 21 through the adjustment bracket 1, the disinfection medium released by the disinfection component 27 can pass through the first through-hole 12 and act on the nozzle 31.

[0084] Exemplarily, the disinfection component 27 can be an ultraviolet lamp with a disinfection function. When the ultraviolet lamp is turned on, the light with a disinfection function emitted by the ultraviolet lamp can pass through the first perforation 12 and act on the suction nozzle 31, sterilizing and disinfecting the suction nozzle 31 in the form of light radiation.

[0085] Exemplarily, the disinfection component 27 may also be a spray disinfection component 27 with a disinfection function. When the spray disinfection component 27 is started, the disinfectant with a bactericidal function can be sprayed in a mist form. At this time, the mist disinfectant can be transported to the surface of the nozzle 31 through the first perforation 12, and the chemically active components of the disinfectant react with the germs to achieve a disinfection and sterilization effect. The disinfectant can be a solvent with a disinfection function that has been disclosed in the relevant structure.

[0086] In some embodiments, the disinfection assembly 27 can be installed on the side of the fixed bracket 22 facing the adjustable bracket 1; or, the disinfection assembly 27 can be installed on the side of the fixed bracket 22 facing away from the adjustable bracket 1. In order to prevent the fixed bracket 22 from affecting the normal use of the disinfection assembly 27, a second through hole 224 is provided on the fixed bracket 22, and the second through hole 224 is connected to the first through hole 12.

[0087] Specifically, the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 224 are sequentially arranged along the first direction.

[0088] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 In addition to the nozzle 31, the atomizer 3 also includes an input electrode 32. Correspondingly, an output electrode 28 is also provided at a corresponding position of the aerosol generating host 2. When the atomizer 3 is electrically connected to the aerosol generating host 2, the input electrode 32 is electrically connected to the output electrode 28. The nozzle 31 is located outside the housing 21. Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the nozzle 31 is located in the housing 21 and is arranged corresponding to the disinfection component 27 , the atomizer 3 and the aerosol generating host 2 are in a non-electrical connection state, and the input electrode 32 formed on the atomizer 3 points to the outside of the aerosol generating host 2 .

[0089] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating host 2 further includes a first circuit board 29 , and the output electrode 28 and the disinfection component 27 are both electrically connected to the first circuit board 29 .

[0090] See also Figure 5The output electrode 28 and the disinfection component 27 are both fixedly mounted on the first circuit board 29 .

The locking hook 232 is configured to move between a locking position and a release position relative to the locking slot 231. In the locking position, the locking hook 232 is engaged with the locking slot 231 to engage the adjusting bracket 1 with the fixed bracket 22; in the release position, the locking hook 232 is separated from the locking slot 231, and the adjusting bracket 1 can slide relative to the housing 21 to approach or move away from the fixed bracket 22. The housing 21 is provided with an adjustment hole 212 for the adjustment switch 24 to pass through. The adjustment switch 24 extends into the housing 21 through the adjustment hole 212 and is movably connected to the fixed bracket 22 and can be kept against the locking hook 232. The adjustment switch 24 can push the locking hook 232 to move relative to the locking slot 231 under the action of an external force to unlock the locking slot 231.

[0095] Specifically, pressing the adjustment switch 24 can apply a certain force to the locking hook 232 and push the locking hook 232 to deform.

[0096] In response to the deformation of the locking hook 232, the locking hook 232 can be unlocked from the locking slot 231, and the adjusting bracket 1 and the fixed bracket 22 are now in an unlocked state, and the adjusting bracket 1 can move along the first direction and move closer to or farther from the fixed bracket 22. After the external force pressing the adjustment switch 24 is removed, the locking hook 232 can restore its deformation, and when the fixed bracket 22 and the adjusting bracket 1 remain in contact, the locking hook 232 can restore the engagement with the locking slot 231, and the fixed bracket 22 and the adjusting bracket 1 are now connected through the locking assembly 23.

[0097] One of the locking slot 231 and the locking hook 232 is located on the fixed bracket 22, and the other is located on the adjustable bracket 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the locking slot 231 is formed on the adjustable bracket 1, and the locking hook 232 is formed on the fixed bracket 22. In other similar embodiments, the locking hook 232 can be adjusted to be located on the adjustable bracket 1, and the locking slot 231 is located on the fixed bracket 22.

[0098] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 The adjustment switch 24 includes a pressing portion 241 and a pushing portion 242, wherein the pressing portion 241 is located outside the housing 21, and the pushing portion 242 extends through the adjustment hole 212 into the housing 21 and can maintain contact with the locking hook 232. A first elastic member 243 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the pushing portion 242, one end of the first elastic member 243 passes through the adjustment hole 212 and contacts with the side of the pressing portion 241 facing the housing 21, and the other end contacts with the fixing bracket 22.

[0099] When the adjustment switch 24 is pressed, the push portion 242 moves and pushes the locking hook 232 formed on the fixed bracket 22 to deform and generate a certain displacement relative to the locking slot 231. In response to the displacement of the pressing portion 241 in the press switch, the first elastic member 243 is squeezed and deformed, and a certain elastic potential energy is stored in this process. After the external force pressing the adjustment switch 24 is removed, the first elastic member 243 releases elastic energy to restore the initial shape. In response to the shape change of the first elastic member 243, the adjustment switch 24 is reset. In this process, the push portion 242 moves toward the outside of the fixed bracket 22, and the locking hook 232 also restores the initial shape.

[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first elastic member 243 may be a spring structure sleeved outside the pushing portion 242 .

[0101] See also Fig.11One end of the first elastic member 243 abuts against the outer wall of the pressing portion 241, and the other end abuts against the outer wall of the fixing bracket 22. The first elastic member 243 does not directly contact the locking hook 232 provided on the fixing bracket 22, and there is a gap between the first elastic member 243 and the locking hook 232 provided on the fixing bracket 22. In other words, the part of the fixing bracket 22 that is in contact with the first elastic member 243 will not be deformed under the pressing action of the adjustment switch 24.

[0102] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 The number of the above-mentioned adjustment switches 24 is two and they are arranged opposite to each other. During operation, the two adjustment switches 24 need to be pressed synchronously to unlock the locking assembly 23.

[0103] In order to prevent the adjustment switch 24 from falling off relative to the fixing bracket 22 and the housing 21 , in some embodiments, the adjustment switch 24 is configured to be snap-fitted to the fixing bracket 22 .

[0104] For details, please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 A first hook 244 is also provided at one end of the regulating switch 24 extending into the housing 21, and a receiving groove 221 for receiving the first hook 244 is recessed on the fixed bracket 22, and a second hook 222 cooperating with the first hook 244 is convexly provided on a part of the surface of the receiving groove 221; the regulating switch 24 is connected to the fixed bracket 22 through the first hook 244 and the second hook 222, and can be extended or retracted relative to the second hook 222 in the receiving cavity under the driving of external force.

[0105] It should be noted that the depth of the receiving groove 221 should not be less than the pressing stroke of the adjustment switch 24. In other words, the distance between the second hook 222 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 221 opposite thereto should not be less than the pressing stroke of the adjustment switch 24.

[0106] Specifically, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 243, the adjustment switch 24 can be engaged with the fixing bracket 22 through the first hook 244 and the second hook 222. When the adjustment switch 24 is pressed against the fixing bracket 22 by an external force, the first hook 244 can move along the receiving groove 221 toward the middle of the adjustment switch 24, and at this time, the first hook 244 is separated from the second hook 222.

[0107] Specifically, in order to improve the stability of adjustment, in some embodiments, the number of the above-mentioned locking components 23 is set to two and they are arranged symmetrically on a plane perpendicular to the first direction; accordingly, the number of adjustment switches 24 is the same as the number of locking components 23 and is arranged accordingly.

[0108] Of course, the number of the locking components 23 can also be three or even more. In this case, the number of the adjustment switches 24 can be adjusted to be the same as the locking components 23 and they can be set in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0109] In order to further improve the user experience and make it more convenient for the user to adjust the position of the atomizer 3 by adjusting the bracket 1, the aerosol generating device 10 also includes an elastic component 25 located in the shell 21, one end of the elastic component 25 is connected to the adjusting bracket 1, and the other end is installed on the fixed bracket 22.

[0110] The elastic component 25 can provide a force for the adjustable bracket 1 to move in the first direction when the adjustable bracket 1 is unlocked relative to the fixed bracket 22. Driven by the elastic component 25, the adjustable bracket 1 in the unlocked state can drive the atomizer 3 to extend in the first direction relative to the aerosol generating host 2. Figure 3 .

[0111] Specifically, the elastic component 25 is used to provide a driving force for the adjustment bracket 1 to extend relative to the housing 21 along the first direction.

The elastic component 25 includes a guide column 251 and a second elastic member 252. The guide column 251 passes through the first installation channel 223 along the first direction, and the second elastic member 252 is sleeved on the guide column 251, and the two ends in the first direction are respectively in contact with the guide column 251 and the fixing bracket 22.

[0113] Specifically, the first mounting channel 223 includes a first through hole 2231 and a second through hole 2232 arranged in sequence along the first direction, the second through hole 2232 is located at the end of the first through hole 2231 away from the adjusting bracket 1, and the inner diameter of the second through hole 2232 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first through hole 2231, so that a step surface 2233 is formed between the first through hole 2231 and the second through hole 2232, and a contact surface 2511 is provided at one end of the guide column 251 close to the adjusting bracket 1; along the axial direction of the guide column 251, the two ends of the second elastic member 252 respectively abut against the abutment surface 2511 and the step surface 2233.

[0114] See also Figure 5 and Figure 8 The number of the first installation channels 223 is at least two and they are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the fixing bracket 22 in the first direction. The number of the elastic components 25 is the same as the number of the first installation channels 223 and they are arranged one by one.

[0115] Specifically, the first end 101 of the adjusting bracket 1 can be fixedly connected to the elastic component 25, or can be kept against each other. Under the limiting effect of the adjusting bracket 1, the elastic component 25 can be stably installed in the fixed bracket 22. Of course, in order to further improve the installation strength of the elastic component 25, a limiting structure can be provided at one end of the guide rod away from the adjusting bracket 1 to achieve limiting with the fixed bracket 22. The structure can refer to the structure already disclosed in the relevant technology, and will not be repeated here.

[0116] In order to better install and fix the elastic component 25, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating host 2 also includes a bottom cover 26 at least partially located in the shell 21, and a second installation channel 261 is opened on the bottom cover 26. Along the first direction, the second installation channel 261 is connected to the first installation channel 223.

[0117] When the aerosol generating device 10 is in a normal use state or a storage state, at least a portion of the elastic component 25 is located in the second installation channel 261 of the bottom cover 26 .

[0118] Of course, the bottom cover 26 can also cooperate with the fixing bracket 22 to form a storage space for installing and accommodating batteries.
